New York City.?Dresses for tne rite of confirmation and for tbe closing function of tbe school year require to be 6imp!e at tbe same time tbat they UU-nxjaaATius Urt HJiAi/iaiiv--., are smart and are preferably made of some transparent material. This one, designed by May Manton, includes the drop yoke and broad shoulders of the season, with the shirrings that are so exceedingly fashionable and is made of white organdy with ruches of tbe same and Valenciennes lace. When liked the neck can be left low and the sleeves in elbow length, so making the frock available for a variety of occasions. The ruchings .on waist and sleeves are specially worthy of note and give the suggestion of a bolero. which is both becoming ana in me height of style. The costume consists of the waist and the skirt. The waist is made over a fitted foundation, on which its various parts are arranged, the yoke, that is cut in one piece, and the sleeves and waist that are shirred on continuous lines. The sleeves are large and full at and above theVlbows. but form long A Late Design h fitted cuffs below which extend "well over the hands. The skirt i6 made of Tviar>r>? thp front core and the cir.

The quantity of material required for medium size is eight and three-fourth yards twenty-one inches wide, six and one-half yards twenty-seven inches wide, or four and one-eighth yards fori ty-four inches wide, with one yard of all-over lace, one-fourth yard of silk for belt and six and fifth-eighth yards of ruching. A Woman Wltli Gray Hair. A woman with gray hair looks her best in pale shades of grey, or in white. A frankly middle-aged iady caused a ripple of admiration in one of our hotels not long ago. She came In to dinner in a frock of the palest silver gray, very straight and simple, with some old lace and dull silver buckles. She was a pleasant-faced woman and held herself well, but lieij crowning glory was her head of beautiful gray hair, slightly waved and smootlilj shining. A woman whose hair has turned gray should not bemoan. or worse still, try to remedy it. but should make a feature of it?dress up to it, as it were. The Lnle*t Coiffure. The softly waved hair is drawn back loosely and twisted in a long con iroin the nape cf the neck to the very top of the heal, where it is arranged in two or three puffs, above the pompadour. In tie indentation made by the coil is placed a spray of small flowers and foliage, pinned closely to the head or a long narrow comb, exactly at right angles to the way back combs have been -worn fcr so long. A very smart woman was seen the other day with her masses of fair hair done in this new manner, and a half inch band of amber ran from the top of her pearl ollar to the ciown of her head. v1" o*?l Vntlnnulltl^rf. rljhe French -woman arranges Ler veil J; *T & '* .. i aiiQ allows it to fall in loose and grace- j ( fiii fold* nt tbe back.

The human body changes its tempertture very slightly under any condiions of heat or cold, but a Russian laturalist finds that the body temperaure of insects is practically that of the ltmosphere. It usually rises more slowly than the air, though more rapilly when the air is very moist. When he insect begins to move, the temperiture rises rapidly, and may reach ibout 38 degrees C. (302.2 F). Below? ).5 degrees C. insects remain motioness. and the wings are not moved tinil the temperature reaches about 12 legrees C. ? A GUIDE WHO IS BLIND. temavlcahle Accomplishment of the Old Bell-Rlnjfer'B Sightless Son. In his article on the French fishing Milage of Honfleur, in Harper's Magazine, Thomas A. Janvier tells of his risit to the old church cf St. Catherne's, where he was guided up the ickety ladders of the bell-tower by a jlind boy, the son of the bell-ringer: "The bell-ringer answered my knoch md led me up a short stairway to c square room in the heart of the build ing," he i says. "He was a man oi sixty, or thereabouts; but he gave tb( impression of being as old as his bell lower, so heavy were his movements ma so slow, i wanted to see tne um ber-work of the tower, and askedpvidently be was of too lumbering s make to go with me?if I might climt it alone. "It will be more commodious for Monsieur to be guided,' he an swered. 'My Jean here will have much pleasure in attending him.' Anc1 to this he added, quite simply anc naturally: 'Monsieur will observe thai my poor Jean is blind. But that need jccasion Monsieur no uneasiness Since the time when he was a little joy he has climbed the tower constantly. He goes up me ladders like i cat and he knows every turn of the ft-ay.' "What the bell-ringer told was the iteral truth. Without a sign of hesi. ation, the blind man led me at first up t spiral stairway; and then up steep iteps which turned and twisted hrougb the beam-work; and then up adders which still more sharply twistd in and out among the bells. Her j md there, at risky sbiftings, old liandlolds were placed?the wood black and >olished with the grip of countiess ong-dead hands. The blind man limbed more easily than I did; and vhen we were come at last to a little hamber above the bells he opened, vith a sure touch, four shuttered loopLOles and bade me look out from them, rbe views were very beautiful and ery interesting, he said; and added hat they were as clear before them as hough he could see them still. This vas not an exaggeration. As I looked n turn from each loophole be told me lie names of the buildings which I aw from it?and only went wrong on he side toward the railway station, vhere a new quarter has grown up in eeent times. Over that way, he said pologetically. Monsieu'r must excuse lim if he made mistakes?so many new mildings had been erected since he vent blind. There was so much pathos n it nil thnt T ivns dad when I had .atistied him by completing my round >f tbe loopholes and he closed them tnd led me down again by the twistng ladders among the bells."

A night or two ago, as I was on ray wa; i home from my work, writes the Rev | Thomas B. Gregory, I beheld a sight tha : I shall not soon forget, as fad, cruel an< I heartbreaking a sight as I was ever calle* i upon to witness. i The trolley car in which I was seatei ; stopped for a moment, and there stag ered in three young women, the youngest should say, being about fifteen, the eld ! est not over seventeen*. I | ^ The girla were exceptionally good look j ing, wrere well dressed and did not ap | pear to be "sinners above all men tha ( ; dwelt in Jerujalem." l i But how drunk they were! And wha I actions they cut up! Silly, shameless, dis . ' gusting? they forced every decent, self ' j respecting person in the car to ask thi 1 , question, "What are we coming to whei ! even young women, the wives and mother* r of the future, can act like this?" , | The girls were evidently getting homi ' i from a downtown "luncheon," at whicl \ they had allowed themselves to imbibi I | the stutf which stole away their Drains, de . j stroyed their sense of decency, and lef i them to stagger away as best they could. I The girls got off the car on Ninth ave t j nue, Brooklyn, and went reeling out int< i | the night, no one of us could tell where. , ! They were the daughters of some of thi ' : mothers around about the locality when " ! they left the car, and those mothers ( j watching for their girls, must have fel l i sorrowful indeed when they came in! I j The thought came to me as 1 watcne< j the young women staggering away to thei ' ! homes, "Are there, in those homes, moth I j ers who themselves are in the habit o I going to downtown 'luncheons' and indulg [ ! ing in strong drink?" ' j It occurred to me> that possibly eucl | might be the case, and that the girls ! > [ saw were simply following their mothers , examples. | If this is a fact, what can the mother say? Isot a word. Their mouths an f ; stopped; for should they accuse thei , | daughters of wrongdoing, they would bu | meet with the terrible reply: "We ma; ; be doing wrong; but who taught us to d< 1 it?" Possibly*, however, the mothers of th young women I saw in such bad shape 01 the Brooklyn trolley car do not themselve | drink. For all I know to the contrary 1 I they may be exceptionally fine women, si | far as their habits are concerned; but an ! other question comes up here: "Are the; | motherly mothers? Are they a9 carefu j of their daughters as they ought to be : or have they simply left thtem to grow u] 1 as they please, and to go to wreck an< ruin if they feel so inclined?" There is nothing in this world so beau tiful, so sacred, as motherhood, and th very heart of motherhood is love for .it child. And eo the question will force itsel i tjpon us, "Do the mothers of this day am I generation love their children as tenderl; and deeply as tney snouia: Have the home virtu<i in +he moden Ts-ife deteriorated, and has she got to th point where she cares less for the hono and peace of her home than 6he does fo money and excitement and the other su I prficial things? i There was a time when mothers looke* i after their daughters, and in every wa; j that was possible endeavored to shieli : them from the evil that lurked by the way but I know, and every observing persoi ! knows, that it is no uncommon sigh | these times to see young girls roamm; ; around at all hours of tae night, eithe ; alone or in the company of young mei j who, oftentimes, are of no credit to them It is a pity that such condition of ai ' fairs should exist, and the sooner it i I remedied the better it will be for th ! country.
