Women Need a Simple Life.

In writing of the boasted progress OF
the last century "An American Moth
er" asks in the Ladies' Home Journal:
What has the nineteenth century done
TO the woman herself? Are her school
training. her colleges and her work in
art and literature making her a more
womanly woman, more fit to be a wife
and mother? If not, they are losses TO
her. not gains. The chief change which
the last century made in the American
woman was that II tempted her to give
up for the new occupations of art, re-
form and money making, her own real
work as n homemaker, wife and moth
er. The nineteenth century has
dragged our women from their natural
base. 1t has given them noble sur
roundings for their lives; literature,
art, social power But they are not
content. tThey are nervous and rest
less beyond any former race of wom-
en-. The food given them is too light.
They look out on the world with
starved eyes. The wiser among them
are finding out that what they want is
not snow and public work and ap-
plause. but simple life, repose and
the homcly affections of home"

Ribbon Stockings.

Ribbon stockings are one of the
latest fads of Dame Fashion. and clev-
cr girls who like to keep in the fore
front OF the dress procession, but who
also have to count their pennies care
fully. are making them themselves.
The foundation for the ribbon
trimmed stocking is plain black
stocking, silk or lisle. Bands of rib
bon half an inch wide and three inches
long, each end finished with a little
loop, are fastened upon the stockings
in such n way that they form gradu-
ally widening figure. At the ankle
the ribbon bands are side by side and
almost touch. but at the calf, where
they terminate with n small buckle,
they are two or three inches apart.
This gives pretty shape To the ankle
and makes a Hat leg appear round.
The most refined of these ribbon
trimmed stockings are of fine black
Isle. trimmed with black satin ribbcn.
The bands are fastened To the stock
ings with very snail safety pins OF
with tiny jeweled pins.
Another stocking novelty is the black
one. trim ed with very large rib
bon bow. which fastened upon the in
step. A low-cut slipper. absolutely
plain. is worn with this stocking. The
foot looks extremely daintily dressed
in this small black slipper, and the
ribbon bow upon the instep makes the
latter appear hlgh.-New York Jour

THE VOICE..
By THOMAS WALSH.

Over the fields and the sea
To where on the hill / was sleeping,
There whispered Voice unto me,
Arise! and i caught the sun creep
ing
In under the door of the room;
And my eyes, still salt from old weep
ing,
Looked up and saw twas a tomb.
Then / remembered it ALL
The hush of loved voices; the token
OF roses; the tears you let fall,
The sobs half smothered and broken,
All. long il had seemed since my breast
With the farewels only half spoken
Had heaved its last sigh into rest.
In dust fell the wreath from my head.
As | broke through the cobwebs that
bound me;
Still, still the Voice beautiful said,
"Arise!" and felt all around me;
Till on the mildewy floor,
Standing a-tremble found me,
And stealthily opened the door.

Oh, the vast surge Of the light
And warmth and earth's gladness!
The singing
OF birds through the bIossom-drfts white,
And the far bells silvery ringing
All my stained robe, as | stood
In the sunlight, grew pure; the lark
winging,
Shook music DER pasture and wood.
Out on the glittering lands
A great white army went slowly
With branches OF palm in their hands,
Mid the silence seraphic and holy
Went over smooth hills by the sea,
Whence the Voice came murmuring
lowly,
"Arise, and come unto Me-"
Rapturous thrill OF those words,
As felt all their meaning awaken,
Ny heart leaped up with the birds,
All thoughts OF old sorrows forsaken!
And out by the fields and the sea
stole till the throng was o'ertaken,
And sighed, "Unto Thee Unto Thee"
