Bird Fans Now the Rage ;. Par,

Bird Fans Now the Rage "A Paris.
Parisians owe their latest and most
original fancy in fans to the gallantry
of a well-known dramatist. One of his
friends, Countess -, famous sports
woman and capital shot, sent him a
pheasant of unusually beautiful col
oring. This prize bird the playwright,
who is also something of an artist,
took to chic fanmaker whose be-
jewelled creations of gauze and pre-
cious lace complete the court attire
of many a royal princess. Under his
workmen's skillful hands the countess
gorgeous trophy was fashioned into
unique fan which, when shut, look.
like a pheasant in repose and when
opened like a pheasant In full flight.
sides. while the central part is made
of the body and tail. The pheasants
exquisitely shaded head is used as a
handle.
After 1t was finished the dramatist
sent ii to the huntress. When she ex-
hibited 1t to her friends, they were so
delighted with it that they declared
they would carry bird fans and no 9TH
ers this season. SO now the most re-
cherche balls and evening receptions
show a bewilderinS array of birds of
paradise and peacOcks with spread
feathers Haunting their gaudy plumage
against a background of light colored
decollete gowns.

BY some household duties. She ras just
leaving the Rectory to join the others
when the postman arrived with a parcel
of letters and packages, one of which was
enthusiastically book addressed to Bride
in Bertram Charters writing. Never in
all her life had Moyra been SO tempted
as she was then. She would have given
a fortune to keep the book from Bride,
and she went to the church feeling very
miserable and depressed, with nervous
anxiety gnawing at her heart The work
of decorating was in full swing when she
reached the church, and. after exchang-
ing greetings with each merry group,
Moyra joined Angus and Bride at the
altar rails Bride looked up with a very
happy smile; Angus glance was more OBJ
servant.
you look very tired and worried" he
said. in an undertone, as Bride went off
to compare progress with some other
workers. why did you come? You
should have rested. You think that looks
pretty?'
''Yes-very," she replied. with a sigh
that had nothing to do with the subject.
II shall not allow you to do a thing"
he said decisiyely. I'm going to put
these .kneelers'-isn't that their name?-
together, and you are to sit down and
watch others working just for once"
But l should like to make the coffee

of taking the baby in their arms, per-
ssuade them to let him stay on the bed
and play with him there.
The child is so much more comfort
able braced with some pillows, the 1T
tie feet left full to kick, than when he
is being held tight in arms. He does
not quickly become tired in this way,
and when fatigue does come it is
muscular, healthy one and not that of
the nerves, caused somewhat by the
nervous condition of the one who has
been holding him.
All conversation before baby, even
when playing with him, should be
quiet, and there should be no noises,
for small children are very susceptible
to loud sounds, and the start of some
at the sudden banging of door Or an
unexpected noise is pathetic, because of
the nervous condition it indicates, says
Mrs. Hood, in the New York Evening
Telegram When a baby shows by this
that it is of nervous disposition the
mother should make every effort to
keep it quiet, and by that l mean to
keep excitement from it. The effort
should be to soothe, that the infant
may not develop a highly-strung child.

In BEING Photographed.

'sThere is a tremendous amount or
ignorance on the subject of colors
Very frequently a woman wears gown
Of q certain color, yellow, for instance,
expecting it to take light when it takes
dark, and is consequently disappointed
in the result s. IS a photographer In
the New York Sun. white is always
effective and takes beautifully, espe-
cially for dark background effects. But
light blue, pink or cream are preferable
even to white, for the reason that while
they take light there is more detail
and more character in the picture.
IF possible, soft, clinging effects are
to be preferred to any material that
presents stiff appearance, and starchy
effects should be tabooed entirely.
Nowadays nearly every photograph
er has on hand lengths of soft, clinging
material for drapery purposes when his
subjects present themselves with some
absolutely impossible frocks and VIXEN

The woman worker.

Women, instead of saying. "A man

rather some work that he should not De

employment from ill-suited ha2ds-for
we have to face the shame that the
making of gowns, the trimming OF
dainty hats and other pre-eminently
feminine work is too frequently per-
formed by members of the other sex,
and this while their sisters become
gardeners, motor-drivers. and what not.
That a woman is a conscientious
worker is everywhere admitted, but her
great fault is that she rarely aims at,
and consequently seldom reaches, per-
lection.
Generally, she has in the background
the thought that her work is but tenn

Cats and Dogs Often Suffer from
Coughs and Colds.
The inclement weather is responsible
for no end of trouble among the cats
and dogs Of New York, according to a
man who runs cat and dog hospital,
and I've ought to know, says the New
York Sun. His patients, of course, are
of the pamnered upper classes of cat
and-dog-dom, but there is doubtless
more or less indisposition among the
great unwashed, and when you stop to
think about it, maybe you will remem-

and yowls at midnight on the back

The cat had jumped out of a third

setting all cat traditions, she did not
land on her feet, but on her tender
nose. She was being tenderly cared
for and the nurse said that when the
stitches were taken out her lip would
be as good as new.

The most gladstone sight of the
morning was that of the discharge of
pretty little spaniel as well dog

he was received by his tiny mistress.

delighted at Bibi's recovery, while Bib

The party settled down, the colversa-

the big house. The Beresfords were all
loud in their expression of regret, but
Aileen was particularly indignant when
she heard that the newcomers were in
trade. She detained yehemently on the
way in which society was being turned
upside down by these pretentious up
starts The whole gear was out of order.
For her part, she would recognize no
such mushroom growths. She hoped Moy-
ra would set her face against receiving
them
Robertson could not understand why
her remarks should cause so much mer-
riment, until Moyra explained that it
was sudden change of front on Aliens
part, she having held extremely advanced
and socialistic views even so late as the
long vacation, the greater part of which
she had spent with her greatest friend
in a woman's settlement. Terry sbrieked
with laughter as he listened to her de-
nunciations
This is good - ne exclaimed "Moyra,
you need no longer fear being confronted
by long-haired, unwashed apostle of
freedom as brother-in-law. Please,

There was aspause. Aliens face had
