classes of the Everett Grammar School.
An interesting programme was rem

letters of Abraham Lincoln. One of
the most interesting numbers was the
rendering, by thirteen little girls
dressed in white, OF the song. "Colum
bia, the Gem of the Ocean," one of the
girls impersonating Columbia, and all
wearing coronets, on each CT which was
the name of one of the thirteen orig

The letters that the Duchess of Marl-

CONN q PoMRADOUp VoLE

, broidered batiste, trimmed with rib
bons and flowers, are to be fashion
able again this coming summer, but
stiff straws and large, fioppy leghorn
, hats have returned to popular favor
with renewed life. Ostrich plumes are
smart at all seasons, year in, year out,
but for summer an ostrich feather Is
only appropriate with the most elab-
crate style of afternoon gowns. There
are, too, many fascinating ways of
trimming summer hat with flowers,
lace and ribbon to have to depend upon
the less hardy plumes, which hold their
own so we'll during the winter months.
Although there is not the same
amount of feather stitching, embroid-
cred flower designs and elaborate hand
work generally to be seen on the
clothes this year, there is, neverthe-
less, apparent the same close atten-
ton to minute details, the same ex-
quisite perfection of fit and suitability
to the wearer as well as the same init
mate knowledge of the art of dress as
have marked the costumes of the last
| two or three years.

Smartest OF all for the afternoon are
the linen skirts, made, perhaps, abso-
lutely plain save for few tucks, with
which are worn little bolero or Elton
jackets of real Irish point. These
jackets are naturally expensive, but
what difference If one can possess an
article which will be the envy of every
feminine eye that might glance and
then look back of it? With this cos
tune the waist should be of finest lawn
batiste. trimmed with bands of Irish
point.

A very popular perfume of the sea-
son is that of the cardinal lily, distinc-
tive and lasting.
Nothing exceeds in durability and
sweetness the fragrance of the rose,
but only the sweet perfume of roses
grown under eastern skies, distilled
and cared for by the patient skill OF

is to be had in this country, but only

that is diluted may be had. A few
drops of the oil of fair quality may be
bought in tiny glass tube for about
seventy-fve cents and long after the
liquid is gone the tube will prove the

way no one would ever imagine that a
skirt was serving a double purpose,
and. therefore, practically two ex-
tremely pretty costumes are to be had
with comparatively little expense.
Again the low waist may be simply
formed of brocade ribbon, save for the
lace sleeves, while the waist for after
noon is of white lace-this plan is even
more easily carried out and is equally
good,
Chiffon is not serviceable material
for warm weather, for dampness al

made up now may have to do service
later on. for when trimmed with lace

gowns are well nigh irresistible.

MAGAZINE
FadS for the
Lenfen Girl

q OMBER Lent has not restrained
~ impatient femlninity from fiaunt-
ing that most certain OF all signs
that winter is over, the spring hat.
The eye is caught by several distinc-
tive features that have not been seen
in women's headgear for some time.
Most pronounced is the tilt that char
acterizes many Of this seasons hats.
II It were not so fixed and firm II
would be termed rakish. But evidently
the angle is determined with intention
aforethought. Behind the spring hat
towers to heights previously undreamed
of atop a wonder of hair architecture.
in accomplishing which art will have
to supplement nature in most cases. for
to few women Is q crown Of glory given
sufficient to meet the requirements Of
these spring hats.
From the eminence in the rear the
hat may slant directly forward and
downward to the eyebrows, somewhat
after the manner of hats affected by
royal princesses, as shown in their pho
tographs, or 1t may diverge and touch
only one eyebrow. Sometimes the lit
inclines toward one ear rather than
toward the eyes. The inevitable thing
is a decided pitch. Individual prefer
ence may decide upon the line 1t will
take.
Girls who adore picture hats, Dolly
Vardens and poke shapes hear with
pain that In Paris they are wearing
small, close fitting hats, toques being
especially favored for evening Some
of these small hats are extremely
dainty, however, made of shaded rose
petals or of ruffes of narrow shirred
ribbon in the new spring hues. Shaded
ribbons and those with small pompd-
dour designs are popular.
Not content with pressing into serv-
ice all the flowers of the garden, the
ingenious milliners are using freak
flowers" freely-roses that are such
only in name, not in form or cof0r, but
very decorative; carnations, forget-me-
nots and other familiar posies in any
color that fancy may dictate, regard
less of nature.
There are many indications in spring
millinery that will cause anguish to
the Audubon society. Wings, breasts
and heads of birds are fashionable Tor
many kinds of hats, although the os-
trich feather and quill, which the hu-
name are permitted to wear hold the
first place in the line of feather trim
mings
The rage for English eyelet embroid-
cry extends to hats this year, and an
advance showing of summer chapeaux
includes lingerie hats for young ladies,
with this style of decoration, similar
to those worn by children except that
they are somewhat more elaborate.

JAPANESE PICTURES
ON THE HUMAN SKIN

Japan has a master of the art of
tattooing, Chyo by name. He can
turn out genuine pictures on the
human skin with the proper lighting
and shading and all the cunning de-
vices for which the painters of japan
are celebrated. His great discovery
was the use of brown in addition to red
and blue, and with these three colors
he has produced verita BILE masterpieces.
A glance through his album Of photo
graphs of the work actually performed
on English and American patrons is ii
l'revelation to one who sees it for the
| first time. Two of the most remark
able are huge dragon in three colors,
covering an American doctors back
entirely, while another is a life sized
| fly which was put on an Engllshman's S
wrist so naturally that one would feel
tempted to call his attention to the fact
| If one were not told that it was the
work of the tattooing needle.
In Chyos bungalow there are always
two or more smiling attendants cn
whose bodies may be seen some of
their masters finest work. which was
executed before he lost the sight of one
of his eyes by constantly straining 1t
over this delicate work. Some of the
| tools used in the work are brightly
decorated ivory sticks, about the length
and thickness of an ordinary lead PEN
| ell, while firmly lashed to the end are
needles of various sizes and ranging
from one to half a dozen. The finer
ones are used for outline work, white
the heavier are used only for shading.
These needles are held and used at
such sloping angle as to give the
smallest amount OF pain possible the
sensation being more like gentle
scratching than anything else. He Is
provided with a miniature hypodermlc
syringe, and this he uses constantly If
requested to do so by those of par.
ticularly tender skins or In cases Of
heavy shading or specially tender
spot Chyo's work is recognized by his
countrymen at a glance and is looked
upon with the greatest respect.

WHAT'S IN A NAME

In Russia every woman of the peas
ant class marries, or pretends to marry
If a girl comes to the decision that no
one intends to ask her to marry she
leaves home, goes to some distant dis
trict and returns after time to an
nounce that she is widow, that she
went away to be married and that her
husband had since died. No embarrass-
ing questions are put to her. for 1t Is
among the peasants considered bad
form to mention a dead man to his
widow.
This curious custom goes to show In
what high regard the women Of Rus
sia look upon the institution Of mar
riage.

but fine enough to be suitable for an
afternoon or evening gown. The gown
of this batiste must not be too fussily
made, for the material should show up
for all it Is worth. Valenciennes lace
is the best combination with 1t pos
sible, and a fichu beneath the lace yoke,
with wide lace cuffs, a broad satin
girdle and deep lace flounce on the
skirt will give all the trimming neces.
sary to a simple and pretty gown.
While white slip may be provided,
this open embroidery is more effective
worn over lining of delicate pink, blue
or green silk. The girdle should match
the Slip and the color might also be
indicated in the trimming Of the leg
horn hat.
Net gowns are made up as much on
the picturesque effect as possible. A
pretty model for a net of large pink
rose design is made with the collar cut
low and the waist or jacket opening
over white vest of lace and net. The
skirt is also opened down the center
over pettcoat of net, trimmed from
below the knees with five fiounces OF |
Valenciennes lace. In this gown the |
material in the waist is draped full
from the side seams and caught in |
tightly beneath a wide shirred band of
mousseline on each side of the vest. |
| The waist, which has no ribbon belt,
is drawn down to a long point in front,

The skirt for this dress is laid in bands
of shrring over the hips, from where
it falls full and loose, finished about
the hem with two narrow rufhes
Plain silk mousseline gowns, in pale
blue, pink, green and white trimmed
only with wide bands of lace insertion,
are most attractive. A pretty model
for gown of this sort is made with
the collarless neck and elbow sleeves!
A soft fichu of lace is draped over the
shoulders with a rosette of liberty satin
ribbon in front. Ends of the lace fall
down to the top of the girdle, which
is fastened in front the hooks hidden
by rosettes of the ribbon. A pretty
sleeve for waist of this description is
made with the full puff beneath the
| fichu, below which is a soft band of
ribbon, the sleeve finished off with two
ruffes of lace. The skirt has two lace
ruffles about the feet, and long straps
of the lace are laid up the skirt, fin
ished with a mitred point just below
the hips.
All the girdles of light dresses are
very wide this year, both the round
belt and that made with the exagger-
ated long point down the center being
fashionable Rainbow girdles are very
effective; that is, those belts formed
of many pieces of ribbon, each of
different shade. Care must be taken,
however, to choose colors that harmon
ize well, and in the pastel tones rather
than darker shades these belts are At
tractive. So wide are some of the gir-
dies of today as to form almost the
main body of the waist, and, indeed,
these bodices give decided note of
color now that all white is a little out

The Smart Lace Robe

Lace robe dresses are always smart,
and at this time of the year most re-
markable reduction sales are going on
everywhere, and exceedingly pretty
waist and skirt pieces are to be had
most inexpensively. While as in the
case of the open embroidered gowns,
white slip should be provided it is
rather the fad of the moment to make
up the lace costumes over some very
pale shade, the idea being that de-
cided background shows up the pattern
of the lace better than white. Many
lace gowns are made with SO wide
girdle that only sleeve and yoke and
bertha of lace remain-in this case the
broad brocade ribbons, which were
never handsomer than at present, make
the most effective finishing touch.
skirt from being too white for the
waist When economy must be con-
suited it is often found a good plan to
have both high and low waist for
the same skirt. The most successful
attempt at this economy has been
found in the lace skirt Of today, for
which the high waist consists of a
lowered jacket made in Louis XVI
style, with tight fitting three-quarter
coat and chiffon and lace vest while
the low waist is all of white made with
girdle Of some shade totally different
from the silk of the high waist. In this

SOUTH BURNING ITS COTTON.
Planters and Merchants Eegin De-
struction of Excess supply.

Planters and Merchants Eegin De-
struction of Excess Supply.
Heroic measures have been decided
on by the farmers and merchants of the
Southern States to save the cotton mar
ket. They will burn 100000 bales of
the staple. Each State in the cotton
growing belt is expected to destroy it's
share. Bonfires of the chief agricultural
product of Dixie soon will be lighted all
over the Southern States.
This remarkable course was decided
on after the growers received word of
the slump in the New York market. The
falling off in New York followed the
Washington report that 100000 more
bales had been ginned in the United
States in 1904 than in 1903. The 1908
total was S,747,G69 bales, and that for
this year / ,S4S, 113.
The Southern men felt there was only
one way to prevent further drop in
price, which would mean bankruptcy to
many. This was to relieve the market of
the oversupply caused by the large crop.
The cotton must be destroyed.
At Fort Gaines, Ga, over 5000 bales
were burned, and other towns report SIM
liar bonfres There was much ceremony
observed in the burning. Farmers came
into Fort Gaines from all over the coun-
ty to join with the merchants. From the
plantations and from the local ware
houses the bales were rolled into the
court house square, and after the mer-
chants and farmers had marched around
it in procession the torch was applied. In
several other towns similar scenes were
enacted. 1t is estimated that more than
100000 worth of cotton was destroyed.
1t is said that the example set by Georgia
will be generally followed throughout the
cotton producing States.
