SMART SPRING
An Authority INDUCES In Predictions
Regarding What Will Be Worn.

According tonthe Dry Goods Econo-
mist, there is little doubt that the pres
ent strength Of closed and semiclosed
collars will be continued. These ideas
will prevail not only in the severe
tailored effects for street wear, but to
a lesser degree in the softer, more be-
coming novelties intended for freshen-
ing up the indoor dress. E
These styles will appear In a wide
variety of materials, foremost among
which will be Georgette Grape. satin,
lace, chiffon and wolfe. { e.s1tf
Buttons will be a smart feature. es-
peciaily as a decoration for neckwear
novelties suggesting the military idea.
Jets will be particularly favored, but
there will be some use of brass, crochet
and various other kinds.
Hand embroidery will again be much
In evidence on the tub, as well as on
some of the finer, more delicate novel
ties.

CHILDREN'S PLAY APRONS.
These Are Usually Decorated With
Pictures Which Little Folks Like.

Play garments are important items
In the child's wardrobe today. Some
Of the most interesting examples OF
such are made of seryiceable drill
cloth or khaki In tan and in greenisf
gray tones hat are almost soil proof
and that can be washed when the need
arises without fatally injuring the ap
p%earance Of the apron.
Some of these aprons are adorned
with embroidered or applique figures
of gnomes. fairies and other denizens
of fairyland that are more or less IA
miliar to the possessor of the modern
pinafore. Generally speaking, they
are made without sleeves and slip over
the neck and are fastened about the
waist In a suggestive OF the
aprons worn by the grocer.
For the girl In the kindergarten there
are little pockets in the apron to hold
the crewels and colored papers with
which she does her work. and for the
boy these same pockets may be made
to hold marbles, tops and other pas
time filters of Young America. For
wear when the little girl is hostess ut
the dolls party there are charming lit
tie affairs of lawn and lace. made in
bretelle fashion and mostly without
sleeves.

MAGIC FOR THE PARL0R.
the Company With a Simple
Trick.

the Company With a Simple
Trick.
Prepare a large circular cardboard
target and to this afix as many dark
red or blue bullseyes as there are
guests, having back of each bullseye
a tiny slip of paper IN which is writ
ten directions for some stunt, such as
whistling a tune, singing a song,
standing with the face in the corner
or any trick which suggests itself to
the hostess as likely to amuse the com
pany. Provide a bow and arrow and
ask each guest in turn to shoot at the
target until an arrow pierces some one
of the bullseyes. The player then
takes the slip Of paper which his ar
row has pierced and stands in readi-
ness to perform the stunt" written
upon it, although he must not tell
what 1t is until his turn comes for
amusing the company.

The ~SiIkworm's Work.

If every particle of the natural silk
In the world, estimated at 100000
pounds, were extended in one thread,
such as is turned out by a loom, it
would make a line that would traverse
the entire earth at the equator 14.0OO,-
600 times, or 344 times the distance
between the earth and the sun. The
speed of light is $4,000 miles per sec
ond. But even at this degree of swift
ness in travelling a ray of light would
take about w days to travel a dis
lance equal to the length of this
thread. The colossal task Of the silk
worm Fan be gathered from the fact
that about six filaments spun by the
worm in its cocoon must go to form
a single silk thread such as the loom
spins into fabric.

SMART SPRING SHOES.
High Topped Ones Required by the Cut
of the Modish Skirt.

Extra high boots are worn with the
shorter skirts. The high boot is need
ed, as an ugly effect Is obtained by a
glimpse of the edge OF a boot top be-
meath the gown. Instead Of cloth tops
and kid vamps one of the very newest
shoes il reversed. and we find a black
cloth vamp with brown suede uppers.
The brown suede forms the back OF
the lower part of the shoe and also
runs into the heel.
The black cloth used for the vamp
has a self color stripe in the weave,
and these stripes are made to radiate
from u central seam which runs into
the toe. Other uppers are appearing
with a pointed edge. n point being over
each ~buttonhole.
The effect Is very pretty. Less ex-
treme uppers have n rounded scallop
over each %buttonhole. On brown suede
tops black buttons are appearing.
Very few all brown shoes are een
slippers with backs and sides OF Ro-
man stripe silk are smart.
The fronts OF such slippers are In va.
rious kinds Of kid. They are for street
wear and are less e~ohspicsious In the
actual than in the telling. Intricate
little cross straps interlace over the in
step. These. too. have II touch OF the
Roman stripe, although they are edged
with kid to make them durable.

the two dead men, then lit out.
Il just dropped down among the fam

whether to take notice o. me or the
wounded. l went for the gal and
stanched the blood from her shoulder
while the woman was pickin' up the
man. There was two wounded n
two of us all right. The man was shot
through the lungs and was in a purity
bad way. l lit out for a doctor and
got one there by noon. He said that
the mans wound wasn't mortal, but
1t was a mighty close call.
"The gals wound was bound up, and
she was well on to recovery In ten
days. but the man-her father-was

come to any part O. the mine l wanted.
l tole him | wasn't so lOw down as to
take a mine for Il little thing like that
and was goin' away when the woman
offered me a lump o gold she'd had q

much for two lead bullets, all I'd spent
on EN-. and was gOin' away ag'in when

The Boy Scouts.

The idea underlying the boy scout
movement is not military; it is that of
character building and to teach boys
to do things for themselves. In view
of the growth of the movement it is
strange that some misconceptions still
exist about it. Its purpose is not to
train soldiers, but to train citizens.
The boys learn woodcraft and camp
craft, but above all they are taught
their duties to others. especially the
duty of service. and they are trained to
perform this duty on their own initia-
tive and to know how to perform it,

Household Hints.

The water rice is cooked in makes an
excellent foundation for soup.
An apron made with a bib of table
oilcloth is a great saver when washing
dishes.
DO not hem a heavy silence cloth. as
the hem is apt to make a ridge under
the tablecloth. Buttonhole the cut
edges with white darning cotton.
A small pinch of carbonate of soda
in the water in which cabbages are
boiled preserves the color Of the vege-
table and lessons the unpleasant odor
while boiling.

Jim was a gold miner on
Clear creek. Colorado. n good
many years ago. He was one
of a party of miners who were sit
ting out under the blue heavens aft
er supper smoking their pipes and
trying to get rid of the time which
hung heavy on their hands when they
were not at work. The literature of
uneducated persons, be they sailors,
soldiers or laborers. is yarns, and the
man who can supply them is the best
fellow.
II don't mind,' said Jim, taking his
pipe u Of his mouth. "givin' you a
story, but l feel kind o. backward
about it, seem I'm the hero OF it. and
there's a heroine
Well. now, we like that said one
of the party. Boys. we're goin' to get
a love story out o. Jim. and he's to be
the lover"
Jim put his pipe back into his mouth
and said nothing more. 1t was evil
dent hat he had been scared of. But
after a good deal of coaxing he was
persuaded and started in:
1T was when l vas prospectin'
along the creek, the first of on the
gold fever in these parts. Most o. the
boys was washin' for gold right here
on the creek, but some of us lit out to
see what we could git furder up
where Georgetown is now. l camped
one night on the side Of the divide
and was Weakened toward mornin' by
shots fired down In the valley below
me. l started up and listened. 1t was
just comm dawn, and everything ex
cept an occasional shot was still as
the stars fadin' above that no mar
has ever heard n sound come from.
Thinks /. reckon I'll just drop dowr
there and see what's goin' on. So
TUX my rifle and meandered dowr
among rocks and trees till / come Il
the edge of a clearin'. BY this time
1t was gettin' light enough TO see. ana

men. There was q pile o. dirt beside
a hole in the ground, and the man ant
woman was firm from behind the pile

man and the woman had been diggin
for gold, and the others was CLAIM
