Yet holds within her heart all gocdly gifts,

Borne down by Clouds yet showing thro their

Some hints Of heavens blue and sunshine q

Ere falls to earth her mantle soft Of snow.
What matters then tho hill and vale are bare?
She clothes them In a dainty garb OF white:
Hangs every shrub with icy jewels rare,
And fills the land with echos of delight
From merry sleighbells and the rhythmic beat,
Upon the frozen road, Of flying feet

With cheerfulness and Joy, and ringing bells.
With dear ones gathered round the hearth of

While thro the land happy chorus swells
Which speaks u nations praise to God above,
In thankfulness for His protecting love.

Fall Clothing Of Children.

Parents should exercise more care
and thOughtfulness in the matter of
dress for their children, if any prefer
ence is to be given, than in that for
themselves, because children cannot be
expected to think and be cautious for
themselves, and they cannot us well
withstand the inclemencies of our
changeable weather as can grown peO-
pie. says the Elkhart Qnd.) Review.
But how many dose? Not all, by any
means. nor as large proportion of
them as should do 50. Any person who
will take the pains to observe children
on the streets will see many of them
thinly clad and with insufficient pretec.
ton for their feet, which is one of the
most important of all matters of
dress. A child will go all
day with wet feet, and day after day
with shoes that furnish no defense
against mud and cold water, and make
no complaint about it. 1t wears what
is furnished for it to wear, and has no
responsibility in the matter, for it has
no voice in it. But there is great re-
sponsibility resting on all who rear
children, and it should be fully realized
and assumed. When this is done, chill
dren are carefully guarded in matters
pertaining to their bodily comfort and
welfare. The season has again arrived

In these days when the women are
giving their minds to the development
Of the intellect, to the elevation Of their
sex in the economy of the world and in
many works Of reform. it is interesting
to find one lady of distinction whose
abilities are directed toward the Guilt
walton Of the art of sewing. The Hon.
Mrs. COlborne is directress of needle
work to the education department of
the English government. In all the
elementary schools of the United King
dom sewing is taught, and once year
the inspectors are required to
examine the pupils in hem sew
ing, telling. knitting, darning. patching
and cutting paper patterns. Speci-
mems Of the work of each pupil are sent
to Mrs. Colborne in London, who has
two assistants and two clerks. Mrs.
Colborne, who was educated in France
and Germany, was left a widow with
one daughter thirteen years ago. Her
means were limited. and five years ago,
having been for some time interested in
the subject Of needlework. she obtained
the position she now holds. Mrs. Col
bOrne's last report shows that in the
twelvemonth to which it referred she
had examined 3.3?s schools, taking
girls schools and infants schools to-
gether, representing no less than l6l,-
1878 specimens of handiwork. Her work
also includes the examination of the
work of over $4,000 pupil teachers. the
candidates for the Queens scholarship
who amounted last year to $500, and
tie acting teachers, who, taking Eng
land and Wales together, are over

Ella Wheeler wilaox's Idea.

An illustration of the manner in
which Ella Wheeler Wilcox adapts
ideas to her needs is the creation of one
of the most charming house gowns she
owns. At the Turkish baths one morn
ing she was struck by the arrangement
of the sheet as pinned on by one of the
attendants. After draping so as to
completely envelope the form the ends
of the sheet were crossed in the back
between the shoulders, then brought
over and pinned, one in front of each
shoulder, leaving pretty square decol-
late neck, with straight Greek drapinG
to the feet. Pausing before mirror
she cried:
''What a charming and effective gown
that would make!'
Within three hours she had her dress.

wearing it. In this case she added a
heavy Greek draping of the goods be-

shoulders and sleeves and beaded
white jersey. 1t was produced later in
gray cashmere with gray beaded jersey
and embroidery. She calls it her
''sheet" gown from its inspiration.
