HANKS to Golett Burgess. Polly
has heard of purple COW. al
though she has never seen one: but
she had never even heard of a choco-
late hen until yesterday. when she saw
one asserting in HUYLER'S. Rabbits
of course. one expects at Easter, and
eggs. and chickens if they're fluffy and
yellow. but who ever saw fat
mothcrly chocolate hen before? Not
Polly. and since she loves things that
arc new and good. and particularly
when they're chocolate. and Huyler's
she is enchanted with this novel va
ricty of Easter bird. sure that kiddics
will share her opinion of it's taste and
appearance. There arc chocolate bun
mics, too. right beside the hens, but
Polly had fascinated eyes chiefly for
the latter. They must have laid tho
remarkable eggs she saw thcrc-big.

decorated inside with patterns Of nuts
and maraschino cherries. These
Easter novelties have just arrived
Polly tells us, but though their forms
are new, their tasto has the familiar
goodness Huylcrites associate with the
crisp. buttery nut pattics madc with
glacc sugar. and with the rich choco-

JONAS millinery shop has gone and
j done 1t again. Polly's experienced
eyes spied something entirely new in
their cvcr-changinE windows, and she
strolied on in to make closer inspec-
ton. What she found was that MORE

Several OF The exclusive Smart Set"
models on sale hero have caught the
fever. and insist on adding tho MORE
scorEettc to their other charms For
the folks who have waited to be sure
of having the last thing in the way
of hats that happened before Easter,
Polly suggests seeing these Jonas Gre
atoms. Or, II they have set their
hearts on hats of more elaborate
type, with the dropping brims and
trailing ribbons that add picturesque
touch to afternoon costumes, she saw
at Jonas some lovely leGhorns with
overbrims of black Chantiliy lace that
strongly suggest Paris, France These
lcGhorns, and also the extensive col
lection OF the ever becoming trans
parent hats featured by Jonas. are
going to be very much the vogue for
accompanying Easter corsagcs to
church, she thinks.
n NE reason why Polly likes to help
~ her friends choose mahogany fur
niture from the reproductions of an
tiques shown at BIGGS' is because, in
buying such furniture. they arc invast-
ing in hcirlooms of their own and not
those of somebody else. Polly doesn't
like other folks ghosts, nor other
folks wormholcs. nor the scars that
other folks doing left in tho furniture
that once was theirs. Tho charm that
antiques hold for her lies in designs
that belonged TO periods which are now
history. and in the loving Workmanship
that went into their making. IL IL Is
actually possible to obtain rcproduc-
tons OF these same designs, faithfully
carried out into tho last details OF
hand-ruhhcd finish and quaint uphol-
stories. why not, says Polly, secure all
the advantages of antique furniture
and none OF It's drawbacks? The
beautiful work that Biggs Is doing in
reproducing In furniture the spirit OF
a vanished past Is becoming known all
over the United States where peoplc
like sincerity. and Polly believes
warmly In the Idea that inspired II.
