of an all-black costume on so young
girl.
The bodice was made in the 1880
style, with quaint little quilting of
black net over white chiffon at the
front. The sleeves were very short
and pulled out, and the jacket was
boned up like a corselet. 1t would
have been a real peasant blouse il it
laced up the front. The silk had no
finish ON the shoulders but a coarse
picot edging.
1t must have taken at least five
yards of taffeta to make that skirt, as
it fell in large folds at the bottom,
aud was extremely short All down
the front were little black taffeta ro-
settles, and the hem was secured by a
rope Of the same material, instead of
a stitching. This was a very good
idea, as taffeta splits so where it is
stitched. liked the dansant and the

Billy, I've often meant to ask you why
you always eat corn. Why don't you
fish for crabs, as some of your rela-
lions do?"
Because / never knew they did"
replied Billy, turning back to talk,
"and anyhow, don't know as l think
so much of what my relations do. How
do they get them?"
Mr. Owl seemed to know that Billy
meant to get the crabs, not the rela-
lions, and he explained all about how
raccoons elsewhere sometimes fish for.

corn. Billy was interested, and
thought fishing might be fun. So
would you believe it?-that wise Mr..
Owl took Billy .Raccoon down to the
river and taught him how to fish!
And, stranger still, Billy found he liked
fishing; and every night thereafter he
went to the cornfield for corn and
then to the brook for crab dessert.
Wasn't he funny old Billy?

nursemaids are flirting rapturously

Beside the Round Pond, the little
boys are sailing their miniature
yachts, and the little girls are feeding
the ducks very carefully with crusts

And everybody is gloriously happy.
For it is spring time, and how can you
possibly be anything else than happy
under the circumstances?
Springtime in Scotland has an en-
ehantment all it's own. 1t is very
bracing, breezy, rainy, wind-swept
and sometimes very long, for dark

o'clock. Out in the country the color
ing of the woods and the fields and
the hills is wonderful Browns and
yellows override the green's. and the
early green is very tender. For Scot
land has a climate all its own, and you
need to be fully Scotch to appreciate
it. 1t can rain steadily for three
weeks in Scotland in the springtime.
But then the rain is very gentle, very
fine, and there are intervals of sun
light, with wonderful rainbows shin

BLoUSES THIS SPRING.

Just now seems to be the psycholog-
zeal moment in the minds of most
women for the consideration and plan
ming of their blouses. A breathing
space is afforded between the wild
winter and the early spring styles.
The newest blouses are different in
many ways from those Of last season.
In the first place they are for the most
part high necked. Some really hand
some models have been created, some
through the use of separate stocks
and collars, and some through con-
tinuation of the blouse itself into the
collar.
There are many rumors of some
radical changes, such as back button
ing, hraiding on lingerie goods, stiff
shoulder straps. and stiff cartridge
belts. Embroidery, however. will be
an emphatic note.
There are some delightful white
models already shown with their fine
hand tucks, their open stitchery in the
seams, and their tiny pearl buttons.
A high collar of satin or tafreta gives
them q -dressy touch and widens their
scope Of serviceability. The sleeves
for the most part are long and set into
regulation armholes. the wrist often
finished with finest filet lace
Some of the white crepe de chine
waists are embroidered in the Bel
gian blue and then others are en-
broideTed in the black-not heavily
embroidered to give the garment a
somber look. but with enough of a
touch to give it chic and tone.
mSdistinct contrast to the tailored
blouse. which is to be widely featured
this spring, there is the new blouse
with the sloping shoulder. The major
ity OF these are Of silk and to be worn
more as part of one piece gar
ment; that Is, with some simple skirt
for 30 house rather than With the
tailored suit for the street.

have an ecstatic ringi Dear, light
hearted, beautiful Paris! Out in the
little cafes and tables are being laid
for Monsieur and Madame, and there
is NO manner of doubt that Monsieur
and Madame will turn up! For spring
in Paris is very gay as well as very
beautiful.
One cannot help being optimistic in
the spring. Only the very bitter heart
can keep from rejoicing. For when
everything around is smiling and love
ly, when everything is waking to ex-
quisite beauty and to new life and
love, happiness springs afresh in the
human heart.
The lighter side of life comes in
with the spring, too. We feel child
ishly ready to be amused, foolishly
glad over nothing at all. Things that
would have passed unnoticed or that
even might have annoyed us before
are matters for entertainment now,
They divert us.
Beginnings are always delightful
and mysterious and alluring. Therein
lies the whole secret and charm Of the
spring. For to every one comes the
idea of fresh start, the need for put
ting forth ones strongest effort, the
desire for doing ones best and par
ticularly of Selling happiness for ones
own. 1t isn't difficult to be happy in
the springtime, somehow. And happi-
ness is the very essence of life.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS
BILLY RAccooN's MIDNIGHT
FEAST.

Billy Raccoon stuck his head out of
the hole in the tree where he lived
| and looked around Darkness brooded
over over the forest, such black darkness
that one would think Billy couldn't
see a thing. Evidently he thought so,
too, for he was not content with look
ing; he cooked his head to one side
and listened carefully.
Not a danger around" he whis-
pered to himself, after he had listened
minute; perfectly safe, perfectly
safe! Now l can go out and search
for food. And l need it-never in my
life was I so hungry" AS that was
what he said every night when he
started out from his tree, it isn't like
ly that he was as near starvation as
he thought! But at any rate, he was
hungry enough to make himself risk
the dangers and search for food.
Out from his hole he crept, down
the tree he crawled slowly, carefully,
his ears pricked all the while for any
unusual sound.
But none came. Thus treasured, he
left the tree behind and started for
the cornfeld.
He had often congratulated himself
on his good sense in living near the
cornfield Why he had but very
little way to go, till he could crawl
under the tall rail fence, and there he

there was not!
Down under the fence he ducked

Now, what's that?" he said to him
self. Il better wait under the fence
till I am sure it's some friend OF
mine" So he nuggled down quiet
and still and awaited further develop
ments.
WHO'D? Who-o?" asked mournful
voice in a tree just over the fence.
That's a joke on me-" laughted Bill
ly, as he crept on out from under the
fence. Here that was old Mr.. Owl.

cornfeld, stopping only to call softly
over his shoulder, "Good evening to
yon, Mr.. Owl; this is fine night
And WHO'D, WHO'D are your" asked
the owl sadly.

Billy Raccoon pleasantly, land I'm on

Hearing that, Mr.. Owl dropped his

April is here, and with it comes the
spring. And, although volumes and
volumes have been written about the
wonder and the glory and the eternal
thrill of each new spring, the story
never seems to grow old. For every
spring the sap is rising in the trees,
the world is waking up from its long
winter sleep and life and love are stir
rinng everywhere.
In every country of the world each
spring arrives with the same sort of
glory and wonder And yet there is
a difference, too.
The English spring is glorious. Out
in the country the hedges are mass
of vivid green, the birds are nesting
in the trees and caroling their hearts
out in an ectasy of song. And every
thing is growing, growing, growing.

times for several days. But it is
fine, gentle rain, that seems 10 fall
from heaven as a sort of benediction.
One can see the little green things
lift their faces up under it, and grow
taller and greener and stronger.
In London, spring is very wonder
full, too There is something intoxi-
eating about it. The days are long
and the light is very clear. There is
a sort of thrill in the air, kind of
that is hard to define. The
women are all wearing their smartest

garden about four and one-half feet
wide-its length, of course, depending
on your space.
First prepare the soil-dig out your
garden about two feet deep and put
some well-rotted manure on bottom;
now spade the dirt back over this, and
wait week or two before planting,
hoping in the meantime for a few
showers, which help enrich the soil,
and then you are ready for planting.
Remember, this is to be garden. Of

find very successful way to plan
color arrangement, which always
makes a more beautiful effect is to

select your seeds, always considering

of this and you have no idea the pleas
