UGLlNESS OF PAST BECOMES
 BEAUTY OF PRESENT.
Art of Paris Is Making Even Worsted Roses Fit for Gowns of Silver Lace-Parrot Passes
 as Novelty.

A young girl, dressed in frilled Bellevue avenue at Newport one day last summer, created a sensation by carrying small bird of brilliant plu- mage in fragile gilt cage swung by a ring from her little finger.
 The city by the sea, in which sim plicity is exploited with the same kind of artificiality as it was by Marie An toinette at the Petit Trianon, came very near being actually simple for lack of incentive to be otherwise.
 Therefore, when Mrs. Herman Oel- richs, with the artistic aid of Mrs. Condo Mast and Frank Crowninshield, held a fashion show at her house in the name of war charity, she was thrice blest both by the residents of Newport and the outsiders. And then q young girl, of undoubted charm and prestige, sauntered along the avenue to the Casino and the Hilltop Inn, dangling a bird in cage from her finger, she was greeted as one who had saved a season from that in- nocuous desuetude which Newport loatheS.
 The idea was greeted with ripples of applause for its audacious novelty. Yet, it was revival from Victorian days.
 The girl with her bird did not have her novelty to herself very long. All winter, we have been beseeched to buy exquisite Chinese bird cages with bril- liantly plumaged birds seated in them, to be hung in any room of the house, whether cottage or palace.
 Tiny birds that glistened like beetles then came into fashion instead of the canary, which resembled new born chicken.
 The milliners seized upon this sym bol of Victorianism, the gaudy parrot, and painted and embroidered it on such q quality of hats that the price quickly sank to 9S cents.
 The parrot has passed as a novelty and fashionable pastime in millinery,

or in series, one inside the other. Whole hats are made of moire ribbon with @ fancy edge. Smart girdles are made of three or more shades in pas tel colorings. A favorite combination Is rose, old blue and violet. Ribbons with metal thread forming the edges and lines running through the middle make them stiff enough to stand out crisply when shirred to form a ruching or plating for frill. A ribbon in hunters green with spots of cerise and violet in geometric pre- cision inside the border are suitable for sports dress. A satin ribbon in dull green and brocaded pattern in black and white is also in this class.

 For some months, France has been wearing hats trimmed with large, worsted roses and Alpine flowers done in green and white wool.
 On whatever material she wishes to put these colored worsted threads, she can do so. Even organdie serves as q suitable background.
 The fashions that concern us most at the present moment, are the crewel rose and the sampler cross stitching. No matter how far woman Is from Paris, she can use both these meth ods of trimming with lavish hand.

His Early Morning Task.

Not all city folks are as ignorant of the conditions on the farm as some farmers are apt to suppose. A Bos- tonian who was spending his vacation on a farm in Maine had resolved to rise with the birds in order to get the full advantage of the rural life.

Some of the strips can be a shorter length and should be In the center of the mop. When sufficient strips have been cut (and this can easily be told by punching them up until there is nice fat bundle), tie them to- gether about an inch from the top with string.
 This must be done very securely by binding the string round and round. Now a long stick will be needed, like a bamboo; If there is not one to hand, one can be bought cheaply.
 To fasten the mop to the handle, open it out like in the small diagram i; run the stick through the center of 1t. This is easily done.
 Now take one or two strips of the mop and put over the end of the stick and drive nail through the strips and into the stick In this way the mop is we'll secured and is as firm as rock.
 To work, simply rub the mop along the floors, don't bend the back at all | 1t Is surprising how the mop will not only take up the dust, but polish the floors; it may be used with some liquid polish if liked, and can be washed again and again by simply dipping 1t up and down in soapy water and putting it in the open to dry. A similar mop is splendid for walls picture-rails, etc, but should be made of white or lightly-colored material, and, of course, used for no other pur- pose than the walls.
 A trial of one of these homemade mops will more than convince the housewife as to it's use, and best of all, 1t can be made for nothing, which in these times Is great consideration.

Women who are we'll often ask "Ars the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Go. are continually publishing, genuine" "Are they truthful?" "Why do women write such letters?"
 In answer we say that never have we published fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it.
 The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia B. Pink ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink ham Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives. once burdened with pain and suffering.
 It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis- placements. inflammation, alteration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.
