I In the illustration it is made of rriesj saline and the trimming is heavy lace while the yoke and under-sleeves are made of net. The lines are exceptionally becoming and graceful and the blouse is one of the prettiest possible yet absolutely simple. It Is closed invisibly at the back and it can be finished as illustrated or with a collar and without, the yoke, making it half low. Treated in this way it would be pretty with a little lace tucker at the neck edge. All materials that are thin enough to be tucken are appropriate and the model will find uses without number. The trimming of buttons is a fashionable and effective one and for the bands of the I neck and slflPVns miv Innn v? ...... <?.<; ??l CIIIIIHJ1IIery or fancy material will be appropriate, or they can be of plain material either braided or embroidered. The blouse is made with front and backs, which are tucked on indicated lines, the wide tucks over the shoulders being held in place by means of the trimming buttons. A shaped band finishes the neck edge and when the ' yoke is used it is joined to it. The sleeves are of moderate fullness, tucked to match the blouse, and the under sleeves are attached beneath the trimming bands.

One of the pretty striped linens is the material illustrated, but the skirt will be found appropriate for almost all seasonable ones, for the thinner vill..,, such as foulard and pongee, and many of the light weight washable materials are made in such style as well as the heavier linens, poplins and wool fabrics. It can lie finished as illustrated with a few buttons or the tunic portion could be irimmca wiui DaixniiR or with braid applied over a stamped design.

A Word About .Julia Ward Howe. lulia Ward Howe, author and reformer, was born May 27, 1810, in a naiKisome nome in uowimg ureen, i New York City. \t the time of her ' birth that part of the city was tlie most desirable residence quarter, being both aristocratic ami fashionable.. Her father, Samuel Ward, was a merchant and banker of New York. Four of her ancestors were Governors of Rhode Island, two of them being Wards and two Greens. On both paternal and maternal sides Mrs. Howe sprung from fine old blood. When in her Hfth year Julia Ward lost her mother, a beautiful and aecomrilishefl \vmii:iii .if t wnnt v.ol i?li t Six little ones?of whom Julia was the fourth ? were loft without a mother's love and care. Of her fa- j ther Mrs. Ward has this to say: "He was a majestic person, of somewhat severe aspect and reserved manners, but with " vein of true geniality and benevolence of heart. His groat gravity and tlio absence of a mother naturally subdued the tone of the household; and, though a greatly cherished set of children, we were not a merry one." Although as a child .Tulia Ward showed remarkable aptitude in her studies, being advanced to classes comorised of nlrlx Iwien Imp own n she was still ;i merry, playful child at heart, and when, on hor ninth birthday, her dolls were taken awnv from her and slie was told in a serious tone by her aunt that "Mies Ward was too old to play with dolls any longer," the separation from her playthings almost broke her heart, and many nights she wept herself to sleep on her pillow, mourning for hor pretty toys that had been so ruthless, j ly denied her. ller rather provided the finest1 tutors for his children, and the Ward homo became the centre of a distin- ' guished class of people, artists, writers and musicians gathering there at | regular intervals to enjoy the gra- j clous hospitality of their host and tliol society of his brilliant sons and ! daughters, of whom Julia was the i moat gifted.?Washington Slur. I Queen (joes Shopping. A few days after my arrival at Milan, while strolling one afternoon on the Galleria Vittorio Enianuele, that favorite Milanese and cosmopoli tan resort, I passed a glove shop, and remembered that I had left my gloves in the railway carriage. I thought) 1 might as well buy a new pair, and entered the shop. A customer had gone in before me, a lady, young, tall and slender, quietly hut elegantly dressed in a plain, dark traveling frock. Through the long, blue motor veil that closely shrouded her face I could dimly see her large, dark eyes and masses of black hair. The face appeared to be refined and pretty. She was leaning over the counter and trying on gloves which a young shop assistant handed to her. "They are too large," she said, shyly. "That is because the signora has so small a hand," replied the young assistant gallantly. She smiled and did not ansyer. An elderly lady who was with her gave the youth an indignant and scandalized glance. After patiently allowing the measure of her hand to be taken, open and closed?it was indeed a very small one?she found two pairs of gloves that suited her, paid for them and turned to go. Just then the owner of the shop returned. Ho looked at the lady, gave a bewildered start, and, as soon as she was gone, shouted to his assistant.: "Have you the least Idea whom you have been s mm;?" "A ver> ; retry woman?-I know that!" "Idiot! It was the Queen!" The Queen! It. was my turn to foci bewilder' I.
