Fashion Notes.

Tailor costumes are decidedly in
the lead for street wear. Braiding
is much used, and the military mess
Jacket is popular. Eton coats are
still stylish and Norfolk jackets are
much seen again.
Nearly all the tatfeta now offered
is soft aud scarcely rustles, remind
ing one of the pongees in appear
ance, though they show smoother
surface than pougee. The rustling
taffetas are used principally for
shirt waists and skirt Innings.
The pinafore waists will be worn
to quite an extent. The upper part
of tho waist being cut away permits
the wearing of guimpe of very
thin material, and this is very COM

Among the novelties which belong
to the shirt waist one finds Bingham
collars and cuffs to match. These
contrast with the waist, and the

they have worshipped God all these
years, the present building being the

first one having been built before they
made for themselves dwellings. In

Relipinn in the HONG.

All christian parents are supposed
to try to raise their children to o hey
the commandments of God, and to
do right in everything; but do we
endeavor to make religion sweet to
our children? If love of duty and
right living be inculcated in their
hearts, much has been accomplished
for them. A man may lead moral,
just and upright life, because of
family or social pride, or for many
other reasons; but unless Divine
love prompts his thoughts and ac-
tions his life will be fruitless. If
we truly love God, our duty to Him
will be always pleasure. The home
conversation should tend to bring
the children into closer communion
with God, making them feel that
He is their eyer present friend. An
exchange says: when the home
atmosphere is religious, and the con-
versation is seasoned Herewith, the
children will grow up considering
the high problems of personal duty
and destiny, and will not hasten
from godly speech, and act as if the
subject were too unpleasant for con-
sideration. We have been privil-
eyed to know few people who were
so sweetly abiding in Christ that

What Woman owes to Society.

Woman stands as the sacred
guardian of future homes and our
nations prosperity, and to her must
we look for true reforms. To her
standard must society come. Let
her be sure to place it high and keep
it pure, and make it apply i'm
partially to all people. Let her
keep out those whom she knows fall
short of her standard, and never
cOndOne in the stronger sex what
she condemns in the weaker. Let
her think not to elevate society by
hiding or condoning the evils which
surround her on every side, but only
by shutting out those whom she has
found it impossible to raise to her
standard. Then future generations
will arise who will bless her for
their heritage, instead of cursing
her for their misery.-Dwight l..

The Domestic Diplomat.

The feminine domestic diplomat
is a person Of unlimited tact and
good sense. She has what not to do
reduced to a science, and, served:
That she never describes her aches
and pains.
That she never dwells on unpleas-
ant "reminiscences.
That she never apologies for the
food.
That she is never a martyr.
That she never corrects her chill
dren in the presence of any person,
even the family.
That disorder of a temporary ma
ture does not visibly disturb her.
That when the family diatribe
threatens she knows how and when
to deity change the subject.
That she gets rid of a guest who
bores her by simply folding up a
newspaper, and the other never
suspects.
That she lets everyone have affairs
of their own.
That she is always polite and cor
dial to the children's friends.

ParasOls.

The new parasOls reiterate the
note of bright color which has been
observed in all the modes of this
season. 1t is quite possible to match
any sort of frOck now. The India
silk parasol promises to be immense
ly popular. The novelty is the
'sunburst," parasol made on fiat
japanese frames. The tendency in
all parasols is toward color and
elaborateness.
By freak of fashion it is the in
side not the outside of the sunshade
on which the ingenuity of the
makers in regard to adornments at
present expends itself. Unfurled,
they are mass of soft bouillonnes
of bright chiffon and frills of lace.
Fancy mOires are among the newest
and most fashionable materials for
sunshades.
The sticks are study in them
selves. In some cases they are
enamelled to match the color of the
parasOls. Sometimes they are of
green stained wood now so much in
vogue, surmounted with a birds'
head carved in agate, with a gilt
beak or a hand painted Dresden
china ball; others, again, are in tor
toise shell, beautifully modelled
into dogs heads and other devices.

make these is where the material
can fall in long, easy lines. Wat
teau backs and loosely draped
fronts are graceful. Where it is de-
sired to have a regulation dress the
skirt may be made plain or ruffled,

looks best, as it gives opportunity

Every width of lace can be en-
ployed nowadays on the gowns de-
signed for house wear. Some of the
dressmakers trim dress bOdices with
cascades or loops of lace, with a
view to accommodating the gem
iewelry possessed by their wearers,
so that, for instance, a diamond star
would appear to fasten fold of lace,
and a crescent would act as the
centrepiece of lace rosette, while a
jewelled bar pin holds lace frill in
place on the shoulder. Tucks are
much used as trimmings, and there
