In EVENING WEAR
TEA GOWNS FORMED OF RICH
MATERIALS.
Fashion Now DEGREES That They Shall
Fit the Lines of the Figure-FulI
Dress Costumes Without
Sleeves.

Tea gowns and evening frocks are
coming to their own now. It's very
hard at times to distinguish between
the two, for the evening gown has
grown nearer and nearer to the soft
flowing lines of the semi.negligee,
while the tea gown has broken it's
sweeping draperies and fitted itself to
the lines of the figure. The difference,
however, is most likely to be found
in material, for the tea gown has taken
to itself the rich velvets, cashmeres
and soft veilings, while evening gowns
remain as airy as possible. Lines tend
more to the flowing style, with sur
plice front and angel sleeves. Very
young girls, however, are wearing the
dearest little puffs that barely cover
the top OF the arm, while many of the
newest full dress costumes are quite
guiltless OF sleeves. For these the
flower trimmings are popular A triie
less pronounced is the angel sleeve,
or win sleeve, as the French who orig
mated it name 1t.

SHOES FOR THE HOT WEATHER.
New Buttoned Oxford Will Be Among
the Most Popular.

With lingerie dresses for summer a
dew buttoned oxford will be worn.
1t is not on the Du Barry order, but
rather on the style of the strapped
slipper, for the boot is slit between the
buttons so that the stocking may show
through. With these, Dame Fashion
says, colored stockings must be worn
to match the gown or belt
Many street slippers will be fitted
with high French heels, but because
here are some sensible women who
will not consent to go any distance In
such monstrosities, summer shoes may
be obtained with Cuban or military
heels. 1t is predicted that opera slip
pers will be worn on all occasions, and
these will be made in black, white and
pink, or any other shade that might
by any chance be required.

months fortune favored him and he

shook daily when he thought of the
possibilities of the future.
And at last he was ordered into bat

outweighed his physical fear and he
feared ridicule more than he feared
danger he exposed himself to the fire
of the enemy. And he was unframed,
but his fellows said, he is a brave

New Brooch Pendants.

There are many new pendants
which may be used as brooches or
even hairpins. They are made with
a golden loop at the top that fits over
the chain. but the brooch pin and
hairpin both screw into tiny hole in
the back of the middle of the design.
Some canoes, being such heavy or
naments, are arranged so that for
pendants they are very large, but
when used as brooches the cameo may
be taken out of the frame and fixed
so that it may be pinned on to the
dress. OF course, the cameo would
not be used as a decoration for the
couture, for such pins are usually of
diamonds or some other glittering
stone.

still insist that I'm talkin' about the
average man, and | don't think the
average man is lazy. The brightest
minds have had the most beautiful
thoughts, enjoyed mebby by the few,
but IL is the work of the average mind
that has built up civilization. If every
mind had been as great as Shake
speares, the world would have been a
whirlwind of ideas, like light'nin bugs
in swamp, and there wouldn't have
been anybody to stoop low enough to
dig food out of the ground. There
wouldn't have been anything to learn,
and the universe would have been a
great mental starvation. There is
more happiness in bein' able to enjoy
the wisdom of the wisest than to be
the wisest. Wisdom is sometimes a
sort of savior, crucified for the bene-
fit of mankind"

hickory shirt and a white cotton hat

But he had said enough. Old Lin
got up and busted the seat of his
trousers. Out of his mouth he threw
his quid of tobacco, as il he had been
invited to eat of some delicate dish
His nature, and his reading, taken up
long after the children had quit
school, told him that to fight chickens
was wanton cruelty. But he argued
that they were going to fight anyway,
and that the mere fact of his looking
on would not add to their suffering
Man suffered for man and 1t was
called heroism. Man killed chickens
and devoured them. He gave them
no chance for their lives. To be a
conqueror was the greatest joy of the
male portion of the animal kingdom.
To be killed in a fight did not render
the chickens unfit for food, IL anyone
wanted to eat them, and, besides, IL
offered an opportunity to die game,
and that ought to be looked upon as
the browning glory of any life. Old
Squire Brizintine looked at Linn. They
belonged to the same church, or at
least formed part OF the same con-
gregation, having married religious
women. They both of them had on
many an occasion announced their
belief In the Book from "eend to
eend." And old Brizintine looked at
him and said:

A Prospect Of Pockets.

1t is said that pockets are to return
with the fashions of the spring, but in
spite of the rumor no one has ven
tured to foretell where these com
forts to femininity will be placed in
the costume. Is 1t that they will be
fastened, as of old. to the underskirt.
OF will they take their old position at
the placket or. perhaps. will they be
cunningly placed in the belt of one of
the new semi-princess gowns?
Perhaps they will find nesting
place at the end of the long sash ends,
so popular this year, or, again, there
is a possibility that they may be sewn
to the hem OF the dress. or course,
no matter where they are, II will only
be possible to use them to carry the
dainty mouchoir of milady.

"The majority of men that l know
look forward to the time when they
are not to take any pleasure in this
life." said old Lin Jucklin, and his
neighbors who were standing about
the horseback whereon the old man
had just taken his seat looked at him
in establishment.
II don't see how that can be-" spoke
up Sam Niles, administered, squint-
eyed and a liar on most occasions,
but like most liars, the inheritor of a
sort of engaging wisdom.
Old Lin cleared his throat. And
the reason you can't see it, Sammy, is
because you are morally blind. The
average man looks forward to the
time when he won't have to work, and
when this time comes he almost al
ways finds that for him there is no
more enjoyment. Next to the enjoy
ment of work itself, We get the most
pleasure out of rest and"
And when we rest we are enjoyin'
ourselves" Sam broke in.
Old Lin nodded. Yes, but when
we haven't worked we can't rest, for
rest means the luther side of bein'
tired. After climbin hard to reach the
top of the hill we take a long breath
and ii is as sweet as spring water,
and the reason it seems so deep and
fetchin' is because the breaths comm
up the hill were short. But If we set
down on the top of the hill and stay
there the breaths amt so sweet. After
a while they get to be like the breaths
down in the valley. To make 'em
sweet you've got to climb for EN- In
this life all the way through it is al
most impossible to get any real good
out of a thing you don't work for.
That's the reason the gamblers money
don't amount to anything. 1t hasn't
any sweat value. And even If he
hadn't done anything to cause him to
be driven out, Adam couldn't have
stayed much longer in the Garden of
Eden. He never had worked, 1t is
true, and he didn't know what it was,
but the fact that he had nothin' to do
had, accordin' to my notion, begun to
make him wish that Sunday was over
with.
"But the happiest man I ever saw
was the LATEST" said Sam, and the
old-timers looked at one another and
smiled, for no matter in what rev.
erence a country oracle is held the In
grained envy of his neighbors APP
plaud the threat of his overthrow.
I'm not here to deny truths, but to
bring EN- out" replied the old man.
I've known lazy men that appeared
to enjoy themselves simply because
they want at work, and can go lit
tie further and say that the happiest
Teller ever saw was an idiot. All he
had to do was to Jolt himself and he
was tiekled mighty nigh to death. The
sight of dog a scratchin' of himself
was better to him than the keen joke
of a wise man. But when / spoke OF
the average man I meant the man
with a mind"

saw was lazy" said Sam.
