(Style, Tips "VT7AS the crinoline girl with her YV riot of ruffles and stacks of petticoats really more fascinating or sensible looking than the trimly f rocked young women of today?" was asked of a number of shop people yesterday. "I don't think she was," said one. "She w.-vsn't half as useful. Her clothes hampered her. She couldn't get about os easily, for her garments were too tight in some places and too volumi nous in other places. We are adding the beauty of the old fashions to the sensible modern ideals this Spring." - 'No," said a man who is a women's flo'thes expert- "They were not half io .fascinating. Think of the fact that in tpite of their many gowns they were after all practically of the same pat tern, and compare them with the ward lobe of the modern girl with a costume for every occasion. "The crinoline girl had no tennis or golf suit, he didn't take an interest in outdoor sports. Half of the society tomances of today, it seems, are begun On the golf links, at the country clubs, on the tennis court, or some place where there is an exhibition of good fellowship and sportsmanly conduct" : Another man suggested that the modern girl had lost much of the femininity of the old-fashioned young woman and that it would make her mori interesting and subtle this year wince fashion permits her to be more old-fashioned. The young woman will tio well to copy the crinoline girl, wherever it is practical, and thus give to her wardrobe the charming attributes of . bygone modes, he said . There are several new garments that t ' 1 ' " ' ': 3 s . r , r ' A I f - v'-, 4 w ' " -i "-si? " Wat taxpt!&& r - - I ' Grove Photo. suggest Victorian periods, and the gowns of Louis XV. One Is a grey crepe de chine so sheer that it may almost be called chiffon. It buttons down the back and the plain waist top looks like the yoke of a child's "Mother Hubbard." This yoke reaches to the high straight girdle, which is toned with points of silver lace. Funny sleeves with puffs above the deep cuffs are touched with silver lace. The skirt is a double affair, wide, with both pleats and gathers. Another old-fashioned frock in an up-to-date cast is a rose with a cape that flies back recklessly, and a yoke that is ever so modest and comes just to the base, of the throat. The skirt, tucked and gathered, has three three inch tucks at wide intervals, so that It looks like a ruffled skirt. By Mrs E AWalker. The Smoke Tree Fairy. " NCE upon a time there lived in a Vy beautiful garden a young fairy, who was Just starting in life. She had selected this garden as the prettiest to be found. In the center was a tiny lake on which floated gentle swans. The little fairy was charmed. It was the first time she has ever set up housekeeping alone, and though she did not have gas, a porcelaian bath and a phone, she found it simply delightful In her new abode. So she looked about to select a tree which should be her future house. High above her head swung a rose bush at least what we now call a rose bush. But in, those days of awful long ago it was in reality a tree. This rose grew tall and stately. Its limbs reached out for yards on all sides and it was covered with great crimson roses. They hung in clusters that looked like bunches of living flame. By its side was a tiny, stunted brownish bush. Its leaves were eaten by worms, its little trunk twisted, and its whole appearance was of a neg lected, pitiful thing. The little bush saw the fairy gazing at the handsome rose tree, and knew that she would naturally make her home in a beautiful place like that. It felt it would love to have the fairy live with it, but hung its head in shame when it looked at the dirty appearance of the withering leaves and the dull bark. But the fairy was not one to judge by appearances alone. "I will put the plants to test," she said to herself as she noticed the ugly bush and kindly plucked a dead leaf from a branch. "Fine feathers and fine colors do not make a good bird or a good plant." So she chatted with the rose tree and said kindly words to the poor bush. "I am going away for a trip of a few hours," she said, "but I will be back by sunset." And away she glided over the garden wall till she vanished like, a silver mist melting into the gar den glow of the sunlight. Early in the afternoon there came an old man hobbling down the gar den path. His head was white, his clothing shabby, and he leaned wear ily on a cane. With a sigh he sank on the ground beneath the rose tree. When rested, he filled his big pipe with tobacco and began to smoke. Up among the roses and shining leaves the wreaths of smoke curled. "I wish you'd get out from under my branches," said the rose tree, shak ing off a petal from her head ir dis gust. "I hate the smell of smoke. I don't want tramps about my roots or beggars camping on my grass." The old man rose to his tottering feet sadly and began to walk away. The ugly little bush, whose heart was kind, called him back. "I have not much to offer," it said humbly, "but you are welcome to rest on the old sod here." When the man sat down the little bush did Its best to keep off the sun from his white head and fanned his face with its withered leaves. The old fellow smoked till a gray cloud rose above the bush. Then the smoke turned to green, which vanished into a pink glow that shone over the whole garden. In the midst of it was seen the little fairy. "I have made my test," she said, "and I have found out your true na tures. I was that old man. I saw the vain, proud heart of the rose and the kindness of this little bush. I will make my home here. But it will be an ugly bush no longer. It shall be big and handsome and its flower will be called 'smoke,' and this gray mist will make it one of the handsomest trees in the garden. "But for you, vain rose, I will clip your pride. No longer will you tower in grandeur above all other plants you shall retain your beauty, but in size will be only a bush."
