The Hand Of a Mother.
The hand Of a mother-remember 1t

An infinite tenderness, don't you, my
lad?
So soft for caressins, and wasn't It
To have it around you in moments Of
fear,
To feel its sweet healing again and

Pass over your temples when fevered
with pain?
So cooling. so gentle, SO loving-ah
How good the dear hand of q mother
could be!
The hand Of a mother-one could not
forget
It's grace that is lingering over US yet;
Its velvet, frail fingers. its delicate
pose,
Its texture as soft as the feel of rose,
Its wonderful soothing when laid on
the brow
We lived for it then, and we dream Of
| it now.
AS out Of the shadows and shapes Of

Its beautiful ministry reaches at last!

So often seen folded as If 1t would

So pallid when folded at last on her
breast
So pure and so reverent one knclt in
the room
With that imminent effluence of tube
rose in bloom.
And kissed the wan fingers and kissed
the white lips.
So peaceful in slumber Of dreamless

The hand Of a mother-'tis true. as
you say,

And love at her sweetness and trust
in her love

So soft through the shadows, so cool

Its flap flung aside revealed within a
pile of disarranged blankets, together
with some scattered articles of wear
ing apparel, while Just before the
opening, his back pressed against the
supporting pole. an inverted pipe be-
tween his yellow, irregular teeth, sat
a hideous looking man. He was a
withered, dried-up fellow, whose age
was not to be guessed, having skin
as yellow as parchment, drawn in
tight to the bones like that Of
mummy, his eyes deep sunken like
wells, and his head totally devoid of
hair, although about, his lean throat
there was copious fringe Of iron-gray
beard, untrimmed and scraggy. Down
the entire side of one cheek ran a
livid scar, while his nose was turned
awry.

unwinking, his facial expression de-
void of interest, but his fingers open.

marked, pleasantly. "but bad place

The sunken eyes expressed nothing,
but the throat gurgled again painfully
and finally the parted lips dropped a
detached word or two. Blame
pretty girl-that."
The lieutenant wondered how much
of their conversation this old mummy
had overheard, but he hesitated to
question him. One inquiry. however
sprang to his surprised lips. do you
know herr"
Damn ight-hetter-than any one
around here-know her-real name"
Brant stared incredulously. do you
mean to insinuate that that young
woman is living in this community I'M

scarcely more than child! What do
you mean, man."
The soldiers hat still rested on the
grass where 1t had fallen, its military

the fellow muttered. "Whats-your

The young officers face exhibited
his disgust. Beyond doubt that Sc
questered nook was favorite loung-

table creature had been watching her
for some sinister purpose.

have you?" said Brant. gravely. "And
now you want to try turn at defam-

to poor market for the sale of such
goods. am half inclined to throw

you are nothing but a common liar,

The eyes Of the mummy had become
spiteful. "It's-ncne of-your damn
business. I'm-not under-your Or

Under my orders! OF course not;
but what do you mean by that? Who

The fellow stood up. slightly hump

arms long, his legs short and some

shaped black scar, as II burned there

Princess GocnS of Lingerie

Princess models have an unquestion-
able place among lingerie modes and
some OF the daintiest are those fash
toned of the deep embroideries bought
by the yard. In a specially effective
model the skirt is formed Of two deep
flOunces of embroidery. with a wheat
pattern embroidered IN bold design. The
required length is supplied by "A plain

Of the frock is formed Of the same en-

cause OF dainty yoke and vest formed

sertion. Wherever possible oval-shaped
nedallions of Valenciennes are inserted
into the embroidery, this being one OF
the clever ways adopted by couturieres
TO supply fullness without interrupting
the general lines OF a gown.
Effective Trimmings.
Tucks of taffetas are effective trim
mings for linen and batiste dresses. and
as they are put on usually with fine
headings. they may be classed with the
semi-detached embellishments that in
crease in vogue each season. II is A
simple matter to remove them when the
gown is sent to the cleaners Lingerie
skirts Of demi-princess and corseiet de
sign are frequently trimmed with alter
mating bands Of batiste or linen and
taffetas. and not an unusual effect is
the taffetas trimming in a pale tint of
contrasting color. With these skirts are
worn delicate plated guimpes, bodices
and chemisettes OF linOn or wash net
The case being regulated largely by the
design OF the bodice. TOilettes OF this
kind are correct for afternoon and semi
formal occasions. as they are very
dressy. There are appearing in the
shops many clever limitations OF the
Irish laces which we like so we'll but
find so prohibitive in price. The eXpen-
sive patterns that look best in cheaper
duplicates are those made by the nuns
OF the famous Convent OF the Poor
Ciares in Ireland. These include Car
TickmacrOss guipures and appliques and
Limerick lace Of the tambour and run
types. Not only do We get handsome
laces from the Irish converts, but eIe-
CANT cmbToideries as well. and * seems
against the laws OF proportion that
shopkeepers should demand such prices
for their wares while the needlewumen
who make them are paid so meagcrly.
