The Designer.

Most appropriate and artistic is the cover of The Designer for April, whereon is pictured a feminine figure with Easter doves and lilli s. The contents are also typical of the season, and among them may be mentioned a short story—“An Easter Miracle,” “Pretty Trifles for Easter Gifts” and “Easter Egg Football,” the latter be ing a jolly game for young finks. Two other stories are given in this issue—- “ Bloomfield’s First New Woman” and “How the Prairie Children Went t<> Church,” also a parlor comedietta, “A Bachelor Girls’ Apartment ” “The Latest in Embroidery” and “Novel ties in Crocheting,” supply tasteful hints to the fancy worker, while “Some Original Cottage Furnishings” will undoubtedly be of service to those contemplating a sojourn at the rnoun tains or seaside. “Toilet-Tab'e Chat,” “In Motherland,” “The Kitchen Kingdom” and “All Around the House” are departments of value, as too are “Points on Dressmaking” and “Easter Millinery,” the latter describing fully the making of a stylish spring hat. “The Floral Department” is a new and welcome addition to the pages of The Designer. In the fashion province Easter costumes for ladies and juveniles are attractively set forth, over one hundred illustrations of up to date modes being presented. “Etiquette Hints,” “Selec tions fortheßecitationisf’and “Fashions and Fabrics” continue to prove their worth to their many readers.
