TNHERE is no combination more
fashionable or which gives
smarter effect than black and
white. Here is gown which is made
Of charmeuse satin over striped silk
and which is exceedingly interesting
for many reasons. The haring tunic
that is arranged over the skirt 10 the
depth Of a yoke is very much liked
The blouse is made with raglan sleeves
and the contrast of the materials is
singularly effective. Altogether the
gown is one Of unusual smartness, vet
It is perfectly simple. The blouse
and the skirt are joined one 10 the
other and closed at the front, and
here buttons covered with the material
are used for the purpose. There are
a great many ways in which the de-
sign can be varied. Plain French serge
or gabardine could be used with
striped or with plaid, or broadcloth
could be combined with velvet or
with charmeuse satin II a plain color
is liked throughout, or plain material
used in place Of the black and with
some color substituted for the stripe
would be pretty. Il is a season of
combinations and fabrics are woven
with that fact in view, so it is an easy
matter TO find two that will harmonize.
Among the pretty materials for indoor
are the new crepes, and one Of these
would be charming used in place
Of the plain black material with char
meuse satin substituted for the striped
silk, and If the dark color is not
becoming, a little chemisette could be
made Of white for white is generally
becoming and is correct with every
combination.

And this was the reason that long ago
In this kingdom by the sea

And bore her away from me,

Yes that was the reason tas all men know,

A Modern Miss
Her Strange Ways

She was coming up on the train
from Washington, and they-her father,
mother and two girl friends-sat in the
seats near the end of the pullman. The
most important figure of the party was
little Miss Sixteen, as a neighbor called
her She seemed to dominate the rest
with her assertive young personality.
Now. Daddy, don't forget that we
change at Philadelphia" were her first
words. as she piled on his hands her
wraps magazines, candy and those of
her girl friends as well.
She settled herself in her chair and
took out one magazine which she had
saved for her own perusaL In few
minutes a dun thud was heard, and the
papers were scattered on the floor
You might know Daddy picked out
this magazine" was her next remark,
Its perfectly fierce. Why didn't you
select something interesting? This is the
limit. nothing here but war!"
For 10 or Is minutes after this the
topic of Philadelphia's torrid summers
was discussed. Awakened to eloquence
on the subject, Daddy" innocently de-
clared that when he was in this city
one day last summer the Thermometer
registered 1l4l
A look of tender pity overspread little
Miss Sixteen's pretty face. Nov, Daddy,

grees. Nobody ever heard OF any such
temperature as ll4 He gets ideas like
that, and then thinks they're true, she
added. evidently TO make excuses TO her
friends for poor Dad.
After this her parents talked together
for some time, and the girls chatted about
theatres and their mutual friends until
dinner time came. When the porter
came through with his first call to din

Come, Daddy, I'm hungry. Besides,

MANY FOODSTUFFS
DECLINE IN PRICE
Vegetables and Eggs Show De-
crease-Meats and Fish Are
Stationary.

Warm weather has brought slight
drop in the prices of vegetables, from
the aristooratic strawberry and as
paragus to the ordinary onion and potato.
Eggs have dropped from to 10 cents a.
dozen In the past month, while meats and
fish are about stationary. Lamb, how
ever, took decided jump because of the
scarcity of live stock. This Is expected
to be only temporary and will not affect
the retail price.
The spring-like weather has increased
the activity about the markets, both in
retail and wholesale business. Even in
yesterdays heavy rain trading was very
brisk. Much interest centres about the
fine, heavy catches of fresh fish which,
from point of quality, are the best this
year.

Reading Terminal, the Farmers Market,

my home, invited him to Join us. What
do you think his answer was7 You'll
never guess. It was really dreadfully
rude. He said he had no time to waste
on the silly chatter of women, and that
If there was anything under the sun he
particularly detested It was these gossipy
gatherings, where no sound was heard
save the eternal cackle of the female
voice! Could you imagine any answer
more appallIngly rude7
But strange to say, from that mo-
ment I started to take the very keenest
interest in Jim. determined that 1
would make him change his opinions of
women Just as soon as ever ] could man
age 1t. His indifference piqued all the
vanity in my nature.
"Of course, I didn't realize then that
was falling in love with him. My idea
was to make him fall in love with me, and
then turn calmly around and retaliate
for that rude speech of his.
But when l at last got him figuratively
and literally at my feet, found that l
didn't 1T the least want to retaliate. For
had fallen in love with him. And it was
entirely due to his former rudeness, too.
Isn't that extraordinary"
! have known women to idolize the odd
est little specimens and the veriest
apologies for men that ever walked this
earth. Everywhere one goes, when GER
tain engagements and marriages are
spoken of, one hears the time-worn
phrase, what can she see in him?"
But see something in him she GER
tainly does. Yes, she may be living in
dream and a rude awakening may be
coming, but 1t is a dream that to her is
very delightful and pleasing all the same.
That this should be the case is best.
For after all the old saying Is very true,
