When youth and springtime meet in
the mind of the designer of millinery
we are presented with such concep-
tons as those in the group of hats
shown above. One of the new shiny
fabrics makes the draped turban with
its audacious dropping bow at the right
side. Knife-plaited ribbon is RESPONSE
BILE for the cheerful hat in rose color
that looks as if it might be made of
sea shells at the right. The odd and
dashing shape at the left has a satin
brim and fancy braid crown with a
cluster that comprises fruits, flowers
and foliage posed against it. The
wide-brimmed braid hat boasts of
lovely lines not interfered with by a
rosette and ends of satin ribbon posed
at the side. These are only four
among the myriads of hats made to
grace the heads of young women, but
from them may be gathered something
of the vivacity and the general bright
ness of new shapes and materials for
spring.

Bees Eaten for Revenge.

Bees are usually employed as manu-
facturers of honey, which is every
where considered a delicious food, but
there are places where the bees them
selves serve as a food.
The negroes of Guiana, when stung
by a bee, proceed to catch as many as
they can and in revenge eat them. 1t
would be interesting to know what
happens as an effect of the sting thus
taken internally.
In Ceylon the natives hold a torch
under the bee swarm hanging to a
tree, catch them as they drop, then
carry them home, boil them and eat
them.-Popular Science Monthly.

THE CARELESS CAMELS.

ITS very careless of you, Cousin
Camel. Very careless Of you, indeed.
I'd be surprised at such carelessness
only | know you haven't any brains or
much brain power Or a great many
sensible ideas in your head. And so
long as you're not so very clever sup
pose one shouldn't scold you for being
careless"
"Some careless people are clever,
some clever people are careless said
Cousin Camel, moving his mouth from
side to side and round and round in a
funny circle.
"Some careless people are stupid,
too; some stupid people are careless,
Also" he added. but, Cousin Drome-
Diary, | have a reason for my careless
ness"
"Indeed?' asked Cousin Dromedary.

"Well," said Cousin Camel, as he
perhaps it's not much Of a reason.
but 1t is a reason.
"That Is something. Not much-but
something" And then Cousin Camel
began to say in a sing-sOng voice:
To have a reason is something fine,
1 need say no more. but can end this
line.
Yet I might add hat I chew all the
time,
And tina that is the end Of this, my
rhyme.
Cousin Camel smiled at Cousin
Dromedary and said, winking an eye:
"Well, sir, what do you think of the
camel poet?"
II don't believe I'd better tell you,"
said Cousin Dromedary. "After all, we
still want to be friends"
"True, true" grinned Cousin Camel,
who saw nothing to object to in what
Cousin Dromedary had just said.
you aren't as big as l am" Cousin
Camel went on, land you are not so
heavy in weight. You can get along
more quickly, it is true. But you have
two sorrows in life. One is that you
only have n hump and the other is
that you have no beautiful long hair
as I have"
"That all depends on the point Of
view" said Cousin Dromedary. 81 pre-

The procession OF suits for spring
shows the trend of fashion In four
directions with many versions Of the
Doxcoat in the lead. Then come the
straightline, bloused and sashed mod
els, like that shown in the picture, fol-
lowed by others. Styles are deter
mined by coats and skirts are plain.
This suit has reduced its lines and
trimmings to the last degree of sim
plicity and has, therefore, a new smart
ness of it's own. The sash of wide
black satin ribbon, however, is gath
cred in at the ends and finished with
very handsome silk tassels. These
hloused and sashed suits are youth
ful looking and have a chic simplicity
approved with much fervor just now.

apiece. All, yes! I have two humps,
and such superb, beautiful, magnif-
cent, lovely camel humps as they are"
81 never heard any one else speak
of them in just such glowing terms"
said Cousin Dromedary.
what are glowing terms?' asked
Cousin Camel.
"They are terms or sayings which
glow with fine, hi~gh-sounding express
~siveness."
"Oh, WELL" said Cousin Camel, you
see l can talk finely, after all"
But it is not we'll to boast about
yourself"
81 am kind enough to do It," said
Cousin Camel, 80 as to save others
the trouble. They might be busy, you
know. l suppose, Cousin Dromedary,
that you are aware of the fact that my
family name is that of Bactrian Camel.
Members of our family often are found
in a circus tent. But here l am, and
two other members of my family, in
this fine zoo"
"To be sure" said Cousin Drome-
dairy, land that was just what l was
speaking about in the first place. Dur
ing the summer you took people for
rides and many visitors came to the
ZOO. You didn't care then about your
long hair at all. You didn't mind it in
the least because you looked far from
beautiful and quite shorn, in fact.
But now that winter has come you
let your beautiful hair grow fine and
long and very few will see you"
"Ah !" said Cousin Camel, "You think
we are careless because we do this
way. But I must tell you the reason
for it. 1t is because we want to save
our beauty for those who will brave
the winter weather TO com and call on
us. Now, isn't that a fine, noble rea-
son? OF course" he added, with the
biggest and broadcast of grins covering
his entire face, tits a family habit and
we don't outgrow a family habit like
that, never-it's quite impossible
Impossible for you, perhaps" said
Cousin Dromedary, "but still / can't
help saying, Careless Camels.'"
"Say it all you like" ended Cousin
Camel. I'D rather chew than argue

a thousand women came to town as
delegates to some sort Of a talkfest,
and the citizens were asked to furnish
them with board and lodging during
their stay. These danes came to town
logged out in purple and fine linen and
bespangled with precious stones, and
most of them had money In every
pocket, yet not n of them thought of
going to a hotel and paying her way
like a little man. In the bunch were
the wives of bankers and laundrymen
and editors, and other VIGOROUSLY
wealthy citizens, and they were such
poor sports that they were willing to
accept a handout rather than loosen
up a few bones at the c~aravansary.
There were six of these female del
egates at our house. Aunt Julia goes
the limit when it comes to hospitality.
When she first heard that the women
Of the town were expected to take care
of the delegates she said she would
take care of two of them. A day or
two later she sent word that she could
provide for four, and then she conclud-
ed she could handle six, and If she had
had a few more days, she'd have vol
unteered to take charge Of the whole
convention. She's a good sport, even
if all the rest of the women are four
f1ushers.
"The six women arrived on time and
the look of them gave me chills and
fever. They were fierce old relics with

they had just been given ten days on
the rockpile. They began grumbling
among themselves, taking care to talk
loud enough for Aunt Julia to hear.
One said she had always been used
to a good big pillow, and she couldn't
sleep on a pillow the size of a pin
cushion. If strangers ever stayed
over night at her house, she said, they
would be given real pillows, and not
craven images.
"Another old bag said the bed she
slept in kept her awake all night with
its c%reaking and g%roaning. 1t evidently
needed oiling. She didn't believe that
any woman with proper self-respect
would let a guest have such a bed.
Aunt Julia listened for a while, and
1 could hear her teeth grating like a
coffee mill. After a while she went
upstairs and gathered all the hand
bags and other traps belonging to those
beldames, and put them on the porch,
and when the women were done eat

their junk, and invited them to go

In measuring the most valuable at
tributes of any garment, feminine
judgment is apt to think at least as
highly of style as of utility. If one
or the other mus be sacrificed-it is
not style, and it is a happy circum-
stance when both are found artfully
combined. This is the case with the
handsome utility coat shown in the
picture. 1t is long and full, with dol
man sleeves and deep yoke that sug-
gests g cape. The collar is ample and
may be buttoned up about the throat.
The material is a soft but loosely
woven pile fabric, light in weight, but
cozy, and style of this Goa places it
in the distinguished class where there
are few that are so practical.
