Secretary of Deaconess Work.
Mrs. T. H. Foley, Mankato.
Mrs. Fl. M. Longley of st. Paul
explained the work of the Deaconess
Home in st. Paul at the afternoon
session yesterday. This is work
which is becoming more widespread
every year, and which is accomplish
ing a great good. The deaconesses
work among the poorer classes Of
people and are training the mothers
as we'll as the children. Their work
is missionary work of the most bad
ly needed kind and Is meeting with
great success. Mrs. Longley's talk
explained the work in a way that
made it plain to those present.
Work Among the Foreigners.
Mrs. Hill then spoke of Christian
Conservation and the immigration
Question" Mrs. Hill is full of facts
on these subjects and has travelled
all over this country and knows the
conditions pertaining to these sub
jects. She advocates educating the
foreign children among their own
people, rather than by taking them
away to schools. She told of the
work that is being done in the min
ing districts of Pennsylvania by the
home mission people and the results
which are beginning to manifest
themselves. No one could have put
this subject more impressively to
the ladies than Mrs. Hill did. She
speaks of these things from the
viewpoint of one who has seen con-
ditions and knows the needs all too
we'll of these foreigners who are
pouring into this country.
The Evening Session.
The evening session was given
over to the young people last even
ing. Mrs. Swanwick, conference
secretary of that work, presided and
gave the young ladies very instruc-
tive talk. Mrs. Hill was then intro
duced and delivered splendid ad-
dress on the young peoples home
mission work. The only young peo-
Piles organization here is the Queen
Esther circle. Mrs. D. Donohue of
North Mankato, who was elected to
the office of district secretary OF
young peoples work, was introduced
and made a few appropriate re-
marks.
The meeting was great success
for those who were present, and
they regret that it was impossible
for more of their members to hear
the addresses and papers which
were given The work Of home mis-
sions was made more plain to them
than ever before and the ladies are
full of enthusiasm for the coming
years work.

No matter how we'll supplied one
may be with summer outing toys. with
snappy motoring and travelling toys;
with charming lacey frocks for piazza
wear and with tris linen and dimity
dresses for morning use. one or two
grand toilettes will be necessary If
there is to be any participation i'll
~ceremonious summer functions.
Women dress very formally for aft
ernoon bridge and auction parties
nowadays-in fact. some unkind cynic
has remarked that the main reasons
for these feminine card gatherings are
not the promotion of sociability and
ing game: but the grand opportunity
afforded for displaying smart clothes.
At even an informal bridge-or auc-
ton, for hat is now the fashionable
game-hats are retained and many
women retain also the gloves, slipping
the hand portion under the open wrist.
1t is In better taste, however, and
vastly cooler. to pull off the gloves
and hold them in the lap or slip them
into the bridge reticule which is al
ways carried and is quite frequently
used to hold my lady's winnings. The
most formal frocks are worn for
bridge. and except when the gathering
is a veranda affair among intimate
friends silk. satin and chiffon gowns
are the rule. A cool little lingerie
frock worn without q hat would be
age bridge afternoon at a smart sum-
lner colony.
The Luncheon Costume.
Luncheons also call for elaborate
costumes and usually hats are worn
on such occasions. The luncheon is
usually followed by bridge or auction
and a dining room in which such a
luncheon is served at small tables to
twenty or more wonen all dressed in
their very best. makes one think of a
fashionable restaurant at tea hour.
June weddings. taking place at noon.
or soon thereafter. demand the most
ceremonfous gowns. worn with hats
and accompanied by faultless access
series in the way of gloves, boots and
parasol. This summer the long en-
broidered silk gloves are favored with
even most formal costumes. and in
deed some of these beautiful gloves
are quite as expensive a. kid-and are
many times cooler and more COM
Portable. One can stand a lined frock
with a snug, high collar or a torid day
If ones gloves are of cool silk, but
kid gloves with a ceremonious cos

and the embroideries are SO delicate
and artistically done that there is no
harsh contrast Of tones, the en-
broidered fabric having the silken
richness of brocade. Pale biscuit col
ored gloves are more fashionable than
white with silk. wolfe and chiffon cos
tunes. and usually such gloves have
embroidery In the same color.

The Old Songs

III VIII SOusSs
Whitherward have flown the old Songs
OF the olden, golden days;
Songs of love. OF life, of laughter;
Songs of color; songs of praise;
Songs with blood to riot through them;
Calming songs, to soothe the heart;
Living songs, not drunken Feelings
In the masquerade of Art?
oh. the Old Songs We're not echoes,
They We're tangible and real
That which can arouse emotion
Must itself have power to feel
They We're kin to songs and anthems
That the Chorus Angels sung,
In the choir-lofts of Orion,
When both earth and life We're
young.
Still they live and still their cadence,
Low, or like spring-rain fed streams
Steals within my soul inc pulsates.
Through my retrospective dreams.
Where their tents are pitched l know
not;
Save II It's on holy ground;
Not TOO far removed, by distance.
But that l car hear their sound.
Though / listen to some present
Overload of raucous tone;
With its tlmbre titivatinE;
Over all hear my own;
Hear my own the Old Songs. sound
ing
Over all the strident dearth,
And l wonder if their benson
Will again return to earth.
Whitherward have flown the Old
Songs:
They whose echoes linger still:
With the silver-throated songster:
With the tinkling. ripping rill;
With all nature, whe nshe enters
Into harmony divine?
Take your own: l will not hide YOU
If YOU guide me unto mine.
