and in litornry atylo, nnd fovr knew that
thoy woro tho work of n llttlo schoolgirl.

Ilor youth wnn Hont iu Texas, nnd hor
first contributions wcro printed in the
papers of that atnto. For several years
After tnking up hor pen alio confined hor
solf to pootry na hor modium of expres
sion, nnd her first volume of verses passed
through fivo odltions. Sho has been writ
ing in prose for about fivo years. Quito
early in lifo sho married Major T, .
Davis, a Virginian and a graduate of the
Unlvorslty of Virginia. Ho is now on
tho staff of tho Now Orleans Plcayuno
and is a gentleman of wide culture
Mrs. Davis' first essays in proso con
sisted of a series of sketches of tho old
French quarter in Now Orleans under
tho general titlo of "Keron-hnpperchand
I." Thoso attracted attention and Ad
miring comment. Later camo "In War
Timos nt La Roso Blanche" "Pcro Dago
bort" (long poem), "Tho Throwing of tho
Wanga" (poem), "Tho Elephant's
Track," "Mammy Quggor," "Tho Song
of tho Opal," "Tho Center Figger," "At
La Glorious,!' "Tho Soul of HosoDodc,"
"Mr. Gish's Ball," "A Honrt Leaf From
Stony Creek Bottom" and other strong
and artistic stories printed in tho loading
monthlies nnd weeklies of this country
And many of them complimented by
translation into othor languages. "Tho
Soul of Roso Dedo" mado such an impres
sion by its originality and splrituollo
quality that tho author received over
100 letters of congratulation on it.
Mrs. Davis lives in a quaint, antique
homo in tho old French quarter in Now
Orleans a typical residonco, with its
galleries, inner court and sweet wilder
ness of palms and flowers. Hero she
holds her salon a real litornry center
and here sho lias entertained many of tho
most noted authors and artists of the
day. 8ho has ono child, an exquisitely
pretty llttlo maid named Pearl,

Two Pretty Head Ile.ta.
Tho pretty head rest shown in tho first
illustration has tho center mado of cham
ois skin, cut heart shaped, showing a
dainty design painted in delicate tints.
puffing of silk, matching some tint in
the floral design, is adjusted about the
edgos. At tho edge of tho chamois,
where tho puffing is joined to it, Japa
nese gold t .iroad is arranged in a scroll
design. At each Bido of tho top a loop
of gold cord is fastened for tho purpose
of securing tho rest to tho chair.
Figured India drapery silk is the
material from which tho head rest in the
second illustration is mado. It is simply
small pillow, oblong in shape, smoothly
incased in a covering of Bilk. Loops of
cord are tacked at the upper corners to
adjust tho cushion to tho chair, and five
silk tassels ornament tho lower edge. If
preferred, plain silk may bo used for tho
case, and a design may bo worked upon
it in silks. Gem-rude Whxkt.
Theater Hat
One reason why so fow care to take off
their hats in publio is that it is very dif
ficult to dress the hair well and wear a
bat on it, and tho hair is combed straight
back and braided, and that is a stylo be
coming to but very fow, Such ladies
should wear small bonnets. It is a sign
of ill breeding to do anything which in
terferes with another's comfort, above
all when it can be avoided. Almost any
thing can bo twisted up into a pretty
theater bonnet or toque so thero really
u no excuse.
atla la Colors.
Satin in colors is rarely worn except
in combination or as lining, but black
and white always will have their ad
herents, and It la really quite fancy for
the little oses, even as Avail a six yean

or wash silk, ns suits tho season. Many

bottom, with an edging on each side, but

tnent is snitnblo allko for girls nnd boys.
Tho wool tricoting is very strong nnd
floxiblo and will not tear and never
seems to wear out, which makes it a
very useful fabric for these tots who roll
and crawl qulto as much as thoy walk,
and it is Also light in weight. It can bo
secured in all light solid colors nnd also
in stripes. Tiny hand knit socks nnd
stockings nro much moro fashlonablo for
mall children than they woro, and tho
baby that wears such is considered an
aristocrat generally a "bloated ono" at
that.
A very pretty frock for a llttlo girl of
about 6 wo say frocks for children, you
know is of soft wool in tho color that
becomes hor best, if tho mother has her
ohoico and is not obliged to mako over her
own old ones. Thero is a yoko nud fore
arms of sonio novelty brocado, or if pre
ferred thoy can bo of the saino material,
braided with gold soutache Tho skirt
is plain And tho waist shirred on. Thero
is a sash of soft surah to match. The
wholo plan is simple, pretty and service
able. Hats for tho children aro tho biggest
whon thoy are smallest, paradoxically
peaking, and this yoar thoy nro mado so
that they bend and dent in every direc
tion but look all tho moro artistic. Soft
And fluffy plumes, big satin bows and a
lovely bunch of spring flowers aro scon
on tho newest, according to taste, but
some of them have all three at once.
For llttlo girls from 7 to 10 years the
gowns are mode plain and neat, with
rery llttlo ornamentation. From 10 to
15 the skirts aro almost always plain,
but the waists aro some of thorn quite
elaborate and interchangeable with dif
ferent skirts, so that with one waist can
be worn three or four different skirts.
One such corsage was made with a
pointed Eton jacket front of navy blue
brocade, with vest collar and under
sleeves pf pale blue surah, with the edges
of tho ruffle embroidered in open pat
tern, something quite new, on silk. The
collar was high, and in front was a bow
And jabot of tho embroidored silk. With
this waist there were four skirts, ono of
dark bluo enshraero with a piping of pale
bluo on tho upturned hem; a pale blue
cashmere with feather stitching in white
and dark bluo mingled; a prune colored
crepon mode qulto plain except for n
very narrow quilling of pale bluo at the
bottom under tho hem and scarcely visi
ble from tho outside. The fourth was a
dark moss green, and this was cut boll
shapo and piped down overy seam with
pale bluo. This mado really quite n
handsomo wardrobe with small expense
and trouble, as it is tho waist in these
days that gives tho most trouble.

Another most useful corsago for n grow

ies distract the oyo from tho awkward

this a lining to the waist portion of

ROOMS FOR THE MILLION.

Caro of Vl.ltor.
lHtlnl Corronomtence.
Chicago, Fob. 10. A Frenchman of
distinction in his own country pud who
ropresonts in a prominent capacity the
interests of tho sister republic during
tho continuance of tho World's fair,
and nn American of equal distinction,
whoso nnmo is n part and parcel of
tho great project, sat vis-a-vis at a
(ablo In tho enfo of ono of tho swellest
of Michigan avenuo's hotels tho othor
evening. A dinner that did full justico
to tho American's f anions an epicurohad
been dlHjxmed of, nud tho two dlnors out
had gotten down to tho ploasuros of cafo
noir, when tho door opened and a mil
itary looking man with grizzled features
nnd that iwcullnr gray mustacho and
gontco which distinctively remind ono of
frontier service entered tho npartmont.
Tho American host nnd tho uowcomor
exchanged n military salute. Then tho
former asked:
"Ami how nro things going in your
department, major? You aro mighty
lucky in having quarters down town
and not being compelled to travel to tho
park thoso blizzardy days."
"Wo aro iu tho swim, gonoral," was
tho rcsponso of tho grizzled veteran as
ho inclined his head in recognition of an
introduction to tho Frenchman and
reached over his hand for tho menu,
"Over 1,000 letters in tho first mall this
morning."
"Ono thousand lottors," ejaculated tho
Frenchman, only ho said it with that
peculiar pronunciation that only thoso
to tho manor born can roproduco in
print. "That is what I would call ono big
corresiondonco."
"That Is n moro nothing, monslour," re
plied tho veteran. "Wo will bo getting
them by tho wagon load in a month or
so," and tho Frenchman shook his head,
shrugged his shoulders, elovated his eye
brows and generally indicated that, as
our Irish friends would say, "He couldn't
mako it out, begorra, at all, nt all."
A goodly number of pcoplo wcro just
as much surprised ns was tho French
man when tho World's fair directorato
decided to add a hotel and rooming de
partment to tho bureau of publio com
fort. Thoy woro inclined to look upon
it ns something of nn nping of that sys
tem of paternal govornmont that pro
vails in European countries, but which
has always been frowned down on this
sldo of tho Atlantic as hardly in conso
nance with tho froo air of a ropublio.
But tho directorate argued that it was
its duty to co-oporato, to tho best of its
ability, with tho citizens nnd household
ers of Chicago and vicinity in securing
suitnblo and dcsirablo lodging accom
modations nt fair nnd roosonablo rates
for expected visitors, on tho ground that
tons of thousands of people would bo do
torred from visiting tho fair unless satis
factory assurances could bo given them
on this point.
What better assuranco, arguod tho di
rectorate, could possibly bo given than
tho fact that tho exposition authorities
thomsolvos would undortako to houso
them? As to tho question of eating, thoy
could look ufter that without assistance
Thero will bo plenty of restaurants and
maybo, judging from tho looks of things,
plenty to spare. Anyway a man can got
along on half rations if ho has only a
comfortablo placo to sloop. Rest for the
body and mind is infinitely moro bene
ficial than gorging tho stomach, whon
only n modicum of sloop accompanies it.
And so tho World's fair peoplo went
into tho rooming business. They di
vided tho city into districts and soctions,
prepared an official register and Invited
parties who proposed to havo furnished
rooms to let next summor to send in a
full description, naming tho prices, au
thorizing tho department to inspect such
accommodations, likowiso authorizing it
to let tho samo from day to day, week to
week or month to month, and to collect
the rent in advance. Tho responso was
instantaneous.
Over 10,000 householders, many oi
them well to do people living on fashlon
ablo thoroughfares, And whoso pride
would not permit of their putting a "To
Rent" sign in their window, or even ad
vertising vacant accommodations in the
newspapers, have already listed with the
exposition authorities. These 10,000 can
furnish facilities for 40,000 or 60,000 pco
plo nightly. Before tho 1st of May it is
expected tho list will havo doubled, and
it is nut outsido tho province of proba
bility that along Jn midsummer 100,000
peoplo will nightly bo thanking tho fore
thought of tho directorate for tho com
fortablo rest thoy aro nightly enjoying.
Tho modus operandi is very simple. A
citizen of Ohio, for instanco, writes the
bureau of public comfort that himseli
and wifo oxpect to tako in tho World's
fair on tho Uth, 12th and 13th of Au
gust; that thoy havo novor been in tho
city boforo; that thoy aro In doubt nbout
being ablo to securo accomodations with
in their moans, and thut they would like
to know all about it, intimating, more
over, that a certain figure is as high as
tuey feel thoy can afford to pay per day.
Tho department replies that it has on
its list just such quarters as tho corre
spondent desires and at the price he
namos, and that, if ho will forward the
amount called for, covoring the number
of days to bo spout in Chicago, thoy will
forward him a rental certificate, which
will securo to himself and his wifo tho
rooms engaged for tho term and dato se
lected. Tho citizen semis tho money,
gets a certificate in return and stows it
away in his pockotbook. His worry and
anxioty nre things of tho pnst. Ho comes
to Chicago, finds his rooms ready for
him, occupies them for tho limit and
goes away satisfied.
Thoro is no negotiating or hlckoring
witu tno landlord or landlady. Tho latter
gets his or her remuneration from the
buronu of public comfort and has the
additional satisfaction of knowing that
by this system full nnd nmplo protection
is afforded against tho deudbeat frater
nity. This may bo In thoory paternal gov
emmeut, but it is n kind of patornul go
eminent that, judging by tho pmwntd
mand on the department from prospti
Jive visitors, Is certain to prove iinmmi
ly popular next summer.
