New YORK, Nov. 10, 1904. -Judg-
ing from the variety of materials shown for
shirt waists, they seem more firmly in
trenched than ever; and with reason, as in
high class varieties, nothing is so captva-
ting. For morning wear, travelling or
golfng, the flannel waist is Just the
thing, and in fine quality French fan
nels. or those Of domestic manufacture, the
gay plaids or stripes are really charming,
made up either straight or on the bias,
with gilt or pearl buttons in twos or threes
at each side of the front The Clan Plaids
are well represented in both silk or wool,
plainly made with small buttons as the sole
trimming. Poplins, louisines or tafetas
are also appropriate for shirt waists.
Plain white flannel waists embroidered
in crimson, blue or brown dots, with small
sprays on the centre plat at the front are
also very attractive. Velvet, the soft vel
veteens with chiffon finish, or crushed vel
vet waists are very effective, and hghtened
by white lace or embroidery are suitable
for evening or theatre wear. All waists
of the above mentioned materials are plain
" made-a French back, a small blouse
front and medium sized sleeves with a cuff,
and either tucked yokes or long Plaits, pre-
serving the original idea of the shirt waist.
Plain white or colored silk waists with lace
yokes or of figured or plain messahne, EN-
broidered or figured crepe de Chine, white
brocaded silk, lace of all descriptions, net
chiffon or a combination of two laces, are
called ''dressy waists
Furs, as represented by c. c. Shayne,
are more attractive than ever, including
ermine. Russian and Hudson Bay sable,
chinchilla, mink, broadtail Persian lamb,
seal and dark Eastern mink Practical
garments for utility wear are made Of Per
sian lamb, about tweuty-four inches in
length, some however being twenty seven
inches long. and without collar, as a neck
piece of another fur Is considered more
stylish. Fancy jackets are made Of broad
tail. with collar. reverS and cuffs Of ermine,
chinehilla or mink Some medium length
coats of various fIrs are trimmed with er-
mine, mink, chinchilla, squirrel or mole
skin, with sleeves wide, near the large,
open cuff, and have an independent neck
piece Many Persian lamb jackets are in
modified blouse style with contrasting
revers, collar and cuffs. Three-quarer
length coats come IN Hudson Bay or Rus
sian sable mink, chinchilla, ermiue, broad
tail and seal. les expensive ones are Of
squirrel. moleskiu or careful For round
or fat boas, the furs most generally used.
are Russian or Hudson Bay sable. mink
ermine, marten. Alaska sable skunk
lynx, bear, sable-dyed or natural squirrel
and all the fox furs in addition. Comb
nation neck pieces. made Of moleskin and
ermine, are particularly pretty and mutfs
also show the advantages Of two furs The

PASS UNDER THE ROD.

saw the young bride, in her beauty and pride,
Bedecked in her snowy array,
And the bright flush of JOY mantled high on
her cheek,
And the future looked blooming and gay.
And with womans devotion she laid her fond
heart
At the shrine of idolatrous love.
And she anchored her hopes to this perishing
earth
By the chain which her tenderness wove.
But saw when those heart-strings were bleed
ing and torn,
And the chain had been severed in two,
She had changed her white robes for the sables
of grief,
And her bloom for the paleness of woe!
But the Healer was there, pouring balm on
her heart,
And wiping the tears from her eyes;
He strengthened the chain he had broken in
twain,
And fastened it firm to the skies!
There had whispered voice-'twas the voice
of her God
Il love thee, love thee-pass under the
rodr'
saw the young mother in tenderness bend
Ger the couch of her sumbering boy;
And she kissed the soft lips. as they muir
INJURED her name,
While the dreamer lay smiling in JOY.
o! sweet as the rosebud encrcled with dew,
When its fragrance is flung on the air,
So fresh and so bright to that mother he
seemed
As he lay in his innocence there.
But saw, when she gazed on the same lovely
form.
Pale as marble, and silent and cold;
But paler and colder her beautiful boy,
And the tale of her sorrow was told!
But the Healer was there who had stricken her
heart,
And taken her treasure away;
To allure her to heaven he has placed it on
high
And the mourner will sweetly obey.
There had whispered a voice--'twas the voice
of her God
II love thee, l love thee--Pass under the
rodr
saw father and mother who leaned
On the arms of dear gifted son,
And the star in the future grew bright 10 their
gaze
As ;hey saw the proud place he had won;
And the fast,coming evening of life promised
fair,
And its pathway grew smooth to their feet;
And the starlight of love glimmered bright al
the end,
And the whispers Of fancy were sweet.
And saw them again bending low DER the
grave
Where their hearts dearest hope had been
laid,
And the star had gone dowu 10 the darkness
of night,
And the JOY from their bosom had fed.
But the Healer was there, and his arms we're
around,
And be led them with tenderesi care;
And he showed them star 10 the bright upper
world
Twas their star shining brilliantly there!
They had each heard a voiee-'twas the voice
of their God

Large Families.

The North Of England, SAYS London
Tit Bits, seems TO be fertile soil for large
families, for in 1891 We read of a Cuga
berlaud man and his wife, accompanied by
thirty Of their children. al attending the
christening Of the thirty first child; aud IN
earlier years another north coungyman,
Thomas Greenhill, applied 10 the thea
Duke Of Norfolk. Earl Marshal, for an
augmentation to his coat arms GA The
singular ground that be was the seventh
son aud thirty ninth child Of one father and
mother.
In Conway churchyard there was to be
seen, it can scarcely be there today, a tomb
stone bearing the following remarkable ep-
itaph: Here lyeth the body of Nicholas
Hooker, Of Conway. gentleman, who was
the forty first child of his father, William
Hooker, BY Alice, his wife, and the father
of twenty seven children, 1851.
If a man family be considered as 10
Guiding all his descendants, that Of Peter
Smith who fourished in New jersey in
the seventeenth century, Is entitled to
high place Of honor, for at a recent annual
gathering of Peter progeny no fewer than
1000 met and dined together under the
apple trees in the orchard attached to the
ancestral homestead.
In families it Is not an unknown Thing
for one child TO be old enough to have a
sister or brother young enough to be his
or her great -grandchild Thus the eldest
son of Thomas Beatty, of Drumcoudra,
had passed his I'D birthday when his
youngest brother qualified for the cradle.
When William Frost, Of Galphay near
Ripon, died in 1889 his eldest child was a
sturdy boy of IS summers and his young
est was barely 10, and the Lady Powers
court of today is half century older than
her latest brother
Three are cases on record where cen
fury or more has divided the wedding days
OF father and son. The first Earl of Lei
cester was first married in 1875, and his
son led his second wife to the altar in Au-
gust, 1873; while Captain Francis Maude,
who was married on June %, lS49, was
following the example his father, Lord
Hawarden, had set him ninety three years
earlier in 1856 But both these cases
are quite eclipsed by that of General G..
Stevenson, Of Bristol, who was united to
his third wife in 1884 at the age Of 50.
and whose father was first wed in 1904,
the year of Blenheim. This seeming in-
possibility is accounted for by the fact that
the father, who was born in 1880, was
married for the third time at the age of
20, and the general was the son Of this
late union Thus we get the remarkable
result of a man whose father was born in
Charles IFS reign wooing and wedding
within the memory Of many people still
living.

Recommended to Those Who Would
Have Blooms from January TO June,
All things considered, the geranium Is
our best plant for winter towering IL
blooms freely and constantly, IN most in
stances, and adapts itself TO the conditions
prevailing in the ordinary living room more
readily than almost any other plant have
any knowledge Of And it requires very
little care. Its ability to take care of it.
self is one of the strong arguments in It's
favor, especially with the amateur who Is
distrustfnl Of bis skin in the management
OF plants that insist on having their pecu
harities humored It has little to boast Of
in the way Of attractive foliage-thougE
plant well set with vigorous, healthy fol-
age Is far from being unhandsome-bu 1t
has right to pride itself on the beauty Of
its flowers Some of the scarlet varieties
are 50 exceedingly brilliant that they ac-
taally seem 10 impart feeling Of warmth
to the observer.
The little child who declared that aun-
sie's geraniums were ION fire was con
tcious of this suggestion of heat in the in
tensity of color which characterizes some
of the most richly colored sorts. Others
are extremely delicate in color and tint
Some are pure white. All the recently
introduced varieties have large, wide petal
ed flowers, borne in trusses of good size,
on long stalks. A well developed plant,
symmetrical in shape and properly furnished
with foliage TO serve as a background
against which to display its blossoms efiec-
lively, is magnificent sight when in full
bloom, notwithstanding the fact that some
persons sneer at the geranium as being
common.
All beauty is common in a sense, and |
would as soon object to the sky and the
sunshine because the beauty for them is
for the enjoyment of everybody, therefore
common, as to seek to disparage flower
because it was one that everybody could
grow and enjoy.
Anyone can undertake the culture of
the geranium with reasonable certainty Of
success who can give a good soil to grow
in, water enough to keep it always moist
at the roots, a sunny location and freedom
from frost. Insects seldom attack it, 1t
has healthy constitution that gives it
immunity from the disease SO common to
most other plants, and it will reward you
Tor care it receives at your hands by max
ing your window bright with bloom as few
other plants can. Therefore you make no
mistake IN selecting it for your window
garden. But be sure to get plants that
have not been allowed to bloom during the
summer.
Such plants have exhausted themselves,
and, nine times out of ten, they will insist
on taking rest during the winter months.
The ideal geranium for winter use Is the
plant which has been kept steadily growing
during summer, but has had every bud re-
moved as soon as seen. Such plant will
bloom profusely from January to June

A Terrible Abyss.
BY Carmen sylvia, Queen of Roumania.

There is an abyss in this world so deep that
no man has ever been able to fathOm it. No
human being has ever penetrated to Its dark
and gruesome bottom to return to tell OF its
horrors.
This abyss has not been dug by human
hands, but many have worked with axe pick
and hammer to make it larger. Many have
blasted away the rocks on both sides to make it
wider and easier for their brethren to fall into.
But there have also been thousands who
have done everything in their power to fill 1t
up. They have thrown down into it all they
had, all they could and all the loved. what
they could spare and what they could not spare,
to fill this terrible chasm, aud flowers grow on
of their memory graves IN their good will.
One man threw all his songs into it. and the
songs grew and sweled until they became like
large river. which covered everything and
for time the abyss could not be seen. But
the river ran out, and the chaSm was still there,
as broad and deep as ever.
Another threw his love into it. 1t was light
as feathers and soft as down, and seemed to
fill the abyss, but great fire came and de.
voured ii all.
Still another threw in all his thoughts. They
were strong and mighty and piled like rocks.
and people began to think that the abyss had
now been filed up forever, but whole noun
tain collapsed. and the hole was there, deeper
and more terrible than ever.
One man threw in himself, because he had
heard that by sacrificing his life he could fill
up the chasm, and for long time it seemed
as if he had succeeded but after a while the
deep swallowed him up and the chasm was
still there.
Another man threw in all his riches, but they
were swallowed up Immediately.
Another threw IN all his SiuS. and they not
only filled the precipice, but lowered above
IL ike vast mountain; but, As if some strange
mse.strom were at work below the mountain,
they were swallowed up and disappeared with
out ieayiug any trace except that the opening
seemed to have grown still larger.
