his divine life into our very being and
make life a new thing to US. 1t is

Blossoms may seem to fade here,

shattered here, but they will reappear
hereafter, aglow with a new splendor
Every dream, every hope. every pur-

Every shadow shall grow light; all
loneliness shall find a presence that
shall be company and joy. The bud
which is now nipped by the frost shall
yet bloom in beauty and sweetness.
The fruit which does not get ripe in
this climate shall yet ripen under the
summer skies of Immortality.
Somewhere, sometime. somehow, we
shall all attain to All that God ever

beads in pink or red or white match
every display of model hats, and
beads of other varieties play their
parts, those Of jet and pearl and
those in turquoise blue make up some
very handsome bands.
Braids are unusually beautiful. The
Rannie braids are shown in all colors
with an iridescent play of color in

shell or soap bubble. The silk fibre
braids are soft and pliable and all are
light as air.
French plumes are favorites on fine

Chicago University Settlement, urged
the passing of resolution asking for
an increased appropriation for factory
inspection and the appointment of
more women factory inspectors to
look after the rights Of the 10000
