FadS and Fashions
for Fair Readers

all the way up on the outside of the
arm.
The Flower pot" crown of a hun
bred years ago bids fair to be a ia
vorite millinery shape.
High ruchings are going out and in
their place are seen crush ribbon and
satin folds.
Weasel skin shows signs of a con-
siderable popularity before the fur sea-
son shall be over.
Pretty chains for muff or coin purse
may be made of plated ribbon to
match the suit.
Linens have improved vastly in color
since their reign began several seasons
ago. and are now frequently found in
shades as deep and strong as those OF
silks and woods.
Many of the white and light tinted
suits have collars and cuffs of black
MORE or satin.
Some of the new skirts have five,
seven or nine cores, with panels set In
the side seams.
Linens are either very heavy, almost
like Russian crash, or they are very
thin and fine.
Fabrics for spring are softer and
glossier than ever before, but are
somewhat firmer of texture.
Green has been heralded as the mo-
dish color for spring, but the very lat
est report says brown.
The manufacturers evidently believe
that the puppies are to have another
season of strenuous vogue.
Velvet pekins are once more receiv-
ing attention, the stripes alternating
with the velvet.
silk fiber laces are much worn in
long sleeve underbodices with recep-
ton gowns particularly.
Coats and skirts are being soutached
with fine silk braid of the same color
and lined to match.
For all occasions gloves are matched
to the costume or selected from pale
shades of flesh, biscuit and tan, besides
the natural tones of suede.
To be quite-chic, the frills down the
front of tailored skirt must be of a
different width; the left frill is an inch
or two wider than the right one.
If Paris can have it's way the whole
tendency in millinery this year will be
toward quaint effects.
Some of the new tweed coats fol
spring have the sleeve blocked in q
perfectly plain, quite masculine way.
A new suit Just turned out is double
box pleated all around, with the plaits
stitched fiat to the knees.
White violets are to be more popular
than the Russian and Parma variety
which have held undisputed sway
Bias bands of white pique are sold In
the proper size to sew around the collar
and down the sides of the coat.
Ribbons still have strong hold upor
the couture, and are wound in and out
with the hair when it is being done up
One of the new French toques is
termed the Marie Antoinette. It Is
made of soft straw or shirred liberty
satin.
New materials undoubtedly point to-
ward a continuance of the directoire
style, though there is reason to believe
that it will be greatly modified
The tips of satin shoes are embroid-
cred with jet beads, pearls or gold and
silver thread; the heels are high and
the buckle is jeweled.
At the millinery shops the trimmings
of the moment are ostrich tips in mixed
shades-mauve and old blue, black and
mauve. and green and navy blue.

might we'll have been displayed
Il yesterday by the Friday Morning
club. as the auditorium was again
crowded to the doors by members and
their friends who came to listen to the
reading of "The Votes of Women" a
play written for the Interpreter, Marion
Craig Wentworth.
"Votes of Women is a play in three
acts. poorly constructed for stage pre-
sentation. but yirile and dramatic and
with many opportunities for the IN
terpretator.
The central thought is one that
makes direct appeal to the average
audience, dealing not only with ques-
lions that are agitating the entire CIV
ilized world, such as women's right 10
the franchise, prison reform ana the
lettering of conditions for the laborer,
but also touching upon questions OF
sex relation and answering with an
emphatic mo" the world-old query,
shall an unwedded woman accept
marriage as reparation from the father
OF her child?"
A motif heard again and again
throughout the play is the love of the
leading character, a, wealthy society
girl. for q politician, a leader of his
party, and a man of the world. ThI
character was drawn in strong lines
and gave Mrs. Wentworth her best
| opportunity, her voice being less nap
| piIy adapted to the requirements of the
masculine roles.
The author Elizabeth Robbins, is an
| American woman who has lived Iof
years in England and her conception OF
| the suffragette was convincing, espe-
cially in the scene of the rally" or
whatever is the name in England for
a gathering where the suffragettes adj
dress workinglnen.

"Well, you see, the men who owr
the street railroad lines are in it for the
money they can make and they cal
make more by making the people
stand"
"Oh, then all of us who stand, do il
for the benefit of others. Isn't that b
beautiful altruistic spirit? 1 don't be-

equal that"
The Leading Citizen Laughed. I'm
afraid l have not made it clear" he
said. "The altruistic spirit figures only
in so far as the street railroad lines
are owned by widows and orphans
Even then, there is considerable COM
plant from those who have to stand
day after day."
How did these men you speak OF
acquire the ownershop of the railroad
lines?" inquired the Man From Mars.
in most cases they were presented
to them by the representatives of the
people"
ooh, indeed Then it appears to me
they should be grateful enough to run
them so that the people would be glad
of their representatives action"

place for gratitude"
well, then, for another reason. II
the owners are themselves beneftine

be careful lest the people dispossess
them"
"Sh-h-h," cautioned the Leading Citi-
zen looking around furtively. do not
talk that way. That would be con-
flscation, which is even worse thar
anarchy"
II find great difficulty in understand

Mars impotently. do you mean to say
that the people cannot take back the
lines when it means so much to their
welfare?- Pray tell me, is that a parl
of your religious code?"

hinges on a decision of court handed
down long ago in the famous Dart

been decided differently we might have

A GOOD TIME

I've had a good time.
Life came with rosy checks and tender song
Across the morning fields to play with me.
All, OH how glad we were, and romped along
And laughed and kissed each other by the
sea.
I've had a good time
Love came and met me half way down the
road
Love went away, but there remained with
me
A little dream to help me bear my load,
A something more to watch for by the sea.
I've had good time.
.............A good, good time.
Nobody knows how good a time but me.
With nights and days of revel and of rhyme,
And tears and love and longing by the sea.
--Mounce Byrd in Harpers Magazine.

LAUGHTER

Worry stalked along the road,
Trouble sneaking after.
Then Black Care, and Grief, and Goad-
Enemies to Laughter.
But old Laughter with a shout
Rose up and attacked EN-,
Put the sorry pack to rout.
Walloped 'em, and whacked 'em.
Laughter frivols day and night,
Sometimes he's a bubble.
But he hath deal OF might
In bout with Trouble.
