Mute Testimonies.

A little daughter of the tenements,
whose mother was done at last with
the work and worry that had killed
her, was left at fourteen years of age
with four younger ones to mother and
nurse. And, faithful to her trust, she
scrubbed and washed and cooked and

bent and the thin face grew white,

We have read of an artist who saw in
the streets of Rome a beggar so ut.
terly abject and forlorn that he hired
him to sit for his picture, as a typical
beggar. The next day he came to him,
quite transformed. He had hired the
clothes of a companion, in which to
have his portrait taken. The artist
did not recognize him; and on learning
that he was the beggar he had hired,
he said: mo! 1 hired a beggar, and
him just as he was, or not at ALL"

A "P,avhouse" Moved Fifty Miles,

One Of the longest distances that a
house has been moved is that which
occurred recently, when a cottage was
moved from Glen Cove to Bayport, a
distance Of fifty miles. The house was
a log cabin and was built as a play
house a number of years ago for a lit
tie girl in Glen Cove, known as Miss
Perkins. The lady after some years
married and became a Mrs. Post, and
had taken up her residence in Bayport.
She wanted the log cabin and engaged
a HORSEPOWER to transfer it to her Bay
port home, which place it reached with
but any incident of note.-South Side

SHRED bands Of taffeta, velvet or
satin ribbon and braid Of all kinds are
extremely popular, and, thanks to their
kindly aid, it is possible to renovate a
last years gown. If the skirt be mar
row, then the seams toward the front
can be opened, panels of velvet, silk or
of another material with lines of braid
may be inserted, and the required
width may thus be obtained quite
easily. Although the newest models
Of skirts are much fuller around the

attractive designs with comparatively
little fulness. the latter being given by

For the Young Folks.

Pretty blouse waists, simply made,
are among the latest models for the
school girls, many of them made of
plain material, worn with plaid skirts,
or vice versa. Straps on the shoulder
seams give a pretty effect. Russian
dresses are still holding their own in
popularity, being suited to many fab
RIGS, and especially wash materials.
The Iong-waisted effect given by the
belt being pushed down and held in
place by straps is very desirable. Many
combinations are seen.
