basque and deep yoke of blue silk, to
which the crepon was sewed with a
head. Over the shoulders were straps
of pale blue satin ribbon ending in ro-
settles In back and front, and the belt
was OF the same ribbon. Crepon gave
the sleeves.
Trick dresses were never so easily ac-
complished as now. Plan II possible
one entire rig, and then make combina-
tons from that as a center. For in
stance, you have new silk. black and
white striped, enough to line a gener-
Gus skirt at least to the knees, and bare
ly enough of some handsome grenadine
stuff in a light color to make the front
and back of a bodice, with no sleeves.
On so much we will start. Get black
grenadine, a weave that will show
through, but not too clearly. If the
skirt has only lining of silk to the knees,
then from the knees up there must be
rows of braid, so that the change of lin
ing will not be noticed. Now a jaunty
bolero with sleeves to go over the gren-
adine sleeveless bodice. Well say the
grenadlne Is white with pale green
thread, something that once made an
opera cloak, perhaps. This bodice fits
perfectly at the back, and in front Is
drawn in folds from the throat to the
fold of black satin that finishes the
edge at the waist. You will set fall
of lace at each shoulder to hang down
under the turn-back revers of the boz
lero, and there will be a touch of the
same lace at the wrists. Isn't that a
stunning costume? 1t will do for the
theater, for dinner or for any high-neck
occasion. You will line your black satin
coat with pale green, and when it falls
open the effect is lovely.

REMAIN UNCHANGED.

Goldbeaters' Tools and Cooks Caps as
They We're in Ancient Times.
In almost every kind of trade known
to man the years have brought mani
fold charges in the way of tools, i'm
proved machinery, advanced ideas as
to the manipulation of material and
numberless aids from the fields of
science, the workshop of the chemist
the inventor and the artist But there
Is one trade in which no advance has
been made and that Is In the goldbeat-
er's trade. The same tools and the
same appliances are used now as in the
days when Solomon built his temple
and the art flourished in ancient times
When Tyre and Sidon ruled the SEAS
when Carthage disputed with Rome the
supremacy of the world, the goldbeat-
ers of those days worked with the same
implements as those used nowadays
1t is very singular thing that in all
this endless change, this rearranging
and shifting, the goldbeaters' trade
should still be conducted on its ancient
basis and stand primitive in relations
to the other trades and arts that have
progressed so steadily and Importantly
Another curious feature of the trades Is
the badge of the cooks cap. 1t Is the
same cap nowadays as the cap worn
by the cooks who served up nlghtin-
gales brains for Lucullus, Vitellius and
the Roman epicures. The cooks of the
days of Shakespeare, of Charlemagne.
of all ancient time, wore the same
shaped headgear-the Inevitable cooks
cap that the chef of fashionable mod
ern hotel wears. The times change and
people change with them, but IN this
labyrinthlan moving and changing 1t
must be remembered that there still
exist two symbols sent down through
the ages as they were In the beginning.

leather belt came around the waist. The
other dress combined Scotch plaid suit
ing and dark blue cloth in an unusual
way. A simple blouse waist was of the
plaid, but over 1t was bolero of the
other material, which was adorned
with large blue reyers covered with
white lace. The skirt had on each side
an inserted panel of blue cloth strapped
across the top With cord and buttons.
Stock collar Ind belt were of blue vel
vet, and tho fitted sleeves of the plain
blue material were finished with puffs
of the plaid.
Looking ahead to late spring and
summer dresses, the opportunities for
economical scheming In semi-transpar-
ent fabrics are highly attractive to in
genious devices. New models for this
period are remarkably handsome, and
though those now perfected are for the
most part highly wrought their elabor-
ateness can be copied cheaply with
good management. In the third picture
is one of this class, a gown of mauve
grenadine made over coral silk and
trimmed very freely with linen en-
broidery. Wide panels of the embroid-
cry showed on the skirt, designs of 1t
were placed between the panels, and
the bodice. the tight portions of the
sleeves, and collar and loops show the
same garniture. Coral silk furnished
the deep corselet and the bolero fronts.

Tea Drinking.

The tea-drinklng habit that only a
few years ago was supposed to be an
infallible sign of an old maid, now
numbers among Its yotaries many men
who, for one reason or another, think
tea better than more potent drinks.
Nearly every big club in New York
counts its tea drinkers by the score.
They order tea when others around
them order whisky. Five O'Clock is the
tea drinkers time, and In support of
their habit they say that 1t does not
interfere with their appetite for dinner
and Is as pleasant an aid to social
chat as whisky or beer. One Of the
regulations of the navy says that moth
ing stronger than sherry shall be serv-
ed In the wardroom, but this doesn't
prevent any officer who chooses from
keeping whisky in his room. As n
matter of fact, however, there is COM
paratively little heavy drinking done
by naval officers in the service. A WIS.,
itor to one of the boats in the navy
yard was talking with several officers
In the wardroom one afternoon last
week when the senior lieutenant who
had been on deck for four hours su-
perintending the shipping of several
small boats, came below, looking thor.

The man who minds his own bust
ness will always have something to do.
Step where God tells yon to. and you
will find your foot planted on the rock.
The prayer that comes from n broken
heart goes straight to the heart of GOD.
The more grateful we are for our
blessings, the smaller our trials will
look.
1t means that he will also give US much
grace.
If We do too much for our children
they will never be able to do much for
themselves.
1t Is hard to convince some preach
ers that they are not needed most
where the pay is the best.

what some people mean when they
say. 'Thy kingdom come"
Heavens windows are still waiting

There Is nothing in the Bible to en-
courage anybody in thinking that he
can be saved by his own good works.
The preacher whose only usefulness
lies in his ability to cure insomnia in
his hearers, has misunderstood his call.
There is much praying done in pub
lie and private that falls short of a
genuine calling on the name of the
Lord.
Men have no patience with the man
who fails at vital point, but God
bears with him, and gives him another
chance.
One of the biggest fools in the world
Is the man who thinks the devil won't
get him because his wife belongs to
church.
Many a man who begins what he
considers promising Journey In the

There Is something wrong with the
man who goes home from church mad,
whenever the preaching Is aimed

Tree Ages.

Gericke, the great German forester,
writes that the greatest ages to when
trees In Germany are positively known
to have lived are from 800 to $40 years
For instance, the pine In Bohemia ana
the pine In Norway and Sweden have
lived to the latter age. Next comes the
silver fir, which in the Bohemian TOT.
ests has stood and thrived for upwaru
of 400 years. In Bavaria the larch mas
reached the age of 275 years. or foh'
age trees the oak appears to have sur
vived the longest. The best example
Is the evergreen oak at Aschoffenpufs'
which reached the age OF 40 years
Other oaks in Germany have LIVED /"

stripes, dots or figures, are much hand
somer than the old weaves, and are
sure to be much worn. Indicative Of
;how they will be employed is the gown
of the concluding picture, which was
of figured linon over leaf green silk
lining. The bodice was drawn across
the front in surplice fashion. fastening
at the shoulder with a bow of green
ribbon and white lace. The sleeves
were gathered ali the way TO the wrist,
headings of the gathers showing, and
were topped with small caps of the
goods finished with lace ruffles., The
high medici collar had a lace ruffle and
bow of green ribbon at one side. Ruff
fes are TO be used a great deal next

will appear frequently on just such
skirts as this one, either In a Spanish
flounce or in an abundance of smaller
ones.

stock of what she already has, and then
sally forth to study styles and ways
and means Mt one and the same time.
II she can only manage to weather
spring without complete bankruptcy,
the rest ought to be easy, for no dresses
are so easily made to seem much better
than they are as summer rigs.
