sN the Spring the feminine fancy
lightly turns to fashions bizarre.
Wfe havo always a certain number
of what I call freak fashions, and
we indulge our love for the new and novel
by 'adopting these in their turn. It is bo
cause of the newness of the Spring; the
annual budding pf the flowers, and the flow
ing of the sap in the trees and shrubs makes
us Ions, like the earth, to cast asido our
Winter trappings and to put on as many
new things as our pocketbooks permit And
this is why I think that we women wear in
thete Spring months gowns and hats that
we would not wear at any other season.
Aa I have told you many times, this sea
son finds remarkably few freakish hats, but
as though to compensate for this our gowns
have many unusual features. And among
' these are the slit skirts and the near
trousers that some of the mondalnes are
wearing,
Iain sending you tils week two models
that-'I think show the new Ideas to their
best advantage. The first one is the Tol
stoy gown. The skirt as you will see, fast
an to the front. The two sides are brought
together, the left over the right The left
side Is ace4 with satin of a contrasting
eeler, Tfcte arrangement gives thtt near-
trouser effect The peasant' blouse is what
gives the name to the whole costume, foe it
is modelled on the lines of those worn by
Tolstoy when he lived the simple life on his
Russian estate. The peplum is attached to
the skirt as you can see In the second fig
ure. Tho blouse is plain and tight and
draws on over the head like a Jersey. This
whole costume is created in old blue chiffon
broadcloth. The skirt facing is a bright
green.
Worn with this is a charming littfc hat of
butter color straw swathed with blue and
green shot silk. The feather fancy out
spreading at the back Is the shade of
the hat
The second figure shows the bodice worn
with the Tolstoy costume. It is a very
charming yttle affair of blue chiffon over
green chiffon, and worn over a lace slip. It
Is simple, but delightfully chic. And right
here let me tell you that the day of tho
marquesetto and voile has passed for
bodices, and wo are back where we started
from the' chiffon counter. Everything that
can be made of chiffon must ho. This is
obligatory.
In the third picture I am showing you
what I consider the most chic mode of the
Russian blouse that I have created. This

Mrs. Isabella Kellle, a writer and
a business woman, who has been suc
cessful at many things. Including
matrimony, fives her ldeaa on this,
subject to the Newly Weds to-day.
"A happy marriage Is made up ot
little sacrifices on both aides. When
these sacrifices are appreolatod by the
other half they turn In to mutual
pleasures.
"It takes a sreat deal of thought
to make a line art ot matrimony. Few
young- married people are willing to
study each other's needs and make
allowances lor tach other. Married
couples soon get into the habit of
ordering each other about without
saying "please" and thank you.' A
woman will do many Uttlo cervices
for a man if he voices his wants
politely and the same applies with
equal truth to the other sex.
"Generally one flnda when a mar
riage la not ideal that the couple are
suffering from too muoh of each
other's aoclety. In the days when
most people lived In houses sur
rounded by gardens the harassed
fcero or heroine could flee In the arbor
and Indulge In the luxury of soli

solitude lij the modern flat. And
every human being feels the need of

times.

When they are 111 or very tired. They
want to be left absolutely alone.
"Every person Is entitled to a room
or den where they can retire and
commune with their own souls when
they need to do so, without fear of
hurting the feelings ot the rest of the

BEYOND all poesy, sublimity ot

Sweet eventide, when mellow
shadows throng ,
The valleys, and the alow, reluotant
day.
On purple sandals, gliding, steals
away
Into the gloaming, by the sleeping
streams,
A pensive spirit passing unto dreams.
It la thehour when woods enchanted
glow,
And gentle winds with dying odors
blow.
From tree to, tree faint pipe of eve

The bat sweeps circling by the Ivied
wall. ,
A lark dropS fluttering to hla lowly
nest.
And drowsily the ringdove croons ot

Speeds lightly on. and slngeth as It

High uplands as at early morning

Sacred the light that gilds the day;s

As when the dawn with holy eyes

And opening blossoms sparkle with
her tears.
For gross, foreboding day, which
climbs the east.
Calling the world to work, and fight,

Although ablase with vision from his

But, come, the evening calls us, let

We must not sorrow because earth

A passion lingers In this serene air,
A passion void of triumph or despair.
Empty of storm, and hushed to calm
