the great metal throated bells Of the
city had pealed out their last golden
moan and sibilant throbbing, the
echoes yet whispering Through the
trees, as gentle zephyrs famed them
to and fro, two men were seen leaving
their back yards, with parcels under
their arms, making their way to
Jones'. woods, casting sly glances at
the belated pedestrians, and chunking
at a skulking dog that was following
them. What followed, will remain a
mystery, with that of the hitting of
the famous Billy Patterson. But the
settlers do say from the licks and
Hopping and voices of excited revelry,
they thought old Julius and Gilbal
had returned to the haunts Of old, and
we're rolling long-bullets, or that old
Hendric Hudson, with his merry crew
were playing farewell game of ten
pins.

A Song at Easter.

With bloom and flower and wonder
The shining hosts Of Spring
Come back to kiss the world anew,
And bid it thrill and sing,
And once again with fragrant hands
Their perfect beauty bring.
The worlds green resurrection,
Her triumph over pain,
The flashing blades Of grass thai
cleave
The earth where SHOWS have lain
These are the signs that tell oul
hearts
That love has risen gain.
O glad, unsullied hosts Of Spring,
O mornings brave and white.
O days Of April, rejoice
In your reviving light;
When We are with me, how remote
Is vanquished Winters night!

MILLINERY IS NOW AN ART.
The Women Who Design Costly Hats
Are Graduates of Special
Schools.

The best milliners nowadays
those who can mark their hats at
twenty-five dollars or more-are the
graduates of the millinery schools as
well as being practical milliners Of
long experience. Not that theoretl-
cal training is to be over-emphasized;
and inborn talent and years Of prac-
tise are essential to the topmost round
Of the ladder; but the training Of the
best schools gives one a certain know
ledge of form and color that can no
more be mastered by following undi-
rected instinct than can an artist ever
become a great painter without ex-
pert knowledge Of the laws of mixing
colors. A born miliner accomplish
es much intuitively, but the fiDal
mastery of the art must be gained by
genuine study.
The actual sewing and trimming Of
hats is only part Of the course CIV
en- At the Domestic Arts schools where
millinery is taught. A certain amount
of artistic ability is expected Of ev-
cry student; she will receive instruc-
tion in the sketching Of hat designs,
for this knowledge will be Of use 10
ner when she enters the business.
Milliners often wish to go to public
exhibitions and sketch the. novel mod
els presented there, that they may
carry away new ideas to their own
work, and while it is moi necessary
that pupil be able to actually draw
pictures, she should nevertheless be
somewhat deft with her pencil.
The meaning Of such terms as
"tint," " "shade' and "tone' are to
be learned. Much instruction is Civ
en- in the subject of color, for it is
one of the two vital factors IL the
making of successful hat; form be-
ing the other.-The April De~ignec.

Barge prizes for mathematics and
taking a first-grade Berkely pre-
MUM Of a book fund for excellence
in Latin composition. But Robert
Taft is not a ''grind," the college
term Of a bookworm for he manages
to combine a lot of work with lot
of fun and get pretty good time out
Of both.
He is a tall, muscular young fellow
Of nineteen, with straight brown hair,
a rather large mouth and wide apart
gray eyes, and gives promise of be-
ing a well-set-up man in the future.
He takes an interested part in all
the college sports, but has never spe-
cialized< on any particular form Of
athletics. He is a tennis enthusiast,
and rides we'll.
The third child of the Tafts, Chas.
Taft, aged ten, is the most democratic
member of the family. Quentin
Roosevelt has a worthy successor IN
Charlie Taft, and he can rely on him
to preserve all the traditions for fun
and mischief for which the former
is famous. The two boys were school
mates at the Force public school in
! Washington, and members Of the
same baseball nine while there.
Helen Taft Has Travelled Far.
For one Of her age Helen Taft is a
very travelled young woman. She has
made four trips across the Pacific
and circled the globe once, accom-
panying her parents on their famous
trip around the world. She speaks
French and Spanish, as we'll as the
native lingo Of the Philippines. The
preSident's s daughter is as old-fasll-
ioned a girl in some ways as she is
up-to-date in others. She has been
taught not only to "sit on cushion
and sew fine seam," but to cut and
make her own dresses; she can even
| trim a hat at a pinch, and also knows
how to cook and manage a house.
Mrs Taft has always been insistent OIL
her daughter having domestic as
we'll as a social and mental equip
ment for life. The Tafts are not rich
people bv anv means, and the new
president 5 wife believes that the do
mestic arts are as much part of a
Young girls education as g know

THREE TAFT CHILDREN.
They Represent the Best Intellectual
and Physical Ty:;es e Young
America.

The new children IN tie white
house are as interesting a group as
any who have preceded them, and as
the family Of the president their nam
es will soon be known and spoken in
every fireSide circle in the land. Each
of the three newcomers has distinct
ly positive personality, personalities
that are going to "tell,' says Helen
Corinne Hambidge in the New Idea
Woman's Magazine.
To the people at large Helen Taft,
the eighteen-year-oh daughter of the
house, is, perhaps, the most interest,"
ing of the three children of the new
president, for the American girl holds
the center Of the stage always by a
right divine. Miss Helen IS an ex-
cellent type of the young woman OF
today, for besides her youth and mag
nifcent health she has nerve and men-
tai force, and that battling, spiritual
something which looks out Of the
clear eyes. She is unusually tall, be-
ing in height five feet eight inches.
