Best Wishes Of John Bull.

You've loosed the dogs of war, lad,
And sworn the end shall be
Of bondage on your borders,
And that Cuba shall be free.
And though I'm standing by
My hearts a beating high,
To see my kith and kin
To battle marching in. .
l like your noble pluck,
And / wish you best of luck.
Here's your health, lad-take a pull,
With best wishes from John Bull.
And though I'm standing neutral.
I'll back you with good wishes,
And III see you get fair play.
! must keep to neutral laws,
But I'll give you my applause,
And should bad luck betide,
Maybe something more beside,
For who've better right to be
Cheek by jowl than you and me?
Here's your health, lad-take pull,
With best wishes from John Bull!
Your ancestors and mine, lad,
Three hundred years ago.
Did battle for old England
When she fought the Spanish, foe.
And King Philips great Armada
Came looming to invade her,
With thumbscrews slowed aboard,
For the glory of the Lord.
Six score and ten of sail
They came, but came to fail.
Here's your health, lad-take a pull
With best wishes from John Bull!
Why we should not be friends, lad,
/ could never understand,
It's evil tongues, believe me,
That estrange you from my land.
From the Pilgrim Fathers sprung,
Your speech is England's tongue,
. And though proud in power and peif,
You've set UP for yourself,
j never can forget
You're a blood relation yet.
Here's your health, lad-take a pull

And TO separate our hearts.

and other portions of the dress. With
these sashes the narrow-folded belt is
still preferred to the wider ones, except
perhaps, when the waist is uncommon
ly long and slim or the gown in spe-
cial empire style.
The very elaborate trimmings on
summer gowns have proved remark
ably charming, the airy textiles being
easily manipulated, lending themselves
very readily and gracefully to all the
innumerable requirements of the sea-
sons modes; but many of these trim
mings will necessarily be eliminated on
costumes and toilets formed of heavier
materials. The possibilities, however,
of elegant and novel effects gained by
the artistic use of manifold rich au-
tumn colors on a single gown, have
been studied by leading fashion design
ers. and it is likely that the new gowns
with their new effects, will prove quite
as taking and stylish, in their way as
the excessively decorated models of the
present time.
Toilets of crepe de Chine in all their
varied and exquisite colorings, are con-
spicuOuS among the smartest and most
gracefully worn gowns at the various
fashionable watering places this sum-
mer.
For the woman who cannot afford
many gowns the plain bodice is, per-
haps, the best she can elect for. With
this can then be worn-in these days of
countless waist accessories-all sorts of
tasteful and varied fitments. 1t serves
as a background and foundation of Ell
ther Jackets, fichus, berthas, collarettes,
or fancy fronts of lace. chiffon, ribbon,
satin, etc, all more or less elabore te.
The various collar bands attached to
these different accessories held to ad-
just and keep them in position, and
the slightly pouching drapery at the
waist is attached to a belt sash or
girdle, or the front may be carefully
held in position by number of little
fancy stick-pins. Changes innumer-
able, effective, and not expensive, may
be wrought by this economical mode of
always looking well and freshly
dressed.

Every woman by this time realizes
that the style and shape Of a gown OF
one year is not admissible in fashion
ranks the year following. The sheath
like skirts of to-day are quite unlike
those worn last summer, with their
voluminous breadths untrimmed Bear
this in mind, and never have more than
the requisite number of gowns in your
wardrobeS. To mistake here is to in
volve a loss. To bring last years gown
up to this years requirements costs
often as much as new one, and is not
always satisfactory at that.
Charmingly light and delicate are the
toilets for midsummer, with waists Of
shirred, tucked and pleated mousseline
de sole and skirts Of white or tinted
silk or Liberty satin. A lovely gown
of canary -colored peau de sole has a
waist of mousseline de sole the same
shade, laid in very fine pleats, alternat-
ing with frilly rows of shirring edged
with very narrow Valenciennes lace. A
ruffie of the pleated mousseline is ar
ranged on the left side of band of en-
broidered silk muslin, which goes
across the waist and forms the belt
and collar. The close sleeves are made
over very thin canary silk, and are
shirred and lace-edged to match the
waist on the outside of the arm its en-
tire length. The silk skirt has three
ruches of mousseline de sole laid over
silk. finely shirred, and set on about
twelve inches apart.
Transparent materials and other
beautiful summer woods are combined
In some of the most stylish and attract
i've gowns of the season.
With the picturesque large hats of
the summer laden with flowers, tulle,
feathers and lace, and the ruffles, over
skirts and floating draperies, sashes
of necessity are the invariable accom-
paniment, and these are not only seen
on toilets of every sort of diaphanous
character, but on those of weightier
material More of the sashes of either
description are knotted or rosetted at
the back than tied in the usual way
with bows or long loops half the length
of the SASH When these are seen the
ribbon is extremely wide, and of an ex-
pensive sort, the ends deeply fringed.
Many of the surah and other silk sashes
are cut in rounded shape at the ends,
and finished with scalloped rows of
lace-shirred footing. ruches, or frills
matching the trimmings on the gown.
On a dress of soft fawn or nuns gray,
a sash of white silk, trimmed on the
ends with narrow white lace, is most
dainty and charming. Inch-wide satin
ribbon in white or colors, is likewise a
most effective garniture, when this
forms the decoration of the fiounces

common sense. But theologians and
ecclesiastics commonly forget or ignore
the simple law of unity, which is Seek
first the agreements. then deal with the

rellglous unity which has ever been
taken in America will be in order as
soon as all liberal thinkers in the Pres

ist and Congregationalist churches
come together and make a statement of
the things which they can all accept
without dissent. They might begin by
making a selection of hymns which
could be put into the list without one
dissenting voice. There would be
Nearer, My God, to Thee Lead, Kind
ly Light etc. When the list of
hymns was complete, an analysis of
the doctrines taught in them would

Now the coadjutor of the Archbishop
