Blouse With Broad Collar.
Broad collars are becoming to the
greater number of womankind and are
exceedingily effective on the dainty
blouses now in vogue. The very
pretty waist illustrated shows one
of a jiovel sort and is made of pale
blue loulsine silk with trimming of
ecru lace.
The blouse is made with a fitted
foundation and consists of a plain
baok and fronts that are tucked at
their upper portions and joined to a
round yoke. The big collar lies flat
and is cut in wedge-shaped pieces at
*ts inner edge, the points of which are
ttached to the shield and under which
w
the ribbon is passed. Ihe shield and
stock are separate and are attached to
the waist beneath the collar. When
desired they can be omitted and the
waist worn with an open neck.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is 4% yards 21
inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide,
4 yards 32 inches wide, or 2 yards 44
Inches wide, with % yard of tucking
for shield, collar and cuffs.
Embroidered Gov/ns.
The fad for embroidered gowns
brings many pretty fancies to the tort.
and a woman who has an artistic sense
and Is clever with her ueeuie can beau
tify her cotton gowns in any number
of effective ways.
Here, for instance, is a suggestion
tor a wash cambric that is simple, and
yet has a wonderfully pretty effect:
Make a shirt waist costume of white
linen cambric, plaiting both the waist
and skirt, and then over the plaits
around the neck, across the bust, and
just below the hips place three gar
lands of colored flowers. Make them
in this way:
Take wash ginghams of the odors
required—say a pale green and pale
pink—cut five petaled flowers of the
latter and heart shaped leaves of the
former; then, apart from the dress,
buttonhole stitch the edges with
coarse wash silk. This will make a
substantial trimming which may then
be sewed on the material in the way
suggested, connecting stems and ten
drils can be put in a running stitch
afterward with the green embroidery
silk.
When a window is difficult to open
rub the sash cords with soft soap and
the difficulty will cease.
When polishing grates add a little
powdered alum to the black lead and
you will find it does its work better.
Before polishing knives warm the
board by the fire, for knives polish
much better on a warm board than
on a cold one.
When cleaning windows don’t forget
to add a few drops of ammonia to the
water. It will make your work easier
and the effect will be better.
Tarnished stair rods are easily clean
ed. Wash them with soap and water
and then polish with a slightly oiled
cloth dusted over with finely powdered
rotten stone.
Never tolerate a dirty sink. To in
sure cleanliness dissolve a little aoda
every night in hot water and pour It
down the sink. This will remove any
grease, etc., which may adhere to the
waste pipe and thus prevent its getting
clogged.
Every mother knows that overalls
for her small boy or girl are an eco
nomical Investment. For playing about
on the beach, as well as romping in
general, they are invaluable. Cotton
rep is an excellent material to use for
overalls. A good quality of denim or
duck will also stand much hard wear.
A Hint From the Cleaner.
A cleaner gave away enough of his
secret for renovating materials to
prove very valuable to one woman.
If gasoline, naphtha, or benzine is the
cleaning fluid the amateur cleaner
finds often that the last state of the
cloth is worse than the first. Around
the spot will be a ring of discoloration
that marks the stain more thoroughly
than did the original spot. To prevent
this the fabric should be cleaned with
a piece of the same goods, the cloth
rubbed lengthwise and with the weave.
Continue rubbing until the material is
perfectly dry. If these directions are
carefully followed, it is safe to clean
the most deiicaie materials.
How to Dress for Your Photo.
Some simple facts concerning color
will be useful to many when deciding
how to dress If having their photo
graphs taken. Dark brown, dark green
and plain black materials, without
gloss, will take a rich black color.
Dark drab, dark orange, crimson and
slate will take a very rich drab color.
Violet, purple, pink and magenta will !
come out very light, while pale blue |
will look white, and should be avoided.
White Chip Hat.
This broad-brimmed white chip hat
is raised from the coifTure by a ban
deau of pink velvet, and the wreath is
of green leaves and sprays of shaded
pink flowers.
Beaten Biscuit.
Into a quart of sifted flour rub a
tablespoonful of lard, add a little salt
and wet to a very stiff dough with a
gill of water and one of milk. Put
through a biscuit heating machine, put
ting it in again and again until you
have worked it for about ten or fif
teen minutes, then cut into biscuit,
having the dough about one-quarter
inch thick. Bake for fifteen minutes
in a floured tin, after pricking each
biscuit with a fork. Some persons add
one-quarter teaspoonful of baking pow
der to the dry flour. It improves the
biscuit.
Cleaning Wash Silk Waists.
The most satisfactory way to clean
a wash silk waist is to wash it in a
suds made of benzine or gasoline and
white soap. Afterward it should be
rinsed in fresh benzine, and, if it Is
wrinkled, it may be pressed with a
warm flatiron after it is dry. A hot
iron could not, of course, be used on a
garment wet with benzine or gasoline.
The rinsing fluid may he poured from
the sediment which will collect at the
bottom and saved for another occasion.
Bey’s Costume.
Little boys are always attractive
dressed in sailor fashion. The very
pretty little costume illustrated com
bines the blouse that slips over the
head, in Peter Thompson style, with
a box plaited skirt, and is exceedingly
becoming to little tots. As shown, it
is made of white serge, with bands of
blue and is stitched with blue cortlcelli
silk, but blue serge could be substitut
ed for white, flannel is desirable and
various washable fabrics are correct.
The costume consists of the body lin
ing, which is faced to form the shield,
the skirt and the blouse. The skirt Is
box plaited and attached to the body.
The blouse Is separate and without an
opening, being drawn on over the
head. It is faced to form a deep yoke
and at the neck is a sailor collar.
The quantity of material required
for a child of 4 years is 4yards 27
inches wide, or 2% yards 44 inches
wide.
Veils for the Country.
Veils of white chiffon set off with a
narrow border of black chiffon are
among the novelties. The veils are
wide enough to cover the entire face
and descend below the chin. This is
necessary to prevent the “branded
look,” which a soiled olack veil border
produces when the line passes across
the mouth or chin, a positive disfigure
ment to the wearer. These affairs are
styled “Broadwalk Veils,” but they
may be worn at country villages and
at “springs” and mountain resorts far
from the coast.
Pearls Are in Style.
Evidently the fashion in pearls dates
from time so remote that history can
not fix the period, but it is said they
were never more popular than at pres
ent. Every real pearl, it is said, dif
fers from every other pearl, and it
takes years to select the pearls for
a single necklace. Imitation pearls
can easily be turned out round and all
alike.
Sashes are all Important for evening
gowns this season.
Coaching parasols of blue taffeta,
polka dotted in white, are edged with
a piping of white velvet.
An accompaniment for grass linen
gowns are fobs to match with charms
of self material on the end.
In every form the stole is the pre
ferred shoulder wrap, and is equally
popular in ostrich, marabout and lace.
Among the imported novelties are
plaid voiles, some in tones of green
and blue, others in delicate pastel
shadings.
Advices from Paris state that ma
erame fringe is being used In that cit>
as edging for collars and flounces on
linen gowns.
THINGS WORN BY THE GIRL WHO AFFECTS THE RURAL.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
LESSON II., JULY 10—SAMUEL'S
FAREWELL ADDRESS.
Golden Text—“Only Fear the Lord,
and Serve Him in Truth With All
Your Heart”—I Samuel 12:24—
Saul's Victory Over the Ammonites.
I. “Saul Confirmed as King."—1 Sam.
11: 14, 15. After his victory over the Am
monite*, Saul's popularity among the
people was very great, and Samuel saw
that the time was ripe for a hearty na
tion# confirmation of the step taken at
Mlipah by the national assembly. The
prophet therefore called the people to
gether at tiilgal, between Jericho and the
Jordan.
II. “The People Testify to Samuel’s
Uprightness."—1 fcam. 12: 1-6. It was at
this gathering, which closed in a conspic
uous and definite manner his service as
Judge (though not his work as a prophet),
that Samuel made the valedictory ad
dress which we study in the present les
son. Samuel challenged the thousands
before him to name, in the presence of
Clod and the king, any wrongful act of
which he had been guilty. And with one
voice the people took solemn oath that
he had governed with absolute purity.
III. "Samuel Testifies to God's Faith
fulness."—! Sam. 12: 6-12. After receiv
ing this testimony to his own faithful
ness, Samuel turned on the people with
clear testimony to a faithful God. He
reviewed their history, their wonderful
rescue from Egyptian slavery, and later,
under Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, and him
self. their deliverance from Sisera, the
Philistines, the Moabites, and the Am
monites. All these triumphs were due to
God, and yet they had foolishly and un
gratefully desired a mortal king!
IV. "The Service God Requires from his
People."—Vs. 13-15. Samuel had traced
the history of God’s dealing with the
Hebrews down to the time when they
ungratefully asked for a king. "And
even now that you have a king,” the
prophet went on to say, "God will not
forsake you. if you will continue to obey
him. He will deal with you and your
king Just as he dealt with you without
your king.”
14. “If ye will fear the Lord," etc. Sam
uel proceeds to name five things the king
and nation must do, if they would win
God's favor and maintain their own
safety: they must (1) fear the Lord; (2)
serve him; (3) obey his voice; (4) not
rebel against his commandment; (5) con
tinue (persevere) in following the Lord.
"Then shall both ye,” etc. The conclu
sion, perhaps "It shall be well with you,"
is to be supplied, as in Ex. 32: 32.
15. "But If ye will not obey, then shall
trie hand ot the Lord be against you,
not from hatred but of necessity. "As
it was against your fathers.”
V. "The Requirement of Service Em
phasized by a Miracle.”—Vs. 10-19. Sam
uel had plainly stated God's unchanged
and unchangeable sovereignty, and the
service It called on the people to render.
But the nation was slow to understand
and quick to forget. They would be more
likely to remember an object lesson, es
pecially if it was startling and stern.
Such an object lesson Samuel now ob
tains from Jehovah.
16. "Now therefore.” In order that you
may realize God's power and claims.
"Which the Lord will do."
17. "Is It not wheat harvest to-day?”
Wheat harvest began In May or June,
and lasted about seven weeks. "The
Lord . . . shall send thunder and
ralu.” It meant the ruin, perhaps in an
hour, of the crops on which they had
spent months of toir. "That ye may per
ceive and see that your wickedness Is
great.” All Bible miracles have a moral
purpose, and thus are distinctly different
from the miracles of false religions.
IS. "Bo . . . the Lord sent thunder
and rain that day, and all the people
greatly feared the Lord.”
19. "The people Bald unto Samuel, Pray
for thy servants, for we have added unto
all our sins this evil." The penitent peo
ple thus confessed not only their sin in
asking for a king, but their previous sin
fulness.
VI. “The Kind of Service Required.”—
Vs. 20, 21. It is to be (1) hearty—v. 20;
and (2) single—v. 21.
20. "And Samuel said unto the people,
Fear not, ye have done all this wicked
ness,” but God will forgive you. and wCl
still accept your service. "But serve the
Lord with all your heart.” This is the
first requirement of service, that it be
hearty, enthusiastic, whole-souled (Mark
12: 30).
21. "And turn ye not aside." The sec
ond requirement of service, that It be
single, unmixed with service of any Idol.
"For then should ye go after vain
things.”
VII. “Helps to the Required Service.”—
Vs. 22, 23. They are divine (v. 22) and
human (v. 23).
22. "For the Lord will not forsake his
people, for his great name’s sake, be
cause it hath pleased the Lord to make
you his people.” Just such a comfort
may come to any Christian In the assur
ance that God has chosen him.
23. "As for me.” Tills is the second,
the human, element in the help Samuel is
offering. He ofTers to help In two ways:
1. By prayer. "God forbid that I should j
sin agatnst the Lord In ceasing to pray I
for you.”
2. Samuel's second way of helping tho
people Is by Instruction; "I will teach
you the good and the right way." Sam
uel Is laying down his authority, but not
his office as a prophet. He will not lon
ger rule, but he will teach.
VIII. “Motives for the Required Ser
vice."—Vs. 24, 25. Two motives are urges!:
(1) that of love, gratitude (v. 24»; (2) that
of fear, prompted by self-interest <v. 25).
24. "Only fear the Ixtrd." Rut in verse
20 Samuel had said, "Fear not.” Bishop
Hall, therefore, distinguished between
two fears, one slavish or hostile, the
other filial. They were to fear God as
rhihlren revere a father, not as enemies
fear a powerful foe. "And serve him in
truth with all your heart." The service
must he sincere. "For consider how
great things he hath done for you.” Lit
erally. "with you.”
25. "But.” Here comes In the second
motive to service.—fear, self-interest. "If
ye shall still do wickedly, y© shall be
consumed, both ye and your king.” Rul
ers and people are closely bound to
gether. A country, whether governed by
a king or a president, depends for its
welfare upon virtue, that of its citizens
and rulers. Sin. as Jay Insists, violates
all the duties of civic life, "it destroys
subordination; it relaxes tho ties which
bind mankind together, and makes them
selfish and mean; it renders men enemies
to eath other." Sunday schools and
churches. In making men better, tire per
forming services as patriotic as those of
any statesman.
Controlling the Sight of the Eyes.
The control of one's eyes and ears
i3 as Important as the control of the
lips. The praper of the psalmist tvas
for a watch over his lips, lie might
have gone further In his prayer and
pleaded for a control of the sight of
his eyes. It was the Master who
brought into full light the danger of
a wrpng look. He who makes a cov
enant with his eyes, that he will not
look upon eveil, is likely to discover
a sentinel guarding his whole life'
from evil. It is a great thing to know
when to draw the curtains of the soul

A Gargantuan Feast.
A monster banquet has Just been
liven by a wealthy land owner at
iiuimperle, in Normandy, to celebrate
the simultaneous wedding of his fonr‘
•.hildren, two sons and two daughters.
No fewer than 1,600 guests sat down
Jo the feast, which took place in the
spen air. The bill of fare included
Bve cattle and sixteen lambs. So
lavish was the scale of ordering that,
though the 1,600 guests are reported
to have had magnificent appetites,
there was more than enough for all.
Nor was their thirst neglected, for
the friests emptied ten large barrels
of wine and fifteen of cider, besides
ltsposfng of much else of a liquid
character.
To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things of everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that a trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because It
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 10c package con
tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds
contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will uso no other. Quality
and quantity must win.
A Dreadful Change.
The New York Rialto is laughing
over a story told on Will Carelton,
the poet, who Is also a publisher. The
other day he appeared at his office
In a new coat, which he hung up. It
fell to the dusty floor. The office boy
picked the garment up without brush
ing it and helped Mr. Carleton put it
on. Catching a glimpse of his own
disreputable appearance In a mirror
the poet thundered: "Boy! W'hat do
you mean by this? I come in here
looking like a publisher and you send
me out looking like an author!”
Seventeen-Cent Rations.
It is pointed out that the cost of
feeding the militia which went to St.
Louis was CO cent3 per man per day.
The cost of feeding the regulars was
17 cents. Here is a typical program
for one day: Breakfast—Oatmeal and
milk, pork sausage, potatoes, bread
and coffee. Dinner—Bread and coffee,
baked beans, pork, catsup. Supper—
Bean soup, cold corned beef, potatoes,
bread and coffee. This was varied
from day to day in the way of bacon,
ham, fresh beef, canned beef, peas,
onions and other vegetables. The
regulars were better fed at 17 cents
per day than the militia at 60 cents.
The Oldest Public Building.
If we seek the oldest civic building
In the United States we shall find our
selves in the quaint old adobe palace
of the governors in Santa Fe, N. M.
This long, low structure in the sec
ond oldest city of the United States
has been the seat of government un
der the Spanish, Mexican and Ameri
can regimes for nearly 300 years. It
now contains the museum of the New
Mexico Historical society, of which
L. Bradford Prince, a native New
iorker and former governor of New
Mexico, is president. Governor Prince
considers this “the most historic
building in the United States.”
If a man has a poor memory It i3
up to him to stick to the truth.
For Aged People.
Bellflower, Mo., July 6th.—Mr. G. V.
Bohrer of this place has written an
open letter to the old men and wom
en of the country, advising them to
use Dodd's Kidney Pills as a remedy
for those forms of Kidney Trouble so
common among the aged. Mr. Bohr
er says:
“I suffered myself fot years with
my Kidneys and urinary organs. I
was obliged to get up as many as
seven or eight times during the
night.
“I tried mary things with no suc
cess, till I saw one of Dodd's Alma
nacs, and read of what Dodu’s Kid
ney Pills were doing for old people.
"I bought two boxes from our drug
gist and began to use them at once.
In a very short time I was well. This
is over a year ago, and my trouble
has not returned, so that I know my
cure was a good, genuine, permanent
one.
“I believe Dodd’s Kidney Pills aro
a splendid medicino for old people or
anyone suffering with Kidney and uri
nary troubles, for although I am 84
years of age, they have made me
well.”
