To Water Hanging Baskets.

One Of the most attractive features of

In transplanting the vines a perforated
tin can can be placed in the center Of

great deal OF unnecessary work.

The skirt closes at the side front and
Is finished at the top with a plain

Each Of these triangles are made by
placing together three small pieces with
stripes perfectly matched.

Lace Of every sort Is being used on the
summer frocks and often two sorts are
combined upon q single costume; but In
a general way II may be said that thin
laces are used upon heavy materials and
heavy laces upon thin materials.
Shadow lace and ehantilly lace are ex-
IRENE favorites among the thinner sorts;
cluny, Irish, and the new ratine among
the heavier ones, although ratine is
scarcely available for thin fabrics, being
especially suited to linen and materials
Of similar kind.

we are wont to associate with thin ma

All-white waists are not supposed to
be smart any longer. and yet no practi-
cal woman would think Of arranging for
her summer wardrobe without including
half a dozen different models Of white
wash waists The mannish waists are
particularly smart this season. They are
cut on the most severe lines and with
long sleeves and double cuffs CORE
spending with the turned-down collar.
The elaborate lingerie blouses and the
cream-coored messaline skirts are equal
~ smart, while the Irish crochet waists
are even more attractive than ever. With
a silk or satin costume a handsome lace
or lingerie blouse for q change IL al

are entirely out Of place and never look
well with the severe tailored costumes.
The long shoulder line, preserving
something Of the kimono outline. is often
supplied by the dropped armhole seam,
the sleeve proper beginning several inches
below the shoulder point. More often
than not II mares gradually from that
line to the elbow, where Il ends in frills
or IL caught back by a deep cuff. The
ful-length kimono sleeve, cut up close
to the arm in the underarm body, Is oc-

neither beauty nor grace, though clever
designers do now and again make II take
on certain chic air in connection with
some particular gown.

A Notable Example.

II all our experiences could be tinted
in colors Of pure Joy and happiness,
there is not one Of US who would stop
for the somber tones that come when
trouble appears with all its dark. I'M
lovely trappings. And yet they tell US
that sorrow and disaster often open
eyes in ways they never were open be-
fore, and that while they desperately
hurt and crush, they bring revelations
and understanding that come through no
other channel.
Mrs Margaret z. Sangster reached the
end Of her life-road a week or so ago.
you remember. 1t was a long way she
traveled-seventy-fou years It took-and
on the road she met love, sorrow and
death of those for whom she cared the
most. But il II had been all love and
joy that she greeted on her way, one
is quite sure she lever could have writ
ten 50 understanding OF all the -shad-
ings OF life, and never have reached the
hearts OF her readers in the same telling
way that she did The experiences came,
as they must come to all, and they left
her the richer and the stronger for
them.
And so they DO to all who grow with
the years.

prunings, It Is impossible TO go on look
ing at life through the same eyes as
before, IL one has grown to meet all the
issues that must be faced sooner or
later.
We never know just what may come
next Early, very early in life, we think
OF love and happiness, and we never
drop them from our reckoning, never
grow weary in welcoming them. But
there are the other visitors death and
sorrow, that may come to-day or to-
morrow, surely at some turn in our way.
And when we do meet them, unwelcome
as they are, they either bring out the
worst or the best that s in US; for they
cannot leave US the same unless there
is more Of sallowness than of strength
in our nature
