Among other things the speaker told
| of a young native of Burmah who af-
| ter studying the Buddhist religion
| learned to be a good Christian. This
young man visited this country anG
washed dishes so that he might attend
the Moody school in Chicago. He Their
| returned to his native land and taught
Christianity among his fellow people
| She said that even some of the Budd-
hist priests had learned to believe ir
the true faith and had ordered the
Buddhist temples torn down so that
additions might be built to missionary
hospitals and churches. This act, she
said caused many of the natives to be
lieve in God and to become mission
aries.
She also told of native, whose
young wife had died. This native wa'
| heartbroken and visited a Buddhi5
| priest, who told him to live the life o.
a hermit. and to think and pray. The
| man was not satisfied with this. how
ever. and finally visited the mission
aries. learned of God and became
Christian.
| Miss Shinn said that the natives wer'
simple people who were fast learnini
| of the true God and European an'
| American customs.

THE LAWN MOWER.

Oh. the jangle and the dangle Of the
mower
1t is running in its glory now the
chilling spring is Ger,
And tho rams that push the cutter
while the wheles roll and sing,
Have been delving with the snow drifu
till they melted in the spring.
The tender grass It slashes down, II
levels up the lawn.
And the green blades CLEAN and glis-
ten in the sunshines of the morn,
If the lawns a place of beauty with ,
surface like a floor.
For which we all must thank the jangls
and the dansle of the mower.
How neat and trim the rose bush ana
the Towering ounces too,
The holy-hocks and dahlias are a.
CLEAN with morning dew,
And the fly of the valley may be
counted by the score,
And show in sleek comparison by the
dansle Of the mower.
But soon the scorching summer days
will parch the lawn now green.
And the frosts of golden autumn timt
will eadcn all its sheen
In the bleak days of November wher
the wild geese southwark soar,
How we'd welcome just the danglc and
the jangle of tho mower.

OUR WEEKLY
 FASHION LETTER Satin Is the Material Par Excellence for the We'd ding Gown = Princess Mode Popular
TULLE BEING USED
What to Use in the Calling Costume Going Away Gown of Blue Serge Is Fetching-What to Wear and the Proper Way to Trim It.

New York, Aug. 17.-There is al- ways to the feminine heart a joy in getting ready an outfit; but it is for the bride that the richest fabrics, faces and jewels are gathered together. The finest needle workers of the world toll to make her gowns and lingerie of the daintiest, and as September is one of the months that is especially set aside for weddings just as after
 the Easter time is, the designers and manufacturers and modistes ar just now busy finishing up some very beautiful outfits for some of our most fashionable brides, and from the knowledge gained from these many items of interest will be of value to other prospective brides.
 Satin is the material par excellence for the wedding gown, and the prin- cess mode in white satin with point lace is the combination chosen nine cases out of ten. At a smart we'd ding last week, where this description fits the brides robe, the bridesmaids frocks were of a model similar to that of the brides gown, although fuller, the pale blue chiffon of which they were made requiring more full ness than the heavy white satin robe of the bride. The guimpe and sleeves of the brides gown were of point lace. the sleeves being made of double f1ounces. Fine white lace was used in a similar manner for the bridesmaid dress guimpes. The stocks of all the gowns were very high. Tulle is being used for some brides gowns Where satin is being used the thin light weaves are being chosen. Glossy silk crepe weaves have sprung up abund-

Crossbarred dinity. dainty with lit ] tie colored flowers, is one of the fads of the season for trouSseau sets for girlish brides Among the lingerie a one piece garment that combines cor set cover, knee petticoat and drawers l is the one that is popular for wear
 with the wedding gown and, in fact,
 all dressy gowns, because the fit is s2 smooth for the princess modes now so fashionable This garment eliminates
 all bands and does away with all
 traces of bunchiness and wrinkles. The princess gown, of all others, calls
 for perfect fitting underwear.
 A pretty fancy is the embroidering
 of the white stockings to be worn with
 the initial monogram or full name in blue silk. This provides the pro- pitious something blue' that all
 brides should wear for luck. One of
 the latest developments for brides
 with pretty feet is the little shoes of
 silver brocade to go with the we'd
 ding gown.
 The modern bride does not provide
 such quantities of clothing as here tofore; and now the rich bride only provides at most dozen each of the
 different undergarments; but half of
 this quantity may do. A dozen pairs of tAo for season when, as now, hosiery and shoes must match the costume as
 we'll in color as in style. As for sfo7s the slenderest allowance must in- clude walking shoes for ordinary
 wear, shoes for the mild days. s|ip- pers, evening shoes, and those spe- cial ones to match certain costumes.
 The lingerie pieces in the troussean
 include chemises, drawers, petticoats,
 corset covers and night dresses. A
 "set" consists of one of each of these
 garments all to match. The combi-
 nation garment has become . neces- sity with the styles of gowns now
 worn They eliminate all fullness
 and some pretty models are to 3e found at the pattern counters or from any of the houses that design these patterns. Many of these things
 may be bought in the stores, but to
 all brides there is a fascination in do- ing a great deal of this fine sewing herself. Petticoat f1ounces with dain- ty lace are a necessity for afternoon gowns of fine silk and wool Or those lighter goods yet. For the morning g
 plain skirt with scalloped edges or finished with hemstitched ruffle is in better taste. Silk made embroidered
 hose is for the dress occasion, and thin but plain lisle thread for the street or morning wear.
 The shape of up to date underwear is designed to give the wearer a round bust, a tapering waist and an exact smoothness over the hips.

antly under various names and they too have been chosen. Chiffon cloth is a stand by for brides who consider economy and intend to give the we'd ding gown practical use later on. Ev- erything in this line is of princess ment. The only effect of empire is of- feet, although a skirt and bodice effect is often given by the girdle arrange ment The anly effect of empire is of ten in the lifting of the Sirdle in the back which extends the lines of the train above the waist line and gives pretty fullness at that point which is especially becoming to the girlish figure. The back of the wedding gown is of importance as it is more con- spicuous during the ceremony thaa the front the brides back being to- ward the guests most of the time un- til the reception begins.
 Great care should be taken to see that it is becoming. Empire effects are not apt to be becoming to short plump figures and the most prevalent mistake just now is to choose this style when it does not suit. A prin- cess shape in the right hands can be made becoming to almost anyone Long lovely folds are an essential to this part of the gown. There should be no fastening of any sort at the back of any wedding gown whatever the model.
 The guimpes of wedding gowns all have high necks and elbow sleeves. The yokes are of transparent lace over chiffon. Stocks are very high The great popularity of ruffled or flounced lace sleeves makes them to be often seen. By tradition, the we'd ding gown has an air of girlish sim plicity but, withal, a note of dignity beftting the occasion. When the gown is trimmed with lace, the
 French dressmaker invariably pre- scribes a plain tulle veil made very long and full. When there is an an cestral lace veil in the family which is to be worn she recommends tulle trimmings in ruches and frills for the gown. She has an undying prejudice for lace in both gown and veil.
 Do not mix the flowers in the we'd ding toilette That is, if orange blossoms decorate the gown wear them also in the hair, not another kind of flower. Sometimes roses or lilies of the valley and orange blos- sons are combined, but in that case both are used in the hair and gown also. For the bridal bouquet, flowers are often combined Lilies of the val ley and orchids on the opposte side of the bouquet were carried by re cent bride Another bunch was made up of bride roses and lilies of the valley. A girl with a Scottish name copied the Scotch brides by using Scotch heather.
