n some of the dresses, particularly
hose for young aides in their second
leason. There is in n model the tight
p part of the skirt, the fiaring low
er portion with beaded pas~senenterie
all around the bottom and a richly
draped waist trimmed also with passe-
menterie around the neck and in form
of a short bolero and also down the
front in Russian blouse form. The
illustration will show the elegant dra-
perry design, which is also carried out
on the sleeves.
This dotted taffeta is always in two
tints, like silvery white over salmon
or shell pink or pale blue, maize or jon
quill yellow or soft sage green. The
dots always are of the darker tint.
Daintier frock could not be found for
a very young lady han n of pure
white taffeta, with a deep ounce set
on in zigzags and made of white crepe
lisse. There is a ruching at the top of
the flounce which makes it appear as If
the silk was a tunic over the crepe
lisse. The baby waist was of lisse over
the silk, with a bertha made of large
white azaleas, with just a faint sus-
picion OF pink at the base of the petals.
Around the bottom of the lisse iounce
there were sewed hundreds of azalea
petals, forming a regular flounce, and
al the way up the lisse f1ounce were
scattered stray petals of the azalea,
fastened by a loose thread, so that they
huttered with every movement. 1t was
SO girlish and so dainty that I have
presented a picture of it for others to
copy. Rose petals or poppy leaves
would be pretty, too, or any flower
where the shape of the petals adapt
themselves.
Anoteer extremely pretty gown for
dancing or swell functions generally
where full dress is desired is of ashen
taffeta- Around the very edge is a
quilting Of gauze ribbon to match, and
around the upper part of the skirt in
front is a row of wide white lace in
curves. This row reaches to the bot
tom in the back and Stimulates a tunic.
The waist is low and the silk draped
around from the left shoulder to the
right side in the back in a moSf grace
full Sashion. 1t is draped the opposite
way in front. Across the front is a
fall of white lace headed by a very
narrow ruching of white crepe lisse.
In the back this is changed to a COM
pick bertha with silk, lace, crepe Iisse
raDln and rucElng n on tue leAl
shoulder a bunch of White violets with
green leaves.
Draped around the waist is a long
sash of white silk null tied in four
short loops and long ends. These ends
have clusters Of narrow lisse ruches
crossing them. No gown could be much
handsomer. 1t could be developed in
almost any Of the less expensive and
e~easonable goods.
The pretty c~harnbrays would make up
really well sitter this model, using lace
and ribbon quilting. charnbray is
among the very prettiest Of all the sea-
sons wash fabrics. G~renadine is also
among the materials that could be used
Tor this design. A gliinape could be
worn with 1t il SO desired. II is the
arrangement Of the waist drapery-and

Here is a portrait of the future Duke

whose veins is mingled the most aris-
~tocratic blood of England and the most

PRESENT-DAY THOUGHTS.
BY G. GRosvESoR DAVE.

The New Man as a citizen,-The indi-
vidual beads do not constitute necklace
The cord that passes through them ex-
plains the sinuous grace with which they
lie upon the bosom OF beauty. Sever the
cord and the collective grace is gone.
The new man, as a citizen, understands
fully that the one thing which imparts
value and interest to his life is the fact OF
his being in and of and permeated by
racial claims. He knows-and it moulds
his lite-that were he thrust out alone and
defenseless into the wilds OF forest land he
would wage a losing battle against the
bosterous forces of nature. Part of his
political creed, therefore, is that the best
things of life-the protection, the mutual
aid, the transfer OF helpful ideas and
almost perfect supremacy over nature
come from the fact that he holds by his
fellows and his fellows hold by him.
Consequently the new man, as citizen,
is opposed in every possible way to the
fierce individualism that will make man
eXclaim every man for himself and the
Dell take the hindmost' This makes
him opposed to those things that are
selfish in the behavior either of citizens
who rule or citizens who are ruled. He is
against thievery and jobbery in high
places, and equally against apathy and
neglect OF privilege in low places. You
must not argue with him that greed is an
instinct and that self preservation is the
first law, for he can show you mum berless
evidences from the history of this race of
ours TO prove unseltishness and self
sacrifice unto death-to have been
the highest possible gain to the race as
whole. In the continuation of the DIS
eussien lac will insist that you do not drag
it down 10 the individual basis; for, to go
back To the necklace illustration, he VIII
show you that it is the string Of common
life that ties US together in one interest
and one benefit.
An individual bead can be taken, and
yet there Will still be a necklace. SO, too,
an individual life can drop out, yet the
stream OF life will go on leading us to The
understanding that an individual life is of
merit only as 1t brings beauty and
strength and honor to the glorious whole
of which 1t is a minor part.
Tue new man. as a citizen, is going to
bring TO pass in ever increasing degree
this test Of mans merit not Did he
die rich OF did he gain individual honor?"
but Ibid he feel his social obligations and
thus leave The race a gamer by his life?n

Twilight Hills of DE dhaIn.

The twilight fields with sheep in numbers feed
ing
Down the green sides of one OF Junc's fair bills
The distant note- of sleepy birds at random
out through the fragrant night air meet the
riils
That tinkle as they drop from rock to rock
Among these vision crowned and spring EN-
bosomed hills.
Oh, Dedham, lying with thy white farmhouses
LIKE sheep broadcast, feeding among thy ways,
The natural grandeur that surrounds and
crowns you,
Holds my soul drunken In amaze;
The Holy City surely hath not entertainments
Grander than bounds the horizon of thy days.
Thy people, do they lift their eyes about them?
In the iunuent silence OF these nights in June,
The world Is moving here before them to the
most ajestic tune,
Nature and the deep concord of things diylncst
Mingle in one penetrating and impenetrable
rune.
Stately thy hills among, o Dedham,
The night with gracious presence stops amid.
The sweet light of day with all It's swelling
power OF blessing
Slips from each field aud flower and twig,
But by naught save the annihilating darkness
Can the exceeding beauty of thy hills be hid.

energy. We have ceased to spread our
selves thin over broad area and the waves
OF population roll back more and more
upon the towns and cities. The new man
sees that this cannot go on indefinitely, in
its past needless way, without straining
our social fabric to its very foundation.
He it is who sees that tenements are light
and airy, that breathing spaces are re-
served in perpetuity, that life is in every
way rendered more human both for him
self and for others. He it is who suggests
and carries out vast plans OF municipal
improvement, whose benefits will be
enjoyed solely by future generations and
whose burdens are borne most heavily by
this.
The new man, as citizen, Will be
prompt to acknow ledge that every great
question has two sides Consequently
though he will not be lacking in very
definite opinions upon all public questions,
yet fierce partnership will be far from
him and, in its place, only courtesy and
charity towards those who oppose him.
He also sees that the triumph of an idea

CATION upon the shoulders OF the victor
1t may be well said that things have not
always been so. Very we'll; the new man
will reply that ''the world moves" and he
will also tell you and prove to you that the
pendulum movement in political triumphs
-. L.. b.,
party in power has forgotten that it was
administering for the whole people.
The new man, citizen, is going to
bring to pass a better day of cleaner
politics; for he is to declare that man
who is morally unfit for his companion
ship or the courtesies of his home is
politically unfit to receive his vote He
understands that Notwithstanding those
who see with him are few at present, yet
their strength is not to be counted by
numb ers for be has the utmost faith in he
pervasive power of a right idea.
The increase of his kind will bring back
into political life men of strong character
and of leisure. He will demand as time
progresses more and more real trust of
the people, SO that we shall hope to see as
part OF the machinery OF future govern
ment the referendum vote, by reason of
which all important actions of legisla-
ture shall be referred back to the people
them selves for final decision. And his
contention viii be that while alas bad
legislation can be bought by schemes
among a few men the purchase of the
ma joFlty of he voters in a state would be
out OF the question. But running along
beside his efforts to give the people real
voice will be Il constant effort to educate

FIND OUT YOURSELF.

Why ask physician to find out wheth-
er your Kidneys are diseased. Take a

there is sediment after standing twenty

you have desire to urinate often, a pain
in the back, or if your urine stains linen,
you should at once take DIR. David Ken

First Presbyterian Congregation Re-
spends Splendidly to an Appeal in n
Remarkably BricfTime.
An incident Of the services yesterday
morning at the First Presbyterian
church demonstrated in q remarkable
manner the loyalty and liberality Of
the congregation. when, without having
had previous notice. the sum of about
$1,000 was contributed within half
hours time. after the statement was
made that the sum OF $4,000 was needed
by the board OF trustees in order that
the church should begin Its new year
free from deficit. The remainder Of the
amount will be contributed by members
who were absent yesterday.
After the sermon by DR.. Cunningham
and the conclusion Of the regular SER
vice, q committee composed of the ell
ders and board of trustees, through the
chairman, stated the financial situation
and asked the congregation to subscribe
the amount required. The attendance
was not greater than II usually Is in
good weather. and the request was un-
expected by many. but there was n
ready response. and within very brief
time subscriptions volunteered in sums
ranging from $3.50 to S. from the mem
bers present aggregated the amount
above stated. large number suescrlb-
ing from twenty-five TO fifty dollars
each.
1t is not often that so ready re-
Spouse Is made to such an appeal In so
brief 4 time, and the result was most
gratifying to the church officials and to
the membership In general. 1t indicated
the interest that is being taken In the
welfare of the church by the members.
