How to Do Sash Curtains.
All sjrts of inexpensive ny cf
Iri'.rnhic: ash cirta'r.s arc being re
ported to by plrls who want some
thing a little out o( the onllnnry, yet
who foci that the money they wnnt to
upend upon fixing up their rooms ran
bo spent more profitably upon other
things than curtains.
Cheesecloth Is even used for some
of the least expensive sash curla'ns,
and they are miide rather wider than
the usual curtain, so that there Is
more fullness on the rods, and fin
ished with narrow, full ruffles.
Scrim curtains, with a band of
drawn work Just Inside the hem, or a
baad of Hanlanger (and both are easy
to do on such a wiry, loose mesh
stuff) are rtunning, and cost almost
nothing but the work.
The dots In dotted SwLs may be
embroidered cither nil over or In a
border, or In motifs hero and there.
If you embroider them In color use
embroidery cotton in one of the "old"
fhades of blue, or green, or red. Or
Swiss Is rretty left untrlmmed.
Stenciling "trims" beautifully, and
Is comparatively easy to npply, and
heavy lace motifs, set In here and
there, require nothing more than n
plain hem to get them off, although
heavy lace edges to match are some
times ucd.
Of Embroidered Pongee.
Frock of embroidered pongee for
IltUe girl. Tho
gathered skirt Is
trimmed with a
festooned ruffle of
the material.
The blouse Is
plaited at the top
to a yoke, which
is cut in one piece
with the front, and
bordered with a
ruffle of tho pon
gee. The little rovers
and the cuffs are
of velvet, the for
mer ornamented
with embroidered motifs. The girdle
Is of silk or velvet, finished on oik
Bide in fruut with a knot and loiig
ends.
New Ideas In Blouses.
There Is promised a return of what
la neither more nor less than tho or
nate silk or velvet blouse which now
is worn under the name of a dinner
jacket, Pule, yellow velvet was the
material used In one of these waists
which was worn with tho white luce
skirt, which, by tho way, Is the skirt
de rlguer to bo worn with separate
waists.
Tho emerald green blouse In thick
satin Is another revival, and there
are also Been satin blouses In muny
shades of purple, dead brown, buff,
and the paler shades of yellow. Or
chid mauve and deep Ivory with white
still lead in popularity, although If
one possesses tho treasure of a lace
skirt the contrast of tho pompadour
colors Is especially attractive.
In the white waists liberty silk,
crepe de chine, and a thick white
surah are taking the lead, while In
cotton there Is revived as tho fancy
of the moment Boft, thick ribbed white
pique.
Lace Buttons.
Lace buttons those most satlsfac
tory little things for fastening blouses
and lingerie and baby things are at
most impossible to get, tho supply
never seeming to equal the demand.
Just now It is worse than ever.
It Is a peasant Industry the Irish
peasants most particularly and the
work is tedious and slow for the re
turn It brings. Once it was a flourish
ing business, family after family do
ing that work In tho long winter In
tervnls between the work of tho fields,
handing it down to tho next genera
tlon as a matter of course.
But there's not much money in it
and tho younger element of the pres
ent day ls looking for something that
means not only more money, lnit less
work, and that In n different way
anything that doesn't require- the pa
tient, unremitting, canful placing or
every 111 read.
As a result, It is dying out, mid un

Hand Embroidery.
A gray chiffon velvet showed a
panel effect In front of solid embroid
ered chrysanthemums worked In gray
silk. Tho effect of this design was
unusually handsome, ns no de'alls
were omitted. The girl who Is nt all
skillful with her needle can embroid
er her own gowns or blouses and trim
collars and cuffs with hand embroid
ery. French-ribbon embroidery is hav
ing a wide vogue for trimming In tills
way and for adorning dress accessor
Ian, such as collars, buffs and belts.
lloth wide and narrow French ribbon
can be obtained in a variety of deli
cate shades for this kind of work. The
patterns are usually stamped In a
floral design which lends Itself .most
gracefully to w-ork of this nature. For
Instance a little velvet collar and
cuffs on an Eton Jacket made of navy-
bluo chiffon velvet was embroidered
In wrenths of forget-me-nots, the pale
blue and green of the ribbon work
forming an effective contrast to the
dark background. Detachable collars
to harmonize with one's suit or cos
tume could be embroidered In both
the ribbon work and silk embroidery,
combination which is frequently
used with most effective results.

To Revive Roses.
Wilted roses, seemingly fit only for

of the roses lu n tumbler of water and
then place the tumbler and roses in a
vessel of su lib-lent size to allow the
entire boiuiuet to be covered. Cover
the vessel tightly and leave undis
turbed for twenty-four hours. By that
time the roses will be found all fresh
and Invigorated as If Just plucked
from the bushes, with every petal cov
ered with artificial dew. Wilted let
tuce may also be freshened and kept
in excellent condition for weeks if
treated in the same way.
Date Waffles.
Separate two eggs and beat the
yolks very light. Beat Into them half
a teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoon
ful 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. Bake in a waffle
iron, and as soon as each piece is done
spread it with softened butter mixed
with powdered sugar and the grated
peel of a lemon, or serve with maple
syrup. Harper's Bazar.

About Tea Gowna.
Buttons are used upon "the tea
gowns of the season but they are cov
ered buttons, the button molds being
covered with silk or with velvet. Thus
decorated, they make very pretty or
nnments. Often they are hand paint
ed or a bit of embroidery Is placed in
the middle of the button. By treating
the button in this manner, you get
an ornament. It trims the gown and
is both decorative and useful. The
cord and tassel trimming is very
much used these days and it Is quite
the thing to button your little tailor
made coat with a row of frogs.
Hint from France.
Crossing bands or folds whose ends
fasten to a high girdle are features of
many of the French blouses. Bands
of rather heavy lace, such as ciuny
and embroidered batiste set together
and running vertically, form some fine
blouses whose little transparent
gulmpes are, of course, of fine lace
and mousseline, and other blouses of
lace have large motifs of embroidered
batiste for trimmings.

' Pure Religion.
Pure religion and undented before Cod
and (he Father. James. II., 27.
Every right minded and sound
hearted man or woman believes in re
ligion. That is, that man has facul
ties fitting him for God, relations that
bind him to God, duties owing to God.
But what is pure religion? There are
so many counterfeits. "How shall I
tell the genuine article?" is what per
plexes many a person who would like
to be religious.
Some persons treat It as a matter
of shrewd calculation. They think that
it la prudent and safe to be religious.
It is a good prop for the state and
makes good citizens. It is a certi
ficate of character. Religious stand
ing In the community is looked upon
as a valuable asset, much the same as
a bank account. It may also be a pass
port into heaven. Hence, such per
sons are regular observers of church
services and perhaps large givers.
But this religion of Interest is a hol
low counterfeit, It reduces piety to
the level of mere business. It has the
"form of godliness, but denies the fer
vor thereof." And It does Irreparable
harm to pure religion. Many take
these formalities as true types of re
ligion and they think that all piety is
but hollow show, empty ceremony,
sounding brass and tinkling symbaL
There, again, Is the religion of law.
This regards God as a law giver who
must be feared and served. It thinks
of Him with trembling and awe.
Hence with It penance, rigor and self-
denial are the chief graces. It is a re
ligion of the conscience, and thorough
ly Blncere. But Its defect Is that It
only sees one side of God. It is nar
row, harsh and austere. It makes
religion a matter of gloom and robs it
of all sunshine. It tends, too, to self
righteousness. It manufactures Phar
isees. Its votaries become censors of
others. They judge all by their own
hard egotism, and whoever does not
square with their narrow, severe
standard they look disdainfully upon
as publicans and sinners.
The third type is the religion of love.
This does not, Indeed, forget that God
Is law and Justice, but it recognizes
that supremely "God is love." It looks
upon Him as a father, only desiring
the highest well being of His crea
tures. It worships Him, not with fear,
but with rejoicing. It serves Him,
not In the bondage of a slave, but
with the freedom of a aon. It is not
hampered by the chains of the letter,
but lives in the liberty of the spirit.
It ls the religion of the heart. It is the
religion of Joy. It is the ideal relig
ion of the soul. This ls the "pure re
ligion" of our text, "undefiled before
God and the Father."
And so we reach the last and fullest
outcome of real religion, as defined In
the latter clause of our text. Pure re
llgton is this, to visit the fatherless
and widows in their affliction. The re
liglon of faith and love, of freedom
and Joy, starts In the soul the streams
of charity and good-will. He who has
It wishes all the world to share In Its
blessed sunshine.
In one of Tlssot's masterpieces Jesus
Is portrayed as moving through a mul
tltude of sick, diseased and crippled
As He passes by tho pallid cheek
glows with health, the enfeebled limbs
grow elastic, and the whole sorrowing
scene Is changed Into beauty, Joy and
gladness. So the final test of pure re
ligion Is that It touches the bou! with
the spirit of kindliness and that ns Its
possessor moves through the world he
has a heart of sympathy, a word of
gentleness and a hand of help for
every struggling, brother. And thus
everywhere a trail of light and a song
of gratitude follow upon his gracious
steps. J. B, Remensnyder.
The Seed We Sow.
Who says he cannot do anything to
help God in bringing about His pur
pose among men? Who of all among
us but can do something? In some way
or other our lives are counting. Eith
or we are sowing thistle seed or the
seed of flowers and golden grain. That
Is Just as sure as that we live. We
cannot open our hand without some
thing dropping from it.
What are we sending out on the
wings of time seeds of thistles and
thorns, or seeds of roses and wheat?
It ls a question full of interest. Be
cause some time there will bo a gath
ering In of the harvest.
Suppose someone should. send us ou
to work through the bright days of
summer. When we receive our com

mission, we know that by and by we
will surely come back to tell him who
sent us what we have been doing and
to bring back something to show how
we have spent the hours. And when
the days have gone by and the harvest-home
Is sounded, we all come
trooping back. As we come Into the
presence of him who gave us our
trust, we place In his hands nothing
but a brown handful of weeds, from
which the ripe seeds have been drop
ping all the way, to grow more of the
useless plants.
But we might have brought back
sheaves of gold-ripe wheat. Many
have done that, and for them they all
have received the Master's "Well
done." Ah, that la the life worth liv
ing! It ia the true life.
"Abide In Me."
The word "abide" carries with It the
Ideas of residence and continuance.
As used by Christ, It signifies being
full of Him; having Him In the soul
constantly and wholly; a complete
Identification of one' self with Him.
It Is to think as He thought, feel as
He felt, will as He willed, choose as
He chose, view things as He viewed
them, and act as He acted. It ls to
pursue His ends, rely upon His grace,
accept His righteousness, depend upon
His strength and advance His glory.
There must be the exclusion of crea
ture-merit and ability, and the appre
ciation of Christ as the sole Lord of
one's faith, the supreme object of
meditations and affections, and the
chief ground of dependence. There
must be a coming out of self Into
Christ In such a way that there is a
oneness of mind, heart, interest, life
and effort.
This Chrlst-unlty must be progres
sive and continuous. Once formed, it
is perpetual.
The apostle John came Into this con
ception of the Christ unification, and
made much of it In his writings. In
speaking .of it, he says: "He that
keepeth the commandments of Jesus
Christ dwelleth In Him, and He in
him; by this we know that He abld
eth In us, by the Spirit which He
hath given us." According to this
representation, to have Christ abide
In us Is to be so possessed of His
Word and Spirit that one thinks with
Him, rejoices with Him, suffers with
Him and acts with Him. It Is tp have
Jesus as the basis of hope, the
source of life, the fountain of joy, the
Insplrer of actions and the soul ol
soul. It Is to have Christ walk and
dwell and work In one according to
His good pleasure. It Is to have "the
Indwelling divinity," and the Christian
HIa spiritual temple.
This Is the high privilege and hon
or of the humblest Christian. It is
the portion of every renewed and
sanctified believer. Happy ls he who
realises lta worth and uses It to hU
highest profit!
Into the 8unlight.
A tourist among the Alps tells o
climbing one of the mountains in
dense and dripping mist, until a
length he passed through the cloudi
and stood on a lofty peak In the cleai
sunlight. Beneath him lay the fo
like a wavelesa sea of white vapor,
and as he listened he could hear th
sounds of labor, the lowing of the
cattle, and the peals of the village
bells coming up from 'the vales below.
As be stood there, he saw a bird flj
up out of the mists, soar about for a
little while and then dart down again
and disappear. What those moment,
of sunshine were to the bird, comln$
up out of the cloud, the Sabbath, should
be to us. During week days we live
down In the low vales of life, amid
the mists. Life la not easy for us It
ls full of struggle, burden-bearing. Tht
Sabbath comes and we fly up out ol
the low climes of care, toll, and tears,
and spend one day In the pure, sweet
air of God's love and peace. There
we have new visions of beauty. W
pet near to the heart of Christ, lntc
the warmth of His love. We come lntc
the goodly fellowship of Christian peo
pie, and get fresh Inspiration from the
contact.
Cur Appointed Work.
Each has some appointed work to
perform, some little niche in tho spir
itual temple to occupy. Yours may
be no splendid services, no flaming or
brilliant actions to blaze and dazzle
in the eye of man. It may be the
quiet, unobtrusive Inner -work, the
secret prayer, the mortified sin, the
forgiven injury, the trifling act ot
Belf-sacrtfice for God's glory, and the
good of others, of which no eye but
the Eye which seeth In secret is cog
nizant. It matters not how small
Remember, with Him, motive digni
fies action. It ls not what we do, but
how we do It. He can be glorified in
little things as well as great things,
and by nothing more than the dully
walk, the dally life.
Origin of Famous Hymn.
Fanny Crosby's greatest hymn
"Safe In the Arms of Jesus," which
has a beautiful story connected with
its origin. In. the streets of New
York there was once a great rush of
panic-stricken pt-ople. In the crowd
was a mother with a little girl, who
was pushed and hustled. The child
was weak and delicate, and cried
out plteoubly. The mother stooped
down and caught the chllu to her
bosom. "Hush, my little one." she
whispered, "you are safe now in
mother's arms." Miss Crosby was told
of the Incident, and "Safe in the Arm
of Jesus" was tnu result.

Costly Colonial Experience.
No small part of the white man'
burden can be charged to his persis
tent attempts to deprive the African
black man of his land and liberty. The
latest statistics of the uprising In
Southwest Africa show that It haa
cost the German empire 1.9C7 lives, In
cluding 110 officers, and $1,000,000 Id
cash, while the money cost for the
coming war of the few thousand
troops in the revolted territory will
be at the rate of $0,000 per man. And
this tells only part of the story. The
struggle Is still going on ; while, worse
than all, the entire German scheme
of African colonization Is so hopeless
ly discredited that the dream of an
African empire will be realized only
by a future generation, if at all.
