one This tunic portion was two inches
shorter than the foundation Over this
came another similar section, but twelve
inches shorter, the sides tapping over
little on line running down in front of
the hips. The edge of each of these was
stitched several times; just back of the
stitching where the tunics sloped toward
the back. were two button mofds an inch
across. At the top the skirt was plain
and fiat, save in the center back, where
the upper tuntc was laid In double box
plaits pressed fat.
The little coat was apparently very
large circular piece of the cloth, cut out
In the center to fit around the neck, and
to this was attached a high standing coll
lar having also turned over collar OF
velvet stretched all over and closing with
three small button molds covered with
dark velvet and loops of silk cord. There
were no shoulder seams or center back
seam, the ma teriaI flowing out over the
shoulders and down into voluminous
sleeves. 1t was of course cut under the
arms and the sleeve-portions lifted out,
and then the body closed. Apparently,
too semi-eircular sections of cloth were
fitted into the sleeve underneath, as the
sleeves were too full to have all their folds
of the original circular section They
ended halfway between the elbows and
the hands, the folds being gathered into
turned-over cuff five inches wide or
stitched velvet-the cuffs flowing out well.
The sleeves evidently had shorter. smaller
silk Innings as the broadc1oth fell in
dropping pun effect to the faring GUNS.
The back of the coat was plain, and in
the front the right side was laid In several
upward turning paits ending under large
velvet covered button mold; the ends were
then carried up in a slanting direction to
the left shoulder, where they were hooked
to the shoulder seams The other side or
the loose front hung to the waist line In
full folds the side disappearing under the
overlapping right section. At the top. at
tached to the overlapping section, was one
single, very wide velvet revers, stitched to

the crossing folds of the coats right side.
Topping this was a soft round hat OF
felt, with a cut edge In pale mauve. Inc

crown with two tiny, prune-colored ostrich
tips curling to the left, and between brim

better word, with white silk passementerie
running from the top to bottom of each
seam. Around the front and sides of the
skirt at the lower edge was ten-inch
ffounce of flIny lace. The thin white lace
guimpe instead of having a stock had the
round or Dutch neck crossed in surplice
fashion. The bodice was trimmed with
draped fiounee of point lace, and the
sleeves which came ~bardty to the elbow
were unlined puffs of point lace terminal
ing in narrow ruffies of the same lace
Clusters of orange blossoms were caught
in the frills of each sleeve.
The veil was wide scarf Of point lace,
but while the bride was fairylike in her
proportions, the veil was SO draped as to
seem as youthful as one of tulie 1t was
held in place by high coronet of orange
blossoms, and so draped that the edges OF
the scarf came at the back and formed
cascade effect to a little below the waist
line, the arrangement being altogether novel
and graceful.
The bridesmaids who We're the Misses
Helen Talbot ELEPHANT. Arietta Prentice,
Ray Winters and Christine kean Roose-
welt, were in gowns of pale pink chiffon
cloth, the skirts having many tucks around
the bottom. and the bodices elbow sleeves
of chiffon, with founces of point applique
and fichus of the same lace having long
ends reaching nearly 10 the bottom of the
skirt.
The skirts. by the way, were gathered
full at the top under wide folds, forming
the girdles of pink satin and the inch
wide tucks, couple of inches apart around
the bottom were five in number.
The sleeves were puffs of chiffon to the
elbows, where folds of pink satin were
wound around and formed into fiat loops
at the back. There were elbow frills of
lace applique. The guimpes, also of the
lace. had round necks, and each attendant
wore the brides gift, necklace with PEN
dants of pink tourmalnes. The lace
fichus were held together by fiat chous of
pink satin, and the long ends, wide at the
tended nearly to the bottom of their gowns.
Their black beaver ehapeaus were rolled
much at the left side. starting from under
the brim at the left, quadrupfe ruche of
pink tulie extending over the brim and
down to the crown. Pink ostrich tips also

School Girls Who Are
Afraid of Nice
BY MARGARET E. sANGsrER.

Copyright, 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles)
What was that you said Dorothy? Am
I sure. that I heard you aright2 Are you
really afraid OF little gray mouse that
you could hold in your hand. that scut-
ties away from you in terror and that,
measured by inches. is less formidable than
a rabbit or squirrel?
Yes, YOU own it without a blush. You
really are afraid OF mouse. So are Fran
ces Jane and ever so many others of your
friends.
A marked aversion to the entire family
of rodents Is pronounced feature of most
women whether they are little or large.
The little woman of ten screams at the
sight of a mouse and so does her older
sister, and very likely her mother and
her grandmother are equally as alarmed at
the appearance of this small monster which
is indeed beast of prey. but such a wee
bit of beast, not In the least like Hon
or tiger. a panther or wolf. Probably
the dislike to mice is natural with most
of us for the very good reason that a
mouse in the pantry makes disagreeable
depredations. and apart from the toll he
takes is anything but clean: that a mouse
In the bureau drawer nibbles gloves and
eats buttons II they are covered with silk
and that a mouse in the bed room anyway
Is not just the companion one would choose
at the midnight hour.
MICE are pretty little lnlHgS Win tnclr
gray coats and their bead-like eyes. but
they belong to the class of creatures which
for our own preservation we must fight.
am not asking my girls to like them. but
for PHYS sake, Dorothy, do overcome your
terror at their mention.
A mouse has never yet been known to
devour school girl
wish I could persuade you not to be
afraid of anything great or small. We
must take certain precautions To walk
up as some fearless girls do to a strange
dog. patting him on the head and trying
to be friends with him without being sure
that their acquaintance is desired, is some-
times dangerous and always a risk. Dogs
are the dearest friends we have in the
brute creation. They are loyal to their
masters and they sometimes seem endowed
with almost human intelligence. But they
are very much like men and women. They
prefer to choose their friends. and they
may resent approaches from people who
have not been properly introduced. Never
feel or show apprehension when YOU meet
dog that is quietly going about its own
affairs, but do not be familiar with dog
or cat or other domestic animal until you
have right to be so because you have en-
tered the circle of Its friends.

to do except to enjoy yourself This, too.
belongs largely to the realm of physical
courage.
Now | want to speak about a higher kind
OF courage There are brave people who
never shrink from danger that menaces the
body, but who are moral towards They
are afraid to speak the truth IL the truth
Will injure themselves. They are afraid to
endure anxiety about their loved ones They
hide from their own eyes things they do not
want to see. Whatever else one may be-
one should try very hard TO be morally
brave. At any cost. be true and noble. Let
me quote for you Charles KIngsley's stanza
which every girl should know by heart
Be good, sweet maid, and let who viii be clever,
DO noble things not dream them all day long.
And 80 make life, love and the great forever
One grand. sweet song"

One rule we may as well as not lay down
for ourselves, girls. and that Is rule Of
self-coDtrol. One may be little frightened
inside. but she does not need to proclaim
It. Because we happen to dislike bats.
beetles. June bugs. dragon flies or any other
member of the world of creeping and flying
things that scurry out of space to disturb
us, we need not communicate our feeling
to others. If we choose we may control
all expression of dislike. dismay or dread.
We may sometimes feel afraid, but we
may keep ourselves from showing it.
All through our lives We should try not
to be in bondage to any form of fear.
Some girls cannot bear pain. They dis
tress themselves more In the thought of
what they may have to suffer from slight
operation or an injury than the pain itself
suffer more from fright than from real
ity. Once In awhile one meets a girl al
most grown up who Is afraid OF the dark.
or any of her friends. The fear of the
dark is a tyranny which assafls children
who have been wickedly alarmed by nurses
or interruptions persons and who fancy that
dangers of every kind Turk behind the
friendly curtain of the night But our
Heavenly Father sends this kind darkness
so that we may sleep and rest and there Is
nothing in it to give any one the slightest
fear. The stars are it's lamps and the moon
at the full floods II with glory as great
as that Of the sun. While we sleep our
God watches above US and HIS angels are
our guards.
Another thing almost as foolish as the
fear of the mouse IL the fear some peo-
pie have OF taking different diseases. In
case OF an epidemic such as diphtheria,
typhoid fever or cholera, too many precau-
lions cannot be taken. and ones duty Is
not on the scene of action 1t is well to go
to safer place.
But no one should be q coward. II dis
eases are about there Is no reason to sup
pose that you who are IN good health will
necessarily take them To be constantly
distressed lest one day or another you or
I shall be menaced by scarlet fever or
smallpox is very needless and quite units
us for doing our daily work.
This courage that have been talking
about thus far is purely physical would
not like any girl for whom cared to be
afraid to cross the continent or the ocean
because something might happen on the
rail or on the sea. The ship Is the cap
tain's business and the railway train Is In
charge OF the conductor and engineer. You
may be reasonably sure that the average
man will fulfil the requirements OF his po-
sition and you - q passeuger have nothing

and crown at this point a rose shaded
mauve and prune piquet. A fold of prune-
eolored velvet was twisted loosely about
the crown.
The frock worn by Miss Annie Adams
Sturges, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Cady Sturges, was white messaline hav-
ing lace yoke, stock and elbow sleeves.
1t had deep girdle. and insertions of lace
decorated the skirt. A spray of silver
flowers was fastened at the left of the
bodice.
Miss Virginia Nicholas. who made her
bow on Thursday. also Wore trailing
frock of white chiffon over silk with lace
founces at the bottom, and lace elbow
sleeves and guimpe.
Gorgeous, indeed, are many of the car
rage and evening coats. One of the latter
has an Elton top, with high rolling collar
and long sleeves of chinchIlla fur, while
the lower part, which comes to below the
knees, is OF pale gray chiffon velvet, deco
rated with appliques of steel and silver
passementerie and silver braid applied d.
rectly to the velvet. 1t is lined with bro
caded satin. pale gray background over
which are scattered tiny pink roses and
green leaves
This is not only handsome but SEN
sible wrap, as the fur top and sleeves give
the necessary additional warmth for the
bare neck and arms This top and the
sleeves have white chiffon between the
brocade. and have over the brocade another
lining OF white chiffon that can be easily
renewed. In the jacket top the chiffon
forms a deep. hemstttched founce ending
perhaps six inches from above the waist
line. The sleeves are large and roomy to
the elbows, where two plaits are laid in at
the back, and cuff sleeves to the knuckles,
but also of the fur, are attached. This
cuff has a frili of white lace falling over
the fingers, and on the outside of the cuff
is appliqued silver flower The rolling
collar is lined by a plating OF white chiffon
tackled over the fur and falling back over
the top for perhaps an inch, the edge being
lace
The Elton coat section Is short enough to
give the empire cut to the coat, and where
are at the center back two double box
plique. some eight inches broad, goes
around the coat just below the hip line and
another is applied at the extreme lower
edge.
This passementerie is extremely rich, be-
ing of velvet worked with steel beads and
braided in silver soutache, with now and
then hint of gray chenille and silk cord.
The designs are rich. heavy leaves and an
occasional flower like those on the cuffs.
In closing, the coat fronts lap perhaps
1--WE inches, the fasteners being carved sill
yer, and on each overlapping portion-it has
q double set OF silver clasps-at the bot
tom Is attached an ornament in silver and
steel pendants like miniature cat tails sus-
pended by strings OF steel beads from fiat
