Spanish Women. Spanish women are not the person ification of southern passion, as we have been taught by "Carmen" and romance to believe; Jhey are physical ly and mentally superior to Spanish men, capable of passion, but far more difficult to woo than northern women.

Danville American. j Children's Hats, This year little girls school and everyday hats are in bright-colored straws; those for more formal occa ' eions in manilla, crln or chip; or lawn embroidery hats in every degree of elaborate and simple trimmlng'are usually trimmed with a bunch of gar den flowers, or with a full ribbon bow or scarf wound about them after the manner of such drapery as arranged on the hats of their elders. Harper's Bazar. j Longer Skirts For Little Girls. ' This fashion of putting little girls Into frocks that scarcely cover them came Into vogue last year, and lit erally deformed thin children who be came the victims of it. This year the loose frocks are all about a full knee In length, and some still longer. In addition to the blouses and tunics there are many artfon, or pinafore frock forms, a supply of which will keep the healthy romper looking fresh at all hours of the day, at a comparatively small .outlay of labor or money. Harper's Bazar. Explaining the. Huge Hat. The plain, rather dark colored suit was in vogue this winter, the simple kilt skirt and severe three-quarter coat! Obviously, something had to be Introduced to soften the hard lines Pickled Onions. Peel small white Jisoi and cover tnem with one and one-half cups salt and two quarts of boiling water and let stand two days. Drain and cover with fresh brine the same as before; let stand two days again, and drain again. Make more brine and heat to the boiling point. Put in the onions and boll three minutes. Put in jars, Inter spersed with bits of mace, white pepper corns, cloves, bits of bay leaf and slices of red pepper. Fill jars to overflow with vinegar scalded with sugar, allowing one and one-quarter cups of sugar to one gallon of vinegar., Cork while hot. Amer ican Home Monthly. r . 1 ex u or tnis costume, ana the nat was tne only medium. The straight-cut suit gave a perpendicular line, to elim inate which a horizontal one was re quired, hence the wide hat; and this, by contrast with the rigidity of the suit, had to be ornamented with trim ming in broken lines, so we had end less Irregular loops and all kinds of fantastic feathers. Of course, then, when the hat trimming was regular and "set" the purpose of this style of hat was defeated. Harper's Bazar. To Relish Wife's Coeking. " A doctor tells me of a note he re ceived from a woman saying that her husband, who was about to make him a professional call, found constant fault with the dinner she prepared for him. She appealed to the phj&l clan for aid. The doctor examined his patient, who had a slight attack of indiges tion, and told him to cut out lunches, to eat nothing but a slice of toast and a cup of tea. The scheme worked excellently. Of course hubby returns home in the evening, eats everything in sight and votes his wife's cooking even better than mother used to make. Boston Record. Mrs. Rose, of Melrose. Mrs. Geraldine Farrar, the prima donfia, attended a luncheon of debu tantes in New York. Miss Farrar told the debutantes that there was happiness in wprk. She urged work upoti all of them. Work, she said, wotrld preserve them from degenera tion into such a type as Mrs. Rose, of Melrose. "Mrs. Rose's type is too lamlUar," she said. "To show you the sort of type she is: Mr, Rose came home from business. Mrs. Rose lay on a couch. He sat down by her Side and said: 'What did the doctor say, dear?' 'He asked me to put out my tongue,' murmured Mrs. Rose. 'Yes?' 'And he looked at it and said, 'Overworked.' " Mr. Rose heaved a long sigh of relief. 'Then, my dear,' he said, firmly, 'you'll have to give it a rest. I have perfect confidence in that doctor.' "-New York Tribune. Latitude in Fashions. A fashion note from New York tells us that a considerable amount of latitude is to be allowed to women In the matter of new costumes. They may wear any kind of sleeves that they like. They may be long or short, depending upon whether the arms are of the kind that one wishes to show or to conceal. But this apparent generosity is intended only as a lubri cant to an Inflexible -rigor elsewhere. The edict against waists and against hips is to be enforced to the utter most. Here there will be no latitude and no concession. The devotee who would fulfill the law to the uttermost must present the appearance of hav ing been liquified and then poured into the dress. And the dress is en tirely without those undulations that prove the presence of things unseen, the waist and the hips. The edict against waist and hips has been received with mingled emo tions. In some instances it meets with easy and instant acquiescence, but elsewhere there are protests and maledictions. It is easy to under stand a compliance that means no more than the discarding of those useful appliances that are prodigally displayed at the bargain counter and plctorially advertised La the daily newspapers. But how about the ladles whose hips are fixtures and who have received from mother na ture without money and without price what less favored ones must purchase from art and mechanical skill? Their lot is truly a hard one, tor to the mere male mind It soems a bewildering impossibility thus to put on and off a "garment of flesh" that is periodically blessed and banned by fickle fashion. Training and diet may do something, but those things take time, ami the changing styles are always in a hurry. Not long ago a lady in a New York store who aBked for something in the latest fashion was asked to take a seat for a few minutes as the fashions were then changing. What then must be the fate of the fair ones who are in vited to get rid of natural encum brances between dusk and dawn with the full assurance that they will have to replace them with a similar rapid ity? The Argonaut. v - Crusade Against Plumes. Whether the particular means he has adopted will achieve their object or not, there will be cordial approval of Lord Avebury's crusade against the wearing of the plumes of certain wild or rare birds. It Is indeed strange that women, who so often lead the world in humanitarian sen timent, seem to have absolutely no feeling in ' matter; what fashion decrees they obey blindly even though their adornment involves the destruction of the parent bird during the nesting season and the slaughter of the young brood. At Jthe plume auctions held in London during the last six months of 1907 there were catalogued 15,742 skins of birds of paradise, some 115,000 nesting plumes 'of the heron; during the whole year 190,000 egrets were sold. So much for the humanity of fashion; and there is a regrettable tendency to push the matter further, and to wear hatpins of hare's feet, aad such like horrible "ornaments." The pre servation of a beautiful animal is more Important than the decoration of a hat in a manner which a little reflection would show to be repulsive; but we are not sure that legislation will prove stronger than fashion. Wo men generally contrive to make a law look ridiculous when it suits their purpose; and acts such as that of Queen Alexandra, who refuses to wear ospreys, and has made it known that she objects to ladies wearing them who are in her entourage,, will probably be of as much effect as a dozen bills. Laws are useless against the 'uneducated, and until those who design and those who weekly follow the dictates of fashion are educated to a sense of the cruelty their con duct involves there is little hope for the birds, which are the unfortunate victims of both. London Globe. Triumph of Youth. A certain line of exercises Is rec ommended to make children stronger than their parents. This looks like a blow at the woodshed ceremony. Hold Stone-Throning Contests. In parts of Switzerland stone throwing contests are held, handsome prises being given to those who throw & fair-sized rock farthest. Babylon was probably the first city to attain a population of a million. The area of the city was 223 square miles. New York City. The waist that is made with the square bertha effect is one of the latest and best liked and this one has the merit of being adapted to a great many different materials. It can be utilized either with or without a lining, and conse quently becomes available for all the pretty muslins and the like of the Bummer and also for the thin silks and light weight wools which require lining. In the Illustration the ma terial Is crepe de Chine, the yoke being made of tucked net, while the bertha is of embroidered banding and the trimming 5h the blouse is of insertion and lace. There are also little buttons sewn on the outermost tucks, which are exceedingly chic and smart, and there is a girdle of messa Hne satin. Collars are somewhat high this season, but fortunately fashion also -allows of the Dutch neck, and this waist can be finished in either way, while the little close fitting under sleeves make an attractive feature. The blouse, is made with the lining, which can be used or omitted as liked, and Itself consists of the full front and backs. These last are laid In a combination of wide and rather narrow tucks, and the girdle is ar ranged over the lower edge of the lining and serves as a finish to the blouse. The bertha can be made either from banding, mitred as illus trated, or cut from all-over material. The close fitting lining sleeves are faced to form the deep cuffs and the pretty little frilled ones are arranged over them. Pendants and Tassels. The fashion for pendants and tas sels reaches the acme of perfection in a shawl wrap of silk In Oriental colors which hangs In a long point at the back and whose long ends at the front are gathered Into points, and all three finished with heavy silk tassels. Sleeves In One. Sleeves made In one with the bod ice are the latest decree of fashion. Mercury Wings of Feathers. Mercury wings of real feathers, adorn the front of a smart shirt waist hat, and Mercury wings of gold con fine the tiny locks of hair which are bo apt to fall at the back of the coif fure and make it look unkempt. A butterfly bow closes the collar and an embroidery of butterflies covers the waist. There is no accounting for tastes, In design, but every one of the above Is good. Straight Pleated Walking Skirt. Bordered materials are so beauti ful and so many that there Is an ever increasing demand for skirts that are suited to their use, and this one is straight at its lower edge and conse quently perfectly well adapted to the purpose, while it is graceful and be coming. It is laid In pleats which are stitched flat over the hips, so doing away with bulk at that point, and it Is suited, to almost, every seasonable material. If bordered ones are not liked plain fabrics can be trimmed to Bult individual fancy, with braid, ap plique or banding of the same or of contrasting material or the skirt can be embroidered or braided with sou tache or left plain, finished only with a stitched hem. The skirt Is made in one piece and Is laid in backward turning pleats. The upper edge is joined to a narrow belt. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and one half yards of bordered material forty-four Inches wide; or seven and three-eighth yards twenty-seven, six and one-quarter yards thirty-two or five yards forty-four Inches wide if plain material is used. Party Frocks. Sashes, hair-bows, slippers and socks match In color for the part; costumes, the frocks themselves be ing of some filmy white mull or ba tiste elaborately inset with lace and worn over a white mull slip. Trotting Skirts. Bell-shaped skirts have vanished. Trotting skirts now bung very straight. THAT SPHERE. (Matrimony Is the better paid, and easier occupation.

A gentleman recently brought to the British Museum about half a peck of stones asserted to have been taken from the stomach of an African ele phant. The stones are quite angular and unworn. It was stated by the donor that other instances of the same nature are known to hunters. It such stones are habitually swal lowed by .elephants, one wonders, in the first place, that they do not seri ously damage the molar teeth, and secondlywhy it Is that they do not become rounded. It may be added that the same gentleman recently demonstrated the existence of the stone-swallowing habit of crocodiles. Philadelphia Record. His Dignity Hurt. . .
