ANOTHER SEASON OF LINEN.
SrGNS THAT THE SUMNER GIRL
Will BE LOYAL TO 1T.

The linen frook looms large among the
.surlv spring models and models for South
ON wear, and apparently we are 10 have
another linen season. though this early
. Familiarity may possibly be an echo from
last season, rather than prophecy.
Linen, as Il rule, has not the supple drap-

Nothing really new in linen has appeared
o. far this season; but the counters are
plled with linens in all oolorings and all
Qualities. fne and coarse, smooth or rough.
Soma of the smooth linens, while firm,
are remarkably soft and flexible for heavy
linen and there are beautiful embroidered
linens in this same quality.
The tot and the ring figures did not end
Their popularity last season, hut are con-
.nicuous on all classes Of goods. including
some particularly smart linens in white
string color. and the soft dull blues, green's
and pnds have embroidered on their sur
face groups of two interlAcing rings set at
considerable intervals.
The wafer dot in heavy raised embroidery
and self color Is also in evidence upon many
81 the new linens, and there are expensive
linens. with little openwork embroidery

They are not allowed to approach
the good children, but may tease and
frighten the naughty ones as much as
they like. They. do this at first as a
matter Of duty. Duty is followed by
the pleasures whose anticipation had
ccused them to enlist-pleasures which
consist in strange dances and antics.
and in pursuing the larger girls with
the attempt to blacken their faces.
Their whole appearance is intended to
be grotesQue and farcical. For the en-
tire evening they are allowed full IL
cense in the villages. though in some
of the towns the festival has. for good
reasons, been prohibited. For weeks
before the eve of st. Nicholas n devil
may occasionally be seen at the Win
dow of some cottage where the chill
dren are supposed to be naughty or
their elder sister is known to be par
ticularly attractive. 1t is proof OF the
sound nerves Of the children that no
harm comes from the ordeal.
When st. Nicholas has left the chill
dren return to their own homes, but
they do not believe that the generosity
of the sanity bishop has been ex-
hausted. After saying their prayers
and going to bed they place dishes or
baskets upon the windowsiil, with
their names written within them, and
in these their parents deposit small
presents. which their little sons and
daughters fancy he has brought.
In many places the bugbear over
shadows in Importance both the Christ
child and St. Nicholas. He appears
under different names and in different
guises. In Lower Austria he is the
friGhtful Krampus. with his clankins
chains and horrible devils mask. who,
Notwithstanding his gilded nuts and
apples, gingerbread and toys. which
he carries in his basket, is the terror
of the nursery. In Hanover, Holsteln
and Mecklenburg he is known as Clas.
In Silesia his name is Joseph.
Sometimes the bugbear was fe-
male. In Lower Austria she was
called the Budelfrau. In Suabia 1t
was the Berchtel who chastised chill
dren that did not spin diligently with
rods, but rewarded the industrious
with dried pears, apples and nuts.
The female bogie survives, especially
in Russia and in Italy. In the former
place she is known as the Baboushka,
in the latter as the Befana. Befana
is a corruption of Epiphania or Epi-
phany. For it is on Epiphany. Janu-
arv G, that the Italians make presents
to their children in commemoration OF
the gifts given by the three wise men
to Christ on that date.-Ncw York
