Spring is Coming
Back Again

g PRlNG is coming back again.
u Robins tell it clear and plain,
~ Bluebrds sing it from the trees,
\ GU can feel it in the breeze.
Pussy willows putting out,
Dandeliors soon will sprout.
And the grass each day is seen
In a brighter suit Of green.
Soon the boys and girls will go
To the woods they love and know.
There to pick the violet
By the noisy brooklet set.
Or will seek the steep hillsides
Where the honeysuckle bides.
And the dogwood blossoms say,
Spring is here--come out and play!"

I'll have TO find the old WITCH"
Patsy murmured sleepily.
There isn't any old witch, dear,
you were dreaming" Patsy's mother
laughed, carrying her to her soft lit
tie bed.
Patsy tried to go to sleep and dream
the rest of the story. She knew that
the Prince and Princess must have
lived happily ever after, but she could
never imagine what happened to the
Picture Puzzle and the old witch. The
very next day, however. she cut out
picture of a princess and put 1t in

she wanted to find the Prince.

Fools Day

= ST why the first of April is called
Fools Day" is not definitely
known. There are all sorts of
~ wild conjectures as to its origin,
.,..d one theorist goes SO far as to
trace the custom to Noah, who, it is
supposed, sent out the dove on April
to find out whether the forty days
rain had ceased. 1t was a fools err
rand, as the flood had not yet sub
sided; hence the conjecture. We laugh
at such ridiculous notion. If we
had theory. it might be to attribute
the origin to the foolish state of the
weather during the month of April.
The showers between the sunshine
certainly place us very frequently in
a foolish position, especially when we
have neglected to carry our umbrellas.
In France it is said that April Fool
ing had been practice at much
earlier period than in England, and
in some instances very important re-
suits have grown out of it. 1t is told
of Francis, Duke of Lorraine. ana his
wife, that, being imprisoned at Nantes
they dressed themselves as peasants
and escaped on April Fools Day, their
success being due entirely to the re-
fusal of their guards to believe that
the information which they had re-
ceived as to their intentions was my
thing more than joke. The escaping
pair were recognized by n woman of
Nantes in spite Of their disguise, and
she ran at once to the guard and be-
lrayed them.
| The guard merely smiled and muir
INJURED April Fool" and let the Duke
and Duchess pass. When the matter
came to the Governors ears an in
vestigation was ordered and, of
course, the discovery was made that
the joke was on the Governor and
guards. But too late. as the royal
birds had flown.

N r1tSys mother called.
~ "Oh please do let me play a
b little bit longer" Patsy begged,
for she was FASTING the lovelcst set
of furniture in her paper doll book.
well. just for little WHILE" her
mother agreed.
When all the furniture had been
put into the now living room, Patsy
turned the page and began to make
the garden. First she pasted in a
window. Then she carefully cut out
of magazine the picture of a rose
bush.
"A sample OF the beautiful roses
that grow on the grounds of an old
English castle" she read under the
picture.
AN old English castle -" Patsy
mhrmured sloepily while her head
nodded.
Suddenly the most surprising thing
happened. a tiny little voice began
to call from the paper doll house.
please, please find the Prince 1t
begged.
Patsy was very much excited. she
was sure that the voice had come from
the new living room. But when she
tried to turn the page she found that
she couldn't lift it, Instead of paper
the page was made of stone.
you'll have to look through the
window" said the tiny voice.
Patsy put her face up close and
found that she could peek through the
garden window very nicely. But what
do you suppose she saw? --Instead Of
the living room she had made was
the qucorcst little place in the world
There were mirrors all around the
walls. and in the center of the room
WAS table with q dinner of rose pet
ais spread out on it. In one corner
stood tiny bed with pink curtains
Then Patsy saw something better
than al the rest. In little chair
filled with lovely rose silk pillows sat
the most beautiful princess she had
ever seen. Patsy really never had
seen one before, but she was sure
that no other could be so beautiful
This little princess had the most Won
dcrful golden hair about three inches
long. which was really a very good
length, for you see she was only five
inches hl@h herself. Her eyes were
big but they were SO full of tears that
Patsy couldn't be sure about the color.

begged the little Princess.

PAST|MES BEATEN
 BY LIBRARY TEAM

The Pastimes who qualified as Jack the Giant Killers when they humbled the outlaws last week, were forced yesterday afternoon to in turl taste the bitter dust of defeat. The Librarians, a new light shining on tUe l! al baseball horizon, twisted the ti ump.
 Perhaps the Pastimes were q little too confident Last weeks victory had given the team a small sized dose of swelled dome. Of course they were not invincible and all of that, but Yet there were few teams in Phoenix who could make them re- treat from the trenches. It was d case yesterday If who was the most prepared It happened that the Lib rarians were in the first position.
 The game, funny as it may seem was won by the same score as the Outlaw Red contest, that is 10 to s.

Wool Jersey is a Satisfactory Fabric
 By May Manton

which really is revival, is our old friend alpaca. It is made into ex- ceedingly smart tailored suits and it is as lustrous and as handsome as 1t was when 1t was in vogue years ago. It makes most satisfactory costumes for travelling. for motoring and the like for it sheds dust and it is light of weight. A very smart one, that is typical of the way the material is handled by the best designers is made with a per- fectly plain faring skirt and with a fitted coat that flares moderately over the hips. This coat is held by three buttons and buttonholes at the waist line and is finished with a collar that can be rolled open or turned up about the throat. The stitching on the coat makes its only trimming. A suit of wool jersey is in dark, but not navy blue, with a jacket in Russian style finished with high military collar and both the collar and belt are finished with embroidery in beige color. A second costume is again in Russian blouse style but with an open neck and has pretty embroidery of the same shade on the collar and pockets. If the late summer establishes the vogue for wool jersey and for alpaca we will have at least two serviceable and satis- factory materials for between seasons wear. < The newest separate blouses are in- teresting for many reasons. A pretty one is made of pink taffeta embroidered in gold and silver. It is of course designed for dressy costume, but it is extended to form its own peplum and is finished with half low round neck and circular collar. The belt is really a narrow bit of ribbon with a bow and the sleeves are finished with ribbon bands and bows above the faring cuffs. Designers have been forced to realize that women will not give up the sepa- rate blouse. Simple frocks are very charming; they have their place and we all like them, but the blouse is a satisfactory garment, 1t deserves a permanent place and a permanent place is demanded for it. From the house of Paquin are coming some pretty ones made of very pale colored linen with groups of littia tucks as finish, and full plaitings of the ma terial at the neck and wrists that are held in place by bands of black velvet ribbon. Aa a matter of course, the ribbon is of the soft pliable handker- chief sort. White blouses of tulle and of net and of the two materials combined are worn and are very charming. A very pretty one com pines the tulle with crepe and is trimmed with white soutache. There is blouse for every occasion, for every hour of the day it would seem, and embroidery appears upon almost every one. As has been stated in previous letters, the shortage of trimming con- tinues. All kinds of needlework are in vogue, and braid trimmings are
 being extensively used and will be.
 There is some embroidery finish to be
 found upon the blouses of morning wear as well as upon those of afternoon
 occasions. A tennis blouse is, for / example, of white pongee with sailor
 collar and cuffs embroidered with
 tennis rackets in bright red. A very
 handsome afternoon blouse of pink

TRULY this is a phenomenal k sumzer. The fourth of July ~ has come and gone and we have known only a day or two of real summer heat. As result, many of the fashions which in themselves are more or less outre for summer, have not seemed as grotesquely out of place as was feared. AS matter of course, when fashionable women decided that the fur scarfs were comfortable and satisfactory ones to wear in the motor or on the mountain tops or wherever it was really cool, the foolish little stay- st-homes, who fancy they enter the list of the fashionable set when they wear garments of similar sort no matter how much out of place or out of season, were sure to don them at high noon to parade the avenue and upon various similar unsuitable oc- CaEions. We have seen many strange sights in old Gotham and undoubtedly Ae shall continue to see them, but happily we always can escape to the nearby resorts and refresh ourselves with the really well dressed. There have been 80 many actually cool days when the races were in progress and other important events being enjoyed, ,fhat the fur scarfs and fur wraps have Pbeen reported with truth, but it does fsnot hold that they ever can be or will Toe satisfactory, rational or really smart worn under the hot sun or in the crowded city. After all Dame Fash- lion is not such an irrational being. She establishes certain regulations and she sets the example of certain costumes flor certain occasions. It is not her fault that they are copied for quite different uses. It is never necessary to inform women or social place that suitability is the true test of smart dressing, but one wishes sometimes hat the maxim might be printed as a tract and circulated broadcast, so many times is it overlooked and for gotten.
 The coolness of the summer has perhaps intensified the love of sports and to some extent, it may be re- sponsible for the very great favor that IS shown the wool jersey costumes for they are worn by the best dressed sports women and unquestionably they have a far greater elegance and suit ability than the silk. From Paris, comes the word that the material will be used for. costumes of general wear throughout the Autumn, 1t takes such beautiful folds, it is dyed to such lovely colors and we well may hope to see the report verified. We have worn serge until we are bit weary, however beautiful it may be and the wool jersey will be welcome novelty, and it certainly can be made into most attractive costumes. With the coming of the cooler weather we shall see a. great many separate blouses that are finished over the skirts. A Parisian fancy is for making them of the plain colored silk jersey with embroidery of silk or of beads. They are pretty and they are dainty, how far they will prove prac. sical remains to be seen.
 At the moment there is great dea of interest in travelling and motol costumes and one of the new materials

chiffon is finished with scanty peplum that is sealloped at its lower edge and bound with silk The taffefa blouse referred to is embroidered with gold and silver and the story of embroidery of various sorts and of various uses might be continued indefinitely.
 The various Oriental silks that are variations of pongee are much liked. They are utilized both for morning costumes and for the afternoon ones. A smart gown is of the heavy tussah silk in khaki color made with a cir cular skirt that is gathered at the back and is trimmed with row upon row of soutache braid with row of big buttons covered with the material above. There is a dainty blouse cf white linen and fichu of tussah with long scarf ends that are richly em- broidered with beads and finished with long bead tassels. It seems impossible to escape from the embroidery idea. Whether it is carried out in coarse wool. in heavy silk or in beads.
 Among the latest accessories that are reported from abroad are neck scarfs of ribbon, the ends embroidered with :. beads and finished with bead fringe. Black taffeta ribbon is embroidered with steel beads and with colored beads and there are various ways in which the idea is utilized. So many women like to make pretty triffies of the sort during the summer to use as holi- day souvenirs, that the suggestion may be worth considering at this time. Little conventionalized flowers em- broidered with beads that have been referred to in previous letters can be turned to excellent account in the making of these triffies and of various ;, other pretty little accessories. Ribbon / of any color that will serve as back ground with single flower embroid- cred on each end and with fringe of ] the beads would make most effective tie. "A girdle of little wider ribbon to match would make good effect and narrow girdles are being so extensively used that the idea Is essentially a practical one, and the work is very simple. All sorts of good transfer patterns can be purchased and by transferring to thin tissue in place ot the material and working through the tissue onto the ribbon, then tearing the paper away, perfect effect can be obtained. There are no transfer lines on the material to be seen between the beads and the work is quite as easy to do through the tissue as without 1t. Not alone is embroidery and work of various sorts exceedingly fashionable, simple crochet is being put to great many new and interesting uses. A very handsome wrist bag is of heavy silk in sort of caster shade that makes agood background while the lower part is of Roman stripes crocheted in silk, the stitches used being those that are familiar in the making of neckties- DESCRIPTION OF PATTERNS oo52 With Blasting Line and Added Seam Allowance) Dress for Misses and

much liked and combined with the solid work it is exceedingly attractive The design is a good one for liner and also for the thin batistes, handkerchief lawns and fabrics Of such sort. It does not mean any great amount of labor and it is exceedingly handsome. Just now there is fancy for using colored accessories. Pink or blue linen worked with white would be very smart. The collar is especialiy de- sirable for childs coat and it can De used over pique or over corduroy, over broadcloth or over silk, for embroidered accessories are pretty on all materials. The transfer patterns are easy to handle. They require orlv hot iron to print the design on the fabric win assured success. Tbe ink of this especial one is of a clins,ng quality. SO that the first touch of the iron secures it to position and prevents any danger of slipping. In place cf cutting the scallops on the edges, a great many workers like to cut them little beyond and to turn the extra material up on the under side, hemming it firmly into place to make strong finish. Since children's collars require frequent launderino, that treatment is a de- sirabl~ one.
 II the collar Is made of batiste or of handkerchief lawn or such material and a very dainty effect is wanted, it's edge and the edges of the cuffs could he finished with frills of very narrow lace. Valanciennes is the one usually preferred for. such purpose, but any simple childlike lace can be used.
