And very appropriately accompany
ing this comes the prominence given
to pockets on skirts for street wear.
In these fine tailoring plays a most
important part. They are all cut ankle
length, and the attention given to
snappy footwear is not less than that
bestowed upon the skirt. Separate
skirts are worn with tailored waists
of crepe-de-chine.
In either tailored or afternoon
gowns there are short Jackets and
long coats to choose from. The short
waist line hardly admits a rival in
popularity, and perhaps this accounts
for the lack in number of designs
which were expected to feature mil
ltary ideas.
The short jacket that completes the
pretty gown pictured here is covered
with braiding in self-color. II is just
the touch required to enrich the de-
sign. Worn over a lacy bodice and
with a flower-trimmed hat the toilette
leaves nothing to be desired. 1t ia

HERE are three hats which stand for
III three very distinct types in the
new millinery for spring, But they
which mark the incoming styles.
They are deliberately made and they
are considerably trimmed. There is
reaction away from the severely
plain hats with a single and some
times minute decoration, such as
grew tiresome during the past winter.
At the left of the group is quaint
and picturesque bonnet made OF black
horsehair braid. Narrow black velvet
ribbon and clusters of garden roses
and forget-me-nots are used for the
trimming You cannot imagine any
thing which completes the costume
more tremendously, when II is one OF
those wide-skirted colonial looking
affairs that are so prettily developed
in taffeta
At the right Is a pretty street turban
made OF braid In satin straw, and hav-
ing a soft silk crown. An embroidered
band about the coronet is bordered
with very narrow velvet ribbon and
short streamers fall from a dlminutive
fiat bow at the back At the front a
big silk pompon supports long slen-
der feather which fronts the weather
with amazing audacity,
One OF those models which is ex-
pected TO do duty both for street and
other wear Is shown at the center OF
the group, It is made of crepe draped
over a light frame. The brim is cley-
erly managed so that an outline OF
four points results, Midway between
these little bouquet of roses and
small flowers is set In cluster OF
leaves. This is one OF those rare hats
that are suited to Older as well as
younger matrons.

AMERICAS DEBT TO IRELAND
immigrants Have Wrought Well in the
Wonderful Development Of Their
Adopted Land.

Out OF Europe, for more than two
centuries there have been flowing
streams of humanity, always hasten

river, toward the west. And for more
than one century at least those who
earliest found their place in this once
welcoming continent have been star
ing with open OF covert contempt at
those who have followed them.
Until now. when our national intelli-
gence has broadened beyond the pur-
blind, narrow vision that could see in
an immigrant only his ignorance. his
poverty and the uncouthness which, In
the land he has deserted. may be the
best, approved mode OF living for peo-
pie of his class.
We are looking at the essentials now
--at the brain and the Drawn, the
health and the lourage; at the race,
the national history, the adaptiveness
of all this raw material for citizenry.

fruits OF the lessons we have learned

their own inherent strength, rise to the

what has always been their conspi-

No single stream that trickled first
and then came in flood had to fight its

the development OF the nation, he

their adoption-more respected than

The federal government has placed
revenue of one dollar and ten cents
on each gallon of liquor. II 1t ended

facturer turns to his clerk and says.
