the other wildings of our particular

For somehow 1t is true that in the

alike are gladdened and refreshed, and
the song of the nature-world sweetly

Some of us, when we were quite
small folk, used to say that we loved
best the winter season; that the winds
might howl and the snow pile up to
the very skies If it liked-we were al

But as the years slip along and the
seasons tell their eloquent stories, 1t
is the springtime story we enjoy most
of all. Ana each year as we wait for
the book to open at the page that
fairly sings of new life and fresh hope,
the story grows more eloquent, more
beautiful than ever.

the time when the birds will pour out

DRAPED SKIRT IS
STILL POPULAR
One Sees Quantities of Silk Broeades,
Satins and Ninons,

For full dress occasions there are any
number of new evening frocks TO choose
from. Three out of four of the newest
designs show the draped skirt in some
form or another. and all have an ap-
pearance of extreme costliness. Figured
materials are very popular; one sees
quantities of soft brocades. though satins
and ninon are every bit as fashionable
The only thing against figured materials
is that they have a tendency to make a
dress look elderly. and for this reason
they should not be worn by quite young
girls. This, however. does not apply to
any figured materials of a transparent
Rature, but only to brocades and velvet
brooches.

Handel. born in 1855 had no musical
ancestry. His father was a very excel

son for the law. When he was little

father saw menace in this taste, and
music was tabooed: but his godmother
