Some Pretty Styles in Hats

As far as millinery goes, think that
this forcing Of the seasons is absurd
Here we are with the lclest Of Icy winds
blowing, and everything as cold and as
wlntry as possible. yet IL you aren't
wearing a straw hat you are "out Of
style"
Yes, It is absurd. Why tho beginning
of last September. when the weather
was so hot and one longed for GOODNESS,
all the straw hats suddenly vanished,
and women everywhere appeared with
heavy millinery Of black velvet or some
thing similar.
Well do I remember setting forth on a
broiling hot morning under one of these
close-fittlng velvet "cnapeaux." had
tremendous amount or shopping to do
and 1 don't know when 1 felt moro
heated.
Now here como all the spring hats,
and we simply must have one, unless we
wish to be entirely demodee-and that
would never do, would It?
must confess that started out with
two friends Of mine this morning in
far from cheerful franc of mind. For
I didn't want to buy a straw hat, yet
as they we're going TO make millinery
purchases 1 didn't want to be left out
OF the fun.
However, when we reached tine millinery
place to which my two friends pin their
faith, a sudden change came DER the

threat. He walked slowly toward the
fireplace His wife was standing notion
less, looking down at the fiickering
flames. One of her hands was resting on
the mantelpiece.
THE fog has nearly put the fire out"
he said.
She looked at him with dull. weary eyes,
opened her lips as If to speak and then
stared down at the fire again.
1T Is no use my pretending that don't
know" he said abruptly and almost
flercely. "Vertigan has told you. He
threatened to tell you IL did not come
to you for more money. That could not
go on--I have been coward long enough
Il wished him to tell you'll would have
told you myself If you had not been in
London"
'Then 1t is true?" she said me-
chanically.
81 do not know what he told you, but
expect IL was the truth There was no
need for him to lie The truth was evil
enough-Anne, I-if 1 had thought that
this was likely to happen would have
told you before 1 asked you to marry
me. But lived in a FOOLS paradise. Yer
tigan had never asked me for money until
that day-when he came down into Devon
shire 1t did not occur to me that he
would ever ask for It'll must have been
mad"
For nearly minute there was silence.
Then she looked at him again.
What is to happen now?" she said
slowly.
1T do not know. Anne. will not ask
you to pay the money. Perhaps, on the
whole, It would be better to make a firm
stand-now-once and for all-let the man
do his worst"
IT was not thinking OF the money" she
continued In the same dull, even voice
"The money shall be paid-all my money
II 1t is necessary. was thinking OF our
selves"
"You-you mean," he stammered.
"Anne-you must not decide anything
until have told you the story Perhaps
It will sound different when tell II to you.
Anne dear. for pity sake, do not decide
anything yet-sit down and listen to what
have to say-I will not plead with you
do anything to warp your judgment.
You shall hear the plain facts"
She seated herself in a chair by the
wretched fire and shlvered as II she were
cold. Erleigh remained standing. II was
easier for him to talk thus than II they
had sat face to face.

Hints for the Spring Toilette

The early spring styles are making
their appearance and the straw hat is
not at all unusual on the street. Here
are few advance notes on the edicts of
fashion:
Most OF the new shoes have straps over
the instep. These are cool and comfort
able for warm days, and rich headings
and embroidery on the straps add a touch
of splendor.
All kinds of boleros are coming in
again.
The old-fashioned and highly artistic
ostrich feather fan has made its appear
ance.
Dance frocks are made of sheerest
organdie.
The early straw hats are made with a
trimming OF satin and resemble military
turbans.
Buckles will be worn on all slippers.
even those for street wear, and the high
boot. made OF brown or bronze leather,
will remain in favor.
Make your wide skirt short-a narrow
one Is out of the question.
White petticoats have deep. full ruffles
OF soft lace.
The newest gloves are trimmed with all
kinds OF gaudy stitchings, If you can
wear brown, do so by all means; this
promises to be brown season.

| lasting passion ON the part OF men OF
the highest intellectual rank and ability.
In cases where great beauty was added
to this magnetic personality, tragedy has
often resulted. Mary, Queen of Scots,
was one OF the loveliest and most be-
witohing women who ever lived. both
mentally and physically most un-
happy lady,
But to every picture there is reverse
side, and the pretty girl should be thank
ful for her gift of beauty. But she must
overcome the very great temptation which
comes TO every pretty girl to rest on her
laurels, so to speak, and allow her beauty
TO be the only attraction she has to Of
fer. She must cultivate her good quail
ltes quite as assduously as the girl who
has been less favored by nature. For
many men shun the pretty girl as being
conceited or brainless, or unnteresting.
Why plainness of face should be taken
as "a sign of intelligence strikes me as
think so!
The pretty girl is always sure of a
certain amount Of homage from men.
But the quality of that homage depends
entirely upon herself. Beauty brings ad-
and adulaton, and Il good
time in the way of masculine attention
but beauty, to arouse and keep deep and
lasting love- should be backed by qualities
that endure and endear.
