STRIPES l4.IlI4ug G4U4.4l., Ina there were
IL narrow lengthwise tucks. The collar
and cuffs were OF the same, but on the
bias. A very dainty pink chambray had
"a narrow ~lengthwise tucks and a white
fold down the center. The collar and
cuffs were white. A black string tie is
to be worn with 1t.
The crayat or tie worn with these diff
ferent waists has much to do with
their style. A rich shell pink ham
bray waist had a wide bow of mordore
satin of the richest quality tied in a
double bow with ends. There was a
satin stock of the same. A gray madras
shirt waist had a high white collar,
with a cravat of ruby in tulip leaf
points and one center fold.
These are but few and very few out
of all we saw. My little friend flut-
tered about like In inconsequent but
terf1y here and there, seeing n waisf
eclipsed in some way by the next and
not being able, after all, to make a
choice.
I'll sleep over it, she said, "and in
the morning I'll know just exactly what
I want, and as like as not the very ones
I want will be gone"
/ said nothing. but mentally reversed
the order of the closing words Of John
Gilpin's Ride" II won't be there to see."
Surely shirt waists will never go out
of fashion SO long as they are so very
beautiful and so very useful. Even the
most of the wash dresses have the full
yoke waist, so that one could speak Of
1t among the shirt waists.
Among the novelties for spring one

with ruched ribbon and applique of
simulated bolero. Of rich maltese lace
sewed fiat, and around the skirt just
above the knees was a row of the same
rich lace four inches wide.
The Dewey flounce has had its day,
and now the tunic is the rage. There
are various kinds of tunic effects. Those
where there is a sharp point front and
back, with the sides much shorter,
seem to be the best liked. Next to them
are those where the fronts are rounded
off. This is often simulated by trim
ming. There IS a bias fold cf the ma
terial, and over the edges Of this Is a
row of black passenenterie. This par
ticular gown has 4 vest of black silk
covered with the passementerie and
over hat a plain bolero Of the whip
cord. It makes a stylish tailor cos
tune.
Another style of tunic is where there
Is a princess overdress. One In this
style is a so called tailor suit of dark
blue ~cravanette. There are two SER
pentine %founces, each with a milliner's
roll Of satin. The oYtrdress-polonaise
or princess tunic, whichever you like
to call it's stitched three times around
and fastens down the front invisibly.
There is a white satin vest front, and
six straps button across this. In the
back 1t is simply a princess shape.
The other style of skirt is fitted close
1y to the hips and fares a little atseach
breadth from the knees down. This
style has from seven TO nine cores. That
gives it a very perceptible flare.
A pretty example of this shape is
called ia campanula." The material
is a light fawn and white plaid, with g
c~urlycue OF white. braid. The. waist is

CHRISTIAN WORKERS
WILL MEETAT NINTH iNTERNATloN-
AL SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

20 -ZYn
Two Thousand DcIegates to Gather
In Atlanta ON April 27-They Rep
resent over 22,5O0,0O0 sundAy
School Scholars.
Representatives Of over 22,500. 900 Sum
day school scholars will meet In At
lanta On April 27. There will be nearly
1000 delegates, and they will be sent
there to speak for the 1856, 600 Sunday
schools of North America.
This convention is the ninth triennial
gathering of the international organiza-
ton. The delegates are chosen on a
basis of population, the number Of dele
gates being four times the representa-
ton allowed in congress. Delegates will
come from every state and territory in
the United States, the British North
American possessions, Cuba. Porto Rico
and Hawaii. New York will have the
largest representation. IA, while Cuba
will have the smallest, sending w o del
egates.
The movement which in recent years
has developed into the International
Sunday School association originated in
Philadelphia In 1892, when the first or
ganization, which embraced only the
territory of the United States, was
formally perfected. Hon. Theodore
Frelinghuysen of New Jersey was he
first president.
Conventions of this body were held at
irregular intervals until 1875, When it
finally merged into the International
Sunday School association. Baltimore
was the place in which this evolution
occurred.
Subsequent conventions of the Inter-
national Sunday School association
have been held in Atlanta in 1878, in
Toronto in 1881, in Louisville in 1884, in
Chicago in 1887. in Pittsburg in 1890, in
St. Louis in 1893 and in Boston in 1896.

in the country have been identified with

fruit that they figure ON every well or
ganized dinner table, and the little trick,
when performed as an after-dinner feat,
is really quite startling.
An apple with a firm, smooth skin
should be selected. Take a long, slender
~darning needle and thread it with silk or
cotton. Linen thread is perhaps the best,
as it is not so liable to break. Begin at
the stem and take a long stitch under
the skin of the apple, being careful not
to go so deep that the point of the need
lie does not readily emerge. Take another
| stitch in the same direction, sewing right
around the apple, exactly as you would
cut it in half. When the thread comes
out again near the stem, take the two
ends in each hand, cross them and pull
steadily. The thread will, of course, cut
the apple in two, leaving no mark on the
skin, and without breaking it beyond the
tiny holes made by the needle, which are
quite Invisible. BY repeating the per-
formance in different parts of the apple
1t may be cut into quarters and eighths,
and on being peeled will fall into these
sections.
A very interesting little experiment in
seed growing may be made indoors by
means of apiece of Canton fannel placed
over three or four wires on top of a basin
of water. The Canton flannel must be kept
moist and allowed to sag into the water
| where the flower seeds are deposited. In
two or three days the seeds will swell
and begin to sprout, even producing pri-
mordial leaves, so that the whole process
of successive vegetation may be studied
from day to day. Seeds like peas and
beans, containing a good deal of albumen,
may be planted in earth after they have
begun to sprout and will flower and pro-
duce fruit later, but more chaffy seeds ex-
haust themselves without the earth nour-
ishment.
