The Snow Fairies," said Daddy, "thought they would like to take a long walk along the top of a mountain. Fl DADDY'S tVCNINO FAIRYTALE Well Garbed to Meet Easter. Every tailored suit must stand the acid test of the most discriminating of all publics when It comes to the matter of suits. Lone ago America won pre-eminence In this regard and not even Paris disputes it. Here is pictured one of the new spring models, In which any woman will delight to meet Master. Even a brief glance nt It reveals special features la Its con struction that will appeal to women with n lino sense of clothes. To begin with, It is made of wool poplin In tan (which It Is fashionable to call sand color), and It bespeaks the springtime. It Is trimmed with stitched buttons and they can't be ex celled for imparting a llnlshed smart ness. The Jacket Is plnln and beautifully shaped at the front. At the back, plaits extending from the waistline to hem acknowledge the sway of this feature In spring styles. The skirt has plaits at each side at the back and front and a loose belt about the waist. The strap trimming appears In the hips, and it is as ef fective here as on the coat. The length as shown in the picture is cor rect, bringing the edge of the hem an inch or so below the shoetops. A detachable collar and vestee of white pique is to be worn with this suit, or this dainty addition may be made of organdie or crepe. By this means the touch of Immaculate fresh ness Is always possible, and nothing is more dear to the heart of women. Triumphs in Tailored Hats. After nil Is said and done, the smart tailored hat holds the center of the stage in the drama of millinery, Just as the best tailored suits are paramount In the world of apparel. These aro the two Items Mint should receive first consideration In every woman's mind whenever she turns her attention to her wardrobe. It is bet ter to economize In dressy clothes thnn In those Intended for street wear, and In Mie latter, style and good work manship nre essentials, which women should he willing to pay for. "Whether wo like It or not, we must reconcile ourselves to some advance In prices for both tailored suits and hats. It Is Impossible to produce them as cheaply as In former years, yet millinery hns advanced less In price than almost any oilier article that women wenr. Three handsome tailored hats are shown above. The model at the left Is of black straw braid with bell crown and narrow mushroom brim. It has a strictly tailored trim of white gros grain ribbon and la a hat that Is be coming to almost every face. The hat nt Mie center of the group Is an adap tation of the "coolie" hat from China and Is Intended for youthful wearers. On a black straw or sntln turhan the coolie crown covered with even rows of narrow ribbons Is posed at a Jaun ty angle. The finish is as It should, be, fi handsome tassel. A bell-shaped hat, of ltUKslau Inspi ration, is shown at the right. It Is a black straw with brilliant finish, hav ng a pattern In black soutache braid applied about the crown. At the front an embroidered ornament with two pendent silk balls provides much en livening color In a small space. s FASHION'S FANCIES Among simpler evening coats the old-time Arab burnonse Is seen. For sporting wear the newest combl nntlon Is a velvet Jacket and skirt of tweed. There is a new sleeve- that, hangs straight and Is very wide at the hot torn. Narrow Toea for Shoes. Those who make women's shoes prophesy even a narrower toe for the spring than we have worn heretofore, It was thought by tho women Mint ugliness In this line had gone far enough. Those who wore No. ! now havo to wear No. 5, on account of the sharply pointed toe. It may bo that wo will revive the medieval shoes along with the medieval clothes, If fanatl clsm goes much farther. "'We'll start right away,' one of them said. "So u little Fairy named 'Snow Drop' led tho walk, and another Fairy called 'Snow Flake,' made all the sug gestions. "Now Snow Flako was tho mother fairy of all the little snow Hakes and she called nil the children to the walk ing trip. " 'Come Snow Flake children,' she whistled through the wind. And along came the Snow Flnke children scam pering and laughing. '"It's going to snow again,' said tho Grown-Ups on the earth,' and wo thought that the snow had almost gone.' "The Snow Drop children and Moth er bnow Drop the Snow Flake chil dren and Mother Suow Flake all went walking nnd dancing along the top of the mountain. "'Isn't It strange,' said the Grown ups, 'that the mountain top Is covered with snow but that very little Is com- UoM's ii machinery liug at ront-tourth street ami the Hudson river, Xnv York, awaiting This illustrates a condition that It Is believed will he relieved by the president's action In arming vessels. HEAVY GUNS READY FOR THE SPRING DRIVE ..I.I ... American merchant Snow Fairies Settled Around tho Cave. Ing down here? Just now and again a few Hakes come down but along the mountain top there Is a long ridge of snow.' "Of course that was because old King Snow hadn't come out. And the snow flakes that fell to the earth were some of the trimmings of the little dresses and suits worn by the Snow Flako children which fell as they walked. Most of them fell off aa they were walking along on the mountain top, and only n few fell way down to the earth below the mountain. "They walked and walked until they reached u cave at the top of the moun tain. " 'Here Is the cave owned by Judge Hock,' said Mother Snow Drop. " 'Is he a friend of ours?' asked tho Snow Drop children. " 'Ah,' said Mother Snow Flake, 'wo old mothers bnow so many more peo ple than tho children.' " 'That's because you've been around more than wo have,' said tho Snow Flnke children. "And both Mother Snow Drop and Mother Snow Flake agreed. "When they got to the cave of Judge Rock they knocked on the side of the biggest rock of all. "'Ugh, oh, Jlnnnlny crlckoty, dear me, oh my,' said Judge Hock. "What are you hitting my great toe for?' "'Are wo hitting your toe?' asked the Snow Flake children. '"Did we hurt you?' asked tho Snow Drop children. "'Ah, no,' said Judgo Hock, 'tho Snow Flukes und Snow Drops can't hurt a tough old fellow like Judge Hock. I'm made of stone; hard, hard stotie, you see, and nothing hurts inc. I'm so solid und strong.' '"That's good,' said tho Snow Flakes and Snow Drops. '"Won't you tell tho children the story of your life?' asked Mother Snow Flake. "'Oh do,' chimed In Mother Snow Drop. "'Thank you, I'll be happy to,' said Judge Hock. And all the Snow Fairies settled around the cave and listened while Judge Hock told his story. "You see, he commenced, 'I am tho largest rock around these parts, and for that reason 1 have been named Judge Hock. My home und myself aro all one. It's so convenient not to have a separate Pome for oneself. The Cave Is Me. I am tho Cave. Isn't that fine.?' "And all the children laughed and thought Judge Hock was very won derful Indeed. "'I havo u great many children.' said Judge Hock. They are not uh big or as strong as I am for Hint Is qulto right. They are called tho Stones, and I havo grandchildren, too,' ho added proudly. '"Who aro they?' asked the Know Fairies. " They aro the little pebbles,' said Judge Hock. 'And such line little peb bles as they all are. They often play with your cousins tho Sand Fairies when Mr. Wind blows them about and Old Father Ocean roars around the Sea Shore.' '"What a splendid family you have," said the Snow Fairies, 'and we are so grateful to you for telling us about them.' " 'You're welcome,' said Judge Hock, 'and before you go you miiHt have some of my Moss soup and snow Ice cream.' "So old Judge Hock gave a party In his cave which was both his home and hlnself I" A French olllclal photograph showing the reserves of guns ready in the artillery parks on tho western front for spring operations.
