accompanying duties of tending the
furnace, sweeping snow and seeing
that the baby doesn't catch cold. But
to many feminine minds it brings the
thought that spring is not far away
spring with its new and absorbing ar
ray of gowns and suits, hats and
cloaks! So it seems to the Gadabout,
who hears women exclaim with joy
over fetching spring garments in the
Avenue shop windows and hears wo-
men in homes dwell at length on the

precious or semi-precious stones and
even the settings for them to express

wear a ring. The ring should be a
