Whatever you want in rea lestate. we have it. “Yes, they’re pretty fine,” he admit- | ted, doubtfully. “But the yellow ones ‘are more—well, sunny, don't you | think?” He eyed the price tag thought- fully. The yellow flowers were a whole dollar a dozen cheaper. “Ye-es,” she pondered, thoughtfully. “I suppose they are. But I do love those big lavender ones.” She paused a moment, then she turned adoring eyes toward the yellow flowers. “Oh, I do love the yellow ones, too! Then shall we get these?” She looked at him expectantly. “Well, now, we must look at all of them,” he replied. “We mustn't hurry. 1 like the yellow chrysanthe mums better than the lavender, but how about roses? Now, roses, I think, are a lot prettier than chrysanthe- mums!” He contemplated the price tags again, thoughtfully. Roses were only about half the price of the chrys- anthemums, “Oh, yes,” the girl breathed, softly. “Aren't they heavenly? Those big pinkish white ones! Oh, let's get those. They look like—like—sunset, don't they?’ She viewed them long- ingly. Did you see these little red ones?" he exclaimed, suddenly, as his com- prehensive view took in the marvelous price marked on their tag. ‘“Aren't they pretty?” He glanced at her cau- tiously. She looked where he pointed. “Oh, they are sweet!" she admitted, delight- edly. “Just like little strawberries. Oh, I almost think I like them better than the big ones! Don't you?” “Yes, lots better!” the man replied feelingly. “But did you see those little white stars, down there!” he exclaim-. ed as she opened her lips to ask him to buy the roses. “Aren't they the flowers, though! They look like the May flowers. Remember them? They were white and starlike, just like these, only these are lots bigger!” He noted carefully the placard announc. | ing that they were sold by the bunch instead of by the dozen. “Yes, and they're 8o cheap, too! We could get two or three bunches!” The girl had noticed the placard. “Shall we get these?’ She waited, tapping her foot impatiently as he considered. He smiled at her for lack of words. Then he had an inspiration. “Why,* he said, gently reproving her im- patience, “I thought you told me that there wasn't anything on earth you like 80 well as goldenrod, and here you never even look to see if they have it! I'm afraid you're like other women, after all, It's the showy things you like—not the things that are filled with sentiment! And you were brought up where goldenrod was thickest, too!” The girl moved uneasily. She look- ed at the big bunches of goldenrod disdainfully. You could have ail you could carry for 10 cents. There seem- ed to be as much of it as there was in the fields at home, right there on | the counter! “Oh, but—" she began rebelliously. He checked her words, with a sad shake of his head. “There, doa't say it!” he entreated her. “I want to be- lieve that you truly love the simple things of our childhood! 1 want to feel that you haven't lost your charm in this big city! Take the roses or the chrysanthemums, if vou wish—but don’t say that you prefer them to gold- enrod!” The girl reached out i penitent hand. “Oh,” she begged, “do let's get goldenrod! I'm so glad you reminded me! Oh, George, whatev should T fall into if I don't have you' I'm pet- ting so—so—sordid, in th« city!” And she buried her face in ti« poldenrod as he handed the clerk a dime.—Ghi- cago Daily News. Indian Languages. Probably the most imp«riant and most surprising fact about American Indian languages is their «normous number. On the North ‘merican continent there were spok«n jrobably 1,000, and possibly even mcre differ- ent languages and dialects Of South America we know less, but «verything points to an equal linguis'i~ variety on that continent. The tremendous total is astounding beuu:« the aborig- inal population in both cont'n tainly numbered fewer ir:/lions tham are today found in many :=ngle Euro pean countries in which only one lan- guage prevails. The twen'yfive or fifty millions of American Indians pos- sessed as many different lanzuages as the billion or more inha! tants of the old world—Dr. A. L. Kroeber, in Pop- ular Science Monthly.

(CLEVER WORK IN IMITATION, | How One Woman Got a New Hat, in | Height of Style, in an Econo- mical Way. An ingenious woman, with the im- | perative need for remodeling her pic- | ture hat in mind, paused before a dis- . play of imported beadgear, and, with | wistful eyes, took in the detail of one fascinating black and white “creation,” which was trimmed with heavy white silk ribbon, woven with very narrow black velvet stripes. Anything even approaching the quality of that ribbon or giving the handsome effect of ft would be quite beyond the small amount which she would be able to srend on the renovating, but an idea came to her as she stood there, and when she returned home she put it into swift execution. In her box of wide ribbon for girdles and sashes was some of heavy white silk, and among her stores she had laid aside several bunches of the narrowest black velvet ribbon, once used for little collar “dangles,” but still in perfectly good condition, needing only to be passed —rpile upward—across a fairly warm flatiron. This velvet ribbon she stitch- ed in exact, even rows aloag the heavy white silk sash-ribbon selected for the purpose, and the desired trimming for a very up-to-date and most becoming chapeau was hers without any ex- penditure whatever. PLUMES NOT YET DISCARDED Despite Rumors to the Contrary, They Are to Be More Used Than In Previous Seasons. While one party declares that feath- ers will not be seen on hats for sum- mer, in the opposite camp the plum- age of the ostrich {8 used in more va- rious ways than ever before. The Prince of Wales plume appears in ev- ery possible guise. On several small turbans seen in a millinery exhibi- tion last week a single long slender feather with the pecullar curve that places it in the Prince of Wales class was caught directly in front on the extreme edge of the brim, and on Jarger hats ther¢ were cocardes form- ed of many small feathers, having the same form. Feather bands are used for bordering hats, especially the tri- cornes, and usually curl over the edge like a thick, soft binding. One wide hat has a little band under the brim— it s hardly more than half an inch wide—formed of short ostrich flues caught over a tape, with both ends se- cured underneath. The ostrich tassels, which made their appearance during the winter, have ceased to he a rarity and are seen in more fanciful shapes than formerly.—New York Tribune. STUNNING BLACK HAT. The newest and best looking sume mer hats all have a rolled or upturn- ed brim, either in front or on the side, and a stunning example of the latter 18 pictured, taken from a model in black picot straw. Its only deco- ration is a rosette of fine white lace placed on the right side where the rolled brim I8 fastened to crown, Novel Handkerchlef Cage. A convenient handkerchief case is made from two yards of 6-Inch ribbon, cotton batting and sachet. The rib- bon should be of two colors or a fig- ured and plain effect. The strips are overcast together to within five inches from the top. The opposite end is turned in to the depth of ten inches and has a layer of the scented cotton slipped between. This double fold is then overcast to the rest of the silk to make a 10-inch pocket, leaving a turnover of an inch of the stitched strip, and the separate points to fold over the pocket like the flap of an en- velope. The separate ends of the ribbon, laid in fine plaits about half way down the end, are cut in a bias line or a point, a8 preferred. These cases are 80 quickly made that they make excellent gifts at any time. For Stout Women, Skirts are still attached to a slightly bigh belt, unless it is better to ac- centuate the waist line for those who are not slim and straight. In a word, to the woman who has increased in welght nothing will be more becoming than the softly draped surplice waist, which cannot be surpassed in grace, and a skirt unbroken in length, 8he can create on this foundation, as her fancy may dictate, a thousand original {deas—panels of lace, bands in lengthwise strips—but always must bear in mind that good results are achieved only when the lines are long and gimple. The best-gowned women recognise this unfailing rule, and cleverly adapt the French designs.—Harper's Basar. e st PAGE v Deep Childish Reasoning.
