THE SERVANT PROBLEM.

You, madam, think yourself held
and bound, hampered with many
cares, troubled about many things.
But your home throughout is free
to you-you are supreme within its
four walls, and mistress of yourself
and your days. Think what it would
be to rise UP early to face days
drudgery, and lie down late, con-
scious that tomorrow and all tomor
rows would mean the same Fancy
yourself at home only in the kitchen
or the uninviting bedroom, shut away
almost wholly from human conrad
cry. Would your temper always be
sweet, your inclination obliging?
Would you smile when your afternoon
out was denied. or take it kindly il
the mistress was to have company
luncheon upon washday? And you
are yourself with, presumably, q
gentlewoman's, sense of justice and
self-control. Put yourself as nearly
as you can in the place OF some lone
creature, ignorant. low-bred, develop
ed only along the lower human plane,
then judge what a servants grief
and grievances may be. The first
and most intolerable is that she can
be nothing but a servant You say,
perhaps. she should be grateful for
food, shelter and wages. But ask
yourself how long she would get
either if your need of her suddenly
ceased? The answer, if candid one.
will put an end to the claim for
gratitude. You know you would not
keep her a day, no matter how de-
sperate her need of you.-New Haven
Register.

it must be of a shade with the feath-
ers in the hat. Hatpins have never
been as extraordinary in design as
at present. The big hat today, with
it's masses of flowers or feathers, has
resulted in the BETTING hatpin, which
gives its aid in building up still fur
ther the gigantic millinery display.
Such pin can be fashioned of an
enormous rose, poppy or carnation.
or birds head. Such head is used
as a parrots. seagulls or magpiess.
Fruit, made of velvet, is also a pref
ty fancy. Only the larger fruits are
used. such as peaches and plums.
Watermelons and pineapples have not
yet appeared in this form of head
adornment, but they may make their
appearance am day. China hat

The hat for festal occasions is of
white satin, with its low round crown
draped in white rabbit skin, which
is good imitation of fox.
Soft messaline petticoats for cling

Transparent materials, such as
chiffon. mousseline and lace, made up
over natalie tissues, are good deal
used for choice evening gowns.
Yokes of cream colored chintz,
bearing the marking of old-fashioned
designs, have been noticed on several
modish gowns.
The most beautiful of the evening
shades are found in inexpensive ma

many of the costly ones.
The one feature that almost all the
new coats have in common is the

that has thousand different varia-
