1 be cleaned nearly so often. The sleeves have much fulness at the shoulder, and at the wrist there is trimming of strapped stitching.
 The other blouse is intended for dres- sier wear. It is made of white material wool, silk, or soft satin-and the one from which the cut was copied had spots of turquoise-blue It was piped with tur- quoise-blue silk, and the buttons used on the yoke and sleeves were covered with the same silk. Notice the box-pleated sleeves, and the shape of the yoke. Either of these blouses may be made of soft challis and have for trimming a pretty lace collar.
 Deep yokes and chemisettes are very pretty for misses: and at present are very popular Crepe de chine is a suit able material for the young girls best frock. A pretty design has soft folds coming from the shoulders and crossing in front. A deep girdle of soft ribbon, very long in front, is worn with this, and fastens at one side with knot and long ends hanging down. A chemisette of cream net, hand-tucked, is worn with this waist, and little trimming of cream insertion may be used on the waist, though we prefer it without. The stock should be transparent. stiffened with light feather-bone. And, by the way, we might as we'll mention here that stocks for women and girls are to be very largely on this order the coming season; a very comfortable as we'll as pretty fashion.
 With such frock might be worn this summer either Charlotte Corday hat of light blue silk, or a soft straw trimmed with only wreath of flowers; pink would be very effective with the light blue pastel combinations are es- pecially pretty for the youthful face.
 Washable Japanese silks, which come in variety of attractive colors and de- signs. are popular for evening frocks for young girls, and Chint silk is liked for elder sisters as we'll as children. The young girls, and China silk is liked for shops will fail to take her into ac- count.

Frocks for the Small Children

trimmings are of blue the shade of the flowers in the goods. Hair ribbon and stockings should match trimming.
 Speaking of styles for small boys, Buster Brown affairs still continue; whether the popularity is owing to the name or to the designs themselves it would be hard to say. Both boys and girls are less fussily dressed than for merly. and everything chosen for them seems to be principally with reference to whether or not it will wash A very sensible turn of fashions wheel.
 White wool stockings for the small ones are much in vogue. and it is need less to say these articles have to be rubbed very frequently. But they are pretty. go we'll with dresses and Bus ter Browns" of any and all colors.
 The stores are showing now some ex- cellent additions tothechild's wardrobe; bibs that have sleeves attached. or rath- CT we may say they are half-attached. being sewn in only part way around. There are to be had over-alls of divers sorts. very sensible dark gingham slip ons for the creeping taby.
 Sashes are not so much in evidence as once: the small ones. if their mothers do not. seem really affected by the move ment toward a simple life.

fitted to her plump figure. There was a new and splendid dignity in her car. riage, her big blue eyes, her nose with it's little upward slant. She was now the well groomed young woman of so. ciety in the full glory of her youth. Uncle ED, who sat between us, pinch ed her cheek playfully. A little spot of white showed moment where his fingers had been; then the pink flooded over it.
 "Never see a girl git such smack as you did," he said, laughing.
 'Well," said she, smiling, II guess I gave as good as got.'

 When we had come back from dinner Uncle ED drew off his boots and sat comfortably in his stocking feet, while Hope told of her travels and I of my soldering She had been at the con servatory nearly the whole period of her absence and hastened home when she learned of the battle and of my wound She had landed two days be- fore
 Hopes friend and Uncle ED went away to their rooms in good season; then I came and sat beside Hope on the sofa.
 Lets have good talk" said
 There was an awkward bit of silence.
 "Well,' said she, her fan upon her lips. tell me more about the war"
 Tired of war;" answered. Love is a better subject"
 She rose and walked up and down the room, troubled look in her face. I thought had never seen a woman who could carry her head so proudly.
 "I don't think you are very familiar with it," said she presently.
 T ought to be-" answered, having loved you all these years.'
 But you told me that-that you lov- ed another girl" she said, her elbow leaning on the mantel, her eyes looking down soberly.
 When? Where?' l asked.
 "In Mrs. Fuller's parlor."
 Hope" l said, you misunderstood me. I meant you"
 She came toward me then, looking up into my eyes. started to embrace her.

'Nfy son." he said, taking my hand in his. why didn't you run?''
 Didn't dare" I answered. "I knew it was more dangerous to run away than to go forward"
 Reminds me of a story" said he. smiling. Wears ago there was a bully fin Sangamon county. H., that had the reputation of running faster and fight ing harder than any man there. Every body thought he was terrible fighter. He'd always get man on the run; then he'd ketch up and give him a lick ing One day he tackled a lame man. The lame man licked him in minute.
 Why didn't ye run:' somebody ask cd the victor.
 Didn't dast.' said he. Run once when he tackled me. an I've been lame ever since.
 How did 70 manage to lick him: said the other.
 "'Waal.' said he. I he'd to. an done 1t easy
 That's the ay it goes said the i'm mortal president; ''ye do it easy if ye have to.
 He reminded me in and out of Hor- ace Greeley. although they looked no mOrp alike than q hawk and a hand saw. But they had Ike habit of for getting themselves and of saying nei- ther more nor less than they meant They both had the strength of an OK and as little vanity Mir Greeley used to say that no man could amount tO anything who worried much about the fit of his trousers. Neither of them ever encountered that obsfacic.

 The big platform at Jersey City was crowded with many people as we got oil the train There were other return ing soldiers. some with crutches. some with empty sleeves

but she caught my hands and held them apart and came close to me.
 Did you say that you meant me?' she asked in whisper.
 "I did"
 Why did you not tell me that night?' Because you would not listen to me and We were interrupted"
 "Well, if l loved girl" she said I'd make her listen"
 T would have done that, but Mrs. Fuller saved you"
 You might have written" she sug- eested in tone of injury.
 "I did"
 And the letter never came-just as I feared
 She looked very sober and thoughtful then.
 You know our understanding that day in the garden" she added. If you did not ask me again l was to know yOu-you did not love me any longer. That was long. long ago."
 'I never loved any girl but you," said. "I love you now. Hope. and that is enough. I love you so there is noth- ing else for me. You are dearer than my life. It was the thought of you that made me brave in battle. I wish I could be as brave here But demand your surrender. shall give you no quarter now
 ''I wish knew." she said. whether whether you really love me or not;'
 Don't you believe me. HopeT'
 "Yes. I believe you" she said. but but you might not know your own heart"
 Tt longs for you" said. Tt keeps me thinking of you always. Once it was so easy to be happy: since you have been away it has seemed as if there were no longer any light in the world or any pleasure. It has made me slave. I did not know that love was such a mighty thing
 Love is no Cupid: he is a giant" she said. her voice trembling with emotion as mine had tremb.ed ''I tried to for get. and he crushed me under his feet ss if to punish me-
 She was near to crying now. but she shut her lips firmly and kept back the tears God grant me l may never for get the look in her eyes that moment. She came closer to me Our lips touch ei: my arms held her tightly

 I was warming with embarrassment.

 In accounts of the battle I had seen some notice of my leading a charge. but my fame had gone farther-much farther. indeed-than l knew. I stood moment laughing-an odd sort of laugh 1t was that had in it the salt of tears-and waving my hand to the many who were now calling my name In the uproar of cheers and waving of handkerchiefs could not find Uncle Eb for a moment. When I saw him in the breaking crowd he was cheering Justify and waving his hat above his head. His enthusiasm increased when I stood before him.

daughters development may
 make sad mistake; either chide her unduly for vanity, or else pam per her until she becomes entirely ab- sorbed in the matter of dress. The mid de way is the sensible.
 At this age girls are peculiarly sensi- tive, and to give them a fair measure of content by all means endeavor to dress them so they do not feel out of place in their set;;" perhaps never again will they have just this same anxiety about clothes as at the period when it is about time to do up the hair and lengthen the skirts. But though remembrance of the time when we had this girlish longing after complete and pretty wardrobe makes us sympathetic, on the other hand there is influence to lead us to warn elders strenuously to check any tenden- cy on the young girls part for over dress and inordinate display. We all see entirely too much of the high school girls absorption in dress to the detri- ment of her studies and wholesome out door exercise; better she were clad in homespun and hobnailed shoes than given over to French heels and silk pet ticoats.
 Enough of the sermon. Now for the fashions.
 Our illustration shows couple of blouses that are among the newest of the spring modes for the demoiselle. The one worn by the standing figure is made of cream-colored wool; the front is fairly full, to hide any youthful want of curves; the deep collar is of the self material and finished with stitching in green, blue or any color desired. The front part is arranged to form charm ing little vest. buttoning down the cen ter, and stitched to match the collar. A pretty feature of this model is the inner vest of soft white lawn; this can be cas- lily removed for the frequent washings 1t will need, the blouse itself not having to

GREAT CITIES.
A Theory That They Are n Sign OI
National Decndence.

The distribution of manufactures in
any country would be most curious
and interesting subject Of study. The
first thing to stand out cOnspicuously
in the Investigation would be the grad.
ual tendency toward concentration in
the larger cities and the gradual reces.
sion Of manufactures outside them.
Certain sections Of the country are full
Of decaying communities, once active,
but from which the chief Industries
have been Withdrawn. If investigation
disclosed the fact that certain centers
Of manufacture had become such
through the possession of pre-eminent
natural advantages, such a condition
would be easily explained; but, in fact,
natural advantages have comparative
ly little to do with the matter.
country consisting mainly of large
cities with merely incidental rural pop
ulation has taken a long step toward
final disintegratiOn. Moreover, even II
actual disintegration is not Imminent,
there exists the curious and anoma-
lOus condition Of a community in which
the transportation and distribution Of
commodities are the predominant ele-
ments, in which producer and consumer
stand at the ends of long chain of
Intermediates. 1t is bad enough in
this respect even at present, but every
step toward further concentration of
industry and population makes It

ductive forces are steadily being sub

NEARING TIME TO WORK.
WaIla Walla Street Car and Interur-
ban Lines Certain.

Walla Walla, July 21.-It is an
nounced that work will begin on the
proposed street railway system in
Walla Walla in a short time. All the
estimates, data, maps, etc, have been
forwarded to the eastern representa-
tives of the company for their in
spection and approval, and for the in
formation of the people who have
proposed to handle the bond issues.
AS soon as these preliminaries are
out of the way it is expected that the
final routes of the system will be
announced and actual construction
work begin. The surveys for the city
lines are all complete to the minute
details and there will be no further
delay on account of more surveys.
The interurban line to College
Place Freewater and Milton, has been
surveyed over a number of different
routes, nearly all of which are practi-
cal and of comparatively the same
cost, until the question of right of way
is considered. AS soon as the word
comes from the eastern representa-
tives to proceed, the work of securing
the right of way will begin, and 1t will
then soon he determined which of the
proposed routes will be the least cost
ly, and in all probability be the final
selection.
