POise.
There Is woman up in New York
State. who is pleading for her life.
She Is accused of manslaughter, and
took the stand last Tuesday in her
own defense, explaining just what
she did on the night OF the death Of
Ballou, her elderly suitor.
Assuming that she Is innocent her
actions following the discovery of the
body of Ballou in the hall landing
just below her apartments were any
thing but coherent. If she had act
ed with common sense and decision,
had she notified some one else OF her
discovery of Ballou instantly. she
would have a much clearer case.
But when she found Ballou, she
carried him down stairs, and then
returned through the hall. touching
and taking his hat, carrying it up
to her apartment, and then paced
up and down the room and cried.
How many women would have act
ed otherwise? How many women
have ever prepared themselves for
emergencies? This is only one case
where poise enters into the question
Of woman's reputation, and per-
haps her life.

mothers were called upon day in and

NEW YORK, March 19.-Oddity seems
to be the best commodity Of the sea-

perfect impunity.
Beginning at the top notch and work

Even topping the hat for oddity. how

Quintessence of quaintness. They are

the square parasol adds a new odd note

parasol of net a-fluff with countless
ruffles or dainty-hued satin RIBBON.

things under the sun, while the peeled
hair of the French roll coiffure con-

Then there are the endless odd varie.

oddness to choose from. 1t does seem
queer now doesn't 1t, that some women
are forced to wear just one earring at
a time to attract attention.
Just while yellow has always been

count for now that it has been well
coined into the arms Of fashion as one
of the most charming tints of the sea
son. Sunshine, beaten gold and fields

lovely things 1t now reminds us OF.
Exquisite are the yellow crepe de

and crepe lingerie in maize tints.
