Teaching ThankfuIneas.

There is no more piuful object on
earth than a thankless child" writes
Frances Mack Mann in the Boston Journal.
"A child should be early taught to feel
and express gratitude-first to God, then to
his parents and to others. for benefits re-
ceived. We are taught that black is not
a color, for it absoTbs all rays from the
sun and radiates no light. Thus It is with
the solf-centered child. II we would have
children OF light, and the children Of the
day they must be taught to give as we'll
as receive. All thanksgiving is expansive.
1t can never be bottled up. 1t overflows
and enriches. There is scarcely a soil that
does not produce something, II it be no
more than the thorny cactus. However rich
the soil, it may produce briars and scrub
oaks, or it may be covered with flowers,
fruit trees and grass, according as 1t Is
cultivated. 1t is the same with the con-
seriousness of the child, but it will not
produce its best possibilities without the
cultivation Of thanksgiving"

among the debutante contingent. may
wear. as a recent bride Is doing, a gown
Of this exquisite creation. To begin with,
this gown proper Is OF pink mauve in that
bright tone that so many Of the satin
faced silks and so-called crepes in vogue
are found. II represents a most charming
princess model for a dinner and dance oc-
casion. the train being a full half length.
Here, too, we find one of the new move
ments in evening gowns carried out to
success, and that is by overlapping with
lin this instance) rose pink net, beautifully
sheer. The bodice line front and back Is
square, and this net over-drapery starts
just below the line OF decolletage, while
the satin underslip fits close to the figure
nearly half way down to the knees. a
tablier front of pale mauve satin and quite
a wide one, too has its surface embroid-
cred with bugles, pearls and silver in small
flower designs with many pointed leaves.
This drapery net is laid first in plalts at
the bust on each side, the space between
being kept quite wide apart, as the de-
sign of the embroidery requires, and then
It Is drawn down to the bottom. There, al
most a meeting point, 1t is closely drawn
together and turned under. Above 1t a
twisted satin bow OF good size is laid upon
the satin hem of the skirt for ornament
The net drapery is then adjusted at the
sides In order to conform easily TO the
figure outlines and is fastened in like
manner over the hem with a similar visit
bow of satin, the net having been drawn
over the hem of the skirt quite flat be-
fore these large BOWS were put on. A
fourth bow is to be seen at the bottom in
the middle OF the train at the back, the
drapery having been plated across the
back neck opening OF the bodice so as to
allow it to float down with perfect ease
TO the very hem of the skirt. These over
skirt draperies must not give the sugges-
ton Of being drawn in the least or
skimped; on the contrary, the artistic idea
is intended to be that of a vaporous cloud
like tissue floating over and above so per-
fectly ~diaphanous a fabric, through which
the lovely tint of the gown silk is both
seen and felt In tones of different grades.
Both the band across the bust and the
one in the back. as well as the half
sleeves, are Of real lace in Point de France
Of rare fineness. All in all. a superb gown
OF decided distinction is this example of
recent execution.

Gauzy wraps OF many kinds are worn
