THE GREAT SECRET.

Loving God is the secret which

Guilty in understanding comes when

The Century Magazine and St.
Nicholas for the coming year promise
to rank as heretofore among the
greatest forces in the literary life and
culture of the nation. Their prospec-
tus indicates a wealth of interesting
matter, in fiction, travel, description,
dignified sport for adults, and the
very best, purest and most elevating
stories, sketches, and other suitable
matter for children. Those two peri
odicals stand out from the mass of
present day monthly literature as the
highest types, catering not to the
vicious tastes, but uplifting while
they entertain and attract.

HOME.MADE SILK ROSES.

One ofthe loyeliest of the early
showings of new hats was trimmed
with roses made in soft shades of
sheeny silk combined with folds of
silk in the same tones.
Though this hat was straight from
Paris, the roses upon it could easily
be fashioned by any girl who had ever
made paper flowers. Each petal was
distinct, cut from ovals of double silk
wired on the edges inside. and group
ed around a center of pistils and sta
mems that can be bought from any
milliner.
1t is we'll for the novice to expert
ment on paper petals before cutting
into the silk. Should she have any
old silks, make a complete rose by
way of sample. 1t helps towards
good shading TO draw a sketch of the
coloring on water color paper and
work from that.
