; for fond hearts are about to b

The time approaoiles when the seri

been a charmlns ami romantic adven

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

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

"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 girl will look. Don't ruffle her.

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.

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.

BEING ONESSELF
By Charles F. Thwing.
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

an overloaded stomach and indigestion.

The main dish can be bacon, chops or

Rice and wheat are especially good
cereals because they are cheap and
nourishing. Rice is used in the whole

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.

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.

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

No child should make the acquaintance

The reason for this denunciation of
needlework for young children Is to

certain rules that must be put in force.
The work should never be done' by

New Umbrellas.
New umbrellas are short and stub
by. The long Alpine stick of the past
has disappeared. , .
The handle Is short, the silk top
is abbreviated and even the tip i
very brief. In all cases the umbrella
must be carried by a leather strap
slipped over the wrist or. by a brace
let arrangement designed to serve the
same purpose. .
It is said by those who ought to
know that umbrellas were made short
when skirts became abbreviated . in
length. Old - time silk tassels, sup
posed to be necessary on every well-brought-up
umbrella, have evaporated
In favor of small acorns that dangle -from
silky cords. '
Black umbrellas have white Ivory
tips and handles. Tete de negre, vio-
let and blue are considered the best
and most fashionable colors. ' ,
Happiness is a large part of health,
and that. Is why a new hat makes yott
