Now you refuse to go, Or won't, or can't Through town and countryside 1 You were my Joy and pride, A happy' day. I loved thy gaudy hue, Thy nice white tires so new. Now you . look hum for true In every way. To thee old rattle box Came many bumps and knocks; For thee I cry. I paid for thee a price, 'T would buy a mansion twice, Now they ar? yelling ice, I wonder why. Badly thy top is worn, Frayed Is thy seat and worn. You poor old pal, Just one short year ago I did not think or know My funds would be so low An they are now, Thy motor has the grip, Thy sparking plug the pip. And woe lie thine, I, too, have suffered ills, Ague and kindred chills, Trying to pay my bills, Since thou were mine. Gone Is my bank roll now, No more 'twould choke a cow. - As once before. Yet. if I had the men, S?> help me Finnigan,# I'd buy a car again And speed some more. II. J. M., In Hornell Tribune. Mr. Hardy Ilendrix caught a deer on his place In a rather unusual man ner.

Now York, Mar. -Quito as Inter cstiii-, at the opening of a season, as the new designs themselves and a thou srtud and one odd little fails which Kushlmi always presents at hor open ings, a re the now materials tn whieh l?? fashion these stunning modes. l.t Is' IllUUtilltig to note to wlui ( an extent sii'go Is still being. used this spring fori suits and ouo*4>loco frocks. It is not an exaggeration to stall' that at loast uliir tenths of the now spring stilts are being ni a<lo of dark I ?luo serni*. "F'ost si ehlo," tho smiling little French von dcUse, will toll you, and you tan road hot w con the words, "and woolen novel ties so seariv." In America it Is the (lye situation which Is affect Wig our win 'Ions, not that we havo us yet foil It t<? any grout degree, hut as time roes on and dyostuffs continue to get more sea ret?, It Is hound to ho felt. Wo inny notice the offtiot this seuftUn In the ?prevalence of black and white checks, stripes and blocks, mid in the popularity -of pale shades In suitings. White cotton and wool mixtures, strip e<l <>r harreil with pale thues of gold, bine, groOn, and thin lines of hlack are unusually, modish. For si>ort wear I here are any number of effective, ma* tertals ; some loose weave plaids with backgrounds of white, pastel broad cloths, barred and plaided In more vivid tones, and some particularly effective hopsacklng in plain colors and plaids which may be used for street suits or s|>ort skirts or coats. ?The new silk suitings, faille, and the numerous other twilled silks, tussahs, gros de Lomlres, and heavier ribbed silks are very much the vogue. These silks are particularly well stilted to the full skirts of the moment, affording the bouffant effect, and lending themselves most effectively to the cordlngs, quill ings, pleatlngs and similar trimmings notions now smart. These silk suitings come in all shades of tan, buff, blue, rose, mauve and gray. Taffetas are being used Considerably for suit purposes too; there are quan tities of plain taffetas being used in combination with bayadere effects, white stripes on black, blue or green I grounds. Checks and stripes are par ticularly smart in taffetas. Pompadour taffetas will be used generally for wraps and the trimming of suits. Light colors will predominate in these suits as in the wool mixtures.. It may be safely said that the silk suit will he the mainstay of spring and early sum mer. There Is no parity of novelties in the hew spring and summer cottons; they are most charming, both in color ing and design. Voile forms the basis of the majority of these fabrics; there are . printed and striped vojles; voll<*< striped and barred with openwork of needlework patterns, and voiles striped and barred with artificial silk. Some of the openwork checked voiles are printed and embroidered with bright colored flowers, oftentimes with quaint, precise, art nouvean figures. Soft white batistes show hairlines of color, and are bordered in plain white, edged with the color; these are the new handkerchief embroidered batistes and are used for lingerie gowns and blouses ' AFTERNOON MUSICAL TEA The home of Dr. and Mrs. Ralph K.
