Springtime

teprliiff. Ami, although volumes nml vol-
union have been written nbout tlio wonder
Unjid the glory nml the eternal thrill of
each new spring, the story never seems
to crow Old. For every ftirlncr the snp Is

Jn every country of tlip world each
spring nrrlves with tho same sort or glory

tho country tho hedges nre n mass of

trees nnd enroling their hearts out In nn
ecstasy of song. And everything Is grow

every day and sometimes for several

seems to fall from heaven us n sort of
benediction. One enn see the little green
things lift their filers up under it, nml
grow tnllcr nnd greener nnd stronger.

In London, spring Is ver wonderful,
too. There Is something tntoxlrutlng
nbout It. The days are long nnd the light
Is very clear. There Is n sort of thrill In
tho nlr. n kind of electricity that Is haul
to define. The women nre nil wearing
' their smartest clothes, for the early
spring sunshine Is so Inquisitive that one
cannot possibly lie other than welt garbed
under Its curious rays. Out In Kensing
ton Gardens the babies nre cooing bliss
fully' In their perambulators, while tho

Imposing policemen In dark blue uni

THE DAILY STORY
Her Little Plot
Hair the people that attended the
funeral of Deacon Gordon's wife wero
witching to see how lie bore up under
the trying circumstances. It Is always
thHt way at n village funeral.
' The deacon shed no tears. Ills chin
t. didn't iiutver. Jo didn't look as If It
was the end of nil things with him.
Thno were those who criticised him. but
It was old Mrs. Goodhue wlio abashed
them by saying:
"I "dunno nbout that. A sasser or tea
will slop over n heap ciulcker'n a wash-
, tub rull ot water."
.The deacon's daughter and her husband

"Well, pa, you are going to feel awful
lonesome..
"I shall, Manner."
, "Been married a long time."
"Over SO years."
"And she was a good wife."
"Tho best In tho world."
"But you'll hove to marry again," put
111 the soii-lu-law.
"No, sir never!"
"But you'll want n home."
"Ves, nnd I'll hire a housekeeper.
Cephas, you and Manner Just listen while
I say that 1 hope may never go to
heaven If I take another wife!"
in that same villngc of Dawson dwelt
the Widow Hastings. She was past 40,
well thought of. nnd the world had got
$, through saying she would marry ngaln
.f' If she cot the chance. Slio had known
p'the deacon' and his wife for many years.
fe She whs sorry for his loss.
Mrs, Hastings had lost n good husband,
pp husbands go, but after his death she
hadn't said that If she ever took another
(J she hoped never to go to heaven. A wls
woman does not tie lierselr up In that
uncalled-for manner. The most she will
say Is that It Is a sad loss to her.
The tlmt housekeeper hnd to go and an
other enmo. One day when the widow ran
over she was told that the deacon drank
a whole quart of nillk every night with
his supper. That evening, when the good
man poured out his milk and took a
swig of It, he shouted nt the cook:
."By thunder, aro you trying to poison
me?"
"What's tlie matter?"
"This milk has been soured with
alum!"
And In tripped the Widow Hastings
with, a pitcher In her hand to say:
"I think I heard thunder tills after--noon
and maybe It soured the milk.
-Here Is some fresh from the cow,"
She didn't wait f r thanks, nnd the
deacon gulped down a glass of the rich
fluid and growled:
"Dog my cats! Why did I say that to
.Cephas and Manner,"
That' housekeeper bad to go and an
other one came. For a time the deacon

And everybody Is gloriously lutppy For
It Is spring time, and how tan you possi

the circumstances?
Springtime In .Scotland has nn rncliiilil-
i incut nil Its own. It Is a very bracing.
! breezy, rainy, wind-swept nnd sometimes
' Icy enthnnlment! The spring evenings nre
very long, for darkness docs not descend
I till after S o'clock. Out In tho country
the coloring of the woods nnd the fields t
and the hills Is wonderful. Ilrowns nnd
yellows overrule the greens, mid the early
green Is very lender. For Kcotlnnd tins
a cllm.ite nil Its own, nnd you need to be ,
fully Scotch to appreciate It. It can rain
steadily for three weeks In Scotland In
the spiliigtime. Hut then the rain Is very
gentle, very line, nnd there are Intervals
of sunlight, with wonderful rainbows
Bhlnlng elusHcly.
Springtime In Paris! The words Imve nn

tables nro being laid for Monsieur mil
Madame.nnd there Is no manner of doubt
that Monsieur nnd Madame will turn '
up! For spring In Pnrls Is very guv ns
well ns Very beautiful.
One cannot help being optimistic In the
spring. Only the cry bitter henrt can
keep from rulolclng. For when everything
around Is smiling nnd lovely, when every
thing Is wnklng to exnulslte beauty nnd
lo new llfo nnd love, happiness springs i
afresh In the human heart.
The lighter side of life comes 111 with
the spilng. too. Wc feel childishly ready

Hcslnnlngs me alwnys delightful and
mysterious nnd nllurlug. Therein lies the
whole secret nnd chnrni of the spring.
For to every one conies tho Idea of u fresh
stnrt, the need for putting forth one's
strongest effort, the desire for doing one's
best ind particularly of seizing happiness
for one's own. It isn't difficult to bo
happy in the springtime, somehow. And
happiness Is the very essence of life.
l with French-fried potatoes, and never
had he thought the tubers could be made
into such nn excellent dish,
"By gosh, what a cook. I wonder If
Cephas and Manner have remembered
what 1 said?"
Ho had something on his mind, tho
deacon had, and every time the Widow
Hastings brought him over n pie, n
fresh lot of doughnuts or a custard ho
thought all the harder nnd shook his
bend and mused:
"Hanner may have forgotten it. but
Cephas In Just the sort of critter to grin
and wink over It. I hoped I'd never go
to heaven If I married again, but I won
der If I hadn't better take the chnnces?"
Mo wns seeing the widow every two
or three days, but never a hint of lovo
nnd matrimony. It wns just neighborly
talk, and not too much of that. Me must
remember that vow. One night he awoke
to find himself sitting up In bed. It was
an Idea that awoke him, and he fairly
shouted out:
"I wan a fool not to think of It before!
I'll go to the parson this very day!"
And go he did, and when he got there
lie asked:
"Parson, you didn't know my wife very
well, did you?"
"She wasn't given to talking much,"
waH the roply.
"Noap, but she wns a mighty good
wife."
"So doubt of that."
"It struck mo a hard blow. In talking
to my daughter and her husband that
evening t said I hoped never to go to
heaven If I married again."
"Y-e-fi."
"And now I want to marry."
"T shall be pleased to olllclate."
"Ves, but parson, I said I hoped I'd
never go to heaven If I did. Am I going
to be shet out If I do?" f
"Hardly, deacon hardly. You see, you
are an Impulsive man. A few mornings
ago I passed your barn an you were milk
ing your cow. She switched her tall
Into your face and you shouted out:
" 'Hold on, there, dum ye! If ye do
that again I'll knock every blasted horn
off'n your old spotted carcass!'
"I paused to see If she would do it
again. She did, but you didn't even knock
one horn off."
"I I Euetis I was' bludlng." sheepishly
replied the deacon,
"And one evening after prayer meeting
you stumbled over a sleepy hog- on the
sidewalk and yelled out:
" 'Darn yer old snout, but I'll boot the
daylights out of you!'
"That's what you said, deacon, and
though tho hog waited around you didn't
boot htm. It Is Just your Impulsive
way."
"And I'll get Into heaven?"
"I'd risk It If I were you. That la, )t
you can make some Improvements In
your Bpeech and avoid being churched.-'
"Dog my cats. If I don't do my level
beat, parson!"
"And who la the lady, may I ask?"
"The Wldder Hastings,"
"Nice woman."
"You bet."
"And when does the event come off?"
"Hold on to your chair for ten minutes
and I'll let you Know." ,
Three njlnutes later the deacon was at
the widow's door and eajing:
"Let's you and me get married!"
"Lord, deacon!"
"And If I don't get to heaven, darn the
difference!"
They wfp married two.weeks later,

A SMART EVENING FROCK
A SMART GIRL'S DIARY
A Dainty Dance Frock
Kllnor wrnli1 me a long letter todny, nnd
told me nil the gossip from Atlantic City.
Sho seems to be having a wonderful time,
and thero can be no doubt as to the
reason. George Dallas Is more than at
tentive, and I know sho is Just crazy
about him. I wonder how Ionglt will bo
before he proposes?
Tho flist night at the shoro was rather
quiet, minor says. Kvcrybody In tho
house party sat around, played auction,
roamed the boardwalk with a devoted
slave, or cultivated one In case of a
rainy day. Tho next evening tho Van AI
dens took all their guests to tho Yacht
Club to a little dance they had arranged.
Ullnor wore her new peach blow gown,
nnd while sho didn't say so, I'm sure sho
wns tho belle of the evening.
The pencil blow gown, ns wo call It, Is
made of satin Mulshed churmeuse, In
that lovely yellow-pink shade which early
peaches have. Light pastel shades, such
as Nile green, mauve, canary yellow and
baby blue, are tho rago this year. In eve
AROUND THE BARGAIN COUNTERS
Seasonable Hats
Hats are more or less conservntlvo-ln
design tills season, and tlio popularity ot
the severely tailored sailor model seems
to be growing, now that women aro be
ginning to buy their second hats. First
hats aro seldom Indicative of tho season's
fashion, mid tho newer fashions have
begun to make their appearance.
A very attractlvo sailor shape in white
satin Is made with n trlplebrlm of soft
chiffon, quilled to give a touch ot
piquancy to the fulr wearer's. face. A
black and white fancy Is used on the
front of the hat, and a black novelty
ribbon encircles the rather deep crown.
The price Is 58.
A neat sailor of lemonade straw so
called because the hat Is actually made
ot split lemonade straws, woven together
Is made in midnight blue, with a' sros
graln bandeau around the crown and a
cockade In front. This Is very tailored
looking, and wears particularly well,
The pries Is Jo.
Trlcorne shapes nre aliuoBt ns common
as sailors, and a striking model In black
and white was seen In a small shop the
other day. The straw of which the hat
was made Is called Flnafore straw, a

FOR THE YOUNG GIRL
ning gowns, especially. All tho exclusive
shop.1 nre showing tho most exquisite
models In these colorings, which nearly
rival white In popularity.
This little dress of Elinor's Is an Import
ed gown, tho first ono she has hnd from
Paris this year. It Is In the old-fashioned
style of our grandmothers, with a basque
waist, nnd full skirt, only a rather mod
ern version ot tho two.
The bodice fnlls low- upon the shoulders,
and tho basque lias two tiny points In
fior.t. A touch of fulness Is given to the
severely plain line of the blouse by n
i ope ot tho material, which extends down
each side to the front. The skirt Is
French In every detail, and has Just
enough simplicity nnd clcganco nbout It
to bo effective. A softly draped tunic ot
tho peach blow charmeuse Is caught up
here and there by a largo pink tea rose,
with a deeper centre of rose color, and a
tinier ono of gold tissue Inside. The pet
ticoat underneath Is made of chantilly
lace. In a rich cream color with loops of
palest blue satin ribbons on the founda
tion. The pretty thing about tho skirt
wns tho effect of careless grace In tho
drapery, nH If It had been lightly picked
up, nnd. the tiny petticoat showed be
heath It.
sort ot rough straw, with stripes on It,
nnd a largo white wing decorated one
side. There was no other trimming on
the hat, and tho price was ?"
Ono of the large stores was having a
sale, at which some of the most extraor
dinary bargains In hats were to be
seen. For $2.60 you could get a large
hat, with a wide brim of Georgette crepe.
In del blue and a straw crown. Tho
color of the crown was light tan, and
small daisies to match this were veiled
between the double brims of the trans
parent brim.
Another fetching hat at the same price
was a close fitting toquo In black smooth
straw, with Copenhagen bluo daisies
placed at the top ot the rather high
crown, and a band of tho new silk mil
linery ribbon encircling the crown, This
turned up In front nt a very quaint
angle, and would be an Ideal hat for
ordinary or auto wear.
A tailored hat of rather unique design
was made of Pinafore straw. In black and
white with an emerald green niolro fac
ing. This was, like most or the tailored
hats of this season, a variation of the
sailor shape, and had pheasant feathers
on tho top and underneath, as If they
had pierced the brim and. come through.
The prlca was ?18.
Auf Wiedersehen
The little gate wns reached nt last,
Half hid In lilacs down the lane,
She pushed It wide, and nn sho passed,
A wistful look she backward enst,
Ami said, "Auf wiedersehen."
With hnml on latch, a vision white,
Lingered reluctnht, nnd ngnln

Soft ns the dews tlmt fell Hint night.
She said, "Auf wiedersehen."
The lamp's clear gleam tlltfl up tho'slalr,

Ah, In that chamber, whose rich air,
To breatho In thought I senrccly dnre,
Thinks she, "Auf wiedersehen."
TIs 1.1 years, once morn 1 press
Tho turf Hint silences the lane,
t henr tho rustle of her dress,

Sweet piece of bashful innldcn nrt!
The Mngllsh words had sectned loo fnlll,
Hut these, they iliew us henrt to heart.

The "Jolly
Yes, sho was homely-looking, there was
no doubt ot that. I thought so then, nnd
I think so still. Hut at ono time I liked
her Immensely.
Iter name was Wilhclmlna, but her In
timates called her "Hill." And somehow
tho nnmo titled her. Kor sho wns large,
nnd generous, nnd good-natured, nnd she
didn't caro two pins nbout her dress or
her nnnearnnce. Not she! She'd turn up
nt n party (sho always hated parties, by
tho wny) In norno weather-beaten, man
nish suit nnd heavy boots. Hut then sho
wns so bright nnd breezy that ono didn't
think nbout her clothes or her looks,
somehow.
I remember tho first time I mot 11111.
Tho occnslon wns ono of thoso wretched
afternoon receptions, when every ono sits
nroiind aimlessly, drinks gnllons ot tea
or cotTcc, and gossips.
"A dctcstablo nlTnlr, Isn't It?" snld a
deep volco nt my elbow.
I turned sharply about, and behold a
largo and decidedly plnln-Iooklng damsel
consuming unlimited munins with an nlr
ot utter boredom.
"A crowd of Billy women makes mo
want to scream," sho continued con
fidentially. "You don't mind my talking
to you, do you? Any old port In a storm,
you know! Oh, I beg your pardon! Some
how 1 always do put my foot In It.
Curious, Isn't If? But I really should llko
to talk to you."
I Intimated that tho pleasure was mu
tual, and wo embarked In conversational
waters.
Hilly gave me a good many pointers
about herself. Sho was 25 years ot age,
it transpired, and In no wlso ashamed to
admit tho fact.
"Modern girls nro so silly about thcli
nges," sho declared. "But then I haven't
much time for tho modern girl, have
you?"
"So, I havo not," I answered solemnly.
Ami I meant It. For this meeting with
tho blight and breezy Bill followed closo
on tho heels ot somo unfortunato lovo
affairs. Where tlio modern maid was con
cerned, I was then a disillusioned man.
After that. BUI mid I met quite fre
quently. She had no scruples about Ring
ing nio tip on the telephone ,nnd making
numerous "dntes" with me. Thero wns
nothing early-Vlctorlan or bashful about.
Kill. Quite the reverse, In fn;t.
It appeared she was crazy about Spoit
(Sport with a capital S, please note). So
I used to play up, and pretend that I
was equally enthusiastic. Yes, I was de
ceitful and deceit met with Us own re
ward, too unfortunately for me.

For Hill Invited mo out to her father's
country homo for a week-end, "You're
so crazy about horses and Bport In gen
oral, Old Top," sho said, affectionately,
"that I can promlso you a corking time!"
It was n corking time. Never shall I
forget that awful week-end. Tho house
was filled with a crowd ot gay spirits,
hut Bill was tho wildest ot nil. "Bright,
Breezy nnd Bracing," her father called
her. But thoso droudful pranks ot hers
kept mo In a constant ferment.
"John, you told mo you were crazy
about horses," snld she, "so you and I
will havo n gallop ncrosa country tli
morning. 1'vo nn old racer that will Bult
you down to tho ground." '
It was a casa of "down to the ground," ;
of course. Tho wonder wan that li
didn't, break my neck. And how (Bill did i
laugh when ho flung me nt tho very first-,
fencol "I thought you wero quite a
horseman, John!" bIio gurgled delight"";
edly. !
t
Then sho Insisted that I play Ice-hockey.'
"You told me that you loved to skate,
John." sho murmured, as sho skimmed
tho Ico nt lightning BPecd. "Can't you go
n llttlo faster thnn that? Try to catch
me."
I did try, nnd of course It wasn't the
very slightest usol Now, whether' Bill
really Intended to luro mo to that hole ,
In tho Ico or not, I do not know. But I .;
do suspect her.
"Look out for the hole!" she cried sud- .
dcnly. "Lean to tho left."
But I wna no adept on skates. I could
not pun round in time, and tho Inevitable
happened. I floundered right In, The
water was only a foot deep. It's true but (
it wns quito cnougn to soak me from-'
head to foot. I felt a fool and what la
worse, I looked a fool!
