8oft and Fluffy Effects.
The fashionable neck ruches are too
oft and fluffy for description. It is no
exaggeration to say that It 1b beyond
the power of mere words to tell of the
beauty of these novelties. Suffice It
to say that the fabrics most In demand
re plain tulle, ring lot net, chiffon,
inallnes. and mousseline. Extremely
dainty effects are laid In countless
ruched folds, between which are
smuggled clusters of little pink rose
buds, blue forget me nots and cow
slips, while at the front there are long
streamers of hand-painted ribbons
ewarthed with lace. again, caught with
flowers and lovers' knots of silver and
Sold braid.
Scarfs of lace retalj their prestige,
but they can not get away from the
softening effect of chiffon and the
cloudy, diaphanous stuffs that are the
attraction of such trimming.'!. White
lace with black chiffon is a striking
combination, and the two form a
background for most artistic trim
mings of American beauty roses,
fushias, and other bright red blooms.
Handsome Theatre Waist.
Theatre waist of black taffeta made
with a group of plaits In front bor
dered with bands of black relvet and
frills of the tatfela.
The unlined yoke is of fine white
lace, bordered with a band of piak
velvet and a band of black velvet, the
latter knotted at the corners. The
berthas and epaulets are of white
guipure.
The puffed sleeves are finished Just
above the elbows with banc's of silk,
ornamented with knots of black vel
vet, and with lace ruffles.
The girdle Is of the silk, ornament
ed In front with a strap, and frills of
pink velvet
For the Afternoon.
A charming afternoon gown In
sapphire velvet has a skirt full over
the hips and in the back and stitched
bands of sapphire satin finish it at
the tfottom. The short puff sleeve
so much In vogue Is used here with
cuff finished with lace. A few ver
tical tucks above the cuff hold the
puff up. The bolero jacket Is finished
with wide silk braid and two braid
medallions on each side. A small
fluting of lace gives a soft finish to
It. A hat of soft sapphire felt with
ostrich plumes, a lace waist and er
mine muff complete the costume.
Smart Shirtwaist.
Cream-colored albatross developed
one smart shirtwaist, small buttons
providing the decoration. Tucks are
laid In front and back, and a novel
trimming band and shoulder strap
combined conceals the shoulder seam
and extends down the front.
The sleeve is of the very newest
shaping, being moderately full and
finished by a deep cuff.
Linen, madras, mohair, flannel and
cashmere are all suitable for the
mode. The medium size will require
2 yards of 44-inch material.
Date Pie.
Here Is a way of making date pie
Half pound dates: put them on to
soak In half a pint of sweet milk
est them on back of stove where they
will keep warm, but do not cook. Let
them stand about two hours, then
press them through a collnnrler Into
a rich pie crust. It will thicken like
custard when baked. When done
take from oven and frost with the
beaten whites of two egss. with two
tablespoons of powdered sugar. Set
In oven and brown.
Breast of Lamb, Polish Way.
Here is the Polish way of cooking a
breast of lamb. Have the bones re
moved, then roll In compact shape
and tie. Put a tablespoonful or more
of butter in a saucepan and when hot
cook the breast In it, turning until
brown on all sides. Add a glass of
water, a glass of white wine, a few
onions sliced, a clove of garlic and a
little minced parsley, together with
two cloves and salt and pepper to
season. Cook gently until the meat
Is tender, then take up on a hot
platter and place where it will keep
warm while the sauce is made ready.
Strain the liquor that the meat Is
cooked In, take off the fat and cook
down If necessary. Add a tablespoon
ful of hotter, blended with the same
amount 'at floor, and a Utile more
minced parsley. When cooked and
smooth, squeeze In the Juice of a lem
on or add n tablespoonful of vinegar.
pour over the meat and serve.
Flower Toques.
Nothing more effective has been
seen in the millinery world for some
time than the novel flower toques,
which are really a revival of tho floral
hats and bonnets worn a few years
ago. These toques consist merely of
a buckram shape covered entirely
with tiny flowers, set close together.
Violets, of course, are at the present
time the most fashionable flower for
this purpose. Perhaps the prettiest
and most simple model yet shown Is a
shape decorated in the aforemen
tioned manner, turned up slightly at
the left side, and finished off with a
large white osprey.
onrToir
Deep velvet bands border the skirts
of many smart evening gowns of this
material.
Wlcie pompadour ribbons are used
for flounces on some of the prettiest
petticoats.
Young girls are out in new frocks
that combine cloth skirts with plaited
velvet jackets.
The old polonaise is here with cre
dentials that admit it to the most ex
clusive circles.
A simple rosette or bow on the
corsage gives excuse for one more
handsome buckle.
White corduroy, worn with white
furs, is the most delightful choice for
a skating costun.e.
To Clean a Rain Coat.
Last year's rnln coat can be made
to do many more days of service dur
ing the rainy days by the following
treatment: First, dip the garment in
cold water, then with a scrubbing
brush and yellow soap proceed to
scrub It all over, having spread It on
a table. When the dirt is removed,
dip the coat in repeated water to get
rid of the suds, but do not wring it.
Hang up In the air or in an airy room,
but do not put near the fire. Paint or
grease spots must be removed by
spirits of turpentine, and common
soap will do the rest. The dirtiest
spots will necessarily need the most
scrubbing. Hot water should never
be used In cleaning a rain coat.
Novel and Attractive.
Almost any of the materials current
upon the list of things modish will
make up well after a charming de
sign. The original Is in a henrletta in
one of the flame-red shades, with
close, flat plaltlngs of Inuislne ribbon
to match, and a celnture of black
panne that makes a most ptquante
note of contrast. The gown Is really
fashioned in corsage and skirt, the
two Joined invisibly beneath the celn
ture and a fastening effected at the
left side beneath the flat application
of Richelieu plaltlngs. The plastron
front of the gown Is in white satin
and lace.
Delightful Morning Gown.
The design Is very simple in Its
construction, having narrow box plaits
stitched to yoke depth, the two near
est tho front being stitched the entire
length. A broad shaped collar com
pletes the neck with or without a
shield and may be adorned with lace
or braid to suit the weaver. A soft
sash girdles the waist, or It may be
omitted, and the fullness hang In
graceful folds to the floor. The pat
tern provides for full length or short
FRENCH WINTER COSTUMES.
The costume at the left Is a calling
or reception gown of very pale carrot
colored cloth. It is in princess style,
draped at the waist and trimmed in an
odd way with a sort of drapery and
motifs of the doth. This trimming
ornaments the bertha which borders
the yoke of heavy guipure, the latter
re-embroidered in delicate colors. The
sleeves, composed f puffs and ruffles,
sack length, aud the dressing sack if
very attruotlvn, made af:er this pat
tern. The gowi may be mnde as elab
orate or as pimple as desired, while
a fnlnty toue'i may be added In the
form of a narrow valenclonnes edg
ing the collar, sleeves and neck. A
soft, flannel, challls, cashmere, silk 01
lawn may fashion it. In the medium
size S yards of 3ti-lnch material are
needed.
Styles In Fur Coata.
I arge buttons, the handsomest nt
talnable, ndorh the fur coats, both
long and short, this so-ison, and they
are exceedingly decorative.
While the costlier furs are natural
ly mentioned first and command the
most attention, th'ire Is a generous
use of other furs for long and short
coats. Caracul, beaver, astrakhan
and squirrel are selected for cheaper
garments, the Siberian Bqulrrel for
the coat and the striped and plain
squirrel for linings.
Fur lined wraps are Immensely
popular, both for street and evening
wear, ermine being chosen for the
lining of some of the most elaborate
and exquisite opera cloaks.
Short Dancing Skirts.
Short skirts for evening wear are
still popular among very young wom
en. For dancing there Is no question
about their being' practical and decid
edly comfortable, nut a woman over
25 should not think of It.
Cream broadcloth braided In aou
tache braid of darker color.
Date Waffles.
Separate two eggs and beat the
yolks very light. Heat into them half
a teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoon
of sugar and one of butter, and rub all
to a cream. Add a cup of milk and
one and a half cups of flour sifted
with a teaspoonful of baking powder;
beat all till smooth, add a cupful of
chopped, floured dates, and, last, fold
in the egg whites. Hake In a waffle

is out. It is a little velvet stoH with
short broad ends. It Is worn Inside

The Universal Faith.
Thouirh he he not fnr from everv one
of us, for In him we live and move and
have our being. Acts xvll., Si-ss.
It takes a broad minded man of pro
found convictions to appreciate the
truth In another man's creed. Later
Interpreters hBve made Paul the cham
pion of bigotry; the truth Is he was so
much the apostle of liberality that he
gave his life as a witness to that
which men then called heterodoxy.
When he comes to Mars hill he talks
to the teachers there about the truth
and the good he finds in ihelr religion.
The fact that these "heathen," as his
people called them, were worshipers
of many gods is to him evidence of
the faith that underlies all forms of
religion, the faith In the divine. Men
may differ as to definitions of gods.
but everywhere there Is this sense of
the divine. It is better to have too
many gods than none nt all; better to
he a polytholst than one who thinks
only of a god who, fur off on his
throne, neither knows nor cares for
his people; better have scores or
statues than believe your God is yours
alone.
There are many things we can di
vine that wo cannot define. Yet men
have built their differences on their
definitions of the great spirit. Some
talk In terms of specifications so pre
cise that one must conclude they have
held the contracts for the manufacture
of their gods. No one can be absolute
ly sure his picture of the Unseen is
correct. Perhaps wo can now know
no more of the Father of Spirits than
the weeds of the wayside may know
humanity. The terms of tho lower
can never contain the truth of the
higher.
But how littla It matters what the
precise details of the picture may bo
so long as It grows better, fairer, and
more worthy of the worship and bet
ter fitted for tho inspiration or tho
race. Exact and clear cut lines belong
to childhood; larger knowledge and
growth make the lines less distinct,
but the plcturo not less real. You
think less of the details and more of
the image on the mind.
You can give the feet and Inches and
the angles of substantial things, but
in the spiritual world mathematics fall.
If any man gets any satisfaction out of
his exact delineation of his God let
him enjoy It for himself; but he must
not force that outline on another, say
ing: "Acknowledge this us tho true
and only representation of the deity;
believe this or he damned!"
Man's great need is not precise in
formation so much as It Is tho pres
ence of his Cod. To realize that this
being, whatever, however he mny be
and all language falls when we come
to that which Is without precedent or
parallel with nu Is not far off, that he
Is the most real, Intimate, unvarying
presence In life, that none nre nearer,
so that It may be truly said that In
him we live, and move and have our
being. This Is the essential thing.
Not a God we are going to see; but
a God who Is so close to us that we
do not and cannot live without him;
that Is the faith that men need. Not
some one lo he criticised, analyzed, or
feared, but the ever present friend,
the underlying strength, the unfailing
protection, tho unvarying Inspiration,
the great fact of spiritual life. How It
would simplify nil living ami all re
ligion If we but accepted that, the fart
of tho eternal and spiritual to nnd
about us all.
That would make all life divine, be
cause no life Is apart from the dlvi'ie.
That would make the secret of the
better life, the larger, freer communi
cation with the spirit so near to us all.
This makes prayer ns simple as
breathing, as natural as talking with
the friend by your side. This makes
worship but the outgoing of affection
and praise. No mntter where yon may
be or how directed It must reach him
who Is on every side.
Never mind about definitions of
God; cultivate the llfn that finds com
munion with the spiritual, the best,
tho most pure, anil elevating, nnd you
shall find your God In all. Henry F.
Cope in Chicago Tribune.
Keep Near to God.
Tho more earnestly and constantly
one prays, tho closer will be the ap
proach to God. Prayer Is not only
asking for blessings, it Is in itself a
blessing and a privilege, nnd when
one truly prays one Is aware of uplift,
of strength, of courage and of power.
Enter Into thy. closet, and shut thy
door, and pray to thy Father, and thy
Father, which seeth In secret, shall
reward thee openly.
After aspiration, what? Naturally In
sequence, endeavor. Doing the will
of God, doing it in little things, do
ing It wherever He has placed us
In tho shop. In the kitchen, on the
highway. Not always Is the service
oce we would choose, but If Cod
ZtVVV aVUM -A
chooso It for us, we are not reluctant;
we try to obey. Often the task Is set
for' ih In n lowly place, a place .of
great obscurity. No matter. If God
sent us down in the dark, His randla
will light our -very step. What does
It mean to you or tne that day by day
we find opportunities growing out of
the soil or humility like forget-me-nots
on the bank or the rippling stream,
If not that God Is assigning us the
dally work, and that in His view
every plnce Is honorable In which He
uses our hands. What cheer nnd
gladness we find In following the
Master, even when the clouds gather
thickly, and the cross weighs heav
ily. For, dear friends, when the cross
Is most a burden. It Is also most a
lever, lifting us skyward.
The temptation to seclude one's self
from the activities and contacts of tho
world, and to step aside and slay In
the cloister, has come to many a child
of God. nut, unless He Himself shuts
tho door and puts a hedge around
me, nearness to Him is not thus sure
ly found. Hather shall we win our
way to Him by placing ourselves at
His disposal, and discover new sur
prises of Ills love by living where wo
mny bring others to know the full
ness of the Lord's kindness. .Marga

Have Patience.
He patient with your friends. They
are neither omniscient nor omnipo
tent. They cannot see your heart,
and may misunderstand you. They
do not know what Is best for yon,
and may select what Is worst. Their
arms are short, ami (hey may not be
able to reach what you ask. What If
they also lack purity of purpose or
tenacity of affection; do not you nl
so lack these graces? Patience Is your
refuge. Endure, and in enduring con
quer them, nnd, If not them, then nt
least yourself. Above all. be patient
with your beloved. Love Is the best
thing on earth, but Is to he handled
tenderly, and impatience Is a nurse
that kills it. I!e pntlent with your
pains and cares. We know It Is ea.v
to say and hard to do. Hut, dear
friend, you must be patient. These
things nre killed by cmlming them,
and made strong to bite and sting by
feeding them with yuur frets anil
fears.

"The Christian Sabbath," said a
well-known statesman. "Is the anchor
of hope to a young man. If he ols

out on a successful career. Man needs
the rest and quiet, tlie time for medi
tation, which the Sabbath brings.
Aside from Its spiritual significance,
the day properly passed gives added
strength and mental force for the du
ties of the following week. This fact
ouuht to be made to iiiineiil to thn
young, for certainly each youth owes
ii. hi niiiiseii in nest conserve ills en
ergies. A stricter Sabbath observance,
means less of Intemperance, less of
uamhlinir. less of nrofniiltv. nnrer
morals, higher Meals of life, and a
more robust manhood.
Old Friends Always Best.
A man In a frock coat Is not the
same creature as one In his sack suit
that, has stood thn stress ami storm
of the workaday world. And Just so
with old friends. They urn always the
best, even though lliey didn't mako
the best appearance. They are the
ones who hnve gotten used to the
creases, wrinkles, sharp points, and
weak spots In our characters, ami llko
us. In spite of them, they are the ones
we can depend upon for a rainy day.
For no amount of rain ran hurt them.
They have been so well weathered
and seasoned. They can stand mm h
between us. heenii.se they know and
love us. while the new found friend,
no matter bow well he means, can't
lie expeeled lo stand the storm. He
Isn't prepared for It. and a bud blow
will usually put an cud to bis fiieuil
ship.
Seeking God's Will.
Hear, In the presence of God, to
know thyself. Then seek to know for
what God sent thee Into the world
how thou hast fiillillcil It; art thou
yet what God willed thee to be; what
yet lacketh unto tliee; what Is God's
will for thee now; what thing thou
mayest know do, by His grace to ol-
taln His favor, and appiovo thyself
unto Him. Say to Him, '"reach mo to
do Thy will, for Thou art my (Sod,"
pnd Ho will say unto thy soul, "Fear
not; I am thy s'llvation.'' He will set
thee in the way; He will bear Iheu
above things of sense ami praise of
man, and things which perish in thy
grasp, and give thee, if but ufar off
some glimpse of Ills own unfading,
tinselling, iinperlshing brightness and
bliss and love. E. H. Pusey.
V.'ait on the Lord.
It may be good for you to go hun
gry or barefoot; but It must be
utter death to lose faith In God. We
do not know why here and thero a
man may be left to din of hunger, but
I do believe that, they who wait on
tho I.ord shull not lack ar.y good.
What It may be good to deprive a
man of till he knows and acknowt.

better to give him, when ho has
