The most lovable girls in the world are
those With sunny disposition. A few
people like the qniet thoughtful girl;
and others the girl who is perpetually
vivaeious and bubbling over with spirits.
But every one likes the girl with the
cheerful, sunny disposition. Girls of this
character are never extravagantly bolster
ous or dismal by quiet; they have pleas
ant smile for. every one. They never
seen. troubled or worried, their voice
is low ard musical and their smile
be they pretty or not-is always
sweet. The only trouble that the sunny
tempered girl has is the outcome of her
popularity. Every one wants to talk to
her, and be in her company. Young
men are attracted to her without effort
on her part, for her character shows itself
so plainly in her actions that young men
are so delighted at the cheeriness and
sympathy of her nature that they are
drawn to her at once. For every reason,
then, the girl with the sunny disposition,
who smiles away the troubles of life, is
favorite. And, what is more, old people
are just as charmed by her as are those OF
her own age.

AN EASTER PICTURE OF HIGHEST MERIT

An Easter picture that fits the occasion
is one of the timely features provided for
the delectation OF buyers of the Sunday
North american for April 18th. Nearly all
of the articles and pictures in the paper
for Easter Sunday breathe the Easter
spirit, but the one that will appeal most
strongly is handsome lithogravure of a
! little girl surrounded by rabbits-the
child's Easter animal.
To give to the artist full and perfect
expression of his work, the printers have
done the picture in ten printings, getting
into the composition every shading of
color that can be produced by mechanical
means The result is a delicate, finished
reproduction, even more attractive than
the wonderfully faithful original.
Tie Gibson picture series will be con-
timed on Sunday April 22d.
The circulation of the Sunday NORTH
Americdn has increased over 80, 600 copies
in the last sixty days. Next Sunday will
be larger than ever. See your newsdealer

NEW YORK FASHIONS

Evidently, mohair braid has had it's
day, and while few, rather small shapes
appear, trimmed by wreaths of flowers,
preference is given to chips, Leghorns or
panamas. Some large evening hats, trim
med with maline and ostrich plumes, are
still of Neapolitan weave, but its contin-
nance is a matter OF conjecture. A large
number of roses pressed closely together,
composing an entire crown or front of a
hat devoid of single green leaf with
many ribbon loops rising high toward the
back or numherless soft puffs at the side,
and an equal number under the brim, is
considered the acme of style.

Short Pungant Paragraphs Gathered Here

An orchardist in Oklahoma raises %
different apples on one tree.
Almost anybody would get sick and
tired of the same things to eat the whole

During a series of revival services in
Southern Minnesota, the farmers tele-
phones were put to good use. Connec-
tions were made with big, megaphone
receiver near the pulpit and the services
could be heard for miles around by all
who had telephone connection.
Governor Hoch OF Kansas, tells story
that always strikes the right spot with
the farmers. One time a merchant put
up blackboard in his store and asked
the customers to write their names on it
and opposite tell what they were doing
for humanity lawyer wrote, II plead

for ALL" A preacher wrote, 81 pray for
ALL" An old farmer walked up, wrote
his name, scratched his head awhile and
then wrote, II pay for all"
John II. Doris, one of the wealthiest
and most successful farmers OF Saline
County, ILL.,, just retired who owns
large farm northwest of this city, does
not allow bird of any kind to be killed
on his land-hawks, crows and blackbirds
not excepted. He has set aside num-
Der of acres which he allows to grow up
in underbtush, in which all kinds OF
birds, especially quail, find home
throughout the Winter, and in the Sum-
mer the place is alive with them. Mr..
Doris claims that hawks do very little
damage in compassion with the good they
do in killing field mice and rats. There
are hundreds of quail on his farm, and
they are SO tame that they come to the
dooryard for food.
Don't hurry, don't worry, don't starve

and the mixture of shades may be i'm.
agined, when profusely trimmed with
flowers of various kinds. A mammoth
bow of flowered ribbon is often the only
trimming on straw, set at one side, with
a Rhinestone buckle at the centre. A
unique garniture is pair of manufactured
wings joined and placed on flat shape;
and so large that they cover the crown
and brim.

The Eton is More Aggressive
than ever, consequently fluffy front is
imperative, and especially necessary that
it should be OF durable material. With
this end in view, embroidered white silk
waists are first choice with connoisseure,
as they give peculiarly elegant finish to
dressy costumes. The newest and most
heantiful are seen at Lord & Taylor's, in
SHADOW embroidery" combining novel;
ty, elegance and beauty of finish. Very
sheer silk waists with lace yokes, in
either black or white, are useful for ordi-
nary wear, but are by no means high
class affairs.

almost put to flight the ruffled chiffon or
lace parasols, and even silk embroidered
(maclline work on silk parasol is quoted
at fourteen dollars, while handem-
broidered linen sells for thirty-five.
Low Shoes and Fine Stockings
The low shoe and Ethiopian double
foot hosiery, thoroughly satisfies the fasll-
ionable woman who desires the combina-
tion of fine mesh and also durability.
The strong point Of these new stockings

and other varieties seem to weigh down
fine net or chiffon foundations, and just
at present gossamar laces appear to be laid
aside. Lace coats are very striking, some
quite long and slipping away at the front,
others are confined at the waist, with a
three quarter skirt and slight blouse front.
Lace boleros, capes of all shapes and sizes,
will give distinction to simple costumes,
and lace bodices almost made up of passe-
menterie and beads, will be very effective
over plain, thin silk waists.

Laxity in Quarantine.

The council here granted Mir. A D. Fisher permission to a1dres the coul!. cil, and that gentleman stated that a nurse girl employed at the residence of MT. J. B. Speers, where a case of diphtheria was reported, had been permitted to leave the premises and go to her home, which was very near his home, and subjected his children and others to infect on He had learn ed of the incident in time to keep his child away from the nurse girls resi- dence. He addressed the council, simply to let the aldermen know that the quarantine regulations were not being enforced properly. and he thought the board of health should be required to look into the matter and keep the infected houses closely quarantined.
 The council expressed istelf that 1t was the sense of that body that the physicians of the city should cooper ate with the board of health in main timing the r!gidity of the quarantine, and not permit anyone to break the rules of the quarantine in cases of contagious and infectious seases.

LACE BUTTONS.

Lace buttons-those most satisfac- tory little things for fastening blous- es and lingerie and baby things-are almost impossible to get, the supply never seeming to equal the demand. Just now it is worse than ever.
 It is a peasant industry-the Irish peasants most particularly-and the work is tedious and slow for the re- turns it brings. Once it was four ishing business, family after family doing that work in the long winter intervals between the work of the fields, handing ii down to the next generation as matter of course.
 But there's not much money in it, and the younger element of the pres. ent day is looking for something that means not only more money, but less work, and that in a different way. 'nything that. doesn't require the pa- tient, unremitting, careful placing of every thread.
 As result. it is dying out, and un- less in few years it can be, revived, it will te case of finding a satisfac- tory substitute. So far there's noth. ing on the market that quite takes their place.

LAXITY IN QUARANTINE
THAT IS THE CHARGE MADE BE FORE COUNCIL A. D. FIsHER-cITY FATHERS REDUCE LICENSE, DISCUSS WATER AND LIGHT TROUBLE A REVISED TElE PHONE ORDINANCE.

Every alderman answered to his name when City Clerk Lee called the roll at the regular session of the city council Monday night. Mayor H. King White presided.
 Some of the features of the meeting are interesting. Mir. A. D. Fisher af- forded the sensation of the occasion by declaring that the quarantine of Giphtheria cases was not being enforc- ed as it should. He was a visitor to the council chamber and was permit ted to address the aldermen on this subject by motion. A modification of the telephone ordinance was laid on the table, where it is likely to rest ill sweet ob.curity for an indefinite pe riod. Probably when new set of aldermen are elected it will be brought forth for re-discussion. The pool room question and the water and light troubles made their appear ance. The latter has come to be look ed for by those who attend the coun- cil meetings. and they would have been disappointed if it hadn't arisen.
