For Morning Wear.
Java linen is used for morning
gowns, and pale blue is the favorite
shade. It is trimmed with white braid
pnd white pearl buttons. The skirt is
>wt in eleven gores, with a pleat at each
fceam and a tiny shallow rever to simulate
a hip yoke. Each rever, folded
back from the front breadth, is fastened
down by three small pearl buttons.
The blouse jacket has pleats
back and front, with small revers or
'"flaps" over the shoulders; these are
fastened down with buttons to match
those on the skirt for the depth of a
Ihoulder yoke. The buttons are arranged
in groups of three. A turnover,
triangular collar is embroidered in
I Jvhite braid. This opens siigntiy at
ibe throat to show the guimpe or
ihleld of Java blue linen with plain
Seckband. A breast eearf of blue mescaline
silk falls down in front like a
Jabot below the open guinipe. There is
k mnocolinft o-irrlln nt Ihf w.list which
I fastens with a silver buckle. The
full sleeves nre pleated at the armholes,
anil are vertically tucked In a
pronp of pleats at tbe lower edge. The
tucked pleats produce the exact offeet
of a straight cuff or narrow wristband,
some five inehcs deep. A strap of blue
linen, with a single pearl button, fastens
around the lower edge of sleeve.
The Latest Skirt*.
Trimmed skirts are the rule; the
plain skirt an exception. There are
flounced skirts, there are tucked skirts,
and there are pleated skirts, in all
possible and many impossible materials.
^Colored linens are very fashionable,
and are often made with sral
\
loped flounces embroidered in white.
But these linen gowns come in what
are known as dress patterns or robes,"1
and require very little making up,
while they are often to be bought dt
really.low prices. i
Veiling is extremely fashionable, cou
tlnues Harpers JBazar, ana wime me
very latest shades of color are expensive,
there are dozens of attractive colorings,.
and fashionable ones as well,
at very low prices. These ^>wns are
charming for street wear, and if light
enough in effect they are perfectly possible
for house and evening wear.
Lace is as fashionable as ever for trimming,
and there never were so many
good imitations to be bought, and at
such low prices.
The Black Poodle Handle.
The black poodle has appeared on
the handle of parasol sticks. He is
tnot very comfortable to carry, but so
stylish that no single complaint is
heard from the possessor. In dullfinished
black wood the poodle is a
great success. He is not so large as to
be grotesque, and his wooliness is reproduced
quite cleverly, as is his semishaven
aspect.
A black poodle handle is seen on one
of the emorald green satin sunshades.
He is also seen on a black parasol
which has a lining of self-color for twothirds
of the length, and a deep striped
border lining of heavily-barred black
and write.

season and is likely to retain all its
vogue for a long time to come, inasmuch
as it is eminently graceful and
becoming as well, as oonifortable. In
the case of the model each alternate
gore is different, the front, centre side
and back gores being plain, while the
intervening ones are made in two sections
each, the lower portions beire
box pleated. All materials suitable for
street wear and heavy enough to be
made in tailor style are appropriate,
linen, the more substantial veilings,
cheviot and all the familiar cloth, tafl'etas
and the like, but the original is
made of brown canvas veiling stitched
with corticelli silk and trimmed with
bands of silk headed by fancy braid.
The skirt is cut in nine gores. Those
at side front and side back are made
with plain upper and box pleated lower
portions and at the edge of each plain
gore is a narrow pleat which- conceals
the seam.

"REWARDS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS."

The Rev. Dr. N. MoGee Water* S?y? That j,
if You Would Attain Earthly I'rcsperlty j|
Christ Mui-t Be Your Teacher?The it
True Prescription For All Scholarship, t;
ii
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Dr. N. MtGee Wa- js
ters, pastor of the Tompkins Avenue Con- tl
gregational Church, took as his subject lc
Sunday morning, "Rewards of Righteousness."
His text was from Matthew vi: k
33; "Seek ye lirst the kingdom of God t)
arid His righteousness, and all these things o
sjjall be added unto you.-' Dr. Waters o
said in the course of his excellent sermon: a
Prom the beginning until now man's g
search has been for the golden age. Some- n
times he named it the Golden Fleece; a
sometimes Holy Grail. Plato prophesied u
it in a republic yet to be. Bunyan, after ri
a weary pilgrimage, found it beyond the S
Delectable Mountains. Bacon saw it in ti
Atlantis, rising out of the mid?it of an un- si
sailed sea. It is always afar off and in the h
future. Like the pot of gold at the foot v
of the rainbow., it is always over the next h
hill. n
Jesus also prophesied ?. golden age? a
called it "the Kingdom of God," and found |c
it in the present time. For a long tune "
men went hu. gry, and lo! there was al- w
ways plenty in the ground?when they ?
"scratched the earth ?ith a hoe it laughed 15
with a har\est." They prized diamonds,
and lo! they were always in the river beds "
for the finding. They shivered for warmth, v
and lo! coal was stored under the hills. a
Th'cy longed for some p'ack horse, and lo! c
giants were chained ;n every flowing riv- n
er. They were always f looking for the e
golden age. Jesus raid: "Look within?
the Kingdom of God is vitliin yon." *'
Men are always expecting the Kingdom v
of God to come through some device of a
their making. They cry, "'Let us have a ?.
better government and a better wage, and r
we will have the Kingdom of God; let us 11
toil and hoard a mountain of gold, and ^
"when our barns are filled we will have the
Kingdom of i^od. Let us search after "
knowledge. . nd when we are wise we will t]
have the Kingdom of God. Lot U6 trade
our strength for popularity and reputation, d
when with the laurel we have bound our a
brow we shall be blessed." ^
Jesus says just the opposite: "Sesk the J;
Kingdom of God and you will have no labor
problem, for you will have . n increased ^
wage; ceek the Kingdom of God, and you
will find wealth: seek the Kingdom of ^
God, and you will be enrolled among the *
children of immortality." Men say. "Let
us get rich ap'cHwe will be content." Je- ?
sus says, "Be*, content, and you will be
rich." Mc.. sRy, "Let us get wisdom, t\nd
we will be happy." Jesus says, "Be hap- a
an/1 vnn.-uritt )w TOitip "Mpn MV "Tt \VC ?.
can gain all these thing.0, like houses aud >
lands, Ave win be the children of the King
dom of God." Jesus say?, "EDter into the
Kingdom of God, and you wall have all j
these things." s
; When will we believe the teachings of e
Jesus? He was ahead of ]ms time. We s
are growing up to Him, to understand Him ri
better than early generations. Ever * say- h
ing of His we find true as law and fact, c
Take.that saying of Hip. "The meek shall o
inherit the earth." Jt was too hard for C
His age. But time, the great tester, pro- t
nounces it pure gold. The wise man every- J
where sees the exceeding reward of meek- t
ness. They get who forget. n
Jesus said to His disciples: "It is es- C
pedient for you that I go away." They s
could not; believe that then. But when a h
long time hath passed we know that really J
death is a benefit, and that great men are a
never so.,valuab'!e to their disciples as after <1
they have gone away from the earth. The ii
text, "Seek first the Kingdom of God," V
etc., is one of those sayings that we have a
to grow up to. Generally men have read t
it in some mystical way. They have re- a
f:arded it as time only in some peculiar re- a
igious sense. But it is a literal fact; it is t
truth; it is law of the universe. Virtue I'
ia the road to fame. Godliness is profit- a
able in this world. y
"And all these things shall be added." ,
What things? Christ has just named ,
them?food and clothes and the material ^
prizes for which men strive. Men are kewayed
by motives as trees are by the J1
winds. Tell me what you most love and I
will tell you what you.will be. You love
knowledge with a passion?the Greek did 'r
and he became a scholar; you love power?the
Roman did and Rome is yet Jaw r
giver for the nations; you love beauty? 0
jonn jveats am ana ne-Decame a poet, j'
Among the motives that sway men's daily
Jives, we may put firat these three?the
pursuit of wealth, the gaining of knowl- r
edge and the winning of fame. How can ,
these things best be won? According to i
Jesus, by a deep hearted search after the v
Kingdom of God. , *
Wealth?the laws of wealth are the laws |
of righteousness. Knowledge?the king- >.
dom of knowledge is the Kingdom of God. r
Fame?"the Lord knoweth the way of the "t
righteous, but the ways of the wicked
shall rot." '
Let us look at the world of wealth. The t
savage has no prosperity; it io only the t
civilized man who grows rich. What is y
wealth? Emerson tells us it begins "with r
a tight roof that keci)3 cut the rain and a j.
goou pump that yields sweet waters, and
horses, or a loeomotive to cross the land, j
and a boat to cross the sea." But whence j
come the rcof and the Tiump and the ship ^
and the locomotive? Man did not invent a
them; he cnlv discovered then. They are j,
the laws of God dressed up in clothes of j
Wood and steel and stone. The laws cf v
wealth sr? the laws of righteousness. Men f
go toward prosperity as they find the laws f
cf God. -y
Again, hew do wc get wealth? There 1
arc three possible ways. A man nay beg t
ii:, he may steal it, or a :ran may earn it. t
Hut neither pauner nor beggar increases 1
the wcalLli cf the community. Only by I
the laws ci industry and vision can wo in- <]
crease wealtn. But the laws of labor and I
vision are the laws cf the Kingdom of C*id. li
Barbarism he. been, with its poverty, de- 1
fned as "society without the command- a
mentr." Contrariwise, then, civilization, a
wi.h all its houses and lands and stocks r
and bonds, is ccciety with the command- r,
ncnta. Violation oi' tho Iaw3 of God in n
rvery age means bankruptcy. Obedience s
to the laws of Cod in every age makes for c
prosperity. Ifictcry writes down the tale j:
of empire?. When slio writes do'vn "Py- r
ramifls" nml "Pnrf-Vipnnn" .otifl "TTnncrinnr \
Gardens," *he expresses their desolation 1
by saying over their ruins, '"These people o
forgot Cod, ai d hence their waste places." a
She writes down "London," "Chamber of o
Commerce," "Shipyards," "Temple," "Li-"
brary." and expresses their glory by say- g
ing, "These have remembered Gcd--hence t
their prosperity." t
The liible pronounces "Anathema" v
against those who "make haste to get o
rich"?that is, they who, despising the laws g
rf God, take a short cut to prosperity, t
Their wealth i- poverty; their gain is loss, b
The mistress who holds back the just h
wage from tnc maid; the borrower who re- ii
fuses to return to the lender; the govern- ii
;..ent that debases its people with debased j
coin, may temporarily gain; but such
wealth destroys the possessor and is like p
the wrecker's handful of coin, gleaned from
the beach to which he has beguiled an
argosy; is like the camp follower's bundle
of ^ags i.tolrn from the breast of men
slain in battle; it like the coin of Judasonly
blood money paid to buy a potter's n
field wherein liberty and justice and pros- ii
perity shall al last be hurled -n the grave a
of dishonor. Way back in t!ie Old lesta- p
ment we have Moses saying: "Thou shall 'i
not have diverse measures in thy sane- tl
tuary." The words call up for us a scene tl
from that far off time. There are booths ai
with baskets of figs and grapes and golden
wheat and bottles of oil and 6ilks and k
cloths, and the merchant has two sets ot si
scales?oue scale, with a large pan, in k
which he buys the grapes from tiie hus- A

men in debased coin, and honesty and in- In
legrity and jnstiee are being exterminate V
fid, and there is growing up a people with ui
lying King and lying merchants and false r!
words. The old prophet rises in his anger ti
and says: "A false measure is an abum- of
ination unto the Lord." Any falsehood in fo
commerce at last poisons the very foun- sa
dation of civilization. The city and the ra
nation and the individual man who have
forgotten God and Hk laws do not stand st
cor a long time in the world of commerce, cc

In every age men believe that fame can
ie bought for a price, and so they tear
town their warehouses and build larger
!o they multiply their fleets until their
fhite sails cover every sea; so they get for
heniselves houses and lands and stocks

[rops down for a day or a week and then
he world goes on. You do not know the
lames of any rich men m Athens or Rome
r Thebes?or Babylon. You may know the
lame of some orator or some scholar who
iad wealth, but you do do not know the
lame of any man who had nothing but
wealth. There was a man who laid the
oundation of his fortune in the days of
he Stuarts. He was a powder manufac- J
urer. He drove his coach and four and
ived in a palace. He built silken nests
or his children. He had been an ardent
loyalist, but when the Revolution came,
ie said: "There is a tide in the affairs oi
aen, which, if taken in its flood, leads on
o fortune." And he cut off his powdered
urls and left off his jeweled sword. He
ven sang psalms. IJe turned Puritan. He I
urned his back on the cathedral and went
o worship in a Puritan conventicle. He
tad his reward. lie got the contract for i
naking powder for Cromwell's army and |
iccame a multi-millionaire. And when the j
estoration came he grew again his Van j
)yke beard, he again wore bis velvet doub- :
et. he acain went to church with prayei j
took and crucifix. He even stood uy ana i
pplauded when Cromwell's bones were |
lung up to dry on Tyburn Hi!]. He quick- |
y became a cavalier and he had his re- I
I'ard. For lo! Charles made him a Knight j
if ihe Garter and he still had the contract
or making powder for the English Army. I
Vhat was his name? You do not know. I
\Tobody knows. You cannot find it tfrit
en down in any book. But in that same I
ime there was a poor man who was a
Juritan under the first Stuarts, who?was a
'uritan secretary of commonwealth unler
Cromwell, and who was a Puritan j
ilind and poor, an exile threatened with
lis life under the returned Stuarts. He I
lad the pen of a ready writer and the Stu- j
rts offered him gold to make the worse
ppear the better fjide. He said: "Nay,
lay, I will live m'hunger and I will hear
uy children cry for bread, but I will not
ell my honor. 1 care not for parties. I
trive only for the truth of the Kingdom
if God." And everything he ever said in
irose or in poetry is still remembered. Hislame
was John Milton, and every school
loy knows it by heart. Seek first tke
kingdom of God and fame will find you
ut. Always the pathway to greatness is
long the line of loyalty to the Kingdom
S God.
Seek the Kingdom of God, that is the
reat thing. Any man who seeks wealth
or wealth's sake will always te poor,
hough he be clad in purple. Any man
.'ho seeks first and always the Kingdom
f God will be rich, whether he live in a
arret or a king's palace. It is the law of

great storm, diminishing in number
Dumorey's oak, in Dorsetshire, 200
years old, disappeared from this caus
in 1704. Wallace's" oak, at Ellerslu
1 was 700 years old when it was blow
i down some fifty years ago. We hav
still, however, the Cowthorpo oak, nea
Wetberby, in Yorkshire, estimated t
be over 1000 years old; and Williai
tbe Conqueror's oak, in Windsor Grea
Park, has attained the ripe age c
1200 years. Perhaps the finest oaks c
great antiquity in the land are to b
found in the dukeries. About half
mile from Welbcck abbey is Greenda]
oak, credited with 1500 summers, an
now a mere ruin sum rained by proper!

Some Bane Advice.
"Young men and women, read the
Bible as you would your Shakespeare,"
exclaimed Dr. Oliver J. Thatcher to
I his class of juniors of the University of
) Chicago a day or two ago. He exr
plained that he was not then speaking
from a relfeious standpoint, and that,
as he knew, it is a lementable fact
j that most students do not know anyj
thing about the history of the literature
of the Bible. "Tbey shun it and
j do not give it fair considerartion," he
added.
A Robin and ft Kat.
The other day wliile a gentleman of
* j Porthallow, St Keverne, was walking
past a farm in the neighborhood, he
was attracted by a robin. wL.ch flew
'y about him, flapped its wings in his face
tome two <ir three times and appeared
greatly excited and distressed. The
gentleman's curiosity being aroused, he
watched the robin for some tin!e. It
flew toward him and then back into
the hedge a short distance away,-uttering
apparently cries of distress all
| the time. The gentleman walked toi
ward the hedge where the bird seemed
j to wish him to come, and creeping
j up close he discovered a medium sized
'* ; rat, which had got into a robin's
1 I nest and was devouring one of the
9 ! little vounc birds. At the sight of the
gc-ntlemaii the rat jumped out and
* was knocked senseless on the road.
When the robin saw the rat lying on
the road she flew at it and pecked It
viciously. The rat was killed and
IT. thrown over the hedge into the field,
I I and as the gentleman walked away the
' robin seemed to chirp him her thanks.
8 There were four young birds in the
nest. One was killed, but the other

Miss M.tartledge gives some
helpful advice to young girls.
Her letter is but one of thousands
which prove that nothing <i
is so helpful to young girls who
are just arriving at the period of
womanhood as Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
" Dear Mrs. PrflXHAM:?I cannot
praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound too highly, for it
is the only medicine Yever tried which
cured me'. I suffered much from my
first menstrual period, I 1'elt so weak
and dizzy at times 1 could not pursue
my studies with the usual interest.
My thoughts became sluggish, 1 had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact, I was aick all over.
" Finally, alter many other remedies
had bean tried, we were advised to get
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, and I am pleased to say
that after taking it only two weeks, a
wonderful change for the better took
place, and in a short time I was i*
perfect health. I felt buoyant, full of
life, and found all work a pastime. I
am indeed glad to tell my experience
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, for it made a different
girl of me. Yours very truly,
