Though fashions do mot change quite so quickly or so dr: tically now as they once did, still seems more {mportant now to have one’s entire wardrobe up to date. OF course, there s to be an ensem- ble suit. That solves the problem of the going-away costume better than anything else could possibly do. Really the bride of this Spring is fortunate, for the shops now have ready for your choosing such co tumes at most reasonable prices. Once, you know, the frock with coat to matc was an expensive proposition, though it always provided the smartest pos- sible sort of going away costume. It is well to choose either beige or navy blue. Brown is rather t0o warm in appearance for Spring. Belge is the prevailing choice for the Spring ensemble, but if you find it does not become you then by all means go back to navy blue, for the French dre makers have revived this old favori this Spring and there is no doubt that it will Increase in favor as the season advances, The ensemble may be of the three- piece sort with a slip and tunic. You might choose a twill slip with a crepe de chine tunic, with twill coat. all in beige. Decoration of flowers in some becoming shade gives the needed touch of color £ ok ok X CLEVER iden for the bride who wants to make the best show on a modest expenditure is to have two ensembles fombined in Let suppose that vou have a beige twill | coat with beige twill and crepe de beneath. Then have the coat lined with some sort of figured silk crepe, and of the same silk have a simple little frock that may worn for all sorts of informal afte noon affairs.

Chovse an attractively printed silk. The skirt is straight and short with fullness let in by way of side pleats, and is mounted on a thin wash-silk sleeveless bodice. The jumper itself may be long-sleeved or | very short-sleeved, with the sleeves and neck perhaps finished with plain | colored silk, to go with the figured | fabric. Usually these jumper blouses are for afternoon. For evening gold | or silver brocade or kid s a good all-round choice, kid being more com- fortable in warm weather than the brocade, which has no “give.” White doeskin opera pumps are well chosen | for the washable afternoon frock. If you like, you may choose a pair of black velvet slippers for evening or afternoon to be worn with very sheer | flesh-colored stockings. This is a fashion that was revived by a num- ber of well dressed young women at Palm Beach and other Southern Winter resorts. * % * % ane. us | OR many years we have been very much dominated in our ideas of design and decoration by the Orfent. All through history there have been periods when Occidental thought and taste have been under this influence. Hundreds of years ago the crusaders brought back Oriental id of deco- ration when they returned from the Holy Land. Napoleon's eastern cam- palgns brought about wave of Orientalism in French design and decoration. Dozens of other histori- cal events have similarly tinged our fashions in clothes, furniture, and decorations generally with the art of the East. Recently ws have been much pre- occupled with Orientalism. But there is no doubt that the reaction has set in. True, there is still an enormous demand for Orlental rugs, but here and there you will meet a discrimi- nating woman who feels that some other sort of floor covering better THE FROCK OF PRINTED VOILE.

One young wom- an who is refurnishing her drawing room has decided to transfer the Orlental rugs from that room to the 20-year-old son’s sitting room-bed- room, using single-toned taupe Tugs in the drawing room instead. This floor covering is really in much bet- ter Kkeeping with the decorative scheme she has in mind. Perhaps & good many of us ars of one mind with Mr. Bakst, the well known designer of scenery, who said recently that he was “tired of the seraglio. I want fresh air, fresh inspiration, open spaces,” he is quot- ed as saying.

Sardines Fight Fish and Fishers. *The little tajnly has to weren't that sardine herring cer- fight for its life. If it the sardines raise such big families, they'd have passed out of existence vears ago” declared Cap'n White, as he helped his grand- =on Ted to another big sardine cov- ered with mustard, “Why, what's so hard about the sardine’s life?” asked Ted, who loved to hear the old fisherman tell about the different kinds of fishing he had scen or taken part in. “Well, the sardine happens to be The Irish of It. Timmy had forgotten it was St. Pat- ck’s day. He set oft for the office Without a single touch of green. It was not until he was on the street car that be noticed the green ties and the little wilk ehamrocks. His heart sank. His gmother hadn't called him as early as @mual, and in his excitement to get away time he had forgotten what day it as He considered buying a shamrock, but @emembered that all the money he had ‘with him, since he carried his lunch, wwas strest car fare home. Yet he eouldn’t let St. Patrick’s day pass with- out wearing some sort of decoration in 4ts honor. He came into the office early. He was office boy in &n advertising agency, wiilch employed @ number of artiets. He started to dust off some of their desks, when he was struck by an idea. He had often done sketching at home to amuse Bimself and loved to use paints. He sat down at one of the boards, ook a scrap of paper, sketched a sham- ock, painted it green and cut it out. en hie pinned it on his coat. Not satis- Iy that, and moved to do more mor to his native country, he decided paint & sign to put on the wall of the #tockroom over which he had charge. He took a larger sheet of paper and nted “Top o' the Morning” across e top. Underneath it he rapidly phetched a harp, a shamrock end an Erishman with & pipe in his mouth o was 8o busy at his work that he @1ab't hear any one come in.

Gulls and other seafowl, too, are very fond of dipping down into the water and securing a sardine dinner. fany's the time I've been around sardine fishing. It's quite & business now, though it was just 50 vears ago that the first American sardines were canned. They were canned in East- port, Me., the most easterly city in the United States, which is now the center of the canning industry. “The natural hang-out of the sar- dine herring is about Passamaquod- dy Bay and the Bay of Fundy, al- though large catches are made all along the Maine coast late in the Summer season after the big Eastern run has diminished. “The fish are caught in brush and net weirs placed among the many islands of eastern Maine waters, From 25 to 50 hogsheads are consid- ered a fair day's catch on one tide, while on various occasions 100 hogs- heads of herring have been taken in weirs near Eastport, bringing their owners from $6 to $20 a hogshead, according to market prices, for their night's work. “One queer thing fishermen have noticed about sardine herring—every three years there are quantities of fish, while during the two years be- tween the supply seems lighter. I can't explain this. It's just one of the things you run up against in fishing.” looked at it carefully. “Say, boy, wh didn’'t you tell us you liked to draw? This fsn't half bad. Really like to learn how to sketch?’ Oh, would T!" exclaimed Timmy. “Well, if you'd like to stay after work a couple of evenings a week I'd be glad to give you what lessons I can.

An old Southern planter was dis- cussing the hereafter with one of the colored servants. “Sam,” he sald, “it you die first, I want you to come back and tell me what it's like over there. If I die first, I'll come back and tell you what it's like.” “Dat suits me, massa,” replied the old negro, “but if you dies first, Ah wants you to promise me dat youw'll come back in de daytime.” Answer to Yesterday's Puzzle.

Mr. Childs, who used to be a game warden in the woods of north- ern Wisconsin, collected these stories himself from the “oldtimers.”) Did you ever lose your hooks when you were fishing?
