ing on this worthy work Of distribut-
ing milk to families where It is most
needed. The group, which does not

organized but q few months ago, and
already much valuable work has been
done. Funds, however, have almost
been depleted for supplying milk by
this group to undernourished children
and in many cases to adults. The
Ladies of Charity's method of deliv-

being granted to man in another
prison who had little time left to en-
JOY anything on this earth.
When the warden refused permis-
sion for this, the man told guards he
would seek the intercession Of the
Governor to get him what he wanted.
Strange, isn't it, that a man about
to enter the next world should care
SO much about getting "a few drinks
, of repeal liquor" Stranger, too, that
he should see nothing inappropriate
in taking up the qualification of his
desire with the Governor of the State!
Our first reaction to this is, "he
will have so little time left to enjoy
anything, why not give him what he
wants?" But there is an interesting
may once in a very long time be per-
mitted.
If you stop to think about it there
Is nothing surprising in the fact that
q man with such distorted sense of
values should end his life in the death
house Of q prison. A man who sees
nothing disproportionate in asking
the attention of the Governor of the
State for his own whim or fancy is
not likely to count the cost to others
of anything he may want.
People whose momentary desires
are of the most supreme importance
in their scheme of life are among the
most likely candidates for the other
side of prison bars. 1t may seem a
far cry from asking the Governor to
allow liquor in ones cell and stick
ing up" man for the money to buy
what one wants-but both are actu-
ated by the same primary impulse
to get what one wants.
It is with children that we should
start to tnculcate the sense Of values
which keeps ones desires in their
proper place-from the cradle that
the ability must be developed for do
ing without getting our own way.

Paint Long a Protection.

Paint, as a protection against the
elements, has an ancient history.
Noah's ark is described as pitched

against the floods. According to Pliny,

ships with a preparation of boiled wax,
after which neither the sea nor the
wind nor the sun can destroy the

a difficult style for most women,
and with this in mind, designers
have turned their attention to
creating a variety of new models.
The shallow crown continues to
hold its own in the fashion world.
Attempts were made this past sea-
but women would not have them.
Brims vary in width. Many new
capeline models are shown, and
sailors in their new verson
promise to be fashion leaders.
More attention is being given to
trimming Bunches of flowers,
ruches, ribbons and cuts of velvets
and taffetas seem to be cropping
up everywhere.
WOMEN are more accessory-minded
w than ever, and there is no ques-
tion that, with the great stock to
select from, they are going to be able
to satisfy every whim. Let me warn
you - this Spring your accessories
must match your costume. Gone are
the haphazard days when anything
in the way of a bracelet, necklace.
clip or brooch would do. The wise
woman will take a sample of the
frock with her when she is shopping
for accessories to accompany 1t.
Never has jewelry been so brilliant
in color or so artistic in form. Brace
lets are as huge as cuffs. They may
be worn in pairs, one on each arm, or
in a series on one arm. Clips very
often accompany them as companion
pieces. The more brilliant colors are
in galalith, a composition which re-
produces faithfully the leading colors
for Spring. Some pieces are studded
with hobnails, others show geometric
ornamentation in appliqued silver
wires.
Metal jewelry is extremely wearable,

ALL sorts of smart accessories mark
the newest Partisan costumes
There are, for instance, necklets Of
thousands Of gold wires which cover
the entire fronts of gowns. These
wires. Etruscan gold in color, are fas-
tened with huge, fiat clasps that
adorn the back of the neck
Bracelets are wider than ever be-
fore, some of the metal ones for eve
ming being as deep as a cuff Fol
daytime there are many of the round
ed crystal variety and others of Ro-
manesque plated gold in leaf design
There are very large, lumpy- looking
crystal rings in beautiful colors. some
rich, rare reds being particularly strik-
ing. and engraved crystals in pastel
shades are another novelty.
The evening diadem becomes in

curving over the top Of the head. It

Bags, belts and matching purses are
made Of smooth kidskin. on which pin
dots and pea sized dots are stamped
In color-white on black. or red on
black and navy blue. These are smart,
Springlike and very fresh IN appear
ance.
Evening purses are made to match
the wrists Of long gloves. Some are
of white MORE studded with rhine
stones. others Of interlaced strips OF
black kid.
FLAT wool jersey is being made up
into dresses, seemingly as a pro-
test against the looser types of wool
which do not stand the test of con-
slant wear. Washable nght-colored
angora fabrics are used for simple
daytime frocks, and there is popu-
lar scarlet woolknit that has q blis-
tered surface.
Collarless Winter coats in warm
colored wools are favored because

For Spring the return Of the cape
coat seems more than likely. It will
probably be rather short. with fairly

TT is entirely in keeping with the
times that the new Spring sill
houette should express motion
i Spring. 1884, is going to see
everything moving. Spirits are
rising with the prospects of better
conditions, business is getting into full
swing, people are going places, doing
things-neW interests have put the
whole world into action. And so it
is only natural that style should make
the feminine world appear breezy and
vigorous. A flowing effect is OBJ
served in the new clothes. Though
the lines remain straight and slim in
appearance, greater width is creep
ing in at the hem. Skirts have a
free and easy rather than studied
air Of stiffness.
The wrap-around skirt is very pop
Hlar in the Spring mode, and con-
forms with the demand for comfort
IN fashions. Slim to the eye, 1t has
unseen material which expands when
the wearer walks Not infrequently
the new models have the skirt OPEN
ing line carried on up the bodice to
the shoulder, the line being accentu-
ated from shoulder to hem with an
interesting lingerie trim. One of the
dresses sketched today illustrates this
mode.
Another tendency toward COM
fort is in sleeves. The set-in
sleeves are seen in the newest
street and daytime frocks. This
does not mean that all sleeves are
TO be plain and straight. The
character developed in them for
the past several seasons could not
fade from the fashion picture with
out decided style loss. So if you
are the type who wears the Vic
torian sleeves with charm, do not
feel you must forego them. Many
of the Spring coats stress the
leg-o'-mutton sleeve in the mod
ern variations.
\ ND here is another note Of in
IA terest to women who have en-
joyed the high and wide shoulder
line. In spite of all the talk about
this line being on the wane, many OF
the French couturiers are still show
ing it.
A new and vital interest in gloves
as an important accessory has re-
suited from the popularity of sleeves
with width introduced at the elbow
and also the new three-quarter push
ups. While gauntlet effects, showing
either a double or single contrast
ing cuff, are favorites, there are many
quaint wrist-length models. 1t is
considered ultra-smart to wear many
bracelets between the ruffled edge OF
these new wrist-length gloves and the
sleeves ending al the elbow.
Double -tiered collars, so popular
tlnis Spring, are another inspiration
for multiple gauntlets. They blend
n with the picturesque lines and
give that final note Of completion
which our costumes must have.
Women with conservative tastes
will be delighted to learn of the con-
tinued vogue Of the conventional
eight-button glove, and also that the
long, smooth fitting sleeves have
brought a return of the simple one or
two-button wrist-length glove, in
vogue many seasons ago.
While the off-the-face hat Is
very much seen at the moment,

7 INTERESTING faSh1On news comes
out Of Paris at all times of the
year. It is not confined to the
i time of the designers openings.
Indeed. for the average woman
the between seasons" notes are often
Of the greatest importance, for then
is the time for study of trends. She
can discover which styles have been
accepted and which have been re-
jected. The dressmakers present and
sponsor the new modes, but it is the
women who buy clothes and wear
them who decide whether an innova-
ton will become fashion, or whether
it will remain merely an idea.
Sealskin has come into its own
again in Paris. most of it in a deep
golden brown shade. Our old stand
by, Hudson Bay SEAL is also interest
ing the French capital for the first
time this year.
Panther, made up into capes, is
new, and leopard is another popular
pelt. Black monkey fur is much in
evidence, being used for quaint little
mufts and as trimming on daytime
and evening costumes in black or
light colors. Black glace kid gloves
with large wide gauntlets, have their
hens turned forward toward the
hand to admit of an inset fringe Of
this same fur.
Despite all the talk, It looks as
though the wide and heightened
shoulder has not quite died after all:
indeed, there is a decided interest in
novel shoulder lines. Long tight
sleeves are very good but nevertheless
many houses make a point of inter-
esting slashes, cutouts. pinch -tucks
and shaped applied straps. All of
these trimmings may be placed any
where. Many of them are dropped
down low, while others are ct the
highest point.
WORTHS shoulders are padded,
w with distinct severity Of line
An advance note, seen on q dress
planned for Riviera wear, shows &C
Gordon pleats outstanding on each
shoulder. Another new sleeve fits into
the dress, in the raglan manner, but
has few broad tucks crossing the
material to heighten the shoulder and
is made in bishop style below.
There Is a definite return to the
frilled evening shoulder Knife pleat-
ings are used to surround the upper
arm or laid fiat upon the shoulder
straps to extend over the arm top.
The sudden appearance of very
large, fiat bows on the front of eve
ming or afternoon dresses is new.
Often this is so big that it spreads
over the whole front bodice and it is
either buttoned down or ornamented
with jeweled clips. Lelong makes
