and scarcely particular style. The
stocking, of course, still matches either
the gown or the boot, generally the
latter. 1t will probably not be long

used in the walls of the worlds fair

fair was d thin plate of gold handsome

OKE hundred and twenty car loads of

There is also the checker-board. black
and white, pattern.
Of course all the light-colored silks,
ribbed Or embroidered, are worn where
the gown and the boot are of the same
shade. The isles. too, in the lighter
colors or in black, look very pretty.
A brilliant grass green promises to
be very popular this summer, as well
as the violet that has bloomed all
winter.
The tie is not quite SO popular as it
was. The knowledge is gradually
spreading of the weakened ankle, the
enlargement OF the foot, which re-.
suits from the continued wearing of
the tie; and therefore for ordinary
summer wear, for travelling and for
outings the tan laced boot, of blucher
cut, is generally worn. But there are
occasions upon which the tie must be
brought forth--to make our costume
complete in its airiless and dainti-
ness The most extravagart OF wom-
0nkind are not content with less than
a pair for every costume, matching the
hue Of the gown exactly in satin or
kid But the less exacting strive to be
content with one or two pairs that will
not look amiss with any light gown.
One white pair and one tan are very
satisfactory. Or a red might be added.

Our fancy for white has returned to
US again. Although we are SO tickle in
our devotion to the various colors,
there is one season of the year when
the thoughts of almost all women turn
lovingly to the cool, pure spotlessness
of white. When the sun has blinded
us with it's continual glare, when the
heat has ruffled our tenpers and made
us feel so uncomfortabl and irrita BILE,
we feel that there is but one relief for
all our distemper and discomfort.
The relief consists in DOMINIC the cool
est, sheerest white gown that we can
lay our hands upon. But We go further
than this; we feel that the sight OF
other color anywhere upon us would be
unbearable. And we proceed to add
white stockings, white shoes or ties,
white gloves, fan, parasol and hat. 1t
is delightful to be SO clad; even though

A Mothers Way.

When the Rev. Horace Bushnell was
boy, he was very DESTROYS of knowing
something about music. No one in the
family could teach him, however. and
his mother, with that divine patience
and insight which belong to mothers In
general. found that if the lad was to
have his wish at all it must be through
her. She obtained book and soon
taught him all she knew-the scale, the
keynote and how to find it. and the time
Of the notes.
This was only ''book learning" how
ever, and the question was to adapt it
to the use of the voice. Little Horace
wanted to sing by note, and that his
mother could not teach him. She could
sing by ear, however, and the two hit
upon species of reverse process. The
mother sang familiar tunes, and the boy
watched the notes, observing how the
intervals and time ran along, and, as he
expressed it. ''soon began almost to sing
with u.s."
And from singing airs they knew into
notes that bore no meaning they finally
learned to sing airs they did not know
out of similar notation. The method
had been unlocked, and further progress
was easy. The mothers heart had found
out the way.-Youth's Companion.
