The lace coate are to be worn, but Instead of being all white or ail black they are most fre quently of lace dyed to match the color of tha gown. This Is true in tha hand some carriage and dinner gowna which are snown in some or tne Dest snops. Folds and tucks aet onto tha bodice in successive rows help to give the new , affect aa to sleevws. ' ' Tha newest skirts have a pleas In r concession aa to comfort In the pleated aides, or if these are omittea, tne oaac Is made with a straight full pleat which allows of fullness. Empire and prin cess modem, witn tne moained jumper, will be In the correct mode all aummer, and the sheerest and aoftest fabrics are the favorites. A touch of hand em broidery will ba seen on most of the aummer gowns and the girl who can employ her Lenten hours of rest with this kind of pleasant work la aure to have the pretty gowns which will be ad mired by her less adept sisters. Another .pretty feature will ba the embroidered 'parasols, which can be made by tha skillful girl snd which will ba extremely stylish. They can be mounted after the embroidery Is dona Embroidered gloves are much liked In the east and will aoon be shown with the summer things here. Self color is the favorite for tha embroidery. Em broidered hosiery is also modish and can ba done by the girl who fancies it Tha smallest hoops are the ones to Use for this, and either a conventional design or scattered flowers with smooth dots will be In good taste. Indeed there la plenty to keep tha busy girl occupied during Lent. All of tha linen and crash' gowns are helped by a bit Of hand embroidery and the oriental coloring on tha dull groundwork are beautiful. at The Easter Party. Frorn Woman'a Home Companion. THE principal feature of a child's Eaater party wss a hunt for rab bits of every kind, from minia ture candy ones to a real live white rabbit, which occupied a small gilt bird cage prettily decorated- with ribbons. Before tba hunt the children had no knowledge that there waa to be a live rabbit at the party; they were told that bunnies were scattered about the lower floor of the house, and that the child who found the largest one would havo the first prize. Numerous other things, auch as peanuts, small candles, and llttlo bare of broken candy, were hidden in the varloua nooks and corners, to the iov of the little hunters. A live rabbit makes a delightful first prize. A mechanical toy rooster was used for a centeroloce. which If wound up will nod lta head steadily and with great regularity ror nair an nour. aucn a toy Is, however, too expensive for the average home, and tnere are many er f active and less costlv centerpieces. An extremely pretty one can be made of while cotton Datting, rormea in ine ehane of a hen's nest, the outside of which should be eovd with smllax, maidenhair fern or Easter flowers. The nest may ba filled with prettily dyed Easter eggs, on which are written the names of tha children. If the names are written on the egga with a piece of wax, aharpened Ilka a pencil, before the aggn ara dyed, tha waxed places will not dye. Little brown rabbita can ba bought for 6 cents apiece, and when filled With candy make very pratty favors. 1 L" One of the New Coats In Which the Side Back Is Featured. Student and Faculty. ane can near many opinions con- I I earning ' tha clash between stu- V dents and faculty at Stanford, ranging from tha revolutionary Idea of extrema youth who shouts for personal liberty or death, to that of conservative aga which sees In all revolt only the necessity for clamping on tha screws mora tightly. Isn't there room between thesa for the mother's aide of such a question, and is it not a view which pressea more and more for a bearing as college ranks Increase and traditions grow? Tha colleges are recruiting from the best blood of tha nation. They ara mtherlnff tha best bred, the most pro- fresslve, tha brainiest young men of he country. And It Is at college that a young man first comes consciously to take his- moral and mental stand points. His whole view of life, his conscious purpose, Is formed under his college training. It Is a serious con sideration whether the college atmos phere la to make for culture and progress and sound morality or whether It Is to foster loose ideas concerning temperance and sobriety and throw the weight of lta influence Into the mak ing or personal iiceriy. personal , ud ertv as though our American youth needed any coaching along that line. Forbidding drunkenness on the cam-' fius is all right, say soma of these ntrepld young men, but to do away with liquors in the rrat houses is an infringement on the, rlghta of man hood, and thia they utterly . repudiate. When mattera reach such a fevered state there la apt to be an omission of soma of the larger Issues of tha question, by tnese less mature rnmaa. Would any mother who Bends her boy to college .regret the elimination of liquors from the frat houses? And aren't the mothers, especially Jf they ara making soma personal sacrifices In order to Keep ineir noys mere, un serving of a little attention?--. now nDuuv in miners anu mora PILES CURED, AT HOME BY NEW ABSORPTION MEJHOD If yon suffer from' bleeding, itching, blind or protruding piles, send me your address and I will tell you how to cure r ourself at home by the new 'absorption reatment; and. will also send some of Mhle home treatirtentfrea for trial with references from your own locality it requested.

And whom do those fathers and mothers hold responsible? From first to last, the college authori ties. Parents send their boys to these men to be develODed. to be educatoil to attain that finer, higher purpose In life that shall fit them for life's stern est -duties. It Is primarily the duty of thecolleBO authorities to see that this Is accomplished; anu If thev see that there ara deterrent Influences at work. preventing tha accomplishment of this supreme purpose, what ahall they do? Sit quietly back and let the rebellious youths have their own way? Give up the" scientlfio and literary pursuits of the college and turn it into a liberty hall and an athletic arenar Perhaps tha young men and maidens who are so ready, with their promises to walk out unless their whims are acceded to have forgotten that tha supreme purpose of education is the making of character and that the col lege faculty and officers are to be held responsible for failure of the students under them to attainthat end. Liberty and lawlessness sometimes run very close together. It Is to ba feared that President Jordan has been so unfortunate as to gather' under him a considerable number of those young men whom he so aptly described In his memorable statement: "You cannot fasten a 12,000 education on a 60-cent boy," or else there exists a mistaken Idea as to what constitutes personal liberty. "The best thing about your own rights." said one of the wise men, "Is that being- your own you may give them up. In other words, personal liberty is In lta best sense, the priv ilege of denying one's lower appetites for the benefit of others.

I. It at The New Sleeyes. HILE tha Japanese sleeve is still style. It Is really a drapery. can ba worn over small under- sleeves as well aa over large onea One sees It on many elaborate Indoor gowna and thin spring suits, and espe cially In the little separata coat which will be so smart later on. Tha fashionable sleeve for elaborate house gowns, which Includes all formal and afternoon occasions. Is In the Dlrec- tolre faahion. These are in one piece. wrinkled from snouiaer io wnai, men flaring well over the hands. They ar; mud a of lace or 'embroidered net and nut into iowiii of almost every color and fabric, with a tiny touch at neck and atock to give harmony. In one frock of a dueer apricot yellow soft silk, the sleeves were wrinkled around the arm, fitted Into armhole without fullness and fastened down the entire length with small green enameled buttons through a flap that was piped with dull green satin. The rest of the gown was almost fitting, but In empire lines, without any flare at foot and a short pointed train. Tha triple yokes, which ara more fashionable than one yoke, were of dull string colored lace at top with stock of same, then an embroidered net one overlapping It at top, and tha third and lower yoke, was of apricot chiffon laid Into tlny'gathered tucks, caught to the upper lace with a piping of the green satin. t If H Safeguarding Jewels. A SMALL chamois bag to be hung about the neck under tha bodice is absolutely necessary .in traveling for the aafe keeping of money and val uable Jewelry. In plain chamois thia bag haa been In use for some time, but this year tha cnamois is moat aitrac-, lively Incased In bright-colored silk and In an embroidered linen cover that can be taken off.-without . difficulty and washed. "f ' . .Already th silk-covered bags are to be purchased In all department stores, but if one chances to possess a chamois case that has proved In every way satis factory, a cover for It can ba easily made. . A place , of ribbon tha width of the bag is doubled over Into aa envelope Shape WHO. av imo xasiening wnu m thread aye or loop" and pearl button and tha case Is com Dieted. Tha ribbon. of course, may bo bordered with a nar row edging or laoe or a nana or xeaui ared stitching, but is often left quite unadorned. A stripe or a flowered rib bon are both effeotl ve, but In a flowered ribbon a small pattern la necessary, so that tha design may coma in tha cen ter at both front and back bf tha case. Tha embroidered linen and batiste bag coverings ara extremely pretty. A thin China silk lining under tha linen will hide the color of the ohamola, and show attrantlvalv throurh tha white, as Decl al ly If it Is embroidered in an openwork design. ' A hemstitch or a narrow laoe border will finish the lingerie case at tractively. .' . " Tha ribbon -which fastens the bag about tha neck should be' stitched to the bag under tha flap, so that there will ba no danger of the case slipping off when tha bag la opened. It would be well to sew tna ends or tna riDDon o father under the bowknot or rosette so hat tha knot could not possibly open. Bometlmea thaaa Jewel baga ara worn on a small gold or silver chain, but ribbon securely fastened is quite as convenient to wear and reauy lesa naDie to oreaa or open. K tt R Fads and Fashions. Br-Florence Fairbanks. MEW TORIC March 18, The cotton gooda that are being made up ' into morning frocks, skirt, waist, or Jumper dresses ara unusually pretty this year. White goods Is not ss PPP lar and for thia reason the colored ma terials ara moae attractive. Tha sephyr ginghams ara seen In beautiful plaids which show tha naw colors of the sea son. Checks are very popular and also material checked off by a aingla line. RMiKh rlnrhimr ralateaa Dlaue and cotton cheviota ara showing striped bor ders ss a lat,e novelty and figured or striped madras and percales will come in lor tneir snare oi popuiamy. v-umma with lovely printed bordera will be nail Intn man v rharmlnr frocks. White linen -crash with a colored border of stripes and cotton mouasellne witn a deep flower border will ba received with mucn ravor. Tha new lacea are seen In great ya rletr and their designing is exquisite. rh Orank kav dealrn Is aopearlng in all the different kinds of lace although it is seen mostly in tne hi. uau ana jmui tlngham laces. Fillet loses no popu larity and is shown In wide and nar row bands, and Insertions with the same Oreek key design. It Is very fashionable when combined with heavy laces such as Irish, Venlae. and also tha fine Valenciennes. The silk Brus sels net In square or diamond-shaped mesh Is used for the foundation of em broidery done In soutache and raised work. I have seen one especially pretty suit of leather-colored chlfon panama with tha anu&re-meshed Brussels net a shade lighter laid over the Jacket and embroidered over the greater part of the ground. Rn numerous ara the different ahapea mrA mimmm nt tha near hats that It seems quite possible for every woman to find something becoming. Soma of the well dressed women choose one hat that Is becoming and keep that shspe for all their hats as long aa t'ney like. There may be slight changes In the shape or the anale In which it Is worn but the original style Is still noticeable. The small toques are to oe worn, aurao uem mad . entirely of flowera or f lowera and foliage with a alg soft plume at the left. The otner extreme is tne enor mous hat with the brim 12 Inchea at least and usually more, and a father low crown. Then there are hats with high round-top crowns and rather narrow brims that turn up at the edge in front and on one side. Some have square-top crowns, very high and two-inch brims with the lert side turned up Close to tne crown. Many of the brims are drooping either large and Irregular or small and perfectly even. The wlde-brlmmed hats are usually tilted at one side and are often much wider on the left side than on the right. The coarse straws are preferred this year, and those a little over an inch wide with the scalloped edge are very fashion able. The narrow coarse straws are seen and the chips, leghorns and Pana mas will be worn at first. The fine hair braids and stiff square meshed braids will be much In vogue. All hats are trimmed high, tha crown being aurrounded by flowers, plaited ribbon or lace, or completely covered over with tall riowers or plumes standing right up at the appropriate place..- HINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS I - Egg Cookery. T is always a .satisfaction to the city housewife who has to plan the fam ily meals and also to consider ex pense, when eggs drop ia price. They are reasonably cheap now and may be used freely ia the household. These directions for egg cookery are given by Fannie Merritt Farmer: ' ' Scrambled eggs may be varied' in many ways by the addition of different ingredients; but first let tne write of filaln sorambled egga, for I find them so mpertectly prepared by tha average cook. Beat Ova egga slightly, using a silver fork. Add one half teaspoon ful of salt, one eighth of a teaapoonful of pepper and one fourth of a cupful of milk. Heat an omelet pan, put la two tablaapoonfula of butter, and when melt ed tarn in the mixture. Cook until of a creamy consistency, constantly stir ring and scraping with a tablespoon from the bottom and aides of tha pan; then remove at once to a warm serving dish. Four tablespoon fuls of grated mild American cheeaa la a very' acceptable addition to scrambled egga One half cupful of asparagus tips, one half cup ful of sauted -mushroom caps or one third of a cupful of finely chopped oooked ham may also be used to give variety. Scrambled eggs (slightly underdone) poured over aix slices of milk toast.. sprinkled with four tablespoonfuls of grated mild cheese, then put in the oven to melt the cheese and finish cooking tha eggs, are known aa eggs a la Buck ingham, and are. to my mind, simply delicious. Sorambled eggs with tomatoes are too good to paaa by. Fry one slice of onion and four tablespoonfuls of butter two minutes, then remove the onion. Add ona and three fourtha cupfuls of canned tomatoes and two teaspoonfuls of sugar, and cook two minutes; then add six eggs aiignuy beaten, one hair teaspoon' ful of salt and one eighth f a teaspoon' ful of pepper. Cook same as scrambled Tnere ara many dishes or whicn "hard-boiled" eaas form a nart My favorites ara egg a la Soublse, ourrled aggs, eggs a la Bechamel and scalloped eggs. For egga a la Soublse, boll onions, and rub through a sieve; there should be one cupful of onion puree. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add one and one half tablespoonfuls of flour, and stir until well blended: then 'add the onion puree. As soon as heated, add one third of a cupful of milk and the yolks of two egga Add Ave "hard-boiled" eggs cut In slices, and season highly wth aalt and paprika Just before serving sprinkle with finely chopped parsley. Good Raised Breads. Sally Lunn Beat four egga stiff, add to them half a cupful of melted butter, a teaapoonful of salt and a pinch of soda; a cupful of warm milk and a cupful of warm water In which has been dissolved half a yeast-cake.

Fancy separate blouses and those worn THE MOTHERS' CORNER I Artless Atmosphere. pOR a woman to possess an artless H air is a charm greatly to be desired, says the - Philadelphia Telegraph, but for a mother country to persist In maintaining an artlesa atmosnhere is quite another matter, and one to be de- p io rea. Art is education and inspiration to the .public who are enabled to bene- nt oy it, ana any means that deprives tha common people of good art deprives them of one of the arreatest forces for mental and moral uplifting. A Girl's Way- ITH the assistance of thirty-two hens. Miss Maud L. Loud, West cnester county, .; New Torg,. is paying her way through college. During November December- and January Mlsa Loud sold to private customers in New York City 225-dosen eggs at 65 cents a dozen, r Along with her atudtea she did all the work required In caring for the fowls, collecting and selling all. the eggs within twentv-four hours from the time they were laid. W1 To Reduce Fever, u-rnm the Ladles' World. T IS not so much tha custom as for merly to give medicines for the re duction of fevers. Before the coal tar products, phenacetln, antipyrln and a number of auch drugs had been dis covered, now some 25 years ago, quinine waa areatly depended upon to bring down the temperature. Sponging with moderately cold water, now used very commonly in tne nospiiais, is comiori lng and will bring down the temperature considerably. This can be dona under the bed clothes, and la not ao much a ahncir aa the cold baths which Some physicians recommend. Tha cold baths snouid oe oruerea oy pnjaiuama, uu superintended by one sufficiently skilled to Judge of the state of the patient Sponging the palms of tha hands' with a cloth wrung out of water and aloo hol. half of each, will cool the hands and be very grateful to tha patient - At the aame time apply to the Head cold cloths. Place a block of Ice in a basin by tha bedside, upon which . put the pieces of cloth of a slee to fit the fore head when folded two or three times, and replace tha heated ones every few minutes. These applications ara grate ful to the patient and will prevent tha fever from affecting the brain and as sist in lowering tha temperature. It It The Child's Garden.

Fon his flower garden he wants no delicate feeble things that have to be f tampered. He want honest rugged, ndependeut things that will stand up under a reasonable amount of abuse.

He will like forget-me-not, and pansles, and honest rugged marigolds and stocks and holly hocks, and scarlet runners, by - all means, for they are about the only thing Oiat will keep pace with his ambitions. Sweet peaa he will enjoy, too. and they need much picking which will give him something to do during the long vacation. By all means let the child have his rarden. even if it Is a small one.

A New Tork correspondent makes a suggestion that might be made practical In other com munities. This is to tear down the di viding fences between tha back yards of city dwellings and throw tha space Into a common playground for each block.

There are novelty silks In summer nhadea nf arecn. blue and brown show ing stripes of white about a elxteenth of an Inch wide. Pin lines quite near to gether, sir zag and wavy lines end broad stripes are very attractive. The new foulards show large wavy llnea with tiny white dots and rings -the size of a Quarter, scattered over tha surface at equal distances. The rough silks are very neat, shown in new colors with narrow, invisible stripes. Some have for the border a broad stripe or a contract' lng color.

AND THEN perhaps your mind turns again to tha housekeeping of this home of 1,000 men. writes a correspondent on the United States ship Louisiana to the New York Sun. You visit the cook's galley, where the head cook and several assistants are busy night and day preparing the meals ior ine men witn reonot stoves ana great caldrons. You see the copper cof fee and tea tanks, the aoup tanks, the bean tanka and tha rest. You see the electrically operated potato paring ma chine. Just like the one used in the mod el kitchen of the world at West Point You visit the butcher's shop, where about 2,000 pounds of meat is served out and cut up each day. Then you go to the scullery and see tna dishwashing machines, also copiea from those in use at West Point and all large hotels. You visit the bake shop with its intense heat and the bake room's' store' shop, where the loaves of nreaa are piled up line so many corns of wood. Yoir go to the sick bay and see a hospital in operation comparable favorably in every way to the best ap pointed hospital on land. You visit tha operating room with its fullest set of surgical appliancea You even go to tne brig and you aea wnere men can oe confined In cells or left out in tha open ao that they may have company and simply be restrained, the latter being the prevalent form for light 4pnnisn menta You may attend the "mast," where tha captain every day holds hla police court ror light offenses, and you may read In tha log what has been done In each ease. You may attend the sum mary courts-martial, where more seri ous aaes ara tried by a board or offi cers, but you must leave tna room when the board goes in executive ses sion to form its judgment on tha case and fix the penalty If the accused Is louna guuiy. .

You can see the men once a month paid off In long lines, each man's signature attested by the division orncer. So you wander about hither and thither without any well-developed plan and run across this and that form of employment and hard dally toll and you wonder how it can be, with so much to do and so little time In which to do it that proficiency In any line of work can be secured. Familiarity with' It how ever, shows that auch a condition Is ap- firoxlmated, and you begin to feel abso utely confident that If tha ship ever did get Into a scrap all thia work and drill would ahow lta effect at onco in a way that would make you proud of the men and the shlpa of the navy.
