charming gown worn by an extremely
blond young woman The skirt was
box plated and shirred alternately all
around, and hung quite full from the
waist The girdIe and shoulder straps
were of velvet, the latter of velvet rib
bon tied in little bows, where they
joined the waist. The guimpe was of
deep cream batiste embroidered with
dots and eyelet embroidery.
There never was a time when the
guinpe played such an important part
in the fashions, although in old fash
ion plates of the ffties one sees in
Vulnerable examples practically identi-
cal with the present styles. At that
time bodices were made with heart
shaped and square necks, with
guirnpes or fuckers of the finest lawns

gown of heavy pink linen was en-
broidered in wide bands which ran
down the sides of the skirt on either

back, was cut square in the neck,
both back and front, and had wide
border of the eyelet embroidery. A
band of the embroidery ran down the
shoulder seams and extended the
length of the sleeves. The entire
front Of the waist was covered with
medaIlfons of embroidery. The guimpe
was of the thinnest muslin tucked
crosswise, and the collar was simply
a continuation without any joining
seam.
There are some excellent piques on
the market this spring, much lighter
in weight than this fabric has ever
been before. These are in great de-
mand both in the plain and figured
varieties. Pique is as good a material

The fashion of matching every part
of ones costume is being carried to the
extreme limit this season. The hat
must match more exactly than ever,
and many women buy white straw braid
and have it dyed to the desired tone.
Mflliners will have the straw dyed for
their customers if desired Grin and
horsehair braids are easy to color, but
some of the straws are very difficult,
hence expensive.
Linen sailor hats will be popular to
wear with linen gowns, and when the
gowns are embroidered it is the thing
to have a. matching embroidery on the
hat. Several shops make a speciality
of these exacting little requirements,
and their charges are so moderate that,
unless one is an expert embroiderer, it
is better not to attempt them at home.
It IS one thing to embroider a dolly or
even a shirtwaist front, and another to
decorate hat or a parasol. The anna
flourish touch is usually very apparent.
All Sorts and one might say all con-
ditiOns, OF flowers are fashionable for
millinery purposes. Milliners have
never taken great pains to keep the
colors of their flowers within the linn
itations prescribed by nature. but the
variations they are indulging in at
present are rather startling. Are
green and mauVe roses really beauti-
bad, simply because they suggest any
kind of small wild blossoms, but the
rose is always the rose and should be
kept as nearly natural as possible.
The breteIle gown seems to be gain
ing favor marvellousIy. Tt is a very
youthful fashion, and should never,
never be attempted by a stout woman.
The stage peasant appearance is not
adapted to modern conditions. The
bretelle gown is a boon to mothers of
growing girls, especially if there are
the daughters. If there is material
enough for the skirt and the merest
scraps left over a pretty gown is al
| together possible. The bretelles may
be made of fancy trimmings, match
ing the material in color and general
! design, and the material itself appears
in the shoulder pieces. They alone are
enough to connect waist and skirt. A
| charming dress for a young girl was
made of silver gray fancy silk with a
gray and black. The skirt was made
with wide side plaits stitched over the
| hips There was trimming around
the foot of the skirt of fancy black
bretelles were of the braid with a
1 small double ruching of the silk On
] either edge. For the shoulder caps
/ the silk ruffie became much wider
and was shirred on the lower edge. A
wide crush girdle of the silk was
/ crocheted buttons.
Similar to the bretelIe gown is the
! peasant waist and skirt The skirt is
made simply and is always wide and
! full. The waist is a low-necked round
bodice, with straps over the shoulders
This is a very pretty model for a
| young girl. Purple and white fOulard

NARROWNESS OF OUR LIVES.
The reason our lives are narrow and
trivial is because we spend so much
thought on things that are petty and
transient and so little on things that
are great and eternaI-Rev. DR.. J. T.
NJ. Johnston, Baptist, st. Louis.
A GREAT TRUTH
Some men would need to have a
mountain fall upon them to make
them realize one of the greatest truths
Christ ever taught-viz, that "a mans

things which he possesseth. REV. W.

NEED OF INDIVIDUAL REFORM.
The world is suffering in every direc-
ton because only few people have
any time to help on great causes. The
world will be just what it ought to be
when individual men and women are
all that they ought to be, and not be-
fore.-Rev. DR.. Minot J. Savage. Uni

A PRESENT BLESSING.
Salvation is not a future but a pres
ent blessing. To be saved is not to be
certain of getting into heaven by and
by but it is to enjoy here and now a
health and Wilderness of all ones pow
ers and parts of body and soul-a con-
dition that makes heaven in the heart.
Rev. Carl F. Henry. UniYersalist,
Cleveland, Q.
Immortality is not necessarily
blessing. Men rather hastily assume
that it must be a good thing to live for
ever. It depends very much on what
we have to put into an endless life. The
mere fact of death cannot change our
inmost nature very much. How long
would q man go on enjoying what he
lives for here2 How many centuries
would he care to make money? How
many nillenniums would it be interest
ing to be a fashionable woman Prev.

The way in which Peter and Andrew
