. JHany changes are noted In the princess,
one being the following of the ancient
v costume of Greece. The dress' of one
." piece is eareleasly folded over the bust
end slightly draped on the left side.
Then it is caught by ornate buttons and
loops. In another style the upper part
ss developed into a tunlo which lies in
unbroken folds to the knees and falls
over an underskirt of the same material.
-Lighter shades of blues, browns,
arrays and greens will be seen in tho
new spring tailored suits. Sulphur has
almost taken the place of copper color
and rust and cigar browns promise 10
be favorites. Tokay and chamois are
also liked. Rose pastel, a touch of bril
liant flame oolor is used to Ktve dis
tinction to black, iron gray and brown
costumes. Black is used for toning
down costumes of a brilliant color.

The public library and the many

school circles with literature bearing
on the subject. Uy consulting good

There is a great variety In these coats.
In trimming and in cut. The Antoinette
wraps, pelerines and stoles all show
Tiovel touches. Dressy boleros and
coatees are made with waistcoats of
light colored cloth, velvet, silk or Per
sian embroidery. The hip-length Hu3
ar coat Is very smart, but the three
quarter and full length coats are every
bit aa popular.
The much worn tailored waists are
. showing a good deal of color. Madrns
la very attractive with colored printed
clusters of flowers or spotted colored
effecta on a white ground. Colored
etrlped batiste la a great favorite.
There are beautiful Japanese and Chin
ese embroidered crepe waists that are
worn for both plain and dressy occ
ilons, and the embroidered pongee and
tussore silk walsta are decidedly chic.
Plaid surahs and satin de Chine are also
In the front
The fact that akirta for walking are
to be . extremely short' means that the
- shoes will be noticed more than ever
: and therefore, should be as perfect s
possible. For every day street wear,
Ian ehoes will be -worn the same aa last

black patent leather boot with a white
ton, which can be-worn with any light
colored cloth gown. Some prefer that

shoes that are worn on tne street.
; These' are rather abundantly embrold
ered in gold flowers. But the gold bIId-
pera for house wear are very dainty
witn go j a rose upon tne loe.
v Hats of the mushroom shape bid fair
to be very popular again this season.
: The wide, flat sailor shape is much
favored and ' also the wide brim that
droops gracefully and is sometimes tllt-
ea at one siae. xne targe prim mat
foils at the front and at the left side
will be seen In some elaborate hats.

the spring millinery, but Paradise and

A charming gown that was noticed at
a five o'clock tea the other day was of
Atlantic blue voile made with a sur
plice front crossing over a vest of
1 white lace. The sleevea were long, and
winkled down over the knuckles. The
long coat was Atlantic blue cloth
matching the s-own and was beautifully
trimmed with Russian embroidery and
xacea witn Diue shk. it was fastened
togetner in front with handsome orna
ments that harmonized with the blue,
The hat which made this toilette com
plete was of blue felt with a big blue
xeamer curling over tne Drim.
Neck scarfs will be an attractive
feature at the bealnnlne- of nnrlnir.
They are made of thin silk, chiffon or
Bilk mull and have a Persian border or
ne or misty flowers. It Is thrown
around the neck with the ends reaching
to the waist or below and is sometime
finished with fringe. These are to be
much worn with decollette teagowns and
eome women now are wearing them to
the theatres with a low necked gown
The hip scarf Is becoming auite the
fashion. This can only be worn by a
slender person and then it alves a
cnarmmg erxect. The scarf Is drawn
around the hips tightly and knotted
in the back with the ends falling to the
hem of the gown. With an empire or
.princess areas, tnig is aecmeaiy pretty.

woman's greatest-charm. The intoler
ance and the eelf-centeredness of youth
frequently detract from other lovely
qualities, of young women. Advancing
age, except la notable cases, also steals
from loveliness or character. Too orten
with length of days the spirit ceases to
grow, centers itself in the narrow cares
of the moment, or reverts to the out
worn tracks of the past.
The richest, freest span of a woman's

lowing the early twenties. The senlth
Is perhaps in the thirties, though I
would set no limit on that side. Then,
to the ripened graces of youth are add
ed the treasures of experience; wisdom
bought, perhaps, of sorrow, sympathy
learned from suffering, understanding
of the helghta and depths of human na
ture, of the mighty mystery of life.
After first youth has begnn to for
get Itself in remembering others, after
there has come the sense of tears In
mortal things, and with It the assurance
that round our restlessness flows the
Eternal rest, then her charm Is at Its

valuable hints concerning the accommo

I give her a mirror large
enough for her to dress by properly, and
provide her with her own towels, bath-
towels, wash-cloths and talcum powder.
Thia latter, with a Jar of borax, will
keep her cool and sweet, while a small
box of vaseline or cold cream will keep
her hands in good order In cold weather.
I provide her with a whisk-broom, a
work basket in which I Dut a snool of
medium white thread-and one of black,
a paper of graded needles, a pair of

that she can keep her clothing In order.

The Bravest Woman Jn America.
From the Delineator
T IS a big title, that of the "bravest
woman in America," but the woman
to whom it has been given by the
Society of the American Cross of Honor
has fully earned it. For nearly 60 years
Ida Lewis, keeper of the Lime Rock light
n Newport harbor, has watched over the
treacherous water of the bay. ready to
respond to tne nrst signal or distress.
Eighteen human beings owe their lives
to her prompt action, and although her
years number 70, Miss Lewis declares
that when the cry for help comes she
will take her oars and go to the rescue.
Miss Lewis came to Lime Rock in
1864 with her father, who had been an
notated keeper of the lighthouse. Upon
his death, in 1879. Miss Lewis was ap
pointed to fill the place. Her first
rescue was accomplished In 1868, when
the boat of two soldiers who were on
their way from Newport to Fort Adams
was capsized, miss iyewis put out in
her boat, pulled them out of the water,

CHARITY for he men is not one of

To Extend Farm Colony.
THE committee in charge of the
disbursement of the Baron de
Hlrsoh Fund has decided to ex
tend considerably the work of the Jew
ish agricultural colony at Alliance, N.
J., which was established several years
aao as an exDerlment.
Several thousand more acres of
ground have been purchased In Cumber
land and Salem counties, which will be
cut up into twenty-acre tracts. A
frame house, barn and stable will be
built on each tract. Work on thirteen
of these buildings will begin imme
diately. Baron de Hirsch was a well known
Jewish philanthropist, who, was at the
head of a great banking house in Aus
tria. , On his death, ten years ago, he
bequeathed a sum amounting to about
110,000,000 to be applied to improving
the condition tof Jewish residents of the
TInited States. The establiehment of
the farming colony at Alliance, which
has been eminently successful, was the
first application of this fund.

Kitchen Kinks.
EVER throw away empty cotton-
reels, says an English contributor,

hundred uses. In most kitchens there
is a row of nails on which aprons and
dishcloths are hung, with the result that
they are frequently torn and, rust
marked. This will be prevented if you
force on each nail one of your empty
reels; nothing could make a more useful

la or gasoline seem only to make stains
more prominent. Thia is partly because
the cleaning agent has not been adapted
to tbe material, and also because the
work Is Improperly done. ,
It makes no difference whether silk,
wool or cotton Is to be cleansed, there
must be a fresh piece of cloth under
neath to absorb the soiled liquid that
soaks through. Otherwise the cleaning
fluid, laden with dirt, has no place lo
go and simply spreads over the original
piace. several layers or RDsoroenc ma
terial underneath are absolutely neces
sary, and it is doubtful if anything is
quite as good for this purpose as cheese
cloth.
Next to this condition it Is Important
to spread the soiled place out On a
smooth surface, (that the spot may be
watched to see that no dirt ring Is
forming. A skirt board or table is beat
for this, and the absorbent and scrup
ulously fresh cloth beneath ahouM ha
Iftrge enough to move several times so
that the old wet dirt maynot be rubbed
in again.
A bit of old white flannel Is the beat
for wetting and rubbing, and thera
should be another with which to work
the place dry, or nearly so. With care
such as this home cleaning is auite
practicable.
For removing grease snot a from
white linen or cotton goods use soap
or weak lyes; for colored calicoes, warm
soapsuds; for woolens, soapsuds or am
monia; for silks, benxine. ether, mag
nesia or chalk.
Spirits of wine, will clean soiled silk
embroidery. Dip a camel's hair brusn'
In It and brush the trimming till the
dirt is removed.

Safe or Unsafe?
A WOMAN conceived the Idea of hid
ing hor finest jewels where there
was the least danger of a burglar
looking for them, so she had the alarm
clock made with a little receptacle In
which she kept her treasures. No
burginr would touch an alarm clock foaaf
anything, and certainly one would noti
carry orr mo cneap little article. It
sounds like a reasonable thing to do for
safety. But why did she tell it? Now
we shall all be In danger of having
the alarm clocks stolen.
