1t may be doubted if it is within the

is scarcely any M who will contend
that civilization would not advance, the
world become better and life for all

ent duty which he al easily do.
There is one sure way Of reforming
the world, and that is for each person

A Literal Minded Class,

A teacher in one Of the schools near
Philadelphia had me day been so dis
turbed by the buzzing Of lips and shut
fling Of feet Of the children that she
was on the verge of distraction. Final
ly she said: Children, I cannot stand
so much noise. Please be quiet for q
little while. at least. Let M see if you
can't be so still that you could hear q
pin drop"
Instantly every child became as still
as a mouse. Then a little boy in a back
seat piped out, with marked impa'
tience:
"Well let her drop!'-Philadelphia
Ledger.

The Bird of Paradise.

Probably no famous bird has a small.
er habitat than the bird of paradise,
whose beautiful feathers are so highly
priced in the millinery trade. No one
knows why the varieties Of this beauti-
full bird are confined to the island of
New Guinea and the neighboring
coasts Of Australia. There are many
other islands not far away where the
conditions would seem to be equally
favorable to their existence, but they
are not found among them.

tinue much in favor. A variation In the
trimming, however. Is noticeable. Within
the past few weeks, instead of having
the wide laces run perpendicularly. they
are made to encircle the skirt at regu-
lar intervals; that Is, provided the fig
ure can stand it. The tucks are still fine
and perpendicular in most cases.

The skirt showed four deep ruffies, each
pinked top and bottom. in the way pc
culiar, i believe, to the year 1898. The
bodice had numerous small ruffies fin
ished In like manner, which quite en-
circled the slender shoulders and bust,
until they were confined in a wide soft
girdle of palest pink at the waist. The
sleeves were very short-little more than
ruffled caps-and finished in pink bows.
There have been several skating par
ties at the different Kinks recently, and
the costumes Of the girls have been more
stunning than ever. You simply cannot
get too much trimming on them. particu-
larly IL II is fur trimming. One very
young girl. not day over sixteen, ap-
peared in a light cloth short suit with
an ermine fiounce, fully foot in depth,
about the bottom of her skirt and
huge muff. Her tight short coat had
a sailor collar of ermine. deep cuffs and
a belt. Her toque was also of ermine,
without the black tails. and had large
black pompon, by way of contrast,
standing erect from a fold in the left side
of the brim. Another girl was a charm
ing study In golden browns. Her simple
Norfolk suit was of corduroy, and her
hat and furs were of sable. Mrs Frank
Gould wears just such a costume when
out for a morning shopping trip or with
her husband In his automobile.

The automobile toilets of women are
improving all the time, but those Of the
men are growing worse and worse. In
deed, many a handsome woman may be
seen sitting beside some indistinguish-
able man, who is got up like a veritable
ogre. The fur and leather coats are be-
ing made in a less cumbersome manner,
and are now more becoming.
Lillian Russell wears a lovely coat of
Russian squirrel, with wide revers and
a violet trimmed toque to match: and
invariably a perfectly huge bunch of
violets adorns the front Of the coat. Her
wells are usually white. and what are

1t seems that as street and evening
gowns and fancy waists become more
and more elaborate, wedding gowns are
made more and more simply. Simplicity
certainly appears to be their keynote
this month. Satin or heavy silks made
on Princess lines are the very smartest.
The latest cry in bridesmaids gowns
is to combine various colored shades OF
the same color in their making. The
effect of this shading is charming. At
a late afternoon church wedding last
week. the bride wore Princess gown Of
white satin. with the draped front panel
elaborately embroidered in floral design
This was. however, practically the only
trimming on the gown. the back Of which
was concealed by the heavy lace Of her
veil. White cloth costumes predomi-
mated among the guests, and several
were exquisite. One in particular, was
made up with the new antique and wool
lace in various widths. 1t was applied
to the skirt in the shape of a wide trail

FASHION

NEW YORK, Feb. H.-What with au-
tomobile. riding, golf, rainy day. car
riage, afternoon and evening. dinner and
opera gowns and wraps, the size of
fashionable woman's wardrobe is nova
days something astounding. We mod
ishes have found the closets Of the win
ter resort hotels utterly inadequate for
our accommodation, and ii is not at all
unusual for us when we go to Florida
or elsewhere at this season to take an
extra room simply for our clothes. Half
the satisfaction of being well gowned is
due to the care given to ones costumes
when not in use The best garments may
be ruined by inattention. while many
say that the hardest use their clothes
receive is not in the wearing. but in the
closet. Crepe de chine and silks are
especially susceptible to iii or to good
care. Nothing looks worse than a crepe
gown even only slightly wrinkled. since
the chief beauty of this material is its
soft, silky smoothness.

The hat which completed the outfit was
a broad. fiat, white beaver, with dell

ed from its inner brim.
Accordion-pl plated skirts, with much Of
the fullness drawn out, are in vogue with
the slender, and two girls. known popu-
larly as society's twins, were gowned in
this fashion for the function of which

crepe de chine, which takes accordion
plating charmingly. The skirts showed
medallions Of lace here and there, and
the bodices were wholly Of lace over the
plated crepe. The sleeves were plated
and shirred into the arm-holes to the
depth Of about four inches, and then the
fullness fell unconfined to the elbow.
From here the lace medallions Joined to-
gether to form a deep cuff.
dark blue satin had squares of Irish
crochet set point to point down the back
from the collar to the end of the train,
and a like arrangement was used in the
front Of the gown.

demi-hounces falling just below the
waist. Each of these was piped with
white silk, and white silk medallions.

stitching. adorned the bottom Of the loose
skirt. This effect in trimming was car
ried out also on the sleeves and sailor
collar. The advance hats are noticeably
smaller than the winter models, and the
high-brimmed turban is to be more pop
ular than ever. In lace and straw, they
are even more fascinating than In furs.
All sorts Of straws. fancy and plain,
with very little trimming, are already
on hand to be worn with the smart new
