The time approaoiles when the seri ous senior must goiher way. It has been a charmlns ami romantic adven ture, this traveling along the flower bordered lanes of college life. What girl doesn't love It? What girl doesn't break from It with a terrible hurt some place under her fichu or her fluttering neck scarf T It Is life for saking poetry for everlasting prose. and going mayhap, no doubt, to the ' sterner prose of grocery bills and nousebold problems! And yeV, even In all that there may be a bit of poetry sow and then. Let us hope, for youth's sake, that there la. Berioue indeed Is the senior. There's the prom to be thought of, the final exams, the dear fellow who lives afar and ruffles and furbelows; there Is the most Important gown I No trifling , matter Is that forsooth. If one doesn t rrlr K. a ii 1 n 1 An atia's err a rlnatlncr fnv 1, what is the use or purpose of human . existence?

At auch m. rnomunt It 1b iin.Dera.tlve that tht serious senior appear to be a proud .and haughty beauty. The senior will have to bear much In the making and planning of the frock; there will be so very much amy and stupm taut aoout "sun pliclty." "ITouth," Aunt Arwllda will mourn, she having wrinkles a-plenty and gray hair that she covers wltn a Jane. "needs no adornment. Tne almpier the clothes a girl wears, the prettier the girl will look. Don't ruffle her. A tuck or two will do, and a ribbon girdle." "Will it?" questions the haughty Senior, considerably ruffled. "A ton " neau skirt, If you piease.- for me, with a bit of peplum to flutter me out, and something very sassy about the corsage, if you don't mind, old dear!" . . There will be, first of all, the grand fracas over the choice of the fabric. This year the problem is more diffi cult than ever, for the very good rea ' ion that materials are unusually beautiful. Batiste are glorious. Or gandies are good old staple stuffs. Dotted Swiss has come back, with a bounce. White netu, laces embroid ered with white beads, and ravishing . filet flounces are awaiting the con sideration of the serious senior who would make a wise selection. French BluiUn in rare, but It can be found, and embroidered voiles are considered excellent..,. 1 In the Illustration will be found .four lovely ladlea becomingly attired In the latent beau.iful lalaa of the pre Vailing modes. On the extreme left Is a sash bow, but it has a frock at tached to it. The bow Is not an ex aggeration. The original model Is of White taffetas. The front panel of the skirt extends to tue waist line, where It Is laid in side plaits. Over the hips and at the back is a wide pouf. The girdle bow Is in reality a portion of the ceinture, made also of taffetas. The elbow sleeves have one rather t ... I puff at the shoulder, finished with three frills of filet lace, which Is also used on the drop skirt, so as to ap I pear as a double ruchette beneath the hem of the sKirt. A vestee of filet forms a V in the surplice bodice. The frock is entirely of white taffetas, except for the lace, and le bouffant, spreading and billowy. f you are observing you will dis cover that the 8. a. thus depicted U. ears bows upon the heels of her I celestial slippers, and so proves that she is not the serious senior 'thai she pretends-like to be; she's an adorable I youngster like all the rest of them; I brain are only a pose in most of us, anyhow. - The girl with the hat wears a frock of mouselllne de sole, in creamy lus ctousness, as befits the springtime. Of two tiers is the skirt, with a nar row band of fine silk Insertion accen tuating the hems. The attached shir ring gives a gulmpellke design to the corsage, and Is most decidedly of the iVlctorian mode, imparting a low; irooplng shoulder line, very quaint, jretty and becoming to a slender young figure. The sleeves are novel, extending to point above the elbow. They are finished with a shirred band, edged Kvlth ribbons, which is so attached as to lift up into a spreading V In front. tThe girdle of bluette velvet Is reen- forced In its sartorial loveliness by the addition of roses in pastel shades, With foliage of sliver tissues. Embroidered batiste is the material employed for the third figure, whose mart little coiffure rests within the irole. The foundation skirt is made Very full, and Is cut so short that it acks ten inches from touching- the floor. The embroidered design is of onventlonal patterns. Over the foun nation kirt is a knee-length flounce f embroidered net. The corsage Is of white taffeta. Mth girdle to match, with pointed rest ends also, and a short frilly pep- um, giving the flare and distension bout the hips that are considered so ery Important by the high priest saes of fashion. The- "cashet" is imparted- by the un sua! cut of the bodice, which forms cape arapery wrucn is, in truth, a art of the sleeve itself. Such an ffalr is a sartorial problem, simple inough to members of the craft, but eauurully confusing and therefore pore than attractive. to the dress- baker who Is an amateur and a ovlce. The figure at the extreme right be tnga to the ruffled variety of sDrinir looming finery. The material Is a ne grade of voile. One ruffle adorns he , bottom of the skirt, and three-j mere rorm the hip draperies. Each iffle-bears a splendid border, of hand nbroldery In florette design. The -rthe- of the corsage makes a rounded pclc line, suggestive of the bebe waist, tne inree utile ruriies that form is sleeve are cunning and dainty. She ceinture is of chartreuse color iieruit satin. Nothing could be slm er or -more girlish than this de- ;niiui model. With materials of so dlanhanou a pave,- me unaer petticoat - !' of lm nance. - general rule,' satins e used, or pussy willows. Ofttimes e irocg useii cas a skirt that has iy a hem ana a few tucks by way of ornamentation, while the petticoat is trimmed with garlands of flowers, r.gedy rosettes of baby ribbon, clus ters of bows or other decorative ef fects, which show through now and then, giving the most alluring and t autlful sartorial impressions. Without douot. the favorite ma terial of the summer for blouses and frocks Is batiste. It has not yet become common, and you will be Bafe In selecting It. The plain is combined usually with the embroidered all-over, tiounces or Insertions. There is noth ing lovelier than sheer batiste, and it U particularly enticing in the natural color. Trre fabric is rich in possibiu ties, and it is always elegant and In good taste. .Jso, it launders more easily than organdie, and It does not shrink, as -voile does. The great trou ble with voile is that it has so many cheap Imitations that work up into cotton surfaces that look cheap and unattractive. For morning frocks linen Is in de mand, and some of the white suits are trimmed rather startllngly with linen In stripes, white and pink, white and bluette, or white and citron. Black and white stripes were so run to death last summer that we refuse to accept them this season in any form. The favorite hat to be worn with white linen suits is the cane seat sailor, which is very pretty, and the leghorn In mushroom shape. More and more favorably is the mushroom considered. By the middle of June this will bethe smartest shape, mack our words: Women have not yet learned that the mushroom has re turned to them. When they do -behold I The world will become a mad house of Joy and gaiety, for the scoopy "bunnlt" is much beloved by women of every age. - Colored voiles, suitable for general wear at the country club, come in checks, stripes and solid colors. There Is .a positive passion for blue in ail its lovely variations, and mauves and yellows are also good. Pink is fad ing away so utterly that one sees very little of It In the best models. A Japanese crepe that Is very beautiful, and which embroiders gorgeously and richly, la one ot the favorite fabrics for evening gowns. For the tallleur and the street suit of soft flowing lines the favorite color is crow blue, which is so near black that it scarcely counts. Serge and gabar dine retain their strong hold, and are combined with taffetas, which con tinues to be the best ever. In spite of all the efforts of the textile peo ple to push in various novelties. A little embroidery, sparingly used, shows up on these serge and gabar dine robes- Often the ceinture, tho pockets, the lapels and the collar have small decorative designs done in tan or old rose color floss. Jersey cloth Is used occasionally for street suits, but is more adaptej to the loosely fitted sports attire.. Kuchlngs are having a great vogue on taffeta dresses, and ruchettes with pinked edges are not uncommon. Skirts are wide, wider, widest. The wider they are the more they cost, of that you may be sure. The cor rect length Is seven inches from the ground, though the young girls are entitled to have theirs cut at ten. The exceedingly short skirt Is out of It. The fashlonists have decided that it is not ladylike to show one's stock ings. Strange I A lot of us were quite decided about that many years ago. However, the fashlonists are not to be disputed. They lead; we follow. They beckon; we run. Theycommand and we obey. Powerful fashlonists! No king can hold such sway as yours. Collars and Cuffs. The tallleur, in checked, striped or novelty, calls for a collar of light solid color. Dark suit fabrics are always im proved by such an addition, and a woman does not appear to be cor rectly dressed unless there Is some thing either light or fluffy about th neck. Pique, linen, broadcloth, satins and yen crepe Georgette are used. Favorite colors are flesh, peach, cham pagne, old gold and cream. A good quality of broadcloth Is desirable with picot edge and It can be laun dered so that it displays no sign of the tubbing. i Frequently the collar extends into a vestee, and in every case it Is de tachable. It la a rather nice idea to possess collars to match each cha peau. This gives a suggestion of friendly understanding between frock and hat. Light colored cuffs are a mistake. They soil easily and frequently make the hands look larger and more prom inent. To use light tones for pockets is likely to give a patchy .appearance to the Jacket; wise dressmakers avoii piecemeal effects. A combined coat hanger and trousers stretcher has been invented in which the two parts are so connected by lazy tongs that It can be folded compactly. eff .The first half of jihig alphabet was published last week.

A singular notion It is that anyone can permanently deceive others in respect to his real character. The no tion is both common and persistent Youth Is Inclined to believe it. Age Is not entirely free from the false Judgment. The ignorant accepts it easily, and the wise need to remind themselves of the self-revealing qual ities of genuine character. One may act a part, but It is a part only, and hot the whole, of oneself. The mask cannot be worn all the time. Counterfeit coins pass current for 'a while, but they finally come -to the scales of the mint and are cast out The lying witness discloses his lying In ways ofwhlcb h knows -not. The fraudulent practitioner cannot long hold out. It is also important to learn that any attempt to be other than oneself is not only useless deception but it is also weaKness in one's character and Ineffectiveness in achievement One is never too strong In himself, but to try to be other than nimseir results In declension Indeed. It stands for the minus and points on toward the minimum. Nature never designed one to be other than he is.- If she had so de signed, she would have made him that other in the first place! Nature Is the great creative as well as the most conserving, force. The true phllonophy lies In ac cepting oneself as one is: Byron with his lameness. Lamb with his stutter, Faucett with his sudden gun-made blindness. Let each make the most of himself under the conditions. Let cotton threads remain as cotton threads. Most useful are they. Let them not attempt any unsuccessful imitation of silk strands. If condi tions are Inevitable, to seek to over come them Is waste. If conditions are changeable, and ought to be changed or removed, the removing may be a part of life's duty. "I have done the best I could with the stuf ff which nature gave me," said Jean Paul Kichter. That Is all that Is required of the poorest and the weakest, and that Is required of the richly endowed.' With all the triumph consists chiefly In being oneself. PLAN YOUR BREAKFASTS Exercise Great Care. Many a good housekeeper brings ennui to her home and gives harassed nerves to her husband because she gives too little thought to the problem of planning the morning meal. The failure may come from several causes, one housekeeper neglects the problem by serving the same breakfast day after day with few variations. The other goes to the extreme rf mak lng Jjreakfast a. full meal, which means an overloaded stomach and indigestion. The breakfast menu must have Left to right Model of white taffetas with plaited front panel and hip draperies; robe of mousseline de sole in rich cream tone; the foundation skirt is of embroidered batiste, the overdrapery is of net and the corsage, ceinture, peplnm and Test points are all of taffetas; voile ruffles, beautified with hand embroidery, feature this gown. Novelties in By Dame A Shrub Party. Al'OTJNG matron moving into her country house asked 13, of her especial friends to come to aee the new house and bring, a hardy shrub -anything they chose to select. It was a most interesting occasion. Alter glasses of iced red raspberry "shrub" that good, old-fashioned sum mer drink the guests were given gar den gloves of white cotton, a shovel was at hand, and each contribution was planted with due ceremonies. There was a purple wistaria, yellow and red honeysuckles, purple and white clematis, several barberry bushes, hardy hydrangeas and lily bulbs of various kinds. This scheme was partly suggested by the interesting garden achieved by a dear little South Side woman (her name appears almost weekly in - this paper, Ethel Colson doesn't print It though) she has flowers and "grow ing things" from many of the most prominent people in this and other countries. There are water lilies grow ing happily in tiny barrel poolB, and a constant procession of gayly dressed blossoms as they appear in their sea son. , This idea seems to me te be adapt able for bridal showers; even If the bride-elect is not fortunate to own a country house, she may have a yard, or even content herself with window enough food calories te keep the family well nourished, especially in winter, when the temperature Is low. Variety and nourishment afe the two cardinal principles In making your breakfast menus count. A well balanced break fast includes fruit or cereal combined or alone. This should be supplemented by a principal dish, such as eggs and potatoes' or chops and potatoes, a. bread and a liquid. Fruits are to be selected as they appear in the market It is a debatable ground whether fruits are better eaten raw or cooked. It is largely a ques tion which way they are digested more readily by the individual. Apples raw or cooked are wholesome, grapefruit Entertaining Curtsey. boxes In an apartment. She can grow all the sweet-smelling herbs necessary for her "seasoning," and they , are In finitely better than the store variety. Pea and bean vines are hardy, and think of the Joy of eating one's own home-grown vegetables! There are possibilities for most of us along these lines, if we Just use what space we have at hand. In response to the inquiries for new contests this one comes; is good and children love It: 1. .1 planted a product of the dairy and a dish with a handle: What came up? Buttercup. 2. I planted a happy facial expression and a tool used for chopping wood. What came up? Sml lax. 3. I planted a lot of sheep. What came up? Phlox. 4. I planted a dude and a very ferocious animal. What came up? Dandelion. 5. I planted a man's name and a feather. What came up? Jonquil. 6. I planted a song bird and something worn by a horse man on the heel of his boot What came up? Larkspur. 7. I planted a sly little animal and something worn in boxing. What came up? Fox glovea 8, I planted something that wants to be remembered'. What came up? Forget-me-not 9. I planted a part of a railroad train and all the people in America. What came up? Carnation. 10. I planted an animal of the bovine genus and cutting from a vine. What came up? Cowslip. and oranges are healthful, refreshing. When It comes to selecting break fast foods you have a large assort rn?nt,"uch as rice, oatmeal, cracked wheat, corn meal and many others. The main dish can be bacon, chops or eggs cooked in different ways. Rice and wheat are especially good cereals because they are cheap and nourishing. Rice is used in the whole kernel. It comes in two varieties brown and white. Brown Is a better nutriment. Either kind should be washed well to take out all particles It should be washed in cold water, so the kernels do not stick; the coll water takes out the, starchy particles. Let the rice dry after washing and before cooking. & MATRIMONY AGAIN The Woman's Viewpoint. We do not give enough thought to the choosing of our life .partners. Be fore taking, say a house; a man looks at it from every standpoint, and is therefore able- to Judge whether It will be likely to suit him. Tet he will take a wife before he has decided on, or even thought about, the kind of one he prefers. . He does not trouble him self about the subject before mar rlaga Unfortunately, however, there is the risk that he will do so after marriage. But a stitch In time saves nine. The jjjnount of domestic unhappiness in the world would be 'lessened in no small degree if every man and women knew his or her requirements before mar riage knew (and of course got) the particular temperament, character, hab its, etc., that he or she wanted in a partner. . We hear too much about the attrac tion of opposites. Marriage needs sympathy, not contradiction. The kind of woman a man ought to marry de pends on the kind of man. Therefore a man contemplating mat rimony should first of all 'classify himself. He should make up his mind such, things as whether he wants to be a club frequenter or the husband of a club frequenter; whether tranquallty or altercation has the greater attrac tion for him; whether he wants an or nament for his drawing soom or a saucepan for his kitchen. It is often advisable to look through a catalogue before making a purchase. Tn fact, the chances are that his sor rows would be. great, which perforce he would drown In drink. It is haz ardous to plant a hothouse flower In a cabbage garden. A 'business woman is a safe choice for a practical man. She knows the value of punctual meals and of money; tradespeople Will try to "do" her in vain. Moreover, she knows something In lite. And she is used to forming her own opinions; she is not the wlfs for a conceltef man. Nor is she suit able for a stingy jtnan, because .being accustomed to her own pocketbook, she will certainly demand her full share of the family exchequer. Widows are supposed to be peculiar ly desirable as wives. Many men, In Bpite of old Sam Welter's warning, still go la for tlrem. And not without rea son. A man who chooses one for a wife always backs his fancy with his Judgment. He knows that a young girl Is a riddle of which the solution is a wldoiw. Who can tell what a girl of 18 will turn into? Will she lnjute a weighing machine at 40? But th widow's transformation days are over. Besides, she is not too exacting. She understands men. In a word, she has the benefit of, so to speak, professional experience. A woman cannot choose a life part ner as easily as a man; she has to wait to be asked, except.erhaps, this year. And, too often, she accepts the first man who asks her, lest It may be the last time of asking. To signal time to vessels In the harbor, Lisbon has erected two lights, which are automatically lllu.nfnated five minutes before each hour ejid ex tinguished at the hour. By Lillian (Oovrrlgbt, 1818. by T I'VE 3 there a soul that loves not L Cowers? I have sever met one. Thar mav ha men and women who have been so busy In material ways that they have never stopped to regard flowers, much less examine their beauties. That seems strange and unreal, but it Is nevertheless true. Their lives show a lack ot apprecia tion ot the spiritual. Flowers and lovely women are syn onymous. Nothing Is more like a beau tiful flower than a sweet gin. Sturdy little boys make one think of "Johnny-jump-ups," dandelions and cornflow ers, or carnations and the stronger fl-wer family. The sweet baby girl suggests an the finer and more delicate blooms from thfc "tittle peeping arbutus to the splrltuatNorchld. There Is a wonderful education In associating , with flowers and garden ing. I knew of one crabbed old man who sat Indoors and nursed his aches and pains behind lowered shades and in heated rooms until I suggested to him to take up gardening as a cure for all ot his ills. He laughed at first and sneered a little. But with tho reason of a hypo chondriac, that he couldn't be worse no matter what he did. "knd having the ground and nothing to do but worry, he got out into the open, turned over the ground, planted the seeds and watched them sprout and grow. Naturally he became flower mad, and in but a few months could talk ot nothing but his garden. His flesh ly ills were forgotten and his little flower children filled his life with exquisite Joy. He loved each and ev ery one of them. He watched them from babyhood to maturity. He found occupation and happiness not only in his garden but in his whole outlook upon -fe. e Garden work is a living lesson in the science of life. Association with flowers and their sweetness, their de velopment and their glorious beauty should be studied by every woman. There Is no choice to offer; nothing is more interesting than a rose garden YOUR CHILD'S EYESIGHT Close Attention Demanded. A subject that every mother should know something about is the proper care of her children's sight. Recent Investigations show that widespread ignorance preitls on this matter, so Important to the child's JTutuie success In life. "The Improper exercise of .the eyes In growing years of a child, either by reason of bad light or excessive ligtft the use of Improper materials, pro longed close work, or of any work at all during conditions of bad health, will account for the onset of eye strain, squint, short sight, and even mental fatigue of a serious order," says an English doctor who has made a special study of this subject. The essential fact to remember 1s that a child's eyes are Immature; they must therefore be treated with the same care as every part of the imma ture body. If an infant's eyes are ex posed' to very bright light the growth of the eye will be arrested; If a school child's eyes are overworked, any slight defects that would otherwise pass away will be increased and perhaps made permanent Sewing In early life hss Its dangers. No child should make the acquaintance of the ordinary sewing needle befoi'4 the age of 7 years, for Its ue Is cer tain to be fraught with evil to the eyes and perhaps to the general health of the child. The reason for this denunciation of needlework for young children Is to be found In th4s one fact; no child can be persuaded to do what we know as Miss Adele writes: "My Hair Is combing out, my scalp itches and dandruff is very annoying, and I want something to cure these conditions. Answer? For hair and scalp trou bles I have never found anything to eqdal the beneficial results of a thor ough treatment of plain yellow mlnyol. It is cooling, cleansing and Invigorat ing, and thousands now use It reg' ularly as a hair and scalp tonic. Henry J. C. writes: "Something seems to be wrong with, my system and I don't know what it Is. I baVe huge puffs under my eyes, my eyes are bloodshot in morning and my feet and ankles are swollen. Sometimes I have chills and feel weak and tired most of the time." Answer: Tosr eliminating organs, such as liver and kidneys, are in need ef treatment. Begin taking balm wort tablets at once. Get them in sealed tubes with full directions of any well stocked druggist. C. M. C. asks: "Please relieve me of a coated tongue, foul breath, head ache, constipatio: and general ill health." Answer: If habitually constipated, you should take three-grain aulpherb tablets (not sulphur) and arouse the organs which eliminate waste mate rial from your body. These tablets purify the ; blood and improve the health by acting on tha liver, kidneys and bowels. ,- Obtain in . sealed tubes with, fall directions. ;'T '.jy,:: "Sarah" says: "Can anything be done for one who is bothered with rheu matism.

There is a battle for life, lovs and power In the flower world Just . there Is In this mortal world. . The weeds are the devils that creep upon beautiful flowers unawares and steal strength and sustenance unless cast aside by our protecting hands. ' It is that helplessness that makes the association with flowers so tike the association with children. They are helpless in the same manner, and as we grow to love and protect them they repay us with their fragrance and beauty. Nothing can teach you more about Hie and beauty than a little wee gar den.
