Coin Spots in Silk.

The large coin spots maintain all
of their recent vogue in Paris, and
most of the new silks show them In
some size or design. A smart little
gown shows the palest Of sea-green
foulards with a large coin spot in a
blush violet, this surrounded with a
ring of fainter color. The blouse is
of ficelle lace, cleverly strapped IN
bolero fashion with the silk cut TO
shaped bands, the long shoulder erect
attained in a capelike section extend
ing we'll over the curve of the arm.
The sleeve is en- suite with the bolero
blouse, and the skirt is gagged over
cords in hip-yoke design, the cords
appearing again half way above the
knee. At knee depth a full circular
flounce is set on beneath a heading
of narrow ruffies, and further RUIZ
fle is set on with gagged cordings and
left to flare free above the hem.

Coffee Frappe Delicious.

Make a quart of strong coffee In a
French coffee pot, and pour 1t In
bowl to cool; sweeten it palatably,
and when quite cool add half pint
of cream; then put it in patent
freezer and let it freeze quite soft.
Take as many oranges as are re-
CURED to hold the trapped coffee; cut
small slice from the stem OF each or
ange, and with a small spoon, or
scoop with a long handle, scoop out
all the pulp and juice from the or
ange. When the pulp is taken from
all fill the oranges with the trapped
coffee, put up small mound OF
whipped cream on top of each, and
serve on small china or glass plates.

GInxes Without Buttons.

Any kind of a glove is uncomfort-
able in hot weather, and especially
when one can almost cut the warm
sickness with a dull knife. But the
average woman would be willing to
undergo any amount of discomfort
for the sake of the newest glove sent
over from Paris. 1t is made OF
suede. exquisite in quality and shade,
and has a short gauntlet embroid-
cred in silk and gold.
The best selling shades are the
palest, pinkish grays and lilac and
the tans that are almost a deep
cream. These gloves are fastened
with single button which would
put to shame some real pearls.

Embroidered Glrdles.

Paris sends word that the en-
broidered linen girdle is the correct
thing for wear with tailor-made linen
gowns. 1t certainly has one advan-
tage over the kid belt-it can be sent
to the tub and come out as good as
new, while the kid belt has to be dry
cleaned.
The daintiest of these girdles has
clover leaves and blooms wrought in
white or forget-me-nots in their nat
ural color. Large brass buckles are
used on all wash belts and are easily
removed

, common, besides church, dozen or
more large and splendidly built brick
houses, great barns, dairy, mill
and shops of various kinds. A thrift
tier or more Industrious class OF peo'
pie never inhabited the EARTH Nor
can this singular sect be surpassed in
exquisite cleanliness. The interior OF
their homes, like the exterior, Is Sc
verely plain, but clean and orderly to
the last degree.
The world of fashion gives them no
concern, for their dress is the same
year in and year out In former years
they had a distinctive form of dress
for both men and women, and this
dress was very similar to that worn
by the old-time Quakers, and, while
this distinctive style of dress is no
longer adhered to rigidly, the Shakers
always dress simply, and their Sunday
garb is plainest of all.
Elder John Whitley, now an old
man of &c. and paralyzed, has been
for a great many years at the head
of the community of Shakers in Shir.
ley. He came from England many
years ago, and has been one of the
Shakers of Shirley about sixty years.
He is patriarchal looking old man,
with an unblemished record of char
acter Father John" as they call
him now, can no longer direct the af-
fairs of the community because of the
infirmity of years, but his faith Is I'M
shaken, and he still believes in all of
the claims of Mother" Ann Lee.
The Shirley community has dwin-
died to a little community of but ten
members, three men and seven wom-
en-, and several of them have been
members of the community for more
than fifty years. There has been but
one addition to the community in the
past six years, and the youngest mem
Der must be nearly fifty years of age.
One of the most interesting build
ings at the Shaker settlement in Shjr-
ley is the church, now more than 100
years old, and entirely unchanged in
all that time.
The main audience room is low-stud
ded and entirely without ornamental
ton of any kind. There are the four
bare white walls with the woodwork
painted dark green. Above are a
number of rooms in which the min
lister once lived, and the nearest
house is small brick structure which
was the minister's shop, for he worked
Just as his flock worked. Indeed.
every one works in Shaker CON-
munity.
In the year 1910 there were as
many as 5000 Shakers in the United
States, and it is doubtful if there are
one-ffth of that number now. One
of the largest communities is at Can
terbury, N H., where there are about
100 Shakers.
The Shakers of to-day are an hon
est, Industrious and God-fearing peo-
pie, who regard purity of character
and life of usefulness and sobriety
as of greater consequence than any
worldly honor and glory. They are
extremely hospitable and charitable.
and very gentle in spirit. They are
at peace with each other and with the
world. They believe in the life eter-
nal and the necessity Of preparing for
that life here below. A picturesque
and interesting sect, their numbers
are dwindling, but this does not de-
press them, for they seem to live in
an atmosphere into which none Of
the cares and vexations of this earthly
life can enter.

| wonderful tale of how Christ had
appeared to her in the prison cell, and
that he had become one with her in
form and spirit. This went the
Wardleys one better, and Ann was
now regarded as the head or mother
of the Shaker church. Ann main
tanned that it was made clear to her
in her vision that as there was neither
marrying nor giving in marriage in
heaven, so should there be none
among the true members of the house
hold of faith on earth, and celibacy
became from that time very impor-
tant part of the Shaker faith.
Finding that her claims as the
bride of the Lamb" were meeting
with a good deal of ridicule, Ann had
another revelation" in which it was
made plain to her that 1t was in
| America that the foundations of the
church were to be laid So it was
that in the year 1774 Mother Ann and
seven of her followers, five men and
two women, came to America. One OF
the men was AIMS husband, but when
she insisted on introducing celibacy
into the church he rebelled and was
no longer one of the faithful. 1t is
said that he in time took unto himself
another wife.
Ann and her followers remained in
| the vicinity of New York for some
time, and finally they purchased land
at Watervliet, N. Y, and settled upon
it, and there is to this day in Water
vliet settlement of the believers in
Mother Ann as the second Christ. Ad-
ditions came slowly to the little COM
munity at Watervliet.
In 1779 a remarkable religious re-
vival began in the nearby town of
Lebanon and in other places. The
converts claimed to have had visions.
and they went into frances. Some of
them, notably Joseph Meacham and
Lucy Wright, went to confer with the
members of the little settlement of
Shakers regarding their visions. The
result was that Joseph and Lucy and
many others became firm believers in
Mother" Ann Lee, and society of
Shakers was established in New Leb-
anon, and this society also exists unto
this day.
Within mile of the town of Shir-
ley, in Massachusetts, forty miles
from Boston. is a little remnant of
once flourishing society of Shakers
established in the year 1893 with
membership Of forty-four adults and
twenty-five youths and children.
Mother" Ann had visited this neigh
, borhood several times before the
church was finally established. She
was the guest of prosperous farmer
named Elijah Wildes, who eventually
donated his farm as the nucleus of
the large possessions owned later by
the Shakers.
The Wildes house remained stand
ing until two or three years ago, and
visitors to the Shaker settlement were
shown the room in which Mother"
Ann preached, and also the room in
which she was concealed one night
when band of men from the village
appeared at the farm bent on mobbing
the heretical Ann, whose doctrines
were regarded by some of the Shir-
| leyites as little short of monstrous
and evil to the last degree.
But Elijah Wildes and his wife
chung to the new faith, and the Shir-
| ley settlement finally grew into
prosperous colony of more than 100.

White Wolfe Very Popular.

Many beautiful gowns made of soft

modistes. These are trimmed with
lace and ornamented with sashes,
bows and streamers of white taffeta,
bright pompadour or Dresden ribbon.
Nothing is prettier than these gowns
for afternoon and evening wear for
young girls, young matrons and even
elderly women, for a woman with
white hair is exceedingly attractive
in a gown of soft white material, with
the softening effect of billowing lace
about her throat and hands.

1t was woman who founded IN
America that peculiar religious So
ciety known as Shakers, society
never very large in numbers, and now
so steadily declining that some of the
Shaker communities in our country
have almost passed out of existence.
and there are but ten or twelve men,
bers left in some communities in
which there were once several hun
dred.
One cannot be long in Shaker
community without hearing some
mention of Mother Ann" the long
ago departed high priestess of Shak-
erdom, who had special revelations
from heaven" and who was the head
of the church in America until the
time of her death on the 8th of Sep
TENDER, in the year 1854. Ann Lee
was the daughter of a blacksmith in
Manchester, Eng. She was born in
the year 1876. Her father was poor
man with large family, and Ann
went to work in a cotton mill when
she was but a child.
She grew to womanhood with al
most no education, but with liking
for power and authority She had a
ready tongue and plenty of native
ability. She claimed to have had
heavenly Visions" and was in much
tribulation of soul over the degener-
acy of the world when she was but
IA years of age. At this time James
and Jane Wardley, the latter having
received call" to "go forth and tes-
tify for the truth" were creating con-
siderable interest in the religion of
the Shakers. The Wardleys had been
Quakers before Jane Wardley be-
came a prophecies, who had it re-
vealed to her that the second coming
of Christ was at hand and that his
second appearance would be in the
form of woman.
Ann Lee was % years of age when
she joined the Shakers. She was at
this time married to man named
Abraham Stanley, a blacksmith, and
had had three or four children, all of
whom had died. Even before her mar
rage Ann had been strongly inclined
toward a belief in the necessity OF
celibacy for those who would live a
truly spiritual life and receive the
highest divine blessing, and she it
was who finally made celibacy re-
uuirement of membership in the Shak-
er Church. Those who were already
married could unite with the church
by living apart.
A woman of greater force OF char
acter, and more powerful as preacn-
er, Ann Lee soon exceeded the ward
leys in power and authority, anu she
became the leader of the church. She
proclaimed the doctrines of the Shak-
ers boldly and loudly on the streets
of Manchester, and was finally ar
rested and sent to the Old Bailey prls-
on for obstructing the highway In
Manchester. She was thrust into
cell so small she could not lie down
in II. Here she was kept without 1000
for two weeks, and it was expected
That she would be dead when the door
was opened, but young Fellow Oh
