THE HABIT OF SCANDAL.
Tongue Schooled to Dfsapprova1
Was Leth to Speak Words
of Praise.

Old Mrs. Etheridge had loved gossip
all her life, but although her ears were
always ready for it, she had schooled
her tongue to disapproval, relates
Youths Companion. Nobody minded
what she said, for although she might
shake her head and utter her custom
airy mild repoof, her eyes never failed
to express interest and a desire for
more information.
The one phase which rose to her
lips when the tale was ended had be-
come so habitual that toward the close
of her life she occasionally employed it
involuntarily.
"Have you heard about Edward ?"
asked one of the family connection,
moving her chair close TO the old
lady's rocker and leaning over con-
fidentially.
Grandmother Etheridge shook her
head and put her hand to her ear.
"They say" announced the relative
in strident tones, "that he's making
a splendid name for himself, and has
been offered salary of $4,000 by an
other firm, and that he is just as clever
as he can be, has hosts of friends
there in Chicago, and deserves them
ALL"
The light of pride and JOY shone in
the old lady's eyes, but custom was too
strong for her tongue.
"You shouldn't repeat it, DEAR" she
quavered. There's q wrong story
somewhere!"

the time is now here when one can
really wear what becomes one.
II you desire to dress in plain and
unobtrusive style you can do so-or If
you wish to dress in the latest fashion,
there are the lovely Directoire and
Louis creations; while as to the hap
py medium" styles. never has fashion
been SO generous. A word, however:
do not wear the Directoire styles un-
less, you are moderately tall and slim
AS slimness is essential for this
style of dress.
There is absolutely no season of the
year, nor time of the day, when
blouses are not missible-indeed,
blouses are worn as much as ever-and
a very welcome addition they are to
ones wardrobe.
For morning use there are no end of
pretty blouses in flannel, with and
without yokes-box- pleated, tucked,
insertioned, and made more or less
fussy as fancy may dictate, and en-
broidered and unpublished as time and
taste may allow. Some of the new
aannels and such-lil.e fabrics, includ-
ing Viyella, are manufactured in such
delightful colorings and designs as to

with a broad yoke of Yak, OF other
coarse lace. they are quite stylish-look-
ing. For more dressy wear, nothing
seems too elaborate as to trimming
nor dainty as to fabr.c for the blouse,
and any amount of needlework enters
into the making-such as bands of in
sertion, tucks, appliques Of lace, fancy
stitchery, etc. Flannel blouses are
ornamented with the old-fashioned
English embroidery, worked with silk
or "Peri-Eusta" thread; while the
lovely Norwegian and Danish embroid-
cry known as "Hardanger" work is
most decorative for any dress fabric
that permits of thread-drawipg or the
"Sawtooth" stitch used in this work
makes such a pretty finish to cuffs,
collars, etc. Sleeves are gaining in size,
and many of the newest models stand
well out from the shoulders, and so
lend the appearance of breadth. AT
the same time, however. the broad
yoke effect, sloping on to the Shout
ders, is yet favored; while deep cuff
finishes are mostly shown for the
bishop or leg of mutton style of sleeve,
or for the full French shape there is
a long cuff, handsomely embroidered
and finished with ruffie Of real lace,
which nearly covers the hand.
Mentioning blouses, reminds me OF
the pretty collar and cuff sets now
arranged, as well as the smart twice
round the neck" ties of glace silk rib
bon, decorated with colored embroid-
cry in silk. The ends are V-shape, and
often hem-stitched or fagotted; then
raised dots, crescents, stars, or even
cut work devices are worked in col
ored silk, or that useful thread, peri
Lusta," which has all the appearance
of silk, and washes perfectly. The
collar and cuff sets are of glace silk,
edged with narrow crochet or tatted
edging worked in silk; or fine linen
or canvas sets ornamented with Har-
danger embroidery are the very latest,
this lovely work also ornamenting
blouses in the shape of straps for box
pleats, yOkes, etc.
For evening blouses there are roses,
asters, ETC., made of chiffon, with rib
bon or velvet ends, finished with the
flower bud. These floral additions re-
place the velvet bow and rosette SO
long worn, and are extremely chic.
Floral garnitures are much used for
evening gowns-the small banksia
roses being the favorite blossom. The
coarse Yak or woollen lace, used so
much for dress trimmings, is often
decorated with cross-stitch worked in
red and blue, pink and pale green. two
shades of orange, etc. 1t makes an ef-
fective trimming for flannel blouses;
the stitching being added to the lace,
and much enhances it's decorative pos
sibiIities.
For day wear the tailor-made gown
with short skirt and smartly cut coat,
fitting at the back, regulation coat

taste; then for more dressy wear

SUCCESS.

To you success is dear, and
Am hoping on and striving, too;
Perhaps the aim you have is high.
And God may prosper what you do.
See over there is one who stands
Proud-faced, from other men apart,
And there are jewels on his hands,
And Joy, perhaps, is in his heart
That he might heap up worldly stores
A hundred men and women died;
Great wealth is his, but at his doors
Love has been rudely thrust aside.
And men behold him where he goes,
Him unto whom mems lives are less
Than money is, and still suppose
That he has mounted to success.
