Didn,t THINK, Didn,t Krov

didn't think! 1 didn't know!
How many tell that tale of woe,
when failure reaches out a hand,
And stops them with her stern command.
And with her pointed finger asks
why have you weakened at your tasks7
Il didn't Think Inside your head
God set the think-works, but instead
OF winding them with heliest thought
1ou let them rust-the clock struck naughtI
Il didn't know!" Yet YOU have eyes.
And ears and tongue, but you despise
The simplest things that wise men take +
For tools to win success, and shake
The grasp OF failure from their arm
In shop or factory. or farm;
You fail and mutter as you go,
didn't Think / didn't know!

Let us he Patient.

Let US be patient, you and I;
Let us, like watchful guardsmen, make
Our hearts haven for the sake
OF those that drift, they know not WHY.
Let us be patient Let us keep
Our watch-fires faithful as Gods stars.
Whatever storm or shadow mars
The breath of LIES uncertain deem.
Let us be patient. Let men trace
No frown, no insincerity,
In skies of ours, that all may see
Gods presence In His child's calm face.

frocks.
At the play the other night Lady
Mary Sackville was gowned in some
black gauzy material embroidered in
cut jet.
Her gown was cut away from the
neck in the new shallow square decol.
lete and it was yelled with blue ma
terisl. Lady Mary wore wisp Of blue
material about her throat under her
jewels.
Collars Of full cell jet strung on dia-
mond bars set in gun metal are the
dernier cri. BY the way, to wear with
these quaint semi-decollete bodices the
neatest crepe de chimes are in black,
with big splashy designs in white wan
dering over them.
These crepe de chimes promise t,
rival, il not outshine, the perennial
foulards that have been in vogue so
long. The crepe de chimes have the
virtue of novelty, but the foulards re-
tain their virtue OF coolness-so it seems
likely they will yet win out"
The smartest foulards are in black
with white polka dots Of graduated
sizes.
Some of the most desirable of these
foulards have borders formed of the
polka dots as we'll.

Mrs. Henry Burnett is wearing at

collar of exquisite lace being the only
touch that breaks its absolute severity.
With this gown Mrs. Burnett wears
bonnet-really bonnet-that suggests
the old-fashioned poke. 1t has two
black ostrich feathers for it's only trim

FASHION LETTER T..
Lady Modish in Black.

EVEN THE CHILDREN WILL BE SOM
BRE CLAD THIS SEASON.
Black promises to be the most domi-
nant note 10 the wardrobes OF the Mo-
dishes this season.
American women OF fashion have al
ways shown strong inclination to at
feet gowns OF this sombre hue. but the
fashion makers of Paris have never
encouraged the fancy either at home or
abroad. Consequently, really smart
black frock has been. since time i'm
memorial, one Of the almost impossible
things to find among the model gowns.
Smart black materials have been
imported only in very limited quanti-
ties, to the regret Of the many who
would have chosen them had they been
in evidence. But this season nous
arons change tout celia. Black now
reigns supreme as the keynote Of the
smart toilettes of the best dressed
Parisiennes.
Tiny tots of four and five. or even
younger, are tricked out in black and
white in miniature imitation Of their
elders.
To put black on child was, short
time ago. looked upon as little short OF
sacrilege.
Faehion has pleasing way with her,
however, Of twisting ones point Of view
about with hard, sharp spin that
leaves one so bouleversee on the sub
ject that the only way out seems to be
to agree blindly to whatever she ad-
vocates. So we shall, l suppose, prompt
ly dress our feminine tots-if We hap
Pen to have any-in raven coloring.
Apropos of dressing in black. l don't
know anything that has been more re.
volutionized by Fashions decree than
mourning.
Women used to look their worst when
dressed in mourning under the old
regime.
Henriettas and bombazine, made on
ugly. straight, hard lines, with some
stiff bands Of crepe as the only per
missible trimming, was the popular
conception of mourning. Anything
else more attractive was to be inter
preted as a mark of disrespect and lack
of regret for the dead.
Today the women in mourning are,
if anything, better dressed than the
rest OF their world.
All sorts of exquisite fabrics in black
are to be found, and the soft French
crepe so much in vogue is tucked and
shirred and turned into endless fasci-
mating modes. The white French crepe
is equally smart, and is much worn for
dinners en- fdmille.
The dull black OF mourning is pc
culiarly becoming to some women.
Mrs. Perry Belmont, Mrs. Harry
Payne Whitney. and Mrs. Burke-Roche,
for instance, never looked handsomer
than they do now in their sombre
toilettes.
Mrs. Belmont is wearing an unusually
smart hat just now.
1t is made entirely Of black foliage
and berries. 1t flares off and gets over
the face as all the best and latest hats
do. With this hat Mrs. Belmont wears
a thin plain veil of net.
The face veil, with the disfguring and
unhealthy crepe band across it, is OBJ
solete. TO far as the woman of fashion is
concerned.
A word to the wise, in general, and
the unwise. in particular, about the too
