the Woods home.
 The manner in which the child met her death could easily be ! traced. She had strayed away from her home in the snowstorm and had lost her way in the wood. Finally growing tired she lay down beside the mound. Then the snow covered her little body, and thus she died.
 The hunters in their search on horseback, frequently passed within few paces of where the little one lay, but she was hid by heavy drift beside the mound.
 On the night of her disappear ance great bonfire was built within fifty paees of where she had gone to sleep. At that time she was still al1ve, but apparent tly was not aroused by the great commotion near her.
 The drift under which the body lay did not melt for several days. and then when Hildebrant passed the spot he saw the body.
 Probably at no time in the his tory of this section has such d big searching party been organ- ized to look for d lost child.

An elegant bonnet for the dressiest

any service.
But coming down to the very gist o

ladies, the wearer's type must never

have decidedly more privileges in poin
Of cut than stouter ones, and the goo

I should have princesse, fitting the
form perfectly, the material falling IN
soft folds to the feet, the only trim
ming bias folds Of the goods about the
hem or, if you are very tall and slight,
folds may be distributed from hem to
knee length. Very little trimming is
seen on skirts, it all centers on the
waist part. Outline the top Of the
bodice with couple Of shaped over
tapping folds Of the goods, and then
give attention to the yoke. This will
be cut in lining, in deep round form,
with silk laid on plain, suggesting a
small neck empiecement running down
the center front in broad V to meet
the bodice part, and cover with deep
cream or ecru lace, the collar, OF
course, matching. Now, entirely con-
ceal the remainder Of the yoke lining
with tiny overlapping frills Of the silk.
These will be about an inch wide and
stop short at the lace V in tho front,
| the outer one meeting and overlapping
the folds on the top Of the bodice (the
lace cuts thru these folds). AS fin
ish, twist black ribbon velvet around
the outer edge of the neck empiece-
ment, bringing it down as. an outline
to the V, knotting the ends together
there. I suppose you wish short
sleeves, leg-of-mutton brought in at
elbow with knife pleated frills Of the
goods and the silk arranged upward
and downward, forming fussy-looking
cuffs will be tied to the arm with black
velvet. If you desire long sleeves, sim
ply add long cuffs of the lace matching
the collar. This will be a smart,
Frenchy-looking frock and absolutely
becoming.
In regard to your second question,
you do not mention the material, SO I
fancy it is some sort Of soft white fab
rio. I am afraid the tight sleeves will
look patchy and quite out of keeping
with the model. Why not hold the
wings down to the arms as far as the
elbow, by tying them at intervals with
gold gauze ribbon and let long gloves
do the rest9 Tie them 50 that puff
comes at the top, because If you are
very tall and slender, these puffs will
give you the necessary breadth. Below

A Spring Gown.

Dear Miss Lee-Could you help me
select dress for spring costume, col
or, design, etc.s am very tall, 5
feet s inches, brown hair, dark blue
eyes, rather slender.-Bess Blame,
Graceville, MINI.
You would find a pretty soft grey
becoming, and ladies' or chiffon broad
cloth suggests itself as desirable fab
rio. You can wear the Princesse styles
well, if you like them, otherwise have
a circular skirt with the pleats in slot
effect down the front, fitting the hips
smoothly and closing under pleats in
the back. Folds, graduating in size,
from one to three and one-haR inches
wide, covering the hem, to the last one
just below the knees measuring about
an inch wide, will be the trimming,
and be made of the material. Skirts
show very little trimming, the reason
because they have SO much fullness
around the bottom, fancy.
A pretty, graceful-looking bodice is
laid in two deep side pleats on the
shoulders, but not stitched, then cut
out round for wear with a small guimpe,
the edge being finished by fiat band
covered with three little overlapping
knife pleated frills Of gray taffeta end
ing at the first pleat on the left of cor
sage with three tiny brown velvet bows
caught with small steel buckles. To the
plain front Of the waist apply motif
of ecru lace, very heavy, in spray of
flowers design, coming from bow
knot of ribbon from about the waist
line a little to the left side. The
crushed belt will be Of taffeta closed
with the bows of golden brown velvet
The guimpe is of finest lingerie or, if a
lace yoke is preferred, then substitute
an applique of grey satin or chiffon
flowers for the ecru lace motif. Have
leg-o f-mutton sleeves brought in at the
elbow with cuffs entirely of ruf1es

ters. OF course, now, you wish to ap-
pear glrlish, and sometimes, perhaps,
fancy your well-developed figure pre-
cludes this. Your dark hair and gray
green eyes are an unusual combina-
tion, being very seldom seen. Evident
ly you are of the type of the creamy
brunette, and will look well in cream,
ivory, lemon, very pale pinks, rose,
coral and salmon turquoise, but not
pale blue, red, crimson, gray, silver,
golden brown and golden tans, but no
fawns. You should use green sparing-
ly on account Of your lack of color
1t is fatal to a sallow complexion. Deep
blue should become you and so should
old rose. Black should be relieved
near the face with white, cream or a
color. >.> e..
In regard to models, I should adopt
the most simple styles carried out in
long lines. For instance, the skirt in
| four pieces, the front and back AT.
| ranged as double inverted box pleat
the circular parts over the hips being
smooth fitting. This model will pre-
serve your height, give plenty of full
ness about the feet, yet not add ar
atom to your hip measurement, a:
might a pleated skirt. Princesse styles
too, should be becoming, the gown de
| pending from yoke in contrasting
color, laid in small inverted box pleat
to fit the figure closely to- below TIT
line of the hips, then falling straigh
and full to the feet. Shoulder strap
Of the material in suspender fashion
will still further aid the effect O
height, and thus suggest slenderness
IF your face is long, your frocks shoul'
be cut square in The neck for wea
with chemisettes, round face shout
sdopt the V or heart-shape. Sleeve
may be matter of taste, puffs t
elbow ending in ruffles being perhap
the more girlish looking. AS to coats
your height will allow of your .wearin
the half and three-quarter length; a
the same time, you will find the shor
bolero styles becoming, especially i
you are long-waisted. Length Is sue
gested by producing long lines from tn
waist downwards. For instance,
short woman with a short waist wi
look taller than woman who is tn
same height but possessing a lon
waist, 80 that the short boleros an
the Empire modes are particularly goo
for short figures of correct propo
tions. Dressing the hair is of much in
portance. If your neck is fairly loni
dress it quite low, drawing back ]
soft pompadour, helping out with Ri
