The Jordans are Canadians and come
down to San Francisco only when the
winter reaches the northern country.
Their summer home, deep in miles of
1mpenetrable forest, is on one of the
most beautiful estates imaginable and
so complete in itself. with stables gar
ages, dairy, orchards, vineyards trout
streams and game preserves, that they
need depend upon the outside world for
only. magazines. letters and perhaps an
occasional frock.
The dance for the younger set last
night will be a standard for the debu-
tantes to be. Many of the girls who
went will make their formal bows to
society next winter, a few already have
done SO. and perhaps a score still have

ladyhood.

Home Influence.

The home influence is either a
blessing or curse, either for good
or evil. 1t cannot b neutral. In
either case it is mighty, commenc-
ing with our birth; going with US
through life, clinging to US in
death, and reaching into the g.
ternal world. The specific infiu-
ences of husband and wife, of
parent and child. of brother and
sister, of teacher and pupil united
and tremendously blended, consti-
tute the home influence. Like the
calm deep stream, it moves on in
silent but overwhelming power. 1t
strikes its roots deep into the hu-
man heart, and spreads its branch
es wide over our whole being
Like the lily that braves the TEN
pest and 1.-THE Alpine flower tina
leans its cheek n the bosom of e.
ternal snow" it is exc ted amid
the widest storms of life and
breathes a softening spell in our
bosom even when the heartless
world is freez ng up the fountains
Of sympathy and love. 1t holds the
empire Of the heart and rules the
life. Our habits too, are formed
under the moulding power of home.
The tender twig" is here bent,
the spirit shaped. principles i'm
planted, and the whole character is
formed until it becomes a habit.
The gray haired father who walks
in his second infancy, feels the
traces of his childhood home in his
spirit, desires and habits. The most
illustrious statesman and eloquent
ministers owe their greatness to the
fostering influences Of home. Ma
poleon knew and felt this when he
said, What France wants is good
mothers, and you may be sure then
that France will have good sons. :"

THE POPULAR HIGH COLLAR.
Hard to Make, But Here Are Some
Suggestions That Help.

All the new lingerie waists and
dresses for house and street wear are
made with high collars which are
pointed upward until they almost
touch the ear. Unless one knows just
how, these collars are hard to make
so that they will Ne high enough
under the ear, and still not uncomfort-
able In back and front.
Some of them are made three inches
high under the ears. and they are
neat and fresh looking. In the first
place, before cutting out the collar
you must take some measurements.
First measure around the neck to get
the size of the collar, then measure
from just behind one ear around the
front of the neck to just behind the
other.
Now determine the depth you wish
your collar to be in front, in. back,
and under the ears, and then mark it
off on the material The lower edge
of the collar must be straight to make
1t fit well. Mark on the goods the
size OF the collar, and with a pencil
make a dot for the height in front,
back, and behind the ears Cut the
collar out, sloping the upper edge to
follow the dots. and cutting the lower
edge straight. Buy some collar sup
ports and after the collar has been
finished and sewed to the waist, sew
one in under each ear and one in the
back. If you wish to tuck the collar
or let insertion into it, you must do
this before it is cut out

Purity In M0manhood.

A German philosopher has poet
icalIy and truthfully SAIL, "The two
most beautiful things in the uni
verse are the starry heavens over
our heads and the sentiment of du-
ty in the human soul. Few objects
IRE richer for the contemplation of
the truly high=minded man than
q young woman who lives, acts,
speaks and exerts her powers for
an enlightening conviction of duty,
in whose soul the voice of duty is
the voice of God. In such women
there is mighty force of moral
power. Though they may be as
gentle as a lamb, or retiring and
modest in their demeanor, there
is in them what commands respect,
what forces esteem, They are the
strong women. The sun is not truer
in its course than thew are to theirs.
They are reliable as the everlasting
rocks. Every day finds them in
Tic odIIIC UCdutl1ul, OOCdUJ anu
moral firmness. Men look to them
with confidence that knows no
doubt. They are fearless and brave,
they have but to know their duty.
to be ready to engage in it, and
though men laugh and sheer at
them, though the world frown and
threaten they will keep at it. No
character is complete until it is
swayed and elevated by genuine
p;ety. No heart is fully happy till
it is imbued with the spirit of pie
ty. No life is all it may and should
be until it is baptized in the waters
of piety. This divine grace of the
soul should be sought by every
young woman and cultivated with
the most ssssiouous care, for with
out it she is destitute of the highest
beauty and divines charm and
power of womanhood.
