Misses Lace FfilIs

" GIRL who is a little inclined to
IL be thin will often find 1t hard to
make the fullness in the front Of
her thin summer waists set just as she
would like to have It, These thin
waists can not, Of course, be kept in
the proper lines all tho time, as thicker
ones with bones can, and they need
adjusting when they are put on. A
great help In arranging the fullness is
to have little gathered frills of lace or
embroidery on the corset covers to be
used with thin waists.
These frills are also most useful with
all lingerie gowns. Many of the most
beautiful of these gowns have fronts
that are largely made of very thin lacN
insertions, and they need something to
mold them out. Besides. the effect o,
these little ruffles is much better
through the Transparent lace and lawn
than when the buttons of corset coveA
can be seen.
The frills should not be sewed to the
corset cover, but to q separate piece of
muslin, which must be arranged to fas-
ten on the corset cover with tiny but
tons. or can be fastened with the very
small safety pins under the upper ruffie.

corset cover from near the top to be-

as nearly as possible in the silk and
the thin material for the underskirt.
Buy at the same time some green silk
to make the calyx at the top of the
stem and pointed green leaves of the
sheath that grows on the outside or
almost all flowers This green need
not exactly match that on the real
flower. for a silk as vivid as the green
of nature is apt to be too bright to be
becoming. and softer shade will be
more pleasing.
The flowers best suited for these
dresses are roses in any color, tulips.
poppies, lilies (both the Easter lily and
the water lily. the latter being parttc-
ularly effective). daffodils and the fieur-
de-lis or iris. The skirt should never
be very long, and looks best as short
as is becoming to the girl who is to
wear 1t.
The petals of the flower are cut from
the silk in the shape of those of the
natural flower Except that sometimes
they have to be little longer in pro-
portion to the width. and are sewed
to the top of the skirt. turning down

inside the green there are more colored
petals (much smaller than those Of the
skirt), which give the flower effect at
the top. This flower effect can be
carried out in either high or low neck,
using more or less petals.
In making water lily dress the
green silk should be darker than for
the other flowers. and the sheath leaves
are much larger. To give very per-
feet imitation Of the flower there ought
to be little inner sheath of very pale
pink and belt made of twisted cords
of dark green and reddish brown silk.
These cords represent the stem of the
water lily, which is so important a

The Chief Element of Beauty.

"How beautiful upon the noun
tains are the feet Of Him that bring
eth good tidings." The figurative
language of Isaiah has attracted the
attention of every generation of read
ers. He saw beauty in the fact of
beauty discharged. Here is bit Of
real life philosophy. At first sight
one may appear exceedingly beauti-
full of face and form; If it is learned
later that wicked heart is conceal
ed within, and that immortality has
the throne, the former beauty seems
to vanish. The ugliness within ap-
pears to the beholder, rather than
the beauty which first attracted him.
On the other hand the facial ap-
pearance of a stranger may be for
bidding; the form may be bent, twist
ed; but, If it is learned that the un-
slightly person is walking closely and
carefully in the pathway of Chris
tian duty, the repe1ling aspect dis
appears, and an observer sees the
beautiful character instead. 1t is but
but Isaiah's philosophy of life show
ing itself anew. The dutiful are the
beautiful, the beautiful are the duti-
full, and these two are one.-Relig-
ious Telescope.

Strange Bible Facts.

The learned Prince of Granada,
heir to the Spanish throne, impris-
oned by order of the Crown, for fear
he should aspire to the throne, was
kept in solitary confinement in the
old prison at the Palace Of Skulls,
Madrid. After thirty-three years in
this living tomb, death came to his
release, and the following remark
able researches taken from the Bible,
and marked with an old nail on the
rough walls of his cell, told how the
brain sought employment through the
weary years.
In the Bible the word Lord is
found 1853 times; the word Jehovah
6,855 times, and the word Reverend
but once, and that in the 9Th verse
of the cxi. Psalm. The Sth verse
of the cxvii. Psalm is the middle
verse of the Bible. The 9th verse
Of the Sth chapter of Esther is the
longest verse; 35th verse, 18th chap
ter of st. John is the shortest. In
the evil. Psalm four verses are alike,
the 8th, 18th, 21st, and 31st. Each
verse of the cxxxvi. Psalm ends alike.
No names or words with more than
six syllables are found in the Bible.
The xxxvii. chapter Of Isaiah and xix.
chapter of End Kings are alike. The
word Girl occurs but once in the
Bible, and that in the 3rd verse and
Ill. chapter Of Joel. There are found
in both books of the Bible 3,586,4S3
letters, 1858 words, 31,373 verses,
1,1S9 chapters, and sc books. The
XVI. chapter of the Acts Of the Apos-
ties is the finest chapter to read.
The most beautiful chapter in the
Bible is the xiii. Psalm. The four
most inspiring promises are John xvi.
chapter and End verse, John vi chap
ter and 37th verse, st. Matthew XII.
chapter and 28th verse, and xxxvii.
Psalm, 4th verse. The first verse of
the TX. chapter of Isaiah is the one
for the new convert. All who flatter
themselves with vain boastings of
their perfectness should learn the vi.
chapter of Matthew. All humanity
should learn the vi. chapter of st.
Luke, from the 10th verse to its
ending.
