FOR THE LITTLE MAID.
How to Dress Her So as to Make Her
Veritable Summer Fairy.

How to Dress Her So to Make Her
Veritable Summer Fairy.
How to dress the little maid from
four to eight? What she shall wear
and how to make it? is not the question
that perplexes mamma, as does the
gowning of her elder sister. The little
maid looks so charming, and each wee
frock takes such a scrap for its con-
struction, it is hard to resist making
just one more of the many pretty de-
signs shown in the shops. Simplicity
and comfort are the points considered
in the little maids toilets this season.
The short full skirts, big sleeves, wide
brimmed hats and sunbonnets will in
sure her many happy hours of play.
The following little gowns shown by
a celebrated house will illustrate the
favorites for summer. If she is a
blonde, light wood brown, with touches
of green silk and cream lace will trans
form her into a veritable summer fairy.
1t is made of waffle crepon, with
double box plat front and back,
caught only at the neck, and has deep
cape of green silk, with cream lace
rufle The full sleeves are gathered
at the wrist. Two rows of narrow
green ribbon and one row of cream in
sorting give pretty finish to the skirt.
A close cap of green silk, with band of
inserting, lace frilI and wide silk strings
complete this costume. A pair of hook
kid gloves and parasol will make the
little maid perfectly happy.
The next little frocl1 is suitable for
church or for ''best" on cool summer
! days. Dull blue fecked with brown is
used in this model. The little skirt has
few gathers in front, the fullness being
well punched at the back. A scant
rufile of brown silk, stiffly lined to
stand out crisply, and a second ruffle of
heavy lace points, form ''V' neck on
the skirt, the 1eg-o'-mutton sleeves and
for belt and rosettes. With this gown
is worn fat-crowned sailor of fine,

MIDSUMMER COSTUMES.

The Downfall of CrepOn Indicated-COm-
pIete Dresses of One Material Promise to
Soon PrevaiI-FashiOnabIe Materials and
Trimmings-The New Sleeves.
The general outline of fashion has
changed very little since the early sea-
son styles presented themselves. Skirts
are much the same, except that less
haircloth is used in their lining. Here
and there one is seen with plated sides
made of a straight breadth and the
same gored front and godet back. Skirts
without trimming are the rule for all
gowns except thin muslins. Some of
these made recently are trimmed with
two or three bands of insertion arranged
in deep point on either side.
The leading materials for gowns in
tended for midsummer wear are batiste,
organdie, swiss, linen duck and pique,

rows of guipure insertion on the skirt,
a lace vest, turn over collar and deep
cuffs and bows of black satin ribbon on
the shoulders and sleeves. The waist at
the back is plain, with little fullness

endless in variety, and the thin gauffer-

soft and glossy and looks like miroir

Ribbon and lace are the usual trim

made over white or colored lawn.
White Organdie dresses over cOlored

with cream valenciennes lace. Three

From Christianity in Earnest.
The financial problem is now the
most important and perhaps the most
difficult of any occupying public atten-
tion. 1t is the foremost question in
business and political circles through
out the civilized world. Various the
ories are proposed, diverse policies
suggested, and the forces, favoring and
opposing, are gathering as the real or
supposed interests of the people,
aroused as if by call to arms, suggest
to the individual citizen. Political
party lines are traversed with little, if
any regard to questions of protection
or free trade, or others prominent two
years ago, and the very existence of
old political parties in their unity
the country seems to be in
peril, although both, in their last ma
tional conventions, formally declared
in favor of both gold and silver coin.

that our European cousins will wake

they have compelled financial policy
