PARISIAN MILLINERY.

The season commenced with a craze for dark blue and scarlet with a mix ture of white, but the last few weeks crude shades of green have come prominently to the front mostly ex- hibited in shapes of broad bands let into navy blue hats, and in. ostrich and aigrettes. The latter is shown In a great variety Of colors besides especially every fashionable shade of deep pink and red, light khaki shades. medium and dark blues.
 There certainly has never been such an output of ostrich before These feathers have been imported this sea- son by tons. All the stores are mak- ing wonderful shows of them, not only dyed and ready for use, but in their natural state in baskets of a gross or more
 big store known as the "Printemps" has transformed two of it's windows into small Sahara carpeted deep with sand. On one side of this is a stuffed ostrich held by two nippers, and a man in khaki who appears to be making selections of the finest plumes. On the other side a black woman is seated in front of hut roofed in palm leaves. She has piles of feathers at her feet and a bundle of them on her knees, and between is the traditional ostrich nest in the sand with real eggs and a fluffy f1edg ling. The figures are all life size
 Ribbons are beginning to be very extensively used This is not likely to interfere with the sale of ostrich, as P?arisians always reserve their feather trimmed hats for smart occa- sions. It is more likely to make a small difference to the artificial flower trade though the quantity of flowers required to trim a single hat now would usually have provided enough for two. This may square matters satisfactorily Besides, flowers are often combined with ribbons
 A three-storied toque is much fan cied This has turban brim a crown entirely covered with flowers, making a sort of cushion surmounted by an immense bow of ribbon. Here are two examples, one of a somewhat gaudy style, the other quiet.
 For the first the brim is watercress green straw, the flowers, begonia pink anemones, and the bow made of seven big loops standing up tall is in broad and brightest emerald-green taffeta. For the second the straw is navy blue the flowers periwinkles of a pale lav- ender shade and the bow, white rib bons striped wide with navy blue.-| The Millinery Trade Review

The Gentle Art of
 Being Welcome Guest

What has become of the old fash toned guest? Have the modern week. end visits with their casualness. their freedom and informality been the death of her? Girls should remember this and strive to make as few de- mands upon other peoples servants as possible. A young girl unaccus- toned to the services of a personal maid in her own home visited friend who was fortunate enough to afford this luxury. She made so many de- mant1s upon the friends maid, ringing for her at all hours and even asking her to massage her scalp and tonic her hair, that the maid gave notice. Conduct of this kind is not only in consfderate, but. in wretched taste.
 The girl who is most often asked to visit is the girl who adapts herself pleasantly and happily to the condi- tions of the house she is visiting. No girl of tact will make of herself an intrusive guest. If her hostess keeps only one maid she will quietly offer to help in any of the little household tasks, but she will not embarrass her hostess by forcing this. Many women prefer to attend to such things them selves. and it is rather upsetting to have a guest who will not permit you this privilege.
 An important thing that every girl should learn about visiting is that a hostess should be allowed hours to herself Nothing is more annoying than a guest who is always in ones pocket No matter how agreeable she may be, there are times when it is relief to have her stop in her room
 The most trying type of guest to quiet household is the pleasure-mad one. The girl who is unsuitable where going is concerned, who must have something on for every minute of the day. who wears an aggrieved air if she has to spend quiet evening at home One is apt to bid this sort of guest good-by with glad heart.
 But perhaps the most narrowing guest is the one who gets on ones husband nerves. Every woman has some friend to whom she is attached, vet who is uncongenial with her hus- band and when she pays one a visit all ones energies are exhausted keep ing the two apart.
 She invariably monopolizes his fa- vorite chair. reads his newspaper be- fore he does and chooses the topic for conversation that he detests She diabolically, but innocently, selects a train for departure which will neces- sitate his getting up a half hour ear Her, or staying up an hour later to- see
