SOME HINTS AS TO SUMNER STYLES

Many plated skirts are worn in a
large diversity of materials ranging
from null to broadcloth.
Two lovely old style fashions hap
PLY revived, and reminders of the
Louis periods of dress, are the fohu
and the sash.
The bishop-shaped sleeve still holds
it's own but is much increased in
size, to follow the present require
ments Of fashion.
The preference for one tone color
is increasing, and the combination of
several different colors on n cos
tune is not often seen.-Mrs Raj
ston, in the May Ladies' Home
Journal.

Christian Life Column.


Did you eve hear of it? You have
heard all your life about the blessing
OF oousecrated wealth. But how can
q man ~consecrate his poverty? We
heard this point made in a sermon
more than a year ago, and we shall
not forget it.
Consecrating TO the Lord the little
we have in our poverty means as
much TO us as the conservation of
millions by the rich man means TO
him. The same largeness of vision
and richness of soul come to the man
of poverty as TO the man of wealth,
when both surrender themselves and
their possessions TO the service of
the Lord.
Consecrated poverty It means
more TO Us ten times over than con
secrated wealth. For most of u
people IT poor. If only they should
give who have a surplus to give, the
great majority of our people would
be wholly deprived of the grace of
giving, and many a fountain of Joy
now springing up into life eternal
would run dry. The example of
the poor widow giving her mites in
the temple beside the rich men, and
crowned with the matchless eulogium
of the Lord who said that she had
given more than all, is one of the
sweetest and most comforting inci-
dents in all the life of our Savior.
The fact of the business is, conse-
Grated poverty is a thousand times
more common than o~onsecrated
wealth. 1t is a hard thing for q
rich man to surrender great posses
sions. That was the trouble with
the rich young ruler, you remember.
He would have given a thousand
dollars or two, no doubt, with joy,
but the Master said, you must sell
all yOu hare, and the young man
could not stand the test. Some rich
men do hold their property in trust
for the Lord; some in North Caro-
lima do that, but it is hard to do,
and only the rare Christian, who by
the ''pride deposed and the passion
slain," has mounted high in the
divine life, can claim the blessing of
a really ~oonsecrated life.
But the poor man, who has never
had enough of the world to worship
it, can much more easily and with
far less heroic sacrifice lay his gift
upon the altar. We do not say that
all poor men do that. Not at all.
Some of them worship the little they
have as much as the wealthy do
their wealth, but we do say that it
is easier TO ~consecrate poverty than
wealth and it is oftener done.
If only our people all over the
State would learn the lesson that
the Lord claims his share of the lit
tie just as he does of the much, and
if they would give that little with
cheerful hearts, all our needs would
be supplied, and our great host would
conquer the world for Christ

POLLY woe AND TAD POLE.

1t was not a beautiful place where
they lived, this brother and sister,
only a pond of green, shiny water
close by a messy bank. They were
black, real black, and had long tails,
but not a sign of a hand or foot, or
even a leg. There we're so many
children in this family, and Mamma
Frog did not care in the least about
them, so they acted just rs they
pleased.
It was like a big boarding house
down in this watery home; some
u d-turtles had taken rooms in the
basement the dragon-fy grubs and
oaddis grubs selected apartments
where they would not be disturbed
by many visitors; the red leeches,
spry little minnows and full grown
frogs also kept to themselves while
the young frogs, like Polly Wog and
Tad Pole, frisked in and out through
the pond lily stems, getting in every
body's way and running the risk of
being gobbled up a dozen times a
day.
Polly Wog was a jolly little soul,
always ready to run errands for her
lazy brother and keeping her share
of the pond as neat as a new pin. In
all that big place there was not a
neighbor from whom Polly could
borrow a broom they had never
even heard of such a thing ; so she
was at her wits end what to do with
the litter. At last she thought of
something that would not be nice
for children, but suited little frogs
very well-she ate up whatever rub
bish was lying around often she
would beg Tad Pole to help her, but
he was so fond of running ace and
playing hide and seek, that he never
had time for useful things.
"Grandfather," said Tad Pole one
day TO Mr.. Google eyes, who was
taking a sun bath On a lily pad,
"why do you climb up on that green
messy bank so oftenP"
"To Q the world" replied grand.
father, blinking his eyes and looking
wise.
"I'm going with you next time !;
I'm tired of this poky old place I"
cried Tad Pole, noisily Tapping the
water with his tail.
"The very idea - croaked grand
father. "You'll not stir a step from
this pond till your legs grow. Nice
work you'd make trying to climb up
a hill besides you could not live five
minutes out of water"
Off went Tad Pole in a huff {:
'Polly Wog, I'm going to take a trip
into the world" said he. "Last
week 1 watched a dragon fly grub
climb up the stem of a tall plant into
the air he stood still for a while,
then suddenly his coat split down
the back. How he wriggled and
suuirmed to get out of it! Some
wet things hung by his side F.; flap
ping them to and fro, they soon
dried in the warm sunshine-they
were wings! beautiful, gauzy, gilt
tering wings! He spread them and
few away; 1 have not seen him
since. Maybe I'll have wings, Polly
