Severe Test OH Complexions.

Among flowers the lily seems to be
the most severe test of woman's lowell
ness. In reality, it is too stiff, too un-
yielding, to be quite suitable for tuck
irg into the belt or for wearing in the
corsagc. But the form usually chosen
for the lily as a personal decoration is
TO be seen in pictures, where fair young
persons hold sprays of them. The ac-
l;nowlcGgcd beauty and the actress are
peculiarly prone to this bit of posing.
And Tho effect is usually unsatisfying.
Possibly the cause lies in the formality
of this flower; in the fact that it is not
Adaptable, and is stiff and uncompro-
missing. But there is, perhaps, deeper
reason. The lily has come to symbolic
for us the spiritual, and though this is
but n convention, it yet influences us,
as if it were really a belief. From this
arises the effect of unsuitability felt
when the, stately white sprays are used
for personal adornment. 1t seems too
frivolous treatment of them, and,
moreover, few are the faces in which
spirituality is so predominant that the
lily seems to belong to them.-Chicago
Chronicle.

For tho NIodlsh NIatron.

A fabric resembling rich ribbed ORR
entail silk recommends itself to the no.
tice of matrons, who, while they have
good dress now and then, consider
that it is wiser to have q handsome one
which will not easily show wear. For
that object nothing can surpass it, as
it will stand legitimate wear for long
time, and youthful variety of this
is made with spots and wavy stripes
of color in rose, green, blue, plum and
old gold. The crepe mohair, shot with
black, is appropriate for making sleeves
and vests when satin or silk are not de-
sirable, the elasticity of the stuff MAX
ing the sleeves set out just where they
ought. Tweeds and cheviots, which,
when tailor made, have so long been
part of every lady's trousseau, are now
likely to be relegated to the cyclist and
sportswoman.-St. Louis Republic.
a LITTLE drive every day aids the de-
velopment of young horses. A long
spell of idleness in the stall and then q
severe drive are ruinous to good mus
cles and must be avoided.
If the hoof is punctured with nail
or anything of the kind--remove 1t
and be sure that no foreign particles
are left in the wound, then inject pure
carbolic acid, then apply iodoform.
Wash clean every day and repeat the
treatment until the wound is healed.

We GIYGER-BREAD HORSE.


There are people and places that fade from ouI
minds,
And days that grow dim in the past,
There are loves that are born, and wither and
die.
And nothing seems true 10 the last
But back in the days Of the long, long ago
When the little backyard was our course,
The friend who was dearest and sweetest to us,
Was the galloping gingerbread horse.
Can we ever forget him His arohed neck and
tail,
His Sugar-glaced ears and foretop?
Don't we feel the thrill Of uttermost JOY
AS we carried him out of the shop?
Then, breathless with happiness, longing to
start,
We sped to the back-cellar door,
And there, in paradise, nibbled and munched
Till the gingerbread horse was no more
Oh, my gingerbread horse, how the taste Of
thy heels,
And the peppery sweet of thy name,
With thy black-currant eyes and thy brown
softened sides
Come back from the dim past again
How taste. as | dream, every mouthful | ate
OF thy luscious young self For in truth,
There are times when | feel | would give all
have
For gingerbread horse Of my youth
-Ercrard jack appleton.
