QUEER STREET NAMES.

One Feature In Which Brussels Out
does London or Paris.
There are many bewilderinG street
names in European cities. and OF
these London presents bewildering
variety Bermondsey possesses Pie
kle Herring street. Near Gray's inn
there is TO he found Cold Bath
square Most of the Nightingale lanes
and Love lanes are hidden. ironically
enough. In the slums of the east end
of the British capital
In Brussels some OF the street names
are really bizarre. The Short Street OF
the Long Chariot. the Street of the
Red Haired Women and the Street OF
Sorrows are remarkable enough to
catch the least observant eye. The
Street Of the One Person Is, as Que
might guess. an extremely narrow one
But the cream of the Brussels street
name surely belongs to the Street OF
the Uncracked silver Cocoanut. This
in the original appears as one ponder
ous word OF thirty-six letters.
The 1000 inhabitants OF the Rue des
Mauvals Garcons signed petition
praying that the name of the street be
changed. They contended that the de
nomination of the thoroughfare in
which they reside produces bad i'm
preston on those to whom they are
obliged to give their address.
This Street of the Bad Boys was, 1t
appears. so named in the sixteenth
century because of the noisy character
Of its inhabitants, But now It needs
no such designation. those who reside
there being for the most part peaceful
and respectable citizens
Among the peculiar street names In
Paris may he mentioned the Street OF
the Little Windows. the Street OF the
Mules Foot. the Street of the Holy
Fathers, the Street of the Daughters
Of Calvary. the Street of the Dry Tree.

SMART BLOUSES
MUCH ELADORAT TED
Well Chosen Color Schemes The
+. Secret Of Good Dressing.

The day OF the shirt waist, with its
simple plaits and gathered sleeves. is
done. FOR awhile al least. Summer
will bring back other blOuses in white.
but the colured one will continue to be
made In the loose and sometimes care
less manner that prevails today.
Most Of them look as though they
had no lining. no inside belt, no shoul-
der straps.
They seem ready TO fall OFF, and yet
they have grace which is peculiarly
their own II is the grace of drapery
and announcement.
The materials are arranged more ac-
cordlng TO line and color than accord
ing to ut and cut. In effect the blouseS
appear TO be a combination of extra
broad bands OF various fabrics laid
across and up and down the figure
The sleeves seem to be an accidental
part OF the drapery dropping over the
arm. They do not show any seams or
outline the juncture Of the arm and
the shoulder
A woman knows how annoying it is
to ind that she only has blue blouse
clean when she Is wearing brown suit.
The way 10 overcome this Is to
choose ones waists rather carefully
after one has made up a plan for the
summer wardrobe. If you make your
blouses now in haphaZard fashion you
may be compelled to get suits and hats
10 go with them, which is putting the
cart before the horse
Some women keep TO one color
scheme az nearly as possible through
out the season. They know that blue
and green and black possibly are their
chief colors, and they hold to these
regardless Of what the dyers and the
manufacturers produce, This Is the
secret Of really good dressing, and you
will find upon observation that ii is
the method Of nearly all women who
are conspicuous fOr taste in clothes.
1 you know your own mind quite
thoroughly in regard to the colors you
will choose for your spring and sum
fner suits. then II Is quite wise to go
ahead with your waist, but If not 1t Is
best 20 confine oneself TO the choice
OF black, pin dotted with white and
dark bright blue, which goes with such
n quantity Of other colors.
The big bands are In very good style
ehls year, and they are among the
chief colors introduced on white ma
terlals. Golden brown. soft shades OF
green and many tones Of blue are used
as well as cerise, pomegranate red and
any Of the new wine tones.
Pink is to be in high fashion this
summer in all shades but the paste
ones. Killarney pink, coral. flam'
and watermelon are among the tones
we will see most used on sheer white
blOuses OF muslin, marquisette and ba
tlste. Finely dotted swiss will als'
come into favor as a fabric for waists
and it will have many adherents, as 4
wears and washes well and looks ex
eeptionally attractive under linen suits
