ity, as soon as YOU read the new IN
and Around Washington" puzzle to he
given in the Woman'S section tomorrow.
1t is certainly a unique enigma upon

ington, who does not hear about il from
the cradle to the grave
Intense interest has been displayed in

THE warm weather had come
again and with it the clear skies
= and the green fields. The birds
sang merrily in the trees and along
the country road it was peaceful and
quiet. Suddenly there came a cloud
OF dust in the distance and slowly
there came nearer a circus-lIke pro-
cession-great houselike teams drawn
by plodding horses. lfyou had paused
long enough to listen you would
have heard the men who walked along
by the side of the horses singing quaint
songs, and then if you had peeped
into the backs of the canvas house
wagons you would have seen some
very gaily dressed women. In one
wagon along toward the end of the
procession you would have seen a
very sweet little girl and, boy. They
were gypsy children and the large
gypsy families were moving.
You know the gypsies are people
who love the outdoor life and they
travel about the country, pitching their
camps in the cool shade of the wood
lands. These gypsies, to whom little
Wakua and Stradella belonged, were
even now searching for a camping
place and as the procession moved
along the road the men were ever on
the watch for comfortable clearing

Flower Combinations.

1nnumerable audaCioUs combinations
and groupings of flowers have been ef-
fected by daring milliners. combinations
which may seem more fantastic than
beautiful. although many a daring color
scheme which the conservative woman
would hesitate to wear is nevertheless
beautiful merely as a bit of color
These gorgeous flowers offer unlimited
possibilities If the milliner has a we'll
developed sense of the artistic, although
in the Unskflled hand the effect of group
ing the wrong colors together may bring
about a most unsatisfactory and dowdy
effect.

FOR LONG SPINS
ON SPRING DAYS

With the first warm days. which call
for long spins over long stretches, the
heavy winter motor bonnet is laid aside,
and bewitching substitutes in chiffon
and novelty effects take its place this sea-
son.
A chiffon motor bonnet comes in soft
and becoming shade of Alice blue. 1t is
shirred at intervals over soft silk
foundation and modelled on regular bon
net lines such as we associate with chill
dren's hoods
1t is, however, of an exaggeratedly
large size, almost having a poke effect.
Chiffon streamers tie under the chin.
Such a model, soft and light, is convent
emily rolled into small compass and tuck
ed away when not in use.
Novelty Motor Bonnet.
A novelty motor bonnet comes in fine
horsehair braid. which is woven in tube
shape. The cap is modelled after the knit
ted ones seen this winter, the horsehair
braiding taking the place of the worsted
strands. The cap part is blue. while the
border is woven of blue and green. This
makes an extremely light and airy af-
fair for warm days.
For Summer Wear.
For summer wear with linen costumes
white buckskin shoes in button style will
be worn. as well as the white buckskin
pumps. and with the latter buckles of old
silver often take the place of ribbon
bows
new idea in tailored costumes. espe-
cially the light linens. is to have the belt
buckle match those of the pumps. These
come in tarnished silver preferably. but
many in rich chasing will also he seen.

Little Bedtime Tales B, EDITH #Avzns

Glad to get away from the hot dusty
road Wakua and Stradella ran glee-
fully about in the cool shade chasing
butterflies and pausing here and there
to gather some sweet flowers. Con-
stantly in the outdoor air they were
just as healthy as could be, while their
little faces were as brown as berries.
In spite of it all being out of doors
it was a very cosy place there IN the
gypsy camp.
There was one thing in particular
you would have liked about it. Every
body sang pretty songs all of the time.
Even the children sang sweet songs
and at night when they crept into the
great canvas covered wagons tossleep
the last thing they would remember
would be some good night song and it
seemed to come from so very tar
away.
Perhaps they would stay there in the
woodland for two weeks and then they
would pack up and the long process
sion of teams would start again for
some new spot.
Perhaps some day as you are out
driving in the country you may come
across these gypsies and you may
really see and talk to Wakua and Stra-
della am sure you will like them
for they are always so very happy.

EASTER NOVELTIES THAT WERE
SEEN IN WASHINGTON SHOPS

Although the Lenten weeks are not
yet over the shops have blossomed out
into Easter loveliness, and Easter nov
elites, dainty articles for the Easter
bride and suggestions for the many en-
tertainments of the post-Lenten season
are seen on every side.
The sending of gifts on this day has
become almost as much of a custom as
the giving of presents at Christmas
time, and many novelties are shown for
this purpose
OF course, flowers head the list of
things to give, and the Easter lilies,
hyacinths, and aZaleas will this year be
plentiful; but for those who are not
anxious to send flowers there are scores
of quaint and dainty gifts to select. from.
Eggs Lined with Satin.
There. are big, gaudy eggs, lined with
softest satin, in which are folded two
pairs of filmy silk stockings, the whole
costing 81 or s.. according TO the quality

of the hose. Then. there are little eggs.
in which nestle thimbles or dainty
brooches of enamel and there are tall
plush bunnies, which serve as pen wipers
and cost only . cents, and there are
bunnies, too. that carry a small fiat has,
ket, into which a monogramed handker-
chief may be slipped.
These cost from 10 cents to s.5O ac-
cortiing TO the size and the price of the
handkerchief. while wee egg-sha ped sill
yer pots with air plants or small ferns
may be had for 81.
4 Novel Sponge Case.
A useful gift for father" would be
one of the new sponge cases to hang
outside his window These are shaped
like half an egg, and the cords by
which they are hung are fastened 10 the
wire basket with small rabbit heads
Rabbit Foot Charms.
Rabbit foot charms are also being
shown for Easter, while fluffy chicks
play their part as bearers OF candy,
place cards, jewel boxes, and many
other novelties.
As for the Easter eggs-never before
were such marvels of the confectionery
art shown in the shops. Some of the
chocolate eggs are really boxes which
contain many varieties of sweets. Some
are almost hidden beneath delicate
traceries of icing in different coIors,
while the sugar eggs, so beloved by US
in our childhood, with their tiny peep
holes through which gaudy picture
may be seen. are also on sale

TO QUESTIONS

Reader-O II is called the Church Of
Israel. Jewish. and Hebrew. (3 The
Jewish confession of faith consists of
thirteen articles, which are. in sub
stance: a. That there is one God, creator
OF all things (9 that God is uncom-
pounded and indivisible. but different
from all other unities; (9 that God is
inmaterial, without any admixture of
COrporeal substance; (D that God is
eternal but everything else had a be-
ginning in time; C5) that God alone
ought TO be worshiped, without media
tors or intercessOrs: 90 that there have
been inspired prophets and may be more:
Cl that Moses was the grandest prophet;
H) that the law of Moses was in every
syllable dictated by the Almighty; t9)
that this law is immUtable. neither to

gotten up to please a public that's crazy
to be faxed
With an air of having settled the whole
matter, the speaker. a young newspaper
man, sat back in his chair and eyed the
rest of the group:
In the group. besides the young news
paper man, were the man-who- thinks.
the writer man. a pr, fessor of psy-
chology, and two or three women They
had been discussing the performances of
a nonprofessional hypnotist who was per-
sonally known to the professor.
At the delivery OF the conversational
bombshell noted above, the man-who-
thinks started t" speak. then bit it back,
the wrterman lifted his eyebrows, and
the professor inquired very mildly, You
have been studying into this matter?
You have read something that convinced

The disbeliever snorted at that.
Well. hardly. Never had time to waste
reading that sort Of stuff. But I've seen
enough about these exposed fakes in the
newspapers to convince me it's all nom

reason. The first speaker is a type.

any of the phenomena connected with

fed to announce boldly that he knows
that all supposed manifestations Of these
pow crS are fakes. and all people inter-
ested in investigating them are takers.
The men and women who are readers
and thinkers and who have consequently
read something on .hese subjects. though
they may not be believers, do not feel
qualified to express such sweeping un-
belief
Twenty-Five years ago If any one had
told you that man claimed to be able
to send message from a ship fifty
miles out at sea to the land, you would
probably have said He must have some
accomplice on the land. 1t is a trick

being recognized and studied by sober. sci

the methods and forces of science are
being employed to rush farther into this
unknown realm: of mans psychic powers.

armful of novels, you get one good SCI

4 FEW LETTERS PUZZLERS'
EXPERIENCE WILL HELP
THEM TO APPRECIATE
By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

lust To let you know l haven't been
doing all the talking this week about
the flower puzzle l am going to take
back seat this morning and let you talk
to each other.
It is impossible to publish very many
of the interesting letters that have come
to me from members of the puzzle cir
Gle, owing to space restrictions.
Here are few that your own expert
ence in finding THE flowers of the woods
and fields" will help you to appellate.
My Dear Mrs. MANI:
When you speak OF the puzzle being
as easy rs rolling off a log, 1 am quite
sure you mean the California big logs,
and not by any means easy. Now. when
fhe funny animal plant could be any
thing from lizard to an elephant, and
the head dresses for ladies anything from
caps to bridal wreaths, and the style and
a bush anything from satin to diamond
studded plants, how under the shining
lsun is one to guess? The puzzle is the
most difficult that has been given, and
that is going some. One book had only
200 flowers, but, believe me, these were
not sufficient to solve your terrible
twenty" My solution has gone in, but
this finds me still puzzling over ladies'
from so much study. but am in the puZ-
Zle ring to stay. Cordially yours.
SARAH Z. CLOOKE,''
MY Dear Mrs. MANI:
please do not stop the puzzles. They

ing, and will continue to have till late
in the spring. or until summer gives us
birds and beasts and fish and anything
so that it is puzzling. No more rolling
off the log ones. if you please. Take il
from me that the ones you consider so
easy that they will not afford common
amusement are very staggering so far
as solving them are concerned. Cordially,
