The green's are prominent both in
millinery and frocks, and many new
shades are shown, differing only
enough from the old tones, in some
instances, to justify the statement
that they are new. ALI Of the bronze

almond and willow greens, line OF
elder green's, fresh springlike tint,
appropriately called printania, warm
glowing yellow moss green which is
at times charming in it's millinery

lieving touches upon white or neu-
trail frock-all these are fashionable,
and there is vivid Russian green,
successful in Paris, though not yet
taken up extensively here.

unbecoming. One could not well say
more.

teaching and training, but mothers
cannot afford to overlook certain i'm

slant surveillance when it comes to
good manners and breeding, and any
neglect in this direction is injustice

Bulletin and Scientific Farmer. Teach
the little boys to be chivalrous, which
is really only regard and kindness
after all, and make them realize that
it is below their dignity as young
men to push themselves forward, and

Show them the vulgarity of attending
to any part of their toilet in public
places. Make them realize that bad
manners are an indication, not only
of lack of training, but of their own
ambition to be gentlemen. And above
all things, teach both girls and boys
consideration for infirmity, and show
them the great unkindness in laugh.
