If he is really in earnest about the mat

how empty his life must be. He is TO be
pited who can see nothing in an innocent
child save a primordial savage. And who
would say that the sweet inqulsitiveness
of the babe is intolerable? Indiscreet?
Yes charmingly So Dirty? Sometimes, and
plcturesquely so. And what sort of home is
It that ranks in influence beneath the
boarding school? The greatest saying OF
Jean Paul Richter was this one. ~ love

able Cardinal Manning beautifully says in
one of his books: THAT We should APP

that they are very near to God" Over
against Shaw let US write Richter and Car

No man can be great in any line who
misses the spiritual significance of things.
Shaw never can become great. The purity
and power and promise and God-nearness
of the child are lost on him. If this man
who sees only the outside of somebody's
child-the dirty, InquisitIve and indiscreet
infant-could have child of his own, that
dimpled darling would teach him more in
minute than he has learned in a lifetime.

Miss Pfizer who sailed a few days since
for England, lunching at a fashionable
9Th avenue restaurant in black and white
shepherd plaid. The skirt was a princess
cut, and extended up into deep grdle
that was overlapped by the little bolero.
This Girdle was merely a shaped extension
of the skirt, not a piece originally separate
and afterward Joined on. The skirt was
sheath fitting round the waist line and
hips, and was invisibly closed. From the
hips down 1t flared out sharply, and while
standing out at the bottom in very deep
plaits, it had the appearance of being lined
with crinofne for some distance from the
bottom. The bolero was, of course, very
short, extending just over the edges of the
girdle, and had elbow-length sleeves that
tfared from the shoulder, with wide turned
back cuffs of embroidered white linen and
white collar. with big revers to match.
An altogether novel and beautiful dinner
gown received by a young inatron from
Paris is of pale green chiffon cloth, trim

wear, any more than in purchasing crepe

velvet for reception gown.
A handsome gown. but one almost inn
possible TO describe in detail, was seen late
~ at luncheon. 1t was pale yellow
satin foulard striped in n paler shade
and sprinkled with tiny black dots. There
was a foundation skirt, with plated
iounees at the bottom, and over this was
an overdress laid in three-quarter-inch
plaits In groups flom the waist line to the
bottom; this overdress was so cut that the
bottom formed very deep points, wide at
their upper terminations and a border of
pale yellow cloth an inch and half wide
went around the bottom The lower edge
of the points came within eight inches of
the lower edge or the underSkirt, which
swept the floor. The bodice was a plait
ed but close-ftting affair, with low stock
and yoke of yellow lace, and the full
pulled sleeves were also plated and fin

How to Buy Gloves

There are more important considerations
than their color and the number of the but
tons. Black gloves are generally less elias
tic than white or colored ones, and cheap
grades are dear at any price. Dressed kid
usually retains its freshness longer and is
more durable than suede. The best and
most servicable kid is soft, yielding and
elastic. A glove so small that 1t cramps
the hand and prevents grace of motion
gives poor service. Short-fingered gloves
are ugly and certain to break soon between
the fingers, If not at the tips. The way in
which glove is first drawn on and shaped
to the hand has much to do with both its
beauty and durability.
Unless you have ample time. do not have
them fitted at the shops, but at leisure
draw them on as here recommended and If
possible, wear them half an hour without
closing the fingers. In buttoning a glove
the greatest strain comes upon the first
button, SO. before attempting to fasten this
button the others, commencing with the
second one, and finish the. first button last

Summer Jewelry Keeps Up a Color
Scheme
Written for The Evening Star

Written for The Evening Star.
If ever girl INDUCES in her own sweet
fancy in the matter of jewelry it is in
summer. Good form dictates that she shall
wear certain jewelry with certain gowns at
certain functions during the winter, but
In summer she has some ieeway and goes
in more generally for the bizarre effects.
In this summer of 1905 her particular
fancy will be the necklace for wear with
dainty handmade blouses, which Dame
Fashion DEGREES shall be in high favor.
For morning wear she has chosen the
large. graduated bead necklace, which
hangs loosely about the throat, with a
bead as large as the thumbnail forming
the center, and reaching to a line with the
shoulders. These beads match in color the
skirt or belt of costume. One attractive
necklace for wear with tan skirt is COM
posed of graduated agate-like beads in Il
most delicate smoked ivory tint. Gold
beads are much larger than formerly, and
one girl has brought out a set of crystal
beads which her grandmother brought from
Switzerland many years ago. These are
beautifully cut, and sparkle like diamonds,
making most brilliant setting for her
distinguished features. Large crystal
beads can be bought nowadays only for
fabulous sums, though a tight-fitting neck
lace of small crystal beads can be purchaS-
ed for $40 by the girl who wishes to fol-
low the strictest dictates of fashion
Small necklaces of coral will also be ex-
tremely popular this summer. A string of
imitation coral beads which fits closely
around the throat and which shows the
beautiful light shade of the more expensive
ornamentation for white or cream coIored
waist.
OF all precious stones, none has been so
wonderfully initiated as the amethyst, both
in the light and dark color, and an expert
alone can judge of their real value. One
very quaint ornament for the base of the
throat shows amethysts about the size of
bean, cut fiat, with eight sides, and set
in silver, each setting being Joined by a
tiny silver link. Another necklace has
pear-shaped pendants suspended from a
silver filigree in the form of Grecian
border. Cushion-like squares of gun metal
half an inch in width hold a tiny rhinestone
in each center and are connected with in
visible links. Canoes carved in pink shells
are Joined with gold filgree and worn as
a necklace.
Popular are these large neck orna-
ments, the little chain from which pend
ants bangle still holds its own. A chain
of small rhineStones bears on each of its
links long icicle-shaped pendant. Bright
jet chains holding long jet pendants of
varying length also give a cleaning, radi-
ating effect about the neck. Pendants in
the design of Egyptian harps hang from
fragile silver chains, and show tiny stones
of different color. Simple gold chains are
employed for hanging jeweled crosses about
the neck, and the charming little pearl
and emerald drops will continue to be the
brides favorite gift for her maids.

A Little Too Precocious.

FROM the Los Angeles Times.
Arson Phelps Stokes, Jr., the millionaire
secretary Of Yale, takes a profund inter-
est in children. Walking with an under
graduate, he said the other day:
Children should be modest, shy, quiet.
That type Of child is apt to turn out better
in the end than the clever, laxative, pre-

nobler mind. The talkative and precocious
type is apt to be shallow.
