Bonds of Affection.
There is . strong connection between
the association and the women who are
wives, mothers and sisters. Women
who have sons are always interested IN
all young men aud women who have
daughters should be equally desirlous
of raising the physical and moral
standard. The work is entirely labor
Of love. There il no recompense ex-
ceps satisfaction for duty done and no
return except the peace of serene con-
science. By their efforts indirectly at
least better husbands and sons are
made, and daughters are taught to look
for better morality IN men.

are given by these artists please equally

Much could ba eaid of the theatrical

brought to . close this week. 1t has
been q peculiar year and the public Of
Grand Rapids has shown its wonted
fickleness and sometimes deplorably
bad judgment in selecting attractions
for patronage. Plays and companies
Of long standing have Jared well in
Powers, while the very best of recent
successes were scarcely recognized.
The result has been such that to con-
clude just what the theatrical public of
Grand Rapids want is, indeed, qnes-

another gallant effort to make Powers

pale yellow, little softer than ordinary
yellow, and wrinkled just like the old seer
suckers. Then there were little grey silk
stripes through it that looked like ribbon
sewed on. This is the order of the stripes,
and if you can get material like it think
you will agree with me that you never had
prettier dress. First a broad stripe Of
the crinked gold and q thread stripe of the
grey. Then small stripe of the yellow
and another thread-lke stripe of the grey.
This repeated three times. Then another
one of the real broad gold stripes Then q
half-inch stripe of grey and half inch
stripe OF gold and repeat this five times;
then begin at the beginning and go through
it again. 1t was so soft and so pretty 1
wished that it had been made into dress.
Bnt when some of the pious folks get
home from church and lay of their wraps,
the pretty waists you see then don't always
harmonic with the dark and simple skirts.
For instance, black silk one with fancy
pattern in knots all over it. The vest was
turned back in deep revers into the very
thinnest of points. The waist itself was of
white silk, gathered back and front, and
fastened under a broad full belt. The col
lar was plain, just like the belt, only mar
rover. 1t looked so pretty with the girls
complexion, which was extremely clear,
and with her hair, which was soft, light
brown, and curled in fluff over her head.
She did not look very sanctifed in that
waist though. Do you think 500

deep belt of white silk put on fun. At the
neck were three little ruffles, and there
was one at the top of the sleeves and two
more at the cuff. a spring hat went with
it, of thin, light straw, trimmed with q
fresh spray of roses. The hat had white
strings, and pair of white gloves had been
ordered to complete the outfit.

pretty. 1t was more sombre, but l liked it.

black-with white lines running through it.

Oh, how sad and solemn feel It's the
first day of Lent. and I've just come back
from church and the people there all looked
so mournful and so sorrowful and so OPP
pressed with their load of SIM And they
ali knelt devoutly and closed their eyes. l
think, perhaps, they would have groaned
only 1t would not have been decorous for
these high danes Of fashion to groan. And
peeped, when they all knelt and closed
their eyes, for L wanted to see what they
looked like. And they appeared so funny
and strange. For only last Sunday they
were dressed in the brightest array Of
colors, and there was pink next to fawn,
and yellow next to lavender, and gr, en-
next to grey, and all sorts of bewildering
mixtures. And now, where are the colors
Gone, anyway
Why, was so astonlshed at first that 1
put up my head straight and stared, and
then l remembered quickly and bowed it
again in confusion. But l looked again,
through my fingers this time, at the Puri-
tans. For that is what they were, every
one of them. The brilliant colors were all
gone, and were replaced by the saddest and
most som re of hues. Greys, of course,
dull browns, blacks and very duh old rose
were the colors they wore. he lady that
knelt right in front of me had on a very
pale grey, but the material was run very
closely with a heavy cording OF black, and
so it disguised the light grey very success
fully. The skirt was uuttoned at eac nip.
The lady next to her had on a very dull
brown, also lighl and run with a small
diagonal stripe of darker brown, and at the
bottom of the skirt were two rows of uro wn
velvet to match the stripe.

saw another of two shades of very dull
avn in tiny stripe The edge of this
kirt had narrow and very full feather
sdging, and above it were three narrow
tows of braid to match the darker fawn.
The rows were about an inch apart, and
each one was again edged with very fine
gold cord. The gold was so unobtrusive
that it could hardly trouble the wearer's
conscience to any great extent. But when
we all rose after service and filed out
solemnly, 1 strolled down Fifth avenue and
into an establishment whore there were
some gowns all ready to be worn by fair
deyotee, who had suddenly transferred her

ran large Towering design in shade

Love of children is one OF the strongest
qualities of Mrs. Blaiue's makeup and
children are generally fond of her. She
delights when it is practicable, to have
her house filed with young lives, and at
Bar Harbor she devotes much of her time
to her grandsons, Mccormick Blaine and
the Coppinger boys. In her intimate friend
ships she more often chooses young people
than those Of her own age, as is shown in
her friendship with Mrs. Don Cameron and
Mrs. Hill. Mrs. Senator Frye is one of her
older friends, having known her all her
life and she is one of her warmest and most
ardent admirers.
