NOVELTY IN FRAMES.
a Pretty and Practical Method Of Ar
ranging Photographs.

To make the frame, simply procure
an oblong bit of heavy cardboard large
enough to allow of the chosen num-
Der of openings. In it have cut as many
circles as you have photographs; then
cut a bit of fine white linen an inch
larger all around. On the linen mark
exactly where each opening falls.
When that is done draw or have
stamped various blossoms, as you may
prefer. The suggestions given have
been found effective and serviceable,
but are of course susceptible to change.
Holly for the winter man, forget-me-
nots Tar him of whom we dream, bios
SONS for the pretty man, violets for the
sentimental man and daisies for the
summer man are those most popular,
however.
Embroider each wreath carefully and
exactly; then wind simulated ribbon
in and out. Indicate it by an outlining
on each edge, and about each frame
outline the lettering. The remainder
of the work is purely technical, but it
requires absolute neatness to insure
success.
Press the linen carefully on the
under side; then stretch it over the
cardboard, taking great care that each
circle falls exactly over it's opening.
Pull it tight and smooth and paste the
edges to the under side of the board.
Cut each circle out, but be sure to cut
one-half inch within the line Slack the
edges and turn them under neatly;
then paste them firmly into place.
When the paste is quite dry lay over
the back second piece of board, and in
it cut slashes or openings to admit each
card. Paste it to the Uncovered board
at all four sides and send to Trainer
for the glass and passepartout binding.

Brilliant Mountain Flowers

All who have made pedestrian tours
through the Alps remember the vivid
beauty of the mountain flowers. Com
parsons recently made by DR.. Gufour
show that the superior purity and
splendor of floral colors in the Alps are
not imaginary or mere effect of con-
trast. The reds, blues and yellows of
the mountain blossoms are much more
intense than those of the same species
of flowers grown at ordinary levels.
The leaves, also, have deeper and rich
er green, and microscopic examination
shows that chlorophyl is more abundant
in Alpine plants than in those of the
plain. One fact which seems quite
natural, yet is very interesting, is that
on the mountains plants have relatively
smaller aerial organs and larger sub
terranean ones. Thus, a graceful flower
which, in the plains, is seen nodding at
the summit of an aspiring stem, will be
found high on the mountain slopes hug
cling the soil, anchored by comparative
ly heavy roots, and beaming up with ac-
centuated beauty from the ground

Oyster Loaf.

The following recipe for making an
oyster loaf is furnished by an authority:
Cut an oblong slice from the upper side
of Vienna loaf of bread, then scoop
out the crumbs from the inside of the
loaf. Spread the casing with butter,
fill with raw oysters, about one quart;
add tablespoonful of chopped parsley,
half cupfnl of cream, some small bits
of butter, pepper, salt and two drops
oftobasco sauce. Put on the upper crust,
put in baking dish and pour the
oyster liquor over it. Cover and bake
20 minutes, basting often with the
oyster liquor. When done, put on an
oblong dish, cut in slices and serve hot.

A DEBuTANTE's WARDROBE.
Suitable Gowns and Wraps for Young
Society Girls.

Suitable Gowns and Wraps for Young
| Society Girls.
An important gown for the young girl
just out in society is the one to be worn
| on the street-one not too elaborate for
a morning walk and still smart enough
for luncheon or afternoon reception.
1t is almost impossible to make one
gown do duty for these several occa-
sions, so there should be two-a rough
| and-ready tailor-made cheviot, severely
plain, but well fitting, and smooth
faced cloth of bright blue, braided with
black-the waist in reality a jacket,
tight-fitting and braided in military
fashion with black. With this are worn
q boa and muff of silver-gray fur-a
color that only fresh, young faces can
stand.
This second gown might be of bright
red with black satin, made with Boz
lero jacket and gold buttons, or of gray
worn with gray felt hat trimmed with
ostrich feathers. A bolero jacket and
full belt and front Of rose-color satin
relieved the gray.
Elton jackets are favored this winter.
They are more suitable to young girls
than to elderly women, and dressmakers
have not been slow to take advantage
of this fact. Dark-brown velveteen, or
dark red, make charming street cos
tunes made with the Elton jacket. One
of brown has a tight-ftting waistcoat
and broad belt of yellow silk trimmed
with threads of mink.
Short jackets of seal or Persian lamb
are desirable, but must always be short,
as the longer coats are only for older
women. Russian blouses in fur, belt
cd with narrow gold belt, are in fash
ion. None of the fur garments close
at the throat, but open to show jabots
and bows of ribbon and lace to the dis
comfort and future pneumonia of the
wearer.
Daintiness should be the predomi-
nant feature in a debutante's evening
gown. White and the light shades Of
pink, blue, yellow and green are pref
test. At the Assembly hall in New
York nearly all the young women who
made their first appearance wore white,
looking exqu.sitely fresh and simple in
spite of the fact that the gowns were
rich and could have been made only
by the smartest modistes. Light gauzy
fabrics, made over silk or satin under
slips, were the rule; sometimes tulle
skirt had satin waist trimmed with
tulle. One gown of embroidered chiffon
had a pattern of love-knots interspersed
with garlands around the skirt, which
was also trimmed with a double ruffle
headed by very full ruche, all through
which were punches of tiny pink roses.
The waist was of plain chiffon with
girdle of pearls and rhinestones. Puff
ings of chiffon encircled the decollete.
The hair was dressed high with little
stiff spray Of pink roses.
The round-cut evening waist off the
shoulders is more fashionable than the
square-cut, and while it shows the
shoulders can still be arranged more
modestly than the other. All evening
gowns are worn trifle higher and have
n soft fold or two of lace or chiffon ar
ranged as tucker. Lace berthas are
worn, but are If narrow lace, caught up
so not to hide the lines of the figure.

A Legend of LOnlbardy.

An old Lombard legend tells the story
&C chieftain who asked the hand Of a
neighbours daughter. Upon it's being
refused him he declared war, killed the
chief who had declined the honor of be
coming his father-in-law, and married
the girl after all. Not satisfied with
this much he had the skull CT his wife's
father mounted in gold as drinking
cup, and one day, while under the inf1u-
cnce of wine, ordered his spouse to ap.
pear before the assembled guests at his
house and drink to his health out of the
horrible bowl. She did so, hut ever
afterward was her husbands secret
but most deadly enemy. She joined in

God is infinite, and therefore Healone
can satisfy the human soul. He who
would reach the heart must preach the

mand for something higher, some
thing beyond itself; if we speak to that
consciousness of need, we will have
hearers.
The death of one dear to us, as
child or parent, makes us review the
past. 1t is very painful then to think
OF many things which we cannot now
approve, words unllindly spoken, dis

now; they cannot be undone or re-
called or blotted out. The grave cuts
off the opportunity to make proper
amends.-United Presbyterian.

A BRIEF INTERVIEW,
An Old Doctors Answer to a Young
Atheists Boast.

Atheists Boast.
a young New England collegian, hav-
ing finished his college course and
spent four years in study in Germany,
came back lately to his native village
with lofty contempt for its old-fash-
Toned habit of thought: contempt
which he did not hesitate to express
quite frankly.
On Sunday morning he leaned over
the gate in the shade, Watching the
neighbors going TO church. When the
old physician Of the village came up,
the young man called to him:
Hello doctor! Is it possible you are
still going through the same old rou-
tine of religious formalism?"
We'll, yes, jack" the doctor said,
cheerfully. Same old prayers, same
old Bible. They agree with man at
the end of life. infer from your ques-
ton that they don't agree with you,''
looking at him keenly.
II don't agree with Them" said Jack,
haughtily. There are too many i'm
portant matters in life for me to spend
my time trying to find Christ as the
phrase IS"
What important matters?"
Science, for one. That is fact.
can grasp that. Reform in politics;
the betterment of the lower classes.
These are real things. My generation
wants real things. They are not suf-
ticiently credulous to accept a God
whom they cannot see nor hear. They
devote themselves to science, to char
liable works. They have buried this
old-time idea of God out of sight"
The doctor nodded. 81 see," he sadi,
gravely. ''And yet-science is but IL
cropping effort to understand His laws,
and there is not q charitable or noble
thought which can come into any of
your heads which had not it's origin in
the old Bible. Do you remember the
Indian fable of the ant, JACKIE"
mo. What is to" answered Jack,
smiling indulgently.
''The ant, coming out of the ground
for the first time, found fault with the
sun. Why was it so hot here and cool
yonder? The glare was intolerable;
some leaves were parched by it. I
could manage better if I were up yon-
der it said, loudly.
''The trees explained to the ant that
the sun brought life to the whole world,
now that winter was over. 1T is a
big world they caid. 1T extends out
side of this garden!'
"But the ant said: The sun does not
explain himself to me. If ne will not
Justify himself to me, will bury hini
out of sight
$50 the ant crept into his inch-deep
hole, and worked there in the dark for
day or two, and then lay dead, while
the sun went on shining"
Jack forced a smile. II suspect, doc
tor, that you invented the fable. It's
simply q repetition of the same old
story"

It's tide of music rolls,
Through our adoring souls,

Each day with Thee shall end,
Till joyful we ascend,
To dwell with Thee.

The Fear OF God.

If we would nurture civilization and
moral culture, if we would keep society
from anarchy and barbarism, if we
would stem the tide of animal passion
which is constantly striving to flow over
the world, we must make God known to
men. Society must be built upon that
one cornerstone, the knowledge and the
fear of God.-Archbishop Ireland.
