From all the wealth of new clothes
this spring it is a trying experience
to select something truly representa-
tive. Since the advent of sport clothes
into the realm of fashion the problem
is even more difficult. The craze for
outdoor sports determines the popular
ity of the separate skirt.
These are shown in brllinat shades
of linen, jersey cloth. corduroy and
tweed. severely tailored and trimmed
with pockets and pearl buttons. Oar
ing color combinations are achieved in
many of the new sport skirts. Then
there are pretty separate skirts of taf-
feta for afternoon wear. The one shown
in the sketch is Il particularly pretty
model seen in one of the shops. 1t is

hasn't found Mr.. Quack, well tell her
what we are going to do and what she
must do. She must swim right up the
Big River keeping out in the middle.
where she will be safe. If there are
any hunters hiding along the bank
they will see her and then they won't
shoot Blacky or me, because they will
keep hoping that Mrs. Quack will swim
near enough for them to shoot her.
Blacky will fly along over one bank of
the Big River and l will do the same
over the other bank, keeping as nearly
opposite Mrs. Quack as we can. Being
up in the air that way and looking
down, we will be able to see the hunt
ers and also Mr.. Quack if he is hiding
among the rushes. Are you quite sure
that Mrs Quack will come back to the
Smiling Pool tonight?"
She said she would" replied Peter.

THE SWEET VOICE.

The most telling charm girl can
have is a sweet voice. and yet how
often. alas. is the quality of the voice
utterly ignored by young people. One
hears the terrible twang Indigenous to
this country issuing from kissable
coral lips. hears maids in the finest
raiment speaking with the hoarseness
of ravens or with voices as badly man
aged as those OF monkeys. Yet there
are elocutionists for training the voice
to honeyed notes. and the owner of
the dulcet voice is a power in every
circle Of society. For although the
voice is the easiest Of all the points
of woman's beauty to train into ways
Of loneliness, 1T generally happens that
the low. exquisite-timbered and beau
tifully used voice goes with the su-
perfor nature.
