The ostrich boa has met with an
unanticipated but enthusiastic revival
Of popularity, and seems destined to
outdistance other kinds of fluffy and
airy neckwear. The unusually cool
weather OF spring has made some sort
Of protection almost a necessity, and
there is no denying the becomingness
Of soft feathers about the throat
White fox, red fox and light gray or
tan fur neckpieces one sees with the
most summery OF white turbans and
hower-trimmed hats. This Vogua is
probably a reflection from the west
ern coast, for visitors to the Panama
exposition have found the weather
cool and everyone indulging in the
San Francisco privilege OF wearing
furs with summer gowns.
The feather boa Of today is short
as to length, long as to fiber, and liked
best in white, natural color or two
toned combinations. Occasionally a
boa more than long enough to lie
loosely about the throat is seen, but
not often They all fasten with bows
Of soft messaline ribbon, apparently,
or the exception is so rare as TO
prove the rule.
Very smart sets consisting OF boa
and ostrich-trimmed hats are shown,
and there are great numbers OF cock
AIDES, fans, and other fancifuI orna-
ments made OF ostrich to be used on
midsummer hats

Three boas are shown here, one in
white, one in the natural tan and
white color of the feathers. and the
third in black tipped with white In
the last the white flue is tied or pasted
on to the colored hue, and there is
an endless variety in combinations to
choose from in boas made in this way
But the boa may be had now in any
color, even the most unusual new tfnts
and shades.
It is to be remembered that a bit OF
rich and fluffy neekwear presupposes
a hat to correspond. In the group
pictures here a white fabric hat IS
shown trimmed with a pattern applied
in small black beads about the brim
edge II has a collar of white ribbon
with small squares OF embroidery in
black, and a white rose is mounted
near the edge OF the front brim. The
second bead-trimmed hat shows 4 re-
versaI OF color; white beads are ap-
piled to a black hemp shape with fac
ing Of white Grape.

Poke Bonneta

Adorable poke bonnets in the same
pretty coloring show to advantage
atop blonde curls, for, unlike our
American kiddies, the bobbed hair ef-
feet is not being worn on the other
side Of the water. The little girls all
have their hair long and flowing over
their shoulders and Of course it curls-

how tiny, spurns the bobbed effect
also, and rears a ciose-cropped little

I told Pop I had no desire to be-

got mad he drank six bottles of beer

Then Hep Hardy dropped in and ten

Jimmy Had Reached the Stage of Boy

Rather Tiresome.


Little Jimmy had reached the con-
clusion that everybody in the world
had kissed him or wanted to badly
He could not help being a boy that
all the ladies wanted to pet and be-

my longed for the day when he would
have a say so in the matter Of being
kissed. One day a famous woman
came to call upon his mother Jimmy
CHANGED to enter the parlor and was
directed by his mother to come up
and see the noted Mrs. So and So.
Jimmy knew what was coming, but
he could not prevent the occurrence
The visitor took him by the hand and
gently gathered him up into her lap,
and as she let him down TO the floor
again she graciously bestowed q kiss
upon his pOUting lips Jimmy Jumped
away from her and began to rub his
lips in a vicious manner.
What, you are not rubbing my kiss
on, my little mani" questioned the
woman Jimmy was puzzled for a
few moments, then replied:
No, ma'am, I'm just rubbing it In,

two hours later they had about 233
children attending the public school
of my medusa oblongata; and every
time school would let out for recess
/ would go up in the air and hit the
ceiling with my Lima.
Before daylight came all these grip
children had graduated from school
and after tearing down the school
house the whole bunch had married
and had large families of their own,
and all hands were out padding their
canoes on my alimentary canal
By nine o'clock that morning there
must have been eighty-f1ve million grip

When Doctor Lesser arrived on the
scene 1 was carrying enough con-
cealed weapons to start something in
Mexico.
The good old pill pusher threw his
saws behind the sofa, put his dip net
on the mantlepiece, and took a fall
out of my pulse.
"Ah!" he said, after he had noted
that my tongue looked like a curry
comb.
"The same to you, Doc" 1 said.
"Ah!" he said, looking hard at the
wall
Say, Doc:" whispered; there's no
use to cut of my leg, because the
germs will hide IN my elbow"

"Surest thing you know" I said.
Have you buzzing in the ears, and

GAY did you ever put on the Cog
giles and go joy riding with an at
tack of the grip?
1t has all other forms Of amusement
hushed to a lullaby-take it from
Uncle Hank.
AS Bad Boy the grip has every
other disease slapped to sobbing
standstill.
It's dollars to pretzels that the grip
germ is the brainiest little bug that
was ever chased by doctor.
1 was sitting quietly at home read
ing Maeterlinck on Auction Bridge
when suddenly began to sneeze like
a Russian regiment answering roll
call.
Friend wife was deep in the mys-
teries of Ibsen's latest achievement,
'The Rise and Fall of the Hobble
Skirt" but she politely acknowledged
my first sneeze with the customary
"Gesundheit!''
Then she trailed along bravely with
her response for ten or fifteen min
utes, but it was no use-I had more
sneezes in my system than there are
"Gesundheits!' in the entire German
nation, including principalities, pos
sessions across the sea, and the Mu-
steal Union.
John" she ventured after a time,
''you are getting a cold!"
I'm not getting it, 1 shifted; 81
have it now"
What mean, contemplate little
creature a grip germ must be. Alb
solutely without any of the finer in
stincts 1t sneaks into peoples sys-
TENS disguised as an ordinary cold.
It isn't on the level like appendicitis
or tnf1ammatory rheumatism, both of
which are brave and fearless and will
walk right up to you and kick you on
the shins, big as you are.
Nobody ever knows just what make
up the grip germs will put on to break
into the human system, but once they
get a foothold in the epiglottis moth
ing can remove them except inward
applications of dynamite
The grip germ hates the idea OF
race suicide.

sneezed myself into a condition OF
pale blue profanity that a newIy-mar
ried couple of grip germs had taken
a notion to build nest somewhere on
the outskirts OF my solar plexus, and
