Materials Usually Worn by Girls OF Three

White wash materials, plain, striped

colored embroidery, the patented frill-
ing or cotton lace, rs torchon or
Valenciennes, are worn by children
Of three to twelve years. 1t is no
longer customary to wear aprons at
all times and places in lieu Of dresses
or to hide shabby frock. Now they
are worn by city children only while
at play, or during the morning hours,
though country lassies still wear them
to school, which is sensible plan that
should never have fallen into disuse

don't wear them" At some of the
large boarding schools aprons of black
silk or white wash goods are insisted

nentcst materials for black silk aprons
intended to be worn by school girls,
and consist of gorcd front and sides,
with n belt and ribbon strings, one

tire edge. Others will have row Of

Bride Your Tongues, Girls.

1t is pity that girls who are dis
posed to be witty at the expense Of
others do not know how unattractive
they make themselves, and how often
they offend against good taste. A
smart girl sometimes says unkind and
untrue things about her comrades, and
thinks it all right when those to whom
she says them laugh at them. Don't
be deceived, girls. Two or three sharp
and uncharitable speeches may warn
your best conquests off the premises Of
your heart though that heart may be
kind and true and loyal, and, put upon
its mettlc, would disown the acrid ut
terances of that thoughtless little
tongue of yours. Cutting speeches do
not pay in the end. They cause q
laugh, perhaps, but leave bitter MEM
ory. And they arc not always true.
Don't be funny ut the expense OF truth,
of charity, of good breeding.

PROF. ELIHu THOMPSON, in lecture
on "Cosmical Electricity" suggests tho
idea that temporary or shooting stars,

JACkY'S LITTLE MISTAKE.
This Tale his Friends Call the True
story OF the Flood.

This Tale his Friends Call the True
story OF the Flood.
Jack Gray's father and mother lived
In New York eleven months in the
year, but the whole family almost in.
variably spent August at the sea shore
Or in the country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gray had purchased q
lot on Fifth avenue long before SC
much wealth and fashion congregated
in that particular section of the city
and, although there were many more
pretentious homes than theirs on every
side, still their house was handsome
without, and the books, pictures,
furniture and carpets We're what might
be expected in that locality, notwith.
standing the fact that they regarded
themselves as plain people, who had
not pursued, but been overtaken by
fashion.
A sultry morning, the last day OF
July, found the furniture covered UP
and packed away for n months nap
and carriage at the door ready to
take the Grays to the station.
AS Mrs. Gray passed through the hall
she noticed that ono piece of baggage
was unmarked. "Jacliy, dear" she
said, please run upstais and write
fathers name on n card for the leather
trunk; it has all our bathing suits in
it, and we must not risk losing It,"
Jacky flew to the third story, his
especial property, and he wrote
Jonathan Gray" with such flourish
he splashed ink all over his fingers
He went to an upstairs bathroom to
wash his hands; but the water would
not come, SO he rushed down to the
second story bathroom, made himself
presentable, and was in the carriage
by the driver before his mother thought
it possible.
Mr. Gray locked the front door, and
sending the key to his brothers by a
servant, started on his summer holiday
with the comfortable feeling that he
was taking a needed rest and leaving
everything safe in his absence.
About ten days later two policemen
were lounging by lamp post near the
house. 1t had been raining for twenty
four hours preceding, and, although
the sun was now shining brilliantly
the caves were still dripping, and from
the marble steps ran steady little
stream to the street.
81 say, Bill" remarked one Of the
men to his comradc, ''it's monstrous
quare thing, but l b'lieve it rained
more on this one house yesterday than
any three in the city; every time
passed there was a reglar pond on the
pavement, and it's still a-comin' down
them stcps."
"You everlasting igiot!" returned
Bill, Its a-running out of the house
