NEW STYLES AND OLD FASH.
IONS.

Novelty in this seasons fashions
is perhaps the keynote to its extrava-
gance and elegance. New ideas are
coming forth every day, and they are
all beautiful in the extreme. The
new theatre scarfs made Of chiffon
and crepe de chine are among the
latest and they are embroidered in
BEAUTIFUL style, with all sorts of flow
ers and quaint designs. Inside Of the
evening cloak they give decidedly
soft finish.
Suits of tan broadcloth with dark
velvet collars, are quite the thing
for spring days, and although they
have been worn considerably they
are indeed popular.
Artificial flowers are worn on
many of the dainty frocks for after
noon and evening functions. and
they make attractive decorations.
Quilts are much in favor again.
They make plain hats extremely
smart and give a touch of chicness
to the shape.
Bunches of velvet violets nestle
among the lace trimmings Of the new
and latest hats.

Lena, distant whistle in the village
Of Shackleford booomed out the noon
hour.
"Time for me to have my picnicr'
cried Lena, jumping up. She would
have it-just where she used sometimes
to carry her suppers on that visit long
ago. She had quite forgotten that on
the first occasion it had been her cousin
Hannah who had showed her the spot.
You follow the stone wall, osergrown
with wild rose vines. You dip down
the hill out of sight of the house, Of
the barn, and on you go until you reach
the clearest of little brooks running
through the greenest of meadows.
The stream turns and twists in tor
tuous fashion, and all its turns are
outlined through the meadow by the
low willows that skirt the banks. In
one spot an old willow, half-uprooted,
has fallen across the brook, forming
live and growing bridge. Blackbirds,
black-wingeG and red-winged, are noisy
in the willows all day long, and little
minnows flash through the brown, peb-
bly, depths of the stream. You may
hang over the willow bridge and watch
them.
Lena climbed out on the old tree
trunk, and sat there, swinging her feet
over the water while she ate. She had
lost her sunbonnet somewhere on the
way, and her hair was loose. She
knocked her heels against the tree
trunk in time with little song she
hummed.
Her luncheon over, she rested her
chin on her hands, her hair tumbling
about her rosy face, and she became
gradually pensive.
tits perfect holiday" she said,
Except for one thing, and that isl
wish had some one to play with"
She started suddenly. Who could
possibly come visiting this far corner
Of the farm at this hour of the day?
Yet some one was surely moving along
"a the other side of the brook.
Lena did not stir. She peered vainly
through the screening willow branches.
Some one was coming across by the
willow bridge. The branches parted
face appeared!
The old-maidenly bonnet was hanging
by the strings, the neat-brushed hair
had come loose into naughty little girl
ish curls, the eyes were shining, the
cheeks were as red as Lena's; at that
instant, framed in the green willows,
she looked almost as young.
"Cousin Hannah!' cried Lena.
"Lenar gasped Hannah.
Then they broke into laughter so
merry, SO prolonged, that the black
birds few off in a protesting flock.
The girls had not known that they
could laugh like that. They laughed
until it seemed that they could never
speak again; but laughing did more
than words could have done, and ex-
planned much they had never under
stood before. At last Lena spoke:
"Cousin Hannah, the next time we
take holiday, let's take it together,
and and-let's not be Briarley's any
more."-Youth's Companion.

A badly disappointed tenderfoot
found his way to ranch in the Sui
phur Springs Valley, Arizona, last Au-
gust. He had gone to Ell Paso from
Pennsylvania a few months before,
and after spending few weeks vainly
searching for employment, he placed
an advertisement in one of the local
dailies. Among the replies received
was one from the proprietor Of ranch.
The offer appealed to him because it
semeed to offer more fresh air than
any Of the others, and his Eastern doc
tor had advised him to take all the
fresh air he could. and that little
''roughing it, would do him no harm.
So he reported at Jim Musgrove's
ranch, stating that he was the machin-
list who had advertised for position.
"Well, stranger" said Jim, 1--WE need
machinist here most as bad as we
need water, and reckoned you was the
man we're wanting"
The machinist was all smiles. He
picked up his kit Of tools and followed
as the ranchman led the way back Of
the four-room adobe house and pointed
out what looked like covered wash
tub with few gears attached AID a
side handle.
"There you are" said Jim, pointing
to the tub. There's your machine.
Git to work. Twenty-Five a month and
your board if you can make that thing

If you're any kind of ma'chi1ist here's
chance to make good"
"a machinist," said the disappointed
and crestfallen applicant, repairs ma

the power and keep them running. You
ought to hire a washerwoman to run

pairs"

A machinist who can't run a machine
is the same as horse I once saw to the
circus. He had six legs, but he couldn't
even trot, cause he had to carry two
of 'em in a sling when he walked. AS
near as I can see from your tell, what
want is a machinist whose wife takes

HOUSEHOLD WORK PROMOTES
FIGURE.

The fountain of youth today is
largely to be had in exercise and the
will, with plenty of fresh air. Be-

should be gone through with open
windows, inhaling the good fresh
air. A stepladder to run up and
down is a great incentive to health;
wind exercises. hip exercises, rotary
motions. all keep the body lithesome.
and prevent stoutness. Then diet
has to be considered; too much
liquid should never be taken with
meals; too much meat is bad. There
is nothing better for the figure than
