TALE OF A PLUME
BY CLAUDINE SMYThE.

"All my life," began the stout girl,
as she removed her hat and held 1t
up to undergo a critical survey, I've
had wild longing to possess a hat
with a plume. I've been possessed
with envy of every girl saw with a
real plume on her hat. I've stood hours
longing for the wealth of plumes dis
played in shop windows-but ]
never felt that l could get one!"
You see, when l was baby an
uncle of mine died, and his wife gave
my mother the white plume from his
helmet; for he belonged to some uni
formed order or other and had a
plume to march with, you know.
well, mother packed that plume
away in blue tissue paper. so it
wouldn't turn yellow, and waited for
me to grow up.
when | became old enough to
think about pretty hats, mother
brought out the plume, and we looked
1t over.
Just then, however, everybody was
wearing little clusters of fat short
tips, and that long straggly ostrich
feather of mine, no matter how you
curled it, never could have been worn
on the street without attracting I'M
pleasant attention. So we sorrow
fully wrapped it up again and dream
ed Of the next year, wren styles
would change, while mother pressed
out some plaid ribbon and tied it
around my hat!
Well when the next year came, be-
hold the plume. Even mother had
to laugh when we looked at it. Every
one had a willow plume, if she had
anything, and the willow pumes were
thick and long and thrillingly eXquis-
lite. The helmet plume, fiat and
scrawny, looked in comparison like
little alley cat beside a big blue rib
bon angora!
Il remember l shed real tears that
year over the disappointment. But
mother had some cast iron or
india rubber or something equally
strong, that resembled bunch Of
black feathers, and we tucked those
on my hat, where had imagined the
plume would wave, and | went out in
the world and pretended there was no
skeleton in our closet!
"Of course, mother and / agreed
that it would be perfectly silly for me
to buy another plume so long as we
had one in the house not in use! For
we have always been taught to
use what we have and finish using it
before buying more. It's rather diff
cult sometimes to realize the logic of
this system, but in the long run it's
very economical. Why, I'd have had
several expensive hats during those
year of waiting il 1t hadn't been for
that perfectly good, mussed plume up
in the closet!
Then last year, when | read the
willow plumes were quite out of the
swim, and ordinary plumes would be
used again, l got out my long slim
natural feather, feeling very righteous
in the knowledge that there was moth

A woman, who by bearing and dress,
could be distinguished as "newly rich, "
entered street car, and with a very
naughty air seated herself near an old
Italian.
When the conductor came to take up
the fares she said to him in a loud voice:
'Let me off at my husbands bank. "
The conductor evidently knowing
her, assured her that he would, and
pushed on to the Italian.
''Let me off at my peanut stand,
called out the old fellow, as he paid his
fare.

"These fellows" he went on, sin

"Jones sat in barroom one Satur-

one of them, Billy Croft, was called
away by his wife. Billy rose hurriedly,
leaving his glass of beer on the table.
"a few minutes afterward Jones' lit

'Father, mothers bin ajawin' with
Billy Croft's wife and Billy has hit

MOURNING FOR THE DEAD.

MoD RNlNG folt l II II DEAD.
There are few things in which men
and women show themselves SO IRA
tional as in prolonged and consuming
grief for the dead, 1t is not in human
nature TO be philosophic when the earth
has closed over one we love. but to
noufish agony and sorrow is nearly an
abdication Of reason itself The God
who orders our births, orders likewise
our deaths. All must die. To die is
as common and as natural as to live,
Being common, universal, certain, it
cannot be an evil. Those who have
gone before, no matter how long their
days, seem to have lived and vanished
AS creatures of the hour, SO that even
over the death Of the young we should
not lament at the seeming untimelness
of their taking Off. 1t is indiscreet TO
assume that the death Of the young is
, peculiar calamity and hardship. How
can we tell what they have escaped, or
decide they are not singularly fortu-
mater Who finds life such an unmixed
blessing as to grieve long over the
translation of those who are yet inno-
cent and happy TO serener spheres. 1t
Is vain and unavailng to gcieve over
what happened AMI cannot be altered.
1t does no good to the dead and it in
lures the living. 1t is also mutiny
against the Presiding Judge of all. To
honor the dead Alright is to cherish
'ondly the memory Of good dispositions
and Deeds and make that memory a
guide for our own spiritual attainments.
This is better than marble slabs, glow
| ing memorials or devouring pangs of
fruitless woe. The ancient world new
err clothed death with the terrors which
came in with the church and the raid.

proclaim the fear Of annihlation, the

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.

These are the things worth while:
The rainbow after the rain;
The peace that follows pain;
The developed garden rose;
The flower that 10y the wayside grows
To claim an urchin's smile.
The little sacrifices made
BY patient mother-ove;
The touch of little children's hands;
And sweet affections subtle bands,
The bright sunshine above;
The song the robin sings;
The cord of music that awakes,
Yearning for nober things,
These, and a trusting woman's love,
In life are most worth while.

fry to a golden brown in very hot fat.

the best part of 1t was that 1t might
very readily be copied and at little ex-

The little surpliced corsage Of lace
was made over plain net that extends q
bit beyond the lace at the neck and
sleeve ends. Then the neck was finished
with a gathered. outstanding rufae Of
doubled pink taffeta..
A net skirt formed the top to foot

hung the long taffeta tunic which was
gathered very full at the top and left
with a three-inch beading and a double
row of shirring about the waist.
A broad sash of self material covered
the line of heading and shirring just in
front. but as it sloped downward to tie
at the hipline in back the shirring was
allowed to show above, and the effect
was most pleasing.
A deeper pink velvet poppy trims the
top of the sash in front and another Is
caught gracefully against the tunic.
Shadow lace may be substituted for

They lend themselves especially to

cheese sauce over each.
