Drssdlns the Future.

The most Of our troubles 10 caused b
dread of coming ills. Many of them never
come at all. or rather when the trial that
we have been dreading does come it proves
to be far more easy to bear than we ex-
pected. In fact. we are almost disappoint.
ed when we get over some long expected
trouble so easy, and Immediately look for
something else to worry over. Have you
ever thought that when we spend our days,
so full Of blessed opportunities for serving
the Master. in idle grieving over some ex.
pected trouble. We are dishonoring our
Lord? He has promised to help and com.
fort US in every time Of need. and we have
proved His faithfulness times without
number, but He does not promise to help
us bear to.morrows burden to-day. "Sufh.
cient unto the day is the evil thereof" We
have abundant grace given for every need
to-day; let US thankfully receive the bless.
ing, and leave tomorrow. with all it may
bring, in His care. After all. what He ex-
poets Of you and me is faithful trust in
Him, a trust that remains firm in the face
Of every possible calamity. Such faith a.
thus Is the only remedy for dread Of the
future. and such faith Is the rightful herit-

There II a furore for taifeta petit
coats Of every description. They have
almost entirely taken the place Of the
white eambric and embroidery under
skirts. The evening petticoats are
most elaborate. some being made Of
peau de sole trimmed with lace and In.
sertions, while the cut Is quite as i'm
portant as that Of the outer skirt.
When all IL said and done. the taffeta
petticoat Is not such an expensive lux
ury, especially for the evening. when
pale shades can be worn many times
without their getting so:led. They
save the hem Of frocks as well as the
laindress' bill. for n muslin pettlcoat
can seldom be worn more than twice
without q visit to the washtub. This
if the skirt Is cut after the fashion
OF the hour, must necessarily be ex'

friIls, which are an absolute necessity
