Requires 8 skeins of Fleisher's Shetland Fless. A charming simplicity is the keynote of this easily-made scarf. The delicate and lofty thread of Eeisher's Shetland Floss brings out the simple beauty of the cross stitch and gives the garment daintiness and refinement that has gained it wide popularity. Heisher's Shetland Tess is dyed in many exquisite shades particularly appropriate for this class of work.

The Linuerie Hat,

The lingerie hat has ceased to be a
frilly affair. It is huge, bell-shaped,
and whether of cretonne or all en-
broidered batiste, or of Irish lace, or
of cambria embroidery, the stuff is
stretched smoothly over the frame. A
border of ribbon or of straw is used,
and the lining may also be of either
of these materials. Toile de jouy rib
bons may be had to ensash them, or
white cotton gauze printed with gay
bouquets and bordered with satin. One
cretonne hat has nothing but a quilt
ing of old rose ribbon to trim it, old
rose lining it, and a hat in embroi-
dered cambria is entirely inundated by
a shower of white aigrettes that al
most hide it's foundation.

A Sylvan Party.

A Sylvan Party.
Maid Marian requests your presence
Under the Greenwood Tree at three
o'clock on Saturday,. If it rains the
party will be in the house,
A dozen children were the recipi-
ents of the above invitations and not
one sent regrets. On the eventful
day it did not rain and the young
hostess aged seven, awaited her
guests in perfect fairy bower. Her
elder sister had been deeply interest
ed in fairy stories, and this really
unique affair was the result.
Lanterns and paper chains such as
children make in kindergarten were
interlaced from tree to tree, and there
were quantities of wild flowers ar
ranged in tubs and crooks. The en-
tire yard was transformed into a
perfect bower and the mystery that
pervaded every thing was delicious
to the children. After a number of
pretty games and dances done to
music (the piano had been moved
close to an open window for the &C.
casion) golden wand Gathers cane
wrapped in gilt paper) was handed
to each oh lid in turn.
On a fine old maple tree this pla-
card was found:
These branches are laden
With treasures for maidens;
Strike with your wand
The fairies'n respond.
A tree close by said:
High in this tree
Treasures you'll see
For good little boys
There are all sorts of toys.
Tied to the branches of these trees
there were favors wrapped and fast
ened with gay narrow ribbons. The
children pointed to the parcel they
wished for their own and the fairy
Ecd--lot:.er proceed to cut it down
with her magic scissors.
But the serving Of refreshments was
the best of all. An awning was pull
ed aside and there were two long ta-
bles with spoons, plates and big plat
tiers containing what proved to be a
reserve supply of stuffed eggs and
sandwiches. Then the good fairy point
ed to a sign on the tree, whose
branches overhung the supper table,
which said:
Under this tree great doings there'n be;
Look sharp for cookies and eggs you'll
see;
Candy and nuts and oranges, too,
Are up there waiting for you and for you.
And sure enough, hanging to the low
Dough were sandwiches, hard-boiled
eggs, animal cookies, doughnuts, stick
candy, bags of nuts and an orange for
each guest. Paper napkins fluttered
in reach of all and a small tree near
by had IL bright tin cups attached to
it with the following legend:
If thirsty you are
And come from afar,
Take cup from this tree
Walk first to the left,
And then to the right,
A we'll Of clear water
Will rise to your sight,
Sure enough, there was the water
cooler on fern-decked table, but, in
stead of water, it contained lemonade.
The children were wild with delight
and voted Maid Marian's" party the
very best ever.

Flat Japanese Umbrellas.

The fiat Japanese umbrellas are a
novelty this season; the size of the
hats makes them necessary, for it
is impossible to bring the ordinary
umbrella near the face. The plain:
green silk umbrella, which has been
the classic accompaniment to beach
frocks, is still used, but the purple
parasol is rather more chic. For the
afternoon there are the most exquisite
tulle and mousseline affairs, lace in
crusted, hand painted and sometimes
braided and with touch of black.

For an Umbrella Bazaar,

This is a scheme adaptable to an
outdoor fete or is equally good
for the booths at winter fair.
Take huge umbrellas and have a cir
cular counter built around them. The
effect is very pretty.
The Japanese table would have an
enormous parasol with tiny ones at
tached to each rib, or in place of the
little lanterns use Jap Dolls. Under
this the attendants would serve tea
and sell Japanese novelties of which
there are an endless variety.
An umbrella covered with white
cotton plentifully sprinkled with dia-
mond dust and hung with glass icicles
would be winter" for the sale of ice
cream or ices.

Mrs. Parke Austin was in her dress
Ing room getting ready for church
when this boisterous greeting fell
upon her ears.
"Mornin, ma'am," pulling at a
scrap Of a cap which set jauntily upon
q crop of black curly hair. "Have
sou got a bit of work you could give
Rye, ma'am, for a bit of breakfast?'
Surprise had kept the lady silent
Now she spoke quickly. Its Sun

for the day."
'Oh, yes, ma'am; but you see, the
day has no respect for me, ma am
A fellow gets hungry on Sunday just

Good Book says if man won't work
neither shall he eat"
There was such an irresistible air
Of drollery in this absurd wrestling
of Scripture, that Mrs. Austin laughed
in spite Of herself.
II can give you a breakfast" she
said, with rueful fear of being late
at church, "but 1 have no Sunday
work for you"
Then I'll come around tomorrow
and do Mondays work for Sunday
food"
She watched him as he ate, and
noted with some surprise that he
handled his napkin and the silver as
If he had always been accustomed tc
them, and thoughtful, preoccupied
expression came over his face, quite
replacing the saucy, merry look he
had worn at first.
I'll be on hand tomorrow, ma'am
bright and early" he said, as he left
the door, that thoughtful look still
ON his face, land give you honest
Monday work for Sunday food-the
best I've tasted in years, ma am" He
touched his old cap again, and was
gone, and Mrs. Austin returned to her
toilet with queer feeling that she
had entertained an angel, or some
thing peculiar, unawares.
The merry tramp was true to his
promise, and with a scythe Monday
morning was making war on some
tall grass and weeds which had per.
sisted in going to seed in Mrs Aus.

Burn 'em up, ma'am, and nip the

could be happy with me?"
I remembered how his presence al
ways rested and comforted me; how
safe and happy I felt when he was
with me-
"You wouldn't like to marry any
one else, would you?" he asked, be-
fore I could think of anything to say
NO. indeed, would not" I replied
And you wouldn't like to have me-

about Charlie, and he said some very
pleasant things to me, so was COM
torted.
When the sun rose few mornings
later our dear friend was no more.
They sent for me, in few days,
to go to the quiet, lonely house.
Sarah met me at the door, and cried
softly as she showed me into the dim
old parlor. Several gentlemen were
in the room, and one of them came
forward to welcome me. never

"Alice Wilder, the dear friend who
made life tolerable to the last" There
was request that would live in the
grand old house, and keep the faith

all settled there, the happiest little
family in the world, for the old house
was freshened and frightened in
many ways. One day Sarah came
to ME in the garden with a card in
her hand, and I was much surprised to
find that Mrs. Grey was waiting for
me. She came forward to meet me
smiling. "You will pardon the liberty
/ take, Miss Wilder, but Charlie has
written to me about you, and I feel
like an old friend, really"
i The call was very pleasant; Mar
garet brought us some tea, and the
children came in and we had a nice
little morning. Scarcely a week had
passed when Charlie himself came.
He kissed the children, and was SO
bright and merry that I was quite
glad to-see him; when the little ones
were gone, he turned to me, his hand.

in his grave kindly way he talked
