The first one returned home, and his .wife greeted him thus: , "Hullo, you beauty I That's right, knock all the ornaments off the mantel piece!" Me knocked them all off. The second returned, and nn crn'ma into his house fell against the piano, whereupon his wife said : "Go on, get the chopper and smash it up!" He did so.

The trimmings are laces put on in transparencies and helped out with tiny tucking. The almple Mouse bodice may fasten either at the front or back, but the preferred sleeve Is always, elbow length. The trim ming of many skirts still suggest the graduated flounce, and some tviiIhIs show belts of laee, ribbon or embroid ery. The black "pnper-chlp" hut Is warm ly recommended for heads that find most millinery too heavy. Its sole trimmings are a bias of black velvet under the brim, and a soft fall of white ostrich feathers at the right side. A pleasing simplicity hits crept Into the modes for children. There are still fussy costumes for small girls of nil nges, but preferred styles arc taut and trim, leaning rather to tine needle work thnn elaborate effects. . In the way of combination black is n fre quent note, and girls from six up will bo permitted to wear nil black frocks. India pongee and taffeta will be the most stylish textures for these, white gamps and cape collars in delicately tinted mulls relieving their sombre ness. The school clothes the children's out litters are showing Include sailor suits for both boys and girls. Contrasting sailor collars and nautical-looking ties begny these, and all the shields of the little suits sport nnutlcal emblems in blue and red.

Pretty sailor dresses for little girls are in blue and white seersucker. The sollnr Is of white lluon strapped with a bias of solid blue. New York Sun. Girdle and Tuck Comb. One of the latest aud most charming frivolities of fashion has to do with lielts, for whether of leather, ribbon, latlu or elastic silk, tbey are all stud ied or treated with imitation jewels. It Is perfectly Impossible to bay just (low whether wide or uarrow girdles ire most in vogue, for womankind has generously decided to patronize all widths, aud alongside the careful Treature who wears a finger wide (trap of gilded snake skin, piped along both edges with white kid nnd fasten ed in front with a small filagree gold satch, can be seen an equally fash touab'.e figure whose slim middle is ipanned by a Swiss belt. I'erhaps the '.atter Is a very tiny bit more modish Ihnu the first mentioned because it is Ihe more showy of the two. Its three jatln straps studded with mixed jet ?teel nail heads, are held by two truly iforgeous - buckles worked iu mingled steel and jet and matrix opals. Cut coral nail heads, each one sur rounded by a thread of the minutest iteel beads aud applied to a Swiss belt of white silk fastened with steel aud voral ornaments, Is a belt highly es teemed by the well dressed, while the ivoman whose waist measure Is large, whose waist Hue is short and yet whose determination ' to follow the fashions Is fixed, wears, instead of a Swiss girdle, a belt of elastic black ni in cut in one piece. This is wide in the rear, tapering to n point in front snd treated with two handsome buckles and two equally nice slides, all set with gems. The wily stout ivoman usually orders gun metal buck les for her elastic belt aud the gun metal is either frosted with diamonds w studded with the semi-precious pink opals, aquamarines, etc. The ultra elegant long belt clasp is now done in enamels or Is nn oval slice of fine French porcelain on which lu proper decorative surroundings a woman's face shows nnd with real or mock jewels her throat, head aud ears are decked with sparkling colored stones sunk Into the porcelain or enamel. Washington Star, A Spring Tarty For Cli lil -en. All the Jlttle tallies In the tent and about the grounds near it where the small folk were to partake of supper had vases of daisies aud roses in the middle, aud bunches of roses tied with ribbon for the girls, and boutonnleres of daisies for tho boys. Scattered about the grounds were various at tractions. Under a huge paper Jap anese umbrella stood a table with the lemonade-bowl and puuch-glasses, with some one to preside over It who understood the art of tactful sugges tion. TUero were hammocks and seats find swings under tho trees In cool places. There were "side-shows," such as the doll's house on the ver an In, the phonograph, the pony nnd curt in readiness, and the tennis-court and pnttlng-clock. No one can tell at just what point children will b come bored and leave tho geuerul game. "Oil, let's begin!" Hobby had e claimed a dozen times before all the guests had arrived, and as we had quite a programme of amusements ahead of us, we started as soon as possible. There Is nothing like a good old favorite to break the ice at children's party, and no gamo is ever more pop ular than a donkey with variations. On one side of the veranda hung a sheet with a big daisy drawn on It In outline, i minus the yellow centre. Itilndfolded, the children pinned their centres where they guessed the right spot to be; of course a little girl was the successful one. Harper's Bazar. Her Canvarsatlou Hook, The young woman of averuge intelll genee who wishes to become a good conversationalist has it well In her power to do so at a comparatively small effort. She should remember flrnt that mere talk is not conversa tion. Bhe should cultivate an Interest in everything that la said to her and in everything that she says, which intef est will soon become habit, aud a big start is gained. She must remember. too, that good listening plnys. ft large part in the endowment of an agreeable conversationalist. A young woman, known to Ihe writ er, whose reputation for saying the right thing to the right people almost unerringly has spread abroad In Iter circle, has frankly admitted that not nit of her success Is spontaneous. "It often happens," she says, "that I face nn entertainment, a dinner, n tea, or a dance, after a fatiguing day, nnd In a condition by no means up to normal. I feel stupid nnd destitute of Ideas. It Is then thnt I refresh my mentality with a glauce Into n book that I keep for the purpose. It was a blank book, and it Is slowly filling up with matter of my own culling. Keally bright and fresh stories thnt I bear, good and adaptable thoughts that I come across either in a book or In the speech of friends, I copy out In the little volume for service when I most need them." Harper's Haznr. Youthful Martyrs to Clothes. A surgeon who has many children under his professional care calls at tention to the great discomfort or ac tual Injury caused by Ill-fitting gar ments worn by a growing child. Cloth lug for young children is usually made In large quantities at a time. All the garments of the lot are cut after a fixed pattern, the different parts being pieced together rapidly and stitched by machine, all at Ihe least posslblu cost. The clothes are usually graded according to age Instead of size, ami so a child who Is larger or smaller than the average for his age gets a misfit. Bflt even those whose size nnd age agree nre often no better off. The parent may notice that tho child stoops, and cannot be made to carry Itself erect. Some one, perhaps the family physician, may suggest that the frock is not loose enough, but the mother demonstrates to her own sat isfaction that If is by gathering up folds of the garment, in her hand, or by running her hand under It. Hut if the frock is removed nnd measured front nnd back it will be noticed that the measurements over the chest and the back are the same; in other words, the nrniholes are directly in tho centre. If the child's arms were also directly lu the centre the shirt or blouse would bo nn excellent tit, but the child's anatomy Is not so ordered, nature hav ing Intended that its chest should bulge out to make room for the lungs, while the buck should be fiat and more or less rigid. The effect of this wrongly made gar ment is that the shoulders nre con stantly drawn forward, and so the ex pansion of the chest and the play of tho lungs nre restricted, and then In sult Is lidded to injury, the poor mid get being scolded for not Bitting up straight. New York Commercial Ad vertiser. Coronation Coiffures. Englishwomen, nnd sympathetically oil women, are agitated on the subject of coiffures and hair adornments for the coronation. As the peeresses will have to remove their coronets to enter Westminster Abbey, ingenious gold smiths have planned to fit them with silken bauds by means of which they may be hung over my lady's arm when she enters the church. A hairdresser who calls himself imperial announces that he will arrange the hair so that when the peeresses put their crowns on without the aid of maid or mirror they will stay iu place. To accomplish tills n coiffeur of Re gent street, "to whose skill appeal personages of the most exalted station, also duchesses, countesses and mi'ch lonesses, whoso beauty of coiffure Is beyond description, is ut this time bringing all his art and skill to beat upon the important topic." lie an nounces "no heavy coils, no studiously stiff effects can possibly look well with tho weight of adornment the heads ol nobility will have to sustain." The hair will be much waved and curled in the back as well aa the front, "so that the back view of the peeresses' heads may uot be masculine when they have their coronets on." Pendants Again. Clack silk ornaments with pendants may be used with iiue effect on the silk and handsome cloth tailor mud en upon which the rich black crochet but tons are lu order. Tbey match these beautifully. From three to five dnng ling lozenge-shaped ornaments hang from the main rosette-like ornament.. rQMINGS J$ A pretty bat nil of white Is dotted generously with tiny pearls.

Corsets are more elaborately luce trimmed than formerly. Corset cov ers are made almost entirely of the filmiest lee. with just a little silk or other material.

WHY THE BIRDS MIGRATE tt Is to Escape the Cold, Bat They ve Forget Their Real Hemes. Speaking of birds coming back from the South, let me explain, so far as I ;an, where they have been, why they went, and why they take the trouble to come all the way back again. Many thousands of years ago birds didn't migrate nt all. All the Northern coun tries, even Greenland, and the mom Northern parts of Europe, were warm the year round, and the birds and ani mals that lived there found everything they needed close at hand. But by nnd by there mine grent changes in the conditions of the climate, aud grad ually there began a period known as tho "Ice rerlod," when a large part of the Northern countries were extreme ly cold and were buiied'under tho Ice. Of course, the birds which lived in these countries could not stand the severe change, so they had to either go to a warmer climate or die. The sensible ones all went South nnd made the best of It. Rut they never quite forgot their Northern home, and long after, when the great Ice-cap melted away and when the Northern countries became warm ngnln. the descendants of the birds, which were driven out by the cold, wout back to their own coun try. There they found plenty of food, so they stayed and made their nests aud laid their eggs. But alas! the rllmato was no longer as It used to be mild and warm the whole year round. It was divided Into seasons, nnd the warm summer was followed by a cold winter They had scarcely reared their young before they fouud that the air was beginning to get cold again, so as soon as the little olios were strong enough to stand the long Journey they all flew away to the South. But they never forget where their real homes nre. Every spring there comes over them a great longing to go back and make their nests where they themselves were born. They can not resist that longing. No matter where tbey may be down lu the (Julf States, in the West Indian Islands, or perhaps thousands of miles nway In the Southern part of South America back they come by tens of thousands, and by millions, to their old homes in the North. Ernest Harold Baynes, lu the Woman's Home Companion. Mosquitoes In Formoea. The Japanese soldiers In Formosa have discovered that the Ulte of the mosquitoes in that island inoculated them with malaria. The troops who occupied Formosa were severely af flicted with malaria every summer, aud It was thought, in view of the new theory of fevers lu Europe and Amer lea, that the mosquito was the active agent In disseminating the disease germs. An experiment was made last summer to arrive at some definite con clusion. The Kielun regiment was supplied with appliances that complete ly protected the men from mosquito bites. None' of these soldiers hud ma laria during the summer. The other troops oil the island, however, were afflicted with malarial diseases, as us ual. These had no protection from the bites of the insects. The Government will now furnish all of the Formosa troops with means of protection, and the result will bo watched with great Interest this summer. Some of Gorky's Reflections. Maxim Gorky, whom his detractors characterize as a "raw, rancid Russ," Is not always quotable, but his sen tences sometimes hit the nail on the bead in a way to tempt quotation. Fot lustauce: "Sometimes a lie shows up a man better than the truth." , "Every man who has fought with life, who bus been vanquished by It, and who Is suffering lu the pitiless captiv ity of its mire, is more of a philoso pher than even Schopenhauer himself, because an abstract thought m-vet molds Itself lu an accurate and pic turesque form as does tho though! which Is directly squeezed out of a man by suffering." "Like everything else, poetry loses Its holy beauty and directness when 11 Is turned into a profession." New York Sun. ISbakespeare la an Education. The matter of supreme Importance lu Shakespeare's works Is his concep tion of life aud the noble art in which it Is embodied. To live with the poet In familiar intercourse, by constant reading with an open mind and heart, responsive to the power and sensitive to tho beauty which penetrate aud Inform the plays, lg to receive from him the most searching influence and the deepest pleiisure. The end of art is to deepen nud intensify the sense of life, and this end is missed wheu one becomes absorbed In the study of language, form, conditions and circumstances. Some knowledge of these things Is essential, but the emphasis of Interest nnd of study ought to rest 011 the indivisible soul and body of n work or art. Hmlltou W. Mabie, In the Ladies' Homo Journal. An Ecclesiastical Pew-Opener.
