WERE NOT AT ALL DIVERTING

|B«iou*-Mindid 'Quaker Saw Nothing to 6milo at In the Lighter Poem* *■ of Whittier. ...» , The late Gertrude Whittier Cart* aand, cousin of Whittier, the Quaker poet, presented an ideal picture of the saintly aged Quakeress. Her eweet serene face framed In its tight little bonnet, seemed to shine with clear, spiritual radiance; to hear her recite, in a voice of tranquil music, the hymns and graver poems of her famous relative was always' delight* ful. But she did not have her cousin's lively sense of humor; and It was hard to tell whether this lack lessened or Increased the effect, when in exactly the same grave, even tones, she occasionally read aloud some of the verse that he wrote, not for publication, but for the pleasure of his Intimate circle. That was always light, frequently gay, sometimes fairly rollicking. Her admiration for the writer made her try very hard to appreciate his fun; 'and she thought she did so; yet mirth seemed always as alien to her tongue as a red rosette pinned upon her dove-gray shoulder-shawl' would have been to her costume. This incongruity was felt, doubtless, by another Friend, of even more serious mind than she, who once said to her reprovingly: “The verses are harmless, and I perceive they are intended to be diverting; but they do not divert me, Gertrude, and. I do not think they really divert thee. Be honest with thyself; if thee read them and did not know thy cousin . Greenleaf wrote them, would thee not consider them extremely silly 7 Thee knows I mean po affront, and greatly admire thy cousin Greenleaf. Surely he If #' great poet; but a great poet may sometimes write such silly stuff. And surely this time thy cousin has done It jßeflect and thee will agree with me.” | She reflected—on the necessity of care In selecting an audience for a joke.—Youth’s Companion.

In the Meantime.

i There had been a row at recess jtime, and Miss Martin had called in jail of the pupils, and had a sort of ia school court, which lasted until time tfor school to be dismissed. The trouble had started with some of the older [boys in h misunderstanding over a (game.- After bearing both sides of ue question, she decided proper pun* Sshment for the combatants, and told (them to remain in their seats after [the others had gone home. She rejmembered something she wanted to isay to a little boy who did not take eirt in the affray, so she turned to m and said: I "Now, in the meantime, Guy—” T wasn’t in it, Miss Martin.” Guy jlnterrupted hastily. "Wasn't in what?” asked Miss Martin. "Why, In the mean imqr said the teight-year-old. Mack’s National Monthly.

FOR AFTERNOON CALLS

LITTLE COAT AND GOWN OF THE BAME FABRIC. Blmp!e Yet Excessively Stylish Is the Model Pictured—Black Voile Over Messaline Is. Material Recommended. The little coats made of the fabric of the gown (and always worn with it on the street) have solved the problem for suitable calling costumes to be worn in summer weather. The pretty outfit pictured here is worth attention because It could hardly- be leas simple or more stylish. The materials are black voile over messaline (or any eapple silk of high luster). Satin may be-used. Emerald green messaline appears in this model with the black voile laid over It and the two materials cut and sewed as one fabric. A hand of shirring finishes the bottom of the skirt and all of the coat. The latter may be worn over a chiffon waist, hut such models are made up as a rule for street wear and a wah|£ is not essential. The charming bolero hat is in primrose hemp with an overlay of heavy cream lace about the fate. The little earrings of black jet are very chib as

a finishing touch and a long black chain of jet beads may be worn as a further embellishment. ~ This model is very handsome made of black voile over cerise silk worn with primrose hat. A sunshade in black or ceriße or in the two colors combined looks well with it also.

JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

For Neck and Hair.

Charming bandeaux for the hair and necklaces are combined, so that they can be worn now in the hair and anon on the neck. They consist of small wreaths and buckles of diamonds threaded on to narrow velvet ribbon, but the popular ornament is once more the pearl rope, long or short according to taste and the re sources of the purchaser.

MAKES AN ATTRACTIVE SASH

Pale Green Satin Ribbon Lends Itself to Almost Any Costume—How to Fashion It. One of the most attractive sashes I have seen this season was made of pale green satin ribbon eight inches wide, fdided in several narrow folds and encircling the waist in a rather narrow band. In the center of the back is a fiat bow with two loops and two long ends that reached almost to the hem of the stt-t. These ends each had three lace medallions, graduated in size, set In, the smaller one at the top. I thought what an easy thing it would be for a young girl to make for herself, for the prioe of this sash was quite beyond ,the means of a woman wi£h a slender parse... * Fold the waistband' ribbon 6k a straight pieces of belting and catch it down un<|srnte&th with silk matching the ribbon in color, an<r sew hooks and eye* on each end of this to faßten it around the waist. 'Pin the lace medallions In place and sew them down firmly on the edge with fine white cotton, then mat away the ribbon underneath, leaving about a quarter of an inch to turn back and whip down on the wrohg aide, so that no frayetT edges of the ribbon win show through the lace. Sew the ends to the ribbon-covered belting, then the hoyv over them, and the Bash la ready to wear. The same kind of a sash without lac* Insets, bat with each end edged with deep silk fringe, makes an at* tractive sash to wear with a summer frock.- Ton will find it quite a simple matter to make yourself one of these

READY FOR SCHOOL OR PLAY

Useful Llttla Outfit That May Be Fashioned In Either Onto of Three Materials. A nice little outfit this, which would be found most useful for school or vacation wear; it might be in linen or zephyr, <jr even navy serge. The

dress is cut Magyar, and has one tuck taken to hem at back and front, a belt of lighter material draws the dress in below the waist, braiding trims the top and edge of sleeves. The slip is of tucked material chosen ‘according to that used for dress; narrow insertion finishes it at neck and edge of undersleeves. The slip is set to a plain piece of material, which is buttoned to the knickers—these are of the same material as the dress. Hat of white cambric, embroidered at the brim, and having a colored ribbon taken round the crown and tied in a bow at the left side.

Kilts Are Coming.

The side plaits- that have been so cleverly introduced into the skirts this summer are merely advance agents of the kilted skirt that is coming back. Oh, it will not be the allenveloping arrangement of heavy folds, but will fall from a fitted yoke around the hips. Already are very exclusive models being designed for soft silks that examplify the idea yet are unobtrusive in the change of style. You are not really surprised? The fullness at the hips has been so insistent that we must accept the change philosophically, remembering that it is the rule of fashionland.

Washable Belts.

Washable belts are delightfully practical notions, says the New York Times. They come In white pique and bronaline, matching the newest skirts, and a colored linen of many tints. The white belts have a small pocket or sidebag, very useful for change a little pocket handkerchief. The belts are narrow in width and their cost is SO cents. The leather and silk belts are also much worn, and come in every shade and several widths.

pretty sashes if you are fond of needlework and have what is known as good taste.” —Exchange.

Fashion's Fancies

White and tan-colored shoes are in the lead. .Serges are prime favorites for the tailored suits. Handbags of lace are a pretty summer novelty. Linen dresses are prettier this season than ever before. Belts, if worn, most be worn in harmony with the costume. Negligees in both empire and straight effects are shown. Ratine and macrame allover laces are used for peplum blouses. One lingerie dress has a sash edged with narrow Valenciennes lace. In very deep mourning, tiny bands, folds and piping of crepe are used. Frocks of changeable taffeta are trimmed with narrow velvet ribbpn. Street suits of white serge and fine Bedford cord continue to be popular. Macrame, filet and Venetian laces appear as parasol borders and insets. The latest novelty in sRk hosiery bearing .the approval of Paris is stockings embroidered with dots. These may easily be done at home and many who cannot afford to pay the exorbitant price asked for a pair of these pretty stockings may enjoy the luxury of owning several - pairs. Embroider the dots in a triangular shape upon the instep, carefully following the outside line of the triangle which yon have basted on the stocking.

Tou "bet, our Congressman—he knows Just what he is about; He rises In the Capitol, and for us folks he’ll shout— He kept his wits about him when the River Bill went through. And little Dusty River got a 'propriation, too. One million dollars to improve the Dusty River! Wen, We’ve got the dandy Congressman; that’s what I’m here to tell. The Dusty River rambles down across our blooming plains. And you can see it ripplin' If you’re watch! n’ when it rains. She ripples, when she dampened up, as gayly as you like; But other times It’s hard to tell the river from the pike. Our Congressman, however, has assured us that right soon We’ll hail the Dusty River as the biggest kind of boon. Our Congressman declares that in about a year or so We’ll see the steamboats sailin' up where now the brambles grow. He says it stands to reason, if we’ve got the river route, That it’s the place of government to come and help us out. And so he dealt the Treasury some energetic thumps, * And we’ll run the river with a million dollars’ worth of pumps.

The Pancake.

The pancake is ar distinctive American institution. - It is eaten only In secret in our best families. It would be eaten openly and above board were it not that folks of the upper circle have to maintain their dignity before the servants. Properly made, the pancake is a thing of beauty and a joy for the time being. - Improperly made, as it usually is, it is a blight upon life and a harassment to the stomach. A wrongly prepared pancake can stay with you longer than the after effects of pneumonia. If our girls were taught how to make pancakes, civilization would go forward so rapidly that those who are now trying to reform our social structure would be back numbers by day after tomorrow.

Knew His Rights.

“No, indeed, I will not take it,” protested the destitute man. Nonplused, we gazed first at him, and then at the worn ten-dollar bill we had sought to induce him to accept for the benefit of himself and the starving family he bad mentioned with such pitiful effect. “No, sir,” he continued, "I am entitled to a nice, crisp, new ten-dollar note, and that’s what I insist on. I haven’t read these stories of philanthropy for nothing.”

One Way Out.

Thoroughly angered, the railway magnate stood glowering at the governor. “Oppose me and my traffic combination, will you?” he thundered. “Why, I’ve got a good notion to buy your blamed little state for a freight yard!” > Saying which, he strode from the state house so rapidly that the kodaks were snapped in vain.

Our Crusade.

It is pleasing to note that the New York legislature has passed a bill abolishing the public drinking cup.- We shall continue our crusade until it is done away with in all the states, and then we shall lead a movement to do away with the combs and brushes in public washrooms.

HER LITTLE HAND IN HIS

Mr. Peeke’s Explanation as to Reason Bomowhat Dispelled the Odor , of Romance. * _. Henne and Peeke were two henpecked married men. The other day they met, and, after a few casual remarks concerning the weather, the subject of women and unfortunate husbands was—perhaps naturally—discussed. To Henne, however, suddenly came thoughts of years ago, when he was a happy bachelor, and (unconsciously of what Fate had In store for him) was “walking out” a girl who was, later on, destined to bring )tlm sorrow and misery. Peeke, seeing a “far-away” look in his companion’s eyes, inquired the meaning. Henne retorted dramatically, “I was just then thinking, old fellow, of those happy days long ago—when I used to bold that girl’s hand in mine for hours —when —” But the equally unfortunate Peeke suddenly cut his companion short by exclaiming: “Why, that’s nothing! Cheer up! Do you know, only yesterday I held my wife’s hand for three solid hours.” “What?” said the startled Henne. “Yes, it’s a fact,” resumed Peeke, sorrowfully; “and T declare if I’d let loose she’d have killed me.”—London Tit-Bits.
