The daintiest and most becoming

One is of Irish lace, made over the
palest shell pink silk, with roses of

But there is far prettier one Of
Flemish lace, mounted on azure

Sailor Shapes.

One of the sailor shapes is prettily
curved over the face and has round
crown that is rather wide at the base.
Another sailor, and the popularity df
the sailor is perennial, has the brim
rolled ever so slightly at one side. The
Pierrot shapes are still in the reckon
ing. some of them quite high, but
mostly they have soft tops. They are
youthful and piquant, and will be
copied On straw for summer, but show
less variety than do most other
shapes.
Fur hats and caps for the street
never were 30 attractive as they are
this winter. They will be worn to the
very last moment that the weather
permits, and then they will be relin-
pushed regretfully.

he laughed softly, in high feather
with his conceit; and, thinking cheer
fully of the days of movement and
Change that were to follow, the song
in his heart shaped itself in words
upon his lips.
I'm Paddy Whack
From Ballyhack,
Not long ago turned soldier-O
At grand attack,
Or storm or sack,
None than will prove holder-O!'
His voice was by way of being a
tenor of tolerable quality and volume,
but Misunderstanding wonderful. 1t
was just the way he trolled out the
rollicking stanza that rendered it in
fictitious, irresistible. For as he
paused the voice of the woman that
had reminded him of the song capped
the verse neatly.
'An' whin we get the route
Wild shout,
How they pout!
Wild a ready right-about
Goes the bould soldier-boyt"
O'Rourke caught his breath, star
tied, stunned. 1T can't be-" he
whispered. For if at first her voice,
subdued in distance, had stirred his
memory with a touch as vague and
thrilling as the caress of woman's
hand in darkness, now that he heard
the full strength of that soprano, bell
clear and spirited. he was sure he
knew the singer. He told himself that
there could be no two women in the
world with voices just like that; not
another than her he knew could have
rendered the words with so true a
spirit, so rare a brogue-tinged as
that had been with the faintest,

surmise whence. from which one of all
the rooms with windows opening upon

voice of the woman. She might as
well have been above as below him,
or on either side: he could not guess.
But he was determined.
Now there was beneath his window
balcony with a floor of wood and a
rail of iron-filigree-a long balcony,
extending from one corner of the ho-
tel to the other At intervals it was
splashed with light from the windows
of chambers still occupied by guests
belated or busy, like himself, with the
task of dressing for the evening. The
window to his left was alight; that

on the balcony, his legs dangling with

somebody moving about" he reasoned.
"'Tis frightened she is-not suspect

With that he took heart of hope and
broke manfully into the chorus, sing
ing directly to the lighted window
singing the first line with ardor and
wit
singing persuasively, pleadingly, anx-
iously, insistently.
"For the world is all befo-ore US"
| he sang and then paused. He heard
no echo. And again he essayed, with
| that in his tone to melt heart of
! ice:
For the world is all befo-ore US"
And now he triumphed and was
lifted out of himself with sheer de-
| light; for from the adjoining room
came the next line:
"And landladies ado-ore US

chimed in, and in duet they sang it
