STYLES OF 1911.

Millinery We’ll Wear In the Spring, Tra-la.

THE ADVANCED GUARD IN HATS.

Hats are going to turn up and not down in tbe spring. In other words;, the extinguisher chapeau has extinguished itself, and no more will the masculine cry be heard, “It’s hard enough on a fellow to remember the faces of all the girls he knows whets he meets them on the street, but when he’s only a chin to recognize them by it’s awful!” The hat model pictured clearly displays the face of the wearer and is smart in the extreme for the tailored girl. The trimming consists of a twist of velvet about the crown, and the velvet faced brim is pierced with an aigret.

Baby Prince Olaf Aids Society.

Queen Maud of Norway, following the example of Queen Mary of England, has issued a book of photographs of herself and her baby, Prince Olaf, as a means of raising money for charity. She sells the book for $1,25. The queen had received many requests for pictures of herself and her baby boy, and it finally occurred to her that she could satisfy the demand and make something for charity by having the pictures published. One picture shows the prince and his pet dog; another depicts the king of Norway in his shirt sleeves walking through the garden with the prince.

Don’t Be Fussy.

Don’t! Even if you can’t try to overcome the failing for the sake of your own health and peace of mind try to do so for the sake of the man you will certainly render wretched one of these days, It is said that no woman has a proper sense of proportion. The fussy woman certainly hasn’t. On her horizon trifles loom like battleships. She never recognizes what really matters and what is unimportant. As a worker the fussy woman is always a failure. She neither gets through as much work nor allows others to do so. Like a high stepping horse, she is all action, yet makes but little progress. Nevertheless fussiness will age her before her time.

Mrs. Taft’s Dream Came True.

On June “19 next the president and Mrs. Taft will celebrate their silver wedding anniversary. The last event of the kind in the White House was in the administration of Rutherford B. Hayes. Mrs. Taft was there as a young girl, and it is on record she told President Hayes, who was her father’s law partner and her godfather, that she would never be married to a man who would not become president. Hayes advised her to become an Ohio man’s wife if she wished to realize that dream.

For Winter Sports.

The smartest girls are affecting very sensible and plain sporting clothes for wear at week end parties. Nothing is

SWEATER AND CAP OF ANGOEA WOOL.

better of ,its kind for skating and motoring than this warm and good looking sweater of Angora wool, and the cap that accompanies it has ties of the wool to wrap about the neck.

HUMOROUS QUIPS

In the Land of Pyramids. In The country Of Old Madam Sphinx There exist, stranger things Than one thinks. But the men Of that land, they have plenty of Sand, and so has each maiden who prinks. This - Land is the Home of tbe palm And v some kinds of Spices and balm- Each child Of the fates can tell by the dates The time of each battle and calm. And,.. „ Speaking of Palms,you must know There are more than one Species that grow. Oft a man Of that land asks a maid for her Hand. So in palmistry they are not slow. But Many an old Crocodile has tossed His huge head with a smile, For the young desert flirts -Sometimes get their deserts in the Land of the sphinx and the Nile.

Free For the Nonce. They tell in Nebraska of a clergyman who In the pulpit was a fearless expounder of rights and wrongs, but who in tbe domestic circle maintained for prudential reasons considerable reserve of speech and action. On one occasion when this divine visited a neighboring town the editor of the only paper published therein, which never failed to notice the presence of a stranger in town, offered the following, so worded as to prove unwittingly keen: “Dr. Carroll is once more among us for a brief stay. He says and does exactly as he thinks right without regard to the opinions or beliefs of others. “His wife is pot with him.”—Lippincott’s. The Critic’s View. “Excuse me, Watkins,” said Penley, “but would you mind giving me your opinion of a little bit of verse I have written ?” “Certainly not,” said Watkins. “Fire ahefid.” “Thanks, old man,” said Penley. “Here is the opening stanza: "I am the wind that blows away; I am the gale that ruffs the sea; I am the zephyrs soft that play In and about the woodland tree.” “Wyh,” said Watkins, lighting his pipe as he meditated, “I should say that that was a very breezy poem.”— Harper’s Weekly. 5 . ' Naturally Acquired. “I suppose you consider my hauteur mere affectation,” began Miss Parvenue. “Not at all,” Miss Bright hastened to say. “Your scornful expression is quite natural.” “Ah!” “Yes, I suppose you lived for a great many years in the neighborhood of your father’s glue factory.”—Catholic Standard and Times. The Supreme Test. “Do that couple near you really love each other?” “Do they? I have absolute proof of it.” “What is it?” “He smokes the cigars she buys him.” “Well?” “And she wears the hats he selects.” —Baltimore American. As Advertised. Customer—l see you advertise a Are sale. What have you that is marked down? The Public Benefactor—Veil, ve haflf some smoking jackets unt meerschaum pipes slightly damaged by smoke unt some raincoats unt umbrellas slightly damaged by vater!—Puck. Minority Rule. “The Idea of letting a minority rule,” said the statesman, “is impractical.” “I guess,” replied the plaid citizen thoughtfully, “that yoti never lived in a household where all the grownups were constantly occupied in trying to keep one baby pleased.”—Washington Star. A Nail Shortage. “How much is this manicure set?” “Three dollars.” “Well, I think you ought to give me a discount on it. It’s to be a present for a man who has but two fingers on his left hand.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. His Salad Days. Nebuchadnezzar was eating grass. “Anyway, I can ask friends to dinner unexpectedly without being afraid the grub won’t go around,” he boasted. Thus we see every cloud, etc.—New York Sun. Not Much to Him. “What kind of a fellow is he anyhow?” “One of these people who can go out of a room without leaving a vacancy of any kind.”—Chicago Record-Herald. The Whole or None. “Sir,” said the young man, “I come to ask you for your daughter’s hand.” “Young man,” replied the father, “I am not disposing of her in sections.”— Philadelphia Press. That’s All. “I suppose our son will soon be old enough to go to work.” “Yes—bid enough.”—Spokane Spokes-man-Review.' Doubted. “The world is my oyster.” "Stbp your fish stories.”— New York Press.

SHE CURED HIS SPRAINS

The Second One Was Higher Up Than the First

“Goodby, good by!” called Leonard as the three ears rolled down the drive, tossing back a rainbow color of flying veils and waving bands. When they had disappeared he limped' up the steps to the veranda and threw himself in a wide hammock with a groan of relief. “Confound these shoes!” he muttered wrathfully, surveying the trim tan oxfords at the end of the hammock with an evil glance. “Eights he said they were, and when I tried them on they felt just right. By Jove, I believe he tricked me with a pair of sevens! The next time I buy shoes in baste I suppose I’ll repent, as J’m doing now. Why in thunder I didn’t bring another pair along—wow!” Mr. Leonard had untied the perky brown ribbon bow and painfully withdrawn a gorgeously clad foot from the tight shoe. A- eburring whiz on’ the bluestonc drive made him aware of the fact that some one had arrived. „ He dived down after the shoes, thrust them behind his back, brought down his toes and tucked them undera hastily-snatched cushion. His back was to the drive, but he heard a low murmur of voices and a man’s quick step, then a lighter step and the rustle of skirts. “Goodby, Laura. Thanks, Phil. You haven’t a moment to lose if you’re going to catch that train. Y'es, it looks deserted, but I’ll find some one about. Goodby.” The motor whizzed away, and then the clicking of high heeled shoes approached the door and the bell rang insistently. Leonard craned his neck to peep, and the hammock creaked betrayal of his presence. “Oh!” said the girl’s voice sweetly. “I wondered if the place was quite deserted. Mrs. Blake expected me, I believe.” Leonard thrust an embarrassed face above the hammock’s edge. “Pardon

Smart Set.

my not getting up—er—but the fact is —er—l’m suffering from a sprain. I’m Mrs. Blake’s brother, and I’m sorry to say that the whole push have gone off for the day—a picnic at the beach, I believe—and every servant has either gone along or taken her afternoon off. If you will sit down”— He indicated a comfortable rocker at some distance from his hammock, but the girl ignored it and sank down into a deep wicker seat at the foot of his couch. “And you had to remain behind because of the sprain ?” she asked sympathetically. “What a pity!” “They left a lunch for me in the dining room, you know,” explained Leonard, trying not to stare at the lovely face framed in the soft dark hat. He loved bronze tinted hair and deep blue eyes shaded with golden brown lashes and creamy skin tinged with pink and a perfect nose and a— The lips parted in a little smile, showing just the sort of pearly teeth that Leonard admired. “I’m Marion West. Mrs. Blake asked, me for the week. I was coming yesterday, -but was prevented, so I wired her this morning I would arrive tonight on the 6:30.” “I’m Jack Leonard,” said that young man, mentally anathematizing the ill fate that made him appear at such' disadvantage when this delightful visitor was to be entertained. “My sister has gone for the day—er—l don’t suppose she expected you till 6:30. I might take you out in my car—perhaps we could catch them up. I know the road.” He made a tentative movement, remembered his predicament and sank back. His ribs encountered the sharp soles of the shoes, and he uttered a slight groan. “Oh, dear, you have hurt yourself.” cried Miss West compassionately. “Don’t stir, please. I shall get along famously until they return. Perhaps I’ll knock around the links—my clubs are here. . 1 “I’ll caddy for you,” volunteered Leonard eagerly, and then again he recollected. “Darn the luck.” he muttered under his breath. “Never mind; it is rather warm for golf. I shall go in- the farthest corner and, read awhile, Mr. Leonard,” Bhe said, stripping off her white gloves uid removing the hat from her pret-

ty hair and fluffing it up with ringless fingers. “Y’ou are to take a good long nap. I believe you were asleep when we drove up.” “Don’t go,” pleaded Leonard. “I couldn’t sleep a wink, you know.” Then slyly and with a strong effort to turn pale be added,-“It pains like the dickens, you know, and when I’m talking to you I don’t mind it a particle.” “Really?” she asked incredulously. “When did you sprain it and how?” “Yesterday— er—l should say immediately after my people went out this morning. Slipped, yon know, and twisted it. Funny things, sprains, eh?” “Very,” agreed Miss West demurely. Bringing forth a dainty workbag, she produced a piece of embroidery and busied herself with intricate stitches' “Haven’t you done anything to reduce the inflammation—applied a cold compress or anything like that?” “Nary thing,” returned Mr. Leonard cheerfully. “Pained me so I couldn't think what to do, so I went to sleep, lulled by pain, you know. Ever had the toothache?” “Never.” ‘ “Well, this is like a toothache in the ankle,” went on Mr. Leonard, elaborating his story with much care and quite reckless of consequences, “if you can imagine such a thing.” “I cannot. Fancy a toothache in one's ankle!” Miss West laughed more heartily than the occasion seemed to warrant, and Leonard, chilled by dark suspicion, wriggled his rascally toes still farther under the protecting cushion until that rutfly protection came very near dropping over the edge of the hammock. “You seem awfully uncomfortable,” volunteered Miss West. “Cannot Ido something for you—fetch a drink of water, turn your pillow—anything?" “Thank you, nc. I’m doing famously," said Leonard eagerly. “My back’s a bit strained too. Makes me restless. I’m afraid I’m bad company.” “Indeed no! You are most entertaining,” assured tbe girl sweetly. “And here is relief in sight. Surely this motherly looking creature can be no other than your absent cook!” “Maggie—ah, yes,” murmured Leonard helplessly, craning his neck to observe the approach of the squat form of the O’Brady who once had been his nurse and was now his sister’s cook. “She will go immediately to the kitchen," he continued as if by the power of suggestion he could sidetrack the oncoming disaster. But she didn’t go immediately to the kitchen. She paused in the path beyond the veranda and caught Leonard’s eye with her own keen blue orb. “Aha, Master Jack! And is this the way ye go to the city fer attending to Important bizness? Shame on ye for a home in the hammick when ye might be courtin’ most anny wan of them swate girls at the picnic!” “Mr. Leonard has met with an accident,” explained Miss West, suddenly appearing before Maggie O’Brady’s astonished eyes. “He sprained his ankle, and it has not yet been attended. You might bring some ice water and bandages. With murmured exclamations of distress at her favorite’s disaster and a bewildered wonderment at the vision of beauty on the veranda, Mrs. O’Brady pounded around the path to the kitchen. “Oh, by Jove!” groaned Mr. Leonard helplessly. “I don’t need Maggie, you know. My foot feels much better; I shall be able to walk before luncheon. Just head her off, won’t you, please?” Miss West’s pretty brows went up in puzzled Inquiry. “I should* think you would want it attended to, Mr. Leonard. You are suffering, and just a compress of ice water on your ankle will reduce the inflammation. Surely you will let her bandage it for you.” “Never!” cried Mr. Leonard wretchedly. Miss „ West laughed merrily—peal after peal of laughter that rippled from her pretty throat so contagiously that Jack Leonard joined in, although he did not understand in the least what it was all about.

The girl bent over her workbag a moment and then turned to him with dancing eyes. “I have here a cure for your indisposition, Mr. Leonard,” she said demurely. “While you apply it I shall run and tell Mrs. Maggie you are cured.” She held out between her dainty fingers a long embroidery needle threaded with purple silk, the very color of the socks between the pillow. “Upon —my word!" gasped Jack, blushing furiousjy.. “You knew all the time, Miss West?” He nodded toward his feet. “Yes, indeed, from the very first—they show so plainly from beneath the pillow. And the yellow shoes—you have bad one under each arm, and you have been so uncomfortable! I’ve been dying to tell you, but it was so funny, and you fairly fascinated me with the multiplicity of your—fabrications, shall I say?” “Lies,” said Jack, “plain, everyday lies.” And then he told the story of the tight shoes and the inquisitive toes and the brother-in-law, who Inconsiderately wore nines. “What would you do if you wanted to get around and take somebody motoring across country?” “While Maggie is conducting me to my room I advise you to put your offending shoes on Mr. Blake’s big boot trees and let them stretch. Then you can find a pair of tennis shoes somewhere, and, presto, we shall go motoring—if yon meant mg,” _ “There Is nobody else,” said Jack •fervently. “And the sprain—it is better?” laughed Miss West. , i “Worse—ft is higher up, cardiac region, and very serious,” answered Mr. Leonard, placing his hand on his heart. In the course of time Miss West found a cure for that sprain also
