Tn Silken Attire.

Of course you know the death knell
of the silk shirt waist suit has been
sounded with the fashionables in the
avalanche Of those natty and comfort
able dresses that the department stores
have been closing out at bargain prices.
Indeed, the woman who goes in for
exclusive styles dropped it from her
list Of "de rigeuers" at the close of last
season, and wore it in appreciation of
it's past usefulness as a modest morn
ing gown during the winter months.
The silk manufacturers and merchants
have had at least two good seasons,
and with so much encouragement they
seem to have outdone themselves in
the quality and design of the simmer
ing fabrics that have been put on dis.
play in the shops as ''the very latest"
for the coming season. Chiffon velvet
l. a new and very beautiful trimming
material. and one which will not be-
come too common, as it's price puts it
beyond the reach Of most purses. The
material is so ligEt in weight and so
soft in texture that half yard can
easily be crushed in the palm Of ones
hand. It comes in all the new shades
and is especially lovely in mauve and
purple tones.

belts, round belts, pointed belts all are
worn and width is made to depend
largely upon individual needs. The
four May Manton designs here shown
include q generous variety, but are all
somewhat wider at the back, narrower
at the front, so forming the lines that
are best liked and most generally be-
coming. Number one is made of peau
de cynge and is made pleated at the
back, where it is held in place by strips
Of bone, and passed through a ring at
the centre front, the ends being cut to
form points. Number two gives a
pointed effect at the front and round
at the back. The material is taffeta
simply stitched. The round portion and
the pointed one are separate and are
joiped by means Of small buckles. No.
three is wide and round, but shaped
at the end and is held by buckle. The
model is made of black satin with ap-
pliaue of white cloth, but many COM
binations are to be seen. Number four
is another draped belt. but Of quite a
different sort from number two. The
material is Liberty ribbon, with trim
ming of straps passed through small
crocheted rings at the back and a fas-
tening formed by bigger rings. The
back is laid in pleats that are held in

THE FELLOW WHO CAN WHISTLE.

The fellow who can whistle when the
world is going wrong
Is the fellow who will make the most of
life;
No matter what may happen, you will find
him brave and strong
Hes the fellow who viii conquer in the
strife.
The fellow who can whistle when the
whole world seems to frown
Is the kind of man to stand the battle's s
brunt;
He's got the proper metal, and you cannot
keep him down,
For he's Just the sort that's needed at
the front.
The fellow who can whistle is the fellow
who can work,
With, note of cheer to vanquish plod-
ding care; =,
His soul is filled with music, and no evil
shadows lurk
The fellow who can whistle is the trump"
card of the deck,
Or the "whip-hand,' in the pariance OF
the street;
No petty cares nor trifes can his buoyant
spirit check,
For a sunny heart can never know de-
feat.
The fellow who can whistle-he is built on
natures plan.
And he cheers his toiling fellow-men
along;
There is no room for pessimists, but give
to US the man
Who can whistle when the world is
going wrong.

Women and Religion.

A writer in Harper's Weekly has
some striking observations.t make on
the subject of the emancipated woman
Of to-day and her attitude towards re-
ligion. 1t is noted that although, ac-
cording to the testimony Of ministers,
men are attending church more now
than they were decade ago, women
of leisure, on the other hand, are at
tending less regularly and in fewer
numbers than formerly. Nor is it with
out significance, says the writer, that
the most explicit, outspoken plea for
absolute individualism in matters of
religion. and the ablest argument in
favor of abstention from social forms
Of worship, should have been made by
q woman-Mrs. Margaret Deland, the
well-known novelist 1t is question
whether or not "wohan's eating of the
fruit of the tree of knowledge will
be good for the church and rewarding

Advertising and Profits.

The American invasion Of Great Brit

of English business men as to the i'm
portance of newspaper publicity. Thus
a London correspondent notes that an
English soap company which adopted
the American method of changing its
advertisements every day and taking
space enough for a good display an

350,OO0, which is nearly a quarter Of a
million more than the profits of any
former year. The gain is credited to

Elinor tried to draw away. "Mr.

me-" she answered.
Just then there was hustle at the
door, and a bellboy handed telegram
to Mrs. Landers, who tore it open and
gave a little cry of pleasure. Just

city this morning and is on his way
to spend a week with me. I didn't
expect to see him for another month"
"Your husband" said Elinor, blankly.
"Will you please tell me how many

Mrs. Landers looked puzzled. Then

she laughed until she almost cried.

evening gowns are made with the lit

are the rule, and many low-necked
gowns are seen with sleeves reaching
to the wrist. They are made Of lace
