AIRY MUSLiNS IN VOGUE.
The Printed Swiss Musiins Divide Favor
with the o~rgandIe.


This Is a muslin-clad summer. Print
ed Swiss muslins divide favor with or
CANDIES. The former have spotted
grounds; the latter striped or plain.
Those with plain grounds are, perhaps,
the most dressy of the two. Stylish or
CANDIES have a scroll pattern consist
ing of roses or other large or enlarged
flowers on one side only, intended as
a border for the edge of the skirt. I'm
deniably charming and delicate, char
acterized by the flmy, graceful, cling
ing qualities so much sought for this
season, are the embroidered lawns and
light cotton veilings that bear the
poetic name of Lalla Rookhs. Those
that are not embroidered are printed
in bouquets of shadowy flowers. A
new applique lace will be used to trim
muslins this summer after the man
ner of the French gowns. It's founda-
ton is a coarse cream cotton net of
Fedora or Brussels a On the net
is applied, in wreaths, garlands or bou-
quets, a design of flowers cut from
printed lawn or organdie. Sometimes
a few stitches of embroidery are added
here and there or a scrap of lace is
woven to complete a desired effect.
Women who are clever with the en-
broidery needle can themselves make
flounces, panels, revers or sleeves by
cutting out the roses. fuchsias, pop
pies or ~pompadour baskets from a yard
or two of muslin and, by the aid of fine
stitching, distribute them on white
cotton point d'esprit. 1t is a very fra
gile decoration, this princesse lace, but

I do believe there is a little life in that
trigger yet. A good many years have
passed since my brave young master
grasped me In his warm hand ana
started for the drill hall where otner
young men stood In a straight line ana
carried arms, and shouldered arms
and diligently went through the man
nal of tactics. II was not long before
the m anne and the boys
marched out in their beautiful new
uniforms to the music OF the village
band.
How they cheered us as we went
marching down to fight and the air
was full of fiuttering handkerchiefs
damp with tears, but dried in the SOFT,
warm wind OF that May morning. The
frees were full of pink and white BIOS
SONS and the sweet, warm earth sent
its fragrance like a benediction on this
little company, whose hearts grew
faint as they thought of unknown ter
rors, but whose eyes and lips looked
and whispered brave words of love,
duty, patriotism.
In the midst of the waiting throng
at the station was Miss Mamie Craw-
ford, who stood like the great white
statue that guards the tomb OF her
mother. She had waited evidently
some time in the motley throng, but
She appeared quiet and nerveless. al
though a slight twitching of the eyes
and lips showed deep emotion.
On came the sons of Father Abra-
ham to swell the vast army to vaster
proportions. swinging along in even
step, with the rhythm Of the band, led
by gallant Colonel Dillingham;. As
they neared this point, mothers, sisters
and friends pressed forward to thrust
flowers, packages. letters and lunch
boxes, little last tokens of their love
and affection. The bright glitter OF
the officers swords flashed in the sun,
but the soldiers muskets made as
brave a showing.
Heavily the lines advanced and
passed Nancy, who clutched at her
breast as il to stife the means she
knew she nus not utter until my
young master swung into line before
her.
Thrusting a tiny packet toward him,
she replied:
God bless you, Ned! ] will pray
for you every hour!"
Through Gods mercy, the order tc
halt was then given as those in front
crowded into the waiting ears. Mus,

And / stroncd at eve with Mary by the llacs in the lane.
What though years fit by like moments and the swift winged moments flee;
Every June time watts the fragrance OF the llacs back TO me.
