At The Eighty-Fourth Verse.

Al amusing story Is III IF \
Scottish minister who arrived at the
kirk without the manuscript Of his ser
mon. He could not preach without it,
but it lay in his manse n mile, away
when the time had come for him to
mount into the pulpit. Here was a
poser only to be solved by giving out
the 10th Psalm. While the congrc-
cation were singing it off to his manse
for the sermon galloped the minister
and with equal celebrity gallopcd
back. When he returned, the congrc-
cation were still at it, and he asked
the clerk with some trcpidation how

was the answer, "they've got to the

GENESIS OF EMPIRE DRESS.
Costumes Worn by oscphine-Match-
ing Toilettes a Dream of
Beauty

Now that the "F.mpirc drcss' has
gained such an extraordinary popu-
larity with English women, we must
in order to understand this popu-
larity-crOss the Channel and picture
to ourselves, says the London Tribune,
not the present day Paris, but the
Paris Of long ago, the paris of the
First Empire.
JoSehpine de BeauharnaiS, as en-
press. introduced into the court Of
her time such distinguished elegance
or dress. such charm Of manner, such
perfection Of tastc--accompanied
with perhaps too fatal cxtrava-
"ancc-that the whole court was rcvi-
vitica under her influence.
When we think Of the care that the
French women al that period daily
bestowed on their toilette, the posi-
lion Of supremacy which they now
hold in matters of dress need not be
surprising to Us. To be dressed as
he French women were drcssed-in
the costume Of the First Empire, this
daily care is absolutely necessary.
TO be practical in the wearing Of
this modified Empire robe we must
have perfectly fitting undcrbodice
or combination robe, and this bodice
must be boned for at least seven inch
es below the waist and for four inches
above the waist. This will insure a
better foundation, which will greatly
help, and without which. especially
on stout figure, the dress cannot
hang as it should, but will flop un-
gracefully.
TO describe some of Josephine's
Empire costumes were to describe 4
dream Of beauty, every accessory be-
ing perfect. She was often robcd in
white; the texture was of Indian mus
I'm tissue. s" eXquiStcly fine that she
mad the appearance not Of an earthly
being, but Of a phantom of air. The
expense of this glorious tissue can be
but family imagined. Around the
bottom Of her skirt were eLgings Of
gold broidcred Of pearls, and the bod
ice was draped in folds which left the
arms naked, and ends of the material
were caught up on the shoulders, be-
ing fastened together by canoes,
buckles Of diamonds or golden lions
heads which formed clasps.
TO a person Of little later period
than the First Empire The magnifi-
ence of Joscphine's diamonds was al
most unbelievable, but to a present
, day society woman they do not create
! much surprise.

Model School Grounds.

The school and it's grounds should
be beautiful. models in every way,
that the children and their parents
may wish their homes beautiful and
sanitary, says the Los Angeles Times.
The vines that cling to the brick walls
of the school, replacing it's staring red
with waving masses of foliage, or
those that adOrn the porch are types
of what may be done to transform
the humble home of the mechanic or
the pretentious but unlovely mansion
Of a wealthy parent to a more beauti-
full exterior. Beauty has a market
value that is rising rapidly. A home
with a we'll kept garden, neat lawn
and thrifty shade or fruit trees is as
sessed for far more, will sell for more,
than any adjoining weedy, unkempt
lot. even though the latter bears
large or costly home. The city with
beautiful homes attracts population,
business and prosperity. The citizen
with a home that he is making more
beautiful has therein q testimonial to
his worth to any employer as we'll as
to his family and his fellow citizens.
The school garden that sends children
home to ask their parents to start
home gardens, even if these must be
only in boxes, is doing its community
good service

He GOT ONE LAUGH.

wrote a verse once on time,
The cutest thing, methought, in rhyme
That l had ever dickered at
A verse compact of fun and wit,
A CaIverley might hap have writ,
A Carroll would have Snickered at
I read it through with pleased outlaws
And gave myself the due applause
To brain that had indited it.
All day / said it Ger and Ger,
And | would laugh and shout and roar
And scream as L recited it,
So I, to give my friends a treat.
Invited all of them to meet
And howl at me perusing 1t.
I said, my friends. I've scrubbed here
The loudest laugh in many year
And would not have you losing it,
Then 1. with nothing more ado,
Began to read that ditty through,
My eager eyes a-glittering.
But-could you dream it?-no glad cheers
No peals of laughter, smote my ears.
No irrepressible tittering!
My face went white; my soul was tossed
Twas mighty plain I'd got a frost,
AS sure as Sunday morning,
For not one soul but me seemed glad.
And some looked blue, and some looked
mad,
And not few were yawning.
I ended. and they said, Its bumw
1 stood there feeling mighty glum
And cussed my gay experiment,
And then it CHANGED my right eye bent
Upon my lines, and off l went
Into a fit of merriment.
