A REMODELLING SUGGESTION.

tHotS at ali difficult to handle if one fol- lows directions carefully
 This waist may be made up in com bination of silk or satin with chiffon or ali over lace The surplice closing back and frontsis novel, and the chiffon or lace vest may be finished with a round or high neck. The sleeves are of chif- fon.S being finished below the elbows with hemstftched hens.
 If new materials are used average size. requires 3 yards 27-inch silk. 1 yard 36-inch lining for the lining and 15s yard 36-inch chiffon or lace for the vest
 Five sections of the pattern are cut on an open width of 27-fnch material namely, the cuff sections eff the sleeve @ finished with a cuff. instead of at the eibow). the back, sleeve and outer front.
 The front and back and yoke and col lar are cut from 36 inch material. and the three parts are in one section of pattern A study of the cutting guide will show how to place the pattern along the lengthwise fold. of the goods to avoid an extra seam.
 The waist may also be made with an applied front and this is cut from a fold of the 27-inch fabrics or that used for the outer blouse. The applied front gives the effect of a bib and affords an opportunity to apply. bit of decora- ton in the form of embroidery or bead ing.
 For the surplice front a simple gar niture would be bands of satin or satin cords held in place at either end with fancy buttons.

TODAY'S POEM
INEFFACEABLE

All that hath been shall ever be,
 Nor any act or word be vain; Engraved on time indehbly
 And in the light all deeds remain; For though God hath dominion, He
 Cannot make void the past again. Reverse the whirling wheel of time, <Retrace the pathway of the light, And in old Egypt's darkest night, We hear the temple bells a-chime
 And see the altars burning bright. Upon the moving screen the flood
 Is still recorded fadelessly; And we may stand where Moses stoo6
 And vision of his Canaan see; Or in some rare exalted mood, s May yet behold Gethsemane. M. P. Bueh1er.

 Me to the place where would be,
 Or if you'll have me still alive T Confess you will be kind to me.
 Give hopes. of bliss, or dig my grave,
 More love or more disdain crave.' I I don't know what will become of .igirls who take it upon themselves to complain that some of the daughters of plain, old fashioned mothers stand poor chances to marry. I can't stand X for such little reverence from fair I maiden, who contides, openly, that the parent who was content to watch her idol, whom she had guarded with such loving care and looked forward to ten der companionship with, is really spoil ling her best chances.
 The young woman writes t0 me in part: T am willing to s5acknow1edge' that she whokis my motbeT has worked hard for me since she was widowed land I was quite young. She kept her promise, which was that she would never marry a second time and place l a stepfather over me. She was not I old,s and was good-1ooking. She sup 1sported me and was proud of the fact that I turned out to be 9 handsome Efaced girl, talented and popular with young men and girls. At parties and outings had the handsomest of we'll to-do young men eseorts- They showed that they hoped to become suitors of mine
 One never knows what will turn the tide of a girls prosperity, and of the ihumiliation one near to her can cause her unexpectedly He who was my devoted suitor had lost his mother. He. asked me if he might have the pleasure of inviting my parent to ac- company us upon 8 days outing on the cool water. Now can you blame me for telling you that mother was Rot presenta hle? It takes all that is made to dress me gentee1y, as I go with young women whose folks are EwelI-to-do.
 I concluded that it would be less humiliating to make an excuse and remain home rather. than to take her along5 yet she needed the cool air and relief from working hard. She cannot afford good clothes. If [ walk out with her Sunday afternoons some styl- ish- -rigged people turn around,s look at her and laugh don't know of any very inexpensive lace on a farm where she could help some for her board if I were to marry and my mother and Ito separate as he might Hlike- Appearances are everything for la girl.
 As she is good at nursing would 1t be right to try to find a place in a family where she could be treaeedl as one of them? I am not anxious, to part, with her, but will have to, no doubt, for the sake of winning a hus- band.
 DOT. A daughter to admit she. is. humil- lated by her poor mothers looks! God forbidl A young man seldom would take to his bosom For a wife a woman who has not reverence and fervent affection for her mother. No matter how plain the poor old face is, seemed with care from her cruel strug- gles, with blighting unkind fortune, she should4 seem beautiful and be- loved in her daughters eyes. One never misses the sweet-voiceo, dear aged parent until her heart is pulse- ! less and she iS no more. A girls shame should be that she even thought of her ills She better Kbe plainly garbed that better gowns might grace her mother Wed no woman, young man, who is anxious to be parted from her mother.
