a prose poem from which we make
copious extracts, and wish we had
room for more: "rhey bloom and
blossom on every side-happy creations
inspiring visions, incentives to religious
observance, filters of the front pews,
makers of domestic reunions, social
sidelights, crowns to feminity, apeXes
of loneliness, provokers of mulierosity
perambulating parti-colored vegetation
daily hints from Paris messages from
mas, formal Italian gardens en- route
sweet darling things-the artistic chef-
d'ouvres of dainty fngers-at ten dol
lars finger. Nothing on earth Is
more suggestive of the recurrent mys-
terry of change than the spring bunnlt.
How do they do it? How ever can ART
dissemble form and form cut new cap
ers and color so amble over the green
and rainbows slice themselves up INTO
so many halftones and posles grow
into such amiable PROJECTIONS? VINO
deViSes these wonders like unto the
dreams of king of carnival? VINO
declares what shall be the prevailing
color and what shall most induce
woman to go to meeting? VINO de-
clares that this year Il clamsheli snail
be the proper caper where last year IL
was Il half peck measure turned up at
one side? Who sits in the leash of the
spring bunnit and pulls the string?
Who announces to the waiting world
that whereas, last year the proper thing
was red and yellow this year it shall
be yellow and red? Who-I demand!
+ In sail the gaily
colored craft right and left, fleet OF
them. Here is a lovely red-faced girl
who ought to wear something not SO
all-tired red and rosy, yet who blazes
a flambeau of crimson roses that nou
in the breeZes like the dipping
painted sails of the craft on the Vene-
tan shore off the Lido at one of the
scarlet Italian sunsets. Here comes a
fair and stately maiden consciously,
unconscious under chip of bonnet
that never put someone back less than
forty dollars, and that properly looks
to have been made in four minutes and
to have cost not over eleven cents.
Here comes the freckled-fa girl, de-
fiant in the hottest thing out OF the
millinery shop-a dream of pictur-
esqueness. Here is the modest thing
of maturer tastes. Right and left
they CLEAN, forward and aft they sail.
We percolate into church. The min
lister breaches of the lessons of the day
and the audience settles at last into
respectful attention and wonders if it's
hat is on straight.
saw a hat the other day that hadn't
floor space enough under it to stick a
hat pin into without putting ear-tiaps
on it. 1t had "a porte cochere in front
and an ell and carriage house in the
rear and a fagpole sticking out OF the
front window 1t was green with white
trimmings and green blinds. 1t was a
large and roomy structure and looked
as though someone would have to fol-
low on behind it all summer and catch
it in every high wind. | saw another
hiatt have been very observing this
week and am not to blame either
that sat right on the back of little
pug nosed head and that was tied right
around to the back hair with pins
This is the Shamrock III. hat. Every
time a breeze gets under the hat it lifts
the cup. The girl who wore it was
trying to lead Il bull-terrier and set
around the head of Lisbon street, at the
same time Every time she tried to
wear ship with the dog in tow, the
hat reared into the air like q buckinG
bronco at sight of a red automobile.
She had my pity, but had | proffered
it she would have scoTned it, for the
hat was OF the new. quahaug shape and
the very latest"
