war upon Trusts, not declaration OF

There is no joy in this world equal to the
happiness of motherhood. woman's health
is her dearest possession. Good looks, good
times, happiness, love and its continuance, de-
pend on her health. Almost all OF the sick
ness of women is traceable directly or Indirect
ly to some arrangement of the organs dis
tinctly feminine. Troubles of this kind are
often neglected because a very natural and
proper mOdesty Keeps women away from
physicians, whose insistence upon examina-

less as it is common. DIR. Pierce's Favorite

jeweled pins. Lace jabots and craVats
of every kind will be worn all through
the summer in all of those soft shades
of cream and butter-color that are so
infinitely more becoming than head

AS to the sailor collars there is prac
tically no limit to their variety, either
as regards fabric or shape. BY far the
most generally useful are those which
are made with long revers in front and
which can be worn over almost any
kind of coat or blouse with equal sue
cess. Some of the prettiest are made
in very fine null muslin, cut in the
shape ] have just described, and trim
med with wide insertions OF Nalen-
cienneS lace, which cross each other at
the corners of the collar and so make
very pretty effects, The collar itself
is then bordered with a fully gathered
frill of the same lace and continued
over the shoulders and down the front
in the form of narrow reyers, reaching
almost to the waist Cluny and Nal
tese laces of various designs are also
being used to trim similar collars maze
in linen and in fine lawn, While among
the Colored collars the prettiest are

member. The methods are much re-
fined and improved What would once
have been thought a rare facility is
now very common, both in verse and
prose. A story in the Atlantic or Har-
per's, that forty years ago would have
made an impression, is now compan-
Toned by twenty or thirty of almost
equal merit. The best of these take
precedence, of course, but all have a
measure of recognition and success.
There is more attention paid to what
people are doing now. The public has

But | think the turn of poetry will

signs of it's coming. I don't see why
story in verse should not be done again.
Don Juan and even the Odyssey are
really novels in verse.
Something as marked as the twi-
light of poetry is the decline of the
essay. The essayist has practically
disappeared from the field, in the sense
of any direct and immediate influence
on the public. This, too, is a compare
lively recent change.

now be content to influence the public

Emerson, Tennyson and Whittier Peo-

But now all that seems to be chang

poetical cycle. This evanescence of
poetry seems to me to be the most
marked change in imaginative liter
ature."
Just here I suggested Mr. Kipling.
THE Recessional' and 1.-The White
Mans Burden" Mr. Howells express
ed the deepest admiration for Kipling's
work, but in speaking of THE White
Mans Burden" he said:

poetry with an object, and it is, per-
haps, the most significant recent utter

The idea that it is our destiny to as

at all clear.
And since we have approached this

mo, writer's have not become more
timid with the changed conditions and
interdependence of modern life. They
are holder, decidedly. Very few men
are now afraid to say what they think
at all. A good deal that passes for
boldness and strong writing, is in re-
ality, quite the reverse. Any sort of
vehemence is an indication of weak
ness.
Refinement is a mode of strength,
and if a man is strong enough to hold
still and refine his work his reward is
almost certain, for delicacy is a proof
of power"
1t is a mistake to set Mr.. Howells
down as a stern critic. He sees what
ever good there may be, but cannot see
only good where there is evil. The hon
esty of clear vision compels him to see
good and evil even in the English
classics. However sharp he may be
over them, he is never ungenerous to
the men of his own time. No other
writer has ever aided by praise so many
young authors

green. A parasol of green and blue
chiffon goes with the dress. Another
green gown, also made for Mrs. Fish,
was driving costume of pale green
poult de sole, trimmed with accordeon-
pleated white silk ruffles. Over this is
worn long cloak of beetle-green chif-
fon, with trimmings of pompadour
satin. The cloak had a medici collar.
The paraSol is of a beetle green, en-
broidered in Brazilian beetles of gold
thread and iridescent beads The bon
net is pale green tulle, with ornaments
of Brazilian beetles and pompons of
white tulle A third gown, made for
Mrs. Potter Palmer to wear during the
coming season at Newport, was also
very beautiful. 1t was in three tones
of Nile-green satin and had a long train
of white lace. A pale green accordeon-
plated rutfie extended around the bot
tom of the skirt. The third tone of
green was found in curiously shaped
side panels of a deeper shade of this
color These were scalloped and en-
broidered in silver, green Transparent
cies for the newest midsummer after
noon dresses are in the decided ma
jOrity. One I saw was simply irresist-
able. 1t was Of string colored en-
broidered muslin, over a transparency
of pastel green taffeta. From beneath
a tunic oveskirt with an embroidered
edge appeared an under petticoat
trimmed with narrowly tucked foun-
ces, Van Dyked and graduating toward
the back. A drapery in fichu form of
embroidered muslin crossing the bodice
on one side, was caught at the waist
with two rosettes of baby-black ribbon
velvet, from whence it fell into a long
scarf, having embroidered ends. The
very fine and delicate silk gauzes
painted by hand, are among the most
favored fabrics of the moment, as you
