THE MAGAZINE CHILD.

The Magazine Child is catching 1t, says writer in the Boston Transcript An anonymous writer in the Contri- butors Club has risen to wipe the M. c. from off the face of bored and disgruntled planet. Strength to his arm! Success to his most laudable capaignl For a sadly unnatural brat is the Magazine Child. He has to be. Children are bright and fascinating and amazing only by now and thens; pack their clever sayings and glorious doings tight enough together for pur- poses of sustained interest-in other words, for purposes of fiction-and you're no longer true to life. The zines aren't children, they're monsters.
 An yet, once in while and for a space sufficient to thrill the literary heart, child will actually cut capers rightly fit for fiction When this hap pens, the fiction writers ignore it. Were I a fiction writer, l should ignore the recent behavior of small Robert, actat II, my erstwhile guest.
 It seemed to us worth while to in- troduce Robert to charming little neighbor named Ethel. When we preached the matter though, he ex- pressed a profound reluctance, argu- ing a deepseated repugnance to girls in general. Then he softened bit, and asked, "Is she a tomboy?' We saw the proper course, and assured him that she was. This facilitated the meeting, but I wish you might have seen the blusiles when the twain struck hands. We sent them out to play with the ducks and afterward Ethel stayed to dinner, the to sitting side by side and conversing after the manner of the best society, boosting the talk with such question as What is your favor ite meat?" And when Ethel had gone, Robert said to me, q think I like girls better than boys. A boy always tries to get you to do what he wants to do, but girl asks what you want to do and goes in for that" We could see that Robert had been impressed.
 Next morning at breakfast he asked me if liked Ethel I said I adored her. Thus fortified, he exclaimed, "say now does a fellow propose?"
 A charming romance, was it not? By no means material for fiction, how ever. For a good magazine story based upon these sweetly idyllic incidents. you would want the brightest doings and sayings of at least a dozen other children and then you would want leisure and audacity to cram the whole mass of material into a four thousand word story. When you'd done with it, the innocent pair would bear mighty little resemblance to their ingenious selves, and silly public would go wild with joy.

Ladies Flock in Great Numbers to Ad-
 mire the Stylish and Artistic Hats,
 Flowers, Feathers and Other Things
 Pleasing to the Ladies
 It would be hard for one to find more pleasing or attractive display of millinery goods than that shown at the Muhlfelder store yesterday. This popular establishment was radiant with the touch of spring fancies every where. The show made of trimmed and untrimmed hats was very large and consisted of some of the latest Pari- sian and London styies for 8the coming. season. The display of flowers is one of rare beauty and the ostrich goods shown were rich in their exclusiveness. A bewildering wreath of ribbons in all the varied hues and shades stands out with prominence, and the ornaments, laces and other materials are exquisite and artistic. While winter cavorted around outside yesterday, spring, eternal spring" held full sway inside, and the ladies fiocked in great num- bers to dote on the lovely and up-to- date headgear shown.
 The rea1y-to wear hats are plentiful as one strolls through, and finally the tones, so apropos of springtide. One sees that the poke hat is unquestion- aby the reigning favorite. This is an absolutely new mode, and is capable of many delightful qualifications, so that mila1y cannot fall to find one that is becoming.
 One hat Is styled the Belle of May Fair" dainty white creation of lace and miniature roses. It is in the poke effect, two rosette sof pale blue rib bon on either side, with the dainty wreath continued on back of hair.
 Another of the patterns is of the new blue shade, termed the "Copenhagen blue;" horsehair hat of that shade, and two very elegant plumes shaded into the brim. This hat is fiat and very artistically turned to the face,
 Another lovely creation is of the Empire shade, black horsehair com bined with white chip straw, one hand some long maise-colored plume, and here and there a black velvet daisy with yellow center half hidden under feather appears. This is one of the handsomest hats on vieW and must be seen to be appreciated.
 A large black hat attracting much attention is one on the Gainsborough style, but r%ed into the new short front and long dropping back effect, made of point lace applique, one large satin loop rosette on side and very large plume dropping on hair This is one of The French importations, de- signed by Georgette.
 There are many other beautiful inn portations, from Vero, Georgette, Car tier, BarauIt. Marescot, creators of fashion in Paris. There are, as usual, many more of Muhlfelder's own, modi- fled so the most fastidious can be pleased.
 Childrens hats in great number, also ready-to-wear hats. The predominant colors are in the Copenhagen blues, browns maise, many blacks, with white ever gaining in popularity. Green is also a favorite Roses, plumes and wild field flowers intermingled are leaders in trimming. Roses and large daisies are very welcome, and are made in every size.

SUIT OF INTEREST.

Damage suit for $500 was filed yes terday by Attorney Philip Pond, for l.. N Ceffarelli, to collect pay for work done and damages for delay caused by John Laudino.
 The story is one of interest to all business men. Last April Ceffarelli, who is a mason contractor, secured the contract to erect building for Antonio Pope of Hill street, on property ad- joining that of Laudino. As the struc- ture was to be built up to the line no7 tice to protect the foundation was sent to Iaudino, who took no notice of the communication. The excavations were made, but Judge Bennett, on com plaint of Laudino, through Attorney Prentice w. Chase, granted an injunc- tion A hearing was held and the in junction dissolved, and Laudino order ed by the court to protect his foun- dation walls.
 However. he took no notice of the decision of the judge. J. Austin, build ing inspector, then served notice upon Laudino, but still he failed to protect his building, which was in danger of falling into the excavations which Cef- farelh made. Fearing this MT, Austin told the other contractor to protect the other mans building from falling and advised him to continue his own work.
 Ceffarelli did so and rebuilt part of the underpinning of the neighbor, Lau- dino's building. Still Laudino refused to do anything toward reimbursing the contractor. The latter has now insti- tuted suit and the case Is returnable on the first Tuesday in April.
