held for the benefit of the poor of the church
 A pretty fancy, where flowers bear a part in the exercises, is to have a shield made of thin wood, set with holes to form a great cross. with other holes for background. This is vine-draped, and into 1t child at a time may place a white blossom, reciting verse on faith: Later, otbers fill the cross with red flowers, with verses about the cross of Christ and His love for men. Or dozen little girls each holding a different flow poem as she held her bouquet aloft.
 Sometimes children send their flowers after the service to the hospitals or to the sick of the congregation. In one church they have the pretty custom of taking them to decorate the graves of dead scholars.
 As for the services themselve they addresses and recitations and, if the church choir takes part, bright, short anthems. If golden texts or chapters from the Bible are recited, have it done in concert and quickly.
 Sometimes the idea of patriotism is emphasized and flags form part of the decorations. Again. special missionary offering Is taken up to help other less fortunate children.
 This might be made an effective part of the service. Distribute mite boxes ton for Children's Day begins. and tell the children to save as many pennies as they can before that time.
 In the course of, the service have a number of tiny children. dressed to rep resent their little heathcn kinsmen of different lands, make a plea for help from their young Christian friends Then have two very little girls collect into the outstretched hands of those representing the mission fields.
 However one may vary the form of service, remember always to make 1t a day that will draw the children into the church as to place where they have a part to fill even in their youth.

Make Music special Feature.

Naturally, each church has 1t partic-' ular method of observance. In some the morning service is devoted to the pri- mary scholars and the evening to the older children. Again, there may be a special meeting for the afternoon; usu- ally, though, all the children of the cnurch assemble at the regular morning
 Children are much more impressed that Children's Day Is really their own if they bear prominent part in the ex- ercises Many interesting cantatas. or printed forms. may be bought for such an occasion; but, as rule. programmes are prepared by a committee or by the superintendent of the primary Sunday school.

In hymns; especially, there are now beauti- full ones composed for just such a day, so that the music can be made a special feature.

Choosing a Suitable
 TrOusseau

N ELECrING trousseau is always a weighty alter. but at no sea- N son is 1t so necessary to give 1t serious consideration Is by the June bride.
 Life for young woman who is to be married in the autumn is always more or less cut and dried; she usually lives in the conventional manner of the city or town in which fate places her. and her requirements as to clothes will be governed more or less by its social demands. r4.y
 In sur1mer 1t is quite otherwise: one may live in half dozen different ways, cordingly.
 For instance, if a girl is to spend her summer in a seashore or mountain re- sort, or in the suburbs of 6 big city, where there is apt to be much gayety, she will need variety of gowns for all occasions-dresses. linens and shirt waist suits for morning. a good-looking cloth coat and short skirt. simple silks for informal occasions. more elaborate costumes for afternoon wear. and at least two evening gowns. She should also have a big supply of lingerie waists-for laundresses are proverbially disappointing-and three or four thin white dresses made to touch.

A few dainty white gowns for even ing-even in the country one should not rough it all the time-a handsome suit for occasions where the bride absolute ly must pay calls, and possibly one fair ly pretentious house gown, with another for any stray dinner or dance that may turn up, are all that are necessary. Indeed. one "dressy" dress may be made to do double duty by means of two waists
 Shoes must be of the sensible kinds. High ones with low heels and thick soies should by all means be included; and even for evening wear one should be chary of stirring off the porch on to country roads in. high
 Three hats will be sufficient, and one of them should be broad enough to shade the face from the hot sun.
 The satisfaction of such a trousseau ia twofold In summer the bride is not bothered with the care of an ex- tensiye outft-she has just the clothes she most needs and no more; while in the fall that uncomfortable season when clothes, even bridal clothes. feel Seedv she can purchase new ones that will keep her well gowned all winter instead of wearing out her rousseau, as is the lot of many June brides.

THERE is no service of the year,
 more beautiful than that annual
 Sunday in June dedicated to the children; when the little ones of all over the land are gathered into our churches for exercises of their very own.
 Whence or how it came. this habit of observing Children's Day, we know not; suffice it to say there is scarcely of the greatest occasions of the church year.
 From early times certain ministers have devoted special days to the chil- schools became general the little peo- pie grew into still greater promi- nence on anniversary occasions, but it has only been in the last twenty come one of the regular features of church work. The Methodists were probably the first denomination to give such a day the sanction of their General Conference. In 1883 the Pres byterians appointed the second Sum day in June as festival day for the children. Since then it's observance has become almost universal.
 It is none too, soon to begin prep arations for this happy event, Teach make 1t a really golden day in the lives of the children--a day the mem ory of which will finger through life
 Everything should be bright and sum ligion upon plastic minds. This should be the main idea in arranging a pro- gramme. Music recitations and ad- dresses should not have a hint of gloom or depression, and there should be flow happy thought to have Children's Day in the Month of Roses" with It's wealth of bloom to add beauty to the service.

Leon Strauss, the woolbuyer, arriv-
ed last evening from San Francisco,
where he went to find his family i'm
mediately after the earthquake. To
his Joy he found his home practically
uninjured and his family safe and
sound. His residence is on Sutter
street and Is blocks from the edge
Of the burned district When seen
this morning at the Hotel Pendleton.
Mr. Strauss told many interesting
things concerning the scenes in and
around the ruined city.
"I reached Oakland on Saturday
night and at that time they were pro-
hihiting people from entering San
Francisco" said he. However, from
my family was safe. On Sunday

in 1t to the foot OF an outlying street
in Frisco. l then walked to my
home. There I found my family liv-
| ing In the yard and with them many
who had been made homeless. In
the residence portion which was not
burned, the lawns and streets were
filled with refugees. These and those
who still had homes, slept out of doors
through fear of the fire. 1t was the
fire and not the earthquake that
caused the terror.
"The condition of the ruined part
of town is something that is hard to
describe with words. On Market
street but few big steel buildings
are standing. and they are nothing but
blackened shells. Also the fine resi-.
dence portion is wiped out. 1t was
the width of Van Ness avenue that
largely blocked the fire. While the
flames got over that street in places
the fire was held in check by dynamit-
ing buildings"
According to Mr.. Strauss, the ruin
ed district contains about four squarJ
miles. In his belief the property los.
from the earthquake was not over

the fire. Had there been a system SC

According to Mr.. Strauss the peopl
of San Francisco have shown wonder

and they are now devoting all thei
energies to clearing the ruins and re
