Foliage colorings abound.
Enormous black cherries are used on
some of the hats.
Coats for girls suits are plain and
almost straight.
The latest Partisan novelty is the
hand-tucked waist.
Some of the standing collars are
hemstitched around the top.
Belts will match the skirts instead
of the waists this season.
Most of the new crepe blouses are
inset with Irish crochet lace.
Pretty little neck bows are made of
colored open work embroidery.
The new hats, almost without excep-
ton, show exaggerated crowns.
Swiss embroidery, whether hand done
or machine, gives excellent effects.
Some of the colored linens for suits
have a pin stripe of white through
them.
Sleeves are longer and fiatter and
they closely follow the lines of the
arm.
Hair ornaments are large. the new
est barrettes being from two to three
inches wide.
charming finish to the waist is the
tie known as the directoire. made of
crochet lace.
Dainty hand-painted lace blouses are
being worn with the dressy tailored

wise garish gown.
Overdresses of one sort or another
are seen everywhere on the more elab-
crate gowns.
Frilled frocks-not as frilly as of
old, but more fluffy charming-have
been seen on which little ruffles of lace
and gauZe trim both skirt and bodice.
Some effective cloth gowns, simple
enough for walking costumes, yet smart
enough for paying calls, are being
made in close. but not tight-dtrlng
robes.

MendinE Stockings.

The feet of new stockings sometimes
shrink SO that they are too small for
the wearer. They may be remodeled
in this way: Cut out the heels, open
the leg SO that from the toe to the
end of the opening is the desired length
of foot. Make or cut from some other
pair the heels and as much of the
foot as is needed TO lengthen out the
first pair and insert in the opening.
BE sure TO cut The heel and portion of
the foot deep enough so that the stock
ing will not be too small across the
nstep. This is much better than put
ting in entirely new feet, as there will
be no seams near the toes. and the feet
usually shrink only in length.

Whit About Short sleeves

They seem 10 be creeping up again,
and may possibly reappear unblush-
ingly when the warm days come, after
having been pronounced completely out
of fashion. They are certainly con-
venient for summer wear, and all the
active exercises girls engage in out of
doors. They also have the further
advantage of keeping clean, as long
sleeves never can. The lOng-sleeved
blouse has TO go to the cleaner twice
as often as the short. But the latter
should be worn with discretion. When
arms are thin and red it is just as
well to afford them a friendly veil by

five per cent per annum is to be paid TO
the shareholders. As the lives lapse nom
inators lose all interest in the affair. and
the rental is divided amongst those share

consequently, those fortunate enough TO

income increasing annually. The last

before Maude can realize that they are all

Grenvile sends his hat into the air. Even
as he does so, he feels that Maude leans

and catch his cousin in his arms. She

carriage, and sends one OF tine innumer-
able lads that infest a race course in hot

Beauty TIN.

The carriage of the figure is even
more important than the lines Of the
figure itself. A beautiful figure poorly
carried shows none of its beauty, while
poor figure well carried with grace
and dignity gives a distinction which
is in itself beautiful. To acquire a
good carriage it is necessary to study
the required pose carefully in the mir
ror, TO then remember to take that pose
whenever rising from a chair, and to
hold it steadfastly, says Harper's Ba-
Ear. 1t requires a constant watchful-
ness which makes one self-conscious at
first. but in time becomes a habit

HAS MORE LAND THAN WATER
Scientist Explains In What Manneri
the Planet Mars Differs from
the Earth.

Mountainless Mars has inspired the
pen of Prof. Percival Lowell, who de-
clares that a Marian landscape
would seem to us remarkably tame,
and that the scenery would be chiefly
notable for the lack of everything that
with us goes to make it up. That
which relates Mars to the earth in
mi sense is the distribution Of land
and sea; but while our earth has
more sea than land, Mars. on the con-
trary, shows more land than sea.
Originally possessing its own share
of water, the fluid constituents have
been SO far absorbed, and this fact
indicates another point freely con
coded, that is, Mars has proceeded
further inwards In that pathway OF
planetary evolution, which. beginning
in a nebulous mass, ends in a dead
moon.
Cooling down to a certain extent,
our earth was fitted To become the
abode Of life. Prot. Lowell decides
