A GAME IS WORTH THE CANDLE. 1t still there bide within your breast One dream or one illusion, Then wake each day and go your way And live without confusion. 1i still there be one soul you love Without a blame or scandal Then life's a game worth while, my friend, And life is worth the candle. § 1¢ still there be a song you ptlze Soar skyward with the linnet, And though you weave a winding sheet 0 live the while you spin it. 11 still there be a task you love Or tool you like to handle, Then life's a game worth while, my friend, And the game is worth the candle!

LOVE'S WEATHER. When we were young, my Heart, And you had such a wealth of golden hair, I used to deem In young love's blissful dream The golden days most fair. It now that we are old, And on your brow I see those tresses blest All silver gray, ' From gold, I turn away, And deem the gray days best! ‘n there is rain, my Heart, wld the torrents close, and know no fears; ey but repeat The story old and sweet, ioour commingled tears. Al when the clouds come by nd color all my ways with hues of night ir No doubt of woe Are ever mine—I know \When T shall find the light. The forecast of my days I ever find within your dear eyes pent; Regardless sun Or cloud as we are one, My heart, T am content.

The stranger within the gates of- ‘imes remarks that the people of Lakeland are not as cordial when Cne goes to the various churches as " other places. The ladies, however, fi.r.d it embarrassing sometimes, this thing of sudden religious zeal; that % if they haven't made it a regular business. Witness the mistake made “ome time ago by a good woman who Was a regular attendant at a church, *e won't say which. One Sunday morning her pastor Preached an inspiring sermon on the jt_ ject of welcoming the “Stranger | ithin Thy Gates.” He urged upon 'S membership the duty of giving a s rdial greeting to strangers who “appened in at that church. This good woman was much im- sed with his remarks. As she ed around to leave the church, discovered an unfamiliar face in Pew immediately behind her. th a radiant smile she extended " hand, “I'm glad to see you out s morning,” she said. i . V‘Thank ¥ou,” replied the stranger | 77 % 2 merry twinkle in her eyes.

There was an embarrassed silence, and then the good woman turned and started out. It was noticeable that she made no further attempt to greet any stranger that morning. Leave Today for Kentucky. Mrs. W. W. Storts and daughter, Miss Fannie, left at noon today for their home in Louisville, Ky. These ladies always receive a cordial wel- come upon their arrival each fall, and it is with regret that their friends bid them adieu when the warm weather sends them back home. The past four winters they have been delightfully located at the lovely home of Mr. A. D. Boring on South Florida avenue, and they look forward to returning to the Borings with as much pleasure as in return- ing to Lakeland. . Charming Visitor Guests of Mrs. Stevens. Mrs. Vernie Stevens, who has the lower floor of the Mendenhall home, is entertaining as her house guest, Miss Janette \Weathers, a very charming society girl of Ocala. Miss Weathers will be here for about ten days, and is being shown much so- cial attention by the friends of Mrs. Stevens, House Party Goes On Pleasure Jaunt. Mr. and Mrs. \WW. A, Slocum, who are entertaining a house party for several days, went Saturday with their guests to Fort Myers, where they are enjoyine several days' fish- ing.

Episcopal Guild Will Meet Tomorrow Afternoon. The Guild of All Saints’ Episcopal church will meet tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock at the Guild hall. At this meeting the ladies will give the contract for a new roof for church, besides which there will be other business of importance, and a large attendance is very much de- sired. . Friday Musicale. There will be a meeting of the Fri- day Musicale tomorrow evening at Mrs. Fletcher’'s studio for chorus practice. The members are practicing the Rose Maiden diligently, and within a short time will give it at the Herron theater. . & Mrs. Ramsdell Terminates Pleasant Visit Here. Mrs. W. P. Ramsdell, of Tampa, who has been the charming guest of Mrs. Herbert J. Drane at her beau- tiful home, “Hill Crest,” left today for the north, where she goes to spend the summer. While here Mrs. Ramsdell was shown much attention by her many Lakeland friends, quite a number bhaving called Saturday afternoon from 4 to 6, between which hours Mrs. Drane and Mrs. Ramsdell were “at home™ to their friends. LJ kS 5 Automobile Party Enjoys Visit to the Mines. An automobile party went down to Nichols, Mulberry and other points of interest, where they visited the phosphate mines and called on friends. Those in the party were Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Drane, Mrs. W. P. Rams- dell, Miss Drane, Miss Southard and Mr. Ossian Drane. LOWERS are used in such profu- slon and in so great a variety of ways, on all sorts of shapes, that they can hardly be unfashionably placed. But certaln new arrange- ments are popular and very effective on the shapes for which they are in- tended. First of all, those stiff, up- standing and compact branchings, known by the matterof-fact name of “stick-up,” hold first place as good sellers, They are used as a finishing touch with or without other flower trimming. Often a crown is entirely covered with blossoms, clambering over it in the most natural manner, following its outlines exactly, but such & crown {is invariably finished with a “stick-up,” such as those shown in the picture here, or with one made of rib- bon or feathers. Roses, as always, lead all other flowers In demand. The sweet pea follows closely, the lilac and the violet have a great vogue, and large dalsles promise much prominence for midsum. mer. But it is to be remembered that all the flowers that grow (and some that don't) are to be found among the displays which make the millinery shops places of gay and inspiring beauty, Large plcture hats for midsummer show the water llly, with single, lifo- ltke blossoms, set at intervals about the base ot the crown or on the brim. The ox-eyed daisy in white, yellow and sometimes in black, is set flat to brims and crowns, either single blossoms or in groups of two or three. Big single dalsles having each petal outlined with a‘halr line In black make a captivat ing trimming on wide brimmed hats for midsummer, for they possess much PN AP A A A AP AP PP PP PP For Small Girl the ! A smart little dress of cream serge is shown here. It has an empire bod- ico trimmed with three tucks each side; buttons and braided loops trim the inner tuck; the yoke is bralded and edged with a narrow silk frill; lace fills up the space at neck. The skirt is entirely plaited; a thick silk cord hides the jolning of bodice to skirt, Materials required: Three yards serge 46 inches wide, one ‘ozen but- tons, one-half dozen yards bra'd, three- tourths yard cord. New Bags and Purces. Red band bags and pur<c are ex- pected to be extremely ;iular this spring and the shops ehov many va- rieties, both in shape and material. A very popular shape is :n unusually flat envelope with two !z leather straps. The bag is not [xrz~ and js almost square.

One who is clever with | water colors and brush should be able ]to take the plain white or yellow daisy, outline the petals with a thread-llke line of black, and place | these ordinary daughters of the field | among the distinguished and exclusive visitors, They are very fine on lin- gerie hats and on all the big midsum- | mer straws. One thing must be borne in mind in using flowers or any other trimming this season. In all hats the shape's the thing. Outlines must not be ob- literated or lost sight of. Decorations must not Interfere with lines, but eith- er call attention to them, accentuate them, or modestly keep out of thelr way. For this reason we see small, flat bows, little wings, diminutive fancy-feathers posed as If trying to find the most inconspicuous position for themselves. On long, sweeping aigrettes and feathers, as well as flow- ers, placed so as to continue and pro- long the line of the curving brim edge. Either this polse, or the straight and rigid “stick-up,” which appears to be trying to take up as small space as possible, with leaves and blossoms completely drawn together and only broadening out at the top when the outline of the crown has been passed, are stylish, Millinery is gay with flowers. On those street hats without flowers bright colors are provided, in facings and brim coverings of silk, or in bands and ornaments of lace over bright foundations. Primrose and viv- id greens, cerise and gold are the fa- vored colors, JULIA BOTTOMLEY. COLORED FLOWEHS OF SILK |- ‘A-I Designs .nd Colors of These Mil- linery Adornments Seem to Have Found Favor. On girdles and at the fastening of fichus and bodice drapery the slik flower 1s almost ubiquitous. Large roses, wound around hard cotton- | padded centers, are made very suc- cessfully now, Others have their pet- als cut out and bound with narrow | satin ribhon. | The double petal {8 sewed on the wrong side, turned and stitched again | on the edge of the right and gathered | (in at the base, Five or six of these | i make a lovely flower, clustered :uuululé | a center of yellow stamens, bought at | | the millinery counter, { | | | | | There are flowers that are made of round petals and gome of pointed and | oval petals. Pond lilies are e n)u\lm,l great favor; eamellias and gardenias are next; the rose is always In lm;hl popularity. On hats, a single handmade flower of large slze will grace millinery. Clus- ters of them will be used on lace and linen caps for bables, and the little straw bonnets for tiny tots will be Just as highly favored as ever. What Is prettier than a lingerle hat with a colored flower of silk? Not for the Bird Lovers. Many of the feather fashions of this season will be bitterly opposed by the bird lovers, and there are happily many women who have the courage of thelr convictions and who will ignore the decrees of Mme. la Mode gnd trankly show thelr preference for the graceful floral algrettes now being made. Flowers are suggested as a substi- tute for feathers that have been pro- cured by cruelty, but it may not be out of place to point out to the gentle dames who wish to protect bird life that it 1s at least equally their duty to | see that in the modes they are ready | to adopt they are not simply encour- aging the sweatshop evil. Siiken roses | and velvet pansies may entall as great hardships as the algrette or the os prey. Untrimmed Hats. Paris has set its seal of approval on | the untrimmed hat. This noved fashion | 18 illustrated on hats of small size or of plcture dimensions, the only attempt at trimming being a narrow line of velvet which covers the joint between brim and crown. In hats of picture style, carried out in velvet or plush, the no trimming idea is very charming, the draped material, especially the plush, being sufficient trimming in itself. White Monogram.
