Dress, Waist and Blouse Patterns
PIQUE WITH TRIMMING
nE EMRRnInLRN

There are so many pretty materials
this season for the making Of little
girls dresses that it is really difficult
20 chose among them. but the piques
arc especially lovely and they are
peculiarly well adapted to this model.
In the illustration the material is pale
blue and the trimming is white eye
let embroidery Altogether the frock
is dainty charming The square
neck and the short loose sleeves are
both fashionable and pretty. and the
greater number of girls like them
within doors even during the early
season, but nevertheless there are
many tastes TO be considered aud the
sleeves can be made In three-q quarters
or full length with cuffs, and the
neck can be made high, either with
or without a collar. Again there are
many materials that can be used
Linen and pique suggest themselves
at once for the better dresses, but
ginghams. chambrays, percale and
galatea are admirable for morning
wear and the trimming can be the
same material braided or embroidered
or contrasting one. In the back
view. linen is shown with a little I'm
ish of soutache on the yoke and cuffs.
In the small view, the dress is shown
with round neck and a little embroid-
cry applied over the yoke All these
treatments are desirable and in style.
For the cool days that still remain
the dress made with high neck and
long sleeves would be pretty for serge
or shepherds check or any material
of the kind. and linen and all wash
able fabrics are charming for the
coming season. The dress is plated

q moon, for the earth TO Venus at this
time looks very large and bright, al
most as much so as our moon does
to US.
If We could see all the illuminated
surface of Venus on these occasions
we should have quite distinct sec
ond moon. When we do see all of her
illuminated surface she is on the OPP
posite side of the sun from us and
consequently at an enormous distance,
yet she is so brilliant as to prevent us
from seeing her surface distinctly.
But to our own moon we appear in
the best light as moon. A full earth
as seen from the moon, according TO
Todd and other astronomers. is q very
inspiring sight. It can at once be
seen why this is necessarily true. The
earth is several times larger than the
moon and would appear in the heav-
ems as a disk about fourteen times the
size of the moon. 1t would probably
shine with a variable light. due to the
shifting clouds of the earth, though
the light is. Of course, reflected from
the sun, and the reflection is due in
part to the upper surfaces of the
clouds.
The outlines of the continents of the
earth appear very clearly to the moon
as if they were formed in papier
mache on q globe. Cities of compar-
atively large size could be made out
with ease in case observers were there
to make them out. The intensity of
the reflected earth light would be as
much as fourteen moons and would
enable the Selenites. if such there
were. to read or work in comparative
daylight.-Harper's Weekly.
