\ The Easter Trifle. 
A A LITTLE gift sent from one friend 
to another at Christmas, or on 
_ birthdays or anniversaries is a goodly 
‘custom. The little Easter gift is par- 
ticularly pleasant among friends and 
holds something of intimacy that 1 
Christmas gift lacks. “It is the time 
of year when lilies bloom,” and the 
great out-of-doors, as well as the hot- 
houses, offers the rarest of all things, 
a perfect eat. — A lovely ‘plant or 
beautiful flowers will carry a delight- 
- ful message of friendship in a charin- 
ing way and will not fail to receive 
the appreciation due the sender’s 
thoughtfulness. 
There are other things in the shops, 
trifles that serve as excellent remind- 
ers of friendship. If it is for your 
daughter or sister, or mayhap not a 
gift, but for vourself, why not get a 
Btieestatie li she is wearing her 
last season’s suit why not brighten it 
with a scarf of the vivid orange, rose 
and green shades that are so smart? 
If she has a new suit, what is more 
appropriate than a scarf to match the 
trimming of the jacket or the flower 
On her hat? These gay scarfs come 
in the solid colors or in stripes and 
are very pretty and springlike. They 
are being much worn in this, the early 
season. Excellent silk scarfs may be 
bought for $7.50. 
Collars mean so much in the ward- 
fobe Of a girl, often quite trans- 
forming the just a little shabby 
frock or blouse. And they are so 
good looking in themselves this year 
that they are a temptation as they lie 
in their sheltered cases. Crepe de

recipient?

long collars that make up in length 
down the back what they lack in 
width across the shoulders. These 
are delightful in colors used with a 
wider under collar of white. Another 
style of collar that every woman will 
like for its adaptability and freshness 
is the flat, round organdie collar. It 
is very large, a development of the 
Quaker collar that has been worn 
somewhat this winter, and has tri- 
angular, plaited inserts of the same 
material. Collars such as either of 
the two styles mentioned above, may 
be bought at from $1.00 to $5.00. 
If “she” has a favorite color—ana 
of course she has—one can always 
give her a handkerchief. The little 
silk ones are the daintiest affairs 1m- 
aginable and with colored borders or 
colored patterns are quite distinctive. 
Some of them have a border of, let 
us say, lavender and wee initials em- 
broidered in lavender on the white 
center. Such a gift is within the 
reach of the most moderate purse, 
costing from 25 cents upwards; most- 
ly upwards, it must be confessed. 
The Matinee Bag. 
ANOTHER very delightful trifle 
for Miss Vanity is the tiny mat- 
inee bag that has come to grace the 
smart shops for a very little while. 
We feel sure that it is not long to 
waste its sweetness there because any 
girl or any indulgent parent will long 
to buy it. hie. too, comes in the 
favorite shades, blue, green, lavender 
and pink. It is a small satin affair, 
all gold lace and wee rose-buds on 
the outside and all cunning shirred 
pockets on the inside. In the poc- 
kets are a powder box and a salts 
bottle with enamel tops to match the 
bag. The mirror forms the bottom 
of the bag. This exquisite, little gift 
is priced at $8.50. 
And speaking of the fittings of the 
matinee bag reminds us that there

enamel that will never come amiss. 
There is a frozen perfume bottle with

enamel trifle that offers a splendid 
opportunity for giving is the new 
enamel perfume ball. There are in 
this, too. ‘various. colorsy and» sizes, 
but in our humble estimation, the blue 
or the flowered proved the most at- 
tractive. These enamel balls are 
filled, in the more expensive styles, 
with frozen perfume of any preferred 
variety: in the less expensive, sponges 
which may be dipped in the owner’s 
own perfume. These range in price 
from $4.50 to $6.65. 
THE PurplkE PENNANT. 
Tine statest’ volume.-ot the Purple 
Pennant series by Ralph Henry Bar- 
bour of Manchester is a dashing, 
snappy story of school boy’s life. 
“The Purple Pennant,” which is the 
title of the newest work in the series, 
has that same element of interest in 
it boretie tives boys that all oi Mr, 
Barbour’s books have. It tells the 
story of a lagging interest 1n athletics 
at Clearfield High School and of the 
methods used in stimulating interest 
in the school’s track team. The girls 
of the school make a purple pennant 
as a trophy for the winning team of 
the athletic mect.c- 7 number of stir- 
ring events lead up to a climax in 
which the track meet is the central 
event. It is the same “clean-sport,” 
clever, interesting boy’s tale which 
thousands of youths delight in~ and 
which makes Mr. Barbour’s works so 
popular with boys.
