safely do anything which she would
mot like 10 tell him. Though it may
seem to her TOO trivial to be worth
Speaking Of. but she should have moth
ing in her life which is Intentionally
hidden from him.
The only secrets which she NAV
rightly keep from him are other peO-
pies, but OF these she should hear as
few as possible. Confidence thrust
upon her without her consent she is
not bound to respect. ana she should
be very careful to whom she gives her
word not tn repeat anything which
may be told her. 1t is Il safe plan
when asked to keep n secret to say:
Don't tell me if you would mind my
telling my husband" and if the friend

offered for sale at nearly all the sea-
side resorts, but are not found. except
in very rare cases, on our coast. They
are natives Of the seas of warm CHM

their frailness they are seldom found
in perfect condition. the edges usually
being more or less cracked or Clipped.
and for this reason an unhlcmiShed

folded around it. An ostrich feather
Of the same color is attached behind
TO a velvet handeau so that its tip
urls over the edge OF the brm. and
blue osprey sweeps round from the
back of the crown to the front.
Another, also turned up behind but
not in flutes, is a capelinp of biscuit
colored cloth felt blocked in one with
a circular baRdeau increasing in width
toward the back. The low -domed or
basin crown and three-fourths of the
hrim are SWatched over with olive
green velvet. leaving only a border of

base OF the crown is tightly twisted
