BRIGHT HATS OF VELVET;
WASH FABRICS FOR TOTS
AVKLVET hat this season Is
either very styllrih or It lsu't
11 hII depends. To win the mode's h?
provitl this season the velvet hot mu; t
possess chic In the truest Reuse of the
word. Ordinary, commonplace velvet
lieadwear plays no part tn this sea
son's Cushions but the velvet chnpeau
of commanding smartness, that Is a
different story.
Because the bright velvet hnt so
enlivens somber furs, snd becnus-i? the
velvet hat U fluttering to Its owner, It
remains the choice of women of fash
Ion who are weary of the little felt
shapes, and who take no Interest In
the glittering gold and silver hats such
as are so "popular" this season.
Each of the velvet hats here Inter
pret some one or more Inimitable style
touches ; that Is why they were so care
fully selected for Illustration. There
is that perky little velvet toque shown
second at the top. It requires the
skill of the "milliner born" to produce
anything so effective and of such art
ful simplicity as this model.
The other black velvet toque la -the
picture uses a cleverly posed feather
to convey a convincing style message.
Two of the velvet toques, as here
shown, bespeak the unusual In that
they are embroidered in white pearls.

That is, the very attractie model at
the right center is peml embroid
ered. The little toque shown centered
to the left prefers to wear Its pearls
In the form of wlng-shaid effects
posed to one side.
The compose velvet lutt Is one of
the style items featured thjs season.
For it the milliner employs two or
three colored velvets. An ombre effect
Is attained In this way, by the velvet
model below to the left In that It
employs three velvets, pale green,
reseda green and deep Jungle green.
For the shirred velvet model illus
trated to the right, at the top, the de
signer chooses nasturtium colored vel
. vetr alternating this with beige.
When winter begins Its linger
ing farewell and signs of spring
timidly appear, mother's fancy gaily
turns to thoughts of sewing for the
children. Yes, "gaily" Is a word well
taken, for Isn't It fun to make pretty
clothes for little tots Just In choos
ing the materials, there Is a lot of Joy.
The very breath of spring Is In the
fresh ginghams, the crisp organdies,
sheer Swisses, and voiles which flaunt
their gay colors from the couuters of
every washgoods section.
If one plans to decorate the kiddles'
frocks with lots of handwork, then of
course the plain solid colon are
wanted and they are to be found In
cotton broadcloths, pongees, fine sat
eens and linens materials most suit
able for early spring. Among the new
est items Is rayon alpaca and a de
lightful fabric it Is, never losing Its
silky sheen after going through the
laundry.
As to embroidery there Is no end
to the novel new Ideas. Among the
cleverest Is that of working bright
solid colored fabrics which launder
with gay woolen yarn, tn cunning
flower clusters. Another Interesting
trend In decorative handwork Is to
combine conventional hemstitching or
faggoting with natural flower design
ing. The picture shows the idea. Not
only does this look loveiy on plain
backgrounds, but done In crosswork
stitch on gingham checks for the hem
line and the upright stem-like lines,
the effect Is unique, especially If
daisies done In "lazy-daisy" stitch are
added.

ring or smocking. Sleeves for the most
part stress the little puff. The sleeve
less arinhole Is forecast for prints and
ginghams as well as sheer frocks for
the coming season.
Most unusual are the new prints
and altogether fascinating. Printed
pique and linen prints make up ef
fectively and nre very adaptable for
children's dresses. Prints In Ruma
nlun colors are especially favored for
little folks' clothes, and printed
sateeDS are among the season's fa
vorite fabrics. Indeed the list of suit
able materials for children's wear
might be continued Indefinitely.

HER OWN
HAD COME
TO HER
By JOHN ELKINS
iCopyrlcht by W. O. Chpiun )
"F
OR lo! my own shall come to
me."
The little thin woman In
the rocker, darning stock
ings, kept saying this over and over
lu spite of the protest on her daugh
ter's face.
"Weil, why don't It comer asked
the girl starting to set the table.
"Perhaps I haven't had enough
faith. Hut I keep on trying." And
the calm, sweet face again bent over
the work with Just the faintest shadow
across the patient lines.
"I know motheV, you are ft dear. I
wish, too, I hud more faith. Nut
some days I get Just desperate. The
little, menu eighteen dollars a week I
earn at that typewriter only keeps us
alive. And this street Is enough to
give one nervous prostration."
"My dear, I thought It was very
quiet and decent."
"Yes but I'm ashamed to ask any
one here. If we could only move luto
a better neighborhood."
"Iiut we couldn't afford It, dear."
"I know of some new Huts In Ben
ton pluce for no more thun we pay
here."
"How much room?" asked the
mother.
"Oh, two rooms, a kltchennette and
bath."
"But we couldn't do with that."
"We could muuage. And It's Just a
swell entrance."
"But here we have a little garden,
and"
"And chickens," finished Florence
disgustedly. "Chickens thut are an
awful bother."
"But they furnish us with nice fresh
eggs, and "
"And get Into the yard next door.
It's ull right as long as no one lives
there. But Just wait till there's a ten
ant, and there'll be a row. Lady
Grey Is determined to go over there."
"Yes," sighed Mrs. Bennett, "I don't
see what has got Into that hen."
"I know, mother, you like the little
patch of ground and the chlckeun
but I do want some of the good times
other girls have. I could go with
the people around here but you know
I don't care for them."
"No, dear, you wouldn't be your
father's daughter if you did."
A fashionable neighborhood meant
more to the dwellers In this small city
than a cosmopolitan can well under
stand. It was the sized place where
one calls on the new neighbor when
she moves luto the same block. Holly
street with the small, poor houses, In
which the Bennetts lived was well
nigh a reproach to mention In the good
society of Brentford. Poor little
Florence Bennett, pretty, bright and
well educated felt the ostracism
caused by the neighborhood. On her
father's death, three years previously,
leaving them penniless, they had
moved to Brentford where an . old
friend had given Florence employment
In his1 office. She was now twenty
years old, and saw little prospect be
yond the stenographer's small wages
In her future. .Office work was not to
her taste.
"Yes, I suppose," sighed the mother,
"you might get to know some people
some of our own kind If we lived
In a different street. But I always be
lieve, dear, that what is ours will
come to us."
"Yes, I know you love that old
poem."
" 'For lo ! my own shall come to
me !' " quoted 'the mother.
"But not by way of Holly street."
"Yes, even Holly street. Still if you
want to move into one of those
flats"
"You wouldn't be happy there,
dear." Florence kissed the little wom
an, choked down the sob In her throat,
and went on getting the dinner.
The next morning she turned back
as she was starting out. "Mother!"
she called. "They are painting the
vacant house!"
"Why, so they are! I guess we're
going to have neighbors !"
Workmen went in and out, and a
man was preparing the ground for a
small garden.
"Ah, ha!" cried Florence. "Now
Lady Grey will have to go into retire
ment, or lose her neck."
"I'll watch her," protested Mrs. Ben
nett. "Well, I don't want your Job,"
laughed the girl as she swung oft to
the office.
That evening a tale of woe awaited
her.
"Oh, Florence! Such a dreadful
woman has moved In ! Just a common
creature with a thick brogue!"
"I told you your own wouldn't come
to you by way of Holly street I"
Her mother being In the Joking
mood, went on: "She spoke to me
well, It was Insulting!"
"I foresee Lady Grey made the first
call."
"Yes, I thought I had stopped up
that hole In the runway, but she got
through,' and the way that woman
went for me. I don't know what we're"
going to do."
Two or three days after this, as
Florence was taking a survey of their
small grassy plot with its hardy an
nuals and shrubbery, a female voice
hailed her over the fence. She turned
and saw the owner gazing at her.
"Say, miss," she called, "I'd lolke
ye to look uXther that hen o' yours,
or as thru' us I'm talklu' I'll look
nfther her niesllf. Here's the row
of phlox till mixed up wld the 'stur
lions, an' the sticks laylu' galley west.
It's enough to be thryln' the patience
o' a holy saint, so It Is!"
Florence heard a door open on the
other side of the fence.
"Yes." she agreed. "I should think
It would be. Mother thought she had
fastened In Lady Grey. I'm very
sorry. Old she get over there again T"
"Whether t'wus Lady Grey or Lady
White, she's a dlvll of a hen, tin' If
she comes over again, I'll "
Here the torrent of words came sud
denly to a stop with a masculine voice
breaking In: "Margaret I Margaret 1
what Is the matter?
"Well, If yer wantln' a garden, Just
ye thry havln' It wld a hen I"
"But the lady has said she wat
sorry."
"Yes, Inded," said Florence, "and
I promise you you will not be an
noyed any more."
Here a rather good looking young
mail emerged from obscurity. More
explanations followed, and the mili
tant lady went luto the house. When
Florence related the Incident to her
mother, the latter rejoined :
"I suppose she's taking bourders,
and It'll he nol.?y and unpleasuiit with
men running lu and out."
"I shouldn't suppose anything but
day laborers would be likely to board
In Holly street. But maybe he's a
clerk on a small salary still he spoke
like a gentleman."
"A clerk can be a gentleman,' added
her mother.
"Yes," suld the girl doubtfully.- "He
can be."
It was really qulle astonishing, the
way lu which the acquaintance over
the fence progressed, till one day Mrs.
Bennett invited him In. Florence
found she wus glud he had been In
vited. When she found she was some
thing more than glad, she began to he
supremely disgusted with herself.
Where were her dreams of a finer,
fuller life? To marry a poor clerk
meant to go on living In Holly street.
No, no, it was unthinkable.
"This place must look very dingy to
you after your shining new paint in
there," she said to him.
"No," he said, "it looks very cozy,
very homey." He took in t tie ample
library table, the shaded lamp, the
books, and the good pictures on the
wails. "It looks very much as I
thought It would."
"We've asked time and again to have
this room papered and painted, but
that miserable old skinflint of an own
er won't do It. It seems he bud to,
next door."
"Did you ever see the owner?"' he
asked.
"No, I don't even know his name.
The agent suld he wouldn't."
"I think he will," suld the young
man.
"Mr. Itoyal I But how do you
know?"
"Well, you see, I work for him In
the silk factory."
"Does he own that, too? Well, he's
worse than a skinflint!"
"No, he's a decent fellow, If he Is
millionaire. It's the agent who's to
blame."
The speedy way In which the cot
tage was overhauled, and everything
done Just as Florence and her mother
wished convinced them that young Mr.
Itoyal must have some "pull."
The love route Is sometimes sub
ject to fluctuations, but this one
seemed to progress steadily. One day
he put the Important question:
"I'm getting only twenty-five a week
now, but I'm promised a raise. Would
you be willHig to live on that?" he
asked.
"I've got to thluk of mother," she
answered. "If you'd let me go on with
my typewriting "
"No, no," he demurred. "I want to
be mothered a little, and I want to
take care of you both. I don't want
you to work tn an office."
"1 must say for a poor man, you
have some foolish pride," she pouted.
Then the next minute: "I don't care
If It's only twenty, we'll manage."
When Mr. Royal again found his
voice he announced thut lie would
bring his father to call.
The old gentleman scrutinized his
future duughter-ln-luw so seurchlngly
she began to feel uncomfortuble.
"Miss Bennett," he said, "I feel It
Is my duty to Inform you that this
young man has been telling you a per
fect tissue of falsehoods."
"Father!" Interposed the young man
glancing at the surprised face of the
girl going white with the shock of the
revelutlon.
"It's true he is getting twenty-five a
week, but as to a raise"
"If that's all," she cried, "I don't
care. We can live on It. If there's
nothing agulnst Mr. Royal's charac
ter" " 'Mr. Royal,' " sniffed the old mnn.
"You rascal ! you didn't even give your
right name."
. "What?" she gasped.
"Now, never mind, Miss Bennett!
It was Just a part of his quixotic
game. He wanted to see if you really
cared for him. You're the right sort.
I shall be very proud to havo you for
a daughter. I tried out Jack to see
what he was made of. Now, I'm go
ing to make him superintendent,"
"Superintendent!" ske echoed in
credulously. "Yes, you see I'm the owner, and
the old skinflint who owns these
house. All I have will be the boy's.
Just now I want him to take a vaca
tion for a honeymoon and I want it
to begin right awny. Come here and
kiss your father !"
Florence somewhat dazedly com
plied. Then she glanced at her moth
er who had taken the old gentleman's
outstretched bund, and she knew her
own had come to her.
