The Bravest Battle.

The bravest battle that ever was fought;
Shall l tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find
II not:
Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay. not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or thought.
From mouths of wonderful men,
But deep In walled-up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield.
But bravely silently. bore her part
10! there Is that battlefield.
No marshaling troops, no bivouac song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But, oh! these battles, they last so long.
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet faithful still as bridge of stars
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on and on in the endless wars,
Then silent, unseen-goes down.
Oh, We with banners and battle shot.
And soldiers to shout and praise,
/ tell you the kingliest victories fought
Were fought in these silent ways
Oh, spotless woman In a world of shame!
With splendid and silent scorn.
Go back to God as white as you came.
The kngliest warrior born!

FASHIONS PARASOLS.
Some of the Latest Fancies In Seasons
Sunshades.

Some of the Latest Fancies In Seasons
Sunshades.
If the woman who uses a parasol
would be particularly far in advance
of her feminine rivals this summer
she will buy herself the very latest
creation in parasol ingenuity, the sun
shade with square edges. 1t is not
thing Of beauty, perhaps, but at least
1t Is strikingly odd and to be odd Is
at least to be noticed. The square
parasol is covered with a bandana
handkerchief in the gaudiest pattern
obtainable and the effect is certainly
bizarre and unusual. The newest
club shaped, and some Of them are
adorned with punches of flowers and
fruit. Among the elaborate handles
wooden ones are seen mounted in gold
and silver and set with real or imita-
ton jewels. Ivory, coral, and lapis
lazuli are also cut up into the parasol
handles. Parasols for morning SER
vice are always Of plain design and
material. Silk Is, of course the rule.
For carriage use white satin sun
shade Is always desirable requisition
and It may be beautified by lace but
terflies and flowers appliqued upon the
satin. One of the fancy shades shows
a parasol formed of stitched bands of
white taffeta put together with strips
Of insertion and hemstitching.-Chi

the worst reputation in the county.
why not?"
You don't know anything about

Don't I? He's the most charming
man l ever met, and l certainly said
yes"
What will mother say?" I asked,
as Joan, not at all discounted at my
cool reception of her news, left the
room, humming the refrain Of a
song.
Perplexed with the situation that
had suddenly arisen l went down
stairs to find our old friend and neigh

and ended by asking his advice.
Ten minutes later he said:
This is my idea. Joan is impress
sionable. l have an old friend in town
who has rare knack of fascinating
girls; I'll get him down for a weeks
shoot. If he devotes his time to Joan
it may destroy her inclination for
Avonmouth."
The plan seemed feasible. prayed
that Joan's affections would be divert
ed from their Objectionable object.
Two days later l received a note
from Jack saying that his friend had
accepted the invitation and was COM
ing today.
When descended about luncheon
time, Jack and his friend were the
only occupants of the drawing room.
Let me introduce you to my old
friend, Claud Blackwood," said Jack.
I gave my hand mechanically. My
thoughts were concerned with Joans
future.
Later noticed that he had fine eyes
and there was plenty of him, but all
the same was disappointed. Perhaps
expected too much.
Soon Lord Avonmouth and Joan
strolled in from the garden, and, after
the usual commonplace, we went in
to luncheon. Before half an hour had
passed l discovered that Capt. Black
wood fascinated me, and to such an
extent that l almost forgot my fears
with regard to Joan. She, too, seemed
interested. Her white muslin dress,

ception Of the contrasting touch in the
trimmings. There will be no stripes
or figures upon the entire pique suits.
The patterned materials will be lin.
tied to separate skirts. 1t cannot be
conscientiously claimed for the pique
suit that 1t is an article of economy.
To the contrary, 1t is tailor-made and
costs almost as much as the stuff
gowns. 1t is, however. very chic, and
this consoles the woman of fashion
for her reckless expenditure. Two
very pretty models displayed in ad.
vance of the summer season are de.
scrlbed. One Is in French black pique,
relieved by strappings of white. The
white bands outline a double tunic
upon the skirt and are employed upon
the bodice to accentuate the curves
of the figure. There is a wide lapel
upon the bodice, made of white pique
and stitched with black linen thread.
A gown in striking contrast to the
one Just mentioned is developed in
white and stitched with bands of per-
venche colored thread and the lapels
of the jacket are of the same color
pique, bordered with bands Of white.
Underneath the jacket is worn a waist
of sheer white linen.

Summer Fabrics.

Some very smart gowns are being
shows at the moment for summer
wear. Cotton and linen fabrics have
never been SO alluring. The silky eff
feet added to the great variety of
rAulls, batistes, zephyrs, linens, organ
dies and other warm weather mate
rails renders them more than ever de-
sirable and attractive Many of the
cotton materials thus treated, either
in plain or fancy patterns, have much
Of the lustre of an India silk or satin
foulard. The linens are especially at
tractive and are being used for entire
gowns, skirts, waists and even trim
mings. Nothing could be more SER
viceable or stylish than the colored
linen suits made with plain or tucked
skirts and modified sailor blouse
waists. These are sometimes strapped
in white braid and others are adorned
with coarse lace in collar form, with
cuffs and girdle matching. No pref
tier finish can be imagined than the
heavy ecru lace thus applied to brown
or blue duck or linen dresses. These
are admirable for morning wear. En-
broidered Holland is a favorite this
year among the summer fabrics, and
pique treated with incrustations of
coarse lace is as effective as it Is strik-
ing. Pique and duck costumes will
again be worn. Some piques shown
are quite light in weight, having an
open work dot, really an eyelet hole
that IS worked around with hand or
machine embroidery. The fashion that

are the correct thing. and the thin ma
terials, like embroidered muslin, wash

1t is not generally known that in
