Fancy MuHs.

Fancy muffs will be fad of the
season. and in them there is a chance
for employing all the cleverness in
design and needlework that a woman
possesses. In a muff brocade and
feathers may be most charmingly
combined, and neekpiece to match
may be evolved. Black velvet with
black ostrich tips can be worked to-
sether with astonishingly artistic re-
suits, while artificial flowers, either
as substitute or in combination, are
lovely.

The Maternal Instinct,

A little girl sat in a corner of a rail
way carriage, apparently lost in
thought and with slsht frown on
her pretty face. Opposite was her
mother, who wondered what Molly
was thinking of. and whether she was
regretting the joys OF padding and
castle building at the seaside.
At last the mother spoke:
We'll, Molly, what is it? Are you
sorry to be going home?"
Il shall be glad to see my dollies

already quite a little mother-Home

TWO GIRLS AND TWO HATS.
Fruitless Efforts TO Kiss and Big
Crowd Applauds.

SrOWd AppIauOS.
For several minutes this morning
two pretty girls sidestepped, oscil-
! lated, crouched down, tiptoed,
clutched, broke away and collided
in futile effort to kiss each other
past their Merry Widow hats.
Whereupon formal announcement
might be made that the Internation-
al Society for the Suppression of Os-
culation will award it's 1908 anti
germ prize to the designer of the
newest brand of woman's headgear
1t was just 9:3S a. m when a
dashing young maiden in shoe-top
skirt and a sailor hat three feet
across the brim, tripped merrily
down to the union passenger station
where she stood tapping a diminu-
tive foot impatiently as she waited
for the incoming Santa Fe flyer,
says the Galveston Tribune.
1t was just one minute after the
brakes on the express had been set
and the monster locomotive halted
gracefully within a pace of the sit
ting room, when the expected guest,
another pretty girl with an even
bigger hat, came running up from
the rear sleeper to meet her
They spied each other 90, you
darling" cried one, and why, I
haven't seen you in an age"
screamed the other, and both said.
Il simply must kiss you" At this
point they clinched for an embrace.
That kiss never landed.
For a while two pretty pairs of
pursed up lips were still far apart,
the brims of the two Merry Widow
hats meeting and refusing to give
an inch. Both girls backed off with
little smiles of annoyance.
The the first one raised her head
so that the brim tilted up in front
at an angle of 45 degrees above
mean low tide and the other girl
stepped forward to kiss her under
it. But this time the brim of the
other girls hat met the first on the
end of the nose and the crowd
already vastly amused-recorded a
second failure.
Both young women were now
blushing furiously.

ed it out. and finally, both heads up
tilted, they went at each other for
the third and last attempt.
But it did no good. The broad
brims crashed in midair and no
amount of crouching in or twisting
about parts of them would permit
them to bring their willing lips to-
gether
BY this time the train was back

of the spectators the maidens quiet
