Others are who dull and heavy to the end of the ch ter The trouble, though, with the coquette that often she fails to define the eties k the line of demar- n. She carries her coquetries too far ad of pleasing, they become and meantn matter to win the re of men whom ret impossit impress the one man for whom would barter every joy on earth and ev: hope of heaven; but when she does suc- ceed in winning the love of the man she wants she realizes that it far easier to win him in the beginning than he end w reserve his love A woman can in the majority of cases w man s ets out to conquer, provided always that he be not in love wit other woman.

A woman to retal after marriage must the coquette that will keep her interesting. The woman who sinks into the dull heaviness of the commonplace will never be able to retain her hold on any man's the love of a man ave a little dash of fancy. A man cannot stand boredom or sa- tiety. The woman who bores him he will tire of at a rapid gait. The woman who loves too effusively is equally tiresome. There must be a happy medium in love as well as in other emotions to keep up the illu- sion, and illusions, delusions and allusions in love are the triumvirate that destroy one another. The fllusion becomes delu- sive, the delusion more o0, and the mat- rimonial knot gets a few kinks that upset the running gear. The woman with just the right dash of coquetry, who is shrewd enough to be al- ways entertaining, who coquettes with her husband as she did with her lover, will be at least interesting. She will keep the poor dear man guessing whether or not she loves him, and his very anxiety to make sure will insure more loverlike attentions. When & woman sinks into the common- place, then it is that she sounds the knell of her matrimonial venture. The woman who loses Interest in her personal appear- ance should not blame her husband if he, too, loses Interest in her. The co- quettish woman is too anxious to please to plead gullty in this regard. A man is very selfish in his love. He falls in love with the girl who pleases his eve totally regardless of her mental or more lasting qualities, and when she no longer pleases him then his love is on the wane, It women would only remember this homely trulsm, and seek to make them- selves attractive, rather than induige in continuous kill-joy performance, with its querulous carpings and complaints, more love knots would be found blazing in the matrimonial fuel. A man wants to be entertained, and a silly, frivolous, fiirtatious, pretty little woman can keep him busy where the matter-of-fact, precise, goody-goody prig would bore him to drink. A real coquettish woman has a fleld all to herself. Hubby will be too busy watch- ing her and making sure that she will L3S not have a chance to flirt witn any other cupled means retaining his allegiance—a fellow that she can smile in her cuffs, real sport—but at the same time dead easy knowing that keeping him busy and oc- game. COLONEL KATE. GILONEL [TT BYPER Talking Talky Talk in English “When the English tongue we speak ‘Why is ‘break’ not rhymed with ‘freak?" Will you tell me why it's true We say ‘sew,’ but likewise ‘few;’ And the maker of a verse Cannot cap his ‘horse’ with ‘worse?” ‘Cord’ is different from ‘word;’ ‘Beard’ sounds not the same as ‘heard.’ ‘Cow’ is cow, but ‘low’ s low; ‘Shoe’ is never rhymed with ‘foe.” Think of ‘hose’ and ‘dose’ and ‘lose;’ And of ‘goose’—and yet of ‘choose.” Think of ‘comb’ and ‘tomb’ and ‘bomb;" ‘Doll’ and ‘roll;” and ‘home’ and ‘some.’ And since ‘pay’ is rhymed with ‘say,’ ‘Why not ‘pald’ with ‘said,’ I pray? We have ‘blood’ and ‘food” and ‘good;" ‘Mould’ is not pronounced like ‘could.” ‘Wherefore ‘done,’ but ‘gone’ and ‘lone? Is there any reason known? And, in short, it seems to me Sound and letters disagree.” NN \ \( 72 FLIFT DAY GE RO N\ Just Think, $700 INGING canaries of the very first % ; for a Tiny Golden Lizard Canary R ustly every year. Over $70 was paid for a golden lizard canary in London the other day. This breed has a rare and beautiful whistle and has thus always been in great de- mand. Yet, despite its popularity, the golden lizard, which has always been dif- ficult to obtain, is on the verge of extinc- tion, so that coliectors have been seek- ing everywhere for specimens and are willing to pay almost any price for good ones. From $250 to $500 is the usual price for good specimens, and only a few very im- rfect birds are o be obtained for $% to Compared to the aristocratic golden liz- ard the English Lancashire plainhead, price $50, is quite a plebeian, as is also the pretty Lancashire coppy. a canary of handsome shape, marked $25. The prices tor other kiids of song birds are almost equally high. In a well-known London shop two rare linnet bullfinches pipe beside a goldfinch. The price for the trio is $800. Parrakeets and lorikeets, waxbills, man- nikins, combassous, budgerigars and pied albines camnot raise a fancy priced ex- ample among them. In the shop visited, however, by the writer, was a hen parra- keet worth $0 and a pair of fire finches brought the same money, while a two- year-old greenfinch was listed at $75, .a vellow-feathered sparrow at 15 and a white sparrow at $6 50. Certain Australian birds bring high prices among collectors. A cage of three —a masked wood swallow, a white-eyed wood swallow and a kingfisher—represent- ed $250. But where does the 15-cent canary comu in? He sings fairly well, it is true, but he lacks those prize-winning points which are detected in the piping of the $500 spec- imen. His plumage and shape, too, are inferior. But it is a question whether you will hear in the future really good sing- €rs among the commoner-priced songsters. SpUCcH W.o I F2IO TER FOWEFS. Ladies, if You Would Have Your Hat in the Ultra Fashion, Read Y the same tokem which governs all forecasts of fashions It is learned that the hat of the sum- mer will be rather inclined to oddity in matter of shape at least. Instead of turning up in the conventional Gainsborough manner, or turning down in the helmet style, it turns up In a new way all its own; or else it turns down In & random fashion that stamps the style as new. It is lkely that in August they will wear the flat hat, the very same hat which enchanted our grandfathers in the 1860 days, and they will wear the same streamers and the same bew ng lttle wreath of flowers. But the hat will be worn in a different way and in a different place. Instead of being set flatly upon the head it be tilted and In many instances it will be placed squarely upon one ear, right on the side of the head, gt g a wonderful chic to the coiffure. And the coiffure will be a part of the hat, for it and there will be, most 1} ing down at one side of it to make it the more pronounced in its style. The 1860 hat, if not I of the head, will be tiited b: eomething like a poke it its wide brim and scooplike Set far back upon the head the off the face hat makes a style all its own and one that is pretty and becoming if one i young and fair, The French are not much given to wear- ing the hat which comes down over t face. They prefer to make an elaborate coiffure, and then to display it. They want it to be seen and they place the bat far enough back to Ins this result. This accounts in a way for the chie French hat. The hat that is set back has a chic look, no matter how plain it may be; and If to it there is given a touch of French art !n the way of a curve to the brim, then the hat is sure of be- ing much more chic than it could have otherwise have hoped to be. To keep the hat on, the French women wear very long hat pins, g0 long that acel- dents frequently occur, and an eye poked out unintentionally The hat scheme, as far as the color is concerned, is one upon which the mov- ing spirits In the world of fashion have long been busy. To have a hat of the right color s half the battle, they affirm: and to have it of the wrong colc to completely ruin it. On the selection of the color almost every- thing depends, and the milliner studies her eolor book as reli sly as she stud- fes her prayer book. In the color book—for no amateur mil- liner can afford to be without one—are all the new tones; and she goes to it when in doubt what to use upon a hat. From the shades ts the right tones to be used, and then all that pe- mains Is the choice of the right material and the proper use of it upon the hat. The safe s:ile, all profession is to choose b'ack or to cho: to let all the color lie in the trim The all black hat Is worn b ple all the year rov 1 will be elabo: he sele certainly has its a summer the hat that of rose upon it, or a or a veiling of gree: The all-white hat Is open jection, for it can be worn evenings im the winter and day and evening in the summer. It is the most g lly se vieeable of all hats, and not hesitate to invest-in it A hat that certainly vies, in the opin- fon of all miiliners, with tha all-black bat, or the all-white hat, Is the hat that is all of one color. The all-red hat is very good; so also is the all-green hat, while there is a positive craze for the hat of deep red In the shade known as auto- mcbile red. For summer time the amber shades are good with a whole hat of amber; and In the ecru straw and ecru trimmings there should be no difficulty in picking out something which will make a nice, ser- viceable hat. If possible. the hat should match three or four s , as there is & great saving thereby. In hat noveities there are hats trimmed with buttons, Button molds covered with Carnegie plaid silk are set around the brim of a rolling hat. True, the hat ls an outing hat; but the trimming is novel and becoming. There are button melds that are as large as butter dishes, and these are covered with white taffeta and used to lift the brim of a white left golf hat. The sunbonnet will be seen this sum- mer, but it is a thing that Is worn more, or course, as a fad than as a dressy hat. There are some of the most charming sunbonnets, trimmed with lace and flow- ers, and these are meant for garden par- ties and for wear when cne i3 going out in a very simple summer dress. But one would not wear a sunbonnet upon the boardwalk at the seashure, mor yet-at a formal garden party. Among the new hats one sees many novelties . One of the prettiest of hats is trimmed with one immense rhinestone button, which is its only trimming, the hat being a self-trimmed one of straw. But the button pulls out and, when re= moved, it is found to be a long hatpin.
