THE TOUCH OF SILVER

While it is not always advisable to
put plain silver or gold at the neck, as
metal is often too trying for the skin,
a touch of silver on the corsage or just
above the girdle gives a good effect on
a cloth or satin gown.
The silver gauZe is more used for this
than the net, although the latter serves
we'll against certain materials.
You can buy this now by the piece or
in bands or as ribbon. so that it is not
difficult to get or expensive to use in
small quantities.
Often the touch is put in the shape of
two small folds at the top of an empire
girdle. and this suggestion is good
one for the woman who is making over
a gown where there is not quite enough
material for waist and skirt to meet
Often the touch is used just across
the point of a V-shaped yoke in 'front.'
and back, and again it is bow mixed
in with colored tulle.
1t is always wise to veil the silver
gauze or ribbon with tulle when 1t is
made into a bow. This holds true when
it is used as folds at the top of the
stock. The silver net need not be Velled
because of its own suppleness when
it is used in small quantities. but 1t
is prettier under lace or tulle when
used for a long vote than when 1t is
uncovered.
There is now a new fashion for put
ting tight sleeves of silver net in cloth
and satin gowns. This is a relief from
net and is not as startling as it sounds.

THE oLDEN DAYS
he olden days. the olden days.

The olden days, the olden days.
How grandames rub them in!
When all was worthiest of praise
And free from modern din;
When maids with modest eyes half shut
And bushes meek and rosy
Were primed with no ambition but
The gathering of posy.
Theirs were the gowns of muslin white
Which purest thoughts impel;
They wore the same both day and night,
Because they laundered we'll
Adorned with ribbons pink and blue
Were all their flimsy dresses,
These chosen just according to
The color of their tresses.
Down garden paths with arms entwined
They paced, and as they walked
In accents soft and common mind
OF Hemans' poesy talked;
And oft upon the gravel trim
There lay a dove or pigeon,
Which. picking up with optics dim,
They hearsed with due religion,
IIowe'er a gallant old time buck
Could ask such maids to we'd
However he could find the pluck,
can't get through my head.
Each howled upon her mother breast
Whene'er approached by Cupid.
Our up to date girls are the best
Those bygone ones seem stupid.

DON'T BE MoTHER-IN-HAsrE

If you are "mother-in- haste" you
can expect to have nervous, irritable
children. for a child feels his environ
ment keenly; and where there is I'M
rest and lack of poise in the home,
it gets into the child's disposition and
then reacts on your own.
Therefore, My Lady, take time to be
quiet and deliberate in your actions
and do not always be busy when the
boy wants you to pass Judgment on
the snow-m man he is building, even
though it necessitates your putting on
your golf cape to go and inspect it..
Or when he wants his reins mended or
button sewed on his uniform, do it
willingly.

that you are never too much in haste
to lay down what you are doing, If
he, restless and fretful, wants little

MOBILE DROPS ONE
BIRMINGHAM ATHLETIC CLUB WINS
 BASKET BALL GAME.
The Gulf City Quintette Seemed Slow in C0mpa risOn to the Athletic Club Boys, But StiIl the
 Score Was Close.

Birmingham, Feb. 24.-(speciaL)- The Mobile Y. NJ. c. A. basket ball team went down to defeat before the Birmingham Athletic Club tonight by a score of 27-1S. It was the first de- feat suffered by the Gulf City quin- tette from a Southern team this sea- son.
 Mobile presented e team. which in weight, overshadowed the local aggre- gation but in speed and team work the Athletic Club boys showed that they excelled.
 The visitors seemed slow and badly bruised up from a hard game the night before.
 The largest crowd that has witnessed a game of basket ball this season gath cred to see the game. The fact that Birmingham was the only team which stood a chance of tying with the Mo- bile team for the championship brought many people to the game. It was not generally known here that Nashville had forfeited the game to Mobile whi0h was scheduled to be played tomorrow and the crowd came out under the inn pression that Mobile. if defeated. would have to win one of the remaining games to win the championship.
 While the locals won from Mobile tonight, the score was comparatively close. In Mobile. Birmingham was beaten more than twenty points. while the locals had only margin of nine at the termination of the game.
