 Why" are we not all honest? Surely, never was lere truer saying than Honesty Is the best policy"
 l happened to be dining one evening at a hotel with d party of four. One why she acquired that habit l never found out because she could easily af- ford to buy the things she from time to time slipped into her shopping bag.

Because they are curious, and, perhaps, jealous enough to wonder how you can find things they cannot and so they go about finding out.
 Once there was a woman who was honest-this is no fairy tale, by the way She dealt squarely with the world and was prosy, as most blunt truth tellers are.
 There came Into her life a man. who. upon failing to win her regard, set about irving to win her good namel She was not liked so what as her surprise to find that people believed in her and dis credited his reports!
 This is one case where she lived to receive the reward of her honesty.

 The other form of an Easter lunch con permits of much Individuality and ingenuity. The more bizarre and un- usual the decorations. the greater the success.
 However, one would hardly advise such striving after noyelty as marked where the hostess created veritable sensation--scarcely pleasurable v by having for the centre of the table . chicken yard within a fence of twined smilax. In huge nest in tho centre was live hen, surrounded by many eggs. from which young downy peeps broke at frequent intervals during the cloth.
 Simulated nests of moss and twigs. on which the presiding genius ts one of the numerous quaint rabbits or hens so dear to children, are particu- larly good as a central table orn9- ment for such luncheon.
 These nests may be filled with the small toy ducklings. peeps and bun nies of the amusing nodding head va- riety, or else they may be heaped with quantities of gayly. colored eggs of all sizes. These can later be distributed among the guests as souvenirs.

 An Easter luncheon may either be treated in the true Easteri spirit. with dignity of decoration as the keynote, or it may be given the humorous tone of the childhood ideas of bunny and Eas- ter egg.
 Nothing is better adapted to the first scheme than the cool purity of a white luncheon, relieved by touch of green.
 Lilies alone may be used rising stiff and tall from a large central plate of ferns. But even more attractive is a slender vase of lilies in the centre, with low spreading basket at every corner. each filled with different white flower of sprtng-tulips, lilacs, daisies and lilies-of-the-valley intertwined with the delicate asparagus vine.
 The candle shades also should be white with festoons of feathery asparagus on the outside.

 Fortuna,dy. Easter flowers are no longer luxries for the rich alone: few cents will purchase potted tulip or buy a lily or daffodil; while a quarter of-a dollar will secure us many golden jon- quils, a few stately lilies or cluster of fragrant pansies.
 The Easter flower Is largely taking the place of card or booklet as a re- membrance of the season. Even quite young children now exchange the spring flowers daintily sent forth in paper and ribbon-bedeeked pots. instead of the ume-honored egg.

Making the Easter Luncheon Attractive

XX THAT SC, 50 ssaaste attractive as an Eas- w may be the long fasting of
 Lent that lends it added charm, and comes to 1t with unJaded appetite for enjoyment; but the sea son itself. with the bright sunshine and balmy air to give general zest of life, has undoubtedly much to do with the peculiar delight of an Easter fes- tivity, be 1t luncheon, dinner or dance.
 If women's luncheons are a distinct ly American form of entertainment, the other women of the world are to be commiserated, especially if they have never been lucky enough to at- tend one in the spring season.
 The winter luncheon must depend largely on gorgeous appointments to make it a striking success, Not so one at Eastertide; then simplicity and daintiness should rule. True, this sim plicity may be costly. but the secret of an artistic Easter luncheon is to have both decorations and menu voice the spirit of the season.
 Fortunately. this is easy to achieve even when the hostess must be her own caterer and decorator. The How

A PRETTY WAY TO

 Instead of the ice. violets-big double ones-were set closely all around, form ing a flower frame to the ice, which was a delicious vanllIa. on top of which were dropped two or three candied violets.

 There are -period" hats and hats conspicuously modern, and hats which are comfortably neither, in which both old and new ideas are hopelessIy Jumbled together.

 Scotch bonnets and fascinating tam- o'-shanter crowned hats are trimmed with Scotch plaids in true peacock blues and greens; and a striking hat, conservative as to shape, is a vivid orange, made more vivid by the bands and trimmings and bandeau covering of black.
 And these two hats arc enough to show the trend to colors and gay col ors. at that.

~HE princess skirt has brought
 in it's train probably score or
 other skirts, each of them a
 result of the effort to get the good points without the little trying quality which goes with the princess
 Most of these other skirts are cut on at the waist, the princess idea carried out in the girdle--like the which all Paris waxes enthusiastic.
 Girdles which are deep and high in front and draped down Into rather a narrow line in back are upon an French dressmaker evolves. but they are serious affairs for any but dress artist to attempt. Anything but ahso- Iute perfection in the matter is likely
 Occasionally (while it is anything but girdle. the effect of the long line is got) silk blouse is worn with a cloth skirt that matches 1t exactly. foundation and made to come down in long point over the skirt--a direct reversal of tho princess idea, yet bearing a curious resemblance to the because misapplied--style
 Probably the most satisfactory version for small. girlish figure is a skirt which has the back breadths cut to run up as high as the usual gird.e; as high, skirts do. Only the back breadths do this however. and to them is gathered wide silk bands (either black or shade that matches the cloth exactly), cut on the bias, to admit of softer folds.
 These bands are unattached to the skirt, except at the back, and are hemmed neatly all around, and fasten in front in any one of several ways perhaps tying in a quaint little bow, more probably gathered in a heading and boned, the sides hooking together quite simply. Or, perhaps, the ends pass through one of the new flat belt buckles: as likely, they are pulled close ly together, and are crossed, the ends held firm 5y long, fiat clasp pin.
 Separate girdles of silk or cloth are made practically the same height all around, and match the skirt.
 Aside from these two rules, there Is plenty of latitude of style. Rosettes- little ones, of the sunfiower variety finish one, four of them set at intervals down the front. Or buttons and tiny buckles-often both of them-are used, and where the girdle is of cloth braid ing is often feature of the trimming.
 Plenty of narrow belts and shallow girdles are worn with never a sign of re- semblance to the princess skirt. but for those women who want to wear 1t, vet ind 1t unbecoming, the fact that these substitutes have been developed means a great deal.
