Birds"
"Whirr, whirr," said the wild wind
as it eircled about the tree where Mr..
Chickadee and Mr.. Junco sat, s'whirr,
whirr, you are quite right, Mr.. Chick,
we shall have snow in short time and
while the snowflakes seem to dance
down from the sky to you, l know 1t
is the Snow Queen who really shakes
them from the long white feathery
robe she wears"
''What Is that you are saying about
the Snow Queen7' inquired Mr.. Junco.
'Whirr, whirr," answered the wild
wind, as it tore the dry leaves from
the tree and whirled them about like
dancing brown elves on the ground
below.
Cant you stop whirring a minute
and tell us what you mean?" asked
Chickadee "How do you know so
much about this queen?"
Wild wind Gained little and came
nearer to the questioning birds, How
do 1 known" he said. "Why shouldn't
1 know when 1 always 60 to meet her.
1 am getting ready now, that Is why l
am whirring and circling about, for
you can never tell just how the Snow
Queen wishes to be escorted from her
home away up North.
Sometimes she comes silently and
shakes her feathery robes over the
land and then again she chooses to
come dancing like a mad Queen, shak-
ing her robe of feathery white until
there is not feather left and she has
to hurry home and get another robe.
$50 you see have to be prepared
to do her bidding and that is why l
whirr and act so wild.
But if I stay here gossiping shall
not be ready to escort the Snow Queen,
so l must be off. Good day. You
watch out and soon you will see the
land covered with feathers from her
robe"
Away went the wild wind with a
loud whirr, whirr, while the two little
birds sat looking at each other and
wondering if it were all true.
The next day while they sat on a
limb talking it over, little snowfakes
came dancing down about the tree.

TAFFETA TO RECEIVE APPROVAL

and whether they have extra rufflings
at that point or not, still they bear a
puffy aspect.
Crepes are still extremely good for
afternoon dresses of the draped vari-
ETY., and for evening, they tell US, that
a great many satin meteors will be
used to take the lines of the necessary
draping in the most effective manner.
Tweeds, of course, are the most popu-
lar materials of all, for they will be
used for town suits, for country suits,
for top coats, for wraps, for one-piece
dresses, for sleeveless dresses, for
sleeveless coats. for separate skirts
and for hats and scarfs as well.
In fact this is the material popular
above all others for the coming season
and, in cOloring, as varied and brilliant
as any in demand for all these pur-
poses. If, as some one has said, the
material makes the garment, then this
season should be more beautiful one
than any other before. The materials
provided certainly form the best sort
of foundation for creating notable cos
tunes.

reason the Easter Sunday afternoon
tea is looked upon with favor among
such persons. Whatever may be your
own attitude toward dancing on Sun
day among most Americans there is
still a prejudice against it, as there
is against the playing of the "noisier"
sort of dance music. This is not
really so much a matter of religious
principle with good many people but
one of respect for time honored GUS
tom.
One thing that especially recon-
mends these little Sunday social
gatherings is that since most American
men regard it as a normal state Of
affairs to have to work for six days
in the week Sunday Is the only
time when we can have an afternoon
party that is attended by both men
and women.

Fabric of Soft Quality Sure to Be
Popular for Afternoon and
Evening Dresses.

Taffeta in the softest quality is sure
to be popular for little afternoon and
evening dresses, states an authority,
especially when they are made up in
the pulled skirt types which have
taken such a hold upon the fancies Of
the designers. 1t seems we must have
something which involves the charac-
ter of Old World charm mixed with
our fashions even if we do insist upon
keeping the one-piece dress and the
straight, simple lines. SO now 1t is
the bOuffant little dress, which in all
probability has frill, or bertha, or
a fichu, or something of the sort, to
carry out it's old-fashioned air.
These dresses are made of the faint
est OF pastel colorings. They are
trimmed with bits of edgings of lace
and frilIed ribbons and rosebuds and
any of those other dainty designs that
made our grandmothers so fascinating
es young girls. They are pulled out
with invisible wires about the hips,

THE FINGER NAILS

EINGER nails that are unusually
L broad and long, show disposition
that is uncertain and inconsistent and
subject to bodily ailments. 1t is also
held by some authorities that the pos
SCISSORS of such nails are in danger of
being Influenced too greatly by the op-
posite sex.
If the nails are long, but not too
long, and properly proportional, they
are an indication of well-balanced
nature. Of course, this indication must
be read in conjunction with other signs
in the hand. But, speaking generally,
the possession of such nails means a
nature that is affable, agreeable, trust
full, but not too confiding. "These peo-
pie will from youth understand de-
ceitful purposes" says one authority.
Small. crooked nails or nails that
are bent at the point, or apex, show
ambition, courage and high spirits.
Naturally, such natures are apt to be
self-wiiIed and impatient of contra
diction or opposition.

Signs of Modes
for the Season

Frocks this spring will have fullness.
They will have little added length,
but not an accentuated amount, as
serts a fashion writer in the New
York Times. There will De sleeves as
decorative as any part of a pageant
and drapings in every style allied with
fabrics to defy the Imagination. The
pure essence of smartness will be
there, while the actual spring crea-
lions, in their newest American and
Partisan interpretations, await release
to the public.
Length of skirts seems to be a fairly
well-disputed point. Fashion people
insist loudly that skirts shall be long.
The fashion people and the fashion
models wear long skirts, but the Amer
lean women are doing nothing Of the
sort. Perhaps they will come around
with a wild rush to dress as they are
hidden, but as yet they have shown no
disposition in that direction. Their
only feeling for longer skirts is when
they wear loosely hanging panels which
bob about so saucily in the breeze that

1t is true. On New Years day, 1880,
the Southeastern railway commenced
to build a railway across the ice from
the north bank of the st. Lawrence
river, at a point near Bellerive Park

ALBERTA

A Iberia, meaning nobly bright,
4 4 has it's origin in the Teutonic Ian
guage. 1t is one of the names coming
from the nobility of which Aethel Is
the root.
AetheIbryht was its first form,
though it was a masculine name and
was given to the first Christian king
Of England The famous bishop of
Prague was called Adelbrecht and his
fame spread the Use of the name
throughout a great part of Europe.
Italy received it and straightway
changed it to Alberto. 1t is from this
latter that the feminine forms, AL
oerta and Albertine, were formed. The
husband of the late Queen Victoria,
who bore the name of Albert, brought
both the masculine and feminine into
great vogue in England. Indeed. it has

a succession of pleated and fringed
ribbons in dull reds, and greens and
browns.
The hat, too, has been cleverly made
of a series of the same rosettes set
around the brim of closely fitting
turban. And then rows of ribbon, set
on straight, around the waistline and
sleeves, end at one side of the waist in
a fringed series of tags dangling over
the skirt where 1t is draped at that
point.
This dress shows one of the longer
waistline which, from all that can be
learned about the coming fashions, is
something likely to remain with us for
at least another season. This is cheer
full news for the long, slim figures,
which can so well stand the line; but
for the shorter women there is every
chance they will find the normal waist
line and, in some instances, line that
is higher still, the fashion for them.
More and more is the fact disclosed
that one places ones waistline, and the
rest of the lines of ones costume, for
the matter of that, exactly where one
wishes, for the fashion of individuality
grows upon the population as time
goes on. More and more women are
willing to take the courageous step
which stamps them as persons with
their very own style of dressing.
The newer wooden fabrics for spring
are something to be wondered at and
loved, for they are woven in so soft
lance, one cannot tell them from silken
materials. The Rodier kasha cloth has
made q distinct sensation, for it is
being used right and left for the max
ing of street dresses, twO-piece cos
tunes and suits Of various sorts. Its
soft as any wooden material coming
from the looms in many long year.
it is shown in many and vivid color
ings, so that any taste and any style
of garment can be successfully car
ried out with this material as a founda-
ton.
Kasha Cloth Is Popular.
For all the dresses which used to
feature serge, kasha cloth is now
used, for it is only a refined and
beautified serge, with all the surface
of a wool velours and all of the foun-
dation weave of serge, to give it
firmness and solidity of texture.
Then silks have taken a very strong
place in the designing and making Of
clothes for the street which are al
ways the first dresses to be considered
for spring. Silks have such strength of
texture that they serve eXcellently for
all sorts of frocks for which wooden
materials have usually been employed.
1t takes a long while to turn the
mind in the direction of accepting silk
as a material for street dresses-es-
pecially if one expects them to amount
to anything after they have been given
any amount of wear. However, such is
the perfection of heavy silk as it is
woven today that it can fairly stand
alongside the heavier materials and
compete with them, on an equal basis,

TWO EAGLES FIGHT A PUMA
Spectacular Battle 10 Waged on Slopes
Of Mount Badly in Colorado
Springs Park.

Colorado Springs, COlO.-A noun
tain lion which had dropped down the
eastern slopes of Mount Badly into
North Cheyenne canyon, Colorado
Springs park. was attacked by pair
Of bald eagles. The fight was wit
messed by Pearl Turner and Ella ray
Tor.
The eagles had the lion at dis
advantage from the start. They would
both swoop down at once, using claws
and beaks numerically. The lion
tried al the time to escape. When
close pressed he would leap at his
antagonists, swapping and striking
with his paws. The eagles used their
wings effectively to escape these on
slaughts. The lion finally obtained
shelter In brush.
