The Summer Girls Attire.
Afternoon OOwns-shIrt Waist the
Stauneh Friend Of Woman.
QUAINT EFFECTS IN LAcEs.

The summer girls outfit must nee
essarily be chosen with a view to her
plans for the summer and the lavish
ness Of her dress allowance; and for
tunately for her who must select a
moderate outfit, never has individual
ity Of taste had such freedom and
never we're delightful effects within
the possibilities. at lower cost.
OF course the afternoon gown
which runs the gaunt OF thin mate
rails from the most expensive laoes to
the simplest organizes must FIRST be
considered, but in apportioning her
expenditures for the summer milady
should remember that the elaborate
garden party style Of frock is not, as
formerly, the only afternoon gown re-
quired. Now that 1t is so fashionable
to live out of doors the greater part Of
the time, quite a different style Of
dress is necessary.
Most appropriated for afternoon wear
are the s -called tailor made costumes
Of light weight cloth, mohair or linen.
Linen is the leader of fabrics, par
ticular'y for shirt waists and there is
no longer any doubt Of the shirt waist
holding It's own. For many seasons
we have heard the prophecy that the
separate blouse lie doomed, but, as the
moralist puts 1t: "True merit will tell'
and the fact that after at least Ave
seasons the separate waist is still with
us is surely proof, of its desirability.

IN MEMORY OF ELLIE ELKtN.
TO HER BELOVED MOTHER

Aye Another beautiful soul is gone
Gone to the Realms OF Resi-,
A soul all sinless and pure as pearl
Now shlneth among the Blest.
A fair young life Of nineteen Mays,
SO fun OF promise and pride;
And love, the crown OF sweet womanhoOd-
II too, had come, ere she died.
Aye she would be the shy. sweet bride, s.
(E'en as her sister, some day;
But God In His WisdOm-we know not Why
Suddenly called her away.
Softly they laid her among the aoweB-
The rare, rich roses OF June;
A life as perfect and pure as these,
Had Joined the Angels thus soon.
And there, in the beautiful bright Beyond
The mind-gifts win stm expand;
And an her music OF heart and soul.
WIN gladden. the Angel-band.
o. Lover, you sigh for the loved and lost,
The sweetheart so fair and true
But can you not, in your faith, beHeve
She holds a place there for yOui
o. Brother, your strong, manly heart doth
mourn,
For the sister-devOtion and love.
But know you not that the broken chord
WIN sound all the sweeter above
o. Sister, you sorrow and sob and weep,
For the sisterlove now no more;
But another helps you the burden bear
Love pledges this DER and Ger.
o, Mother, your anguished and aching heart,
Calls ever the absent one
And you grieve with the grief Of a Mother
love,
For, perhaps, some deed undone.
Oh think of that happy and hottest home,
OF the bright g~irl-llfe gone before,
And NOV that mother is vernon first,
And there she must love you more.
Nor doubt that the Angel, who bided on earth
For only a short. blissful span,
Win come In spirit, o, lone mother-heart
And comfort you all she can,
We know not the ways and workings OF GOd
When to chide He raiseth His hand;
But why all the heart-breaking, cruel death
blows,
We, some day, will understand.

SNAKES POWER TO FAsCINATE.
How the Black Gopher Hypnotized the

From the Detroit Free Press.
Graham Peck, well-known authority

a snakes hypnotic powers. His reply was
as follows:
There is a certain power to fascinate in
a snakes eyes and movements. 1 saw only
the other day typical illustration of the
power of a snake to fascinate.
over in the pine woods l ground
squirrel fascinated by black gopher
snake. The forked tongue darted out of
rapidly the needle of sewing machine
rises and falls. The squirrel seemed to
watch it spellbound. The snake crept
slowly nearer. When the gopher snake was
within two o rthree inches of the squir
rel it gave a leap and threw three coils
gone. The fascination or charm there had
been over the little animal was doubt
broken the very moment the serpents coils
were about the squirrel, for the animal
gave three convulSive. terrified chirpS and
realized that its death moment had come.
Il believe implicitly that all snakes
have a certain degree of power to
fascnate their victims to death.
Black snakes, gopher snakes and
racers have the power to large degree.
Rattlesnakes have the most fascinating
power among all the poisonous serpents
In the southwest. The indications of charm

stops. The snake watches it. The poison
does its deadly work, and the bird falls.
Any one who comes up, not having seen
the attack, might be readily deceived into
imagining that it was the glance OF the
snake and not the poison that caused the
victim fall
