cation in England with which Lady
Henry Somerset was prominently idenu-
fed Lady Henry and Frances Willard

forwards became the w. C. T. u. of the
whole world although it was not until 1891
that these two great leaders met, when
Lady Henry visited Miss Willard at 1.-The

down for the guidance and help of ALL
These were so much the work of Frances
Willard and showed so thoroughly her
skill and executive ability that she was

sltion which she has since held.
The object. according to her own word
ing, is ITO unity throughout the work OF
women in temperance and social reform,

The convention IN Toronto is to be the
greatest one the union has ever held, the
entire city will take part in IL and will
endeavor to make 1t more enthusiastic
gathering than the famous annual ones
Of the Christian Endeavorers.
The chairman of the reception commit

was trimmed with narrow bands of petu-
nia-colored velvet ribbon.
The bodice was blouse fastening at
the front under a broad box-plait of the
chamois-colored taffeta. 1t was made of
the almond-green cloth. An empiece-
ment of embroidered black net trimmed
the front of the waist. 1t continued
across the back of the corsage in a
straight. broad band that was midway
between the collar and the girdle. I'M
der the net was a transparency of the
chamois-colored taffeta.
a tiny ruche of the petunia velvet rib
bon trimmed the edges of the empiece-
ment, and petunia-colored spangles out
lined the embroidery on the net. Each
edge of the box-plait was bordered with
the narrow petunia velvet ribbon.
The sleeves were of the gray cloth,
close fitting and mounted by short puffs
of the same. Small, square epaulettes
of the chamois-colored taffeta, covered
with the spanSled net, fell over the puffs.
The girdle was a high-draped girdle of
the petunia velvet finished at the right
side with bow of the same. The tall,
straight collars was of the chamois-col-
ored taffeta.
The becoming, dressy tour de cou Is
more popular than ever.
The light, fluffy ones that are worn on
warm days with light. summer toilets
are made of pure white tulle or gray
tulle. They are very full and high, and
are sometimes the length of a half boa.
Often they are only long enough to reach
around the neck, and are finished with
ends of web-like lace. They perish so

that the overcoming of an exceedingly
hasty temper pleased her more than any
thing else she had been able to do"
The Worlds w. c. I. L. has attempt
ed many things and accomplished much,
but there are wise whispers of stll great
er achievements and many surprises to be
sprung at the biennial in Toronto next
month.
In addition to the convention regular at
Toronto, there will be an ovation to Miss
Willard, birthday celebration, OF con-
graduation upon having attained her
hfty- ninth birthday, which she does Sept
IS. As Miss Willard has been in Europe
almost continuously since her first meet
ing with Lady Somerset, 1t has been i'm
possible toaobserve her birthday publicly
of late.I 1t Is therefore thought best to
make some celebration of 1t at this time.
Regarding this. Miss Anna Gordon her

Ogunquit, Me-, August, 1897
TO the Editor:
eve are here at the seaside, where Miss
Willard Is trying to take a genuine vaca-
ton from her correspondence and to give
what little time she devotes each day to
dictation towards the preparation of her
addresses for our Buffalo and Toronto
conventions, which meet in October next
Miss willard warmly appreciates your
kind thought of mentioning her birth
day.
You ask me to tell you what gifts
Miss Willard has received in previous
years as birthday tokens. On Miss Will
lard's tiftieth birthday we made a carn
in her garden back of Rest Cottage
Evanston, ILL.,, this cairn being composed
of stones from hundreds of her friends
in this and other countries, including con-
trlbutions from John G.. Whittier, Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, Susan 3, Anthony
and a host OF others.
Through the generous Kindness of
Mrs. Amelia Thorp, the mother of Mrs
Ole Bull, and of Mrs. Bull herself and her
friend Mrs. Able Shaplegh, Miss Will
lard's Den was enlarged and greatly i'm
proved by an ample fireplace oak writing
desk, etc. etc. There have been other
delightful gifts, not always exactly on
Miss Wizards birthday. For instance.
the furnishing of her little cottage, the
Eagles Nest at Twilight Park, in the
Catskills, was the work of white ribbon
ers from almost every state In the union
and there is charming fountain in Chi
cago named for her which represents the
figure of a child holding it's cup of water
which was presented to Chicago by the
boys and girls of the Loyal Temperance
Legion from all the countries auxiliary TO
our society, and the money for which
was in every case earned.
Miss Wizards birthday, Sept 49, is OBJ
served by temperance children under the
w. c. T. u. the world over, as q Harvest
Home Day, and exercises are held, show
ing that the fruits and grains OF the earth
ought to be used for food rather than
made into harmful drinks. with all good
wishes from us both, / am, yours sim
cerely." Anna A. Gordon.

tom. Just above the rufTle there was
broad band of orange satin, covered with
coarse black net. The net was trimmed
with appliques Of heavy, deep cream
lace. Bordering the band, top and bot
tom, were ruches of narrow black velvet
ribbon.
The corsage was close fitting and fas-
tened at the left under arm seam. AT the
front there was a little square yoke OF
the yellow satin inserted. The satin
was laid in narrow horizontal folds. From
the shoulder seams, back and front,
hung rufiles of the black gauze that
gave the effect of a short bolero.
The gauze was covered with appliques
of heavy cream lace. Where the gauze
bordered on the yoke there was a finish
of black velvet ribbon ruche. Hang
ing from the center of the yoke was a
full bow of the narrow velvet ribbon,
with ends reaching 10 the waistband
The sleeves were leg-of-mutton sleeves
with the fulness caught half way be-
tween the shoulder and elbow, with full
bows and long ends of the velvet ribbon.
The tall straight collar was of the yell
low satin. laid in folds. Broad black vel
vet ribbon was employed in making the
girdle.
One of the pretty young girls here, who
is AM int.efatigable tennis player, has a
pretty new tennis gown of white nuns
yelling, trimmed in bluette MORE, that Is
very chic.
The skirt is a godet close-htting over
the hips, with rather a generous flare al
the bottom. Four rufIies of the cream
nuns yelling trimmed the skirt. These
were headed by folds of the bluette MORE
cut In rounded scallops.
The corsage gave the effect of a jacket
over a front of pierced batiste. II had a
broad collar of the bluette MORE, with
ends following the edge of the vest and
extending down to the belt. Over this
collar there was another collar Of en-
broidered cream batiste. The front OF
the jacket was trimmed with six large
bluette pearl buttons. The sleeves were
exceedingly original. They were of the
cream nuns yelling as far as the elbow.
From the elbow they were of the bluette
MORE, with caps Of the nuns yelling,
trimmed I'm the big blue buttons.
One of the prettiest afternoon toilets /
have seen was made of almond green
cloth.
The skirt was plain round skirt, gath
cred a trifle at the front and over the
hips, with the fulness falling in folds at
the back Down the front OF the skirt
there was a broad box plat of tafeta

The Man in Debt.
From the Boston Journal.

rum lilt BOStCn JOURNAL.
There is no greater spur to a young man
of acute intellect and sound health than
humping debt Of, say $5O,OOO How infe-
rior are the novels written by Balzac be-
fore he had incurred great obligations
to those written in hope Of freedom from
his debt! Furthermore, a man who owes
a large sum of money seems to be respect
ed by the butcher. baker and cande-stick
maker more than the thrifty, anxious soul
who is disquieted by a triflng unpaid
bill. The audacious debtor is pointed out
to strangers, not derisively, not with the
finger of reproach, but as a historical
building, a Landmark in the community
He wears the best of clothes, eats and
drinks sumptuously sits in the chief seats
in the theater: and, as rule, spends the
summer on steam yacht. The man who
owes $4,000 is far better off, so far AZ
this world goes, than the man who owes
$50. Are there not banks that lend cheer
fully to him who already owes them $50 =
600, fearing possibly that, IL angered by
refusal, the debtor will never pay even a
portion of the original debt? Yes, a young
man Of acute intellect and sound body
should contract as soon as possible after
he starts in business a humping debt.
The only trouble is the difficulty in find
ing anyone who will lend the first $50, 600.
We have not found him yet, and we have
been searching for him since 1879.
