For Mother.
A Lucky Day.

I'LL never get up nerve enough
to give it to her" thought Cedric as
he looked at the lovely satin and
lace paper valentine he had bought
for May Louise. quite the prettiest
and most popular girl in the nelgh-
borhood.
After thinking it over he decided
not to put his name, or even his 1nf-
tials. on the one he had bought TOT
MAY Louise. He was entirely 100
bashfuI to let her know he was CIV
ing her a valentine. Why, she hardly
even knew who he was. He had not
lived in the neighborhood very long.
Cedric hurried along the street until
he came to the little cottage in which
May Louise lived. He ran up on the
steps as lightly as he could, thrust
his lovely valentine in the mail box
and ran down the steps and up the
| street as though ghosts were a1ter
him, He wasn't sure, but somehow
he felt that some one had looked out
the window as he ran down the steps.
He was early for school, SO he hung
around in front of the building wait
ing for his friend Harry to come
along.
''Oh, Cedric" some one called to
| him. "I think you're the dearest dear.
take back all the mean things /
| said to you when we had our last
scrap. Even IL you didn't have your
name on the valentine I recognized
Ellen's monogram stamp on the seal
ing wax"
Cedric looked dazedly at his cousin
Esther.
That was the prettiest one I've got
so far" she said, "and I got several.
IL just love that pretty pink satin
| center with the flowers painted on 1t. :"
Cedric managed to humble some
thing and went into the schoolhouse,
heart-sick. How terrible to have
made mistake and wasted that
| lovely valentine on Esther! At least,
he was relieved when he remembered
no hadn't put his name on any of the
| valentines, and May Louise wouldn't
recognize his sisters seal.
He was standing looking gloomfly
| out of window In the hall just
before the class bell rang, when some
| one tapped him lightly on the shoul-
| der. He turned, to his horror, to face
May Louise.
| "Oh, Cedric" dubbed May Louise.
her eyes dancing, II think you're the
funniest thing. You needn't act in
nocent. Il saw you nut that valentine

1t just after you left
Cedric was nearly purple with en-
barrassmeht, but May Louise went
on gayly: THAT was an awfully
clever valentine, Cedric, even II It
was = teasing one. I get SO sick OF
all these silly lace paper ones with
| hearts and doves on 'em. I don't
know another boy in school that
would have had the nerve to send
me valentine like that" She tossed
her curls, laughing.
| Just then the bell rang. You go
by my house ON your way home from

BY MARY MARSHALL.

F. the small size of our hats leaves
little room for trimming we make
it up by using trimming of tho
millinery sort on our frocks. Ar
tificial flowers are no longer
thought of as merely hat trimming"
They are used more lavishly on
frocks now than on hats. True, there
are flower trimmed hats-with two
gorgeous blossoms posed back to back
at the peak of the crown, or with tiny
blossoms, forget-me-nots and rose
buds covering the entire bonnet-but
the wreaths and long sprays and
more elaborate flower trimmings are
reserved for out frocks.
Feather flowers are enjoying a de-
cided vogue in France at the present
time, where they are used for shoul-
der decorations as well as for hats.
!, Rather remarkable skill Is displayed
by the artificial flower makers in re-
producing the blossoms that fashion
has decided are most smart The
morning glory, which you may prefer
to call the convolvulus, has for some
time been neglected in American gar
dens, but 1t has now been revived on
frocks and hats thanks to Poiret,
who has found its fragile blossoms
and delicate rose and blue tones quite
to his taste.

not true to nature Is at any rate very
pleasing. For an evening frock you
may select large rose backed with
ostrich fiues, while hanging from the
rose as silver stems with tiny rose
buds and little tufts of ostrich.
Often the ostrich trimming is used
In ombre effect, and often in two
tone effect. Curled ostrich is some
times combined effectively with the
uncurled sort. Ostrich used on hens
and borders Is as smart as 1t is popu-
lar and is found on negliges as well
as evening frocks.
The ostrich boa, revived a season
ago, is chosen by some women as a
rather unusual evening accessory, and
is most effective when worn with a
frock trimmed in some way with
ostrich of the same tone.
Rather newer than the ostrich boa
is the fabric scarf edged with ostrich
fringe. Sometimes this scarf is actu-
ally attached to the frock at the
back or the side. made of the same
fabric as the frock. Long ostrich
fringe is set in a smart frock in
points and the scarf worn with it

ribbon to achieve this end. Now as
always they lead The way in the
clever use of ribbon. A young girls
frock of black taffeta with gathered
skirt attached to straight, snug
bodice, has a tie of narrow silver rib
bon at the front of the collar-small
loops and ends hanging trifie longer
than the hem. This is a simple de-
vice to give apparent length and
straightness to the frock. A few yards
of silver ribbon form one of these
long neck ties with enough over
to wear around the head in a double
bandeau.
Another lengthening device for the
simple little frock is the use of three
or four lengths of ribbon from neck
line to hem. These may be attached
as far as the hips and hang loose
thence to the hem. Narrow ribbons
hanging from the shoulder, there at
tached with a rose or other flower,
form a simple and effective trimming
device.
Ruchings and loopings of ribbon
are seen on some of the new frocks

shows ostrich fringe at the ends at
tached in the same point shapes.
Silken fringe vies with that of
ostrich as a trimming. Frequently
this new fringe is as light and will
lowly as ostrich, since good taste has
somewhat yeered away from the ex-
tremely heavy "slinky" sort.
Not only have the dressmakers
made inroads on the milliners' sup
plies-they have borrowed from the
shoemakers as well, and a woman's
frock now quite often carries more
kid than her shoes. The brightly COL
ored kid which didn't meet with the
approval here that it did abroad as a
material for shoes makes really
charming dress trimming. Tiny folds
of fine kid in different colors are
cleverly embr together with
silver threads.
On many of the smartest street
frocks and ensemble costumes for the
Spring there Will be neat pipings and
facings of leather. A narrow leather
belt will be worn with a straight-line
tailored frock with slit pockets piped

twelve Holsters.
After Labor day, when the New
England coast vacation season Is
nearly ended, many fishermen take up
theiY traps and follow some other
business. The harder ones fish right
up to bitter cold weather. The life
Is harder, for the weather is bad and
the traps are put out in deep water
where the Holsters crawl to keep
warm. These late-working lobster
men make more money, though, for
they may get 20 to 80 Holsters day,
and they receive better prices for
them in Winter, too.
THE best lobstering grounds are
along the Maine coast"

Things Which Are Of Interest to Youne
Yarns of the Big Woods.

Funny noise the wind makes
through the trees" he says.
Wind nothing" snorts the Old
timer. That just shows you don't
know a thing about these woods.
Why, everybody around here knows
that's the noise made by the accor-
dianteater."
THE accordianteater!'
Sure. 1t isn't likely you'll get
sight of him while you're up here,
as he keeps himself hidden in the
dark, shady places. Sometimes you
can hear him in the daytime, but
mostly he's out at night. He makes
that queer, wailing noise with his
body, which Is built just like an ac-
cordian, and he just pulls himself out
and squeezes himself up. Listen!
There he goes again.

Beads are at their best on the
straight-line, rather gorgeous evening
frock. and as much interest lies in
the intricacy and hneness of the de-
sign as in the glitter Of the beads.
Often the beads are of the smallest,
thus making possible the following
out of the most complicated figures.
Nothing is more charming than a
f1esh-colored georgette frock en-
broidered all over with pearls and
crystals. Needless to say any addi-
tIonal trimming is out of place.

CUP in the great lonesome woods
OF the North the old guides have made
up many yarns which they tell over
and over to the tenderfeet from the
cities-their own way of explaining
the strange tracks and weird noises.
Mr.. Childs, who used to be a game
warden in the woods of northern
Wisconsin, collected these stories
himself from the 'oldtimers.")
A strange noise through the tall
pines in the Big Woods. A sort of
signing that grows into a wall and
dies away. If it is dusk the new
conner to the woods draws a little
closer to the cheerful fire. All about
him is wall of shadowy trees.

Indian Tops.

friend, Joe Rising-Tide, a Penobscot
Indian who lives near kennebunk-
port, Me. I asked him whether In
dian, boys ever used tops and, IL so,
what kind.
Yes" he assured me. Indian boys
play with tops that they make for
themselves. These tops are called
'toweigans.' Come over to my shack
and I'll show you a couple of them,
and IL there aren't any around I'll
make two or three for you"

THREE"
LOSES SUIT IN
UPPER COURT
Minnesota Department of Ad'
miniStratiOn and Finance
Must Pay Salaries

St. Paul. Miun.. Dee. P)-Thc
big three must pay the salaries of
the five employees Of the Mime sofa
railroad and warehouse commission
whose increase was the sub icct Of
court litigation. the supreme court
held today in affirming the Ramsey
county district court.
The Big Three by which the de
partment Of administration and fl
nance is known, is composed of the
governor. the comptroller and the
auditor Of the state and were given
power by the las: legislature to con-
solidate and reorganizc various de-
partmentS of the state in the lnCc.-
est Of efficiency and economy.
The supreme court held that the
department .ofs administration and
finance had not classified the en-
pioycs of the railroad commission
nor had it fixed a scale Of salaries
for such employees. 1t further held
that the employees were entitled to
the salaries and that there was no
legal ground for disappearing the
estimate for such salaries.
Employees Not Classified
Litigation was started shortly fol-
lowing the organization of the big
three" when that body refused to
grant salary increases to five en-
ploycs Of the commission. Ivan
Bowen, member Of the commission,
started litigation on the grounds
that the department. Of adm!nistra-
tion and finance did not make clas-
sificatiOn, hence could not dictate
the salaries of that state depart
ment's employees. Mr.. Bowen fur
ther argued that the finance depart
mcnt had no authority to fix indivi-
dual salaries.
The supreme court held that the
depa rtmcnt Of administration and fl
nance cannot fix salaries Of indivl-
dual employees. but that the act Great
ing it authorizes that body to class
ify and grade the employees Of vari-
Gus officials. departments and agen-
cics Of. the state, and TO fix salary
scales for the various classes and
grades so established.
1t further holds that the railroad
and warehouse commission is sub
Iject to the provisions of the law
creating the big three
