gowns tailored. They are to be
worn with shirt-waists, leather
belts, linen collars and ties. Pique
suits are similar in style, and are
also trimmed with the soutache
braiding or braid put on in rows,
and the material is of softer finish.
Pique comes in a wide range of
plain cOlOrs as we'll as in stripes and
small all-Over patterns. Black and
white pique is allowed even for deep
mourning, and the pink, light green
and blue shades make lovely suits
to be worn with dotted Swiss waists
trimmed with yellowish lace.
Pique costs from fifteen to seventy
five cents yard; the medium-sized
cord is considered the best. The
facing on the skirt of such fabric
should be fitted to the shape of the
skirt; an ordinary bias piece will
not shrink and will iron as smoothly
as the outside material. Then there
is crisp cotton forty inches wide
and forty cents a yard, in plain,
striped and checked effects, in light
and dark cOlors, that is very service
able for odd skirts. 1t is really a
canvas weave, and it is claimed that
it will never lose Its stiffness. 1t
washes we'll and does not need any
lining, the crisp feeling giving it its
title. The material is intended for
jacket suits, but l think it best for
skirts only. White and dark blue
pique skirts are most suitable for
wear with cotton shirt waists. April

How Johnnie Sang "America. >,

Going by the Shaw School one day
last week, when the weather was
warm and the sunshine gracious,
one could hear over the tops of the
open windo VS. the little ones singing
America" The teacher was
evidently teaching the words to her
young flock, for they stopped often
to listen to her explanation and re-
peating of the words. Over the
verse Land where our fathers died,
land of the pilgrims PRIDE" she
labored long and earnestly. When
they seemed familiar with the
words they picked up the tune
amazingly quick. A shrill-vOiced
youngster could be heard way above
the others. His thin voice rose
high above the chorus, and he was
singing with great conf lence in
himself.
When they came to the end of the
tune the teacher called upon Johnnie
to sing the verse by himself.
Johnnie, nothing daunted, lifted
up the keen-edged soprano after
this fashion:
Ian where Ow fathers dies,
Land o. tn pills an pies"
There wasn't a general laugh in
that room, and Johnnie's version
may have been great deal more
universal than one would think

Confirmation Gowns.

Olive Harper has described for us
two lovely gowns suitable for the
maidens' first communion. One was
made of white cashmere, the skirt
severely plain. The sleeves were the
popular French style, with rows of
lace half an inch wide set at equal
distances all down the waist. The
sleeves were close, save at the top,
where there were two puffs. The
high stock was of white satin, with
a narrow ruffle of lace. There was a
sash of white satin ribbon ten inches
wide, fringed deeply at the bottom.
A little satin chatelaine bag hung
on narrow white ribbons at the left
side. The veil was of tulle, un-

Harriet Palmer Grabbed
Long have sought for a happy face,
Oft have | sought for mind content;
We waste our days in an endless race
For pleasures that soon are spent.
A weary struggle for silver and gold,
An endless effort for glory and fame !;
Our efforts are endless, our struggles
untold,
Still farther our object, still higher
our aim.
And happiness knocks at our door in
vain;
She is clothed in the garb of the totler
We bar the door in cold disdain,
Thus being our own despoiler.
Then happiness sorrowfully turns
away,
And leaves us alone to our fate;
When she is gone we bid her stay,
We know her worth when too late.

THE POINT OF VIEW.

[By Martha Sheppard Lipplncott.I
This world is as we make it,
/ often hear them say,
If we are sad aud fearful,
The world will seem that way;
And if We seek the dark side,
Where everything goes wrong,
And see mOle-hills as mountains,
Our lives will seem too long.
But if we seek life's sunshine,
Sweet joy TO others give,
And gaily climb life's mountains,
AS though we're glad to live;
To overcome disaster,
And sunshine round us shower
TO make our dear friends happy
Then joy will be our dover,
The world is but mirror,
Rehec ting each ones mind,
If we look at it Grossly
TO us twill not look kind;
But if we smile upon it,
1t will be joyous, too;
No matter how we see it,
Twill give us our own view.
So, when the world seems dreary,
And life seems bitter, too,
Just ask your disposition
1T it can better do;
And, if it turns To sunshine,
The world will look so bright
That YOU will be forgetting
How dark has been the night.

l"We do not have enough music in
the home" writes Mary G.. Stetson
in The Woman's Home Companion.
"Children who sing at their work
will hardly quarrel, and parents
who sing will find the burden of
their task grow lighter. There is
rest and recreation in music. Once
a frail minister who thought the
progressive wheels of the worlds
work would stop if he took vaca-
ton, slept and dreamed a dream.
He dreamed that he died and APP
peared before the Lord. The Lord
seemed surprised to see him, and
asked: What did you come 50 soon
for? Why did you not take needed
rest and recreation, and so prolOng
your lifer The minister walked and
went to Europe recovered his health,
is alive to-day, and is known for in
spring words all over America.
II wish that every mother could
dream this dream. The world may
spare her, but her home cannot.
There are no children but need a
mothers care and love. They are
more responsive and obedient to a
tie Of blood than to n tie created by
law. Does she inquire, then, how
she can economic her forces, that
they may last; how she can burn
less fuel, that her little fire of life
may burn brightly and long? My
answer is, let women try to give to
things their true Importance. 1t
will make no difference in weeks
or a years time how windows and
woodwork look to-day, but it will
make a difference whether the
children are perfectly nOurished
physically and trained mentally.

things first, and if your strength

wait; sing inspiring songs. Try to
get something out of life for all you
put into it. Enjoy something to-
day, for tomorrow may not be
yours. People ought to get more
than an existence with such help as
song and sunshine, laughter and
friendship.
'This generation is greatly in
debted to both secular and religious
schools for developing the talent for
music in our young people. Bayard
Taylor wrote, THE gift of song was
chiefly lent to give consoling music
for the joys we lack There is no
other talent which can contribute so
much happiness to home.

home it fosters the home spirit and
strengthens family ties. Encourage
the children to sing. 1t matters not
whether there is much music in
their voices or not; there is music
in their souls from which the effort
springs, and that is enough. If the
gift of song is divine gift, the dis.

The Prettiest Gowns of All.


Orgaudy has taken the first place
among washable fabrics for two sea-
sons, and this summer will be more
in use than ever. White, green,
yellow, blue and pink grounds OBJ
tain with brilliantly blossoms
over the surface, the color being re-
peated in the Innings and ribbon.
These gowns are the most elaborate
made for summer, and in plain
white are the favorite dresses for
bridesmaids and girl graduates.
Deep cream and yellow Valen-
cennes lace is the daintiest of trim
mings, and where the insertion is
used it should be inserted in the
material, not laid on the outside.
Lace edging is whipped on tiny
rolled hem for the ruffies of the
dress goods. The thin dresses are
all made entirely separate from the
lining, and no matter how thin the
material the skirts are gored and
/ five yards wide. A pretty, round
waist, made with shoulder and side
seams only, has three clusters of
three half-inch tucks in each, and
on the lower tuck of each cluster is
ruffle of three-iuch lace. The
tops of the full coat sleeves are
treated with similar clusters and
lace, and the entire effect is deli
cately airy. BolerO fronts, edged
with lace ruffle and lengthwise
strips of lace, trim organdy waists,
and there are small jacket fronts of
lace with collar back for seven to
ten dollars that trim waist, with
the welcome addition of ribbon.
Fine tucked material, which is
called lingerie tucking, is promi-
nent feature for all cotton gowns.
They may be cross or lengthwise,
but they must be somewhere on all
the summer dresses. Edging the
tucks with a narrow frill of lace
gives dainty, fluffy appearance,
now much appreciated by women
with slender tigures.-EXchange.

Fame.

In the fullness of youth, wealth,
beauty and love were hers. Yet all
her dreams were of fame.
II will write a great book" she
said, land my name shall be upon
every lip, and my praises sung
throughout the land"
So, in the Joy and vanity of youth,
she wrote her book. But fame
stood long way off. Then, as time
passed, sorrow came into her life.
Grief blotted out ambition and
dreams of fame were forgotten.
But once more she took up her
pen.
II will write a book" she said
again, land it shall be not for the
multitude, but for the few who have
suffered as 1 have suffered. 1t shall
speak to them as a sister speaks,
and give counsel and courage and
cheer"
So she wrote her book. And it
was book not for the few, but for
the multitude. For all had suffered.
And her name was upon every lip
and her praises were sung through
' out the land.
And 10, fame had cOme.-Ladies

Keeping White Gloves Clean.

A thoroughly useful suggestion
has been vouchsafed by a Partisan
elegante to her sisters who wear
white or very light kid gloves when
making calls and wish to prolopg
their existence as long as may be.
1t is to buy loosely knitted white
wooden gloves and wear them over
the kid ones, rapidly withdrawing
them on reaching the house. 1t is a
valuable hint for women who in the
course of afternoons calls make two
or three little trips by the railroad
cars.
