? ????? ?? How to Mannce Glrli. An English schoolteacher in a retent lecture on "Children's Witticisms" gave the following as a boy's actual composition on "Politeness:" "Some boys are rude over inoals. You should ' not keep on eating after you are tightening. You should be very polite to girls, because their hair is long and they are pretty. Even if a girl scratches your cheek or spits in your face, don't pinch her; don't tell her mother, but - Just hold her tight by the arms to show* hei you could wallop her if you'd mind."

The total number of these is 204. of which eighty-five are furnished by Asia, fifty-eight by Africa and thirty by Oceania. Among the tongues included in this list are many which are dccidedly unfamiliar to the "man in the street."

The design is suited to all silks and soft wools, but in the original is made of pastel blue peau de soie with bands of taffeta in the same shade, stitched with corticelli silk and shield and collar of tucked white mousseline. The lining is closely fitted and closes at the centre front. On it are arranged the various parts of the waist. The shield is attached to the right side and hooked over onto the left, but the deep fronts close separately at the left side. Deep pleats are laid at the shoulders that extend to the waistline where the extra fulness is arranged in gathers. To cut this blouse for a woman of medium size, three and seven-eighth yards of material twenty-one inches wide, three and one-half yards twentyseven inches wide or two yards fortyfour inches wide will be required, with one-half yard for shield and collar. Two Attractive Waists. No single article of dress is more fashionable than the odd waist of white. The smart May Manton model shown in the large drawing is made of taffeta, mousseline combined with cream lace, the edges of fronts, collar FANCY BLOUSE. and cuffs being stitched with many rows of eorticelli silk. Buttons of crystal are placed on the fronts in groups of three. The foundation lining is snugly fitted and closes at the centre front. The waist proper is plain at the back, snugly drawn down in gathers at the waist line, bui is elaborated at the front by a yoke of lace and full vest portion of silk that falls in soft folds and pouches slightly, but the main portions are smooth at the shoulders and full only at the waist line. The big square collar is attached to the back of the neck and the fronts, while a regulation stock is worn at the throat. The novel sleeves are in bishop style with deep cuffs pointed at the upper edge and are arranged over fitted linings.

Shirt waists with deep tucks stitched from shoulders to bust make a conspicuous feature of the season's style. The pretty model given in the large drawing is made of white silk chambray and is exceddingly dainty and charming.

Hope-Like Folds. All those who have been in mourning well know how hard it is to think up effective trimmings "out of whole cloth."' One woman has srotten around it in this wise. The dress is of soft, rich black goods, the bodice being tucked, save at the front, where a vest ( isf crepe, in panel effect, is introduced. This is criss-crossed with folds of the crvpe, the crepe weave giving a ropeV, like appearance. Five of these folds are down each side of the vest. This idea might be carried out entire, with fine results, the panel running down the front of the skirt and also heading the flounce. Folds of crepe are a most effective trimming, anyway Shoen of Satin. Satin shoes or slippers to match all gowns for dressy occasions are almost de rigeuer now, and another luxury are gloves of white glace kid, suede 'i.- oi-ino timt siro worn with ur lilt; ucmj omuo ? every sort of gown. They are seen so much one wonders how any colored gloves are sold in the high priced shops. One exception is made in the heavy black glace gloves with white seams and stitching that look very chic for a time, and as the seams are soiled look just like the old style funeral kids. A Novel Jewel. A Parisian jeweler has introduced a trinket which is considered most desirable by fair ladies. It consists of a single pearl or other gem, from which a tiny filigree ball is suspended. In this ball is a wee bit of sponge, which is always kept saturated with the favorite perfume of the wearer. This jewel is worn hanging by a fine gold chain, or with other trinkets, very likely on a bangle. An Appronch to the Picture Hat. As the season advances the shep herdess or Louis IV. sliapes, with tne invariable down-curve in the back and low, broad effect, will be prominent. This will lie the only approach to a picture hat that the season will produce. Old-Fashioued Lare Scarfs. Old-fashioned Spanish lace scarfs are used for muffs, made up with chiffon, which, wadded, of course, forms the foundation, and the frills as well. The scarf twists around the centre and ties in a knot and ends, with a bunch of flowers or a handsome buckle. The Ribbon Finish. No dainty piece of lingerie is complete these days without its ribbon finish at neck and sleeves and here and there for trimming, whether in rosettes or rows of ribbon-rim beading. This season will be no exception. A New Lace. In lace trimmings a new square ' *y j?

Mohair underskirts, both in black and colors, are more in evidence than ever for everyday wear for spring. As the warmer weather advances pongee and foulard will be largely favored. Popular Embroidery. In embroidery for undergarments blendstitching will be among the newest and most popular effects. An Ideal Underskirt.

French aprons, as well as French frocks, have a peculiar smartness of their own and are very generally becoming to small folk. The dainty little apron shown includes the long waist and other essential features, and is suited to all the long list of white and colored apron materials, but as here shown is of white dimity, with edging and insertion of needlework. The waist is gathered at both upper and lower edges, the fitting being ac complished by means of shoulder and under-ann seams. The full skirt Is also gathered, and 1b seamed to its lower edge. The neck edge is finished with a bertha collar that flares apart in points at both front and back, and the apron closes by means of buttons and buttonholes at the centre back.

I ci speak not of such nights as come down ir with no star pouring light from above or ii silvered wave tossing up light from be- o neath?murky, hurtling, portentious, but c< sugh as you often see when the pomp and magnificence of heaven turn out on night b rmrnrfp and it rppttir as thouch the eoncr *.< which the morning 6tars began so long ago were chiming yet among the constellations b and t&e sons of God were shouting for joy. h Such '.ights the sailor blesses from the fore- n castle, and the trapper on vast prairie, and c the belated traveler by the roadside, and j| the soldier from the tent, earthly hosts a gazing upon heavenly and snepherds guard- ]] ing their flocks afield, while angel hands d above them set the silver bells a-ringing, q "Glory to God in the highest and on earth jj peace; good will toward men." jj What a solemn and glorious thing is night in the wilderness! Night among the 0i mountains! 'Night on^ the ocean! Fra- ^ grant night *mong tropical groves! Flash- a; ing night amid arctic severities! Calm ]j night on Roman campaena! Awful night ^ among the cordilleras! Glorious night mid ^ eea after a tempest! Thank God for the t] night!

" Jtty texc may wen suggest tnai, as me ? natural evening is often luminous, so it j|, shall be light in the evening of our sorrows, of old age, of the world's history, of the ^ Christian life. "At eventime it shall be r< light." J This prophecy will be fulfilled in the it evening of Christian sorrow. For a long h time it is broad daylight. The sun ridea si high. Innumerable activities go ahead with b a thousand feet and work with a thousand T a~ms, and the pickax struck a mine, and e] the battery made a discovery, and the in- jc vestment yielded its twenty per cent., and li the book came to its twentieth edition, and the farm quadrupled in value, and sudden t] fortune hoisted to high position, and chil- u dren were praised, and friends without ^ number swarmed into the family hive, and a prosperity sang in the music and stepped in the uance and glowed in the wine and ate at the banquet, and all the gods of mu- g sic and ease and gratification gathered y around this Jupiter holding in his hands j 60 many thunderbolts of power. But every sun must set, and the brightest day must have its twilight. Suddenly the sky was Ij overcast. The fountain dried up. The song hushed. The wolf broke into the fam- ?j ily fold and carried off the best lamb. A ij deep howl of woe came crashing down , through the joyous symphonies. At one rough twang of the hand of disaster the harpstrings all broke. Down went the strong business firm! Away went long es- ? tablished credit! Up flew a flock of calum- . j niea! The new book would not sell! A J patent could not be secured for the inven- ? tion! Stocks sank like lead! The insurance ? company exploded! "How much," says =' the Sheriff, "will you bid for this piano? How much for this library? How much for this family picture? How much? Will si you iet it go at lees than half price? Going ^ ?going?gone!" e; Will the grace of God hold one up in si 6uch circumstances? What has become of G the great multitude of God's children who ^ have been pounded of the flail and crushed ? under the wheel and trampled under the hoof? Did they lie down in the dust, weep- d ing, wailing and gnashing their teeth? Did ? they when they were afflicted like Job d curse God and want to die? When the rod tl of fatherly chastisement struck them, did ei they strike back? Because they found one fi bitter cup on the table of God's supply, " did they upset the whole table? Did they v kneel down at their empty money vault and say, "All my treasures arc gone?" ai Did they stand by the grave of their dead, a saying, "There never will be a resurrec- n tion?" ia Did they bemoan their thwarted plans d and 6ay, "The stocks are down; would God n I were dead?" Did the night of their dis- o; aster come upon them moonless, starless, t< dank and howling, smothering and choking C their life out? No, no! At eventide it di was light. The swift promises overtook tl them. The eternal constellations, from ir their circuit about God's throne, poured fi down an infinite lustre. Under their shining the billows of trouble took on crests n: and plumes of gold and jasper and ame- n thyst and flame. All the trees of life G rustled in the midsummer of God's love, p The night blooming assurances of Christ's t> sympathy filled all the atmosphere witn n heaven. d: The soul at every step seemed to start up from its feet bright winged joy3, warb- u ling heavenward. "It is good that I have ? been afflicted!" cried David. "The Lord tl gave, and the Lord hath taken away!" h exclaims Job. "Sorrowful, yet always re- K joicing," says St. Paul. "And God shall ci wipe away all tears from their eyes!" ex- cz claims John in apocalyptic vision. At 0] eventime it was light. Light from the cross! Light from the promises! Light tl from the tnrone! Streaming, joyous, out- c] gushing, everlasting light! hi Again, the text shall find fulfillment in nj the time of old age. It is a grand thing to hi be young, to have the sight clear and the tl hearing acute and the step elastic and all our pulses marching on to the drumming of t? a stout heart. Midlife and old age will be 0] denied many of us, but youth?we all know te %vhat that is. Those wrinkles were not al* tl ways on your brow: that snow was not always on your heaa: that brawny muscle did not always bunch your arm; you have rc not always worn spectacles. Grave and e2 dignified as you now are. you once went 6a coasting down the hillside or threw off j< your hat for the race or sent the ball flying sky high. But youth will not always . last. It stays only long enough to give us , exuberant spirits and broad shoulders for J), burden carrying and an arm with which to ; battle our way through difficulties. Life's P' path, if you follow it long enough, will come under frowning crag and cross trem- ? bling causeway. Blessed old age, if you ft let it come naturally! You cannot hide it. ? You may try to cover the wrinkles, but you cannot cover the wrinkles. If the time has come for you to be old, be not ashamed ? to be old. The grandest things in all the universe are oM?old mountains, old riv- ' ers, old seas, old stars and an old eternity, 'j Then do not be ashamed to be old unless you are older than the mountains and older than the stars. How men and women will lie! They say S say they are forty, but they are sixty. ./ They say they are twenty, but they are thirty. They say they are sixty, but they are eighty.

At eventide it was light! P'1 See that you do honor to the aged. A ttl philosopher stood at the corner of the JD street day after day, saying to the passers- ,J by: "You will be an old man; you will be an old man. You will be an old woman; you will be an old woman." People *r< thought that he was crazy. I do not think that he was. e? Smooth the way for that mother's feet; V1: they have not many more steps to take. Steady those tottering limbs, they will soon ng be at rest. Plow not up that face with any more wrinkles; trouble and care have "I marked it full enough. Thrust no thorn nil into that old heart; it will soon csase to co beat. "The eye that mocketh its father of and refuseth to obey its mother the x-avens crj of the valley shall pick it out, and the youna eajtles shall eat it." The bright morning and hot noonday of fe have passed with many. It is 4 o'clock, o'clock, 6 o'clock! The shadows fall longr and thicker and faster. Seven o'clock, o'clock! The sun has dipped below the orizon; the warmth has gone out of the ir. Nine o'clock, 10 o'clock! The heavy ?ws are falling; the activities of life's day re all hushed; it is time to go to bed. Seven o'clock, 12 o'clock! The patriarch eeps tne Djessea sieep, ice cooi sieep, ine >ng sleep. Heaven's messengers of light avc kinaled bonfires of victop' all over the eavens. At eventime it i3 light. Light. Again, my text shall find fulfillment in le latter day of the church. Only a few lissionaries, a few churches, a few good ten, compared with the institutions lep3us and putrified. It is early yet in the istory of everything good. Civilization and hristianity are just getting out of the radle. The light of martyr stakes, flashlg up and down the sky, is but the flamlg of the morning, but when the evening f the world shall come, gloiy to God's jnquering truth, it shall be light. War's sword clanging back in the scabard; intemperance buried under ten thouind broken decanters: the world's impur ;y turning its brow heavenward for the enediction, "Blessed are the pure in eart," the last vestige of selfishness sub- , lerged in heaven descending charities and , hina worshiping Dr. Abeel's Saviour; all adia believing in Henry Martyn's Bible; boriginal superstition acknowledging 1 avid Brainerd's piety; human bondage 1 elivered through Thomas Clarkson's hristianity; vagrancy coming back from ;s pollution at the call of Elizabeth Fry's ' Ledeemer; the mountains coming down: ic valleys going up; "holiness" inscribed n horse's bell and silkworm's thread, and rown thrasher's wing, and shell's tinge nd manufacturer's shuttle, and chemist's iboratorv, and king's sceptre, and naon's Magna Charta. Not a hospital, for here ere no wounds; not an asylum, for here are no orphans; not a prison, for here are no criminals; not an almshouse, )r there are no paupers; not a tear, fot lere are no sorrows. You have watched the calmness and the lory of the evening hour. The laborers ave come from the field; the heavens are lowing with an indescribable effulgenoe, 3 though the sun in departing had forgot;n to shut the gate after it. All the eauty of cloud and leaf swims in the lake, 'or a star in the sky, a star in the water; eaven above and heaven beneath. Not a >af rustling or a bee humming or a grassopper chirping. Silence in the meadow. ilence among the hills. Thus bright and eautiful shall be the evening of the world, he heats of earthly conflict are cool; the lory of heaven fills all the scene with love, >y and peace. At eventide it is light? gbt! Finally, my text shall find fulfillment at be end of the Christian's life. You know ow 6nort a winter's day is and how little ork you can do. Now, my friends, life ie short winter's day.
