A wHISTLING CHOIR.
Unusual Form of Music Introduced
In sunday school In
Augusta, Gu.

TT. Lockhart. superintendent of the
Berean Baptist Sunday school of Au-
gusta. Ga, is responsible for new
departure in church music, and
through his efforts the innovation has
been emineutly successful, reports the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Mr.. Lockhart obtained his idea from
"The Burgomaster," which recently
appeared in Augusta. He heard "The
Tale of the Kangaroo" whistled, and
when the audience joined in the chorus
the effect struck him as being so uniuue
that he at once decided to put it in
use in his choir. Mr.. Lockhart talked
the matter over with Rev. j. II. Oliver.
pastor of the church, and it was de-
cided to try the plan the following Sun
day. The Sunday school numbers 301
members. On the Sunday when Mr..
Loclthart had planned to introduce
whistling music the exercises were
opened by "A short talk on the sacred
ness of all melody and harmony and
of the praise that could be rendered to
God in every form of music. Mr.. Lock-
hart then told the pupils that they
were going to try new form of music.
He said that, as a great many of the
young men who had really good voices
would not sing because they had never
been trained in music, he had decided
10 form a whistling choir.
The superintendent had no difficulty
in inducing the boys and young men to
come forward and whistle.

ployed and then a teagown, to be seen
mt its best, requires a vast amount of
ziry-fairy daintiness in the matter of
trimming; and in the use of velveteen,
unless one is very careful, the result is
apt to be anything but beautiful. While
no garment of the wardrobe of to-day.
admits of so many possibilities as the
teagown, to be an artistic success it
must be draped by the master hand.
Altogether it can be made an exquisite
picture of crepe de chine, velvet, soft
lace, chiffon. and, indeed, everything
that the luxury-loving nature of the
lady of fashion suggests, or it may be
eontrived in such an unfortunate man
ner as to present the reverse side of
the picture.
Within the week | have seen some
truly charming teagowns made OF fine
French cashmere, in both cream white
and delica tely-tinted tones, prettily
trimmed with much lace and hanging
stoles of the cashmere, and simply fin
ished at the waist by pointed girdle
of Oriental embroidery. The pretty
model given in the first illustration is
fashioned of cashmere in a delicate
shade of blue. The skirt is ornamented
by ruffies of the material, the square
yoke Is of black panne velvet, the stoles
of white spotted lace edged with Chan
tilly, while the embroidery, which is
all done by hand, of course, in the most
exquisite manner possible, is carried
out in the soft Oriental colorings that
are so very popular at the present mo-
ment. The other sketch represents a,
somewhat more elaborate and fanciful
teagown, made in this instance of
crepe de chine. Draped round the shoul-
ders is handsome fichu of soft white
mousseline de sole, which is held in
place by large chou of white chiffon,
with long sash ends reaching almost to
she hem of the skirt.
The most desirable lounging robes
seen thus far are made of printed
relveteen in dark colorings, lined
throughout with soft Chinese silk,
finished at the neck by smartly-
rolled collar and held at the waist by
means of finely wrought metal gir-
die. Other pretty models are made
of cashmere with Innings of silk, while
others again are fashioned of pretty
cotton crepe cloth, in both light and
dark colors, with cuffs and collar in
n contrasting color or else in somber
black. The "Geisha" dressing jacket
still remains the idol of fashion, al
though it has reigned quite two sea
sons, The most sought after models
are made of cream-tinted silk and
sool material and simply finished with

new fashion shows to great advan-
tage.
The tailor-gowns of the moment are
certainly delightful to lpoku upon. Made
of the new zibeline cloth, with long
trailing skirts and smartly-cut jackets,
they are more charming than ever be-
fore. Some have handsomely embroid-
cred waistcoats, and this mode is likely
to remain in favor throughout the sea-
son.
Lace continues to play an impor-
tant part in the world of fashion, EN-
broideries, too, of all kinds and de-
scriptions, are much in demand, to
brighten up winter frocks, and those
who have anything of this kind in their
possession should try to utilize it, for
now is the time and hour.

OF Mr.. Stanton, Mr.. Whitney, E. K.

With rope to lsssoo it, when the limb
on which he had climbed out broke
with his weight and he came to the
ground with thud. falling on box un-
der the tree and about putting him
out Of action. Master Arthur next
essayed the attempt but was unable to
get near enough to the cub to place the
rope when it was suggested that saw
be passed up and the limb saved of on
which the bear had taken refuge. The
sav was procured and the limb sawed
off, tho bear coming to the ground With
it. Z. r. Standish seized blanket and
attempted TO throw it over the little
fellow which by this time was thorough
ly infuriated and showed fight. com
p.llins Mr.. Standish to des;st in his
endeavors 10 capture il ~ith tho blanket
and defend himself with his feet, which
he did by kicking the cub in the snout
and sides. The bear turned and wen;

him by biting and scratching. Arthur
with the saw as weapon beat the cub
off compelling it 10 take refuge on
another limb, when the rope was passed
up again and the boy succeeded in
getting it around the reck OF tho cub
and it was brought to mother earth in
short order and secured with chains
