There Is not likely to be radlcai | change in the use of trimmings this season from that in vogue last winter, at least regarding its application
 Button effects will predominate, and In this regard the new spring models
 show much more taste exercised in
 their application. It is certain that
 the vogue for satin has not worn itself out for trimming purposes. but corded
 silks. particularly the bengalines and crystals. will be more utilized than the satin fabrics. Many plain materi- als will be used, as this tendency seems to grow stronger each season
 Stripes and striped effects are also
 good. Laces and embroideries com
 mand a lot of attention now, as nearly everything Is embellished with these trimming accessories. One ot the new
 features in the lace line is the button effects. These vary as regards size and usually run about an inch In d. ameter They are expected to grow
 stronger in popularity as the season advances Buttons and balls are start ing out very strong on all the spring
 garments and are worked up in all
 most every conceivable form, being used as fringe on guimpes as well as an adornment for bands and all overs. A new effect Is that of tucked silk and metal embroidered all overs. Nets and tuckings are of conventional descrip-
 tion, tucks being in series. The de- sign Is on the plain net, between the tucks being a silk metal thread. A very clever arrangement is the rum ming ot a little silk thread through
 each separate tuck. This makes 1t stand out and gives very striking effect. Metal effects will play very important part on the spring costumes
 This season the vogue for embroideries promises to reach it's height and dainty all overs, insertions and fiounces will be seen in profusion. The new em- broideries are wonderfully sheer and fine the work in many instances is done on hand looms and they have quite as lacy an effect as real Val or Normandie lace. Many of the pat
 terms are as delicate IS lace and far more effective. on summer frocks the panel or stole of embroidery will be much used. some panels are weighted by large tassels of crotched cords. Elm
 broidery motifs will run riot on all summer dresses. Painted frills are seen everywhere on shirtwaists. col
 lars and cuffs. neck ruches, gowns and hats These frills have unlimited pos
 abilities for adding charm to ones outfit. In shirt waists they are to be laundered, the cost is not much more because of the frills, and by tacking
 them together before washing. they
 can be preserved for a long time. In
 such materials as net chiffon. they
 keep fresh almost as long as the
 fabric lasts. The plating can be
 had at any of the stores. by the yard
 at small cost Tn a great variety of oolors and textiles. Ribbons will be
 used extensively in all widths and all
 surface effects. The colors that seem
 to command the most attention are d. do

The Directoire and Empire styles so patronized by the older folks have car ried their influence to the misses as we'll and in the spring styles there are many modest suggestions of this trend. In the coat suits these ideas are main ly carried out In the long straight lines in both coats and skirts and in fancy Jackets and trimmings. Buttons were never shown in greater profusion as a trimming and are especially pro- nounced In the trimming of the back of the coat below the waist line. &C., centuating the long hipless effects, which are quite as much of feature of the younger generation's garments as of the woman's.

In the dresses, the one-piece styles have the preference over all other designs. although many sailor suits are shown. Many guimpe CT jumper effects are also shown with the kimono sleeve.

These are of lawn or batiste and trimmed with lace edging. Windsor ties are worn with these collars, tied in sailor knots or bow form. Little girls are now wearing black stockings with patent leather pumps.
 The conspicuous note in the shape of hats for young girls Is the fact that the styles demand Just the op- posite from what was in vogue last season. Instead of the hats turning up this spring, all brims are turned down. All children can wear turned down brims with becomingness even ifthey are trying to their mothers and older sisters. The brim turns down over the head all around, except just in front, or rather. little at the left of of the front, where 1t is caught with a big rosette of satin.

The conspicuous note in materials for the season just past has been the satins messalines and broadcloths Satins and messalines in particular were popular from their clingtng na- ture, which was such a desirable ad- junct to the styles of this period. That same style prevails for Spring ana able weights. will obtain during the coming months Broadcloths also of a lighter nature. will be very popular Black satin faced fabrics are getting stronger every day in favor and will be onspicuous for evening wear. even during the warm months at the more fashionable resorts. Blacks will also command attention in silk and woolen textures and are shown extensively in fine serges, soleils, invisible stripes and checks for street wear Corded silks are predicted to be wanted and dealers everywhere are laying in great quanti- ties of this character of fabric. Foul ards are very fashionable for this season, and while they are shown in both heroic and small designs. in the main the small figures will be most favored.
 Conventional figures and modified geometrics take precedence over the floral designs. This Is also true in wash goods. Plaids will not be very popular this season. excepting for school girls and children. The tend ency is more toward plain fabrics.
 Mixtures and small checks are the predominate note of wooden fabrics. The newest fabrics for Spring show a lot of old rose. dull pink, faded pink. resedas, olives. bronZes and many shades of green. Hunters green will be especially fashionable. Pansy shades show many exquisite treatments. High grade cream colors are very fashion able and will be worn much Tn light weight broadcloths In millinary, too, corded silks will be popular, especially in bengalines and crystals.

terized her scholar. He was hers for
all time, and in him she found full
compensation for all she had lost in
herself.
1t was little wonder, then, that the
mother walked with her son in the
flesh and revealed to his childish eyes
whatsoever she found that was beauti-
full and lovely in that rugged valley.
Were it but a glimpse Of an azure
sky, rosy cloud, a golden dawn, or
a gorgeous sunset, if it were but the
dainty bloom Of flower, the delicate
veining of leaf, snow crystal on
the window pane, moss-covered
stone, bright-colored pebble, or even
the long lush grasses that evergreen
the meadow brook or the willows that
trailed their slender leaves in the clear
running water, she opened to the
child's understanding the glory and
beauty Of it all, the goodness and
greatness Of God.
The day came when the child, with
his books and dinner pail, started to
Glendower school. Did the mother
return to her treadmill existence Of
toll and lonely hours? O, no! Toll
was no longer toll while her dream
child walked with her in garden Of
lilies and whispered unutterable
things. But the schoolboy What
hopes and aspirations were his! What
wonderland he was entering the
old and Worn roadway, where schol
ars had passed on before and guided
the young with signposts Of learning
To the mother there was a latent
genius in pen and copybook, a subtle
power in slate and penciI-and what
a charm in English grammar |!
Phrases at first laboriously picked
out gave place to carefully Worded
sentences; and the wonder grew as
sentence and paragraph gradually
evolved into the boys first compost
ton.
AS book after book unfolded its
knowledge to the bright and curious
mind Of the boy, the mother, with a
bouyant hope, saw before him a pros
pect fairer than she had ever dream
ed. He was living in the dawning of a
new age. There were rapid strides
in learning and easier facilities for
gaining knowledge: This was an age
Of universities and free libraries. In
ventions, wonderful and many, were
coming in. What possibilities lay
waiting for the schoolboy! What
chances for work or worship-for the
temple of industry or the gates of
praise!

WE'LL
They were companlons-mo mother and
son and the mother grew young again
in his company. She entered into his
childish sports and innocent amuse-
ments. AS he grew older, they began
to explore the valley and take long
hours off as recreation. Together they
trod the dim woods, the fields, the hill-
side paths, hand i'll hand; together
they sat by the river, watching the
sweep and flow of it's current, the
ceaseless fash and dimple Of its wa
ters; and they watched together the
one gap in the valley-that alluring
glimpse Of the great outer world
through which the setting sun poured
his glory. Together they stood by the
pasture bars and watched through the
twilight glow the lengthening. shadows
creep from the hills or the swallows
fit across the evening sky.
They were alone, yet not alone.
With the mother there was ever that
subtle presence, the dream child. beau
tiful as the morning, who strength
ened her spirit and inspired her
thoughts. He was ever with her,
lovely in person, gentle in manner,
lordly in power. Her heart was his
abiding place; yet she saw him-this
winged spirit of her dreams
on the outgoing mission Of her prayer
into the world s vast arena, a feared
among men, having the power of
knowledge; man of lofty spirit, of
inoorruptible honor; an uplift to hui
mainly.
He was her son. She knew him by
the truth of his lips, by his courtly
dignity among men, his reverence to
womankind, by the 'gentlencss that
made him great" by his unspotted
garments; she knew him for her son
when the poor blessed him in the
streets, when the aged leaned upon
him, and mothers laid trembling hands
upon his head; she knew him-this
beautiful dream child, the ideal of
her waiting heartily those infalli-
bic signs Of the Christian gentleman
and scholar.
There was the pallor on his brow,
the refined cast Of feature, the clear
light of the Students eye-the un
mistaka'ble impressions of cultured
thought. Womanlike, and like the
mother, she noted even his clearly
person; his polished nails, and careful
dress. Withal there were the same
gentle Difference, the modest bearing,
and noble uplift of soul that charac-
