 A V nous play. and it would seem that we are following this precept with great enthusiasm. The shops are crowded, and there is much anxiety be- ing evinced to secure the latest models at the earliest moment. the various ] heads of the departments declaring joyously that they are driven to death. Everybody wants everything at once, and the ready made costume is being sold like hot cakes, and small wonder at the latter state of affairs, for surely never were ready made clothes better finished and tailored and more care fully and intelligently selected to meet the demands of the trade. Every sort md condition of dress may indeed be 6tted almost while you wait-that is. If the alteration is a slight one. Skirts which need but their back seam sewed up to complete them, coats which are absolutely ready to be put on. made in various sizes, to fit the stout and the slim, are to be found in every good shop. It is certainly a dress millennium, and it is doubtful whether under any conditions we shall ever sur pass the color schemes of the season. The absence of any aggressive hue is now fully appreciated, and it is in the combinations and contrasts that the artistic sense shows forth most con- spicuouSly. On the beautiful Japanese and Chinese embroideries vast deal of the success rests. The gray silk voile illustrated embraces in its chic makeup many of the leading dress features-for instance, the filet yoke and large button ornaments. And the dotted net gown with it's lines of black velvet is equally stunning.
 As to the Bandeau.
 Fewer white hats than usual will be worn. at least that is now the outlook, while black hats will be more the vogue than last season. Many browns In all sorts of shades, blues, greens and neutral tints will be much seen but the color of the costume or some color in it should be repeated in some measure in the chapeau.
 Some of the Parisian hats have nc bandeaus. Some women cannot wear baEdeaus. or at least not until they have been bent so as to at least par tially remove them, and these may among these new models find hats that will fit their heads. The great majority of women. however. find the bandeau indispensable to the proper placing of the hat. Those who do not may have the hats they like copied and have the bandeaus omitted. It is a matter of taste.

0 myself wondering today which
 is the greater misfortune, to ~ be born with an imagination or without one. Ordinarily one de- spises people devoid of the one faculty which makes life interesting. Never theless there are moments when the consciousness of a too vivid imagina- tion makes one envy those in whom it has never been developed, for if the pleasures of the imagination are great its sorrows are certainly acute. It pleases some of us nightly to have a great contempt for the historic type to whom a yellow primrose. but I'll spare you the rest of the quotation. Serious ly. though. when one takes into con- sideration how much unnecessary suf- fering a lively imagination can cause and how much valuable nervous energy it can exhaust, one wonders, on the whole, whether it is not a much over rated quality. Surely nothing units one more for the battle of life than this same faculty. To succeed at all one should be absolutely incapable of sec ing anything except in the cold. gray light of fact and reason or of knowing anybody in any other shape than that of flesh and blood, with a fixed resi- dence and a settled income.
 In taking a mental review of ones friends it seems to me that the ones who get on are not those who roam at twilight in a dream world of their own making. but those who leave cards regularly at the homes of their most in fuential friends. Not the people who. rrf~ Tn.. H. E.E dens. but those who fish for invitations to the right house parties. The world may be full of fairies and witches. of beautiful princes and giants and dwarfs. but we call them by other names. such as debutantes. milliOnaires. parvenus. eligibles and detrimentais No. most of us are very practical now adays and consider life too short to waste a single moment of it on the cultivation of anything that will not materially assist in the general ad- vancement. Without imagination there is no originality. no romance. no inspi- ration. no enthusiasm. and there are some of us who would be willing to suffer a few thrills and endure a few bangs Co enjoy flights of fancy. To be sure without this great gift one can never be anything but commonplace. and commOnplaCeness is undoubtedly the most distinguishing feature of life today.

Don't Hoard Them.

When an economical woman is clever in the way of dress you will certainly hear her praised first of all for her skill in buying exactly the right thing. and. secondly. for her genius in turning every hoarded scrap to account. She must be clever. too. in another direc- tiOn-she must be brave enough to throw away everything she can possi- bly, spare. And q word of advice to the woman who has the genius of boarding: Do not go on saving the same things for years. Use them di- reciIy they come back into fashion. or rather a little before if possible. and you need not have the trouble of ran- sacking shops for not yet arrived trifies which are already reposing in your boxes at home. Remember the words of a clever Frenchwoman. Nothing is new but what has been forgotten co The great thing is to remember before other people do.

have one of these simple little jackets. comfortable enough 10 wear on a warm day, hanging up in her cupboard ready to get into whenever she goes abroad. A word more about this useful little garment. The summer girl is making up tiny coats along the line of the one described in pale colored silks to wear over her dainty thin frocks. To be
 particularly modish the nat, slippers and ceinture match the tone of the
 jacket. And. by the way, color schemes embracing the smallest details of the attire are the things for which every
 smartly dressed woman will strive this
 season. Having selected these i'm
 portant accessories of the costume, they must be put on in chic fashion if they are to have any real meaning in the composition of the sartorial picture. In this respect the Frenchwoman ex- cells. She puts on her gown quickly enough, but it takes her hours 70 adjust the small belongings, the finishings of the dress.
 For the Summer Girl.
 The summer girl, if she so pleases,
 may wear with her pretty cotton voiles
 and dimities a wide sailor hat covered
 with old time English chintz, which
 model is the dernier cri here in Paris and which is only to be found in the
 shops that appeal to the most expen-
 sive tastes. This decidedly quaint
 chapeau is trimmed with a scarf of the chintz tied in large bow at one side Parasols to correspond are to be found en suite. with the hats making a most fascinating ensemble of old world charm.
 There is no reason on earth why a girl clever with her fingers should not be her own milliner and make for her. self one of these fanciful pieces of
 headgear. I would suggest in such an event that the chintz be glued on the
 frame. This is bit of professional ad-
 vice l have absorbed and pass on to

For instance, have a cedar wood box, rather long and flat and very handy 10 put into small quarters. In it there is a drawer for laces, or rather two drawers. One locks, and in it the real lace lies properly laid away with reverence and care, and in the other are all the less valued pieces.

rALLssr sPIRE BUILT BY AIR.

Towering Church stespie.

st. Louis-The highest spire In St
Louis is being raised by the highest
derrick in the world on st. Liborius'
Roman Catholic church, at North Mar
ket and Hogan streets. Its pinnacle
will soar 246 feet above the ground.
The derrick, which has lifted its 800
tons of stone into place, goes 27O feet
into space.
The architect and builder OF this
modern monolith says IT is the first
grillwork spire in America. the entire
steeple being constructed of stone lat
tice. giving free play to the heavy
winds. The architectural beauty Is
impressive.
Engineering applications in the con-
struction of the spire are novel IL not
entirely new, says Joseph Conrad,
1920 Thomas street, who designed and
built the steeple.
Every piece of stone used in the
steeple has been cut at the base OF
the tower by compressed air and
hoisted by this agency to the several
stagings of the work
Pneumatic tubing is carried up the
derrick to the successive stages.
Stones weighing so pounds have been
shot through these tubes to the work
men above and held in place by the
force of the air until removed from
the tubes.
The spire is now within three feet
Of its pinnacle. Space for only three
workmen remains. Two days more
there will be room for only two work
men. When the last stone is placed
severa, steeylejacks will be employed
In crowning the spire with its steel
cap, II feet high
The derrick that has pushed the
spire upward has grown like Jacks
beanstalk from it's original height of
120 feet to 270 feet by splicing the
poles used in its construction. The
pole derrick has, therefore, grown $50
feet in three months, the time IL has
required to complete the spire.

tain the BaItimoreans.

Baltimore, Md.-The Schnepf. d.
vorce case-Caroline N. Schnepfe,
aged IS, for divorce, attracted large
crowds in circuit court No. .. where
1t was tried before Judge Gorter.
The testimony of Mrs. Schnepfe's
daughter Caroline contained some
rather remarkable statements. She
declared that Mr.. Schnepfe was un-
bearably stingy toward her mother,
who said, shortly after the marriage,
that she was rich mans poor wife.
She said that at the table Mr..
Schnepfe would cut off the fat and
other Objectionable portions of his
meat and put it on her mothers plate
for her to eat. She said Mr.. Schnepfe
promised everything until he married
her mother, and then his conduct
and treatment of her was just the op-
posite Of the promises.
The case is somewhat of a curiosity
as to the marriage relations of those
involved. Mr.. Schnepfe married Mrs.
Schnepfe's sister and lived with her
40 years, until her death, and has
grown sons. Mrs. Schnepfe, his pres
ent wife, is therefore his sister-in-law,
and he is her husband and brother-in-
law. Caroline and Emma, Mrs. Schnep-
fe's daughters by her former marriage,
are his stepdaughters and his nieces,
and he is their uncle and stepfather.
Similar relationship exists, of course,
between Mr.. Schnepfe's sons and Mrs.
