For the economical woman who likes thi appearance of a silk skirt there are pretty ones of Klorla which ere effective and durable. They will wear indefinitely. Pretty skirts for summer wear which are Inexpensive are those of the narrow striped silks known as the "Summer" silk. They come In soft tan and silver gray stripes.

Other flowers are used in this way with pretty effect. There Is every prcspeet that we shall be wearing overskirts within trie coming year. Tho tunic skirt is being boomed by the dressmakers, and since many women have taken kindly to the Innovation, its success is fairly well assured. The style Is very becoming to tall figures, but it Is not at all a happy one for short vr stout women. The prettiest little frocks that baby girls are wearing this summer are made of pink dimity in a variety of patterns. They are simply made, a few wilh embroidered beading set in at neck, waist and sleeves, through which Is run narrow black velvet ribbon. Others are trimmed with nar row edges of white luce and a few tiny pearl buttons. One of the simplest and prettiest of cor set covers Is made In round baby shape. simply gathered at the waist and around the organization Is self-supporting, any deficit being made up by a bazar or enter tainment. In tha winter a reception Is given once a month, and muslcales or lec tures are frequently held. The club owes much of Its literary activity to the efforts of Mrs. Andrew D. White, wife of the for mer ambassador to Germany, who during her residence in Berlin was president of the organization. The present president Is Mrs, Charlemagne Tower, wife of the am bassador, nnd' the vice president Is Mrs. Frank II. Mason, wife of the United States consul general. The membership as a whole Is variable, but averages between 400 and BOO a year. The fees are 10 marks and 5 marks, the last for students. Classes In German and French, open to members, are 60 pfennigs a lesson. A charge of 50 rfennlgs for a guest to the reception Is made, this Idea having been borrowed from the practical German. Three years after the American Women's club was organized the Deutscher Frauen klub came Into existence, being founded by the wealthiest and most Influential women In Berlin. This is pre-eminently the smart club of Germany and counts among Its members and supporters one royal princess and two or three excellencies and ladles-ln-wnltlng at the German court. Marie von Ijuyden Is the president. Once a year this club opens Its doors to strangers, when a large reception Is given, to which members are permitted to Invite husbands or brothers or friends. This Is the only occasion upon which men aro al lowed to enter tho house. After this club was well established It was decided that Its fees were high for professional and self-supporting women, and a second club was organized. These two, the Deutscher Frauenklub and the Frauenklub von 19o0, which are In no way rivals, are situated next door to each other. The second club has a membership of l.ioo. Tho annual fee Is 6. marks, and the res taurant prices are correspondingly mod erate. The club offers business opportuni ties to Its members and organizes sales for their work. Thee president is Frauleln Ir. Tlbertlns, one of the best known of the women physicians in Berlin. The Hanover Woman's club, established In 1900, Is the youngest In Germany. It combines the characteristic features of the ten Berlin clubs, offering social entertain ment to the woman of leisure and assist ance to the professional woman. With these four the list of woman's clubs In Germany ts msde up. 1'nless one may Include the many working women's clubs In Dresilen and Berlin and the Young Women's Christian association, established In Berlin a year ago. The working' girls' clubs were established In Dresden In lt-Wl and later In Berlin these were so successful that the German Association for the Protection of Young Women took a hand in tho movement, with the result that such clubs have been formed in nearly every city throughout the sir; r.

Upon on one occasion the hand of a small boy wavered for an Instant over a plate of cakes before he took ono. "Thanks," he said, after his momentary hesitation. "I'm sure I can manage it If I stand up," Another boy, still smaller, who had stuffed systematically, at last turned to his mother and sighed. "Carry me home, mother, but, oh, don't bend me." The average boy In Yorkshire knows why alone. I am sorry to say; indeed, he usually cried himself to sleep. Mother had told him he would never be a brave man like father if ho did that.

That day ho had seen a poor little girl who was crying because her little baby brother had gone away, and was never coming back, never, not today, nor tomor row, nor even the day after. How awful that must be, thought Billle; so he gave her tils dear Tomlins. He did so hope she would tako good care of him, for Tomlins was dreadfully afraid of the dark, too.

He lay very still, and waited, but nothing came. He wondered; perhaps it had gone should he look? He might take a little peep unseen. At last he became brave enough to lift the covers ever so gvntly and carefully. Teeplng cautiously into tha room, he saw a light-not so blight as the sun, It Is true, but soft and beautiful. He became braver, and, opening tile crack wider, he saw tho light creep up to the bed. It wasn't fearful in the least. He couldn't see very much of it, so he opened the covers wider, and with a rush of frar les.sness he' flung them away. The light filled the room. Billle looked out of his window and up to the sky, and whst do you suppose he saw? The moon. This was the fairy who was trjtng to make friends with him. Billle was very happy. But how did the moon g''t there? It wasn't there when he got into bed-and all the little stars? They must be the children. Wliat funny pictures they made he could trace them with his Ar.aer. Some were such wee ones, too. Surely they were the bahlrs. And, oh! There was a very big star, brighter than any other. How beau tiful it was! He was sure It was looking straight at him, us much as to say, "is that little boy afraid of the night when we love the night time more than any other?" By the moonlight he could see in the tree outside tils window some little birds fast asleep. Then he saw two big eyes looking right at him, and, as they flew away, he knew it was that bird who likes to be abroad in the night. He wished he could have tngs and see the beautiful things tho night people saw. How pleased Tom llns would be! Very likely Tomllns saw the moon, too. He was so contented, so happy! No, he would never be frightened again. He laughed softly and he was sure the stars, especially the big one. were nodding to him, and the moon seemed to be taking him sail ing sailing and he was asleep. Kinder garten Review.
