A PRIZE STORY.

Tea was over and three sisters had gathered. as
usual. 70 prepare their lessons for the following
day. Each one held her own corner and deemed
t indispensable to good work. Since all rights were
reserved. however no one cared to intrude. Sleepy
Maude cured up in the Morris chair. debating
with herself IL she should study her lesson before
she retired for the night, If she should study II
in the morning before breakfast. Lazy Flo
stretched out the rug before the hearth. ap-
parentIy deeply engrossed in French verbs: but
French verbs were furthest from her thoughts.
Flo was thinking about her dress and wonder
ing If her winter hat could stand another season.
Ethel sat enthrOned upon the sofa, head and feet
alike supported by cushions. giving her undivided
attention TO a generous piece OF pie
"Oh. hddlesticks! I'm just tired Of studying so
much, and Flos book landed in the corner OF the
room.
Never mind. dear; you know II is our duty TO
study and should be glad Of the privilege. said
Ethel in a patrOnizing tone.
Don't moralize and begin to preach. Ethel II
doesn't become your years and stature. said Flo.
raising her hand in dramatic way.
"Oh. girl do be quiet. 1 was just in quiet doze.
and you always disturb me- With another sigh.
followed by yawn. Maude changed her position
"Humph' Miss Tonch-me-not!' said Flo. turning
pause of few seconds. II say. girls. I've got
something jolly to tell you Wouldn't i be fine
In HgP second Hiaude and Ethel We're at Flos feet
ready 70 make suggestions and hear particulars 5
Obstacles, by one. overcome; but one they
forgot Would mother cOnSentF They all suddenly
realized this but none cared to mention any OBJ
lection because the plan delightful that the
mere thought Of being disappointed was summed.
AS the girls became more enthusiastic over the
plan. they did notice the slim figure In black
who stepped into the room. One need not nave
been told that she the mother OF the little
trio around the hearth. The loving glance she
gave thsm spoke volumes
Here's motner!'' they all cried and soon mother
was sitting in the armchair; shared by Maude and
Ethel each on an arm. and Flo at her feet.
OF course the plan had 10 be repeated for mothers
sake, and, as If from habit, Flo brOached the sub
tect first. breathess silence ensued. during which
mother was considering if IL would be a wise plan
70 grant them their desire. II she had any Objec-
tions, mOtherlike. she OveFcame them, and. IN her
desire please them. granted their request. II IS
needless say that their gratitude was unlimited
and mother was borne in triumph out OF the room,
Monday morning.
Monday morning dawned clear and cold. and the
sun was peeping far into the room when Flo
awakened. For the moment the dazzling whiteness
of the snow blinded her; but. although she was
in a doze, she felt vague consciousness that tt was
time TO get up.
II wonder why mother hasn't called u.s. she
thought, and nstinctvely she turned to the clock.

almost covered by the trimming. which consists
only of single enormous ostrich feather shad-
ing from gray TO black. This starts from one
SIDE and goes all around the brim with n long

The bell-shaped hats are as popular as in the
spring and are much more heavily trimmed In
some cases the brim rests directly on the hair
without any cachepeigne and very odd this ap-
pears beside the tilted hats. This shape in
black rice straw with the brim lined with hlua
is most attractive. The upuer part of the hat
is ornamented with a huge black bow and a
mass Of glossy black heron feathers. This is
nor the only odd shape worn. There is the cha
lotte." which is nothing but huge mob cap
snlrred in TO make a brim and tied about with
ribbons. with a big bow in front. This is some
times made of SATIN with the brim, or the rufie
that passes for the brin lined with a color
which matches the ribbon trimming. For in
stance a white satin "chalotte' has the hrim
lined with blue, and there is a wide blue ribbon
about the crown. tying in front with big bow
This is quite as babyish and trying to the
average mature face as the lingerie hats which
Tor several seasons have been worn by women
OF all ages.
A picturesque hat is of soft straw. with a
wide brim dropping front and back. Under the
brm is a ruffie of black velvet ribbon which
side of the brirn is loaded with variegated roses

up again. and promises to rage in midsummer.
1t hardly seems the moment for it when one
considers that during the spring the women
wore the merest excuses for boleros.
1t would he incorrect to state that tiny boleros
and peerines are going out of fashion but 1t is
true that in the smart world, where there must
always be a change, longer garments are now
preferred. There is sleeveless coat that is
smart whether it is cut like a box coat or drawn
into a belt with pleated coattais behind. A
pretty gown in pale pink crepe de Chine is
worn with a taffeta coat OF this sort. The
gown is inset with lot of Cluny lace, embroid-

Polly took to the typewriter at once. She
was greatly interested when the instrument was
brought in, and when she saw sit down and
punch the keys, her desire TO punch the keys
too, knew no bounds. While August may never

Polly in accomplishments and attractiveness be-

Already August begins to show a lot Of in
dividuality. During his five weeks voyage from
Hamburg he received much attention from mis-
keepers that by the time he reached the Zoo
he was a spoiled child In self41efence Keeper
Reilly had 10 give him playmate, for August
claimed so much attention and made such a.
incessant display of affection that it was ns--

fancied himself neglected he showed his jealousy
of the others by sticking his thumb in Keeper
Reillys mouth TO bite.
Augusts coming has made good deal of diff
