Caravaggio, which had been lost sight
of for many years. The painting was
known to cOnnoisseurs through print
In the Galleria degli Ufzzi.
Sig di Pietro, the secretary of this
gallery, was determined to find the
picture. 1t was known that In the
year 100 1t was in possession of the
Cerretani family, which is now ex-
tinct.
Sig di Pietro, while examining Mar
cheese della Stufa's collection saw the
painting and Immediately identified 1t.
The Ufzzi print is an exact reproduc-
ton of the picture, which is typical

of whom is playing violin. one lutte
and one flute, while two are singing
and one is listening.-New York Sun.

Yesterday was the anniversary
of my dear mothers death. l
have always gone to her grave on
that day. | did not tell Dick j
was going, as | did not want to
bother him with my sorrow
which he, never knowing my
mother, could scarcely appreciate.
AS things turned out it would
have been better If had told him
when he left that | was going to
the cemetery.
eve must go over to mothers
to dinner" he said as he left me.
You meet me there at six
O'clock"
"Be sure and telephone your
mother that we are coming"
"Why don't YOU telephone,
Madge?" he asked rather impa-
tiently.
ooh, Dick, l cant do that. l
really don't know your mother
we'll enough to inform her that
l am going to dine with her with
out invitation"
"Oh, these women!" exclaimed
Dick. Must they always stand
on ceremony? You don't think
for a moment that mother will
make any more difference for you
than she does for me, do you?"
i was silent, for 1 did not want
to tell him that l knew she would.
WELL" he said impatiently,
"I'll telephone her II you think 1t
is necessary. i am going to be
very busy with Selwin today map
ping out selling campaign, but
I'll be there not later than six"
After Dick left l knew that I
had done wrong in not acceding
to his request to telephone his
mother.
Just because | was sensitive and
felt she did not like me very we'll
are no reasons why l should not
have done my duty to Dick. He
went away thinking that / was
going to be here all day doing
nothing and that for some fancied
GOODNESS on the part of his mother
would disarrange all his plans
and burden his mind with a tele-
phone message, which in itself
was foolish.

and Just to save my pride /

While one shop window full of

not make a summer, yet every

In the first place, II is well to
state that the reigning material

both in silk and cotton. Then
lightweight serge, ratine and
mohair.
And colors?
After black, which will be worn
by the conservatives more than
ever, the most brilliant colors will
be worn on the street. Sealing
wax red, copper kettle yellow,
verdigris green, Italian sky blue
and bruse purple are some of the
colors that Fashion declares will
be worn.
Later, in the dresses you will
see wonderfully colored flowers
that never grew except in the
brain of a fabric designer. Both
black and white gowns will have
a touch Of color. The one rule to
be observed Is only that every
thing you wear shall be sensation
al in some particular.
For an afternoon or restaurant
gown to wear before Lent a black
velvet skirt, narrow and long with
a full white silk duventine wired
tunic shows this sensational note:
One side of the kimona waist, of
the gown In illustration, is of
black chiffon velvet and the other
is of white duventine, with a soft
sash of duyentine and beaded
fringe of irrideseent hues. These
same beads form the conventional
flowers that embroider both waist
and tunic.
A white satin cap with velvet
rim and an irridescent feather
"stick-up" can be. worn with this
costume, which is made further
noticeable by the white satin heel
less shoes with irridescent bead
buckles.
