JULIA DENT GRANTS COMPLETE TROUSSEAU,
Thirteen Handsome Walking Dresses be by
OantaCuzene her Russian Wedding Tour

the Miss Grant scarf. It consists of a
broad piece of silk to match the dress
goods. The ends are fastened in at the
upper arm seams, and after the bodice
is hooked the ends Of the scarf are
brought forward and tied in front in a
loose knot.
Bodices open very irregularly. This
one was hooked in the back, as far as
the yoke. Then it was fastened down
the front, the opening between yoke
and vest being hidden by the silk scarf.
The habit back of this skirt was
opened at the side. The foot of the
skirt was trimmed with a ripple of
golden rod silk above which there
was a broad band of black Limerick
insertion and above that several rows
of black silk braid.
MISS GRANTS HATS.
This most striking toilette was worn
by Miss Grant on one of her farewell
calling expeditions with her aunt.
Many of Miss Grants hats, for inter-
est centers in this rousseau, are tilted
hats. They are set well on one side and
trimmed with plumes. There are sew
eral of this description, differing from
one another only in the color of the
feathers and the tilt of the velvet. The
hat worn with the golden rod dress was
of dark brown felt deliberately trimmed
with yellow velvet and set with waving
plumes of several shades of brown.
There are several tailors in New York
who make speciality of remodeling
skirts that We're full in the back last
year into the habit skirts of this year.
A word to the wise on this subject is
sufficient. The rerQOdeling, while not
difficult must be done in the most thor
Ough way. Get pattern, then rip
every seam apart, even the front, cut
out the skirt, following the pattern, and
put together as though it were a new
skirt. No other way viii do; so radical
has been the change that it is impos-
sible to take out some breadths and in
sert others; the whole dress must be
cut over again.
Miss Grant has several lovely skirts
which are made to wear with odd
waists. One of these skirts is the palest
pearl gray, with habit back and braid
ing to simulate a tunic. You know how
it is done; the braid is sewed on in
many rows, one very close to the other,
and so shaped that it resembles a point

ed overskirt. Be careful that the braids-
are numerous enough; nine rows, if the
braid be narrow, are not too many.
NARROW SKIRTS.
Skirts are made extremely narrow, so :
narrow that you wonder if a petticoat
is to be worn. But do not make the
mistake Of trying to go without one;
the skirt will bind the knees and flap
in an awkward way; better wear a.
skirt however short, Of silk. :
Miss Grants oldest skirt from a.
fashion point of view, yet an extremely
ladylike one, is of gray and green plaid,
with immense squares covering the en-
tire face of the ma terial. 1t is perfectly
plain, with the trimming all under
meath. The skirt is to be lifted, being a.
street skirt, and underneath it are three
deep f1ounces or dust ruffies, all falling
the same length. They are made of.
gray and green plaid silk to exactly
match the dress skirt. This is a very-
pretty idea, and many women will copy
it. Say what you will about fashion
and custom, there are many women
who hesitate about displaying to a Curl
Gus world the brilliant, many-hued silk
skirts under a demure black or gray
dress. The silk skirt which matches the
dress material is just is Fascinating and
has a chic look which is indescribable. :
Miss Grants bodices are so very elab--
crate it is almost impossible to describe
them. One has a bolero of a contrast
ing goods, all made together, yet look
ing like waist and jacket. Nearly all
have the deep shoulders which are
fashionable. To make the low shoulder
effect it is only necessary to extend the-
material Of the yoke over the top of the
sleeve, simple yet very fashionable this
year.
One Of Miss Grants bodices has a.
yoke Of white insertion with the low
shoulder effect. A blouse of butternut--
colored silk is fastened over the shoul-N
ders with ribbons of brown. This is a.
simple yet very becoming little style. :
The most extravagant stories have
been told about Miss Grants trousseau }
and Mrs. Potter Palmer's generosity,
but probably they have not come up to-
the reality. The daughter Of the ma
ton" has no less than forty trunks, so
the Newporters affirm, filled with beau
tiful gowns, and awaiting her in Lon
don are several very large chests Of
goods. HELEN WARD. (

before, because it is an intelligent, not
a superstitious, reverence. The Won
ders which science and electricity are
revealing day by day but increase the
intelligent mans reverence for the
cause which underlies it all. Individ-
uals are thinking more for themselves
than OF old, and if our clergymen would
obtain listeners they must put them
selves in touch with the people and talk
of the things which interest them.
The public has reached a place where
it will not be forced into church pews to
listen to unintereSting orationS on
WORKOUT dogmas or impractical theo
ries.
People no longer like to be told what
to believe. They want to be helped to
live. There is great work for clergy
men in impressing upon men and wo-
men the necessity TO control temper
and criticism and seIishness-the three
things which destroy happiness in a
home and which would destroy it in
heaven.
And a happy home is the foyer to
heaven.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
She Gives Good advice to the Woman
and SEQ DIS

There is a good deal of complaint
made by clergymen that our churches
are not well filled.
The bicycle has been called a foe to
religion, because it took people out
doors into the temples Of Nature, in
stead of into church pews, on Sunday.
Again, the irreverent tendency of the
times has been referred to as a cause
for sparsely filed houses of worship.
But the times are not irreverent.
People are thinking more of spiritual
matters than for many decade.
They are thinking on broader and
more individual lines however, and the
old-fashioned orthodoxy does not ap-
peal to them.
The day is done for intelligent minds
to find interest in long dissertations on
Biblical miracles, or to feel time well
spent in listening to one mans inter
probation of a passage which has al
ready been through a dozen transla-
tons and lost all of its original mean
ing.
These are active, vital times, full of
import and purpose. What people want
from the pulpit is help and courage and

DAILY NEEDS.
They want to be braced for the con-
flict with petty worries and trials, and
strengthened to go through the ordeals
of temptation which assail every soul
every day in one way or another The
temptation to be ill-natured, selfish. in
dolent, jealous, revengeful or fault
finding are quite as dangerous to cur
peace of mind and to the happiness Of
others around US as the larger tempta-
lions to commit sins which are of Tarer
occurrence.
If clergymen talked more to people
about their home lives, and said less
about the future life, the latter would
take care Of itself.
The man who makes good husband
and father and citizen will make a good
angel when his time comes.
The woman who renders her home
the most peaceful and lovely place on
earth will adorn heaven when she
reaches there, and its gates will be
wide open to receive her.

1.-THE trouble with this court is
that IL is controlled BY one man
Senator Mcmillan. I'd bet that he
sent word that the bill should be

Gov. Pingree.
Now, Governor, you don't believe

other sane man. No Supreme Court
in the nation has a better reputa-
tion than Michigan's highest trib-
unal. Since the organization Of that
court-in the good old days when
there was less absinthe In our
politics-.its members have been dis
tinguished for wisdom and honesty.
1t is Michigan's proud boast that nc
member of her supreme judiciary has
ever disgraced the ermine. God
grant that she may always be able
to make that boast, and that the
time may never come when it can be
truthfully charged that the temple

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,

It may be q question whether the
editor Of newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
medicines which flood the
market, yet as preventive of suffer
Ing we feel It q duty to say q word
for amberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine In our family
for twenty years, and have always
found It reliable. In many cases a
dose of this medicine would save
hours of suffering while a physician
Is awaited. We do not believe In
depending implicitly on any medicine
for cure, but we do believe that II
a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand, and adj
ministered at the inception of an
attack much suffering might be
avoided and In very many cases the
presence of q physician would not be
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past twenty

The New York Sun claims that the
Grand Army of the Republic was an
important factor in electing the late
Rev. John p. Newman, Bishop Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, but ad-
mits that he made a very good Bish-
op. The candidates that the G. A.
r.. supports generally make very sat
isfactory officers. There has always
been very strong G. A. r. element
In the Methodist Church, and its In.
fluence has ever been for the best In
that denomination. The reason Is
that the church went into the war
for the suppression of the rebellion
with a solidarity and enthusiasm not
equaled by any other denomination.
There Is no doubt that the mass
of the members Of other sects
were equally patriotic and zeal
Gus, but none Of them brought the
whole weight of church discipline
to bear on the side of the Union like
the Methodists. Every Methodist
preacher was recruiting officer, and
every Methodist meeting war rally
and disloyal Methodist had a hard
time of it. Naturally. therefore, the
G. A. r. element is strong in Meth.

strong in the G. A. R.-Nat. Trib.
