LADY ANNE HALKET.

Lady Anne Halket was a woman of
great learning and prolific writer on
theological subjects who was born in
1914 Her father was preceptor to
Charles L, and her mother sub-gov-
erness to the Duke Of Gloucester and
Princess Elizabeth. Lady Anne was
carefully educated by her parents and
early in life manifested a leaning
toward theology, but besides this her
knowledge of surgery was so great
that the most eminent surgeons in
England and on the continent sought
her advice. Being a staunch royalist,
her family and herself suffered with
the misfortunes of Charles. In 1856
she married Sir James Halket, to
whom she bore four children, all OF
whom died in infancy except her eld-
est son Robert. 1t was to him that she
addressed her admirable tract, 1.-THE
Mothers Will to the Unborn Child,
| under the impression that she should
not survive it's birth. During her life
time she published 81 volumes, and
| left SO books in manuscript when she
| died in 1899.

SPRING BLOOMING BULBS.

Even flower gardens are affected by
the war, and though the country that
does most to contribute to the bril-
liancy of flower beds is somehow
keeping out of the great struggle
gardeners cannot hope to have any
imported bulbs-or at most very few
from Holland this year.
From Holland come the best tulips
and some other varieties of spring
blooming bulbs that are usually plant
ed in the autumn.
For some reason gardeners have not
been able to get such good results
with home-bred bulbs thus far, they
must wait patiently till after the war
before renewing their supply of some
of these choice plants.
But now is the time to begin to
think about what bulbs can be gotten
from homep reduction. The first OF
September iris plants are dormant il
most parts of the country, and it /:
then that nurserymen send such bulbs
as are ordered. They are then plant
ed for next springs blooming.
There are a number of hardy lilies
that can be had in spite of war con
pldHlSu lOI 1DOoL CNO AAAOAAhAA7' IN "
ever, now is the time to plan borders
and beds for next spring and to get
the order sheets placed with the florist.
Plants grown from seed in gardens
really do far better than those that
are transplanted from an entirely diff
ferent environment. Many persons
with a little care even produce their
own pansy plants and chrysanthemun
| plants by sowing the seeds some tim'
| in the late summer.

1000 FOR 1
HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Uses for Fruit Left vers-Odds
and ends of fruits may be again work
ed over separately or combined IN
many ways, with an improvement over
the original favors. The half cup
full of chopped pineapple makes 1
splendid sauce for a poached egg, or
may be the very thing for a pine
apple omelet.
The bit of stewed fruit may be the
needful for the steamed fruit pud-
ding ;or enter into the fruit ice for 4
hot days cooling dessert.
Combined with marshmallows ana
whipped cream, a fruit dessert may
form the greater part Of the nutri-
ment of the meal; the proportion OF
fruit needed in making these dishes
is very small.
If there are only a dozen berries
left over, or a spoonful of steve
fruit, make cupful of favored gela-
tin jelly Take a small mould, pour
in a little of the jelly, then few
sliced berries drained from juice, then
another layer of the jelly and fruit
until all are used. Unmould and
serve with whipped cream. Many
pretty effects may be worked out with
gelatin and a bit of fruit. Pineap-
| pie may be combined with rhubart
and strawberries with pleasing re-
| suits

Diary Of a Fashion Model
- By GRACE TKORNCLIFFE

1t must be velvet, but it must be
I!ght, specified young Mrs. Dillon, as
she burbled enthusiastically to Mad
anne over new afternoon frock which
she wanted, and which was to be very
unusual indeed "It must be smart
enough to be appropriate anywhere,
but I don't want it too conspicuous
for street wear"
Madame smiled. She is used to very
involved specifications from this
source. Mrs. Dillon is a tall, graceful
person whose figure would permit her
to wear almost anything, but whose
vivid red hair imposes great caution
when 1t comes to the all-important
decision about color She always
wants the unusual---both in color
combinations and in design---and
Madame usually creates something
quaint for her, for she can carry off
unique designs with a dash.
The model we trotted out for her
inspection was one of the very latest
Of Madame's ideas. It suggests
vaguely simple peasant costume in
its straight-line from the shoulder to
the waist, something Of the Russian
blouse in its squareness, but it seems
TO mould itself to the figure, setting
Off beautifully every supple curve
Against Mrs. Dillon's mass of bright
ha1r the coOr stood out strikingly.
The bodice and skirt are of dull green
velvet and are snugly fitted with very
little fitness in either skirt or waist
In order to supply a line between
skirt and blouse, Madame introduced
clever little touch. The front of the
waist, ending at the hipline, is turned
up, sailor fashion. But this fold is
transformed into two smart pockets
at either side.
These pockets, as well as the end of
the waist, which is turned up, are
embroidered in self-colored worsted.
In back large bow of velvet and
long sash ends finish the wafstline,
and have fringe of gray worsted.
! The lace collar fitted around the
neck, Pierrot fashion, was dyed a
gray to match the maline sleeves. The
upper half of the sleeve is of green
velvet with a row of gray velvet but
tons. The lower sleeve is of gray ma
line. 1t is this combination of gray
transparent fabric with the heavier
green velvet that makes the frock
look light and summary despite the
fact that we usually regard velvet as
a fabric suitable only for the colder
days.
OF course the color scheme is so un-
usual that no hat of another color

voices surely are not associated with
chewing gum and "gent'man friends;
voices that are low and distinct even
in giving numbers.
The wonder is that women not con-
nected professionally with the tele-
phone do not consciously or uncon-
sciously learn from these gentlewom-
en-. Was it DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes who said that the Bostonian 5
voice was the product of the east wind
and Goldfish? 1t is not a matter of
enunciation pronunciation, accent.
Southern women, Vfrginians es-

in speech; they are raucous or shriE;
voices of the nervous, highstrung,
domineering.
Poets and novelists endow their
women with beautiful voices. Thorn

the viola when she spoke. One can
not imagine Sophia Western, Beatrix,
Amelia, (Fielding's or Tha ckeray's, !

could possibly be suitable. The in
PRODUCTION Of another color would
spoil the whole effect.
Therefore, the hat that completes
the costume is literally one to match.
It is a small tpque with a tam-o'-
shanter crown Of green velvet of the
same material as the frock. Pleated
folds of gray maline, matching the
sleeves, surround the crown of the
hat. No other trimming is used.
The hat is merely a soft background
Of gray and green suggesting the
color scheme of the crown, but in no
way detracting from it's unusualness
by any ornate trimming. Often a
carefully trimmed costume is spoiled
by being worn with hat SO gener-
ously trimmed that it distracts<atten-
ton from the gown to the hat, and
makes the gown appear too ornament

beautiful only in juxtaposition to the

THE COIFFURE.

The vogue for the straight and
narrow way seems to be dying out, at
least as far as hair dressing is con-
cerned. Women have been far more
tractable of late and really arrange
their hair in ways becoming their type
rather than the way fashion happens
to dictate. The pompadour seems to
be gaining. in favor again, as many
faces demand height, but the low
hairdresa has not been foregone by
any means, for in many cases this
style of hair-d dressing is far the most
becoming. The woman with straight
classical features should never fore
go It's charm. Ears have finally de-
c1ded that they must hear and not be
seen and if it weren't for the fact that
they afford such excellent raison
d'etre for earrings they would prob
ably have retired from public view
altogether. The fan-Iike arrange
ment of hair suggestive of Japan is
being worn, and in many instances
where the head is well-shaped the
hair is simply turned under.
1t seems that the younger set has
developed some sort of mild mania
for short hair and many long lovely
tressHs are being numerically snip
