FAIR SUMMER QUEEN
Mary Ella Michener Hopes.

Dearest sister, gay and fair,
With blue eyes and chestnut hair;
Thou hast entered the strange un-
SEEM"
Fare thee we'll, my fairy queen.
Thy book Of poems cheers my way;
have just finished reading
The fair Dream of the Months"
And laid the book away.
Dear sister, the sweet June roses
Are once more in bright bloom;
Many summers have come and gone
Since thou hast slept in the tomb
Thou art our darling loved one,
And ofttimes feel thee near;
Reading the pages Of thy book,
/ drop a quiet tear.
Dearest one thou are to me
AS in the days Of yore;
But other little ones have come
To play about our door.
And my darling boy oft says:
Mamma, get the book in blue and
gold
And read about Saint Valentine,
The wonderful knight Of old.
Read to me from Aunt Fannie's book
The story about Little Nell;'
I love to hear you read It;
Did you know Aunt Fannie well?
Mamma what makes you sigh?
Are you the little girl in the story
That Aunt Fannie tells about
When Saint Valentine day rose in
glory?"
No book is so dear to the children
Save the Bible, the book divine,
AS Fannie's, the child poetess;
They read and digest every line.
How many dear children have read
When the Christmas was ushered in
/ Receiving as a gift thy book
Which thy vanished hand has penned
Thou dids't love the month Of June,
Oh winsome maiden fair,
And we often heard thee tune
Sweet music in the air.
Fair Summer Queen" thou has
said:
She will not tarry long;
Let us look upon the flowers,
And hear the birds sweet song.
AS June is the queen of months,
Thou vert out Fair Summer Queen;
Thou camest 10 tarry but a while;
We drop a tear unseen
Sleep on, fair sleeper, as in a quie
dream,
And we'll scatter June roses abou
thy grave
Till we meet in the strange unseer

DELAWARE.

Say, lad, while I'm a-roving-
Just a-going from place to place,
I peer keenly at the throngs 1 meet,
AS / seek a well-known face;
Or to hear the voice of someone, who
In mem'ry is dear TO me,
But the double" fools me every time,
And / think of thee, of thee.
/ used to be a rover, lad,
In days Of long ago.
But since then l met and married
her,
And Of course you lads all know.
That a father and an neighbor,
Can't just fix his thoughts, for sooth.
To bring back the rollickng, thought
less days
Tho days OF bonny youth.
The same King Solar lights the day,
And Luna shines at night.
Upon the hills. the valeg and dells,
In lands that's just as bright,
AS where the Christiana gently flows,
Or the Brandywlne ripping, plays.
But the faces are strange, the voices
stiiled,
or bygone happy days.
So rise you hills OF Delaware,
Come in my dreams to me;
Bring with you those | love so well,
With memories sweet Of thee:
The lads ! love. the one who lies,
Meath the sod so gree md fair,
In a shady dell. meath t. clear, blue
skies.
That smile on Delaware.

HINTS BY MAY MANTON
OF FLOWERED
AND PLAIN BATISTE


Combinations of lowered materials |
with plain are greatly in vogue. IL
lustrated is a morning gown that
shows white batiste printed with a
dainty design combined with plain
pink and it is very charming and very
attractive. 1t is simple to make, also.
which should make it especially do
sirable at this season of the year.
The jacket is cut in one with the
sleeves and is tucked in a distinctive
and novel manner. The tucks give a
yoke effect at the same time that they
provide becoming fullness and there
are only underarm seams to be sewed
up. The skirt is five gored, but it is
laid in a wide tuck that gives the ef-
feet of a tunic and in this case the
lower part is made of plain lawn, the
seam being made beneath the tuck.
AS will be seen. there is very little
labor and very little time needed for
the making of such a gown, yet 1t is
greceful and attractive, fashionable
and practical. The same model can
be used for any seasonable material.
If liked, the skirt can be made all OF
one and it can be trimmed with bands
or finished only with hem and
stitched tuck. Bordered materials
are very attractive this season and the
skirt could be made of bordered lawn
or batiste, with the border cut on and
applied as banding to give a most
charming effect. Stripes are greatly
in vogue and striped lawn could be
trimmed with the same material cut
on the cross Indeed, simple as the
design is, it means many possibilities.
For a woman of medium size the
Jacket will require IL yards of ma
terial % or SO or / 3-4 yards "A in
ches wide; for the upper part OF the
skirt will be needed 3 3-4 yards "a,
3 yarCg SO or A inches wide, for the
lower portion of the skirt yards 27,
ga yards SO or A inches wide, and
for the trimming 1 yard of additional
materials q inches wide will suf-
fee.
A May Manton pattern Of the jacket,
No. zoos, is cut in three sizes, small
"a or Sc, medium SS or 40, large AZ or
A bust. The pattern of the skirt,
No. 6919, is cut in sizes from % to
80 inches waist.
Either OF the above patterns will
be mailed to any address by the Fash
ion Department of this paper, on re-
ceipt of ten cents for each.
