plain as to fullness, except directly In front,
where there is more or less OF the blouse
effect. The sleeves gathered into straight
cuff have a puff effect directly at the back
OF the waist, and some models show a
stitched or embroidered band, little more
than an inch wide, over the shoulder seam.
Other waists show the deep collar either
In sailor form or q round rever-shaped col
lar, which forms the neck into a round V
sleeve. In thin stuffs it is made OF alter
nate bands of material and lace insertion
set in vertical or rather radiating lines
from the upper edge and finished on the
lower one with lace edging. The blouse
shirt waist, tucked all around nearly TO the
belt, where the fullness puffs out all
around, is another style for young girls
especially.
your shirt waist is the stock you wear
with It, and this will require discriminating
which to choose. Irish linen stocks, with a
few cord width tucks. a turnover en-
broidered linen collar and butterfly bow,
with embroidered ends, are one pretty
style. Bright red and green stocks with
broad four-in-hand ties attached, are
shown as the new thing to wear with golf
ing waists.
A shirt waist is not a specially distin-
guished or distinctive item OF dress, since
ii is found ready made by the mile in all
sorts and kinds of cheap materials. but as
so there must be every grade in shirt
waists. They can assume some distinction
and a great deal of chic If they are well
made and well worn by the woman who
can impart style to every garment she
puts on.

That black in the fashionable world will
take high place against all the colors in
fashions bright rainbow is an indisputable
fact. Black is considered very appropriate
for every occasion, and for women Of every
age and degree. Well worn. 1t rarely fails
to bestow certain distinction. and it is
safe selection where ideas respecting colors
are crude or uncertain. It is, however, an
indispensable conditional the best effect
is to be obtained-that the material shall
be Of the best Of its kind, and the making
(however simple) above reproach. These
exactions fulfilled, there is nothing more to
be said, unless, indeed, the admiration Of
the beholder finds expression in speech. 1t
is true that special colors are more or less
amably disposed towards some individuals
than others are; but there are times when
one feels out of hunor with a favorte dye,
Just as one wearies of a companion VINO
persistently agrees with one. A little con-
tradiction is more enlivening than eternal
complacency which often acts as a mental
ifritant. No one wishes 10 dine entirely on
trial Of the less familiar, the less or the
more conventional. The woman who looks
sUperlatively we'll in blue or brown does
not wish to dress solely in that color, and
In certain moods may take dislike TO II.
Black seldom adds to the youthful appear
ance OF its wearer, and yet nearly all men
and most women consider that a handsome
black gown, richly trimmed and gracefully
made, heads the list for general demi-dress
uses Of all the smart and stylish creations
in the realm of modern fashion.

The obedience of the Parent.

Martha Judd, in Good Housekeeping.
Papa" she cried. He was so absorbed
he did not hear her. She climbed on his
knee and pushed her small. persistent self
between the paper and its reader. Papa"
she said, while she put both her hands on
his cheeks, ''Pappy. won't you Please come
outdoors with me and help me find some
little stones? Mamma wants them to plant
THESE bulbs in and she won't let me go
after them down to the river alone. Dere
isn't any round the house but dreat big
ones. Come"
The father put down his paper with a
smothered sigh of regret, but took the
small, plump hand In his own and allowed
it to lead him. Out IN the hail. where he
was slipping into an overcoat, heard him
discussing the chance of finding little
stones" eagerly If politics and an
evening paper did not exist In fifteen min
utes they returned with a basketfui OF
pebbles. which the little mail carried eiee-
fully to her mother. The father returned
TO his paper.
When he laid it down asked: "Why did
you leave the newspaper you had been
waiting for so eagerly to take Maisie to the
river?"
''I'H tell you," he said; that is our
method of teaching obedience. If / ask my
children to do any small duty / expect TO
have 1t done without word or demur. To
teach obedience the parent must obey as
well as the child. When Maisie asked me
to take her 10 the river IL was a weighty
matter TO her. / might have told her /
was reading my paper and could not stop
That was what wanted to do 1t would
not have been good lesson. A four-year-
old child would have remembered If / had
pushed her away and told her could not
lay down my paper. Perhaps tonight !
might find her building a blockhouse and
tell her II was bedtime. 1t is disagree
able work to put the blocks away and tod
die upstairs before the tired eyelids begin
TO grow drowsy. Maisie would do It.
though. without murmur. simply because
pappy obeys her.
1t made me think The majority of
fathers and mothers would have called 1t
weakness.
ut is the way we have brought up all
the children" said the father. Our big
boys and girls use judgment, as do with
them. IL a task can wait half an hour till
an interesting book is finished or game OF
tennis is played do not ask it done sooner.
The children treat me in the same fashion
They know that when father or mother can
possibly do what they wish. IL Ii is reason
able and not selfish, their requests will be
granted and our time given them. There is
mutual obedience which makes home a
place free of selflshness and Jars. Ii is
harder to make little children understand
the more convenient season. If Maisie had
been ten years older she would have wait
ed for me to finish the paper before she
suggested going to the river bank. You
see IL Is discipline on both sides Of the
house"

much in vogue on summer gowns as though
the season OF 1901 were the initial enc OF
their favor.
Black and black and white effects are TO
be quite dominant ever IN the spring
fashions and certainly nothing can be much
more useful or appropriate for a greater
variety OF purposes. Especially Is this true
of the extreme examples represented by a
weli-made tailor gown and dressy evening
costume. With these two gowns and some
fancy waists woman Is fairly we'll

There are varied opinions about this new
revival OF the fashion Of dressing the hair

Their tone depends very much on whether
or not the mode Is becoming TO the woman
who is speaking. III she Is young, With a

the bloom OF youth she expei iments with
IL in the scclusion OF her own room and de-
cides that IL is not nearly so smart as thu
old way OF perching the hair high on the
crown OF the head. Another point against

ton. and even then IL very soon has a dis
heveled look. as II must be arranged locse-

brought to my mind by seeing specimen
OF this kind OF root which was dug up
near town by Logan Ryan the other day
and put on exhibition at Lloyd's hardware

War.

A march across scorching, sun-baked plain.
That seems to CULVER in the intense heat
A heat that burns into the very brain
a maddening thirst-blistered and bleeding
feet
A sleepless night in chilling, drenching rain
To arms at dawn. the foe again to meetI
Bugles and ffe and drum, and Shrek and groan!
Rattle Of muskets. hiss and scream Of shell
Clashing of saber. curse. and sigh, and moan
Cannon belching forth the flames of hell!
But clear above the awful din Of war,
Above the angry noise and tunult wild
The soldier hears. like music from afar.
A mothers voice. the prattle OF child;
And as his eyes raised in silent prayer
To God to bless his wife and little one,
He sees the old flag proudly floating there
Above his head, and firmly grasps his gun;
And, thrusting right and left with bayonet
Fearless he plunges into the fray
To win or die and let the earth be wet
With just another fathers blood to-day.

medium-sized companion, with waist and
hips of ordinary proportions, appear stout
