New Ideas in Ribbons.

New Ideas in Ribbons. ..
There are some new ideas in rib
bons. Bright and satiny surfaces are
most in favor. The wide ribbons for
trimming have silk beaver finish.
One of the smartest Of these is a
bright green shot with blue. A white
ribbon showered with graduated black
spots has pattern of dark blue spots
Of varying sizes. Ribbon having a de-
sign of scarlet poppies is effective.
An entirely new idea is the embroid-
cred cloth ribbons in narrow widths.
These are playing an important part
on the gowns of the moment. For
example, black ribbon has design
Of forget-me-nots. They are also seen
In the oriental colors.

used for bridal dresses and wells.
Children acting as bridesmaids often
wear Dutch caps. The effect is pic
turesque. Limerick lace is considered
. fitting trimming for wedding
gown, and entire trains of lace are
fashionable with the satin gown.
Bridesmaids dresses OF mousseline 10
sole over silk are made with Marie
Antoinette fichus and elbow sleeves;
and white cloth gowns with white hats
are considered the right thing for 60
ing away dresses. Chinese crepe
makes beautiful wedding gown, es-
pecially if cut in the Empire style.

Two Odd Ornaments.

A new twin brooch for securing lace

Something original in the way of .
muff chain is of fine gold, spaced at

each monkey clasping pearl in his
hand. AS the chain is worn these
monkeys have the appearance Of
climbing up the chain one over the
other in a fashion which is realistic
and amusing.

There's ever a crowd in the valley,
For the lower a soul descends,
The more 1t finds Of the smaller minds
That seek but their selfish ends;
There's companionship in the valley,
With others your lot is thrown;
But the man who tries for the larger
prize
Must travel the heights alone.

Where no other foot e'er trod,
TIL he grows complete In contentment

AS he learns to walk with God;

NURSERY MANNERS.
Some Ways In which Children Are
bothered without ReasOn.

Few mothers seem to realize what
they owe their children in early life in
the way Of guarding them from unnec-
essary wear and tear upon their nerves.
In these days We think so much of sun
light, fresh air. pure food and hygienic
methods generally that the least ad-
vanced of mothers must pay some heed
to these matters.
This awakened modern conscience
makes it all the stranger to find the
rule of thumb and the slavery of GUS
tom still prevailing in SO many fami-
lies. The other day the writer was
privileged to watch the toilet of thor
oughly up to date baby. The nursery
was a delightful. large. sunny room.
scientifically ventilated and warmed.
All the appointments were Of the best.
and both mother and nurse were well
informed. All went well till the mo-
ment came to remove the little day
shirt. This garment was skin tight
and was stripped backward over the
baby's head. rubbing all his tiny fea-
lures the wrong way, rufiling his tenn
per and causing him to protest Wig
orously. as any sensible human being
would.
The mother and nurse smiled and
said, He always hates that process"
The same thing was repeated when the
nightshirt went on. only the baby's
face was rubbed down instead Of up.
BY this time the thoroughly outraged
child yelled with anger. Think Of the
probable wear and tear to nerves and
temper in this unnecessary annoyance
repeated several times in the twenty
four hours.
Then take the matter of hair. II was
q sensible father who took his four
| year-old son and had his curls cut
close to his head In spite Of feminine
protest. 1t is true that the little boy
who came home was not so picturesque
as the one who started for the barber's
When the mother demonstrated, the
father said: Yesterday Willie cried nj
play because the other children pulled
his hair, This morning he cried in the
nursery because the nurse pulled bis
hair. He will need all the steadini ss
OF nerve control that we can help him
to TO be man by and by, and it Is ouI
duty to stand between him and unnec
essary friction"
These are only hints Of the ways II
which children are bothered without
reason. There ought to be a more i'm
aginative insight on the part Of thu
adults.-Youth's Companion.

FATE OF HINDoo GIRLS.
Nepnui Rnjpoots Cause Their Dsugh.
ters to BE Murdered.

Nepaui Rnjpoots Cause Their Daugh-
ters to BE Murdered.
A Capuchin monk engaged in mis-
sionary work in Nepaul, writing OF
Hindoo family life, remarks that II is
very difficult for parents to make ad-
vantageous matches for their daugh-
ters. The Hindoos therefore find
means Of Kidding themselves of too
many daughters by numbering them.
ii Is a well known fact that Hindoos
OF high birth, those who are called
rajpoots, caused their daughters to be
put to death after their birth by men
specially engaged to do so. This GRIM
inal custom had become so general
that In 1910 in the seventy-three vii
lagos of the Allahabad district there
were only three girls under twelve
years OF age, and three years later in
the town of Agra there was not one
to be found under that age. All had
been put to death.
The English government has very
naturally passed severe laws against
this abominable crime. but to evafe
them the Hindoos allow their girls to
live until the age OF twelve, after
which they do away with them by ad-
ministering poison in small doses.
Orientals are past masters in the art
of poisoning, and after some minute
inquiries 1t transpires that in many
districts twenty-five out Of every hun
dred girls have been got rid of In this
manner. Those girls who have been
spared they marry very early, gener-
ally between fourteen and fifteen
years, and that not according to their
own choice, but by the will Of their
parents, which is decisive.
An Indian family of good rank
could not keep 4 unmarried daugh-
ter. 1t would not only be a public
shame, but also crime against reli-
gion. To procure husbands for those
who have not already found them
there are number of Brahmans, old
and decrepit. called Kulin Brahmans,
