 While the society attends to life and liability insurance just like any other business corporation in the country, it is not unmindful of the opportunities, the responsibilities and the duties that of Slocaks in this country or abroad.

 In three years, from 1906 to 1909, end ing March 31, the society paid over s3OO, 900 in sick benefits and nearly $1,- coo 900 in death claims.
 The Slovaks and Ruthenians of Hun gary have numbers of benevolent, re- ligious and literary organizations of all kinds in this country, but none has attained such splendid proportions within the past 15 years and none ex- ercises such powerful influences over it's members and through them over the large and constantly growing Slo- yak population in this country as the National Slavonic Society.
 An interesting feature of the rules of the society is the requirement that every member must become citizen within six years after his membership is granted.
 The society has been conservatively governed. Its officers hope to have 50,0G0 men within it's ranks before the end of another year. They will be

Thus, it will be seen, the society acts in many roles, besides paying sick and death benefits-as a friend of the sick brother, the guardian of bereaved families, peacemalxer between quarrel ing brothers, arbitrator of strikes, and educator of the ambitious Slovak youth, a defender of the brave patriots who fight for their rights in the old country, a conservator. of the native language, a promoter of American cit

Coral jeweiry shows no sign of losing
its popularity. and if a girl has an old
fashioned brooch a pair of long-ago
pendant earrings she is considered spe-
cially fortunate.
For one thing coral is quite unpreten-
tious. which makes it practical for per-
sonal ornaments, and then the pretty
shades of pink harmonize so we'll with
the fashionable black satin stocks that
are worn now by many women. Broo hes.

coral are always in good taste.

witching little sacque the Easter bride
will slip when Interrupted at her Toilet by

The very smartest tea coats are of all

insertions joined by entire deux of French

der of point d'esprit lace, to which. in
turn, is attached a frill of the same lace.
The coat slopes in rounded, cutaway ef-
feet, from the high girdle to knee depth
at the back, and the girde, which is
really a band of ribbon passed under lace
insertion. slopes upward to two ribbon
rosettes high at the back.
The tea coat is never made Of silk. or.
rather, if silk is used as a founda ton
material, it is so honeycombed with lace
that the effect is that Of a lace coat.
Under this transparent coat is little

fashioned and the coat itself is usually

Rubber corsets are also shown for the
promotion of slenderness. Rubber gar

is the wide oriental silk which is usually
sold in the art needlework, or even the
curtain departments of the stores. The
deep colorings. of these silks and the
bold, conventional and flower patterns
are just barbarc enough to give the loose
liimono richly oriental and JapaneSey
effect. A kimono OF such silk should be
made most simply. with straight breadths
shirred closely at the shoulder seams and
across. the back and unshaped sleeves
made of straight widths of the silk
sewed at one edge into the slit opening
left at the top of the side seams. Such
kimono may be bound along the front
edges and around the neck with plain
colored silk ribbon to matchjthe prom

Very dainty kimonos made in this way
can be fashioned of japanese crepe or

Plain coored crepe kimonos may be made
