THE WORTH WHILE WAY.

By Henry F. Cope.
II have fought the good fight, have
finished the course, l have kept the
faith."-II Tim. ", Z.
1t is a splendid thing, at the end of
life, to be as certain Of having done the
right thing all along as you were con-
fident Of intention to do it at the be-
ginning. Seldom is LIES review as sat
isfactory as its prospect was inspiring.
Long before it's end we begin to see
ways in which we might have done bet
ter, and to useall there must often come
the grave question: What are the
things most worth striving for In life?
Am 1 seeking the prizes really worth
the gaining?
Every purposeful life gains some
prize; the puzzli1g question is as to
which are the most desirable-the per-
manently valuable. Popular opinion
points to riches and honors; but ex-
perience warns of the price to be paid
for them. 1t would be folly to pretend
that they go always to the most worthy.
You do not have to look far at any time
to find the microscopic man with the
magnificent fortune. Often the richest
man is the poorest kind Of a man. At
any rate it is certain that you cannot
pursue that prize with singleness of
purpose without the sacrifice of almost
every other desirable thing.
Then. cries conscience, choose char
acter; make that your end. But a man
stops to count the cost. While it is
not true that one cannot be rich both
in character and in cash, the instances
are sufficiently few to make them look
more like exceptions than rules. Piety
is not established by poverty, neither
does it insure against it They who
seek character regard adversely and
prosperity, ignominy and honors but as
incidents on the way, the goal alone is
to them essential. One world Of
thought brands as failure the life that

i are made in every color of the season and a particularly fashionable leather is pale mottled lizard skin.
 The separate coat of crepe de chine Is now by far more fashionable than the one of pongee. It is just the right weight material that is needed in such an indispensable wrap and it makes an ideal coat for summer. It is so much more useful than the lace wraps which are usually very much trimmed with braid, embroidery, heavy lacey and Italian cut work-very ornamental but very unserviceable. For travelling, the long wrap of crepe de chine is the most practicable because it does not catch or hold the dust nor does 1t rumble like linen. It is growing more and more popular now that it's excellencies are appreciated.
 One of the most attractive styles of the season is the chcked suit with a plain coat. We have had so many costumes of one color that change of this sort is gladly accepted. 1t is most becoming when worn by slender wo-. man who can easily stand the break in lines and designs. The other day l noticed a smart costume of brown and white checken linen. The skirt was plaited with bias strips inset to give the effect of alternating box pleats in straight and diagonal lines. Around the bottom of the skirt was a band of plain brown which was in- ished on each edge with soutache braid. The coat was the popular length and was outlined with the soutache, and, at the sides was applied in military fash ion. The same effect was given on the sleeves and at the back. The smartest effect was in the iapels which were of plain brown satin, cut pointed with the lower part extending down the coat front. Just inside were some large button moulds covered with the plain material. A vest of white braid- ed in soutache was very effective. If one decided to have a summer cos- tune similar to this model. 1t would be an excellent idea to have O. skirt of plain color trimmed with the checked material, for, in this way, two whole costumes can be had,
 The lace stocks that are being worn this summer are a great relief from the high, embroidered linen collars that were the height of fashion a year ago at this time. and are still more or less worn. The lace collar, however high. is not as thick and warm as the linen one and 1t is worn on almost any lingerie blouse. Some of them are finished with a band Of silk around the base of the collar, which is made into a smart little bow in front, while others have a pleated bow of the same lace or net as the stock. A rather dressy finish for stock is velvet, rib bon perhaps a half inch wide put at both edges of the collar. They fasten in the back and the top band is made into two tiny rows with the ends left hanging a few inches. finished with silk tassels of matching color

New York. July 1s@--(special)- Al though 1t is very iata-in the season for any interest to be taken in millinery. yet this year there are 50 many. many different styles and new shapes offered that women who thought their summer supply of hats complete have been and will even now be tempted to purchase one or two more of these bewftching hats. A very popular feature in the seasons hats is the frill of lace just under the brim which falls in apparent carelessness over the hair. However. there are just as many frills above the brims as below. Roses are the favor ttes of all flowers and are exquisite In the different shades of rose color. Soft ribbon, chiffon, net and lace are used chiefly in the trimming of midsummer hats. Ostrich plumes, however. and paradise plumes are always fashion able. the former inAwhite Or delicately tinted colors. The Charlotte Corday mer styles. and really nothing could be prettier than mass of light puffy hair showing under the dropping brirn and frill of lace. The majority of hats are of moderate size, but there are nu- merous exceptions to the rule There are no bandeaux. everything is set firmly on the head or as hatly as pos
  or bell-shaped hat Is receiving much favor again. The brims turn down, and unlike the mushroom shape of a year ago, they are of even proportions all around. Tn ey are often titled slightly at one side to give height to the wearer. A style very similar to this one has the brim rolling up on one side while the rest of the brim droops prettily. Some of the 1arga hats of flexible sfra " have tha hrirns drawn down at both sides. These quaint shapes are especially becoming to young faces.
 Lingerie gowns were never lovelier or more fashionable than they are this year. The elaborate ones are most at- tractiveIy made with a train on the skirt which is attached to the waist by wide girdlc. The ones built on princess lines are fitted perfectly smooth over the hips and are without a tuck or plait from throat to hem. The trimmings are very elaborate in lace. embroidery. medaIlions. gaIoons and insertions. Such gown is worn over a fitted princess slip of taffeta and is preferred in some delicate color rather than white. The one-tone coS- tune Is temporarily out of favor. T A late fad in hand bags Is seen in the shape of a diablo, which Is hung from the wrist by a narrow ring or bracelet or by a silk cord and tassel. Other novelties are of gold in imita- ton of the cover of a monkish mtssal and some are made to represent a dra- gon-1y or butterfly. On these. the insect is raised above the background of leather and the wings are set with ornaments of amethyst, jade or moon | stone. There are also dogs heads in l very natural coiorings.

There are five principal limbs trained against the church. the tree being protected by iron rallings in- closing an area of about 26 square feet The rude german soldiers in early ages tended the tree.

GREAT PARTY LEADERS.

 Material Than Democrats.

Material Than Democrats. Golfers Weekly
 Why is 1t that leaders in one great party are so much scarcer than in the other? The war gave to the Demoratic party a stunning setback. The solidity of the south has kept 1t back. and free silver completed the demoralization. Democrat, when the most that has been done for the so-called Democratic policies has been done by a Republi- can President. who likewise believes intariff reform? When the present Republican nominee indorses the poli- cles of his predecessor?
 Why is La Toilette called Repub- lican? Why do the 'progressives' of Kansas. Nebraska, and Wisconsin work doggedly with that party. Why does the tariff-assaulting Mccall carry that name? Apart from a perfunctory adherence to a tariff idea in which he is not interested, what have the dem ocratic principles of Gov. Hughes to do with the party In which he Is en- rolled?
 Men now in later or middle life belong to the Republican party either as a direct or indirect result of the slavery conflict. Young men of ability go Into 1t because the Democrats offer them no coherent program and a much weaker group of leaders.
 Probably 1t would be better for the country to have two parties led with equal strength. but the Democratic will hardly furnish many leaders equal in ability to Roosevelt. Taft Root. Hughes, and La Toilette, until the South Is badly broken, or until intelli- gent and educated. Northerners feel at home in the Democratic party.
 The president of Harvard University may be selected as an illustration He Is one of the ablest men aliNe-a dis tinguished leader of his country's thought He is a Democrat but when will he have an opportunity to vote the Democratic ticket in a national election?
