Summer Fabrics

some very smart gowns are being
SHOWN 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
mulls, batistes, zephyrs. linens. organ
dies and other warm weather mate
rails renders them more than ever de-
sirabie 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

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
has heretofore been popular OF wear
ing silk waists with pique skirts will
still prevail but now the white waists
are the correct thing, and the thin ma
terials, like embroidered muslin, wash
silk or those made of lace and ribbon.
are preferred, and over them will be
worn bolero or Elton Jackets of pique.
Among the new washable silk mate
rials there is, notably, silk cheviot,
as it is called. This fabric appears in
soft, beautiful shades of rose, amber
and reseda; heliotrope, russell and
mignonette, chamOis. cream, pink,
stem green. and in shades of blue.

the sailors should say: Why, captain.
what do you mean? Throw over all
the cargo?" "Oh," says the captain,
I'VE have a peck of chaff that has got
into this 5000 bushels Of wheat, and
the only way to get rid Of the cbaff
is to throw all the wheat overheard"
Now, that is great deal wiser than
the talk of many Christians who want
to throw overheard all the thousands
and tens of thousands of souls who
are the subjects Of revivals. Throw
all overheard because they are brought
into the kingdom of God through
great revivals, because there is peck
of chaff. quart of chaff, a pint OF
chaff! say, let them stay until the
last day. The Lord will divide the
chaff from the wheat.

unite together But that soul is not
troubled. There is no signing, there
are no tears: plenty Of tears in the
room at the departure, but he weeps
no tears-calm, satisfied and peace
full; all is we'll. BY the flash of the
storm you see the harbor just ahead,
and you are making for that harbor.
All shall be well, Jesus being our pi-
lot.
Into the harbor of heaven now we
glide;
We're home at last, home at last.
Softly We drift on the bright, silv'ry
tide;
We're home at last.
Glory TO God, all our dangers are DER;
We stand secure on the glorifed
shore,
Glory to God. We will shout evermore.

The fashionable pique gown of sum-
mer will be tailormade and will be
carried out in one color. with the ex-
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 linn
tied to separate skirts Ii cannot be
conscientiously claimed for the pique
suit that it is an article of economy.
To the contrary, it is tailormade and
costs almost as much as the stuff

this consoles the woman of fashion
for her reckless expenditure. Two

But bravely. silently. bore her part
Lo! there is that battlefield
No marshalng troops. no bivouac song.
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But, oh. these battles. they last so long.

Yet faithful still a. a bridge of stars
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on and on in the endless wars,
Then silent, unseen-eoes down.
Oh. We with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,

Were fought in these silent ways.
Oh. spotless woman in world of shame!
With a splendid and silent scorn.
Go back TO God as white as you came.

IL is not generally known that in

any form of solid food 70 babies under
year old. unless it be prescribed in
writing by properly qualified medi-
cal man. Nurses are also forbidden
to use for their charges any sort of
feeding bottle having a rubber tube
These and other equally stringent
laws have recently been enacted by
the French government, for, in despair
of increasing the birth rate of their
country. they are now doing their ut
most to save the lives of the compare
lively small number of babies who are
born.

TIED OWN NUPTIAL KNOT.
Pennsylvania Justice Acted as Celebran
at His Own Wedding


at His Own Wedding
Ira earle of Kingston. Pa, is an old
time justice of the peace who takes a
somewhat liberal view of his own
magisterial powers. He is somewhat
advanced in years and some eleven
years ago, when three score and four
teen and widowey, felt the need of
some tender spirit to share his trou-
bles and add to the enjoyments of his
existence. Casting about him, his eyes
fell upon a comely widow of 65. whom
he wooed with all the ardOr of a swain
of one-fourth his years He was not
long in winning her consent to a mar
riage, but. being Of an economical
turn. he hesitated about paying the
fee that would be exacted by a clergy
man or brother magistrate. He con-
suited his law library. consisting of the
revised statutes of the keystone state,
and could not find therein any inter-
dictiOn of lawfully qualified Justice
of the peace performing the wedding
ceremony. His bride-elect was equally
oblivious of the proprieties and accord
ingly it was done. Now comes Mrs.
earle into court and asks for a legal
separation from the squire on the
ground of cruel treatment Called
upon 10 testify, the aggrieved woman
said ,le marriage ceremony was per-
formed by Squire Garlic himself. and
that there were no witnesses present.
She said the squire told her such a
marriage was all right under the laws
of Pennsylvania and that there was no
other ceremony. Some old letters were
shown to show that she had written to
him as his wife even before the strange
ceremony of of 1893. One was written
in 1892 to the squire in which she
signed herself his beloved wife. In
describing the marriage ceremony the
woman said he read from a Bible.
asked her if she would be his wife. and
she consented, believing the ceremony
valid. Now, the squire declares that
the ceremony was farce, but the
court was of the opinion that it would
be good law. He refused to pass def
nitely upon the matter, however, and
the case will be taken to a higher
Chicago Chronicle.

Ruskin's Fearless Criticism.

John Ruskin was a fearless critic,
and made many enemies by his radical
views, says the Indianapolis News. He
never considered the man or the friend
in his criticisms. 1t was the work it.
self that concerned him. He once
criticised, in his fearless way, the
work of a well-known painter, who
was much grieved at the effect. On
hearing of the sorrow he had caused
he wrote to the artist that he regretted
he could not speak more favorably Of
the picture. but hoped it would make
no difference in their friendship. 1t Is
said the artist wrote in reply: Dear
Ruskin: Next time l meet you / shall
knock you down, but | hope it will
make no difference in our friendship
