more room inside than she liked. In
another the doorway was too small. A
third showed plainly that Bully the

there. and when she came out Mrs.
Winsome said that she felt as if she

one box suited her fairly well. but as
she sat in the doorway, looking about
she saw Black Pussy looking up at her

for her at once. That box would never,

After this they inspected, in turn.

Mrs. Winsome was a little too hard to
please. In fact he thought she was

/ the encouraging things he could think

At last they flew over to an old rail

talk things over and make up their

Winsome would attend to the making
up of their minds. though she wouldn' t
have admitted it and neither would

For a minute or two Mrs. Winsome

then Winsome saw a worm down on the

A nature-story birthday party is one
of the most charming and amusing
ideas for spring, and the invitation
could hold little couplet telling the
guests what will be expected Of them:
Pray bring a nature tale with you
And do expect TO tell IT, too
The invitation itself could be on birch
bark note paper-it can be bought any
WHEREOF on paper with little flock
of colored birds or some woodland scene
or other. The bluebird paper. which
is much used for children's functions
now, would be just the thing, as chill
dren always love anything with a bird
on it and the bluebird signifies happi-
ness.
The little invitation might read:
You are cordially invited to attend birthday
party given by Gladys Greene at her home May
8 at 3 O'Clock. Il. s. V. L.
These letters, which are generally
put in the lower left-hand corner of the
response is expected. In answering.
the invited child. or the mother who
does the writing. must express some
pleasure with the invitation, whether
acceptance or refusal is sent, and If
the child goes to the party it must
carry the little host or hostess some
trihing gift.
Inc nature-SlOTy party COulu De out-
doors, or be celebrated on a wide We
randa, or in the parlor. for the whole
point of it is little talk and games
that deal with the life and loveliness
of natural things. When the children
are all assembled proceedings can be-
gin by the mother or young lady man
aging the party telling the first story
of some simple experience with wild
life-that is life outdoors. She must in
dicate too. that a happening in park
is just as valuable as one in the coun-
try and put the shyer children at their
ease by inviting the bolder ones to
speak first. After the ball is set roll
ing it is wonderful TO hear of the poetic
fancies that have come to the tots from
time to time in their little wanderings
with old mother nature. and the story
telling will help the ones hitherto blind
to natures wonderful sweetnesses.

Winsome BIuebird's House
Hunting.

Winsome Bluebird Is one who be-
lieves that the early bird catches the
worm and likewise fares best in pick
ing out a house. AS he was the first to
arrive from the Sunny Southland, so
also he was the first of the birds to
start about getting ready for house
keeping, always excepting Bully the
English Sparrow. In fact he took only
day or two to rest after his long
journey before beginning a systematic
inspection of all vacant tenements in
or near the Old Orchard. To be strictly
truthful perhaps I should say that Mrs.
Winsome did most of the inspecting.
But Winsome went along with her and
was always ready with his advice when
she asked for it.
First of all they visited their old
home, a certain hole in a certain tree

college and street wear. At the same
time one may readily perceive how love-
ly the frock would appear in faille, taf-
feta or sport silk for use in the afternoon.
In any of these materials it would be en-
inently appropriate for attendance at a
country club luncheon. for example-or
an informal luncheon in the city.
An economic value of this frock lies in
the fact that the jacket is sleeveless and
has little material in the front. In fact,
this Jacket may be constructed of left
over material that is harmonious in color,
such as a check silk over plain colored
skirt. or vice versa.
Another economy may be realized in
the waist. This may be made of chiffon.
thin satin or crepe to match the dress,
and a piece of the skirt goods may be
stitched into separate cuffs. BY making
the cuffs separate they may be used upon
either a fine silk waist or a washable
waist for everyday wear The pattern
also offers separate skirt that may be
worn with any sort of shirt waist.
Since all skirts are trimmed nowadays,
the amateur dressmaker must consider
how she will adorn hers. Cordings, braid
ruchings or ruffies are suitable for this
purpose.

LINES OF THE BODICE DO NOT CHANGE.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, May lit is an interest
ing fact that women do not object to
the tight bodices of today, even though
the majority of figures are not suited to
them. There was never time when the
fashionable figure demanded loose lines
so much as now; vet, the bodice of the
hour exposes the large diaphragm, the
larger waist and the usually flat bust
1t is possible to rid ones self of curved
hips and large waist at the same time
so the majority of women have worked
hard at the elimination of the former and
accepted the size of the latter. Every
woman realizes that if there is ridge OF
flesh on the body it must go somewhere,
and therefore she pushes it to the waist
and the diaphragm in order to keep
straight line from waist to ankles; and
today, when she has at last succeeded
in getting the figure she has wanted,
fashSion brings in a demand for an IN
creased hip line and a lessened waist
line.
1t is quite easy to obtain the fromer
through drapery, but even the new cor
sets won't give the latter. Possibly, If
women knew how Caruso got rid of the
flesh in his waist line there would be
Simmer figures in America At his last
appearance at the Metropolitan Opera
House. when he sang Don Jose to Nine.
Farrar's Carmen, he was congratula ted
behind the scenes by a smart society
woman, not only on his singing, but upon
his remarkable appearance as slim
Spanish soldier. He paid no attention to
the remarks upon his voice, but burst
into enthusiasm at her comment on the
smallness of his waist and diaphragm.
He confessed that he had lost thirty-eight
pounds recently by combining his food to
one chop and plate of spinach each day.
He said that he could now produce his
notes without any effort, because he had
taken off from his diaphra gm every inch
of surplus flesh that held him in.

Economy and comfort are combined IN
the attractive design shown herewith.
and the dress is one that may be used for
many purposes. 1t is equally suitable for
indoor and outdoor wear.
AS every woman possessing taste in
dress is aware, the charm of gown lies
chiefly in it's good lines. No richness OF
material or elaboration of workmanship
will make it attractive if its lines are
not good On the other hand, the cheap
est calico will appear smart when the
lines conform to the demands of art.
This gown will appeal instantly to the
woman of discrimination because of it's
simplicity and perfect taste. In addition,
the design offers a wide choice of ma
terials. 1t may be made of serge, or of
