OF 1900 a year.
Princess George OF Greece. who was
Princess Marie Bonaparte, has astCnished
the people OF Greece by going in for classic
gowns. Her Salome costumes are very
scant as to dry goods, but elaborate enough
as to Jewels.
II is said that a blind woman Of New
YORK has invented a broom holder that Is
really useful. Any woman knows how
grateful a broom holder, that would ac-
tuslly mold the broom instead of allowing
II to turn itself off it's hook and lose itself
under a stand or chair at the most crucial
moment, would be. 1t is too much to
hope for.
Mrs. Lars Anderson OF 81. Louis has
some very beautiful lamps that she has
gathered from all parts of Italy, where she
spent several years. She has some that
were used by Etruscan women, and found
in their tombs. Quite a number of eastern
women are making a fad OF collecting
quaint and beautiful lamps OF past fash
Ions.
Miss Kate Gilmour, stewardess OF the
Sardinia, which was destroyed by fire a

Pierre Sardou, son of the famous play
wright, is responsible for making a royal

architect by profession, he planned her
chateau at Andrecy. and while thus en-

things royal. Mrs. Marsh was a Miss
Hershey of Chicago, later the divorced
wife of Clarence Eddy, the organist, and
recently married John A. Marsh. The
wealth of these American royalists is
likely to be of immense service to the

Mrs. Morrison delights her friends by

in establishing their home in the midst
of the savages. She tells Of their primitive
surroundings and scanty comforts. As a

now hor wonderful memor recalls them
as wildly as though they occurred a few
days ago. She tells of the little old school
house, the first one erected in that dis
trict, of rough logs, the c~revices plastered
with homemade mortar, consisting prin-
cipally of clay; the rude school furni-
ture OF slab stools, benches and desks,
and the immense fireplace which burned
whole logs at a time. Her father grew

The Psyche knot is the distinctive fea-

Green is a dominant color both in the
emerald and dull shades and for millinery

An interesting. piece of millinery news is

much In vogue for Riviera wear.

Apropos of pongee, all varieties Of this
popular silk bid fair to continue their pop
ularity and most exquisite shadings are be-
ing brought out in tussore, rajah and kin
dred weaves. Braided or embroidered In
self tone, these materials will be made up
into delightful one-piece frocks, three-piece

also for smart, severe, tailored coats and

morning the neat patent leather, with tan
tops and pearl buttons, has the preference.
There is considerable art in wearing the
modish hats. The rule is that they must be
set at such an angle that the eyebrows
cannot be seen, except by looking under
the brim, but the hair must be so dressed
that II stands out well beyond the inner
edge OF the brim. Hair dressed close TO the
head does not suit present fashions. Many
women bring the hair to the too Of the
head In order to keep a firm hold OF the
hat to be pinned to it and TO have the
hair really fashionable it must assume a
large, loose wave.

s~uffrngette Rhetoric.

The English suffragist movement has its
rhetoricians as well as its militant cam
paigners. Listen to Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson
as she responds to one who has become es-
tranged from the suffragist movement be-
cause it has offended her taste" Says
Mrs. Cobden-Senderson: "A force it Is like
unto that which in the bowels Of the vol
cano explodes and covers with ruin, again
and again, the worlds built upon the ashes
of its past. 1t builds and unbullds, touches
with beauty. and sweeps with destruction;
1.-THE visceratrix of the universe. In
presence Of such a force in action questions
of taste are in allegiance. Woman has awak-
ened, and from the depths of her being
demands and will have, not either SYM
pathy, admiration or a "a message"-but
the fact, Emancipation! a part in the
worlds history to be played on the sum-
mits side by side with. and not below, or
in subordination to, man."

Active woman of Ninety-Four.

One OF the most remarkable women in
western Pennsylvania is Mrs. Mary
McKnown Morrison of Canonsburg, who,
at the age of ninety-four years, is stlll
hale and in full possession of all her
facilities and is as active as many women
twenty-five years her junior.
Her trim. erect figure and kindly. ami
mated face are often seen in the streets Of
Canonsburg, and her manner and genial
personality make her a prime favorite
with young and old in her large circle Of
friends.
Mrs. Morrison is the oldest living mem
Der OF an Did, prominent and wealthy
family, which in its time played an import
ant part in the settlement and development
Of this part of Pennsylvania Her fore
fathers belonged TO that adventurous,
hardy band Of early settlers, who pene-
trated to the very forefront OF the wilder
ness and by desperate bravery and sheer
determination wrested II from the hands
Of the savages, turned the forests into
fertile fields and surplanted the wigwam
and the Indian council hail with the white
mans homestead and school house.
Mrs. Morrison was born December l6,
1914. in South Fayette township, Allegheny
county, and lived there until she was
about twenty years old, when her family
moved to a farm between Bridgeville and
Woodville. on the Washington pike. She
was married April II, 1851. to Benjamin p.
McKnown. The results OF this union were
one son, five, grandchildren and nine great
grandchildren.
Mrs. Morrison's grandparents came tc
this country from Wales and settled al
Toms Run, Allegheny county. during the
struggle between the whites and redskins
for supremacy.
They were in the very heart OF the
fighting and frequently had 10 fly foi

For a parasol of grayish rose, let us say,
the stork handle will show the natural
wood Of the stick carried up into the birds
legs, but blending into the gray greens of
wings and tail. These gray greens meet
into rose shades on the breast and under
the neck, but reassert themselves again
along the back of the neck and in the
head, while the natural wood tone crops
out again in the beak.
Parrots and other birds are HANDLED In the
same way, but the stork handle seems up to
now distinctly the best OF its class.
Some beautiful covers In figured silks
woven expressly for parasol purposes show
flights Of birds or butterflies in charming
color harmonies; but in silk parasols, as
has been said before, the one tone covers
seem particularly good. These are some
times relieved by bold soutache embroidery
in self color. as illustrated In one Of the
models pictured here, but often are per-
fectly plain or finished merely by a narrow
frill OF the silk.
An odd effect is given in some cases by
cutting the cover In a circle instead OF
curving up the sections between the ribs.
This leaves a soft fullness between the ribs
which breaks the hard line Of the parasol

shall 1 say yes to an excited. nervous
patients proposal of marriage, then later
explain that 1 did not mean 1t except to
soothe him at the time, or shall 1 refuse
the proposal and perhaps have a death on
my soul?'
This is the query put to the leaders Of
the movement by which 11,OO0 young peo-
pie Of Cleveland are attempting for two
weeks to live as Jesus would. A trained
nurse, Miss Bessie Charles, asks the
question, saying she has been trying to
live as Jesus would. Rev. w. b. Wallace,
pastor of the East End Baptist church, who
outlined the rules of conduct for the move
ment, refused to be responsible in such an
event as the trained nurse sketched.
II would leave it to my common sense
were 1 a NURSE he said. II would not
attempt to advise"
Miss Charles letter reads: "A trained
nurse has an excitable, nervous patient,
who must be kept quiet at all cost. This
patient falls in love with his nurse and
wishes to marry HEREAFTER he is we'll.
Shall she say yes to quiet him and tell
a lie by so doing, or shall she say no, and
let the patient become excited and I'M
strung, which might possibly result in his
DEATH?
(which is worse-a lie or the death of a
patient on your soul?
IF she says yes, it would quiet him, and
after he is we'll and stronger she could
reason with him and convince him of the
fact that she was only trying to soothe his
shattered nerves.
This nurse is trying TO live as Jesus
would. Now, what would you do? What
do you think Jesus would do ?'-Cleyeland

parasols for the benefit Of
those lucky folk who escape
- the end OF the northern winter
kE&@#1 and the dismal beginning Of the
- northern spring; but, incl
dentally, they are encouraging the stay at
homes. There's something distinctly en-
livening about going forth and buying a
gay sunshade in February. 1t emphasizes
the calendars promise that days of sun
shiny outdoor living are on the way, and
even the sight OF a window full of parasols
gives one an uplift
The designs shown now are of course
only the advance guard; but they indicate
what the manufacturers a been doing
and what we may expect later on, and
while so far there is little that is absolutely
new there are plenty of charming varia-
lions on old themes.
The Oriental idea is not confined entirely
to the shape, and though some of these
sunshades are covered merely with flow
cred silks more or less Oriental in design,
the handsomer models are hand embroid-
cred in design strictly japanese or Chinese.
A sketch is printed here OF an effective
parasol of this type-covered in a soft dull
blue silk of creepy texture and bordered
by a narrow fringe OF the same blue.
As a border, between the ribs are exquis-
itely embroidered japanese figures in gay
costumes and above these little figures are
conventionalized flower designs, dwindling
to mere tendrils as they approach the fer
rule.
One OF these Darasols in dull rose has
a jInTiksha design with the geisha passen-
ger and boy runner. all embroidered in
minute and delightful fashion, but these
more elaborate parasols are, of course,
expensive. A plain cover with one large
spray Of chrysanthemums or cherry
blossoms embroidered on the side is
effective, and there are some delightful
things in natural color pongee with great
coiling dragons or flights OF birds or flower
designs embroidered on them in self color
or contrasting tones.
Among the parasols IN the old familiar
shapes one finds coloIs and designs to
suit all tastes, with perhaps a preponder-
ance Of rose and violet shades-these
two names being used perforce to express
a whole range of colorings which are
neither rose nor violet. but subtle COM
pounds Of the two.
Some Of the very smartest looking para
soils are covered in plain one-tone SILK,
rich, lustrous and of some exquisite mod
ism shade. and have handles carrying out
the same color. The makers have
achieved distinct success with smooth
wood sticks as subtle in colorlng as the
silks used for coloring. and often by way
of handle one sees only a swelling knob
of this wood lightly shaded in the one
color. or perhaps the knob may be OF
enamel or OF some semi-precious stone
echoing the color of the stick.
The rib tips, too. viii be in the same
color Pink quartz is effectively used
for many handsome handles and jade or
imitation jade is also pressed into serv-
ice, but the enamels are often quite as
successful as the stones.
