Edwin Markham, Americas poet laureate
with Mrs. Markham, was visitor in Palisade,
April 49, guests of the Bailey Millards. There
were few others at an informal gathering in
the afternoon, at which Mr.. Markham read
his famous poem on Lincoln, one of his best
ham inte' prets his own poems with rare inter-
est, and throws around them a force that
makes Them doubly valuable. There isn't any
doubt IN the minds of many but that Mr..
Markham is the foremost living writer of
verse, and it is impossible to be in his pres
ence moment without feeling the inspiration
OF his genius. His genius fairly bubbles in his
conversation, making it radiant with poetic
lnongnf and apt expression. In running talk
with z PALIsADIAN representative Mr.. Mark
nam disclosed much of his scholarly talents,

which have been set to music by Harriet Ware
of New York. whom he regards as the most
brilliant and promising composer in America

Married Men Against the Single Men

There will be another game of base
ball on Decoration Day. the Married

done last year. 1t will be remembered
that the youngsters administered
crushing defeat to the benedicts in 1907,
but the tables may be turned this time.
Since their other defeat, which was i'm

Concerning Head Wear.


Big black hats promise to be ex-
tremely popular.
Gold and silver gauze ribbons can be
worn on lace garden hats.
Chrysanthemums, tulips. and dahlias
will be popular In hat trimming.
All the new approved French models
of hats are worn quite straight on the
head.
Porcelain blue is a popular spring
shade for hats, stockings, millinery, and
even for gloves
Some of the early hats are charming
In their combination of cheerfulness
and warmth. A smart little three cor
nered arrangement in cream colored
cloth with a knot of brown velvet at
one side holds in place a bunch of
snowdrops, violets, and high osprey
of shaded hyacinth and jonquil.
Pretty blossoms in the many and va
ried shades of salmon pink or rose,
lemon yellow, white, or deeper amber
form lovely trimmings to tulle. lace
or nlousseline de sole hats for restau-
rant or theatre wear. The twigs are
hidden beneath the splendor of floral
beauty, while a tiny bunch of pale
green leaflets here and there stands
out from the mass OF delicate color.

Attractive blouses for children Of
eight years are made of heavy linen
on the same pattern as the present
smock. fastened on the left shoulder
by five pearl buttons. They slip over
the head and are easy to wash, while
the simplicity of the band around the
neck and down the side needs no or
nament OF lace or insertion. They are
also very easy to make. because there
is no tucking to be done, as they are
merely gathered around the neck and
cut in slightly under the arms to
make them have some semblance of
fitting. On the whole, they are a
great Improvement on the old -fash-
toned sailor suits and are far more
satisfactory because they have no re-
vers or no embroidery in the front or
on the sleeve. Besides that the regu-
lation sailor suits were never quite
appropriate for little girls. and these
notifications are decidedly the most
attractive things that they can wear,
and are therefore not likely to go out
OF style in very near future.

White Linen Frocks.

White embroidered linen frocks for
Very young girls are always beauti-
full and always appropriate. but the
average woman regards them as out
side her means. A very good plan Is
to buy an embroidered centrepiece, not
of the heavy white linen variety. but
the kind known as Japanese emboid-
cry, covered with a design including
baskets or bouquets of flowers.
Having acquired this, some material
must be purchased to match. as nearly
as possible the foundation Of the cen
trepiece, and a few yards of Valen-
ciennes insertion 'or French beading.
The front of the waist and skirt may
then be eat from the centrepiece.
choosing, as near as possible, a COM
plete portion of the design, and these
may be set into the material with a
band of insertion or beading. What
ever is left of the centrepiece may be
used to trim the sleeves. which are
finished with the insertion or beading,
and a very handsome, hand -embroid-
cred gown Is made at little cost and
almost no trouble.
The material used on each side of the
design may be finely tucked and the
model for the dress may be empire or
plain, to suit the taste of the mother.
It is better. though, to arrange for a
break in the waistline, for the two de-
signs will be detached in any case. A
pretty belt to wear with this frock is
q boned girdle of Dresden ribbon or of
the softest ivory radium silk.

Lace and Insertion.

ThsSis the time of year when needle
women are busy making lingerie waists
for the summer, and any suggestion
as to the arranging of lace and inser-
ton should be very welcome
In making bow knots or flowers OF
insertion for medallions 1t is necessary
to have each the same shape and the
same size. This Is very easily done by
placing the first one made on a piece
of brown paper and cutting out the
pattern of the outline. After that the
others may be made by sewing the
lace to the paper, and. after tacking 1t
together, ripping the paper away. This
will, insure each medallion being iden-
tical and will save much time for the
home dressmaker.
The same idea may be carried out
in making combinations of lace and
embroidery, for without the greatest
care nothing Is SO easy as to make one
side of the waist totally different from
the other. Lls{A II

Mclcomc suggcstion,.

Every mother of small girl well
comes a new suggestion for clothing.
OF course, 1t is a pleasure when dainty
garments can be made at home. and
loving fingers are always ready for
little frocks that show off to best adj
vantage. but for everyday wear 1t is
sometimes hard to find dresses that are
at the same time useful and becoming.
One little girl seen the other day
was dressed for school in dark blue
percale or galatea two-piece suit The
outer part was made in one piece, the
sleeves cut with the body and Square
place cut for the head to slip through.
This was worn with a white guimpe
that could be changed when little ell
bows had rubbed too often against
desk or blackboard. The other and
most sensible part of this costume was
pair of full boomers. made of the
same material and entirely concealed
by the skirt of the little dress Ar
rayed in this she was ready for all oc-
casicns, playing "goosie" in the school
playground or sliding down the neigh
bor's CELLAR door. for there were no
buttons to be pulled off nor ruffles to
be torn.

Three-auurter sleeves.

AS all OF the coats for the coming
