And our harvest-garnered sphere
Showeth the white o the year.
Brightly the berries burn

Behind the crest of the pines.

Are the leaves of vernal sheen
None of their simmer lost
Under the touch Of the frost.
Furnished berry and leaf

In the fadeless love of Him
Who sitteah in heaven above,
The saints and the seraphim
AT the right of the throne of Love.

In the love they typify.

The Department Of Commerce and
Labor has taken up the work that the
Treasury Department for a long time
urged-the construction Of more light
houses and aids thereto along the coast
Of Maine 1t is doubtful il the econo-
mical leaders Of Senate and House can
be persuaded to do much towards such
appropriations this session but they are
included in the annual book Of eSti-
mates. a large volume made up at the
Treasury Department and forwarded to
Senate and House very early at each
session. A total Of s53.5OO is asked for
the Maine coast under this heading.
The largest appropriation asked is
S1'.eW for establishing steam fog
signal at Little River Head. at the en-
trance to Cutler Harbor. This is to
assist vessels that are entering the Bay
Of FuEdy. The smallest appropriation
asked is for 800 to purchase land on
which to build an oil house at Amas

The land it is proposed to acquire is
opposite the ledge on which the light is
situated. Then $4,000 are asked for the
erection of fog signal at Boon Island
Light Station for the protection of
steamers from Pollock Rock. The two
| other apprcpria tons asked are one Of
s14.4o0 for establishing a light and fog
signal near Isle au Haut, in the harbor
of that name. and one for $4,000 for
establishing light and fog signal sta

appropriation is asked for the improve
ment Of rivers and harbors in Maine.
This is $4,000 for completing the i'm

There are other projects that the Maine
delegation want authorized but they
will have to come under the River and
Ha.bor bill that is now being framed in
the House Committee. improvements

scot River near Bangor are the most
important of these. The Maine men
here have already taken steps towards
having those items included in the
House Bill.

The three most pronounced vogues In
children's ready-to-wear suits this year are
the suspender dress and the Russian blouse,
one-piece suits for girls and the two-piece
suits for boys. Suspender dresses are the
most practical little garments for active
girls that have been seen in many day

rest of the skirt Is plain and full. For the

the straps for the shoulder should not be
too wide, or they will give the child a

the better 1t will fulfill it's mission.
In wash goods, cheviots. madras, mer-

brays zephyrs and piques all make up into
satisfactory garments. There Is great
demand Tor naturai-toneo gray ana ecru

and a heavy mercerized cotton that can
hardly be distinguished from silk For
wear with these there are trim little REFERS
in the same material and boleroS finished
with braid or narrow ribbon stitched on in
triple rows.
The gimps or little shirt waists to be
worn with suspender frocks are almost
invariably of plain white. with plaits or

For Trouyille Wear.

I saw some pretty gowns the other day
about to be packed for Trouville. One a
lovely rose-colored muslin, was made with
endless small plaltings running horizontally
about the skirt and bodice, each bunch OF
five or seven plaits separated by gathered
ruffie of the muslin. An extremely odd sort
of linen gown was strapped with orange
and leather and worn with an orange leath-
er girde.
This leather trimming Is a fad just now
in Paris and bids fair to be one of the &C.
centricities of the fall. particularly dainty
treatment was seen on a gray crepe de
chine with bodice trimmings of white
suede and a deep girdle of woven pieces OF
leather.

All the weight Is thrown on the shoulders
and the opening is on the left side. These
one-piece frocks may be laid in elaborate
box or side plaits, but are most practical
when finished with a couple of plaits rum
ming down from each shoulder. A belt Is
not necessary. but If one Is worn at all II
must be very narrow and run through
stitched straps. Belts of patent leather in
various colors. no more than half an inch
wide. are worn with the long-waisted effects
seen In ready -to-wear frocks.
For active girls and boys there Is nothing
that will withstand wind, moisture, sun and
laundering better than Galatea cloth. 1t

slipped through straps. and If the frock Is
to be worn in the afternoon. a sash of
soft material may be substituted for the
belt. A pretty little frock on these lines
is offered in gray linen crash. with white
linen collars and cuffs, and a string tie
of dark blue, to match the blue embroidery
on the chevron. Such a little frock may be
worn to the breakfast table and for the

Dresden muslins with figures on them in
shades peculiar to Dresden China? Still an
other summer fancy Is the Louis XVI coat,
embroidered in colored silk pompadour de-
signs on white taffeta. This popular packet
Is cut away position fashion. and Is worn
with English embroidered and valenciennes
e-trimmed skirts. A charmingly simple
decoration noticed on several very exclusive
mousseline skirts was broad bands or tucks
of white taffeta put on In graduated circu-
lar rows half way up the skirt. A nigh
draped ceinture of taffeta, finished in front
with strass buttons and small bows of silk,
was Its waistband. Over the blouse bodice
was a shawl-shaped arrangement of white
taffeta edged with tiny fluffy balls.
Designing a Girdle.
If you see a woman looking especially
absorbed or even merely pleased, make up
your mind that she is going through
mental process of belt and girdle designing.
The mere man" may think he alone forms
the intoxicating subject of woman's most
profound reflections. and. enthralling as
the contempla ton of the male sex undoubt-
eddy is. he Is nothing and nowhere when the
eternal feminine begins a sartorial study
of her summer sashes and girdles.
Never before has so much care been
given the finishing of the waist. Every
where while shopping ones eye is caught
by waist belts The favorite belt is the
soft suede one, which may be purchased to
match any costume, but useful all-round
belt is suede in a plfable soft shade of
brown trimmed at the back with three fat
folds and fastened in front with eyelet
holes and straps. A pretty belt is of silver
gray kid. finished with art buckle of
silver, mounted with mock amethysts. Then
there are the embroidered cloth centuries,
with scalloped edges and any number of
delightfully."- gathered silk affairs to wear
around the waist.
A Handy Matter.
Any girl possessed of a long pair of dis
earded evening gloves can make herself a
