There is no nation in whom runs so
much mixed blood as in the American.
The English, or Saxon, is the stronger
and larger, but where that is found
even in small measure, it has been
proved, the world over, to take the lead.
Our American finds mingled with his
Saxon blood that of many nationalities,
and these strains tell. sa that if he is
thoughtful he also finds somewhat of
Il complication. There may be few
strains, there may be many, but the
influence is more or less positive. Let
any mother trace back for ten, or even
five, generations on her own or her
husbands side, and she will see what
is the Inheritance of her child.

1t is great help and comfort in rec

is Gods child. The Heavenly inherit

and whatever national peculiarities or
traits may be manifest because of the
earthly generation, the other Inherit
ance, if recognized, is of tremendous
importance in equalzing, harmonizing
and developing, in restraining and over

Trimmed skirts will be very much in
evidence among forthcoming gowns
both for day and evening wear, but not
to the exclusion of the plain, elegant,
undecorated models so long favored,
and still preferred by many of fashions
leaders,
The possession of half a dozen pretty
slip waists of net, chiffon, fancy taffeta
silk, or satin affords the wearer any
number of beautiful changes of the
toilet at comparatively small expense
as ~ yards of black satin or MORE
will make the effective background for
all of these various changes, this num-
Der of yards being all that is required
for gracefully gored skirt, holero
jacket or a deep OF narrow girdle, as
best suits the wearer.
Black gowns gain in favor for evening
wear, and one can hardly lavish too
much jet garniture upon them, especial
~ on the bodice and sleeves. Accordion
plated black mousselaine de sole, silk
etamine, net, tulle and other diaphan-
Gus textiles are highly popular, made
up over watered silk and black crepe de
chine, black taffeta silk trimmed with
rows of velvet ribbon or jet-a very old
style revived-are all noted among the
newest evening toilets worn. Black
India crepe over moire is made up with
a very effective and elegant embroidery
of cut jet and French brilliants laid
over velvet ribbon-a style less garish
than it sounds; and green velvet and
cerise satin are oddly and strikingly
used upon black velvet, satin and tran
sparent black toilets. Any number of
new black nets are brought out and will
be used as transparencies over cerise,
mauve, Spanish yellow, pink, old rose,
etc, as well as over black or white moirc
satin or taffeta.-N. Y. Post.
