To Make Thin Skirts.

Gathered skirts are quite the rage.
Any number OF thin gowns have been
made with the skirts shirred three or
four times around the top. The gather
ing, however, is not full. This would
spoil the effect, which must be long and
straight. Musiins and lawns are made
with lingerie tucks stitched in at the
top of the skirt, up and down, for about
the depth of a yoke. Going around the
bottom of the skirt are several rows of
tucks, in clusters of three, put above a
narrow hem. And " you are looking
for fetching model for a plain lawn
dress let me suggest little blse French
frock that is tucked in the way de-
scribed. The blouse is tucked to form
yoke, like the skirt, and the sleeves
are tucked up and down. There is nc
trimming Of lace or embroidery. There
is narrow girdle Of black velvet and
a russtte of velvet at the left side Of the
yoke. The bodice fastehs invisibly al

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.

Once on this peak above the cloud
The battle flags did fly;
The drum, the gun, the cannon loud,
With terror shook the sky,
And here, without prayer or shroud
Were many left to die.
Look now upon this upland field;
No trace of strife is here.
The scars of noisy war are healed
Forever and year,
And all the tombs of blood are sealed,
And rusted in the spear.
Proud peak! thou art the monument
Not of a peoples scars
Thou art the heaven. lifted tent
No blast of discord jars;
The home, mistaken and unrent,
OF all the unions stars.
Oh, nevermore about thy doors
The blaring trump shall sound;
Eternal as the sun that pours
His glory DER the ground.
Is that sweet peace which sings and soar
Upon thy heights profound.
The hearts that once with anger beat
Are knit for common good;
Wi hin the battles awful heat
| Together ran their blood;
And 10! they welded were to meet
| Whatever storm or flood.
Yea, they a'e one that once were two,
With twofold strength to stand,
With twofold throb to prove the true,
To quicken and expand,
And keep forever in the blue
The banner of the land.
And all thy brother hills, o peak,
Shall dip their flags to thee;
And ever thou shall proudly speak
The legend OF the free,
| Until all nations, hearing, seek
And find their liberty.
