that the wise wife and mother always

1t is one of the best blood purifiers

Fetching French Waists.

White cloth gowns are very smart,
and for the moment what is known
as champagne-colored cloth, some
what darker than ivory white, is the
favorite color, trimmed with lace and
embroidery of the same color or with
touch of pale blue to make it more
becoming.
There is also a return to the fad
for black, and there are dozens OF
smart black gowns with round or
pointed lace yoke and high stock col
lar all in one, and with elbow sleeves
of the black finished with big pulled
undersleeves of lace. Quite apparent

ResuIts of a Wronq.

The worst Of having inflicted a
wrong upon the innocent is that you
can never, by any means, retrieve II.
You can repent, and 1t is probable
that your very repentance insures
your forgiveness at a higher tribunal
than that of earth's judgment, but the
results Of wrong cannot be wiped out
or done away with in this life; they
continue to exist, and, alas! often null
tiply. Even the harsh and unjust word
cannot be recalled, and however much

Erocks for pebutantes.


Frocks for young girls in theii
first season are of lace, chiffon, crepe
de chine or of any thin fabric.
They are made with a simple hen
at the bottom and the lining Of soft
taffeta or satin finished in the same
way. Over the lining there must be
an interlining. This is a necessity
and some Of the prettiest gowns have
two. This interlining is either Of
chiffon or mousseline de sole.
Very pretty color effects are pro
duced in this way. Light green il

a pale rose interlining goes between
cream satin and dove gray.
