I'm much too tired TO think or write,
Or make typewriters go;
And so I'm sure the Spring is here
1t always makes me so.
NEW YORK, April 1s.-AI hail
gentle Spring!
This is the JOYOUS season of the
year when the amorous robins and
the blue birds from happiness wake
you at five a. m. as they burble under
the window sill. These are the nights
when you toss off the extra counter
pane and wake i'm the morn with a
cold in the head and an extra counter
pain in your chest.
These are the happy days when
the Almagamated Union of Janitors
turns off the steam heat premature-
ly and you have to affect the cum
brous draperies of your eiderdown
bathrobe on top of your customary
garments around the frostbitten mem
age.
These are the pleasant mealtimes
when you struggle with the offspring
to get them to consume sufficient
quantities of rhubarb sauce, spinach.
dandelion greens and other health
fuI first fruits of spring against
which their childish souls and tum-
mics revolt.
Being offspring perhaps. accounts
for their being off" spring vege-
tables.
Shop Windows FfIIed.
These are the Intoxicating after
Moons when the shop windows get
fun of all the fascinating frills and
furbelows and frivolities that go to
female heads. The little birds are
on the wing and the little wings are
on the hat. II only the spring bon
nets knew how to use their many
wings they would certainly fly away
a la the little birds. AS it is 1t is only
their prices that soar. Truly. fine
feathers make fine hats this spring,
for almost every turban, poke.

new waistcoats of rainbow hued jer- /

they in broad Roman stripes OF or

are pressagented as successors to the

l. rather fear the existence of the

handpainted; well our hands will
certainly look painted when they don
the new sport gloves. Their lower
sides are of wash kid in the most
hectic of hues and their backs are of
glove silk in equally hectic matching
tint or a contracting tone. They will
look handpainted II they don't look
as If something had dyed on our
hands. Royal palms may well be
dubbed the hands that are covered
with the royal purple gloves with or
anEe silk backs. Verdant palms will
be those Of emerald green hacked
with Chinese blue. White gloves
with black silk backs and viceversa
are especially smart in these days
when black and white is such a win
ming combination. but the bright col
ors run pretty close for favor. When

the same brilliant color as the silk
back instead OF being contrast the
stitching ON the back in an off color
relieves the monotony.
