Piaues and Cotton Canvas.

Judging from the quantities of pique
displayed in the shops, it is to be Il fa
vorite material the coming summer. 1t
is of lighter weight, not nearly so stiff as
it used TO be, and the different colorings
are very attractive, the pale yellows,
pinks and blues especially so, while
there are dark blue striped with white
and tan with hairline of white which
should make up very smartly. This is a
fabric which is particularly pretty for
children's wear, and in the coats and
capes trimmed heavily with bands of
openwork insertion is much better for
summer than any silk could possibly be.
For grown up people pique looks best
made in a severe style, and a coat and
Jacket in tailor fashion are always salts
factory. There is a rumor, and one that
seems TO have more foundation in fact
than most rumors, to the effect that the
loose sack coat is to be made up in
these piques This is style which re-
quires great care in cut and make.
When it is becoming, it is immensely
so, but when il is not it is the very ug-
liest garment any one can wear. The
gored skirts, made with the narrow
cores, are to be fashionable for pique
and such materials, each seam having
a cording or piping, lines of braid or
narrow and effective insertion.
The canvas cloths are much on the
order of ducks and come in great va
riety of coloring. They wash well, do
not shrink and are not so heavy or
warm as the duck, and therefore prefer
red by many, but they have the disad-
vantage Of mussing very easily. The
reds, the tan, the blue and the black
and white are particularly noticeable
this year and should look very we'll
made up in the tailor styles, and braid
ing is especially good on them; there
fore it would be well for any woman
who is clever with her needle TO begin
now and braid herself smart Eton,
bolero or any other short jacket, for
she will certainly find it fashionable
when the warm weather comes. Denim,
which is very much on the same order
at least resembles it closely in appear
ance-will be worn in the braided cos
tunes, and the plain blue linens will
also be braided so there is plenty of
fancy work for the long winter even
ings. gs.-Harper' Bazaar.

Benefit club is at 53l West Superior

cerned 1t is self supporting although
the fees are so small, the initiation fee
being 25 cents and the dues cents a
week. The membership numbers about
225, and includes number OF the lei
sure class besides large number of
self supporting young women.
The club was organized III 1890 by
six young women who recognized the
fact that home of luxury was the fate
of comparatively few, and who longed
to divide the favors fortune had bestow-
ed upon them with their less fortunate
sisters. They had worked together for
some time in the Ashland circle of
Kings Daughters, but the club was not
in any way under the auspices of the
Kings Daughters. Alice Cary Burk-
hardt one of the founders, is president
of the club.
After the regular classes were estab-
lished Saturday evening was set aside
for socials and lectures, the latter on
history, hygiene, Delsarte, general care
of the health and other interesting sub
jects.
A library was started at once, and
that, together with the games and mu-
sic for those who do not wish to join
the classes, helps to make the evenings
spent in the clubhouse both profitable
and pleasant
The expenses were betrayed at first
by the proceeds of a concert, which
made nest egg of S268 to start on.
But the club very soon outgrew its
small quarters, and it was decided best
to build. About 81, 500 was raised by
subscriptions, entertainments and ba-

handsome and commodiOus clubhouse
was built which cost 81, 900, $500 being
paid each year on the Indebtedness.
This amount is raised 10y outside sub
scription, entertainments, etc They
still owe So, 600.
The house was dedicated amid great
enthusiasm and has drawn an immense
membership from that vicinity. 1t is
finished admirably and furnished for
the special needs of the organization.
On the ground floor are the rooms occu-
pied by the janitor and his wife, the
matron, and consist of little five room
flat. The bathrooms, which are always
open for the use of the members, are al
so on this floor, as we'll as the furnace
and storage rooms. On the second floor
are the offices, library, two large recep-
tion rooms and well appointed kitch-
en- where the cooking lessons take
place and which, as furnished, is a mod
el kitchen in every sense of the term.
The third floor is divided into large
auditorium and two music rooms in
front.
The entire house has hard finished
floors, and the rooms, with the excep-
tion Of the large auditorium, are fur
nished with rugs. All the furniture ex-
cept the auditorium folding chairs was
donated by friends of the institution.
This is probably as attractive club
house as there is in the city, especially
when it is taken into consideration that
it is managed entirely by girls These
young women say the organization is
what its name ndicates-delightfu
mutual in its benefits. The members of
the leisure class have time and ways to
plan and to work for the support of the
club outside the clubs own limits The
wageworkers do their part in dues and
are always ready to engage in entertain

mission price as help TO the revenue
Of the club 1t is impossible to estimate
the value TO the leisure class of the les
sons which they learn of the girls and
young women who every day CLEAN ex-
perience in the business world These
industrial members are bright examples
of patience and perseverance.
The classes are all free, with one ex-
ception, and the fee for that one is on
ly 10 cents, the charge being made on
account Of necessary expense involved.
The other classes are carried on by "a
volunteer teachers, who aim TO make
their instruction as practical as possi-
BILE. For the dressmaking class sewing
machine has been given, so that nothing
is left out of the fullest instruction

This institution is not for the so call

at civilizing, but Americanizing. This
district being composed entirely of for
eigners of the poor but thrifty class and
speaking their native languages in their
homes, it is hard to get at the heads of
the families, as they stay at home so
entirely that many of the women do not
understand the English language at all.

Lamp Shades and Sleeves.

Three years ago when women were
back at 1880 in their sleeves-whateve
they were in anything else-lamp shades
aspired to rival them in their volumi-
nousness and blossomed forth into veri-
table canopies, covered with elaborate
confections of silk, lace and ribbon. Last
year innumerable reefs had been taken
in the still ample sleeves and lamp
shades showed their desire to reef also.
Empire shades, straight and severe,
moderate in size and guiltless of "trip
peries, were all the rage. You could
have them with their simple frames
covered with various colored silks, gath
cred on and drawn tightly over them,
finished top and bottom with full ruche
of the same silk or the same colored
mousseline de soSe, or you could have
them in parchment, decorated with old
prints applied, outlined by dainty scrolls
in water color, or you could have them
decorated entirely in water color in any
design that most appealed TO you.
This year sleeves have shrunk TO in
finitesimal proportions and lamp shades
We're i'll despair. They could see no way
for them TO shrink. In affecting the
style of the empire they had discounted
the sleeves next stage of shrinkage.
There was one awful moment when they
feared they would have TO acknowledge
themselves out of it, when some one
with brilliant mind said "globes. I"
And globes it is. They are the very
latest and they are just as close fit for
lamps as the up 10 date sleeve is for

The parishioners of st. Peters r. G.

modest on the outside this only prepares
one and makes the inside more sgppre-
ciable. The three affairs are models OF

has a background Of fancy carved ard
stained wood. The colors used in the
decorations are white and gold, symbols
of richness and purity. On the wau on
each sid of the altar two statues stre in
position.
The two small affairs, one on each side
OF the main altar, are also constructed
of carved and ain wood, the frame
work rising to an apex, and in the space
surrounded by the woodwork are painted
in rich scolors pictures portraying the life
of the Savior in Jerusalem.
The chancel lamp which hangs in front
of the centre of the main altar is one of
the handsomest now in use, and was pre-
scented to the passionate by the st. Vincent
de Paul Society several years ago, The
chain which supports the lamp is w
fifty feet in length and the body of the
lamp is of gold.
A feature of the interior decorations of
the church is the number of holy statues
which nave been placed in position on
pedesta1s attached to the pillars a few
feet above the pews. These statues are

skilled sculptor.
