duced by the stirring. The bottom Of the
founce is either laid in small tucks or is
finished with a very deep hem.
Toques are made OF tucked chiffon, and
transparent canvas In various colors is made
up into sailor shaped hats and trimmed with
chiffon, wings, and flowers. Colored feath-
ers are to be very much used, and all sorts
Of jeweled effects in dressy bonnets. There
are wings of gold gauze edged around with
narrow white lace, spangled over with col
ored jewels, and the l~oveliest silk crepe
peoples in cream white and yellow, dotted
here and there with tiny rhinstones.
The diplomatic sleeve is gradually getting
down to the promised sheath-like proper
tions, and in muslin gowns we find it tucked
around and shirred un and down; but 1t fits
the arm closely all the way to the shoulder,
where the eXtenuating little frills console us
for the loss of the balloon we gloried In such
a short time ago. Other sleeves have a little
puff at the top with a frill falling over 1t.
But it is only putting off the evil day when
we will have to appear in the real thing with
out any delusive ruffles.
Belts, girdles, very wide centuries, empire
sashes, chatelaines and every sort of eton,
zouaye, bolero, and figaro Jackets will main
tain their vogue during the summer season.
There Is no diminution whatever In these
dressy items of the fashionable gown, and
they are as varied in their smart little guises
as tne tops Oh uress sleeyeS Win thsll pul-

The fancy waists in all sorts Of materials,
and especially chiffon, still promise a con-
tinued popularity. Any color may be chosen,
and lace and spangled effects are the usual
decoration, with little epaulet frills of lace
or chiffon over the shoulder. This epaulet
Is almost q necessity II you would have per-
lection Of style. A black chiffon bodice,
with a touch of red, is the correct thing
Just at the moment, and the proper skirt to

sian fashion, is plain black satin.

Miss Rogers has a clear. rich soprano
voice OF marvellous volume and intense

made her the sensation Of the hour In Milan.

SOME EXQUISITE NOVELTIES.

ions, was written, Is the Partisan SILK linen
above referred to.
SOME EXQUISITE NOVELTIES.
Brown batiste is the actual foundation Of
this material, interviewer with silk stripes
In an open mesh, but a contrasting color.
Some examples OF this new weave show the
silk stripe divided from the linen by a very
narrow lace line, nearly all of the examples
so far exhibited display embroidered dots and
vines in white on the alternating bands of
pale blue and silk and ecru linen, or scarlet
linen and ecru silk. But If ones soul does
not yearn over these frilly. crisp breadths,
there is a novelty to attract on the cloth
counter, a light weight, perfectly smooth
faced cheyiot, woven in small six
sided squares of green and brown,
ideal for a spring suit. Rubbing
elbows with this, in excellent new
shades of pavement gray. and pine bark brown
is a comparatively new French wool weave,
under the very non-descriQtive title Of 'etin-
celle. In this case, however, the name is
of no Importance, and the bearer of it is like
an ideal summers weight camel's hair, If
that can be imagined.
Every week in the least-expected places
new manifestations are evident. and Just a
few days ago the last consignment OF foulards
came from the foreign mills, all damasked
oyer In the most delicate half-skeleton pat
terms. Undoubtedly that was a good idea
OF the weavers. The damasked figures are

A Voice Which Shall Live,

When the last prayer shall be said over
the last dead comrade and the last requiem
shall be sung over his grave, he will still
speak to the living both of the past and the
future. His voice will be heard in the 10y
atty OF his children and in their devotion to
the old flag. 1t will be heard in the better
and eyer-improving free education to the
masses, and in the more exalted national
virtue which springs from the performance
of noble deeds and in the living of good
lives. Today the nation weeps over its
dead, and strews flowers upon their graves.
But the air is full Of song and the household
is full Of rejoicing in remembrance of the
blessings which, through their lives. all
honorable peace has brought to our doors.
Long may the flag that they so nobly de-
Tended wave over this favored country!
Long may the nations children gather un-
der its folds and fling its colors into the I'M
tainted atmosphere Of American loyalty!
Long may the people shout and rejoice as
its every star becomes a star Of promise and
its bright stripes, radiant with beauty, shall
symbolic the sunrise OF universal peace

A PRAYER for Guidance.

Father Of all, graciously look upon us as a
family now seeking to behold thy face. As
the morning light is thine, so the blessing OF
the whole day must come from thee. Guide
us with thine eye, We humbly pray thee, and
give thine angels charge concerning us, lest
at any time we dash our foot against stone.
Above all grant unto us large gifts Of the
holy spirit. We do not pray for bread alone,
but for the bread OF life that cometh down
from heaven. For one another and for our
absent friends we would fervently pray. Bless
the old and the young and with the sick and
the fainting be thou very gentle. Watch over
those who are full OF care and speak COM
fortably to those to whom wearisome days
and nights are appointed. Saactify our
successes. and may our failures teach us
that 1t is not in man to direct his way. Go
with the child to school and with the man to
business, and may those who stay at home
feel themselves under the constant care OF
God. The Lord undertake for every one OF
us according TO our hearts necessity and
multiply unto us his grace, so that beyond
all our want there may be an overflow Of
divine love. Amen.

The Stock Which Bred Heroes.

There must come time, not very far
away. when the chief actors in the work of
decorating our soldiers graves will not be
soldiers who themselves fought for our
country's life, but their children and their
surviving countrymen. for death will have
claimed the last member of the Grand
Army of the Republic. A million men were
sent back to the walks Of private, civilian
life when the rebellion closed. But thirty
years of times moving have cut down the
human wheat then standing in the field,
until the sheaves yet to be gathered are
comparatively few indeed. Let me assure
you. for your country. and in its name. that
your heroism in its behalf shall be held in
everlasting remembrance. You may transmit
to your families when you go hence very
little of material store; but your part as a
Union soldier in the great Rebellion will be
legacy to them Of untold value, and your
children's children to the latest generation
will count themselves honored in having
come from the stock in which such heroes
were found.-Rev J. b. Stitt, d. d.

Bucks Paid Dearly for Their scrap.

Two Susquehanna County young
men, few weeks ago, returned from u
bear hunting trip through Pike County,
Pennsylvania, bringing with them n
pair of locked horns, which they OBJ.
tained from an old hunter in that SEQ.
ton. The hunter, in prowling through
the woods, came upon the carcasses of
two fine bucks, their horns firmly in
terlocked. They evidently had been
fighting, and in the struggle had locked
horns. Being unable to get them sep
arated, and, consequently, unable to
obtain any food, they had starved to
death in that position. One set had
nine prongs. The horns are so firmly
locked together that it is impossible to
separate them without saving off one
of the prongs.-New York Press.

King George ] of Greece owes his
royal Office not only to the favor of his
subjects, but also to the grace of three
of the leading powers of Europe, and
any change in sovereignty which the
people might desire to make would
have to be approved by these powers,
viz: France, Russia and England.
When the independence of Greece was
declared, says the Philadelphia In
quirer, the powers selected Prince
Leopold, now king Of Belgium, as the
ruler of the new state. He accepted
the Office at first, but subsequently de-
clined. In 1881 Otho, son of the king
of Bavaria, was placed on the throne.
He ruled until 1862, and in that year
revolution broke out in Athens, and
he was deposed. A provisional COM
mittee then ordered the election of
another king by universal suffrage,
and Prince Alfred of England, who is
now duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, was
elected. An agreement had, however,
been made by France, England and
Russia that no prince of either of
these countries should be placed on
the throne, and his name was there.
fore withdrawn. On the Both of March,
1868, the national assembly of Greece
elected Prince Christian of Denmark
king. The election was confirmed by
the powers on the 18th of July, and
he ascended the throne and was
crowned as King George. t.
