Opal Feels Climatic Chances

The opal is stone with temper
The diamond rises superior to climate,
as does the ruby, the emerald and the
sapphire, but the opal is of such deli
cate organization that, when exposed
to severe cold, it loses color, and under
the influence of excessive moisture be-
comes dull. 1t is a curious fact, how
ever, that the temperature of ones
hand will cause it to resume it's won't
ed fire and brilliancy, as will also be
the case when it is exposed to the d.
rect rays of the sun.

Sport Suit in Serge.

The sketch today shows a novelty
suit for the summer. made up in a
brilliant black and white combination.
The novelty in the coat lies in the way
in which sharp pointed panels are
placed below the waist to f1atten the
figure. The top part of the coat is slim
fitting, and the neck is opened some
what in the manner of our Peter Thorn
son blouse. There is a broad, black
belt, finished with square, black
buckle in front and a black silk cape
hanging loosely over the shoulders
and in the back. The hem of the
broadly pleated skirt is finished with
several rows of narrow, black braid.
The wide. rolling cuffs are of black
silk.
This frock has already been copied
in white crepe de chine, to make it
more comfortable for our summer
climate, and that Chanel suit of cloth
which has been SO often described is
now copied in pale pink satin for a
young girls afternoon dance frock.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. April 25.-Probably
because brilliant colors have been used
so much for sport suits there is a
tendency to use sharp contrasts in
black and white. We no longer see
novelty in awning skirts in brilliant
Spanish colors, nor in gorgeous, sun
set-dyed sweaters, nor in broad Mexi-
can grass hats. hand-painted with par
rots and other jungle birds We had
these with us last year and we had
them during the winter at the southern
resorts. but plain black and white, bril-
Iiantly put together in domino style.
catches the attention.
Sport suits take first place in this
combination. and in millinery the nov
city is a directoire hat or Reboux sal
lor of broadly striped. black and white
silk There is a feeling in the air that
by June these colors will be considered
more fashionable than the gorgeous
ones They may be taken up first by
the women who spend much of their
time at the hunting clubs. but later
they will be worn at Newport and Bar
Harbor as a morning costume
France has been sending over sport
suits in this brilliant black and white
in thin serge as well as
jersey cloth. and the apt dressmakers
have already copied them into frocks
of crepe de chine and Georgette crepe.

BLACK AND WHITE SPORT CLOTHES.

Georgette crepe and the collar of white
satin. 1t will be worn in the after
noon with a broad sailor of black straw
with facing of white crepe. and two
broad. white wings going in opposite
directions across the crown.
On every side one sees how the in
fuence of the new sport clothes has
dominated all manner of clothes, ex-
cept those for the evening. The huge
Russian blouSes that are buttoned
down the side and girdled with bril-
liantly colored sashes and which are
used as substitutes for sweaters have
been made in white and colored Geor-
gette crepe with a dash of embroidery
on the chest. to go with taffeta skirts
in the sane shade.
The colors preferred in these blouses
are beige, cafe au lait and two tones
of gray. They are also made in pale
blue and pink chiffon with gold en-
broidery. to wear over empire satin
slips in the same color. These are for
the house, between the hours of 5 and

fiouncing. the general scheme shows
how dotted goods can be combined
with plain fabrics to create very
charming frock. The design can be
carried out in dotted swiss combined
with plain swiss or batiste or null
Any of these associate favorably with
embroidery of the same sheerness or
quality Another simple yet exquisite
combination is made with rows of foot
ing sewed at intervals on plain goods
The footing can be purchased by the
yard or by the piece, but if it be not
easily obtainable, cut net in the de-
sired widths. Net. by the yard, is much
cheaper than footing, but is not so
easy to sew on. as the edges must be
carefully turned under and the goods
must not ke stretched in the sewing.
Is not the waist of this frock charm
ing? 1t is just a loose. full blouse,
with seams under the arms and on the
shoulders. The decoration consists
wholly of frilled revers and collar,
with ribbon run through beading.
Instead of this, however, a band of the
trimming goods may be added inside
the .frll The sleeves. too, not only are
easy to make, but are both practical
and pretty, and any attractive silk or
satin girdle or sash may be worn.

Prune Salad.

Soak one-half pound of large prunes
overnight or early in the morning if to
be used for dinner at night. Slit each one,
remove the stone and insert in its place
half a pecan nut. Shred some lettuce
leaves on small dishes for individual
service, arrange in little nests and place
three or four prunes on each nest. Serve
with tablespoonful of mayonnaise dress
ing on each portion. An unusual touch
is given by using a strip Of American
cheese instead of nuts.

trees and flowers were blooming all
around when Queen Rose glided into
the forest followed by all her servants.
This gaudy, yet stately. queen of flow
ers sat down in her throne Of moss
and began to cali her servants
around her. Now in this time the
flowers had no names and it took
a long time for Queen Rose to de-
scribe the servant she wanted. When
they were all gathered around her
she told them she was going to name
her flowers according to their appear
ances and accomplishments. Then
she began: Come forward my dear
red flower with the bag of seeds
around your neck which make me

up on rug, dreaming OF Christmas
or something. Ma was in the base
ment, The electric light which hangs
ip front of the furnace does not light
the rear OF the basement, which is
dark. | guess ma was over in the
dark part, hanging something on a
line or putting some waste papers in
heap.
Ma let out a yell which caused pa
and to stop reading and awakened
Trix. We all got up and rushed to
the basement to see what the trouble
might be- supposed mouse had
jumped into the pocket of mas apron.
| got my iashlight and in jiffy we
were in the basement.
Whats all the STIR" asked pa,
with me behind and Trix tagging.
81 stepped on something over there
in the corner and it felt like a snake
or dead cat or something like that
replied ma.
"Why don't you watch your step"
asked pa.

what do you suppose she stepped ou2
1t was all inflated bicycle tire which
| had been repairing and wanted to
see whether | had stopped the leak
Guess it would give anybody a creepy
feeling to step on it in the dark and
not know it was there.
Of course, pa had to laugh, and that
made ma madden than a wet hen.
Cant you find any place but the
basement for your bicycle tires"
asked ma.

to hang the tires up in the future,
and she agreed that | had better hang
them up or she would throw them
into the yard.
