HATS WITH
THE FAIR SEX

in the shading that the material itself
has simply when seen in different
lights.
Pale rose pink and quite a deep rose,
a vivid blue and an equally vivid green
are the most fashionable colors, and,
Of course, each possesses the great ad-
vantage of being an excellent back
ground for the display Of fine Jewels.
AS a rule. these gowns are unrelieved
by any trimmings whatever, trusting
solely to the beauty of the jewels 10
give any contrasting effect.
Velvet and point lace are, however,
too indissolubly connected in peoples
minds to be so suddenly done away
with, and consequently the velvet din
ner gown trimmed with a bertha of
rare old point lace never goes out of
style.
For the street are seen most attrac-
tive coat and skirt costumes, the short
jacket in velvet being thought the
smarter. Mohair and silk braids are
used in trimming, and a gown may
have either rows of braid be bound
with braid or have straps of braid, each
strap finished with cut steel or Jet but
ton. Narrow bands OF fur are also
thought smart for trimming. and look
well on either dark or light velvets
while among the absolutely plain cos
tunes are some OF the smartest Of all
In short, there are enough different de-
signs for every woman to be able to
choose one becoming to her own espec-
ial style.

Many women are so afraid of gush-
ing that they actually become ungra-
cious. They hate inslncerity so deeply
that In avoiding insincere gratitude
they assume an insincere Indifference.
If one must choose between being Ell
ther effusive or cold it is surely better
to be the former. Indifference or an
Indifferent manner has parted more
friends than gush ever did. II one has
entertained a friend or gone out Of his
way to do a favor or bestowed a gift
he viii be pretty sure not to mind ef-
fusiveness, but he VIII find it hard to
excuse Indifference or lack of appre-
citation. People inveigh over the per-
functoriness Of much of the bridal gift
giving. but the notes that some brides
send out acknowledging their wedding
presents are often so perfunctory and
vague that they are like a dash OF
cold water in the face Of the giver.
There is a gentle art Of saying thank
you. It is one that will stand culuvat-
ing.

In their zeal to perform deeds in this
world too many women forget their
duty to home and family and insist
upon devoting time. money and strength
to the labor of sustaining a pet char
ity. Nothing is more commendable
than true charity. but nothing is sad
der than to see the modern Mrs. Jelly
bys neglecting home. children and all
home life in n mistaken idea of doing
noble work. Woman's field is quite
extensive enough to keep the average
body well employed, and If she but at
tends to immediate duties she will be
doing her share in making the world
better.

JAPAN OF MODERN TIMES.
Companion with the United King
dom in Size, Population and
other Particulars.

Concerning the United Kingdom the
tween it and Japan are remarked by
the Anglo-Japanese Gazette: Japan
consists of a group of islands lying to
the east of the continent of Asia, as the
United Kingdom consists of a group ly-
ing to the west of the continent of Eu-
rope. Both groups extend from north
to south; the main islands of the Japan
group are about the same length as the
United Kingdom-viz., about 700 miles;
both groups have a similar population
Japan "A, 900, 900 and the United King
dom $4,000, 900; both groups have a
similar area-Japan 14T,O00 and the
United Kingdom 10000 (English)
square miles; both groups are washed
and their climates modified by impor-
tant ocean currents--the British isles
by the gulf stream aud Japan by tho
Japan current.
The resemblance ceases, however.
when the two are contrasted as en-
pires. The one is the land of the rising
sun, the other that on which the sun
never sets, while the population of the
British empire is about 400, 900, 900,
nearly a quarter of the population of
the globe and nearly ten times that of
Japan.
The revenue of the United Kingdom
is more than our times that Of Japan,
but the foreign trade is II times and
the national debt 70 times greater.
The marked contrast between the ma
tional debts of the United Kingdom and
Japan is hat the former has been
raised almost entirely for carrying on
the wars in which that country has
been engaged during the last 200 years
while that of Japan has been chiefly for
public works and industrial enter
prises.
In the United States the population
is, roughly. twice the number in Japan,
its size is % times as large, its revenue
four times as great. while the foreign
trade of the United States is nine times
and its national debt seven times that
of Japan. Russia covers o~ne-seventh of
the surface of the globe, is 60 times the
size of Japan, but its population is less
than three times greater, consequently
population in Japan is 20 times thicker
than in Russia. France has an area
nearly 40 per cent. larger than Japan,
but a population 10 per cent. less, and
not growing. Its national debt is enor-
mous-the largest of any nation in the
world-nearly double that of the
United Kingdom and 20 times that of
Japan. Germany, which now aims at
becoming a world power, is about the
same size as France, or 40 per cent.
larger than Japan, while its population
is %one-fourth greater. A striking fea-
ture of the population of Germany is
that it is growing at a much greater
rate than that of the United Kingdom
or Japan. and iustifies. in some meas.
ure, the desire for expansion.

Decoration Day
BY
EMILY S. WINDSOR.

fsJY THE aid of the calendar hang
- ing on her wall. Mrs. Pell found
that there were IA weeks before Dec
Grafton day.
She was not an adept at mental arith-
metic, SO that it was quite a lengthy
and laborious piece of work for her
TO calculate that if she saved IL cents
each of those IA weeks, she would
have one dollar and IS cents.
She had just finished counting it up
a second time in order to be sure that
1T was correct, when her n%eighbor, Mrs.
Wilkes, from the next room below in
the big tenement house, came in for
their usual evening chat. She was a
thin, nervous looking little woman of
middle age. Neither her faded gray
hair nor her dress was tidy. She was
Arong contrast to Mrs. Pell, who was
rs neat and clean; she was much
older tfaR Mrs. -Mitkes, too.
Most of Mrs. Pell's days wereTsTent
in office cleaning. while Mrs. Wilkes
time was we'll filled with washing and
ironing.
After they had exchanged their news
of the day, Mrs. Pell said: would you
think that a body could get a nice lot
of flowers for a dollar and siXty-eight
~cents?"
"Sure and I'd think that a lot of
money to be ~spendin' in such a way"

Mrs, Pell, 'but not a cent more than

"Im sure I'm not KNOWN what

the surprise in her face increasing.

THE INTELLIGENT JUROR.

1t is a common and natural practice of
lawyers in addressing a jury to single out
one member who seems to them the most
intelligent, and to deliver their appeals to
him. They usually feel that if they can
impress him, his influence will be valuable
in its effect upon thu other members. If
they make a mistake they rarely discover
it, says the New York Sun. But the
stenographer of one division of the supreme
cpurt tells an incident of a mistake that
was found out.
All the testimony in a case had been
taken, the lawyers for both sides had
summed up, and the Judge had charged the
jury, when up rose the intelligent juror
whom both counsel had singled out as the
recipient of their imprisoned appeals. He
wanted the court to give him some in
formation.

A traveller has made the observation
That. cnffee-drinkingg people are very
seldom given to drunkenness. In Bra

extensively and all the inhabitants

is rarely seen. The effect is not only

They had almost stripped the many
bushes in their garden
After their grandfather's and grand
mothers and Aunt Edith's grave. had
been piled high with odorous blossoms
there was still a large basketfd OF
beautiful white roses left.
''Let us drive around and see if here
are any graves without any flowers"
said Berta.
.Yes," said Mrs. Graham, 9" like
that thought"
But there did not seem to be any
graves ~undecorated until they rea ched
a more distant part of the cemetery.
There two sunken graves, with
w~eather-worn wood markers at the
head, We're 1owerless.
'How lonely they look!' saidTom,
"Ys," said Mrs. Graham ST think
that you must empty this basket on
them"
"Let Tom and me do it," said Berta.
So she and her brother jumped out Of
the carriage and wentov yer to the two
graves. There were enough roses to
completely cover them both.
Now they don't look so lqnely,'
said Berta, with a backward glance, as
| she drove away.
And so it was that when late il the
afternoon Mrs. Pell came to the lonely
spot where Lay her husband and son,
she found the two mounds a mass OF
exquisite roses. And they looled like
the roses she had had in her little
country home in those long pastdays

Just as when sunset comes
With bugle calls that die away
And softly throbbing drums; q
The shadows reach across the sky
And hush the cares of day;
The bugle call and drum beat dlet
The blue fades into gray.
The gray is blending into blue
sunrise glad and fair,
When, in the richness of the devil
The roses riot there,
The bitterness of Yesterday
Is lost to me and you;
The blue is fading into gray
The gray blends into blue.
They're sleeping now the long, lqg sleep
The boys who wore the blue;
Above the gray the grasses creeF
And both were good and true;
And In the twilight Of Jul life
The ending of the way
There comes forgetfulness of stife-
The blue fades into gray.
Above each mound the lily glow
And humble daisies nod;
The ruby glory of the rose
Sheds luster IN the sod;
The tears-the tears-they are TIE dew
That greets the coming day.
The gray is blending into bluej
The blue fades into gray.
