.DOROTHY'S NEW
 ROLLER SKATES.

Little Dorothy always begged her mother to loop up one of her window curtains when she went to bed. that she might go to sleep watching the stars twinkle, and in the morning see the sun rise, and after he had risen. see if his goldy locks were all on end, as her own often were. So one morning she woke up. not quite as early as usual, and found her room full of light, which seemed to dance about some bright object on a. chair by her bedside, but which she was at first too sleepy to investigate
 For a moment she lay quite still. thinking that perhaps it was some fairy wand which caused such a gilt ter, and that presently a real live 1a1- ry. with beautiful gold wings, would perch on her thumb, and offer to grant her three wishes like other obhging fairies she had read about And the very first wish that came in to her head was for a pair of roller skates: and having got fairly awake at last, she saw that this bright some thing by her bedside was indeed a beautiful 17a-z pair of skates So bright that she could see her own hap py face reflected in them!
 Mother nother!'' she called out. ''come quick! Did you or the fairies bring me these lovely new skates 2"
 Mother smiled. t'Who do you thinlx?', she asked, cuddling her ht- tie daughter up close.
 ''I guess it was you, dear mother answered the little girl, with a grate- full hug, you're better than any fairy
 After breakfast Dorothy hurried off to the park She strapped her skates on as fast as she could and was just about to glide away on the smooth pavement when she notived a, poor little girl standing near, watching her with almost a hungry expression in her sad brown eyes Dorothy paus- ed a moment. ''Do you like to skate ?'' she asked, turning to the wistful lit tie brown-eyed girl
 'sDo IT" was the answer, 'tI just love it; but my father had to sell my skates because he had no money to buy food with, and, and, haven't got any skates any more" Dorothy sat down again on the bench quickly. what is your same ?'' she asked, as she undid the straps and let one of the skates fall on the ground in her hurry.
 Mary Rodgers" answered the Et-
 Mary said Dorothy, eagerly, holding out her skates. you put I these skates on just as fast as you can, and then you take as long a skate as you want to; III sit here and

LINGERIE CARRIAGE COVERS

Pique or linen are the favored ma terials for making lingerie carriage covers. When the former material is used it is necessary to cut the. piece for the underfiap and seam it again on the under side, for both sides Of the pique are not alike.
 This flap is drawn over the strap and holds the cover in position. The car riage cover should he cut long enough to extend over the end of the carriage. The width should be ample, also.
 A simple design is preferable for the cover. anything elaborate is not con sidered good taste. A combination of eyelet and solid embroidery is charm ing for the cover of linen or pique. The edge should be scalloped and button hole-stitched.
 The daisy design is always appro- priate for the cover of linen, and rhe festooned garlands of small flowers and foliage looped up with bow knots or ribbons is a design generally ad- mired.

 It is the duty of all women to be as beautiful as possible. They owe it to themselves. to their friends. and to the world at large. to use every 1egft- innate means to improve their person al appearance.
 Every morning. the woman who cares, should sit down in front of her mirror and inspect herself with a crit 1cal eye After she has discovered what she must conceal. what reveal. what enhance or soften, she goes c1ev- erly to work
 woman that she is. claiming that q visible pin. a missing hook, or stray r71sp of hair will spoil the tout ensern- ble. and she is right.
 It is her care in pinning on her belt, fastening her hat and smoothing over her coiffure, that makes her. what she is-a delight to the eye.
 Go you and do likewise devotees Of beauty Do not make the mistake. for instance. of wearing the delectable short sleeve and forgetting to first powder your arms. as bare red arms are anything but an ornam ent.
 Another error of the modern wo- man is that of powdering the face and not the neck The result is ai- most laughable in this day of collar less frocks- Don't you commit this bsa1ty sin
 It IS an extremely dainty idea to touch the lips and 1obes of the ear1s with perfume after one's hair has been dressed and ones gown donnsd. The sting of the alcohol in the scent cd liquid will bring the blood to the surface with a rush. while the sweet

PEARLS IN FLoUNDERs.

stonington. Conn. July 25.-Pearls. varying in size from a bird shot to a large pea, have been found during the last two days in large founders. Real pearls the fishermen claim they are, brown and brownish white in col or. Just the sort that they occa- sionaIly run across in oysters. Local Jewellers say that some of the lighter colored ones are comparatively val uable.
 The pearls were all located along the backbone of the fish and have been found in this region Of the fsh's anato'. y in each instance
 All the fishermen, instead of deliy- ering their founders to the dealers whole and alive, have taken to clean ing them themselves ina the hope of locating more of the little precious stones.

IO-DAY,S POEM
THE TWO ROSES.

On a bank two roses fair, 2 Wet with morning showers, Filled with dew, in fragrance grew AS I, pensiye, full of care, Gathered two sweet flowers; Tell me, roses, truly tell, If my fair one loves me well. Then in leaves of white arrayed, Not a speck to dim them, So find the spotless mind, Which adorns my lovely maid, Gathered two sweet 7owers;-. Tell me, roses. truly tell If my fair one loves me we'll Like her cheeks the blushing ray Which thy bud encIoses; Brighter far than you they are, 2 But her charms, if should say You'll be Jealous roses; Tell me, roses truly tell, If my fair one loves me well.

Ahi world experienced! what Of thee How few thy pleasures. and those few
 how cold"
 Contented is the woman who has 1 implicit faith in the man she loves, The bangs of Jealousy are unknown to her. The most beautiful and bril- liant Of women may dutter about him; but if d. dllet of love binds his eyes he does not see them. He is deAf to their dattery.s. Absence makes the heart grow fonder toWard the object of his afrection; but it happens once in a while that even the most com scientious Of men are caught in a whirlpool of circumstances from which they find it difficult to extricate them selves to the entire satisfaction of sweethearts.
 A girl rival of his loved one may be persistent in her efforts at setting her cap for him. If he meets her at the home Of a friend quite 1nexpectedly, he must be courteous to her; and. as a gentleman, he cannot permit her to find her way home. especially at night. If she asks him a.rchly, if he will execute a. little errand tor her stop at a florists g, and order her a dozenk choice roses. her favorite, hes as an old acquaintance of her family. would not disoblige her.
 If he is taking a. short cut through the park, and happens to encounter the same girl, 1t does not occur to him to hurry past with a slight nod If she's going in his direction he feels in duty bound to slachen his pace and walk beside her as far as the en- trance. Of themselves, these incidents are of small moment to him. But when the girl carelessly recounts to his sweetheart that the lover she has such conf1dence in has been beauing her home from evening affairs. taking walks in the park with her, sending her flowers, her faith in him is shaken to its foundation. He may explain the matter frankly. but that is not saying her fears are groundless. and forever set at rest
 The woman who believes here trust betrayed always harbors a. doubt in her heart. This is the b1ighting frost, that sooner or later kills love If the heart is disturbed in it's love dream, it can never afterwards beat with the same Joyous rhythm. It > is always wisest and best for a.sIover to explain at the time being just how this or that occurrences took place. that he may have her views on the subjeet- Her confidence is worth everything to him With it. a happy future is as- sured tor them. Without 1t, their lives will drift apart. Lost is the whole world to nim if he possesses not the jewel of her confidence
