left her, white faced, and yet with
smile on her lips. The cat came to

pressed her cheek against its soft fur.

said, desolately. "The end of the

Valenciennes lace will be very pop.
ular for trimming the thin summer
gowns.
Fine designs in Cluny lace appear
on new summer toilets, waists and
linen lawn and cambria lingerie.
Silk-warp gypsy cloth and sllk-warp
eolienne are new and fashionable
dress fabrics that appear in all the
beautiful pastel colorings Of the sea-
son.
The very high choker is no longer
deemed elegant. Collars of all kinds
are lower. In fact, many Of the latest
afternoon toilets are cut out in the
neck.
Among the most stylish parasols
for the beginning of the season will be
those of satin trimmed with velvet
polka dots. The handles are of natural
wood and are very short and thick.
The new embroidered batiste is a
charming material for summer gowns,
as it comes in variety of pretty
tints, embroidered both in white and
colors, and in white embroidered with
different colors.
Taffeta and crepe de chimes are
trimmed with cloth applied in stitched
bands. They give weight to the
skirt, which is desirable, and when
they are used it is unnecessary to
weight the skirt with lead.
The length of the stitchings on
killed or side-plaited skirts varies
from a few inches below the hips to
within quarter of yard of the bot
tom of the skirt; and on some of the
imported cloth costumes the kits or
side-plaits, reaching the entire length
of the skirt, are stitched from belt to
hem.
The great diversity in the ways and
means of manipulating lace, insertion,
edgings and appliques is certainly an
expressive tribute to the versatile and
artistic dress designers this season.
Everything which has ever been used
for this purpose seems to have been
revived and added to the novelties for
the summer season, which are already
being shown.

The threatened bonne femme skirt
was bad enough, but now there seems
to be @ movement towards crosswise
fullness.
Yes, one or two of the imported
evening dresses show this very effect
which we were wont to call draping.
Now, draping sounds we'll, and in
deed, it is very lovely and graceful,
especially for curtains and canopies.
But for our ownselves-well, if it's
just the same to the designer, we'd
rather not.
1t is man, dear man! who usually
gives himself the trouble of thinking
out these elaborate nuisances for
poor, incapable femininity. And
right here we'd like to know what he
has against us. If he really thinks
draped clothing so altogether admir-
able, why doesn't he put in bit OF
his valuable time conjuring up puffed
waistcoats, plated coats and draped
breetches with dust-catching ruffles
for his own sexs 1t really isn't fair
to load upon US all the wondrous
children of his gigantic brain.
Really, we are not selfish; we'd
delight to share our loveliness with
him!
Especially the draped part of it.
Drapery, you know, while possess
ing string of virtues, gets even by
also possessing even more vices. Out
side of the fact that it's always be-
coming disarranged, there's the gentle
little way it has of sagging down un-
til the fair wearer catches her foot in it.
Being thrown down by graceful
drapering is 10 more consoling than
less OF picturesque tumble. If you
break your nose, it's broken, and
that's all.--Philadelphia Record.

When You Hang Your Pictures.

BY hanging pictures low you in
crease the apparent height OF the
room.
Colored pictures should not be hung
in Railways or on staircases unless
there is plenty of light for them. In
such places strong photographs, en-
cravings and drawings in black and
white SO best.
A picture should not be hung from
one nail; the diamond lines formed by
the cord have very discordant effect.
Two nails and two vertical cords, or,
what is far more safe, pieces of wire
cordage, should be used instead Of the
single cord.
Picture cords should be as near the
color of the wall upon which they are
put as possible, so that they may be
but little seen. When one picture is
hung beneath another the bottom one
should be hung from the one above,
and not from the top; thus we avoid
multiplying the cords, which is al.
ways Objectionable.
A good hue for walls where prints
or photographs are to be hung is a
rich yellow brown or leather color.
Luster to the black of the print of the
tone of the photograph is thus i'm
parted. The wall paper should have
no strongly defined pattern.
The centre of the picture, as a rule,
should not be much above the level
of the eye.

The mind is awakened, and the nerves
begin an activity that must be kept
within certain well-deined limits.
Let the child show the first serious
symptoms of nervous disorder or over
study, and the duty of the parent sud-
denly overtops that of the instructor.
There is only one safe course to pur-
sue. The child should be taken from
the school until the physical balance
has been recovered. 1t is better to
let him grow up without systemat:"
education than to continue in hia
sickly course acquiring all the &C.
cumulated wisdom of the ages. Let
the child reach maturity without a
break down and with but few days of
sickness scored against him, and he
will attack the problem of life with a
zest and earnestness that will half win
the battle. Rear him in sickness and
Indifferent health and he will stand
fearfully handicapped in the race"

Picture coifrurss Are Coming.

An artistic coiffeur says that the
hair will be worn in low coil at the
back of the head this summer, if only
to give the crown of the head rest.
The front tresses are to be worn in q
pretty way that is novel and very be-
coming to many faces. 1t is a mode
seen in paintings of fair danes in the
days of powder, and from one of the
picture galleries the idea has probably
been borrowed. 1t is very much the
fashion to make picture gowns "after"
Romney and Sir Joshua, David and
other court painters, and it is only
natural that the wonderful puffs and
ourls and ringlets that these gentle-
men loved to depict should berevived
by the ambitious modern hairdresser.
In this new coiffure there is, just in
the centre of the forehead or little
to the left side, big, loosely built
curl, rising erect from the brow, and
the hair at the side is puffed up very
softly and fuffily to meet it, all the
becoming qualities of the pompadour
being thus preserved without the
sameness and stiffness of the mode to
which we have become so YEARLY
accustomed. With so much height no
high ornaments are needed, and
clump of flowers will take the. place
of outstanding sprays. In Paris, how
ever, very thick bunch of aigrette
plumes is the correct and favorite
ornament

NoVei rruit-Eleco II or INC AADics
Here is an idea that may appeal to
an entertainer. It is an evident fact
that the time -honored fruit-dish, with
its assortment of fruit, no longer has
any place on a modern table; each
kind of fruit is put by itself on a
separate silver dish artistically ar
ranged. Any one who has little
taste can initiate the arrangement.
Take four plates of equal size; put on
them some green leaves-bay-leaves,
geraniums, or whatever one happens
to have at hand-and arrange the
fruits to suit the different kinds.
Make pyramid of bright red apples,
with four apples for a base. three on
top, and one on top of all, with the
leaves in between. Arrange oranges
in the same way, but on the third
plate lay lunches of grapes carelessly
on leaves, and on the fourth put ba-
nanas. Lo with the four plates at
the four corners your table is dressed
at once. Nuts may be used instead
of fruit on one plate, and figs and
dates on the other, but beware of the
old-fashioned fruit basket or dish if
you wish your table to be up to date.

THE LIVING VISION OF THE GARDENS.

And have you left me like dream that fading
Leaves sweet, uncertain memories behndr
And are the dusk wings of the Twilight shading
Your sad, sweet eyes-your lips with kisses knd7
Oh, then, to Twilight be souls upbrading
since meath her wings no rosy rest lind;
And the Night, whose darkness bans and bars
All save the answerless and icy starsl
But now you stood with dewy lifted lashes
And saw the soul in Loves ungarded eyes;
But now, tumultuous torrent dashes,
saw the red blood to the dmples rise!
For Thought was Love, and az the lightning flashes
And sWift-illumes the darkness OF the skies,
So flashed Loves thought-beyond the hearts control
Fair face to face, and unveiled soul to soul.
Tonight the light from your windows streaming
Makes all the gardens beautiful tonight
Soft eyes with love beneath your glance are beaming
And lips are fain to kiss your hand so white.
But who without, In darkness there, Is dreaming
Cast like lost soul from the Gates OF Light?
The red thorns know him, for their spears prest
Over the wild heart In his wounded breast.
The red thorns know hm-brow and breast enhraling,
And yet the rose-leaves all their anger veil.
Is not your heart with quckened beat recalling
The crimson legend of the Nightlngale2
For song tells how when Twilight shades were falling,
1t hymned Loves tender oft-repeated tale,
Where bloomed one wild and wondrous rose apart,
Singing while sank the thornspears In its heartl
Fair grace to you, o lady, of the ashes
That vainly veil the utterance of your eyesl
The thorn lives reddenng er the roses ashes
And song Is sweeter when tits set to sighs
The bright light htther from your window dashes:
Mute Is the music and the laughter dies.
Life is not all in laughter and In light,
Fer weariness must weep and wish Goodnight
And so, goodnight Yours these gardens cleaning
Beneath the mystery OF sun and dew.
Sweet be your dreamsl But In my lonely dreaming
Comes ever only the dear thought of you'll
Soon will the sunlight DER the gray walls streaming
The promise OF the rosy morn renew,
When shall see your face-no morn so bright
drift to dreams Of you. Goodnight! Goodnight

The reign of the woman who is at

The technology of the automobile
has been enriched by new word,
namely, "bubbling," meaning to ride
an automobile. The word has been
derived from "automobubble," cor
ruption of Automobile. To be in
good form in automobile circles one
must not speak of riding, driving,
conducting or operating these new
vehicles, but must describe the act
as "bubbling" in them.

SUMMER NEEDLt-WoRK.
The Way to Provide Your Autumn Ward
robe During the Warm Months.

W
robe During the Warm Months.
The summer months are often as
sociated with thoughts of relaxation
vacation times, not to say idling.
AS matter of fact it is the time par
excellence in which the woman of do
mestic taste naturally turns to needle
craft. This may take the form of
fancy embroidery, the development of
new ornamental stitches, such as now
figure so largely in the dress-m making
domain or the making-up of fancy
underwear, the marking of table,
linen, etc. Every branch has its
own quota of interest and devotees.
Art embroidery, such as is to be
seen upon the handsome centre
pieces and bed-linen of the present,
includes great deal of raised work,
together with fancy open stitches, the
making of which is one of the most
fascinating employments for the
needle-woman whose tastes run
only to the decorative; bat the varied
trimming of gowns of the present
season is of an equally high order of
workmanship, and the clever needle
woman during the summer may, if
she will, provide her autumn ward
robe with any number of beautiful
accessories, such as handsome en-
broidered scarfs, ruffles, or yokes,
which continue to be plentifully used.
Where the needlewolk laid out for
the summer is to consist of the dec
Grafton of dresses, the intending
worker should prepare herself by a
little knowledge of the cutting and
fitting of garment she contemplates
ornamenting. Nothing "takes" en-
oroidery with handsomer results than
crepe de chine, yet scarcely any ma
terial is more difficult to handle.
Generally speaking, the best effects
can be secured by purchasing or en-
broidering separate figures and ap-
plying them to the crepe with regular
applique stitch. Where this is
done the garment may be made COM
plete before adjusting the trimming.
Where the embroidery is to be done
while the crepe is still in the piece
this latter should be basted to firm
sheet Of paper and the design en-
broidered through both crepe and
paper. When the chosen garniture
is complete the paper may be cut
away and carefully picked out 80 as to
leave no inartistic stiffness.
Ribbon embroidery is reappearing
on handsome gauze gowns. This is a
style of decoration which may be
accomplished very rapidly. 1t con-
sists in forming petals of gauze, thin
taffeta, or unstiffened gros grain rib
bon, and working centre pistils in seed
stitches that secure the imitation
petals in position, while leaving the
outer edges comparatively loose. A
handsome dinner gown of mousseline
de sole, which is designed for elaborate
summer functions, shows this style of
embroidery in fine effect. Large prim-
roses of silk gauze form the figure of
the motive, the petals being slightly
raised by means of an interlining of
cotton. Elaborate trimmings of this
kind, however, are worthy only of
materials which make great display.
A simpler trimming and one that
gives an 'fair" to simple silk waists or
skirts, consists OF lines of herring
bone stitches, from beneath which
the material is cut away. Harper's s
Bazaar.
