Mrs. Cora Ransier gave a most de- lightful and interesting lecture to a very appreciative audience last night in the Masonic Hall. The hall was prettily docorated with cut flowers and the seats were arranged in rows to suit the occasion, Mrs. Ransier, who has a very charming personality, wore a white silk gown embroidered with blue for- get-me-nots, purchased in the Ori- ent, and a zouave embroidered by Armenian girls whose parents were murdered in the brutal massacres in their country a short time ago. A school has been instituted for these girls in order that may learn to earn a livelihood. The speaker painted many interesting pictures of the Holy Land to the audience and the hours passed only too soon. She dis- played a costume worn by the wom- en in Palestine, and had one of the Star officers to put it on. It was home-woven and coarse, woven some- thing like our wool poplin. The cap was shaped something like a fez with a chain strung with pieces of silver passed under the chin. She explained that it was one of these pieces of silver that the woman in the parable lost when she swept the house diligently and when it was found called upon her friends and reighbors to rejoice with her, as these pieces of silver correspond in sacredness to our wedding ring’ She then stng\a selection from the East- ern Star Floral work, “Ruth and Naomi,” which proved her to be a woman of many accomplishments, having a pleasing voice as well as | being her own acompanist. She then showed a shoe which had been worn by a horse in Palestine, and which covered the whole bottom of the horse’s foot. The lecture was most interesting from beginning to end, and showed a very wide scope of learning as well as travel Dr. and Mrs. Ransier leave today for Bartow to give a lecture there for the Eastern Star Chapter. The members of Palm Chapter ap- preciate Mrs. Ransier's visit very much and only hope she may decide to cast her lot with us, if not in Lakeland, at least within the juris- diction of the Grand Chapter of Florida. HERE s nodoubt now that hats (or rather bennets) made of lace will bé aleading feature In head- wear for children during the eom- ing spring. Already, those who create the styles for the public's acceptance, or rejection, have made many beau- tiful bonnets and bonnet-like hats, with such good success, that they will be sure to sell. They appeal to the moth- ers from the standpoint of beauty and utility, and more than all, from that of economy. The majority are made of narrow val lace and those of other laces as a rule will show good wearing qualities. These pretty head coverings are made in nearly every case on a wire frame which is faced with shirred silk or chiffon. But sometimes the brim facing is also of lace. Ribbons in silk or velvet are used with them. Many small flowers, too, add to their beayty. They are set in prim and quaint fash- fon about the crowns, or in one or two little bouquets on the brim. Forget-me- nots, June roses, moss-rose buds, small daisies and blossoms of fruit trees re- UR sketch {llustrates a little home-made contrivance that will be much appreciated by many people as it is of service for keeping warm the early morning bed- room cup of tea that always suffers so unless the reciplent happens to be quite ready for it. It was made with the aid of a square tin biscult box, and as biscuit boxes are constructed in almost every con- celvable size and shape it is not diff- cult to obtain one that will fit com- fortably over a cup and saucer. For this tin, and fitting it exactly, a cover She Made Mer Furs. Some very pretty afternoon and evening scarfs and muffs have been made by girls, using fur and marabout trimmings left over from former years. One girl bad yards of swans- down that bad trimmed her first party cloak. She cut the bands in half lengthwise, making a band a little overan inch wide. This she sewed on the edges of a scarf of fawn-color chif- fon cloth, with two bands at even in- tervals between the edges. She made also a big, soft muf? to match with the swansdown bands. The hat she wears with these 1s of white beaver, with a white marabout baad and standing feather at the lett.—Harper's Basar. Smocking and Braiding.

Usu ally the finished hat looks considerably larger than the frame, Val and cluny laces are the favor ftes. Quite a number of novelty laces have been brought out, but are not more attractive than those we have had heretofore, White and pale colors make up near- ly gll the bonnets so that a choice of colors is easy enough. Very thin silks, chiffons and laces, are used for fac ings. Wide, soft ribbons or narrow velvet ribbons are chosen, with small flowers for trimming.

The words “Good Morning” were worked upon one side, and the cover was fastened to the tin by stiches run through the material and a number of tiny holes plerced in the sides of the tin near the corners. The dotted line in the sketch indicates the cup of tea underneath the “cozy.” This little contrivance will keep a cup of tea warm for some time, and it is by no means unsightly, and is easily removed from the teapot when the tea Is required. “FRUIT” SACHET THE LATEST Quaint Conceit of the Season Has Made Its Way Into Deserved Popularity. Quite one of the quaintest conceits of the season is the “fruit’ sachet. In- stead of the little flat satin perfumed sachets to which one is accustomed one now uses small clusters of grapes in natural colors, purple and green, ar- ranged quite flat with a circle of small || leaves around, white cherries, dell cately flushed with pink, tiny apples, some quite green, others rosy, and greenish yellow limes, all are requisi || BATES’ BARGAIN Include everything in the line of Dry Goods, Dress Goods and Novelties, and the shopper who doesn’t go there first makes a mistake that will be re- gretted.
