w MS New York City.?The waist that gives a chemisette effect is always a charming and dainty one, and this a&ason there are being shown an exceptional number of variations. Illustrated is one of the prettiest and latest that is made of pale green pongee piped with black and trimmed with black buttons and combined with a chemisette of string colored lace over white chiffon. The color and the material are both em I inently smart and tee touch of black H gives a distinctive character to the H "whole, but a season as prolific as this a one allows of a great variety of fabI rics and colors. Again, the waist n will be found equally suited to the 9 separate one and to the gown so that II its usefulness is varied and its posI sibilities are many. Pongee in all its colors, plain and figured, is being I greatly worn, and there are innumer9 able thin summer silks that would I be charming so made as well as light 0 weight wools and the like, while 1 many of the so-called washable maI terials are in reality designed to be cleansed and also can be utilized for the design. The waist Is made with a fitted lining on which the front and back are arranged. There Is also a centre front portion that is cut in a point at Its upper edge and the chemisette, .which is arranged over the lining, thex closing being made invisibly at the left side. The trimming straps finish the waist and the shoulder edges, and there is a choice allowed r>f plhnw np full Ipncth rIppvps whilp I a full girdle completes the waist. The 3leeves, let it be added, make a | special feature and are singularly attractive. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and an eighth yards twenty-one, three and & quarter yards twenty-seven or two yards forty-four inches wide with one-half yard eighteen inches wide for the chemisette or one yard if long sleeves are used, three-quarter yard of silk for piping. As to the CoifTure. The Parisian coiffure is less high than it was last season, the hair being drawn loosely back and massed about where the traditional Greek fcnot is placed. There is, however, no semblance of the hard Psyche ,inot in the soft coils, and puffs and cuns 01 ine coinurs a la uiuue. i\uw ^York women In general are still Eiaring their hair very high, but the ench influence has been noticeable jong the most modish women of 'the opera crowd. ; \ Good Color Effects. Exceedingly good color effects a*e "ijobtained by using thin materials, puch as voiles, marquisettes, chiffon, mousseline de soie and tulle illusion, ^over harmonizing or contrasting colprs. -> |fgg?& IS&Sic?. .

Contrasting hems can be added easily to materials not supplied with borders, with excellent effect, and with possibilities of obtaining great results at little cost. Frocks of pretty, dainty cottons may have a distinguished air given to them if advantage is taken of the border fad. Bine and Pink. Combinations of pastel blue and the light pink that combines so daintily with it have been used in more than half of the bridesmaids' toilets seen lately, while for unlined wraps and toilets for older women black is the contrast best liked, the harshness being modified by the use of gold or silver soutache, white touches, fancy buttons, or bits of embroidery of Eastern origin or motif. Lncc and Ribbon Sleeve. There is a pretty sleeve, suggested by a picture of the Pompadour days, in which the sleeves of the longwaisted kind are formed, at the shoulder, of superposed frills of narrow lace; thus a glimpse of the arm is permitted, and then, at the elbow, comes a jarretiere of ribbon bows with a frill rising above them as well as one falling below?a pretty idea for a dinner gown, carried out, say, in nattier blue and pearl gray with Mechlin laces.?The Queen. Eton Jacket. The Eton is si.:h a pronounced favorite that fresh designs are constantly in demand. Here is one of the latest, simplest and prettiest that is charming for linen, pongee, for veiling, for taffeta, indeed, for all seasonable materials and which is just as desirable for the separate wraps as it is for the costume. As I I illustrated It is made of black taffeta trimmed with wide banding and with soutache braid and is designed for a general all-round wrap to be worn over any gown. It is trimmed to give the big armhole effect that makes such a feature of the season and has pretty sleeves that suggest the kimono idea, but that are in reality separate. Banding of any sort or trimming of either embroidery or soutache applied over some stamped design make the proper finish. The Eton is made with fronts and hnrlr and is fitted hv means of sinerle darts and is trimmed to give a dis tinctive and novel eff ect. The sleeves are in one piece each. The quantity of material required for the medium size is two and a quarter yards twenty-one, one and seven-eighth yards twenty-seven or one yard forty-four inches wide Tit.: seven and a half yards of wide braid J aDCJ Bouiauueat'curuiiig iu tuu ueDigw - -.v '. x '.

Y.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Weirfield street, on the theme "Covetousness," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Ex, 20:17, "Thou shalt not covet." He said: Timothy tells us that the Jove of money is a root of all kinds of evils. rnvpfnnflnpcc 1c nort nf thp Rnil in which the tree of evil is nourished and out of which It grows. The child of darkness and of the brood of greed, covetousness is a canker to the soul. Born of blackness, it makes dark the life that is under its control. Where greed is and covetousness abides are no more found peace, purity, contentment, quietude of life. Before its evil presence happiness is destroyed. Under its godless influence joy and peace are impossible. It will fill a quiet life with turmoil and discontent will rule. Covetousness is greed let loose. It Is selfishness compounded and the mainspring of energy in the grabber's life. Its fruit is sin and its consequences are appalling. Covetousness must not be confounded with honest desire to emulate good example. Covetousness and righteous discontent are not one. Covetousness and manly ambition are not similar. The man who lookB with greenish glinting eyes at his neighbor's well deserved reward is no brother to the soul who longs to follow in the path of those who have achieved success. However wrong envy may be adjudged to be, the man who wants to do and to become and to earn a higher place in life, is worthy of all praise. To look upon the wealth and power and eminence of others with the evil eye is wrong, but it is no less reprehensible than is that unmanly, self-stultifying lack of pure ambition and of noble aim which is characteristic of so many. Discontent with our lot in life may be a blessing or a bane. Dissatisfaction with self and with success attained is a motive to larger and continued effort. Satisfaction and stagnation are not far removed. Righteous discontent incites to progress. Unrighteous discontent makes the i soul sick. The history of the world js me recuru ui me uibwuicui? or godless?of individuals and nations. The unrighteousness discontent of a Bismarck?that is to say, the covetousness?gave to the world the scourge of the Franco-Prussian war as the price of Prussian predominance and of united Germany. Russia wishes Asia for a province all her own and our news is full of war. Napoleon is covetous of empire and Europe Is bloody as a shambles. The wretched thief is envious of money and your gold Is gone. The well dressed speculator on the street maddened with the lust for wealth plunders a host as hungry for shekels as himself. But opposite Napoleon stands discontented Washington fighting, for his country's weal. Kosciusko, Garibaldi, Wycklif, Huss and Luther, all rise up as discontented men. The exalted dissatisfaction of our forefathers finds expression in the country that we love so well. Covetousness is contrary to the law of God and the commands of Christ. t> 4 n /ant 4a a Virion fn ICU UO UlOWUbUlib 4U M humanity for without it men would never move ahead. But let us not digress too much. Covetousness is the subject of the tenth command for good and sufficient reasons. It is senseless; it brings distress; it is a curse. Covetousness is senseless, it is unwise. No man by taking thought can annex his neighbor's property to himself. The highroad to unhappiness is founded, as much as it is built upon anything, upon envy of the other fellow's fortune. Envy is silly for it makes us sick with jealousy and disappointment, the while it offers no relief. The fact that your neighbor is undeserving of his fortune or has no real appreciation of his benefits neither alters your position nor remoulds his state of mind. That other toiler's place will not be yours whether you are covetous or no. The other woman's clothes might not become your style at all, although they do look well on her. But grit and go may put you in a higher place and make you peer with him whom now you wish you were; and taste with sense and little cash * * t -1 may Keep you in Deconnug uiwluc?. Covetousness of the other person's clothes or place or wealth is senseless and it certainly is sin. Then, too, to covet is to undergo distress. Think of the heart aches and the head aches of those who forget their present blessings in jealous contemplation of the other people's joys. The pleasure of the hour lies unused. The opportunities for immediate happiness lie unnoticed. The joys of the fields and the skies and the hills and the vales all are forgetten. Life with its many unpriced happinesses is a thing uncared for and unknown. The soul, the heart, the mind, the every facul^x of being,- all are distressed and diseased with inordinate desire for the other man's possessions. Woe betide the man or the woman into whose heart the devil of envy enters. For to covet is to be aflame with sin. Covetousness is a curse. The courts are calendared with cases of unholy lust for land. Love lies slain in many a home because of marriu*ra tips nnrinne. The iails are full of men who coveted the property of the other man a little bit too much. The business world well knows the necessity of "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's man servant." Too often the surest way to down a rival has been to lure away some trusted employe who could draw away his old employer's trade. But in the ethics of many a business house this is sagacity aud not sin. The shop girl is greedy for the ribbons and the trinkets of the moneyed maid above her and she sells her body, while she damns her soul to gratify her whim. Covetousness is a curse. But while there is admonition and a lesson for those who are guilty of this Gtated sin there is also another lesson for our day which springs out of this command. The careless, ostentatious, ill-balanced display of wealth by those who possess it is a sin. The ownership of property beyond the average enjoins wise administration on the owner. The man at the top has a mighty regulative Influence upon the world of men beneath him. If men are covetous of A* - - ? ~?- 4 otner peopje s wcauu, mej ?ic o*/, many times, because plenty has flaunted itself so recklessly in the face of their great need. The girl fi-ncse life is wrecked may not be Ml v. ^ ~il *< ^ ^ %": V to blame. The useless, vulgar display of finery by women whom she never met may be the central reason for her downfall. The millionaire squanders his millions and the example is followed by the poorest of the poor. America is the land of those who live a life of "bluff" because our moneyed men have been extravagantly wasteful.

If a man is entitled to all that he can use righteously then some men ought to be deprived of nearly all they have. Those who have much should consider it a bounden duty not to gfte cause to those who are less fortunate than they to become covetous. The wasteful millionaire heads a list of thousands who are living far beyond their means. The list of suicides throughout our land is filled with names of men who, urged by unholy discontent, have risked and lost their all. But more than this covetousness is unnecessary. I for one believe tiat all men are entitled to fair hours, a fair wage, a decent home and a few of the luxuries of life. My heart goes out to the toiler who is . 1 ground and crushed in the whirling wheels of trade. My prayer is that he soon may have a chance to live a manly life. I take off my hat to his discontent, for God knows there is reason ior it. cut u> jeam iui befcer things and a decent chance In life is not to be covetous. Covetousness is unnecessary no matter how poor a man may be. The blue sky arches over rich and poor alike. The air cares not whose lungs it fills. The sun smiles down impartially upon us all. The love of God Is free. Wealth cannot buy the charm of studying humanity. Money cannot purchase love. Even a poor man may be upright, kind and true and pure. The humblest soul may do the noble act or speak the cheering word. God's Presence in All Events. The providence of God is a very comforting doctrine to the believer. He guides with His eye and holds in His hand the destinies of men and of nations; and His people have the comfortable assurance in the words of prophecy and in the examples of history that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in their behalf. His ?ye directs His hand and the arm of His power. He governs the world ii unerring wisdom and for the good of His people. Ho doeth all in pursuance of the counsels of His love concerning their salvation. Hence, they have all the reason in the world for trusting in Him and depending on Him, since wisdom and might are His. Therefore, instead of all this worry, this self-plannine: and self-seeking, why not let God into our plans and take counsel of Him? N He will keep and mould our lives. His providence will end to the perfecting of our being according to some one of His standards of infinite beauty, if only we do not, in our self-will, disturb the process. Every movement, every event, every trial He will work into the marvelous har' monv, so that by and by we may be gems of His crown of glory. If we, in our short-sightedness, cannot see the end from the beginning, what matters it so long rs He sees it? An affectionate, confiding faitli in God and His providence would save us half the annoyances of life that fret and worry us, for it would lift us up above the reach of ihem. The promise to all of them that put their trust in God It, "they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not, be weary; they shall walk and not faint."?Christian Intelligencer. God's Last Effort. I remember one of the poets hatn an Ingenious fancy to express the passion wherewith he found himself overcome after a long resistance; that "the god of love had shot all his golden arrows at him. but could never pierce his heart, till at length he put himself into the bow, and darted himself straight into his breast." Methinks this doth some way adumbrate God's method of dealing with men. He had long contended with a stubborn world, and thrown down many a blessing upon them, and wlien all His other gifts could not prevail, He at last made a gift of Himself to testify His affections and to engage theirs.?Scougal. Our Part and His. Providence hath a thousand keys to open a thousand doors for the deliverance of His own when it has come to the greatest extremity. Let us be faithful and care for our own part, which is to do and suffer for Him, and lay Christ's part on Himself, and leave it there; duties are ours, events are the Lord's. When our faith goeth to meddle with events and to hold a court (if I may so speak) upon God's providence, and beginneth to say, "How wilt Thou do this or that?" we lose ground?we have nothing to do there; it is our part to let the Almighty exercise His own office and steer His own helm.? Samuel Rutherford. Hand That Receives God's Gift. It is very plain that what is now most wanted in the Christian world is more faith. We too little respect faith, we dabble too much with reason; fabricating gospels where we 1.1. i-_ ? ?r-h-W OUgllL IU UB ICtCltlflfe VU1 191, I ing all faith, if we chance to allow | of faith, by the measures of previous I evidence, and cutting the wings of 1 faith when, laying hold of God, it conquers more and higher evidence. Be it unto you according to your faith, is the true principle, and by that the whole life state of the church on earth always has been, always will be graduated. "Increase our faith, then, Lord!" and be this our prayer.?Bushnell. Stab in the Dark. There is a great deal more of persecution still going on in the world than many people are aware. In every city there are works and shops wnere any one maiting a uetmeu piu- i fession of Christianity has to run the gauntlet of ridicule and annoyance, and there are homes, too, in which, under the safe cover of what ought to be tender relationships, the stabs of evasion and malignity are dealt in the dark.?James Stalker. Keep Hoping Always. We are saved by hope. Never man hoped too much. The plague is that we don't hope in God half enough. Hope never hurt any one?never yet interfered with duty; nay, it always strengthens to the performance of duty, gives courage, and clears the judgment. Ol. ram sajs we are saved by hope. Hope is the most rational thing in the universe?Georgo MacDonald. I . " / : , THE GREAT DESTROYER SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUl THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE. A Single Copy of a Daily Paper Contains Enough "Awful" Liquoi Traffic News to Furnish Texts For a Dozen Sermons. Taking up a daily newspaper, ] read that a young girl is brought be fore one of our courts, charged bj her mother with being guilty ol habitual intoxication. When askec her age she replied, " 'Most eigh teen." In another part of the same papei is an account of the death of a onc< noted minister of the Gospel, wht had to step down and out of the pul pit because of drink; was reclaimed through the efforts of some gooc woman, and for a few years did granc service in the cause of temperance; but fell again, and could no more b< persuaded to try again to live a sober orderly life, but died a poor, dis graced pauper. Still more bad news: A little boy twelve years old, was taken to th< station house in a beastly state o intoxication, the result of some otlie: boys buying whisky, by the pint. And, as a climax to the whole, ai account of two policemen being fount drunk while on duty by their superio: officers. After reading what I have brief!; related, I made up my m5nd that j sinele daily newspaper contains i sufficient amount of the "awful," a regards the liquor traffic, to give i speaker the matter for a lecturi every night in a week, or to write ai article for every week in a month. The deaths, accidents, misery, con tentions and poverty caused by th< drink traffic exceed those resultini from all other causes combined. How long is it going to last That's the question that ought to b settled soon, in order to save eigh teen-year-old girls from being sen into captivity by their mothers; t< save other preachers from becomini wrecks in spite of the fact that the: ought to know better; to save llttl boys from "rushing the growler" be fore they have entered their teens and to protect inoffensive citizen from the effects of clubs in the hand of drunken policemen. Men have spent their lives am their means in trying to change th' habits and ways of others. But stll the curse of appetite holds swa; among the people. The fathers an< mothers drink every day, and thei children (after their death) keep u] the old family habit. "Why do yoi swear?" was the question asked i boy; and the reported reply was, "T< keep my father's peculiar trait be fore the people." A generation o drunkards begets another like unti them, only worse. I once met a half-drunken, bolster ous young man crossing a bridge a Flushing, L. I. As he passed me hi said: "Say, boss, the old man am his boys are all on a glorious ol< spree." He looked as if he had beei struck by a hurricane. A few min utes after.the "old man" came along and with a laugh peculiar to th drunkard, asked me if I had seen hi darling son. As to his looks, he ap peared as if he had been suddenl; overtaken by a cyclone that had mad sad havoc with his clothes and whis kers. And the people laughed, as i it was very funny; but those of i thoughtful disposition must have fel that it was a shame that father am sons could have fallen so low. In some families the liquor curs has lasted long enough to put int> early graves the bulk of their mem bers. In others it has* taken ofE th pride of a mother's heart and th joy of the father; in others it ha brought tears of anguish on accoun of disgrace upon disgrace that ha been the result of debauch after de bauch.?George R.

One of the most pleasing of latter day developments looking to a solu tion of the saloon problem is the ne^ attitude of labor unions toward 11 At least a dozen orgai/izations. whicl have a membership of about 180,00C show a marked antagonism to th saloon. The secretary of .the Jour neymen Tailors, for example, say that all of its officers are decided! opposed to the use of intoxicatim liquors as a beverage, and that, al though .formerly very few tailor were sober enough to work until al ter the second or third day followin Sunday, now "you will scarcely fini a single member of the organizatio: that is an habitual drunkard."
