NITA'S NEW YORK FASHIONS
Fashions in FTOwers-Easter Gifts-A
 Pretty Surprise Bouquet

With Easter impending and the vogue of giving, presents, it is well to note those that are especially adapted to the spring season Nat urzlly flowers are deemed the. most suitable. not only in pots but as cut clusters and set forms.
 The latter term need not suggest a funeral device, for dainty novelties in touch with the sentiment of the sea- son, and by no means suitable for anything but the brightest thoughts, are shown everywhere in the florists and novelty shops.
 One of the prettiest things I have seen in years is called an Easter Sur prise bouquet. It is built over a wire frame, cornucopia in shape as to the bottom, with a lid that opens and dis closes a satin lined nest in which can be placed box of bonbons or a gift of jeweIry or gloves.
 The frame work is entirely covered by greenery and some dainty blooms, preferably Easter lilies or white ear nations. From the bouquet are sus pended numerous pendant streamers of baby ribbon in white or green, hold ing lily or a carnation, here and there from the bouquet handle to the ends of the flowing ribbons. It is indeed a surprise to receive a bouquet and find that it is a, flow cry receptacle for some dainty Eas-
 
 The shops devoted to paper novel, ties are making specia1ties of lilies. in the hearts of which are found small trif1es suitable to the season.
 One confectioner has Combined the idea of flowers and candy, by getting up attractive bouquets of candied vol lets with silk cords and tulle addi- tions just the same as when the real violets are arranged for my Iady's cor sage. They even can be worn, if the atmosphere isn't too warm, but it is better to keep them for show until they look good enough to eat then eat them.
 The wise person of small means will not think of buying flowers at the Easter season. If little pots have been grown during the winter, flowers can be presented with only the cost of | fri1 of pretty colored paper to cOv- sr the ugly little pot.
 There being fashions in everything, the Easter parade on Fifth avenue starts the fashion in how and what to wear in the way of flowers.
 Orchids are considered the choicest because the most expensive, presum- ably. These comb bined with lilies of the valley and maiden hair ferns have superseded the erstwhile popular vio- let This corsage bouquet must be worn exactly midway between the waist and sthe neck. It is not con- sidered good form to pin it at the aide or at the waist line, but I would advise the stout lady to do away with this form of decoration, or else break rules and place the flowers at the waist line, where they will not accen- iuate the lines of her figure.

There cr1re recently ito Rome barefo2tc< pen:tent who appeared at the vatican in sackcioth and ashes on his head, following the ancient Roman custom, nov so seldom put in prac- tice. He is Father Benno Auracher, and truly was he penitent-
 Father Benno was for years procur ator-generaI of the Capuchin order. the friars who go corded and cowled and with shaven heads and sandaled feet In 1909 the whole world was shocked to learn that this eminent priest had left the order and the church and married a woman in Lon don. Marriage cured him of his folly. According to priests familiar with the aftermath the wife of the Capuchia proved an unmanageab1e shrew. In tears and with genuine sorrow he came to the Holy city to beg forgive ness.
 The kind hearted Pope Plus, recall ing no doubt, that both St. Ambrose and St. Co1umbkile were sorely tempt ed by wilefuI women-though these saints proved too strong for the si- rens-and being informed by the Vat ican officials that the penitence of Father Benno was real and intense. forgave him and restored him to the priesthood. He has been received back into the Capuchin order, but he no longer is the ruling spirit which he was prior to 10O9

ONE WOMAN TO ANOTHER
The Gushing Woman-People Who ''Slop Over''- Other Extreme of
 Excessive Frankness

Does any woman Of your acquaint- ance gush? If she does, aren't you often tempted to tell her flat1y that she makes you sick?
 There are two kinds of women that are trying on the nerves in two dis tinetly different ways One always tells you that you are the dearest, the sweetest, the 1oveliest thing on earth.
 You would, like to believe her, and feel sort of warm and comfortable all over, likewise somewhat puffed up. Then you hear her saying exactly the same thing to some one else, who, without the slightest feeling of envy or misjudgment you know is about as commonplace as they make them.
 In consequesce, when the gusher tells you that your hat is really the most becoming thing, you are inclined to snatch it off and never wear it again.
 In contradistinction to the gusher is the horribly frank individual who tells you the plain. .unvarnished truth, taking particular pains to pick out the unpleasant rather than the pleasing features on which to dilate at length.
 You meet her on the street and she greets you in this cheerful fashion, For Heavens Sake, What Have You Been Doing to Your face?" When you assure her that you did not know that anything was the mat ter with it, she proceeds to analyze your wrinkles, the added lines be- tween your eyes, your new way of wearing your hair that makes you look older, and leaves you feeling as cheerful as a graveyard.
 This. type of woman-you all know herreSents it as a personal insult if you suggest that she would look bet ter in blue than in pink, but she does not hesitate in telling every one she meets just what|she thinks of their T7n oTifi ioi h f1T not.
 While the gusher is to be- sat down upon hard. she really is not as unkind as the outspoken one
 A good rule for us all to follow, 1s' to say nothing, if we can'tz say some thing pleasant, not however. feeling that this means that everything 3s 'ttoo sweet for words" just the dear est" etc

Because he had been a naughty lit tie boy-a very naughty little boy-he was sent to bed without any pudding. But in the evening, when his brothers and sisters all were fast asleep, he crept downstairs, a fearful little white robed figure, and, going into the H- brary, said to his mother:
