n IMkR JvUA New York City.?Every variation of the shirred blouse is and will l?e in vogue. The one illustrated is made with a deep oarrow yoke atd with absolutely new sleeves. In the case of the model the material is corn yellow chiffon cloth, with a yoke of cream colored lace over chiffon and trimming of silk handing and little buttons., but every material that ean be shirred successfully is appropriate., and the list of such is a long one. Crepe de chine, louisine silks, Oyama crepe and a host of other things might be mentioned, while the chemisette always can be lace or in lingerie style as preferred. The waist is made with a fitted lining and consists of front and backs. The lining is faced to form the chemisette, and the waist itself is shirred ?n the shoulders and again on the centre front and at the waist line to form the girdle, the closing being aaade invisibly at the back. The wleeves extend a little below the elbows in conformity with the latest decree-of fashion and are shirred and finished with roll-over cuffs and frills ef lace. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four yards twenty-one, three.yards twenty-seven J cr one and three-quarter yards forty v fonr-'inches,wide, with three-eighth yard of all-over lace an<l one and ueven-eighth yards of binding. Vest and Gi Cinnamon brown seit -lack velvet for vest and girdle, . 1 gilt buttons in three sizes, are the materials from which a charming suit is developed. The nine-gored skirt is accompanied by a nobby little pony coat. The Sailor Serviceable. A trim round sailor with fluttering streamers is one of the jauntiest and most serviceable of hats that can be chosen fcr general wear for little fclk. Crossover Belts. Deep crossover belts of silk or moire ar? useful substitutes for the corselet of cloth which economical folk are severing from their early apring purchases in readiness for the first snap of autumn. These belts axe made, of course, on the bias, and at the point where the folds cross in Iront the belt is drawn down slightly and finished sometimes with ornamental buttons, sometimes with bows, or with a buckle. Buttonholed Scallops. Wido scallops buttonholed with contrasting 3ilk outline the shaped neck opening and the short sleeve caps of a school girl's frock. This is not an altogether new idea, but a very simple and pleasing means of aeuurauuu. Revival For Veils.

There is no dress that more perfectly raits the needs of the school girl than the one made with the Russian blouse. It is exceedingly stylish in effect, it is very generally becom- i icg. at the same time it allows perfectly free movements and is simple as ail girls' dresses should be. This one includes some novel features and is trimmed with banding at the edge of the front as well as on the sleeves. In this instance royal blue serge is trimmed with a pretty banding and collar and cuffs of white, but while blue is well liked it is not obligatory and other plain colors and checks will be greatly used throughout the ccnnng season. The suit consists of the skirt, the body iining and the blouse. The body Jiriing is smoothly fitted and the i straight skirt is gathered and joined thereto. The blouse is entirely separate and consists of fronts and back. 1 It is closed at the left side and is 1 finished with a hem on the lower edge, in which is inserted elastic that regulates the size. The sleeves are : moderately full and can be finished < either with turn-over cuffs or the bands.

HENDERSON. Subject: Christian Character. i Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Christian Character," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text I. Peter 2:9: "That ye may show forth the excellencies of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light." He said: Character is determined in the terms of an exerciscd moral and spiritual consciousness. Character at its highest is conformity to the best moral and spiritual consciousness that is within us. It is both the consummation and the limitation of the will of man. It is not only a matter of the outward life but it is also the indication and the manifestation of an inward grace. Character is the sum of any man's characteristics of soul and social life. Motive is, in the last analysis, more of account than- the outwardact. Feeling is a factor in the human I"- AAlintA/Y nit;. iiiieuuuus fiiusi uc v,vuuk,vu. Desires may draw down or up. But with all these in the tally, you are what you will to be. More than your will desires you will not become. Character is not only what you wish you were, nor what the world thinks you are, nor yet what you consider yourself to be; but what you are. It is neither your reputation nor your record, save as those two align to the measure of manhood according to the rule of God. Character is the mark of inner worthiness as well as the emblem of a good life before the open eyes of men. Character is not merely honesty, it is more. It is not only outward purity but also inward cleanliness of heart. It means not only to walk just within the statutes of the penal code, and just beyond the clanging iron of a prison door, but rather to love righteousness and to practice uprightness because they are right. Character is virtue, honor, integrity, godliness. It is deserved reputation and the glory of a wellspent life. It is a mark and the victory of moral worth. More to be desired is it than great riches and its ripe, rich, satisfying fruitage is peace ind quietude of heart. Christian character is conformity to the character of Christ. It is to jear the express image of the saving 3on of God in the inner man and through all the problems of the social life. As the Saviou.* bore the impress of the divine will of our common Father; as the faithful Friend Df men showed forth the mind and the manner of'our God, so must we is true men and women, disciples of 3ur Lord, be sealed with the evilences of divine guidance. The highest character of this life md for the world beyond is that which finds in Jesus Christ the ideal md harmonious working of the will 3f man with the divine. Character, is we Christians view it, is concerned not only with the Christian's conduct, not only with his doings in the field 5f'human action; but also with his trueness to his personality and to his God. Christian character includes, for it can never exclude, a due and a wining regaru ior uiciu ? ijujjs<iliuii? toward his Maker. It affirms the basic necessity for absolute and unswerving loyalty to self. It insists ind asserts that motive If more than manner, while demanding that -til social responsibilities be met squarely, aonorably, manfully and in tho fenr jf God. The character of Christ is positive. Christ is remarkable not for tho :hings that He refrained from doing jut rather is He ideal in the acts of nobleness, virtue, good-heartedness which He did. His was no puny >oul. Obeying the words that came )ut of Sinai's mighty glory, He went jeyond them. Keeping well within he requirements of Pharisaic Jegalsm, He pushed on and out and up, ibove and beyond and ahead of all he self-complacency and moral blindless of the ecclesiastics, and did .hings positive and powerful for men ind for God. Feeling within His jeart the call of immortal duty the Christ exemplified in His own life ;hose qualities of character which lave for all time secured Him in t-Ui iroud place as the ideal man and iroved to a multitude in this sad and jinniug world His Godhood and His jrace divine To you and to me the call comes lown the centuries bidding us "to show forth the excellencies of Kim who hath callcd us out of darkness nto His marvellous light." Having xccepted the Christ aud been sealed with His love, we must bear in our lives the express image?that is to >ay the 6ignet stamp, that is to say the character?of the Son of God. The character of Christ presents to us a doublestudy and preserves to us i two-fold duty and example. Within tVio oharnrtoripitic nttrihllf.PS fif'T Holiness and righteousness are .com-.prised all tho qualities tbat pertain to the Saviour in His social sphere. Holiness toward God, righteousness toward self and society, these two are ;he broad truths that come to us from the character of the Christ and which summon us to show forth His glory md His love. Spirituality and morality. A sanctified sense of oneness with the Father, a courageous de:ermination to stand square before society and upright at the bar of his 3wn conscience, these are the two 5reat lessons for us from the character of Christ, and the mighty truths svithin which all else in the world or auman conduct is embraced. To be holy is to be sanctified?that s to say pure. Not merely purity before men but a radical purity that really goes back to the root of things md that enables the man to be fit, V*r*r\ii rv>? fVio <rr?nnet nf finrl in .T^SllQ Dhrist, to stand before His Father ind His Maker and be glad. Purity is not merely a matter of soap and water but of inwj.rd wholesomeness. Ohrist cares not v hether your hands ire dirty with the molder's clay. He 2oes weep over a soiled and sullied soul. "What an antiseptic," says Lowell, "is a pure life." V/hat possibili:ies indeed for good and for uplift ind for God are ever within its power. But it must be healthfully, honoribly pure, with the richness of holiness all about it ere it can count for most and reap a heavy harvest unto Sod. Righteousness Is rectitude. That is to say, erectneas. Righteousness s uprightness. Uprightness is 5irai?ntness, iiiuihi iculiiuicauicoo. ? Righteousness means not only to pay pour debts promptly, to keep well within the limits of the law, not only :o respect the rights of others and ;he mandates of society through fear )f theconsequencesofsin.butratherto seek to do good because it ennobles, :o think of the needs of others because they are our brothers in Christ, \ - J " f ' " ' :;v; ';< >?% , ; Ve Righteounness is uprightness In the home, in the church, in businesq, in politics, secretly, socially, in sunshine and in shadows, everywhere and at all times. Righteousness is virtue. To be virtuous is to be a full fledged man. Virtue is vigorous with viriHty. Etymologically it is sprung from the : _ 1 - A "U;~ I~ I jujiia ui i->titju iiiauuuuu. >inuc iu ! goodness which has stood the strain, which has weathered the trials of [temptation, which has fought a manly fight, and won out. It is the glory of a good man's life. Virtue has grit. It is no weakness to be pure. True men do honor to a blarneness name and only a fool will laugh at nobleness of heart. Righteousness is justice. Legality and justice are not co-termlnous. Justice is the ideality of law. Justice i co-ordinates the right. The law j often hardly approximates it. Justice enquires not what are my rights but what are my duties. The just man sympathizes with the longings and the needs of men and sustains their aims. The "legal" man may oft forget that God exists and right should reign that law may be evaded., In the apocryphal "Wisdom of Solomon we find these words: "Honorable old age is not that which standeth in length of time, nor is its measure given by number of years, but nn/iorctiinrtirnr in ersv hairs unto men and an unspotted life is ripe old age." Virtue, justice, uprightness, these are the things that count for righteousness and the man of years is the man who is godly. Christian character is the need and it should be the hope of us all. To the men who arc Christ's is given the leadership of the world. Let the salt retain its savor and all the leaven its uplifting power. If we are Christ's let us show forth His holiness and righteousness. If we are to lead, let us he fit. It has heen well and truly said, that "immoral life in one leader of the people is more pernicious than a whole street full of impurities in the lower quarters of the community." Character counts. Christian character is the consummation of human power and of human beauty. To bear the impress of the character of Christ is to be worth while to men and to God. Holiness brings happiness. Righteousness is..roar,e_oJ!,. ac^ count than riches. Purity is peace! Virtue is vigor and strength and the mark of mora,!: decency: Justice is profitable ' and %* well-plftauing to God. Moral rectitude and a holy life are the riches of the soul laid up in the treasuries of heaven. Character is eood. Christian character is glor ious?. To "show forth the excellencies" of Jesus is the business of His church. The Soul's Growth. Temptations do not decrease, hut rather increase, with the growth of the soul. The little man fighting his little battles wishes that he were a great man so that the more easily he might overcome them; but when he becomes great himself he sees that storms circle the higher altitudes that make the petty battles of the lower level seem insignificant. Many seem to think that temptation lays its hands only upon our weak spots. But, think a minute. Here is a lawyer who^has little ability, seldom, wins a-case,', always gets on the oft side of a jury, and is notoriously incompetent to plot a case or plead it. Does that man know what it means to have a confessed criminal offer him a hundred thousand dollars to get him clear? Does he know what it is to have a princely fortune dangled before hiB face if, in legislative halls, he will stand on the wrong sido of the question for just one hour? He knows absolutely nothing about it. So it is in me unnsuaii jjic, wio stronger we grow to be, the stronger will he our temptations. The nearer we grow into the likeness of Christ, the fiercer will be the onslaughts of the enemy. We cannot escape life's battles by moving into a different or higher sphere. Each stage or sphere has its own temptations. As Jesps wa3 tempted, so . will be His disciples. But, as He was made perfect through sufferings," so bur trials,; which are but for the moment, will , work for .is a far more exceeding and..' eternal -weight of glory.?Ram's? Horn. Winnowed Wheat.

Weights Becomc Wings. "When the earnest desire of any person is to be of the greatest possible service, this service will not be considered a burden, for it is of love. A little girl was once carrying a big baby brother across the street. Some one said, "Isn't he a burden?" The little girl quickly replied, "No, he is my brother." So, whenever we are using time and energy for the brothers and sisters we love, the weight ceases to be a burden and becomes a source of joy.?Ram's Horn.

The Alaskan Indian is so unlike tne rea man 01 our great west tnat he is probably or a different racial stock. Many students of ethnology claim that these queer people of the North are of Asiatic origin from the fact that their skillful carvings and method of weaving indicate that at some time or other they must have been in contact with tho Japanese race?even the features of the Chilkat tribe bear a slight resemblance to those of tho little brown men of the Orient. The Indians are known under the general name of Thlinketa, and are divided into tribes called the Chilkats, Stickenes, Yakutats, Haidahs, Aleuts and Auks. There is nothing picturesque in either the dress or the make-up of the squaws. The former usually consists of a dirty calico or worsted dress, a greasy-looking shawl and a highly-colored handkerchief tied over the head. M&ny of them still cling to their moccasins. The laboret, or lip ornament, is fact disappearing, but there is one woman at "VVrangel who still wears it. She spears to.^be about, ninety years old, although the tourist is told that she in 1 1 0 Thia Vilriarmc* fonts is peculiar to the Alaskan Indians. An incision is made in the chin just below the lip, and a piece of green wood forced into the hole. The wood swells, and when the opening has healed, the laboret, tbe size of a spool of buttonhole twist, is inserted. It is usually made of abloni shell, but sometimes common glass. Its weight often pulls the lip down, disclosing ragged teeth. But the laboret was a mark of rank and wealth and was universally worn. Rings through the nose were also in fashion among both sexes, but this custom has entirely disappeared. Cheap American Jewelry has taken the place of these once prized ornaments, and fancy bracelets and rings "with colored glass setting adorn the arms and hands of the Bquaws. Another tribe, the Auks, paint theif faces with a peculiar kind of wood found in the mountains, and aftei satisfying a foolish desire to try the affect on my own face, I can testify that it will not readily wash off. Their manner is stolid, but the sight of a camera will nearly always cause a stampede to cover. They sit along the streets of the "white man's town," selling baskets, moccasins and trinkets. Babies are often on their laps, yet they rarely cry and do hot disturb their mothers as they offer Indian wares. The baskets on sale are unique, the main texture of them being spruce roots interwoven with blades of grass and colored with a vegetable dye prepared by an unknown process. Many days are often .consumed, in wearing a single one, as the worker cannot ev?n begin the basket until hundreds: + of slender threads of fibre have been' Secured. They are carefully wrapped to keep them from getting soiled, and the customer is requested not to handle them. Prices range from $1 to $25, according to the size and quality of the work. Attn baskets are more expensive, and bring from $25 to $150. This is due to the scarcity of weavers, which now number about thirty-five. The finest basket ever woven by this tribe was presented to Helen Gould as a tdken of their appreciation of her kindness several years ago, when they were on the verge of starvation. The soft coloring and delicate weaving of Attu baskets so attracted Mme.
