LOVELY LACES ARE
EVERYWHERE SEEN
FIOunees. Searts Wells. Caps
and Collars Of This Fabric.

There is a greater quantity of lace
used In modern dress than has been
the case for many years, and real old
lace is always made use of when pos,
sible. Lace shawls. lace hounces, lace
wells. lace iappets and caps that have
been in treasure boxes for many and
many a long year are now displayed
with pride and delight.
The fashionable tunic provides a
capital opportunity for the lace scarfs
and. if big enough. the wedding veil,
incidentally the lace scarf as q scarf
is in great demand Combined with
net or voile de sole or any of the sheer
materials now so fashionable, lace
flounces are utilized. while the sha wis
serve a good purpose for the draped
overdress.
Old family lace is, however, not such
an enviabIe possession as it is often
considered. and the up to date woman
contends that. while she adores old
lace, she can often get better results
from the most modern designs and In
the imitation rather than the real
when the gown is to be made entirely
or in greater part OF lace.
The new laces are exquisite in pat
tern and texture. whether in the all
over, hounce band or tunfc. Often
there is embroidery worked over the
lace-heavy silk embroidery in colors.
gold or silver or IN pearls and rhine
stones. This seems too much to the
conservative taste when the lace Itself
is so exquisite in pattern. out this is
an age of overelaboration. and what
might at other times seem too heavy
and too elaborate now looks only
smart and effective.
i Lace is combined with many ma.
teriais. Satin. silk. crepe de chine and
brocade, all are utilized as foundation
while cloth of gold and cloth Of silVe!
must not be excluded from the list
/ All white or color for the foundation
/ Is decided by individual taste. This
| prevents monotony and is one reason
why the fashions this season are sc
varied and striking.

ALEXANDER TIE LITTLE.

An American publisher speaks of
Alexander the Great as 'history's
most successful young man.
No! In the name of decent young
manhood and right ideas, no!
What is greatness? What is sue
cess?
Greatness is goodness successfully
employed. Success is the realization
of noble ideals.
Well, then. how can it be said that
a wholesale highwayman, a despoiler
a butcher Of men, is either great or
successful? And IS it not a little less
than criminal to hold up Alexander "a
Maeedon as an examplar for young
men?
When he came to the throne he was
under suspicion Of having put his ia.

Great?
This egregious tyrant murdered with
his own hands some of his most faith

crocodile tears over the body.

beautiful young girl aged twenty
three. He was then fifty.
The second wife was ambitious So
cially and hoped to be leading fac
tor in high life. but Chicago society
deliberately snubbed and repuised her.
She persuaded her husband to move
to New York Nerkps built a mansion
there, but the social doors would not

Disinusioned, enbittered, Mrs. 1erkes
shut herself up in the Fifth avenue
palace.
Yerkcs sold his Chicago holdings
and went to London, where he made
more millions in traction. His wife
made a third essay to enter society,
but in London, as in America, she
was turned down by the smart set.
There was domestic difficulty, and she
came back to New York.
Then Yerkes returned to New York,
where he died in great agony at a
fashionable hotel. Mrs. Yerkes visit
ed him only once during his illness, a
few hours before his death.
The story is told that Yerkes died
alone, his body being dumped into 4
big laundry basket and taken by a
freight elevator down to the under
takers wagon.
And the widow?
When the will was read she was
cut off with 100000. Even the rich
art gallery in the Yerkes palace was
left to the city. And for years the
widow spent money and energy trying
to get her legal rights
Meantime she married for love" a
young man named Miner. They lived
together only one week. And a short
time ago she died of nervous prOstra-

Never in her life did this woman

Why? Did it just happen so?
No The law of compensation holds
She violated the laws of love when
she married for money and social hon.

THE UPGOING OF HUMANS.
he world Is grOWing better.

The world is growing better.
Have you seen a. glacier? If so you
have wondered at its monstrOus grind
ing power because you cannot see that
it moves. But it does move. If you
could put up some sort of a mark and
come back later on you would be con-
Vinced
SO is the progress of humanity-slow,
but sure.
Look over it's track.
A few centuries ago a majority of
the men and women were slaves to a
horde of petty tyrants. Now, save
in some out of the way world corner,
the crack of the slave drivers whip is
never heard.
III the middle ages epidemics swept
over Europe, destroying half the popu-
lations of communities. Now you sell
dom hear of the plague.
Once men and women We're tortured
and burned and hanged for religion s
sake. Now, even in Turkey, there is
tolerance and religious liberty.
Drunkenness?
4 hundred years ago the liquor habit
was common among the best people.
When the minister called the decanter
was always on the sideboard.
Nowadays it is a disgrace to be
drunken, and besottedness is largely
confined to a low type of humans.
War? .
History is the story of garments
rolled in blood Today more impor-
tant than the enginery of rifed can
non are the engines of peaee-Corliss,
Atlas. Westinghouse-an the white
palace at The Hague stands for the
furled flags Of battle.
Trusts?
Greedy, criminal, they are less in
their ruthless tyranny than the feudal
lords who held the power of life and
death over men ard women.
nd-note philanthropy.
A hundred years ago the insane were
chained like beasts in a cell, and pris-
ons were yeritabIe hells of torture,
and hospitals. homes for the friend
less and organized charities were un-
known.
Philanthropy is the product of the
last hundred years
And, so you see, when you look back
ward over the weary way by which it
has come the upward trend of strug-
Cling humans is plain.
1t cannot stand STILL 1t must go on
There is no place to stop this side OF
universal brotherhood.
You cannot stop the glacier with
your puny hand. No more can you
stop the steady ongoing of the race.

WHAT is TRUEsLOVE?

Love, which is the greatest thing in
the world, often has been sIandered by
the proverb makers.
For instance
Love is blind
Love is not blind 1t is acute and
open eyed More than that, it has in
sight. 1t sees below the surface 1t
sees the real, the Unseen. Where 9th
er eyes see deformity or weakness love
sees strength and beauty 1t does not
judge by appearances. Whereof some
of us should be glad. because, having
neither comeliness nor grace. keen eyed
love finds both. 1t sees that which is
worth loving.
Another mistaken saying:
"True love is first love-
1t may be. Often it is not Usually
first love is a sort of mushroom grow
ing sentiment 1t is not inaptly term
ed puppy love. Ordinarily it does
not last long True love is an out
gushing fountain that freely gives. 1t
will last as long as it is appreciated.
1t is more than a mere sentiment. 1t
is mature affection.
Another:
ssTrrle love never did run smooth"
But 1t does usually. Why not? True
love is harmony. 1t concerns two per-
sons. Where there is adaptation there
is accord. If there be outside interfer-
enee it will not last and cannot avail.
A real proverb is that which says,
Love laughs at locksmiths. /" 1t is the
false love that does not run smoothly.
1t cannot by the very nature Of things.
The rough ways of true love are most
ly the invention of the romancers.
And still another:
True love cannot die
It can. 1t does die-daily 1t may
be wounded so that it bleeds at every
pore. And it may be murdered out
right. Mostly it is killed by neglect
or Indifference or lack Of response or
inattention You can easily starve it
to death Like life itself. love grows
and thfives by what it feeds on. And,
on the contrary, you may feed and
pamper false love to surfeit, and it will
surely die The seeds Of death are
in it.
/ / submit that true love is so precious
thing it should not depend upon
4 proverbs, even though the proverbs
have never been challenged.
True love!
Without it earth would not be.
Without it there could be no heaven

Tho Gypsies.

Gypsies in Mexico are on the in
crease. These strange people are
found in almost every country. In
England they go By the name of gyp-
sizes, in Spain gitanos, in France Boz
hemians or Egyptians, in Germany III
geuner, in Italy zingary. They are met
on the steppes of Siberia or the sands
of Morocco It is supposed that they
are the descendants of robber or
pariah tribe expelled from Multan, in
India, about the time of the Moham-
medan invasion of that country; that
they wandered in Persia, thence
through Asia Minor, across the Bos-
porus into Turkey and from there
north, west and east over the whole
of Europe. This is curiously confirmed
by the fact that the Remany or gypsy
language spoken by these people in
western Europe contains Persian
Greek, Hungarian and German words

An instance:
IS A yonmg man apparently could not

the study and lodged it.
Then the miracle occurred.
After leaving school he wanted to be
"a civil engineer He had natural ap-
ssftude for mechanics but could not
study engineering without mathemat-
acs. He took up the study again, be-
ginning with the simple problems of
snenfal arithmetic.
Seven years afterward he entered
aGhe technical school fully prepared.
In desiring to do and trying to do he
Found the power to do.
Another instance:
An impatient, restless, loud talking
young woman determined to be a
trained nurse Her friends said she
could never succeed. It was difficult,
almost pitiful1y dfficult. but
at the end of her hospital training
she developed patience, poise, well
modulated voice. quiet ways.

THE DYNAMITE OF SIN.


Years ago somebody drilled a hole in
aa rock near a Massachusetts town and
placed Il charge Of dynamite therein,
Fer some reason the charge was not
fired.
Years passed.
Gradually the soil filtered into the
hole in the rock. and the moss grew
over it and the grass concealed it. It
was an innocent appearing place.
Then the unexpected happened.
A man and boy were working over
the spot a few weeks ago. The boy
happened to strike the rock with a
hammer. The charge exploded. The
man was mortalIy wounded and both
S1ands of the boy were blown into
fragments.
The dynamite awoke.
1t was hidden away and men had
forgotten all about it, but it was there
and it had not lost its power.
The immediate lesson of the incl
dent is the need for greater caution in
the handling of dangerous explosives
1uL SIlSO biiCiI IL Il tiIpACli it-AlAlA%SthNN
in the explosion Of the hidden dyna-
mite. And that lesson is this:
Beware of the hidden sin.
Because you may hide it never so
safely from the sight of men; you
may cover it over and it may fade
from the general recollection; you
may grow over it the MOSES of con-
<cealment, but some day, mayhap when
you least expect, hammer will strike
the rock, and
Then?
But you protest there is pardon.
Surely there is pardon. But there is
sn0 salvation from the consequence of
wrongdoing- none! You can no more
escape from the results of wrong act
than from the results of putting your
hand in the fire.
Sin is dynamite.
Hide it, and some day the hammer
of destiny viii strike the rock. There
will be fash, a noise, and somebody's
contentment will be destroyed; some
0ody's hope will be shattered BE
sure your sin viii find you OUT
Macbeth understood. He realized
that "eyen handed justice commends
the ingredients of our poisoned chalice
80 our own lips"
Therefore it is better to look the
consequences Of your evfldoing fully
In the face. 1t is better to stand up
and take your punishment. 1t is bet
yter to know than to fear-and wait
And better still
Ware the dynamite of evil! No rock
SIS strong enough to hold it. It will
fhave its own, though it rend the foun-

Summer Among the
Rockies

A charming little publication has
Just reached our desk which points
the way to most attractive summers
outing, The booklet is the annual
announcement of the Colorado Chau
tauqua and Summer School at Boulder,
Colorado. There are forty-eight pages
aud all the delights OF a summer
among the mountains are graphically
told by pen AID picture. One Of the
things which especially attracted US
was the description Of the tramps,
burro rides, carrage drives, and rail
way excursions to be taken from the
assembly grounds. Indeed 1t seems
that Boulder would be excellent head
quarters for those who wish leisurely
to tour the state of Colorado, CT these
who wish TO rest or study.
