spring is in the air, for last evening
deluge of letters brought me a spring
poem to grace this column.
1t was more or less Of joke, think,
but there are other signs, just the
same, even If 1 will not be permitted to
tell their names and am obliged to un-
reservedly postpone a couple of an
nouncements.
One is a dashing young widower and
the other is one Of the most coveted
young bachelors in town. Needless to
observe, the young women are sweet
and delightful and mi-blondes, and
so-forth.
But there are other signs. Whereas
a few shops still show broadcloths,
others are displaying the most bewild-
ering summer effects, all the way from
ball gowns to the tailored shirt waist.
When two engagements are uppermost
in my mind my fancy seems to turn
to gowns
One Of these prospective benedicts
has become just a model young man,
refusing even to stay up after mid
night or to join his club friends at the
very mildest kind of a feast. AS for
the other Well, his bachelor GRO
nies have summed it up in HE is hard
hit"
There is one of the prettiest widows
you ever saw playing havoc with a
few hearts about here and some ad-
Joining towns. She is petite and pretty,
with brown eyes and wealth of light
hair and, not content to keep three or
four admirers dancing, she has also
ensnared young bachelor who is here
for short time from the east.
One thing about this widow which is
delightful is that she is not Jealous.
30 many are catfish" you know, and
dreadfully designing, and-so-forth, but
she really isn't. At least that is what
her admirers say.

ture. Red roses were used in the liv-
ing room and library.
