TN BLOUSES and smocks, as In
everything else that has been pre-
sented so far for spring, variety
is a most noteworthy feature of the
displays; variety in styles, in mate
rails, in design. 1t is probably due to
the growing demand for exclusive"
styles on the part of many people who
have grown exacting within the last
year or two. They appear to be
willing to pay long prices for some
thing different" Blouse and smock
designers. therefore, are following the
lead Of the milliners and excursioning
into all sorts of by-paths that lead a
little way off the main travelled road.
But there is room for some generaliz-
ing in summing up the styles. Blouses
and Smocks interest women much ear
lier than suits and coats for spring.
Many Of the choicest ones are made at
home, and even when this is not the
case, the assembling Of blouses for
spring and summer wear begins early
and takes time.
Short peplum st. les and short
sleeves appear over the horizon for
summer wear. There are plenty of
Russian blouse models and plenty of
long sleeves-the latter greatly varied
in design; there are many Overblouse
models, there are cCllarless and col
Jared models-the former in the ma

tude or walk are identical. But, as Il
has not been given to man the power
to stand guard at once over these four

know the whole man."-Life of Balzac.

ID LOUSES rank with hats now In
ID diversity of design and beauty.
They have grown in importance with
the passing of each season, and many
shops devoted entirely 10 them find
business brisk all the year around.
Styles cover a range all the way from
the simplest tailored models to rich
and brilliant things for evening wear.
Every time the subject ot blouseS is
up for discussion women congratulate
one another that sheer and dainty
handmade blouSes in simple styles
have returned 10 high favor. Once
again we have with us the painstakine
and beautiful needlewOrk that we have
learned 10 associate with France.
Whether the new blOuSeS are the work
81 French women or not, they come
up to the standard of daintineSs and
elegance that those patient needle
women have taught us 10 love.
Fine wolfe, batiste and net are the
mediums chosen for interpreting the
new wash blouseS. Net with eyelet
embroidery is a favOrite, and wolfe
makes opportunity for drawn work
and hemstitching, the introduction OF
hiet and fine cluny laces. Fine tucks
nnd a place on all materials, and with
batiste very fine net is used In frills
and insertions. A pretty net blouse
shown at the left of the two pictured
is lovely model. The collar and
cuffs are edged with narrow frllS and
further adorned with small sprays of

When Death cools His Stino.

There is in the West Indies very
curious superstition regarding death.
When death occurs in house all
the water in ii should be regarded
as poisoned and at once thrown away.
The idea is that death after claiming
his victim will cool his sitting" in the
first water he reaches, which thereby
becomes a deadly poison. No one can
tell what water has been touched. so
the safe thing 10 do is 10 get rid Of
all that is within his reach and do
II at once.

Largest Pipe Organ.

What is undoubtedly the largest and
probably the greatest pipe organ
ever made was that which was played
in Festival hall in ST. Louis, during
the exposition in 1904. 1t was origin
ally made for Convention hall, In Kan
sas City, but was never accepted. 1t
remained in storage for years and
was then bought by John Wanamaker
and installed in his Philadelphia store,
where ii is played every working day.
The organ weighs $4,000 pounds.

lincoIn's Little Joke.

Once in his law days while Lincoln
was in Chicago trying suit, his wife
had the roof taken off their house to
make the house higher. On LincOln's
return he manifested great surprise,
and asked a passerby, Stranger, can
you tell me where Lincoln lives? Re
ceiving the desired information, he
then gravely entered the domicile.

through button holes for faSteninss In
this blouse.
At the right Of the picture the bril-
liant blouse for a gray haired matron
is made of black geOrgette crepe jet
beads outline the neck and supply a
handsome bead embroidery for the
panel at the front of the waist and
the cuffs. Such a blouse worn with
a skirt of black satin would make a
handsome toilette for afternoon or

Conditions That Bar Happiness.

No man can be happy when he de-
spises his own acts, when he has any
consciousness Of wrong, whether Of
motive or act. No man can be happy
when he harbors thoughts Of revenge,
jealousy, envy or hatred. He must
have a clean heart and a clean con-
science, or no amount of money or
excitement can make him happy

Among the oldest forms of decorat-

is one which bears a relief design rep

jority. There are tailored and there
are untrimmed types, but taken alto
gether it may be said that blouses and
smocks were never more beautiful
than they are today.
A handsome smock of georgetts
crepe with cape collar is designed
In a way to set off very prettily the
abundant embroidery in silk floss that
adorns it. The collar, sleeve and
skirt Of the smOck are encircled with
this work, which usually is done in
colors, one like that in the crepe and
one contrasting. In the smock pic
tured the sleeves are three-quar
tiers length-a safe choice, since
II is possible to shorten them for mid.
summer, and a novel feature appears
In the narrow velvet ribbon threaded
through eyelets In the embroidery.
For combining the smock at the
waist line the choice lies between mar.
row girdles Of the same material as
the garment or silk cord and tassels
like that shown in the picture, which
seems an appropriate finish for 9
smock so richly embroidered.
