The Summer Girls Ribbon eIrdIe.

Girdles grow higher and higher,
and the pointed waist line has prac-
tically disappeared. The summer
girl makes a fve-inch ribbon, of soft
texture and two yards in length, into
a girdle thus:
She lays it fiat across the front, de-
ining a perfectly round effect at the
waist line. Then she crosses 1t in
the back, brings it around to the
front raising it above the first ford
of ribbon, almost under the bust and
slightly to the right. She pins it Sc
Crely to her bodice with safety pins.
Then she makes long narrow loop
and two ends, the loop to stand dag
onally erect across the front of the
bodice, the ends to fall below the
waist line.

The Lesson of the Birds.

7 sometimes think when sorrow makes
a Teller SOTter moan.
OF the birds that keep a-singin just like
trouble was unknown
I make no DOUBT they have their grief
as bitter as the rest!
That Mockingbrd there in the blooms, is
making holiday
Yet yandal hands have wrecked its home
have stolen its young away!
That little lodge Of straw is mute, where
chirped it's tender brood,
Yet bow il sends it's song to God-and
life solitude!
But lust let trouble come along, and
human hearts thcy sigh,
And send their waling messages airing
ing to the sky!
The world is then no friend to grace-a
shadow dins the light,
The stars shine through storm Of tears
and phantOms fill the night!
For all DIR souls, heaven-glfted-for all
our human words,
We read iife'S sweetest lesson in the mu-
sic o the birds!
And the kind God teach that lesson, when
skies above us frOWn,
To leave the moaning to the winds and
sing the sorrow down.

Ways of the Orient.

There is nothing very remarkable
in the report from Japan that move
ment is on foot, supported by many
eminent mon, TO found a church pro-
Christian in character, but independ-
ent in its lines. When Buddhism was
disestablished and disendowed in the
early '70s Of last century, owing to
the momentary ascendency Of Shiuto,
which is merely vague ancestor and
nature worship, it was prophesied by
acute foreign observers, that Japan
would either adopt Christianity or be-
come frankly materialisliC. 1t will
not be owing to any lack Of energy on
the part Of European and American
missionaries if the former course is
discarded. Here is one forecast pub.
lished fourteen years ago: ITO make
all Japan Christian by edict some
fine morning is not on the program of
the Japanese statesman Of the hour.
But that something Of the kind should
happen within the next twenty years
is not nearly SO unlikely as many
things that have actually happened in
this land of realized impr0babilitieS. y
