Smart Costume.

One of the smartest costumes for
Young women, exhibited on living
model at recent opening, was OF very
pale tan worsted and mohair mixture,
made with short, fare skirt. revealing
the new slim black leather pump, guilt
less of buckle or bow, and stockings
of natural silk. A little coat, button
ing high to the throat, was sur
mounted by a very tall choker collar
of white organdie with points reaching
up over the cheeks and a broad STOCK
Of black satin holding it in place. The
coat had a belt and plated coattal'
at the back. This knowing spring cos
| tune was completed by a tiny black
satin hat with slashed sailor brim and
a floating veil of black mesh with al
allover vinet pattern.

EXPLAINING DREAD OF DEATH
susnension of All Familiar Activities
Is Something the Mind Instructive
~ Shrinks From.

It is the variety Of experience which
makes life interesting-toil and rest,
main and relief, hope and satisfaction,
danger and security. II we once re-
move the idea Of vicissitude from life,
It all becomes an indolent and unfn-
spring affair.
It is the process Of change which is
delightful-the finding out what we
can do and what we cannot-golng
from ignorance to knowledge, from
clumsiness to skill Even our rela-
tons with those whom We love are all
bound up with the discoveries we
make about them, and the degree In
which we can help them and afrect
them.
What the mind instinctively dislikes
IA stationariness; and an existence in
which there was nothing to escape
from. nothing more to hope for, to
learn. to desire, would be frankly un
.endurable.
The reason why we dread death Is
because it seems to be suspension o.
all our familiar activities. 1t woulc
he terrible to have nothing but mem
DRY to depend upon.
The only use of memory is that i
distracts us little from present con
ditions If they are dull, and it is onl!
too true that the recollection in sol
row of happy things is torture OF tn
worst kind.

But when Clara had decked herself
cut in the pink satin and spangles, and
her cousins had heard her request,
the heavens of their wrath descended
upon her. They were Mortified and

their own party dresses, and Clara

MAY DAY.

on the first day of May in the old
fashioned country town, the children
used TO expect a half holiday. 1t was
quite customary for the teacher to
take the youngsters to walk. for gath
ering of flowers, and observations OF
birds. trees. and vegetation.
The twentieth century youngster is
too sophisticated for such simple joys.
The boys are out on the back lot play
ing ball and whooping like Indians.
The small girls are designing new 1915
style gowns for their dolls. while the
big girls are having formal teas.
In the old world May day was a
time Of popular merry making. For
a young woman 10 be chosen queen OF

her beauty OF feature. was a greater
triumph than anything that could be
bought with money. Light hearted
jewellers gathered around the May
pole. and the lads and Iassies footed it
