TAXING CARE OF GLOVES.

On the way gloves are put on at
their first wearing depends all their
subsequent career. A poor pair of
gloves carefully donned at first and
tenderly treated throughout their ex-
istence will never look very badly.
The most expensive gloves ever made
put on carelessly at first will never
look we'll and will soon wear out.
New gloves should never be put on
in hurry. They should be pressed
and pulled into position in leisurely
fashion. Before beginning operations
little powder should be busted into
the gloves, for this will permit them
to slip on easily. The fingers should
be carefully pulled on, with the seams
straight, before the thumb is inserted
into its pocket. Then the glove
should be smoothed on gradually; the
second button and those above the Sec
ond should then be buttoned. The
first one should always be fastened
last.
When the hands are warm the gloves
should be drawn wrong side out when
they are removed; then they should be
pulled carefully into shape and aired
for an hour or two.-New York Re-
corder,

. AUTUMN WEDDING GOWNS.

Ivory satin of brilliant sheen, SC
long the ideal and traditional fabric
for wedding-dresses, is in greater
favor than ever this season. It is made
up in conjunction with chiffon, or
else with accessories of the new soft
moire called in Paris moire mouille.
Peau de sole of demi-lustre is another
refined fabric for brides gowns, and
requires lace and pearls for its trim.

silks of different grains, such as gros
de Loudres and gros de Tours, that
will make effective dresses.
The blouse or full round waist is
now used even for wedding dresses.
being made of chiffon, or tulle, or OF
lace draped, shirred, or pleated on a
fitted linen. Large gigot sleeves and
the full skirt with three-quarter train
are Of satin, pesu de sole, or repped
silk. A new trimming for the blouse
is the galloon and passementerie OF
strung pearls arranged in brooches
and festoons like old-fashioned Jew
elry. The festooned passementerie is
in rows around the collar and as a
yoke, while the straight-edged gal
loon is length-wise in bands and
braces. Satin ribbon braces over an
accordion-pleated waist Of chiffon are
very effective when tied IN upright
loops on the shoulders, and are mex
pensive. Another trimming for skirt
panels and borders is bands Of white
satin edged with pearl silver, and
crystal beads, aad studded at inter-
walls with rosettes or with fan-pleat-
ings of satin similarly beaded. This
garniture also serves for high collar,
and sometimes for belt, though a
soft belt of satin folds is preferable.

Of iher sweetness, her interest, her
amiability, will stand her in far more
stead that any report of her brilliancy,
her wit, her repartee.
The woman who has all her re-
sources at command, story spropos
for everything, a cutting sarcasm, a
singing jest, a smiling retort, can
pass away the hour for q stupid man !;
but it is doubtful if, when he goes
away, he is not conscious that he has
made poor figure in her society, and
it is tolerably sure that he does not
feel well enough pleased with himself
to be pleased with her. A brilliant
woman may cut a dash at dinner
party, but it is not impossible that
she is hindering some one else from
cutting great dash, and it is no bet
ter for her in the end than if she had
been a little dull. She who Grams for
dinner party, gets up her subjects
with all the information to be had,
and jokes and anecdotes to cores
pond, and then leads the conversation
to them, and sets them all off in fine
feu de joie, makes q great mistake, so
far as it is an attempt for popularity,
even if her information be new and
her mots have all the spontaneity
much of her effort goes for little or
nothing; she would really do better to
hold herself in reserve merely to I'LL

A BRIDE IN BREEcHEs.

London Sketch gives picture of q
curious wedding ceremony which has
been celebrated at Christ Church, un-
der the auspices of the New Zealand
Dress Reform Association. The bride,
Miss Kate Walker, and the bride
groom, Mr.. ]. R. Wilkinson, had al
ready joined hands by publishing a
pamphlet on "Dress Reform and What
1t Implies" The enterprising bride,
like Strephon in "Patience," was
divided into two parts, as it were,
the upper part of her dress consisting
of the conventional brides veil, and
the Lower sinking into modified pair
of breeches. Her costume was of
stone blue bengaine, with vest and
revers of. white silk, embroidered
with gold. She wore beautiful
wreath of jessamine instead of the
timehonored orange blossoms, and
although gloves were discarded love.
ly veil was worn-not, however, over
the face, but thrown back and falling
in long graceful folds over the shoul-
ders.

THE REWARD OF COURTESY.

Mrs. DR.. Talmage, of Brooklyn, was
very much surprised the other day to
receive legacy of $4,000 from an
old woman who was almost stranger.
It seems that the woman came to
Brooklyn about two years ago and
asked Mrs. Talmage fer advice regard
ing medical treatment. The great
preachers wife interested herself in
the case, and regularly visited the
stranger until her death. Since the
announcement of the legacy it has
been discovered that the old woman
had been nearly all her Life a worker
in the New England cotton mills. She
invested her savings proftably, and in
her old age lived comfortably and had
S13, ZOO to leave to one who had been
courteous to her.
This little episode from real life
shows that courtesy pays, and it also
shows how hard working toiler in
an humble sphere may accumulate
competency.
The story is full of lessons that are
worth pondering. Atlanta Constitu-
tion.

HoME.MLDE wARDRoBEs.

Lack of closet room in house is q
fruitful theme fol-. complaint in these
days of contracted space. Architects
there are who are willing to sacrifice
every consideration, not accepting
internal utility, for picturesque out
side effects. ,r .. :.,l .s.1,-.
In such cases recourse must be had
to wardrobes, but as these are expen-
sive the busy fingers of the housewife
must be depended upon to imp.ovise
substitutes. If there is a corner in
the room with sufficient space (some-
times the architect denies us this
small boon), it may be utilized in the
manner herewith described and de-
lineated. .-
Two stripes of wood as long as you
desire and four inches wide by one
inch thick are screwed in the angle Of
the wall about six feet from the floor;
boards are cut off to fit in the corners
and resting on these stripes; this will
form the roof. A brass Or wooden rod
is then run across the front Of this
board from wall to wall and from
which the curtain is suspended by
rings. Cretonne, ,!chintz or printed
cotton will make good list to choose
from and are inexpensive. One may
screw upon the underside of the roof
and on the cleats as many hooks as are
required, and, if desired, shelf may
be introduced about fifteen inches be-
low the roof, and on that attach the
hooks Such an emergency closet will
ofte1 be found great convenience,
and the cost will be triaing. It will
be we'll to stretch piece of muslin or
paper across the upper sides of the
roof to keep out the dust.-New York
Advertiser.

Rice Planting in Japan,

The people were busy putting out
their young rice plants, and the fields
were full of men and women, wearing
their "kasa" and straw coats, oiled
paper, rush mats or other contrivances
to keep off the raia, and working in
mud and water half way up to their
knees. 1t is surely the dirtiest and
most laborious form OF agriculture /;
the work is almost entirely done by
manual labor with spade and q
heavy four.pronged rake, though oc-
casionally y saw cow OF pony, with a
little matched roof on its back to
shoot off the rain, dragging sort Of
harrow through the mud. As soon as
the spring crop of barley or rape-seed
is garnered and hung up to dry, the
ground is trenched with the spade,
and water is turned over it until it
has become a soft slush, which is
worked level with the rake. The young
rice plants, grown thick together in
nursery patches, are pulled up when
the fields are ready for planting, their
roots ale washed and they are tied in
bundles, which are thrown into the
mud and water; then the men and
women wade in, unite a bundle and
set the seedlings in lines by just press
ing them with their fingers into the
mud They do this wonderfully
quickly, and can plant eight or nine
in row without moving from their
places; when the field is all planted
it looks like a pond with delicate
green haze over it. The dividing banks
are planted with beans or other vege-
tables, SO that not yard of ground Is
wasted. This was the 18th of June,
the damp, clammy heat Of the 'dew
month" just beginning period very
encouraging to all vegetation, but full
of discomforts for the traveller, and
especially for the landscape painter.

SUNDAY A RELIGIOUS DAY.

It true the first day of!the week is o re-
hgious day, as 1t is day Of rest. and OF ele-
waited social enjoyment. The whole history
of the Sabbath from the beginning shows 1t
to have been intended by its Founder to be a
day for the care of the soul while the body
was resting, day to be devoted to worship
and acts of service to God and humanity.
The Christian Sabbath is the commemora-
ton of the rising of Christ from the dead,
and OF course He ought to have q prominence
In the mind on that day-as much as Wash
ington has when we celebrate his birthday.
Such an observance Of the day in public
worship and privite thought and devotion
will not interfere with rest, or with keen
enjoyment Of family and kind red.
Sunday breaks into the busy week with its
uuietness and leisure, as If on purpose to in
cline US to think On our relations TO Goa ana
the other life, and make that preparation
which Is necessary for higher and nobler
state.
II Christ rose on Sunday, host Of ques.
tions gather around this event to every
thoughtful mind. Why did He leave heaven
for earthf What was his character?-What
did he say and do? Why did he die? Where
Is he now? Have any obligations to him?
What are my relations to him!
II he is O saviour has he saved me? Will
he save me? How can secure salvation?
II saved, how can show my gratitude? How
can serve him?
The Bible is the best book for Sunday
No book so stirs the intellect, or powerfully
addresses the heart. 1t is the great source OF
knowledge on what pertains to the soul and
its destinies. It Is an unfailing story book
for the children. They never tire Of its delight
full narratives.
The religious observance of Sunday is In.
timately connected with intelligence and
good morals in the individual and in society.
Far distant be the time when its hallowed
light shall cease to draw our Thoughts to the
spiritual and unseen. Sad will be the day
when it Is turned aside from its legitimate
and heaven-born uses.

RELIGION FOR YOUNG MEN.

Shall speak Of the beauty Of holiness IN
youth? I fancy that young men are, most Of
all, inclined to feel shy Of the whole thing {;
to some it savors Of grave restrictions, to
others of q sort of cant. All very proper
for divinity student. but for. a young man
looking forward to the common work and
pleasure of the world, and rejoicing in yig-
orous life-ah, wait. awhile! And yet 1t Is
that very life Of vigorous youth-youth with
its keen sense Of life; youth brave and skill
full in manly sport; youth just entering on
the s.rong work and strong temptations
of the world-it is In just such life
that earnest, unaffected Righteousness
brings the very finest grace of real
manhood. It would not make him
weak. but gentle and helpful with his
strength it would not lessen pleasure, but
keep it sweet and wholesome; the very mer-
riest laugh that comes ringing to me through
the halls OF memory is that Of one of my
early friends who always seemed to me the
most like Christ of all I ever knew. Re
ligion-earnest unashamed religion--does
not make young man less brave but more,
adding to more nerve and pluck that finer
courage which can stand up squarely against
wrong, say "No!" to profanity and dissipa-
tion, and say it so as to be respected. And
80, to the whole opening life. re igion gives a
richer zest, finer appreciation OF all thing
great and good, and that interest in higher
things which keeps bringing to the front the
strong and helpful men OF each new genera
tion.-Rev. Brooke Herford.

History of the Pen.

The first pens were made of bronze,
steel and iron sharp pointed like a
bodkin. These were used in produc-
ing hieroglyphics on stone in Assyrla
and other Eastern countries. Then
came the camel's hair pencil for paint
ing on the skins of animals, and next
the stylus of bone, ivory or metal
But parchment and papyrus became
known, and the reed pen was invented.
Time rolled on and it WAS discovered
that the quill was better than the
reed, and 1t came into universal use,
and continued so until far into the
present century. Silver, horn, tor
toise she'll and glass came along only
to give way to steel, until in 1920 a
gross of the latter pens was made In
Birmingham and sold at wholesale for
s36. The best gold pens are made In
tho United States. Hardware.

Silk bouillone crepons are both

Olive, grass and chysoprase green

Taffetas in faint vanishing hues,
with pattern of faded rose or yellow,
are lovely by gaslight.
The new colors are soft and beauti-

Ice silk crepes are shown in pale

The wheel collar, which is round

Ivory, beige, wood color and pale
browns are the leading tints for the
demi-saison toilettes that intervene

The redish amethysts, hyacinth and
royal mauves, with the more delicate

When Christian Gillert lay on his death
bed at Leipsic, in great agony he said to one
beside him. II cannot understand much now.
Only let me hear you pronounce the name Of
the Redeemer: the very mention of Him nev-
er fails to inspire me with fresh courage and
JOY" In the paroxysms of pain he was thus
inspired with courage to bear up. for he knew
Christ as a sufferer, suffering and dying for
men, yet patient and uncom planning. Those
who are called to visit the suffering believer
may thus speak thename of Jesus. and soothe
and strengthen by single word. where long
er discourse is tiresome If not impossible
