SPRING MILLINERY
Some of 1t Is Most Exquisite and Some
of It Is Certainly Not.

Most of the spring millinery is exqui-
Eite. but the little pill box or casserole

are what might be classed under the
head of humorous hats Two of
these odd little hats were seen in one OF
the smart milIiner's windows yesterday
They are perfectly found-and between
twelve and fifteen inches In circum-
ference-and two inches and half high.
They have no brim, and look as If one
was wearing a brimless sailor
One was of fine yellow chip. and Its
trimming was positively impairment in
its audacity. 1t was encircIed by a
scarlet belt of soft. dull leather The
belt was fastened at one side with the
usual buckle covered with leather, ard
the loose end was pulled up above the
crown TO give the effect of a bow or
pompon. perhaps. At the back of this
queer little hat were some small red
checked apples that fell down upon the
coiffure,
Another funny chapeau of the same
size and shape was covered with mass
made OF blue satin loops that climbed
up above the top of the hat and below
1t to the hair. AT one side was a bunch
of cherries.
Even old uaguerreotypes do not show
more eccentric headgear than these pill
box oddities. but they have their at
tractive versions, and one seen at the
theater the other night-worn by a
pretty girl in box-was made of row
upon row of narrow cream lace and
had single mauve dahlia at one side

GROWING OLD
The Noticeable Change in the Manner
Nowadays.

The change in this matter of growing
old, since the time when the lady of
thirty-eight felt herself too ancient to
wear a flower IN her cap, IS interesting.
1t is especially interesting at that dread
full moment when We first realize that
we are ourselves no longer young. 1t Is
an extraordinary moment; pain, denial,
rebellion. hopeiessness. 1t arrives in
many different ways. IT used to come
with spectacles-but nowadays the babe
wears spectacles; sometimes 1t creeps up
on with a little stirening of the
joints; one does not run upstairs quite
as lightly as one did. 1t may even re-
veal itself in the impotence that is felt
because people do not speak quite as
distinctly as they should-an impotence
to which the younger generation rudely
refers as deafness. These are gradually
limitations that we are not as young
as we were. There are abrupt ones-es-

Wflng in Japan.

A Japanese woman. when abandoned

she gets UP in the middle of the night

HOWE, ITS PROBLEMS AND INTERESTS
PLEASANT MANNERS
Make or Mar a Man or w,man

Many lovely creature with clumsy
manners has failed TO turn her beauty
10 account, and many plain woman
with graceful and genial manners has
achieved social fortunes to be admired
A triumphal career Is due no less TO
peerless loneliness than TO the cordial
and delightful ways that win all hearts.
The manners which eyince warm in
terest in others without the timidity
that binders its expression, without the
intrusion which makes ones self too
prominent are the manners as potent as
beauty
Perfectly regulated manners. indeed.
often require a dramatic aptitude for
throwing one's self into the Identity of
others, losing one's self for the time in
each new individual. There must be
abnegatfon of self. and quick good will
to parry the shaft that might wound.
There must be light-hearted bravery
which never allows one to be put down
by trif1e, by pomposity. or Ill temper,
or bruHshness in any guise, and always
makes easy the utterance of the apropos
word.
There must be a capacity for keeping
cne's temper under all conditions. and a
reticence concerning annoyance, per-
sonal or domestic.
These winning manners can exist with
out reference TO the minor matters of
etiquette, whose rules vary from one
genera ton to another, and in their va
riations proclaim themselves matters of
fashion,
These manner fashions are to be re-
garded, and regarded with all their
trifles, when life in the wider world has
given US knowledge of them. each trifie
in etiquette adding its grace TO the bear
ing and address.
But Without this punctilio pleasant
manners are perfectly possible, and they
are to be cultivated as duty. Old
Lady Mary in Mrs. Oliphants romance
kept everybody comfortable so that she
would be comfortable herself. The root
OF all good manners is an absolute I'M
selflshness and unceasing care for
others.
Aristotle needed not to call manners
the lesser morals. They are among the
largest and broadcast morals, giving ex-
preston as they do of our feeling for
our feIIOW-men.

The FIRST Bauble Shop.

It may interest women to know that
the first ieweiry store was started in the
city of Chang On about 5000 years ago

that period knew nothing of the fascina-
ton of diamonds, because diamonds
were not in vogue at that B. c. period.

Not Poetic, But Profitable.

Here is tip to the woman who Is a
gardener for business reasons She
should raise onions. For them, says a
tcountry paper, the farmer can get dol
lar a bushel, with a prospect Of higher
prices before long, The onion crop In
Europe was a failure last year. and a
great many are being sent over the
water at the present time. Twenty thou
sand bushels were sent in one consign-
ment from Sunderland, Mass, few
days ago. 1t is estimated that there are
now about 10000 bushels in the Connect
cut valley which can be bought by peo-
pie who have got the price" They are
said to be mostly owned by four men.
There is a very good profit in raising
onions at a dollar a bushel-a good deal
more than in producing tobacco at the
present time Indeed, II may be doubted
whether there is any other crop which
pays SO handsomely as the odoriferous
vegetable which is now commanding
such high price in this part of the
country.
