Old Church In Alaska.

l Tn Sitka, Alaska, is one of the most ancient and historic churches in the dominion of the United States. It was built many years ago when Rus sia ruled there. and the site of . Grecian spire oyershadowing the sim pie shrine in the wilderness was dear to homesick Russian hearts. Solid silver candlesticks. six feet high, guard the altar and massive chande- Her of rich silver hangs from the dome. On the walls hang paintings from masters of the old world. the altar vestments are encrusted with priceless jewels. and the robes of the priests. displayed to interested tour ists. are richly embroidered in precious stones. The church has no pews. the worshippers standing in groups about the church while the twU hours service is in progress.

| speckled, struggling procession, him. self at the head, bearing himself with not quite his usual dignity, and won- derful to say, quite in the rear, with a lame leg to which long string was attached, hobbled the lost gobbler, sleek and shining and important, in spite of his misfortune.
 Mrs. McGrath nearly fell from her chair. E
 The leading gobbler, without mo- ments hesitation, turned in at the O'Shanes' gateway, but the lame one in the rear, after queer but joyous gobble or two, and peculiar ducking of his scarlet head, made straight for the coop in the McGraths' back yard.
 "oh, me by, me by, what hurted ye that crool?" exclaimed Mrs. Nc Grath. taking him in her arms as she might have taken a baby. What spalpeen shtoled ye, shurre?"
 The crowd shouted and hurrahed lustily, but the boys were evidently disappointed at the tame ending of the affair, and went away grumbling that there was mo fightin' and no nothin'"
 'I told you that they had their hab- its on 'em awful" said Mrs. Slatterly, who had repaired to the coop with her friend to held in the entertainment of | the returned wanderer. You see he knew where to come, list, n hum been gone wake n more"
 Just then Ellen O'Shane slipped in at the door bearing a plate of some. i thing hot and savory..
 l ''I thought the lad might relish bit of hot Johnnycake; I made 1t with sour crane. an there's nothin' me own lad is so fond of. shurre. espe. cially when he don't feel jist roight. I'm terrible glad you got hum back. Biddy, dear"
 1 Biddy choked down a sob.

I wonder where Henery do be. I want him till help me pit an exthry fasthen- in on the dooer. shurre. If he was shtoled onet, he might be shtoled ag'in. the poor crachure"
 'Henery's gone a-walkin' with Rosy by the river. glory be. n I'll help ye. meself. Meself is as good as any man wid a fasthenin'," said Mrs. | O'Shane
 So the night settled down peaceful ly and happily in the lane by the river.

ON THE SUMMER GOWNS.
New Touches That Add Much to the
 Appearance.

It seems a strange thing to say, bue best understand the Viennese art of using effective heavy tailor trimmings, for they employ such upon the most delicate materials, and 1t is mys- tery to know how they do it--or it seems. in effect. a mystery to the aver. age mind
 Very thin white batiste frocks, ap- pliqued with bands of colored linen. upon which are set medallions Of heavy lace. lend variety to an unusual1 ly handsome display of white dresses. The heavier folds are not always in color, however; frequently they are white. like the dress. and decorated with colored embroideries.
 A number of delightful summer toilettes have the skirts finished with folds of liberty satin, which takes to all of the fashionable color effects most agreeably, and from an eco- homie standpoint can be used to bet- ter advantage than ribbon velvet, since ydTu Ol sdlln VIII loIm many strips. while the same amount of rib- bon covers only its measured length. :.
 On sheer fabrics the use of folds or appliqued tucks upon skirts continues most marked. The principal differ ence in this respect is that this season. the folds are not of the material dou> bled. The single fold. like ruffie. has a narrow hem at the bottom, usu- ally finished with lace edging. It is attached to the skirt only at the top of the fold. so that the fold. like a flounce or rufie. hangs loose. but. of course. without fullness. Heretofore the folds have been stitched down at both edges or made double. like tucks; the new method adds lightness to the effect.

at the flock, and as Mrs. McGrath ex- pressed it, the gobble was that dis thraeled and pit out iv his moind wid the fright, that he turned in at the nearest path, the crachure, ,l'and the nearest path was forninst the O'Shanes back door, bad cess to it."
 A gloom settled upon the little neighborhood and fierce war ragged between the two danes. The hus- bands, peace-loving, non-partisan cronies as they were, were forbidden to speak to each other. Mrs. O'Shane imminent son-in-law was shooed from her door, when at twilight his heart and feet led him as usual toward the object of his affections, the blue-eyed Rosy.
 Conan alive. why don't yez be afther settlin' this unforchinite affair wid the gobble someway," spoke MT. McGrath, and not be thryin' to sage the gobble that do be at the O'Shanes' all the time. Mike says he haven't his supper last night till most bed toime, because his wife have to sthand guard over the crachure. I'll not sthand this quar'lin' an fghtin' Ony longer. The t'ing's got to be sit tied in some way. The jedge is your old masther and Mike n mesilf both wurruked fur him in toimes past, n a good man he do be, wise as a abbey owl, and just as the saints thim- silves."

 That night when Mir. McGrath re- turned from work he announced that the judge would he "'greeable ef the two ladies would bring theirselves and their witnesses along wid 'em to his barn at nine o'clock in the morning.
 Biddy stormed awhile. but was ready at the time appointed. Wit nesses who would swear that the re. maining gobbler belonged to her were hard to find. but she seized upon the 'felly that peddled horse-radish. who was pretty sure. by the expression of the villains cOuntenance. that he was the one that had such marked ubiec- tiOns to his red sweater that he flew onto his back one morning. clawing and swearing at the top of his voice.

To Remove Lines,

The takers wrinkles commence in and near the lower cheek and run down under the chin from side to side. The straight upand-down lines furrowed in the brow denote sternness and sharpness. Diagonal lines, criss- crossed in the middle of the brow, mean small frets and worries. The remedy for wrinkles is found in cheerful disposition, a watchfulness over ones own face that it doesn't crinkle into plaitings and in gentle massage with good skin food It is the manipulation of the skin as much as the cosmetic itself that banishes the lines. Expert facial specialists who massage the face and use cleo tricity do much toward plotting out lines. The whole process is rejuve- hating and stimulating. Outdoor ex- ercise, restful. refreshing sleep and nutritious food are essential in the treatment of wrinkles.

Mrs. O'Shane and Mrs. McGrath lived much fornenst eacS other, as they were wont to express 1t. in Jane which led to the rive< from the main street of Beaverton, and were usually on the friendliest and most Ineighborly terms. They possessed .the same tastes and aspirations, and Husbands who had been to school to- .gether in the 'ould country" and were still warm friends, never falling out, and taking the greatest enjoy ment in each others society. They were thrifty people. and each owned . cozy little house and barn, a garden patch and "bit" pasture. where a tidy COW fed in the summer
 Moreover, the McGraths' Henry. freckle-faced youth who filled the i'm portant position of grocer's clerk in the village, was sparkling the .O'Shanes' Rosy, a slip of a girl with the bluest eyes in the country. So. Atake 1t altogether, the relations be- fween the two families were uncOm- imonly delightful, until Mrs. O'Shane, possessed by the spirit of the new" lost all interest in her hens and ducks, and sought turkeys as a solace of the mind and filler of the purse.
 Any hin could bring of a clutch of turkeys, shurre. n aisy enough, too. n niver know they didn't be iv her own koind." she remarked to Mrs. lMcGrath. fin awhose own breast she had aroused the same desires. At the end of the next year both danes were the proud pOssessors of two especial ly fine gobblers; each gobbler had two prim, mottled wives. and each wife trailce with her about the fields melancholy halfgrown flock. whose plsintive peeping filled the early autumn dusk with sadness and woke the fresh. rosy mornings to the same tune.
 The two cocks were as much alike ss two peas. l. was difficult to tell them apart until Mrs. o'Shane discov- cred one day that her own lad" as she called him. had a bit ev h0ller in his back and the feathers on the crachure's back were less tick than those of me lad over yonther"

Brown the Most Popular Color for
 This Season.

Brown bags and purses are the fad of the season. and in alligator. pig. skin. cowhide and various other leath- CTS tanned or colored in this fashion able shade are now being carried.
 Some of the purses are long. others are short. and are severely plain or aTtisticaIly ornate. There is almost endless number of designs to choose from this year
 For business the plain bag of med Ium size in brown leather with strap handles is considered the most serv- ieeabIe and practical model. while the smaller bag of dull suede or glossed kid. effectively mounted with silver. gold or artistically studded with tiny nan heads. is carried for dressY street wear

was most satisfactory. There is on!! one thing that can be done," he said "Let the gobbler decide 1t for himself. Go immediately home and let him go to the fields with the young flock When he comes back at night he will surely seek his own fold"

 They do be on their habits drid- full" remarked Mrs. Slatterly. You couldn't bate thim wid a shtick till they'd dhrop um. Mebbe he would go home till you, Biddy."
 Mrs. McGrath began to sob, and re- garded the gobbler plaintively as she started on her way home behind the cart which conveyed him.
 The gobbler was released from the coop immediately on his return home, according to the judges directions, and recovering his spirits with sur prising suddenness. headed the turkey family in dignified procession toward the fields. Mrs. McGrath, still sob ping, refused to be spectator of the scene, but retired at once to the kitchen, where she solaced herself with unlimited and very black cups of tea in the sympathetic company of Mrs. Slatterly, who expressed an opin- ion that there was nothing like tay for a aggravation."
 When the early twilight was begin ming to fall. and the flock might be expected home at any moment. the lane was well filled with the friends of both families, and the fence quite

Pic,uresuue Effects.

Oriental touches in many of the handsomest boudoir gowns give them picturesque effects. One of the most stunning of these Is in ivroy white crepe embroidered with showers of delieately tinted pink apple blossoms. The bolero bodice is better described as a deep yoke and is heavily embroid- cred to correspond with the decoration of the body of the gown. A pleasing but simple arrangement of a long crepe scarf draped over the bust and allowed to fall in graceful cascades to the knees gives a pretty touch thzt eharacteTizes the whole garment.

frequently women buy these coats and have simple skirts or bodice and skirt made up to wear with them. One of this type is shown in our cut today. It is of tunic color pongee and cut with a most attractive development of the kimono sleeve idea, but the unique feature of the garment Is it's trimming, which consists of intricate braiding such as that so popular in fine soutache. but done in ordinary twine of medium size. Ornaments and brandenbourgs down the fronts were cleverly made of twine and the fasten- CTS passed around buttons of empire green silk. A touch of this green silk appeared also as a neck finish and on the sleeves.

flowers. scroll or geometric designs, are being used extensively on purses and make most attractive ornamenta- tion for alligator or pigskin bags that are otherwise plain.
 The oblong purse, with no trimming except a button like clasp at one end, is considered fashionable in alli- gator, suede or any of the favorite skins. Such a model is particularly useful for shopping, because it has strong chain handle that may be in black, imitation silver, gold or tinted in any shade to match the costume. or to correspond in tone with the leather bag.

FOR THE HAIR.

The hair needs a sun bath two or three times a week.
 Brush the hair fiuify from the scalp to the length of the tresses. Lift it up in your hands and shake it so as to separate 1t as much as possible.
 Then stand where the sunshine drifts over the head. Brush the hair and lift it up with the hands. letting Ii drop slowly. Stand in the sunshine from three to five minutes--not until your head aches.
 The sun bath inyigorates the hair and tones up the scalp.
