FASHIONABLE COLLARS AND BoDICES.
method of producing variety in dress
which does not entail lot of expense
is hailed with delight by the majority
of women And another novel idea
among the many of recent invention is
to have velvet yoke and sleeves, which
may be taken off and put on at will.
With adjustable sleeves, yoke revers
and few silk waists, no end of changes
can be rung on one gown. Most all
bodices are made with round waists
and finished with soft band of silk
fastened with buckle or bow. The
fancy for buckles has developed Won
derfully, and although they have be-
come rather common they are an indis-
pensablo addition to the belts worn with
the shirt waists Grape designs pre-
dominate in all the cotton fabrics, but
glossy, like silk. have made their mp
pearance
The popular lace collars have shaped
themselves into yokes, spread ont into
points and curves on tho sleeves, and
now they seem likely to expand into
capes which will reach to the waist.
A light wraps considered necessary
addition to n summer outfit, and whether
it is needed or not it is the fashion to
have capes. Capes are, as they have
been for some time, the most desirable
garments extant, for, no matter what
proportion the sleeve assumes, the cape
adjusts itself to the required size. Light
transparent black materials, such as silk
muslin. chiffon and net, are used for
some of the more gauzy affairs, which
are we'll named "cool mantles, " for the
element of warmth is entirely lacking
However, they afford all the thickness
that is needed and fulfill their mission
by looking pretty and giving a finishing
touch to the street toilet. The most
fashionable ones arc very short and often
built i'll two or three stories-for in
stance moire foundation will have n
second cape of finely plated chiffon
spangled ut the edge, while the third
cape will be of jettod net or old guipure
lace, with Il full ruchc of ostrich feather
or quilted tulle around the neck.
A very dainty and summary cape is
made of finely plated black chiffon over

HOW TO TEST TIE QUALITY OF SILK.

The Best Plan Is to Try It by Fire when
the Smoke viii Detect Cotton.
The first thing to do is to try to tear
1t, both lengthwisc and croSswise, If it
gives way readily in either direction, he
sure either that the dye has destroyed
the strength or TINT the thread is COM
posed i'll part of what is technically
known as silk waste Pure silk. proper
~ dyed, is tho strongest known fiber.
Next test the firmneSs of weave by
Ecraping diasonally across the fabric
with tho thumb nail If it is durable
md worth buying, the threads will not
slip for any amount of manipulation.
Otherwise the thumb nail will soon
make q space of loose threads rs big as
itself
After that ravcl out hit of the sill
and look carefully Mt the quality of both
warp and woof. The pure silk. unload
cd, is of lively luster and vely soft to
the touch. If the luster has been arti-
ficially produced, the finer feels harsh
ana brittle. If it is silk. but loaded with
metallic dye, the fiber looks like cotton,
but is somewhat softer.
Another test of quality is tn pull out
threads both ways and Try their strength
between your fingers-that is. catch
them with both hands about an inch
apart, give quick outward jerk and
note the force necessary to break them.
Then try to tcnr the silk along the lines
that the threads came out of. II it parts
so difficulty that there are Fuckers along
the tear, it is proof that it will wea'
decently well.
The supreme test of all, though, fol
either weighing or adulteration Of fiber
Is to burn a fragment of the stuff and
also some Rawlings of it If IL is pure
and properly dyed. il will take fire with
difficulty, even when held directly in
tho fame. twill go out almost as soon
as the flame is withdrawn. leaving ashes
that are nearly jet black.
On tho other hand, weighted silk is
almost dangerously infiammable, 1t
takes fire readily, and once burning will
smother through the piece, leaving ashes
that keep the shape Of the cloth and arc
of light yellowish red color. If there is
cotton mixed with the fiber. the smell
Of tho smoke will betray it

For costly flowers, she stated,
In n murmur animated.
Her taste had been quite stated,
And she could not CouutcnanCc

Yes, she liked n gown to fit her,
But she spurnCd extravaganza.
She liked things, oh, SO simple,
And she conjurcd up n dimple
That set my heart II rimple
With a love you'll comp .rehcnd,

On the things that have no end.
With her sweet blue eyes uplifted.
She dcspiscd the maids who shifted
From one man To one moro gifted
With the whcrcwithal to pay,
And She sighed with deep emotion
At these trips across the ocean
Just to humor some girls notion
When twas best ut home to stay.
And in tones that knew no Quelling
She grow eloquent in telling
OF the carved and figured dwelling
That the mod n girl desired.
Such n waste! twas characteristic
OF the sex, so inartiStiC!
And she grew quite sylloGistic
With the theme she had inspired.
Surely, declared. she TESTED,
And, quite deeply interested,
From this maiden requested
4 much more explicit view
OF the Kind OF house she wanted
For with love my heart was haunted
And she said, with face undaunted,
That a plain brownstone would do.

PRESIDENT CLARK. SECRETARY BAER.
Williston church and has ever since
been prominent i'll tho socicty's work,
was vouchsafcd the privilege of being
the first to sign this roll.
1t was not until August, 1881, that
the Christian Endeavor movement ex-
tended beyond the limits of Portland,
but its work there was so interesting
and so efficient rs to attract the atten-
ton of writer for n Boston periodical.
In its columns he told the story of
How Ono Church Takes Caro- of Its
Young People" If 1000 wires had
been laid from Portland in 900 direc-
tons, reaching to the uttErmost parts of
the EARTH and an electrical message
had been sent over each of them, the
result could not have been moro in.
terestin2 or moro instantaneous. Every
where in the largo cities and i'll the
remote ha1nlcts Christian Endcavor
societies began to spring up. BY the
beginning of 1890 there were II, 0l3 So
cietieS with 6G, 900 members. In 1891
there We're rising of 5000 societies,
with more than 200, 900 members; in
1892, IS, 500 societies, with 1,1O0, 900
members; in 1898, between 81, 200 and
%, 600 societies, with nearly 1, 400, 900
members l have not the figures for this
year at hand, but it is stated that the in
crease has gone hravely on and that the
army of Christian Endeavorcrs is larger
and more enthusiastic than ever before.
The nature of the society's aims and
work is too we'll understood by this
time to make it necessary to go into de-
tails regarding it here, for Christian
Endeavor societies arc to be found ev
erywhcre. 1t is probably not too much
to say that it would be difficult to get
100 young people of the better sort to-
gether in many places in the United
States without including some who be-
long to the order. This fact cannot be
parallelcd with regard to any other re-
ligious organization.
More than that, the Christian En-
dcavor society has extended far beyond
tho lines that separate this republic
from tho rest of the world. 1t is to be
found in Canada and in Mexico and
across seas in Europe, under the burning
sun of Africa, by the rushing waters Of
the Ganges and upon the shores of the
China sea- In Brazil and Argentine, in
Cuba and Chile, i'll Australia and New
Zealand in Samoa. in New Guinea, in
practically every land where Christian
ity has made its way at all, there also
has the Christian Endeavor society tax
en- root.
To the Rev. Francis L. Clark, D. D.,
the present president; John Willis Baer,
the general secretary, and William
Shaw. the treasurer, falls the distinction
of being the leading executive officers
of the most extensive and the most we'll
beloved religious organization now in
existence. What its ultimate strength
and influence will amount to no person

given within a very short time OF the first
outbreak and long before smoke or flames

How to Prevent Dust In Carpets.

How TO Prevent Dust In Carpets.
When putting Gown carpets in rooms
that arc much used, it is good plan to
spread newspapers over the floors, then
take clean straw and scatter it evenly
over the papers, and then put your carpet
down. 1t will let tho dust through on
the paper. and clouds of dust will not
follow the broom on sweeping day. The
carpets will last longer with this lining
than with any other, and when you take
them up again you will find the dust
lodged on tho papers, and if carefully
removed to the rubbish pile you will
avoid filling your lungs with poisonous
dust, as but little will be found on
sweeping the floors. In putting down
carpets in spare rooms, where they are
not likely to be taken up very often, it
is an excellent plan to scatter smoking
tobacco over the paper to guard against
moths and the buffalo bug. This is
sure preventive against the attacks of
moths, and carpets may be safely left
down in spare rooms for a number of
years.
