remember. . child does something of this sort
in the books under discussion. The child's
neighbor may be greatly in error in not attend
ing the particular church. but the matter is not
for child's decision. This question of creeds
and Christianity is a question that has dis
turbed and perpiexed the most sincere and
profound thinkers of the world, and is not to
be lightly decided.
Another fact in many Sunday school books
is that the good child ren-ths models-are

ing incidents of life in q family Of average
means. The sunniness of their mornings is
not clouded by anything more serious than
deep sorrow over Cousin Molly's vanity or the
eternal wickedness of . thief who broke into
their house.
Another point concerning books of this sort:
The characters that are most deeply grounded
in human vanities only are reformed by being
stricken with blindness or spinal disease,
when. relieved entirely Of earthly desires,

SAYS. Now, mine own is and always was q

might really be, is vehemently denounced.

like Violet and Elsie, but was painfully like
Molly. Now. Molly. the villain of the story,

That is one aspect of the influence of these
books Other books whee the little boy Oh

likely to terminate sickly, morbid ideas-to-

A child is so built, however, that usually he
sheds all responsibility for this world and the
next, all moral and theological problems and

In ono of his stories. Henry James describes
an attractive young woman az being pretty,
but not 80 pretty as she looked; clever. but not
intelligent; amiable. but not sympathetic. It
is . most clever description Of some OF the
fashionable young women, who, despite their
every advantage for education and polish. are
clever, not intelligent; amisble, and not SYM
pathetic. There are always girls who make
the most of themselves and shine in whatever
circle they happen to be located. There are
girls at country sociables, girls in opera parties
girls at musicales. girls 1t church fairs, who
tally with this description exactly.

A stylish frock is of black net over black
silk or satin, made bright with folded bell

blue velvet
All sorts of fower-eolor combinations are IN
yogue-green velvet belts and collars for violet

rose-ycllow and green with pale blue. Now
adays the makers of cloth are so skillful in
dying that there is little trouble in making
these combinations pretty enough not to shame
tho flowers themselves, whereas few years
ago it YVES difficult task for woman WITH
only slender purse to find green that was
pretty and bright, and true enough in tint to
put with the flower colOrs. Green velvet ana
green satin both are used. and sometimes green
silk, though it seems in some way to lack tho
flower quality that the other materials possess
for these belts, collars and bews.
There seems to be little bit of a fad now
adays for making the sleeves of gown differ
ent-that is, different from each other in shape
and material; fad that, like some OF the old

A graceful gown-one of Redfe designs
in the HarPer's Bazar--is Of cloth, velvet, aud
lace. THE front is Of lace over white or ivory
satin. The velvet revcrs are of velvet bor-
dered with narrow ecru lace insertion. The
dress may be carried out prettily in dark-blue,
green, or brown or in tan or gray. Ashes-of-
roses-with the velvet and satin Of slightly
rosy tint---would make an exquisite gown, and
one Of which no November or Christmas bride
need be ashamed. Ashes Of roses is a mysteri-
GUS color, varying from pink-gray to pink
tan, or q tan-pink; but difficult as it is to
describe, it is lost fascinating shade.

But he sent 10 Valera and she Offered

wept and seeking her husband, addressed
him:

ask you to grant the boon I would ask"

Then she told the sad tale Of Theodosius
