 HIGH WAIST LINES WILL PREDOMI TIE
Rockwell & Forester's Assort- ment of Spring Gowns At
 tract. Attention.

Unusually wide skirts, high waist lines and choice materials predon1i- nate in the spring opening Of Rock well & Foresteris fashionable cloth ;ing shop.

DO FLIRTS' ENGAGEMENTS
 LAST?

.sWhatsoever cometh as cloud be- r tween
 The eye Of faith and things unseen. Causing that bright world to disap-
 pear,
 Or seem less lovely, or it's hopes less That Is our idol. though it bear
 Affection's impress or dey6tlon's air.,,s
 The girl who laughs at the ifnplica- ton that she is 1irt and sr'at tler seems to enjoy the so-called distincN ton is blessed to have yeing men think she is popular and can have her pick among the beaux It is her delight to- have it understood that she acan play with masculine hearts as long as she chooses and send then Eadrift at will.
 It should be understood when d young man makes love to a girl she certainly gives him encouragement. When she has three or four strings to. her bow, she leads each one to believe that he is the favored suitor. She en- joys seeing his anxiety. She has the time of her life. running around, tell ing this one and that one how deeply infatuated this man or that one is with her She watches with delight the growing hatred of the rivals for each other. and her expectation that it will lead to a royal battle is always at fever heat. If, perchance, one suitor is bolder than the rest. insisting upon either being accepted or dis- missed, she accepts his ring merely for sport, having no intention of we'd ding him.
 An engagement means nothing to her. She considers it as merely a thread which can easily be snapped lasunder- Even with the betrothal ring on her finger, she cannot resist the temptation of setting her cap for all the eligible men who cross her path Her love of conquest is too strong to be easily disIodged from her nature
 The spirited young man will not stand for flirting. The consequence is the engagement is soon broken But what does my lady care? She is fond 1 of using that old worn-out phrase There's as good fish in the sea as ever came out of ii" It does not break her heart, no matter how many lovers es- cape from her net. i When once the habit of flirting fas- tens itself. upon girl. notssonIy1 does liner reI1 ut ation@ s1ffeg bl1d she loses that sweet maiden modesty which is her greatest charm
 It is a dirt who usually drags her woes at last through the divorce courts. It is not until she finds the first wrinkle upon her faeeI and the first silver thread among the gold of her hair that the truth bursts upon her-sne is no longer pleasing to youn g men. She is all that the middle-aged
 man steers clear of. Her reign over masculine hearts is well nigh over
 When the Ire has reached this stage | she realizes what a wealth Sof truth
 and good advice there was fnasthe po- cts words, Choose one, and to that lone be true.''
 Once her attractions have waned the
 hirt's reign is over. If she has wealth she may marry a man who has no
 means of support and who is looking
 for rich wife to support him. None lother would trust his future happiness
 to hirt- Thus it is the engagements
 of such girl are usually of short

THE GIRL AND THE FAN.


 (Iines to be sent with a fan. Dear gir15 when a maid of Madrid Grows weary and longs to be rid Of some wooer distastefuI She is not ungraceful, Emo$ions are carefully hid Butt she bans the unfortunate man By closing, completely, her fan. Or if she is half-way inclined To be of a lenient mind. Thro low-lying lashes A signal she flashes With meaning quite easy to find. And shows. with mischievous laugh, Her weapon extended at half Again. if he seems in her eyes A truly desirable prize, She smiles7-so they say In a dangerous way In a way that disruption defies; And blesses the fortunate man With a. view of her fu1I-opened fan. And should you be tempted hereby The art Of filtration to try, Recollect the beginner (Poor struggling sfnner) Must mind both her fan and her eye, And carefully measure your man Before you exhibit this fan.

In the darker materials there is a. handsome street costume of dark blue serge with dark blue, change able satin stripe taffeta- The two Iyand a decided feature are the gold covered ball buttons.
 Coats of all descriptions from the bright coIored golfine coats to the roomy military automobile garments, which are of cravenette and are de- cided1y comfortable looking are shown.
 A separate skirt of black taf1eta is fashioned on the corkscrew model and sells for very reasonable price. It promises to be much worn this spring with the new blouses.
 These new blouses are very dis tinctive and come in linen, georgette crepe and crepe de chine. Others of more delicate materials are also shown In place of the sweater coat 1t will be fash1 h1onable this season to wear a. silk coat, of the finest pure spun silk, which may be obtained in various delicate and bright shades.
 Among the simpler gowns there are g. number in various colors, taf- feta, and silk poplin seeming to pre- dominate in the line of materials. A particularly quaint costume was of a full skirt, 8 pleated peplum and a. narrow green leather belt.
 Then there are numerous others of which space will not permit de- scription. One of the daintiest of these is the little Castle gown, of the style worn by Mrs. Castle in her dancing, and the old fashioned gown of Dresden lowered taffeta the skirt of which measures five yards about the hem. Tiny ruffles and 1 other trimmings reminiscent of grandmother's youth are found on ] this gown.
