BOSTON. July 3.-The quaint little wayside
Chapel in the Mnplewood district OF tho neigh.
boring city of Maiden is again open for public
worship after having been closed for several
months, owing to the illness of the pastor-owner,
Mrs. II. Nj. Bruce. 1t is one OF the oldest and at
tho same time one Of the most attractive places
OF worship to he found anywhere in this part OF
the country. A gravel path leads up to 1t from
the street through rows of trees and bushes. A
little sign, "Waysido Chapel, and two crosses
tell the traveller the character of the place. but
there is nothing else OF a churchly appearance
about the exterior OF the building. 1t Is. In fact,
a wing OF the house of Mrs. Bruce, and. there

applique lace around the edges. The vest Of

and around the lower edge Of the lace collar

two shades Of rose-pink taffeta silk. The belt is
OF black satin ribbon. and narrow black ribbon
gathered in tho middle trims tho edge OF the

head them. Another gown. of blue and white
foulard. is made very striking with belt and
bows Of black satin and purple ribbons. No one
but q F~renchwoman would ever contemplate
this daring combination of colors. but the bows
are so cleverly made that tho effect is quite
taking. The collar is Of white lace over white
taffeta, and white lace insertion trims the seams
in the front Of the skirt, forming three rounded
panels above a lace-edged rufile of the foulard.
Another model in pale pink muslin shows one
of the many odd-shaped lace collars worn. and a
little frill Of white chiffon finishes the edge.

Eeousness OF the Spring.
In general appearance the latest summer mil
linery is much less fantastic in character and
coloring than It was in the early spring, now
that white and yellow straw hats have the lead.
and white wings, white lilacs, and dainty chiffon
are the favorite trimmings. Light transparent
effects are sought after in millinery as in all
other departments Of dress. and Neapolitan and
zephyr braids are the ~pretticst of all. But there
are all sorts of fancy braids. and then the old.
fashioned leghorns trimmed lavishly with
white feathers are worn again. with pale ccru

and wings bringing up the end of the line. Black
hats are quite as much worn as ever, but the

out Of place with the dainty light gowns.

Tho difficulty of keeping palms and rubber
