The efforts put forth by our Marietta
ministers in earnest appeals, loving

convince men and women and win
them to Christ, are largely thread cast

good influences tend TO better men and

edge 1t or not. Christianity makesciv-
ilization possible, and conserves to pro-
tect life and sayeit.

HER MEETING WITH HENRY cLAT
An Anecdote Related by Miss Crosby, tho
Blind Hymn Writer.

One OF the anecdotes related by Fanny Jane
Crosby. the blind hymn writer. concerns her
meeting with Henry Clay. Clay had been in
vited to visit the Institution for the Blind. at
Thirty-fourth street and Ninth avenue.
Il was but a girl at the time. not yet out OF
my teens" she said at her Brooklyn home.
but l had had considerable experience. and
while not reasonably known to Mr.. Clay, l had
written little things and sent them to him. One
In particular which l had sent to him about
that time was upon the death Of his son. which
was fresh in his mind. for he referred to 1t when
he began speaking to us.

carriage and alighted. All the girls were ma r

than In the back. while in others there Is a re-
verse order OF things, leaving a wide margin
for choice. While a gown without an overskirt
is rather the exception. there are some pretty
trimmed skirts which are very attractive. A
model In gray nuns yelling. for example. has
two fve-inch circular rufles around the bot
tom. with an inch-wide fold Of gray tafeta silk
stitched on the edge OF each one. Five bands
OF the yelling. each one formed OF three narrow
box plaits. extend down the front and back a
little distance apart. falling in a loop over the
rufies. and the outer band extends around the
hips a few inches below the waist line. An
other model in foulard has rows OF lace inser-
ton set in up and down on either side Of q
wide front breadth. The remaining portion Of
the skirt Is q wide gathered 1ounce Of silk
and Alternate bands OF insertion. rounding up
in the back and attached to the close fitting
part above.
Some Of the overdresses are cut without any
seam at all. except in front or at the side where
they open. The effect might be extremely
ugly II 1t were not for the wide bands OF lace
insertion which encircle them their entire
length. One very novel overdress on a foulard

ing the yoke. which. OF course. Is not entirely
new except in the idea OF extending the
trimmed portion so nearly down to the elbow.
Sleeves Of all the dressy gowns are very much
trimmed with tucks or insertions Of lace. but
quite close fitting.
The bodice is a modified example OF those
which have been worn for a year. At least tho
pouch front is still in sight. with very little
~fulness. and while the backs are plain In some
OF the gowns others have the becoming little
plaits at the belt. The collar bands are high at

yoke in almost every instance. but a pretty

at the upper edge. or taffeta silk il a lighter
effect is desired.
Pale blue in all the mauve shades and white
and soft. dull red and white are the most fash
ionable combinations Of color in the foulards.
The daintiest OF all. however. are the cr6pcs de
chine and nuns %vcilings. the latter in pale gray
with white embroidered dots being especially
pretty. Whatever the material may be. light
delicate colors are the thing fashion favors. The
general tone OF dress. in every degree OF thick

expensive beyond anything which the material
itself can suggest: but then women are being
educated up to the required STANDARD OF high
prices for gowns, and nothing in that line can
feaze them. In fact, the higher the price the

Milliners' folds are one OF the varied forms OF
trimming revived this season. being especially
noticeable on the ioulard gowns. Three folds.
with one row Of very narrow cream white silk
braid sew on near the upper edge. trim a red

dress. A narrow knife plating OF the silk
finishes the edge. and the folds are sewn on
above. with a space their own width between
them. Tiny insertions or henstitched effects

trimming is the use of cloth cut in narrow
stripes. not much wider than baby ribbon. and
threaded in through a lace yoke. forming a de-
sign. The gown in one instance is soft red
and white foulard and the cloth a deeper shade
OF the same color. The upper half Of the

above the elbow. is also OF lace with cloth
decorations. Many Of the new sleeves are
