Autumn and early winter hats come in

nave a toque built to order of the same

adding a huge flower or buckles and

ers of velvet in contrasting colors. but
the browning triumphs of millinery are
felt hats splashed with dots in velvet or

the biggest peoples remind one of the
frog that tried to be an OK; they burst
with tloppishness. Novelties that will
have something of a run are black velvet
toques trimmed solely with autumn
leaves.
Empire dresses, I LAY said, are not yet
in evidence, except for evening wear.
One imported for the young daughter of
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has a pink satin
skirt with a short train. This is orna.

squares. A long tunic of white. empire

in a deep embroidered border of roses.

empire dress, it must be said. can be as
graceful with a tunic as when only a sin

The bolero and the eton coat are in high
favor for return, as well as the box coat
and the empire long cloaks and capes
of every length and description. In
wraps indeed one is allowed to be alto
gether electric. The richest and most ex-
travagant of all wraps are the ulsters
and capes of fur or brocade with sweep
ing trains. One of the richest of the en-
pire ulsters is Of black velvet, and has
it's high girdle, its big revers, it's towering
collar and its tiny shoulder capes in
crusted with cream lace. It's sleeves are
tight and small, fitting into lace cuffs.
Rows of lace insertion run down the
seams.
The box Goa with pockets by the dozen
is a boon for driving and for other
sporty" uses. That without modifica-
ton women will adopt it for general wear
is past believing. The most likely change
in it is the addition of a belt to do away
with it's clumsy fullness; this belt. as in
case of the empire cloaks, will fasten just
under the arms.

at all behind. The tunic fastens on the
left with large enamel buttons and is
loW-cut over a yoke of silk to match the
skirt. Bands of m~ulti-colored oriental
embroidery deck the tops of the sleeves.
Pseudo tailor dresses of velvet en-
broidered with designs In lace and worn
with redingote tunics are ready for cold

has the velvet skirt of warm currant red

BY A FRIEND.


BY A FRIEND.
Again the pale-faced messenger
Has taken from your view
The form Of one you loved most dear.
A SON and brother true.
Not by lingering illness
Was his body racked and torn.
But at word the blow was struck.
His spirit heavenward borne.
God knows each one of his children;
He makes each virtue bright
He sees each care and trial
That draws US toward the light
In this true child He'd surely seen
The patience, love and trust
That make the soul with brightness glow
That makes ii pure and just.
God knew that he was ready.
For oft when sorely tried
He only chung the closer
To Jesus loving side.
So while our hearts are heavy
With grief. and pain. and woe.
Let's look to God. our Father.
Who guards US here below.
We thank Him for this noble life.
So strong. and true. and pure.
We know such sterling virtue:
Eternally endure.
Shall we not trust our Father.
Who marks cen the sparrow's fall,
And in this time Of trial say.
THY will It's best for all"

SATURDAY, MAY II.
OUR BAXTER LIBRARY.

EDITOR NEWS: Last winter the
two colored teachers In our public
school asked us II there were any
professional works or teaching in
our Baxter Library and we were
compelled to answer in the mega.
tive. We called their attention to a
volume of John Lords works with
which every lady should be famil.
lar, and they were satisfied and
highly pleased.
Since the wise beginning of our
new school board and the hope of
a bright future we have concluded
to begin the work of a Teachers
Library in one corner of our Baxter
Library. The first work we place
on the shelf of this department is
school Supervision" by William
II. Payne, the present Horace Mann
of America, and whose works are
highly recommended by W. T. Har-
ris, head of the Bureau of Educa-
ton of the United States. This vol.
ume lie for the Special use of our
school board, the superintendent
and the subordinate teachers, and
those who would be teachers and
members of the school board in the
future. The next two works we
would place upon those shelves are
a work upon Pedagogics and an.
mother smaller work called Pebblas.
Here 10 what Hon. Newton Bate.

things which every young teacher
should know, and feel, and be, and

of that honored place to which he
o .,ires in our noble profession.
My young brethren, get the book,
read il, read it all; study il, master
its truths, imbibe it's spirit, actual
ize it's precepts and suggestions in
your work. II will illumine and
transfigure that work. 1t will help,
strengthen, uplift and inspire YOU"
This is what J. NJ. Greenwood, 80
long superintendent of Kansas
City, says of the latter: "Tbe author
was charged full of educational
electricity, and he has conveyed to
the teachers of this country the
condition of his own soul in pointed,
terse and emphatic English. In
reading each paragraph l felt like
going into the school room and
putting more fully, If possible, my
whole soul into the recitations. !
believe the effect produced on my
mind will be experienced by every
teacher who reads this volume.
Such book is always helpful, be.
cause it stimulates to nobler, high.
er, and better sustained effort. II
is just such book as every teacher
needs to read twice year while
teaching school"
