At a twentyfrst birthday dinner given in New

White Summer Gowns.
From Good Housekeeping.

From Good House keeping.
The linen laces remain popular for trimming
underwear because Of their durability and genuine
quality. Fine Hamburgs on India lawn and French
nainsook may be bought in patterns which match
in various widths, and are exceedingly convenient
for trimming muslin gowns for commencement
days or for summer afternoon wear. A dress of
sheer white muslin has been too often extoed by
poets and novelests TO receive new praises 1t still
remains the loyeliest dress of q lovely woman far
more beautiful than regal velvet stately broeade
1t is mistake for girl graduates to adopt
white silk surah sheer white woolens in place of
the old-time muslin. The plain, Derectore styles
full plain skirts slightly draped at the back or left
to hang in ful plain breadths and short, round
waists shirred full in front, with tendency to full
sleeves, are the features Of the white afternoon
gowns this season. Grdles or ribbon coming from
the under arm seams of the waist is cream white
pale blue primrose yellow or some fower-like tint
Of color, are frequently feature Of these gowns A
great many dresses have been made up this season
with pyramids of pleating in 'front.' panels of en-
broidery at the sides and full, straight breadths at
the back thus excluding all drapery. Ribbons of
gros-grain in No. II and No. JIG width with plain
satin edge, are preferred for garniture to white
dresses over any ribbon with feather edge or a rib
bin of MORE, except in the narrow widths in which
MORE is uel. Satin ribbons passelfor this pur

Inside the cottage door she sits,
Just where the sunlight, softest there,
slants down on snowy kcrchiefs Lands,
On folded hands and silvered hair.
The garden pale her world shuts in,
A simple world, made sweet with thyme.
Where life, soft lulled by droning b. es,
Flows to the mill-stream's lapsing rhyme.
Poor are her cottage walls, and bare,
Too mean and small to harbor pride,
Yet with musing gaze she sees
Her broad domains extending wide.
Green slopes Of hills, and waving fields,
With blooming hedges set between,
Through shifting walls of tender mist
Smile, half revealed, mingled scene.
All hers-for lovingly she holds
A yellowed packet in her hand,
Whose ancient, faded script proclaims
Her title to this spreading land.
Old letters On the trembling page
Drop, unawares, UNDECIDED tears.
These are her title-deeds; her lands
Spread through the realms of by gone years.
