each ribbon is some trinket, which acts
as prize. These souvenirs may be as
costly or expensive as one pleases, but
unless the cobweb party is to be very
elaborate affair in every respect it is in
better taste to let the prizes consist of a
collection Of very simple trifles. Japa-
nese dolls, sachets Of rice paper, cum
ming bonbonnieres-in fact, any knick-
knack-may be selected for this purpose.
The lengths of ribbon or yarn, each
with its prize securely fastened to the
end, are carried in and out Of one an
other, forming one grand tangle, the
ends being secreted behind bookcases,
cabinets, sofas, chairs, tables, in cup
boards, beneath drapery, back Of cur
tains, portieres and in every conceiv-
able nook. The fun begins with the
endeavors of the guests to untangle the
cobweb by searching out clew which
will lead to the discovery Of hidden
prize. This requires patience and perse-
veronce, and those who hasten their
efforts to secure the coveted prize are
generally more hopelessly confused by
the web" than their slower working
companions.
Finally the bright bits Of ribbon are
all traced to their hiding places, and
the lucky person who has successfully
captured the greatest number Of prizes
receives one general souvenir. This may
be, for lady, dainty bureau sachet,
with a spiders web embroidered across
one corner. For gentleman a spider
scarfpin is appropriate.
The "booby" prize is awarded to the
discoverer of the fewest number of
prizes. A great big papier mache spider,
such as can be picked up at any Japanese
store, fits in nicely as a souvenir.

How to Wash Embroideries.

There is only one way to wash en-
broidered linens. A suds of warm but
not hot water and CASTLE soap should be
made. The piece should be rubbed with
the hands, but never on the board. Nei-
Their should soap be rubbed on it. When
it has been well washed in the suds, il
should be thrown into clear water Of the
same temperature, well washed in that
and then rinsed in cold water. 1t should
not be allowed to lie in any water for
minute longer than necessary. 1t
should be dried indoors, as sun and air
fade the silks. When it has been thor
oughly dried, it should be spread face
downward on a piece Of soft white fan
mel, damped with sponge and ironed
with hot iron until perfectly dry.

Lace Nantes.

The mantle Of long ago is to fall up
on our shoulders, and lace is to be the
idol Of our summer hours. OF course
you must understand it is the mantle Of
our mothers with difference. We
really could teach our mothers-and our
grandmothers, too, for that matter, al
though the mere suggestion would be
irreverent-how to make a lace cape.
They wore them in full folds, which
concealed the figure. We wear them SO
that through the dainty meshes Of the
lace you may catch glimpse Of trim
waist sloping shoulder, well turned
throat. At least this is the way we
wear them if we are wise women.
It is eminently pleasing in these days,
when the tailor made tweed, the manly
waistcoat and the shirt and tie do so
much to transform woman into a SEM
blance Of man, to find the established
popularity of the dainty lace, whose ev-
cry thread is SO conclusively marked
feminine.

Fashion Echoes.

Graceful sashes are made by double
band of ribbon passed around the waist
and fastened at the back beneath two
rosettes, with long ends reaching to the
hem.
Belts of some description are an in
dispensable article of summer attire,
and they may be of ribbon, velvet or
leather
Chatelaines hung with all sorts of
jingling trinkets, such as miniature
TASKS. salt bottles, seals and pencils, are
to be worn again.
Bridesmaids dresses of sheer plain
muslin, made over silk and trimmed
with lace insertion put in perpendicu-
larly and deep frillings of lace, are
pretty. With these are worn large
girlish straw hats. Another fancy is to
have the bridesmaids wear different
colors.
The seams in the skirts of cloth and
serge gowns are stitched once or twice
on each side, making two or four rows
of stitching.
In order of popularity grenadine
comes next to crepon for dressy dresses,
and there is as much variety as there il
in crepon.

ONE OF THE NEW SAILOR HATS.

by the sterner sex. There are very few
faces to which this style of hat is be-
coming, on account of the narrowness
Of the brim. A woman with thin
face cannot wear it; neither can one
with very full face. There are faces
for which this natty hat just seems to
be made, and when worn by such a
woman it is quite stunning. Still an
other shape Of the so called sailor
hat is the one slightly rolled at the
brim and trimmed either with a plain
band or a knot of soft ribbon at the
SIDE All Of these hats are worn in diff
ferent colors, but white and dark blue
seem most in favor

bons of the desired color brought
through buttonholed Sits down the
skirt, terminating in loose ends at the
bottom, while the coat collar is treated
in the same manner. II the inner vest
of serge is not desired, white silk
shirt waist may be worn instead.
Evening dresses are as much in demand
In summer as the more useful dresses for
outdoor use. And very dainty one,
suitable for a young girl, is simply
kximmed with ruff1es of the same. A
FOLDED belt and two rosettes of ribbon
hre the only trimming, except the ruff
6es. This is pretty style for white silk
muslin made over color.

Sailor Hats This Season.

The sailor hat made its appearance
very early this season. In other years
there has been but one reigning shape.
Now, says writer in the New York
Herald, there are three or four.
There is one that has a very pro-
nounced high crown and rather mar
row brim, which may be seen any day
on the street, at the races and out on
the drive, worn by dashing looking
women with jaunty tailor made suits.
This hat closely resembles those worn

THE coBweB PARTY.
A Novel Function In Which Young and Old
May Participate With Pleasure.

A pleasant fad in entertaining that is
going the rounds among hospitable cir
cles is tho oobweb party. 1t provides
for both grownups and
Juveniles. The hostess in providing for
her entertainment secures as many yards
of narrow ribbon or colored worsted
yarn as she expects guests. The threads
are not necessarily OF the same length,
but vary according to the fancy of the
manipulation. Fastened to the end of

Silk or velvet may be used in the same
manner or cut into the shape of jacket
If preferred. This is satisfactory way
TO renovate an old waist.
Plain skirts and those which are mar
rowly trimmed prevail over the more
elaborate ones. The latest skirt is 6
yards around the bottom if the mate
rial is silk or any thin stuff. It is cut
like a bell skirt in front and at the
sides, while at the back there are three
breadths Of silk, with additional width
given to each one at the bottom by sew
ling on cores. These are slop0d off quite
out in round folds from the waist by
the means of a stiff interlining. To in
sure an even appearance around the
edge the breadths have to be cut in seal
aops Draperies are very chary about
asserting their disadvantages, for they
haven't many points of recommendation
and are still in the minority. If one
combination Of color can be more fash
fonable than another, it is black and
white.
For tennis, yachting and outdoor
sports nothing yet invented quite takes
the place of serge for these gowns, but
the spirit of decoration has invaded this
variety of dress. Colored and white
linens are used for these costumes, and
This season they are combined with serge
in one suit. A white linen coat called
rsGarcon a Cafe" barely reaches to the
waist. This is worn over white serge
skirt and bright colored blouse. Silk
muslin waists, made over silk lining,
are also considered suitable for yacht
ing.
A pretty idea for decorating gown
with the yachting club colors consists
OF a coat and skirt threaded with rib

REVIVAL MEETING
At the Second Baptist Church Still in

The revival meetings are still in
progress at the Second Baptist
church. Surely the Lord is reward
ing the earnest labor Of his children.
Don't fail to do what you can for
His cause. Man are yet without
hope and without God in the world
except a man be born again he
cannot see the kingdom Of God. >
John 3:3.
The kingdom of God is not
meat and drink; bat righteousness,
and peace, and Joy in the Holy
Ghost. Rom. l4:l7.
"Ihe love of God is shed abroad
in our hearts by the Holy Gnost
which is givea unto us. Rom.
5:5.
Draw nigh to God, and he will
draw nigh to you. Cleanse your
hands, ye sinners, and purify your
hearts, ye doubleminded. Be af.

The Lord is graciously fulfilling
the above scripture in our meetings.
The proud, rebellous sinner is
humbled. The weight of sin is
rolled on his heart. The soul cries
to God; the burdened heart is made
to rejoice in the Holy Ghost. That
mans religion is certainly defective
if his soul has not experienced the
things spoken of In the above
Scriptures. Ministers of God, don't
"fail to emphasize the thought of
Holy Ghost religion" Said one W no
had been received into certain
church, that she liked that church
because it allowed its members to
dance. May God pity such a SO.
called church. Says the word of
God, She that liveth in pleasure is
dead while she liveth." We dom,
want dancing members. They are
dead weights to the church. Thank

Gambling Frauds.

"There are" said a we'll known
lawyer, several nickel-in-the-slot
devices in the city by which your
nickel has a chance of winning
three nickels, open cash drawer,
or give you specified number Of
cigars. This is simply lottery in
disguise, and is as much gambling
as faro, chuck-a.luck, dice or any
kindred games. They are as much
an infringement of law, and,
though nothing has been done by
the officers at present, / shall not
be surprised il they sweep down
upon those who exhibit these ma
chimes and prosecute them accord
ing to law. And they should do
so, for many Of these machines are
deliberate frauds, timed to work
with mechanical accuracy to give
at least ten chances to one against
those who invest their nickles.
