A FORECAST Of SPRING
AND SUMMER FABRICS
Waists Are Made Severely PanWhe Skirts Full ane
Belts and Peasants Basques Skirts First Style
Wool Fabrics for Spring are largely Plain

New York, Feb. 26.-The spring has
a variety of styles which run the gam
ut of those we have had, only in
new forms, and those inspired by
Russia, France, Belgium and Holland.
The full skirt, however, is without
doubt, first in style, whether inspired
by peasant skirts or Victorian crino-
line. 1t may be cut circular, gored
with as many cores as nine, straight
pleated or gathered, the requirement
being that it flares at the bottom.
The Dutch costumes are particular.
ly suited to the young girl. They
often have a broad strap over the
shoulders, with a blouse buttoning
straight down the center front. The
skirt is full, with slight bullying at
the hips. Sometimes these dresses
are topped with short Dutch jacket.
White or Delft blue are favored colors
for this style of dress.

The Home Circle
BY Celia Hord KENNY

tor and the stage carpenters, all of
them hirelings wearing the shabbiest
of working clothes. and invited them
all to supper. OF course they accepted.
They were all hungry and glad to get
free meal.
Manuel would not wait for them to
do any smartening up. They looked
like a gang of street laborers when
they followed him into the street and
then into the hotel banqueting hall in
which the Colonel and his wife and
guests were holding forth in great ar
ray. And, Of course, when they saw
Manuel enter they at once pretended
that they thought he had got an invi-
tation to their feast and fastened to
express regret at his delayed arrival,
and to beseech him to sit at their table.
But Manuel kept declining all their at.
tention very suavely and gracefully.
He could not accept their hospitality
because he had an engagement with
other friends whom he could not dis
appoint and the Colonel's party were
aghast at seeing him seat all the gang
of stage hands around the other ban
quet table in the same room and pre-
side over them as their host. OF course
the Colonel's guests saw the point of
the affair and of course they were Sc
cretly amused. And of course the Col
onel and his wife had to struggle
against greater odds to make their
party a success and of course Manuel's
popularity thereafter was greater than
ever.-C. H. K.

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON THE WAR.

SAnOJNAI Ij66ONS On HE WAX.
That it looks as if the Scriptures are
being fulfilled, and the end of the
world is approaching, was the state
ment of His Eminence Cardinal Glib
bons at his residence in Baltimore,
during general discussion of the war.
"Have you any news to give out?"
he was asked. News" he repeated,
hesitating for moment. "No, think
not, but the news coming from Eu-
rope is terrible. That awes me. It
is beyond our realization. We cannot
grasp its magnitude, or what it means.
It is terrible, horrible, indeed.
think for moment what this war
means, if you can. cannot. When
one life is lost on board ship, all the
country is startled. When the Titanic
sank with more than 1000 of it's pas
sengers, the world was Mortified. That
was a thing that occurred only once.
Loss of life in great numbers occurs
only once in a while. But now, in
this greatest war of the world, thou
sand, nay, 10000 lives are being sac.
rificed every hour the war continues"
"The Washington Post" says:
When such distinguished prelate as
Cardinal Gibbons, in the course of a
general discussion on the war, makes
the statement that existing conditions
are in striking accord with scriptural
predictions as to the character of af
fairs that will prevail when this little
planet is due to end its turbulent
career, the tendency to scott is checked
at it's inception"

THE REToRT COURTEOUS.

Manuel was a great social favorite
in stylish Mexican city. He was a
witty dinner guest, good dancer and
a general promoter of sociability He
attended ladies at opera parties with
unequaled grace and he was an ideal
best man at a wedding. He was
moving spirit at every affair and that
was why he was chosen to drill the
actors in an amateur play that was to
be performed with great eclat by lead
ing social lights. The caste of the play
called for two feminine parts and these
were to be filled by two reigning bellies,
sisters, whose father was Colonel
who was good hand at playing effect.
i've social cards. Under the tutoring
of Manuel the rehearsals for the play
proceeded with much enthusiasm. The
weeks of practice and of preparation
went forward most encouragingly and
Manuel's status as Zion" grew high
er and higher.
Just before the play was given the
Colonel and his wife, whose daughters
were to be leading figures, sent out in
vitations to all the actors to a formal
banquet to take place at stylish hotel
Immediately after the play. Like many
people who overdo style, the Colonel
and his wife forgot-blandly for
got a very important thing. They
forgot to send an invitation to Manuel
He perceived the oversight, of course
but gave out no evidence of feeling
aggrieved. He continued his coaching
of the players with as much zest as be
fore. All he did by way of rejoinde,
was to go to the hotel that had got the
order for the banquet and order an
other banquet exactly like it to bt

Coloners gorgeous spread. Expens,

taliation.
The play was given with all the sue
cess and social effect desired. The act
ors were applauded to the echo and a
its close they all triumphantly accom-
panied the Colonel and his wife to tn
hotel banquet while the audience sool
left the theatre empty. Then Manue

Bolero effects are to be seen in
waists as we'll as in jackets and will,
no doubt, be particularly smart for
summer dresses. Linen, pique and
poplin being materials which will
make up into stunning little suits with
coat on this style.
Severity seems to be the strong note
for waists, but they must have particu-
lar style, which is, of course, hard to
attain, although it lies greatly in the
placing of the trimming. Buttons are
all that is considered correct on many
of them.
The illustration shows a dress with
a plain but smartly cut waist button
ing up the front with cloth-covered
buttons. The side pieces of the waist
continue on to the skirt and form a
side yoke. The completed costume
has an unusual style and charm which
is accumulated by tan prunella cloth
in which it is made.
An extremely cunning little hat is
worn with this dress, showing sailor
shape with a rather high crown mar
rowing slightly at the top. 1t is made
in sand-colored taffeta and trimmed
with single band of chocolate-colored
velvet ribbon, ending in short stream
ers in the back. 1t has very good
style and in conservative good taste, a
quality which American women de-
mand before all others.
The second illustration shows q
dress with the ever-fashionable sur
plice closing waist. The skirt is
gored with the stylish flare at the
lower edge and the waist is cut slight
ly short. The braiding on the waist
and skirt is done with the round sill
braid, which is having a vogue ever
stronger than the soutache braid.
The separate blouse is made on thu
same severe lines of the bodices O

THE VIRTUE OF BEING WELL.
BRED.

IL
BRED.
Pollteness is not simply conventional
good form to be put on or off accord
Ing to occasion. All who assume i,
with the notion that it can be dropped
at will are really worse than people
who never show good manners at all
The absolute boor is at least honest
and does not trick others into believ.
Ing he has qualities which he really
does not own. The real principle of
being we'll bred is nothing more nor
less than loving the truth, correspond.
ing with it through an Unborn sense
OF self respect which will give allie.
glance to nothing except the truth.
And thus self respecting love of
the truth will always admit the proper
claims of others and refuse their un,
deserved claims. 1t will never snatch
an unearned credit and it will always
assert a true credit. 1t will always
admit a sincere apology and it will
always rebuke-by action and attitude
1t not by speech-an unrectified fault.
True politeness will cordially enter
tain an honorable guest and the same
true politeness-which is simply a
respect for what is right; will order a
misdoer from the house. True polite
ness may raise its voice very excit-
ably in its defense of innocence and it
may plead the cause of right in char
acteristic terms. The only thing that
would make such speech rudeness
would be in its being applied unjustly.
Suaveness of speech, poise, elegance
of diction, polished address, distinc-
ton of bearing, noble assumption of
place and of occasion, all of these are
characteristics of a gentleman, all of
them should be cultivated to an emf
nent degree, but they are far more
than drawing room accomplishments.
They have no special time nor place.
They are part Of the gentleman in all
that he does and wherever he is. They
are simply expressions of his love
OF truth and self adjustment to his
sense of it. Everyone of them would
be called into play in an emergency.
The test of all real truth-loving in cul-
ture as in religion, is in it's courage.
1t is therefore real politeness that
will gainsay'a misstatement and defend
the right side of a mooted point. And
such real politeness is virtue of the
highest price.

Net in black over white satin or taffeta
as we'll as white and colored nets are
very smart for elaborate frocks. Pink
and blue nets make delightful eve
ming frocks and are trimmed with jet
The styles of the summer dresses
make it a certainty that embroidery
and lace flouncing will be used great
deal in their development. The EN-
broidery founcings have background
Of voile and crepe as we'll as very
sheer lawn and batiste. Organdy, too,
is embroidered and makes light and
airy founcing for summer dresses.
The Belgian lace centers are pro-
ducing no lace and the French very
little, so most of the imported lace
comes from Plauen or St. Gall. Chan
tilly, Spanish and Lire lace are among
the more expensive ones, while shad
ow lace may be had in wide variety
of designs and prices, and it's light
and delicate designs make exquisite
frocks for evening wear.
Belts and girdles are forming an
important feature on the gowns of to.
day. Some are plain, and of the fabric
of the dress they are worn with, others
are of contrasting material and EN-
broidered richly. Some of the girdles
are extended into what seems like
peasants basques, or wide girdles, lac
ing up the back or front, and pointed
or rounding, made of contrasting sill
or of velvet.
Ribbons, especially of velvet, are
having strong vogue, as they seen
to belong to the crinoline period from
which so many spring dresses are de
signed.
The hats of the year continue t.
be mostly small, although few larg
ones are to be seen, and very smar

J popular. These are in different mest
