patterns. The latter shape is pre-
ferable if to be worn under an Elton
jacket or blazer, as there is not more
fullness than will fit comfortably
under moderate coat sleeve.
At the wrist the sleeve is finished
by being gathered into a band, to
which a cuff can be attached, or
with "A turn-back cuff of the same
material as the shirt.
1t is quite out of date to have
white linen cuffs attached to the
cOlored shirt waist, though the de-
tachable white linen cuffs and col
lars are the proper thing.
There are two styles of cuffs-the
plain, to be worn with pink cuff but
+ tons, and the wide, turned-back, like
those of last season. The fastenings
of cuffs with narrow ribbons was
one of the vagaries of fashion that
did not accord well with the simple
and tailOr-made style of the shirt
waist. No ribbon decked linen
cuffs will be seen on the summer
girl this year.
There are two shapes in collars.
One is a wide, turnover one, with
which is worn narrow cravat or
string tie, and the other is high,
turning over at the top about bali an
inch. With this latter shape a
| choker is worn, which hides all the
linen except the turn at the top. 1t
will be a greater mistake if anyone
wears the little string tie with the
collar that is intended to be worn
with chOker.
There is a novelty l have noticed
among the silk shirt waists that are
designed for wear until it is time to
put on the more summary ones of
linen or cotton.
A black taffeta waist has three
front and three back plaits, set on,
of plaid silk. With this is to be
worn high white linen collar and
black satin choker.
Another silk shirt waist is of black
and white check, the plaits lined
with white silk which binds each
side of the plaits. With this is to
be worn choker of bright plaid.
These waists are undeniably smart
and fill in very nicely for any but
really dressy occasions, the gap
there is in the wardrobe between
the chilly days and the really warm.
Ready-made shirt waists have
reached such point of excellence
that it is possible for one to be very
satisfactorily fitted out in the shirt
waist line without the expenditure
Of either very much time or money
However, the made-to- order shirt
waists have their advantages, mas.
much as one may secure in that way
just the colors that one knows are
most becoming, and which it is not
always possible to secure ready
made.

THE DRUNKARD'S SONG.
DIR. Talmage Talks of the World Wild
Curse of Inebriety.

DIR. Talmage Talks of the World Wide
Curse of Inebriety.
1t was the song of the drunkard.-
Ps 69:l2.
The costliest song on earth is the
drunkard's song. 1t costs ruin of body;
it costs ruin of mind it costs ruin of
soul. Go right down among the resi-
dental streets of any city, and you can
find luxurious and once beautiful home
steads thai were expended in this de-
struction music. The light has gone
out in the drawing room, the pianos
have ceased the pulsatiOn of their keys,
the wardrobe has lost its last article of
appropriate attire. The BelshaZZarean
feast has left nothing but the broke
pieces of the crushed chalces. There it
stands, the ghastliest thing on earth,
! the remnant of a drunkard's home; the
cOstliest thing on earth is sin; the most
expensive of all music is the "sOng of
the drunkards." 1t is the highest tariff
of natiOns-nOt protective tariff, but
tariff of woe, tariff of death. This
evil whets the knives of assassns, cuts
the most of the wounds at the hospital,
makes necessary most of the almhOus-
es, causes the most of the rawlings of the
insane asylum, and puts up most of the
iron bars of the penitentiaries. 1t has its
hand to-day on the throat of the Amer
can republic. 1t is the taskmaster of
| nations, and the human race crouches
under its anathema. The song of the
drunkards has for it's accompaniment
the clank of chains, the chattering
teeth of poverty, the rattle of the exc
cutioner's scaffold, the creaking door
of the deserted home, the crash of ship
wrecks, and the groan of empires. The
two billion twenty million dollars
which rum costs this country in year,
in the destruction of grain and sugar,
and the supporting of The paupers and
the invalids and criminals which strong
drink causes, is only small part of
what is paid for this expensive song of
the drunkards.
One of the easiest songs to learn is the
song of the drunkards. Anybody can
learn it. In little while you can
touch the highest note of besottedness.
Begin moderately, sip here and sip
there. Begin with claret, go in with
ale, and wind up with cognac. First,
take the stimulant at a wedding, then
take it at meals, then all the time keep
your pulse under its stealthy touch. In
six months the dullest scholar in this ap-
pOlyonic music may become an expert.
First, it will be sounded in a hiccough;
after awhile it will be heard in silly
ha-ha; further on it will become wild
whoop. Then it will enable you to run
up and down the five lines of the must
Gale scale internal. Then you will have
mastered 1.-THE song of the drunkards.

The dainty little flower boque is
style in the new millinery which
will doubtless be very popular.
Simplicity is the keynote to the
latest style of couture, though this
does not mean smooth to sickness.
White cloth Elton jackets are
fashionable in London. 1t may be
only question of time until they
are with us. The fashion chron-
iclers proclaim them very pretty.
Black silk shirt waists, with two
or three side plaits Of some bright
color, set in on either side of the
front, and a turnover collars and
cuffs of killed silk of the same
shade, are very attractive, as well as
useful.
Accordian plating will figure
largely in the makeup of the spring
wraps. These wraps assure a
variety of shades and colors.
The busy and economical woman
declares that the ready-made gown
is the one for her.
Grenadine-the beautiful old
grenadine, though much improved
has come back to us. OF it some of
the most exquisite of summer gowns
will be fashioned.
Tucks are applied to low bodices in
an entirely new style; that is, satin
and silk, made full back and front,
are covered with lisse, having
horizontal tucks from the neck to
the waist, and the sleeves are
! treated in the same way. The
material renders them very soft and
graceful and makes them exactly
suitable for the little debutante.
Embroidery characterizes many of
the handsome gowns now being
made for after-Easter functions.
Chenille embroidery is particularly
we'll adapted to flowers and chenille
is now dyed in the most beautiful
cOlors.
! Low bodices are nearly all laced
in the back. For young matrons the
bodices pointing back and front are
considered more suitable than those
round and belted.
We still retain our admiration for
the turquoise-both the stone and
the shade in frabics. The turquoise
plays an important part in en-
( broidery, and it is still the fashion
to mingle it with a bright, messy
green.
MORE has come back to us in a
great many guises. 1t shows to best
advantage as the groundwork of the
large and beautiful designs in satin
brocade thrown upon it. Occasion
ally there are cloud effects or lace
scrolls. Some of the moires are
very little watered, but when
brocaded the waves are very large.
The canvass grown is destined to
be in great favor, both in black and
cOlors. For women past their youth
the black ones, over reddish pur-
pies, crimsons and greens, look
as if they were especially designed.
1t is no small matter to find a
durable material, and one which at
the same time is sufficiently dressy
for friendly visits, church going and
the like. The various canvases
can be relied on to fill all these re-
quirements.
A black satin jacket suit is one of
the most fashionable one can have,
the skirt trimmed with shingles of
satin or with thick satiE-c0vered
ropes set on in clusters of three
about hem and knees. This will be
lined with a color, green or red
being the favOrite. The Jacket will
be a short, fiat one, with small
shingled or corded sleeves, and a
broad shoulder collar and turn-up
cuffs of white satin covered with

For a complete outfit for bride
so much depends upon her financial
position that one can scarcely give a
good general idea, but no really re-
fined lady now makes great dis
play of her rousseau, and no one
purchases or makes up great quanti-
ties of underlinen, or even buys
many new gowns. A couple of early
morning wrappers, a couple of pretty
dressing sacks, one tailor suit, one
visiting costume as costly as her
purse can buy, one nice afternoon
dress, one tea gown, one or two
dresses for dinner and evening.
The travelling costume should be
of the least Obtrusive sort. The
wedding gown may be as elaborate
and handsome as the purse will ad-
nit and velOTs is now the favored
material; almost any pretty white
goods may be used however. No
one but the bride wears white shoes,
though white gloves may be worn
by all who like them.
The present fancy for the bridal
bouquet is to have white half open
ed roses, with their foliage mingled
with smilaX and maidenhair fern,
and the whole tied with tulle bow
with long ends. In one instance
there was a spray of fern sewed
upon large ribbon bow, mingled
with tulle, and this depended from
the main bouquet by two white rib
bons. With bridal gown is always
| furnished a wreath and bOuOuet of
artificial flowers which may or may
not be copied in real ones. This is d
good idea, for there are times and
places where it would be impossible
to obtain the real flowers. They are
preferable in all cases, though they
| fade soon.

wish to ask my girl friends if
they realize that there is great
difference between the art of talk
ing and the art of conversation.
One may be IA splendid talker, new
er at loss for something to say, and
at the same time be failure as Il
conversationalist. Some of the
most uninteresting people in the
world are unceasing takers, who
doubtless think they have mastered
the art Of conversation.
1t Is a general belief among young
ladies that they must not let the
conversation lag for one instant, and,
fearing this, they keep up an I'M
ceasing chatter about things which
are, perhaps, entirely uninteresting
to their listeners. Give your cOmpan-
ion an opportunity to express
thoughts which he considers quite
as worthy as those expressed by
yourself Choose your subjects OF
conversation with nicely, or, if your
companion introduces theme, fol-
low him closely, making sensible,
appropriate and sincere remarks
when occasion presents itself.
Be as lively as your disposition
warrants; there is IA difference be-
tween the merry talk which issues
from a jovial nature, and forced
chatter; it is the latter which is to
be avoided.

When the dew is on the clover, and the
grass is wet all over,
And we want to watch the men pile up
the big, red blooms for hay,
And mamma comes and gets us, and
scolds us and then pets us,
l take my dolly in my lap, and this is
what ! say:
"Never mind, my little dolly,
Just be my own sweet Molly,
The honey bees will drink the dew, and
then We'll go and play.
Now do not be unruly,
For your mamma loves you truly,
And you always will be happy if you
only just obey"
When at night the winds a-sobbing,
and the moon vines are a-bObbing
on the window cause the garden was
so dark they're scared to stay,
And the shutters ara a-creaking, and
the clock is ticking, ticking,
Then take my little dolly up, and this
is what | say:
"Now, hushabye, my dolly,
Just be my own sweet Molly;
There's nothing more to harm you in
the dark than in the day.
Now do not be unruly,
For your mamma loves you truly
And you always will be happy if you
only just obey"
When the house is shut up tightly
though the suns a-shining brightly
And it is dark in mammals room, and
am sent away,
And feel so very lonely, with just my
dolly only,
take her up and hold her tight, and
this is what | say:
"Don't cry, my little dolly,
My precious little Molly,
| know it's sad as sad can be, when she
is gone away.
Now, do not be unruly,
For your mamma loved you
truly,
And she said you would be happy il
you'd only just obey"

The New Ten.
Matrimony has ten command
ments.
These were studied out by
Theodore Parker shortly before the
day of his wedding. They took the
form of ten beautiful resolutions,
which he inscribed in his journal.
They are as follows:
|. Never, except for the best
reasons, to oppose my wife's will.
2 TO discharge all duties for her
sake freely.
3. Never to scOld.
4. Never to look cross at her.
8. Never to worry her with COM
mands.
s. TO promote her piety.
I. To bear her burdens.
8. To overlook her foibles.
8. TO save, cherish and forever
defend her.
10. TO remember her always in
my prayers. Thus, God willing, we
shall be blessed.

Death and the Child.


recently witnessed the sad sight
of a little child crying Mamma,
mamma" over the unresponsive
form of its mother, cold in death,
and heard her heartrending screams
when that mother was lowered into
the grave. 1t further confirmed my
belief that little children should not
witness such awful scenes. Older
people are staid and kept up by the
understanding and belief of the i'm
mortality of the soul. But the little
child has no such comfort. 1t sees
death in all its awfulness, without a
ray of light or glimpse of the
Saviour's soothing smile. 1t is very
hard to make a little child under
stand that its mother has gone to a
beautiful home in heaven to live
when it has seen her form put in the
cold, cruel grave. How often we
hear children say that grandma or
the baby is in hole in the ground.
What an awful thought that is fol u
little child, when it ought to be be-
lieving and dreaming of beautiful
angels and that bright fiowery home
above.
think no child should be allowed
to witness death until il is old
enough to understand the separa-
tion of the immortal spirit from the
mortal form. 1t would be much bet
ter to keep it away until all that de.
notes the material birth into heaven
has been removed and then tell it
that beautiful story of the Saviour's
coming.
say spare the little ones the sad
sight of the cold, unresponsive form.
Let their last memory be of life and
love.-DetrOit Free Press.
