Wooden materials are of the coarsest
weaves.
Figured silks are vying with two
toned effects for street and house
dresses.
Collarettes are of lace tulle, hand
embroidered linen or figured net. Some
have touches of black velvet in tie
form of tiny bows on the front.
Cloth of gold and silver tissue comes
again to a supple and glistening res
cue when the dull rose and mahogany
shades cry for a contrasting touch.
Heavy lace incrusted with gems
shows that the styles so popular in the
winter have been recognized as worthy
of repetition for spring evening gowns.

wear with the sugar-loaf hat. These
curls come over the ears and peep out
prettily from under the quaint but be
coming little hat without brim.
Morning blouses are particularly at
tractive if made of striped or dotted
linen The almost inevitable frills on
these models are of plain-colored
linen, and this addition brings the
shirtwaist or blouse into a closer har
mony with the colored skirt. 1t is al
most trite to add that these models
are collarless.
Large fiat hats have appeared with
flowers in wreaths encircling the low
crowns. This style is becoming to nine
out of ten women, for 1t is undeniable
that the long. sweeping lines of hats
will add to the charm of the face be-
meath and they are rarely trying to

Feminine Misers.

"AIiser" has always been recognized
as referring TO men only. The grim
picture of the miser has shown a
keen-faced, thin-chested man, bending
over his hoard. But recently several
women have died in great apparent
poverty, and their death has revealed
considerable sums of money hidden
among their poor belongings. In one
case the amount was amazingly large,
twenty thousand dollars being found
in actual money in various hiding
places in one room.
The vice of misa;iiness is really
mysterious to the normal woman,
whose heart naturally beats in SYM
pathy with the needs of her neigh
bors. A thousand women are improvi-
dent by virtue of their instructive gen.
erosity, to one who is stingy, because
she loves the feeling that she has
money.
Never was there a more waStefully
misdirected force than in the career
of the miserly woman. Think of her
self-denials, her cold-heartedness, as
sumed for her own end, her endurance
of hardness and her long years of ST
lence and abstinencel That her SUI.
fering is worse than useless does not
detract from the courage and persist
ence il involves TO eat and drink OF
the coarsest and scantiest fare, TO
SILVER in cold and stifie in heat. to
go ragged and dirty. and TO know one
self hateful to ones little world-this
way of life, If chosen for good and
generous end, would be sufficient to
enthrone plain woman as saint.
The miser lives in world where all
the moral values are upside down. BY
just so much as the miserly woman
practices the austere virtues does she
become the slave of her own greco
Instead of losing her life that she may
save it, she loses it that she may lose
life joy, soul itself. thousandfold
more hopelessiy. She plunges into the
dark gulf of a misery masquerading
as pleasure The mask drops and the
horrible truth is revealed only when
the last words of the tragedy are
spoken: I'VE brought nothing into

carry nothing out!"-Youth's Com.
