A pretty waist is of black lace net
of an open pattern, with narrow pink
velvet ribbon run through lengthwise.
The yoke is q shirred one of black
mousseline over pink, and there are
two full rosettes of black and pink
mousseline near the left shoulder, ex-
tending down the closing at the side
in loose twist, and ending in rosettes
at the waist.
Another waist was of nile-green
mousseline and velvet of the same
shade. The little bolero was of velvet
covered with Nenaissance lace of q
very open pattern. The sleeves were
of shirred mousseline, crossed by vel
vet ribbons with formed squares. The
upper part of the sleeve was small
velvet puff coming from under the
mousseline. The waist is finished by
a twist of velvet ribbon and mous-
seline drawn through very hand

In making up dresses of gingham,

should BE- shrunk before cutting. This
may be done by dipping the fabric

ly, but by no means soaking it. Lift
it from the water and dram without
wringing; hang so that threads run
straight, and shake from time to time
until almost dry, then press carefully
with hot iron. The rapid drying
thus induced will result in the desired
shrinking. Heavy linens and fine
French or silk glnghams do not re.
quire treatment of this kind, but these
should be cut invariably according to
the thread, otherwise they will be sure
to hang uneyenly after their first visit
to the laundry. A very common
source of dissatisfaction in the appear
ence of wash dresses made in the ma.
terials above described Is to be traced
to the employment of too fine ma.
chine stitch, which often Fuckers a
scam badly, especially if tile material
has not been shrunk previous to max.
ing. Even with exceedingly fine or
candle a medium sized stitch is pre-
ferable, especially for long seams such
as occur in skirts. This is q defect in
home dress-making that should be
equally guarded against in the stitch,
ing of yelling cloths, India silks, or
silk ginghams. Even where stitching
is employed rs garniture smoother
effect will be gained by setting the
machine SO rs to bring from eighteen
to twenty-five stitches within the inch.
In stitching up bias seams in ging-

be no fear OF disaster after laundering.

To Beautify the Hand.

To Increase the strength, symmetry
and incidentally the beauty of the
hand, devote ten minutes before you
go to bed to muscle bending and
stretching. Extend both arms at
right angles to the body, the backs of
the hands turned upward. In this
position the hand is to be bent up
ward, downward and sideways. With
fingers first together and then ex-
tended, and without moving the arm,
bend the hands upward, from the
wrist as far as possible, then back to
the original position. Then down.
ward as far as possible. For the side
ways movement bend alternately to-
ward the thumb side and the little
finger side, downward and sideways
Tor some minutes.
Hand rotation next follows. In this
the arms are held as for the bending
and stretching exercises. With even
and constant movement the hand per-
forms all the previous motions, that
is, from the bending position upward
into the bending position sideways,
downward, sideways in the opposite
direction, and so on; first the Sngers
are held together and then extended.
Finger bending and stretching
comes next. With arms extended
the fingers are slowly but vigorously

Erills of Fashion.

Lace effects in hosiery will be very
popular for summer wear.
Valenciennes lace is to be very popu-
lar this season for trimming the thin
summer gowns.
Pretty combinations of silk braid
and narrow laces are seen among the
new trimmings.
Belt buckles covered with suede in
it's natural color, and ornamented with
steel, jet or turquoise, are one of the
novelties.
Empire gowns are becoming to very
few women, but they are revived again
as part of the scheme of soft clinging
materials.
Chiffon toques combined with a
fancy straw braid sewn on like ribbon
with spaces between the rows are dis
played in all colors.
A freak of fancy or fashion as the
case may be, is hand-painted flowers
on gauze, silk and suede, all of which
are used for trimming gowns and hats
as we'll.
The new pulley belt made of ribbon
ill all colors stiffened with feather
bone, is one of the seasons novelties.
They shape into girdle form at the
back, and narrow ends, carried through
a ring at either side, tie in small bow
in front.
, Long sleeves covering half the hand
seem to have originated the fashion of
wearing no gloves at teas and the
theatres, providing. of course, that you
are handsomely dressed. At least this
is the latest Persian idea of the fitness
of things, ifyou are well supplied with
ieweled rings.
The latest style of coiffure shows
less crimping. The hair is waved, of
course, but not in such decided rolls
as formerly, and is arranged very
high on the head. The pompadou1
still remains, but the front parting is
very much in evidence and the hair
is not puffed out quite so much at the
side.
Nothing else in fashion is quite SO
effective for renovating an old bodice
as the wide velvet corselet belt and
cravat which may be OF velvet or lace.
Fasten the belt at one side with hand
some buttons or with knot and
fringed ends as you fancy. Panne is
especially desirable for the draped
belt. The shirt bolero of velvet OF
lace is another useful means of renova.
ton where the bodice is worn under
the arms.

DIR. B. A. Hinsdale, professor Of
pedagogy at the University of Michi-
gan, speaks thus kindly OF the results
of coeducation:
81 am requested to answer the qucs-
tion whether coeducation is q failure.
Certainly see no reason to think so,
but much reason to think the contrary.
In 1870 there were two women and
AIS men in the literary department of
the University of Michigan: in 1880
the ratio was 81 to 367; in 1890, 2S4
to 725; in 1898, 5SS to 745. More
over, these figures represent, meas
urably, at least, what has been going
on all over the country. So far, then,
as the number of women attending
coeducational colleges is concerned,
there is no evidence of failure and
every evidence of success. 1t is the
same when we take. account of the
work of the women. The experiment
has been tried at Ann Arbor for thirty
years, and it has been clearly demon
strated that, as measured by class
room tests, the women have main
tanned fully as high an average Of
scholarship as the men.
THAT women have furnished their
proper proportion of first-rate scholars
is not, however, as clear as it is that
they have come fully up to the aver
age. And as it has been at Ann Arbor,
so has it been elsewhere. wish to
add that the success of coeducation
by no means proves that it will be-
come the universal type of higher
education for women ill the country.
Women's colleges and 'annexes' have
no doubt met felt want; they now
meet such q want, and can see no
reason why they shall not do so in the
future"

Brown came back to Detroit to visit

TRAINING BosRS' HORSES.
how They Are Taught to Stand Still
Where Their Riders Leave Them.

An Englishman now in Baltimore
who spent several years among the
Beers in South Africa said recently
that the Boer force was stronger in
numbers than it seemed to be, be-
cause every man in the army was
mounted and detachments could move
from one point to another in an in
credibly short time.
He was asked whether the Beers
kept their horses in the trenches with
them, and this question led to an cx.
planaticr.
every Boer warrior has horse, T.
said he, 'and their horses are so
trained that they will stand where
they are left until their masters re-
turn. I have seen them training theii
horses in this trick and their method
is effective, though heroic
IA Boer will take a young horse,
two-year-old or perhaps a yearling,
and attach halter to him. From the
hater hangs a rope and at the end of
the rope is suspended an iron ball,
which hangs about the animals knees.
''The horse is then turned loose IL
a large lot. He Immediately begins
to prance around and the iron ball
keeps striking against his knees. The
horss is driven wild and the ball
keeps on getting in its work. The
beast may struggle against the annoy.
ance and pain for four or five hours,
but he finally drops from exhaustion
soften it takes three or four weeks
to nurse the horse, with his cut,
bruised and bleeding knees, back in
to condition, but when he is fit to
ride he is just the horse the Boer
wants. All the Boer has to do when
be dismounts is to throw the bride
rein over the horse's head. The horse
feels the reigns hanging from his chin
and he remembers the previous ex-
perience with an iron ball He will
stand stock still ae long as that rein
hangs from the bit aud he will not
move, not if shells are bursting around

WISE WORDS.
We always disguises charity.

Love always disguises charity.
There is no moderation in shining.
The milk of human kindness is all
cream.
The cure of worldly love is divine
love for the world.
He who lives expecting to die, may
die expecting to live.
The draught that extinguishes the
match, increases the fire.
His hidden purposes force us to live
on His revealed promises.
Soul winning eloquence depends
not on words, but on worth.
The ore that runs high in gold, is
most likely to be sent to the smelter.
He who lights the candle at both
ends, may expect soon to burn his
fingers.
True faith filings one more fully into
work because it frees from fear as to
supplies.
Our lips are often first to profess
love, but the last members to yield
obedience.
If we demand perfection of on,
friends, we must pay for it in the
same currency.
He who knows enough to mind his
own business, is quite likely to be
trusted with someone else's.

Hoods
SarsaparilIa


1t was once laid down by a cele-
brated writer and historian that the
difference between rising at and in
the morning for the space of forty
years, supposing a man to go to bed
at the same hour every night, is nearly
equivalent to the addition of ten years
to the life. This consideration should
carry very great weight and be suffi-
cient to induce those who have not
hitherto practiced this habit to COM
mence to do so, more especially the
people who are always complaining
that life is not long enough for them to
transact all the work that they have
to perform. There is much founda
tion for their complaint If they persist
in wasting so many valuable hours of
the day in bed. The advantages and
benefits Of early rising cannot be over
estimated; in the early hours of the
morning the brain is clearer and more
ready for work, and after a night'a
sleep we should be ready to attack the
.ork Of the day.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS,
Arranging Flowers.

Here are FIVE golden rules that
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foli-
age. Put your flowers in very lightly.
Use artistic glasses. Do not use more
than two, or at most three, different
kinds Of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your eolors to form a bold
contrast, or, better still, soft har-
mony. The aim Of the decoratog,
should be to show off the flowers
GJt the vases that contain them;
therefore, the simpler ones are far
preferable to even the most elaborate.
Glasses for dinner table should be
either white or a delicate shade of
green, brown or rose color, according
to the flowers arranged in them.
