Lingerie.

Nainsook, pOngenette, batiste, null
and fine cambric are the materials in
vogue for the construction of under
garments. The two requisites for ma
terials are that they must not add to
the weight of the garment or bulk to
the figure. With the marked tenden-
cy in outer garments towards the
more fitted forms, particularly about
the hips, it becomes essential that
undergarments should preserve the
natural outlines of the figure. There
is no fullness over the hips of well cut
drawers and petticoats, and trimming
on corset covers and chemises is flat.
French lingerie now is sold at moder-
ate prices and is gaining in favor. for
although not so betrimmed as the
American variety it generally is well
cut A small amount of hand EN-.
broldery is used and where ribbon Is
for drawing up garment it
is run through buttonholed Sits in
order to make the garment durable.

All Over Elaboration and showiness ls
Considered Out of Place on Gar
ments Cor the Little
Ones.

The making of children's frocks, and
especially those designed for summer
materials, present few difficulties to
the home dressmaker, as although
most of the costumes seen follow
rather closely the general lines of
those designed for grown-ups, the
trimmings are much more simple and
the fitting presents few difficulties.
It is not considered good taste nova
days to have anything ostentatious or
elaborate about children's frocks, and
although some of the finer models
show exquisite handwork and fine
laces in their decoration, there is
never any effect of showiness. Youth
full simplicity is aimed at by all the
best designers, nevertheless, very orig

Paris Following U. s. situation.

Paris, May 14-The wheat situation in the United States is being followed most attentiyely in Paris and every part of Europe. The upward move ments of prices, however, do not cause great surprise in commercial circles. Prominent grain merchants here ex- press the opinion that the present up- ward movement is partly justified by the crop reports, though it is considered to be a certain degree speculative and some reserve is regarded as being nec- essary in forming an opinion on this side, as the latest available reports in Europe are quite month old, when almost every country except France, which was favorable, then reported q shortage. German wheat suffered from the rigorous winter and Hungary, Rus sia and the Danube districts also en- dGred severel cold while the spring wheats have been retarded by the ab- onImal temperature All parts now complain of the excessive heat and even in France it is not certain whether the crops will turn out as well as anticipat- ed The critical period is now ap- preaching. In the event of the pros poets being unfavorable the French merchants would be obliged to import from the United States. The European requirements have been important this year, with low stocks, while the small supplies received from India leave the United States apparently master of the situation.
 The market here this afternoon was calmer on realizations.

German Market Disturbed.

Berlin, May 14.-The German grain market is disturbed over the sharp rise in prices in the United States. While it is admitted among grain mer- chants that the advance finds a natural explanation in the reported crop prospects, chiefly American and partly European, still the feeling here is that speculation has been overdone in America, hence the Berlin prices to- day not only refused to follow the ad- vances in the United States and Liver pool yesterday. but closed lower, July wheat closing 75 cents per ton. It was reported on the bourse that Russian agents sold heavily for nearby delivery.
 While the German grain crop some what improved recently, it is still far behind in consequence of the contin- ued drought,

WOMAN'S BOARD OF
 MISSIONS MEETS Thirty sixth Annual Meet ing at Center Church a
 Great Success. REPORTS ENCOURAGE Much Good Done in Foreign Fields--M Miss Bacon Not
 Present.
REPORTS ENCOURAGE

Women representing the Congrega- tional churches of Litchfield, Fairfield, Middlesex and New Haven counties filled Center church yesterday at the thirty-stxth annual meeting of the New Haven branch of the woman's board of missions. The morning session open ed at 10 o'clock, Miss Edith Woolsey presiding. Reports of the years work at home, given by Mrs. w H. Fair child and Miss l., E. Prudden, indicat- ed methods of work which had proved successful in individual societies, and showed that much faithful, patient ef- fort had been put forth. Interest in the united study of missions had in- creased, and societies which once took 1t up never abandoned it.
 Mrs. w. B. Danforth gave a sum mary of the foreign report, showing her auditors the great opportunities for progress on the field, and the noble way in which the missionaries are meeting these opportunities to the ex- tent of the resources at their command, Crippled by an insufficient supply of money and workers, struggling in some cases against the effects of famine, or earthquake, or cyclone, and in others against isolation and lack of all sup plies. they nevertheless have stood bv the work, and steady progress has been the general rule,
 The report of the treasurer, Miss Julia Twining. showed receipts for reg ular pledged work of over $l6,000, and total receipts of over 23,000 This equals the amount reported in 1906, which was the banner year.

Two notable addresses marked the morning session. The first of these, by Mrs. c. N. Fitch, entitled Treasures of the West" was the story of the speakers experiences in working for foreign missions among the home mis- sionary churches of, Colorado and South Dakota. She had found the treasuries filled from the poverty of the country, not from its riches. En- thusiasm for foreign missions and will lingness to make sacrifices for that cause she had found among the poor and struggling, the foreign born, the miners; and the only opposition had been among a few of the rich. If the women of the eastern churches would give as literally in proportion to their means as do those of the home mis- sionary churches, the treasuries of the boards would overflow.
 Mrs. c. H. Daniels, of South Fra mingham, Mass, the new president of the womans board of missions force- full and convincing speaker, addressed the audience on Ideals in Method and Spirit" The first of these ideals in missionary work she found to be de- votion to details, a willingness to spend time and energy on the apparently tri- fling things which, taken together go very far toward success. The second ideal is found in an educational policy. It is education as to actual conditions that enlists the intelligent interest of the young people to-day. As an indi- cation of the spread of the desire for information along missionary lines, it is stated that 6S,000 copies of the latest textbook in mission study have been sold A third ideal is the acceptance of the conditions found in local church. es, and a consideration of local pref erenees in the application of methods of missionary work and organization. Other ideals are a broad and adaptable spirit which can tolerate changes, an utter dependence upon the great Lead CT for whom all the work is done, and a consciousness of victory already as- sured, since we have all things to give to tae world
