Fashions for the Little Ones

Spring days and consideration of

Children's millinery this year is very
picturesque, the granny bonnets as
quaint and becoming as can be. For
girls entering their teens there are

consisted of a plated cloth skirt, white
null blouse, and a most attractive
girdle wrap. The deep girdle was
almost a coat in itself, and really be-
came one by the addition of an upper
shoulder part which was more than
shoulder straps and yet not a bolero.
The dainty wrap was adorned with
rows of friils of narrow black ribbon,
and looked quite dressy. For the or
binary summer day such a dress would
be just right for comfort, the upper
part being adjustable, easily slipped
on or OFF.
Black silk gloves, of course, have
gone up in price now that the heavy

few days ago we found the price had
been trebled. Let us hope the mits
will not follow suit; we want to keep
the elbow sleeves, but do not care to
spend all cur substance ON hand
shuhe."
With the tailored street dress there
is nothing in better style than a
simple sailor hat trimmed with pom
padour ribbon. The high crowned
sailors are preferred, although many
smart low-cro wned ones are seen. The
peacock feather craze has been carried
pretty far, but of late better taste has
had its way, and in place of the yard
long, assertive tail, we see shorter
feathers used. On a gray sailor three
green peacock eyes that stood out just
a little from the bow at the side, really
made a decorative effect that was very
pleasing. -~--~
Each spring we wonder If materials
ever were SO soft and light and pretty,
but surely the spring parade this year
is unusually elegant. The dark cos,

materials. Not only in auto and car
riage are they seen, but they fill the
streets. And we must chronicle The
liking for red-a color usually cOnsid-
cred too warm looking for warm days.
Alfred hats are affected-but if truth
be told as o rule they are most unbe-

blonde-haired woman of our acquaint-

what a mistake she had made. She
looked sallow, faded, and usually she
appears as fresh as a peach.
Not a little gold and silver are seen,
used for trimmings in both dress and
millinery. A little CLEAN here and
there often adds to the costume. but
too much is tawdry.
Many checked materials are en-
ployed with good results. The new
suspender frocks are very pretty in
these check suitings, the blouse al

WOMAN AS "DoG MISTRESS"
One of the Queerest Of All Professions
Now Being Adopted by
the Sex.

All vocations are so crowded nova
days that many qulck-witted young
women are making or trying to make
new professions, and are in many in
stances adopting methods Of earning
living which most people would at
once term strange. One Of the most
curious is that OF the dog mistress
A young woman we'll educated but
without means, and very fond Of ami
mails, saw an opening for her ener-
gies which she at once seized. She
noticed that great many well-to-do
people had dogs, mainly pets, and that
these animals were often intrusted to
an unsympathetic footman to be taken
for a daily stroll. The poor dogs were
net very happy, for they were usually
kept on the lead and they were in
fear Of the man. That was the rule;
some dogs were treated quite differ
emily and had royal time, but it was
easy to see, in those instances, that
the men were lovers Of animals. The
girl in question determined to call on
various women and offer to take the
animals for daily exercise.

Taking Every Precaution.

On rising in the morning be careful
to stop in bed; when taking breakfast
be sure to keep your mouth closed;
when the desire to go to business at
tacks you fight it off and stay at home;
when lunching at a restaurant be
careful not to eat anything, and If
you must take holiday spend 1t liter

don't do anything-eat, drink or

ALL THEIR DAYS ON STILTS
Peculiar Existence Led by Residents
of the Turpentine District
of France.

People live on 16-foot stills in the
remarkable turpentine-gro ccun-
try of France. They don these stills
after breakfast and do not remove
them again until it is time for bed.
There are two reasons for the
wearing of stills in the turpentine
country. One is the .turpentine gath
ering. The other is the herding OF
the great flocks.
The turpentine comes from the
maritime pine. This tree is tapped,
a single is inserted and from the
single is hung a tiny bucket, into
which the turpentine drips. The tap
ping process is like't that used on the
American sugar maple.
Young pine trees are tapped low,
but with each years passage the Incl
sion is made higher so that it is not
long before most of the trees are
tapped 20 or 80 feet from the ground.
Hence the huge stills of the work
men. On these stills they traverse
the fiat country, covering five or six
yards with each stride, and quickly
and easily they collect the turpentine
that overiows the little buckets
hanging high up in the trees.
1t is for herding also that the stills
are useful. The country is very fat,
and the herdsman, unless he contin-
ually climbed a tree, would be unable
to keep all the members Of his huge
flock in sight. But, striding about
on his stills, he commands a wide
prospect. He is always, as it were,
upon hill.
The silt wearers carry 15-foot
staff with a round, fiat top like a
dinner plate. When it is lunch time
or when they are tired they plant
upright under them the STAFF and sit
down on it's round, fiat top. Then in
comfort, seated so dizzily high, they
eat and rest. and chatter--a strange
sight to behold.

fascinating Remnant Counter.


Why is it that some women, often
just the ones who pride themselves
on their economy, cannot resist the
temptation to buy odds and ends and
remnants for no other reason in the
world than because they are cheap?
OF course, dainty bits Of lace and odd
lengths of passementerie look simply
irresistible on the counter, but they
are also simply irresistible when it
comes to doing anything with them.
1t takes a decidedly clever woman to
use up such pieces to advantage, and
unless she is quite sure of her pow
ers as a maker of trifes out of
scraps she had better look the other
way when she passes the remnant
counter.-Exchange.

Why Indian Is Beardless.

The American Indian is not abso-
lutely beardless. The growth is small,
and because of this smallness they
pluck it out. Boards differ very much
among different nations. Climate
food, ETC., have much to do with it,
In hot and dry countries. such as
Arabia, Ethiopia, East India, Spain
and Italy, the beard is generally dark,
dry, hard and thin. Persons of mild
disposition, well nourished, have
light-colored, thick and slightly curl
ing beard. The eunuchs Of Turkey,
who have been such from childhood,
have no beard. 1t is generally con-
sidered a sign Of development.

They are simple people in Kach-

gave, by request, a cake of soap to
one Of their chiefs. In the evening

place where a small stream crossed
it, the civil officers suddenly came

he was born, with soap suds scattered
all around him, and the chief forth
