Long Waists.

A l~ong-waisted effect is sometimes
obtained with a wide crushed girdle
by adjusting an ornamental band of
trimming around the neck and down
the front of the waist at each side of
the vest, carrying it across the girdle
and fastening with buttons at the
lower edge. The girdle, which is
preferably of contrasting material,
shows between the ends of the band
in front.

The Habit Back.

1t is hard to find a skirt without
the habit back. 1t is old-fashioned
to finish it in any other way. The
fat edges Of the opening may be
closed with buttons and %buttonholes
which are fastened from top of waist
to end of corset, but if the skirt fast
ems in front the back is fitted smooth
ly without rleats and hangs in straight
lines.

Since the popularity of white cot

nestle cotton crepe for fifteen cents a
yard has been brought out. 1t is not
nearly as good style as the Japanese
article, but, as the other is expensive,
this serves as a. good substitute. 1t

/ will not say that modern civiliza-

tain that modern civilization never
could have come to pass without the
faith of the Church Of Jesus Christ.
Look at it. Did not the great doc

the world personality, fraternity,
equality, charity? Is it not the doc
trine of democracy? The Lord took
human nature, not of any class, not OF
any race. In Him there is neither
Jew nor Greek, barbarian, bond or
free; but Christ is all and in all. How
naturally slave and master went to
the altar side by side! How natural
ly, since the days Of Philemon, the
Christian spirit set itself to break
down slavery! How naturally wom-

status of the women of a nation, so
is its civilization; that the reason
that Mohammedanism, the most pro-
gressive effort Of the human race,
came to naught, is the harem. Natur-
ally Christianity made the hospital

state. It sought to break down the
terrors of privilege before the law

BOND HOLDER FIGHTS :
RAILWAY RECEIVER.

TRENTON, July 2s.-Couasef for
Daniel Killian, owner of one bond Of
the Camden and Trenton Railway Com
pany, who is fighting the receiver at
every turn. although the other bond
holders are satisfied with the Way
things are being conducted for the
company, has filed exceptions to Special
Master Grey's report in the United
States Circuit Court.
Killian says that the master should
have refused to allow the first mort
gage against the road held by J. kear-
ney Rice, of New Brunswick, to become
a first lien on the property. but have
declared them paid n satisfied. He
attacks the compensation allowed Re-
ceiver Wilbur +. Sadler. jr.. by Chan
cellor Pitney in the Court of Chaneery,
as a first lien on the property. Another
exception Is that the master omitted
to certify the amount of municipal or
State taxes or other taxes due of
record on the mortgaged premises.

them might be mentioned the Temple
Band, which will accompany the excur-
sionists and give a concert on board the
steamer. Noble Benzler and Tenor
