The Wise Fools.

The coming of April Fools day re-
minds US of the wise fols of Gotham.
a tale of a village that turned foolish
thereby showing wisdom. The story
goes that it was an old belief that
whenever king rode across a field,
from then on the ground became
property for a public highway. Now IL
happened that one time the kings
messengers came to a certain house
near Gotham in England and told
the owners the king was passing that
way and would cross their field. The
farmers were not pleased with the
idea of their land being turned intd
a public road, so they fatty refused
admittance.
The messengers returned to the
king with word that the citizens of
Gotham did not desire his bringing
his retinue across their fertile lands,
be village fools. to say that the king
may not come through" The messen-'
gers returned to the village with the
report that the king was coming any
way to see what manner of people
might bar a king passage through
their city, and it was predicted that
the kings wrath might bring them ala
sorts of abuses.
Taking the kings words TO heart,
the people planned to save themselves
by all acting foolish. When the ruler
arrived he found a mad town, every
single person in it pretending to be
crazy. going about doing the most
ridiculous sort of things. Not one that
he approached proved to have a spark
of intelligence, and in disgust, the
king made his departure as soon as
possible with the remark that the
best thing to do with such people was
to leave them alone. Thus by their
wisdom, the fools saved their heads.

the opals have very brilliant and
changeable flashes of color, even
though composed of colorless ma
teria1. Opals are also found in Aus
tralia, Queensland, and New South
Wales in unimportant quantities.
The opals are found, in mining, to
be deposited in layers. Because
these layers are all different colors,
a great deal of care must be taken
which they are cut may produce an
entirely different effect. A cross sec
tion of an opal vein would undoubted-
ly look like huge striped stone.
Two and one-half centuries ago
in Italy. a plague broke out at the
time of the opars popularity. One
of the victims. wearing an opal-set
ring, was dying. 1t was observed
that his ring was unusually brilliant
When he died few hours later, the
opal became dull. 1t seemed to con-
vince every one that the opal caused
of opal would be unlucky. In real
ity, the change in temperature caused
by death affected the brilliancy of the
opal, causing it to become dull. 1t
was not until recently that the re-
diculous superstition was disregarded.

October's birthstone.

Although long sleeves have been
worn with short-sleeved and sleeve

The opal has been described as

gems glowing together in combina-
ton" interestingly enough, the bril-
liant effect Of color of the jewel has
nothing to do with the color of the
substance of the jewel. The opal of
value possesses reflection of light
from the flashes within the stone. AL
most always the color of the stone
isself is a dull, unattractive yellow
The flashes may be of one color or
several Of course, the more colors
reflected from the flashes, the more
valuable the jewel.

If the present vogue for alpaca
does nothing else, it will wipe away
this association that has long clung
to this material. For alpaca has
risen to the first rank of smart
fabrics.
In France it had its origin. and it
is the French dressmakers who are
its most enthusiastic users. Premet,
Patou, 1Iolyneux, are among those
who have made much of it
There are, of course, alpacas and

alpacas, but, seemingly, any and an
of them are in fashion. Premet has
used a gray mixed alpaca Patou
uses plaidS in this material. There
Is a new alpaca of silk and wool that
shows an irregular black and white
mix xture, and sometimes these alpaca
mixtures and pla.ds are made of mix
lures of wool and artificial silks.
The alpaca family is a rather largo
one, and the family resemblance Is
not always marked. But the family
name-alpaca-seem to open the
doors of fashion to them all.
Here and thero behind the counters
where new spring fabrics are sold
You will find statesmen who have no
good words to say for any of the
alpacas.

but you'll find that it muses. and

Flannel is another substantial old
fabric that has been revived of late
and that takes a prominen place this
spring. The woman who perhaps
finds tho sober and substantial tweed
mixture little too tame for her tai
lored suit turns to some of the
checked. striped and plaided fiannels-
Basket weaves and homeepuns have
been used for separate wraps. The
beach cape of white homespun came
into prominence at Palm Beach, and
though there is not much chance of

in the wardrobe of the we'll dressed
woman.
Fine reps, often in plaids, are IA
vored, and this material is often
chosen in navy blue.
For the nonoe white satin seems to
be in great demand Once white satin
seemed hardly suitable for anything
hut the wedding gown Now the we'd
ding gown is more likely to be of
some sort OF crepe possibly satin
crepe. The stiff. heavier white satins
are used to make evening gowns,
often with the now fare below the
knees .
Printed crepes and plaid georEcttes,
brocaded chiffons, figured georgettos,
satins OF all sorts are chosen for aft
ernoon and evenings frocks.
Taffetas could hardly hope for
largo following in a season when the
silhouette is what it is at present.
However. SO long as the period frock
has any adherence-and IL still does
for young girls evening frocks and
bridesmaids--tAffeta will find a de-
mand. Plaided taffetas have been
used in Paris, and these, like the
plain sort, are of finest quality.

THE tailored suit, with its boyish
lines and it's closely fitting

glove or d glove with a cuff that is
worn over the cuff of the suit You
can now buy short one-button gloves,
