OF HIGH Grade.

Bishop Vincent was praising at
Chautauqua the Chautauquan archi-
lecture.
Beautiful buildings" he said, ARE
a perennial delight and the architects
who give us them should be more
highly honored ard rewarded than
they are.
Whenever I look at our superb
buildings here l think of what their
architect once said to me. He said
that bishop employed one of his
brothers in the designing and erection
of fine house. When the house was
completed the bishop was well pleas
ed with it. but when the architects
bill was presented to him he was not
SO well pleased.
"'My good brother architect ~
said. don't you know that your pricesl
arc too high. The yearly salaries of
many Of my curates don't equal the
amount Of this bill of yours.
Very likely not the architect re.
piled, but I am not a curate but
bishop among architects"

Blouses for Children.

Small girls wear the guimpe frock

ginghams. and in truth all such wash
fabrics as have been used from time
immemorial The blouse suit is also
worn by little girls. although the short
pleated skirt and blouse waist are
also fashionable, with the narrow
leather belt in light colors, white or
black patent leather.-Harper's Ba-
zar.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-03-10
Blouses of Linen.

All sorts and classes of shirt waists
and blouses are made of handkerchief
linen, even those very plain ones,
made high on the left side, and prim
yokes.
Yet, while handkerchief linen makes
aine out of ten shirt waists. that tenth
one is given an odd little style by the
very weight of its weave And hand
kerchtef linen does crush terribly un-
der coat. SO that, for every day,
those of heavier linen are better.

One dress is pale-blue broadcloth, with
trimming on skirt and bodice of light
blue and silver braid, put on in design.
The little vest in front of bodice is
white kid and the plated girdle chif-
lont taffeta, exactly matching the
cloth There is pretty buckle of
rhinestones where the revers meet ut
waist line and frill of fine white lace
finishes the elbow sleeves. Blue
gloves and cloth-of-silver hat with
blue plumes and aigrettes accompany
the costume

Learning Ones Faults.

A wise old man was in the habit of
saying that one of the chief purposes
of matrimony was that thus man
and a woman gain counselor whose
duty and privilege it is to inform and
admonish concerning personal fail
ings. Everybody should cherish some
confidential friend to whom one can
go and say, Tell me Of my faults
and then take the bitter dose manful-
IL. aud try to profit by it.-Exchange.

PARIS A WELL LIGHTED CITY.
Strange Contrast With Conditions In
Most American Cities.

Most American Cities.
Paris offers a strange contrast to
London (and to most American cities)
in the matter of street lighting. London
is woefuliy somber at night, except
at certain points where concert halls
and gin mills" are numerous, where
as Paris is brilliantly lighted every
where. Nothing so astonishes the
American visitor as the long lines of
brilliant gas lamps Qncandesant burn
ers, sll of which function perfectly
reaching down each and every street
TO sparkling perspectives of diamond
strings. Do you feel disposed to
shrug your shoulders and cry out that
1t is garish and unrestful? Please
don't. 1t is grand success and a Joy
forever. If you doubt it, come over
here and see for yourselves. l have
carefully observed the placement of
iampposts and find that in some places
there is one every twenty feet; in less
Favored localities, one every forty or
nfty feet, while the little streets have
them at intervals of about 200 feet
In the case of the poor little streets
the lighting is, at the worst, admirable
not to say magnificent. What does
all this cost? 1t costs too much, from
our enlightened Cor unlighted) point
OF view. We are content to grope
about in the dark streets. The Par.
isian abhors darkness (as he should)
and is willing to pay for light, even
though he may pay pretty dearly for
1t.

green velvet with breadths cut under

Suspicious.

The following item appeared in the
Bacon Ridge Banner:
"One night last June the editor
heard someone prowling about in his
chicken coop. Not having any shot
handy he loaded the gun with quinn,
pills and blazed away. The intruder
was peppered, but managed to crawl
away. AS there is only one man in
the village who has not had the ague

Popular Skirt Models.

Circular, gored and plated skirts
1t seems almost absurd to again
enumerate these three models that for
so long time have been so popular.
There are changes in width of plaits,
in the number of cores, in the shape
OF the circular skirt and in the style
OF trimming, but the so to speak in.
tegral parts are just the same season

In Light Broadcloth.

Frocks and wraps of white or pale
lined broadcloth which are Sc much
in demand this season and so numer-
Gus among the ready to wear" mod
els, are excellent investments if of
fered at prices really low, for unless
they have some perishable trimming
they will stand innumerable cleanings
and keep their shape and modishness.

Regardless of the Audubon society
there are more wings and aigrettes
employed this season than in many
previous seasons put together. At one
time very small aigrette OF few
