broken at intervals by deep horizontal
folds of soft shaded green ribbon. A
fascinating little bodice, all dropping
and limp, carrying a collar of the film
lest cream lace, this and the deep cuffs
to the sleeves decked with chrysoprase
and silver buttons, the whole is har-
mony of green as seductive in its way
as the rose.

embroidery and drawn thread work.
For choice, white linen, the gradu-
ated folds on the skirt set on with
drawn linen or ''fagot" stitch The
congregated mass of decoration on the
blouse is noteworthy feature of the
hour, and the lines of the embroidery
can either be worked on the actual
bodice material itself or applied in the
form of bands. The unadorned woke
emphasizes splendidly the now decreed
heightened shoulder line, while a neat
collar-band of drawn linen work COM
pletes a really sweet frock.

all of the enormous fund which now
goes to the agencies. This will be of
benefit to all concerned, except to the
useless and decadent advertising mid

THE LOST.

Down in the crowded, busy street
little child was lost:
He ran with weary little feet
Where hurrying hundreds crossed;
From those who stopped he turned aside,
And, filled with sudden fear,
He wildly. pitifully cried
For one who did not hear.
His anxious father came at last
And clasped the weeping boy
And many one who hurried past
Concealed tear of joy. F
The father kissed the little face
With all the stains 1t bore,
And blissful trust was in the place
Where fear had been before.
7 am but child that's lost;
BY dreadful doubts oppressed
I think of CULTS that must be crossed,
And fear is in my breast.
o, will my faith return 70 me,
Will He come back some day
TO where linger doubt{ngly,
And lead me on the way?
