is Always
the
Fobvenlrs of more or less value are
always given to bridesmaids ami ush
pra by the bride and bridegroom at
whose wedding they assist. The maid
of honor and best man are supposed
to hate something different and slight
ly more tostly titan the others, for it
is taken for granted that the two se
lected for the#* post* of honor by the
principals are their closest friends and
should receive greater notice.
The bridesmaid's maid of honor's
gifts are always from the bride, while
the bridegroom provides those for the
ushers and best man. There 1» no
exception to this The bridegroom does
nothing for the bridesmaids, miles* he
sends their bouquets, but this is by no
means always done. The bride’s flow
ers are always from him, but those car
ried by her attendants may be from
herself. This is a matter settled be
tween the two principals, but the bride
does not give the ushers their button -
holes. These are from the bridegroom,
Huch gifts as are*presented are regu
lated entirely by the Income of those
who give them. When the bride i*,
wealthy, she ma> select some small
jewel such as a tiny pendant, or a
bracelet, or the like. For sentiment s
sake. something imperishable should be
chosen. When her income is not large
any trifle in silver suits admirably, or
sometimes a bride gives her attend
ants their hats, which. it is taken for
granted, are “picture' creations. It is
good form for her to give them their
gloves, If she wishes, hut most girls
would rather select something that her
friends can Always keep, and. when
possible, can wear. The. same is given
to all, except the maid of honor, who
is further distinguished by having
something different and a trirtt- more
costly.
A man s gift to his ushers is usually
a stickpin, « tiff links, or even a set of
Muds. So wide is the variety in this
that they are readily chosen with re
gard to his income. Me also gives his
ushers their gloves. The best man.
like the maid of honor, has something
different.
When the gifts are such as can be
marked, they may have the last initials
of the bride and bridegroom Intertwin
ed in cypher. If her name is Lucy
Howe and his John Fox, the letters H.
and V. are those used The date may
be put beneath. The presents are
given the day before the wedding.

Follow ing a Sunday spent at the
house of friends a 'bread and butter

Detail of Pretty Lingerie Frock is Interesting
Noticeable Feature is Deep Flounce’Reaching to Knees—Effective Make-Believe in Millinery

Girl— Dainty Long Coat for Infant—Bracelet Over Gloves Bad Form.
i *n«> is always looking for new Ideas
in making up lingerie frocks, so a de
tail of a very pretty dress may be
Interesting The noticeable feature
was the flounce. It was deep, reach
ing to the knees. The lower edge was
! finished with a half-tneh hem and a ;
group of tucks the same depth. Above j
this was h row of Val. Insertion, and i
then another group of tucks one-quar
ter Inch wide. Insertion again and a
third group of pin tucks. The upper
edge was gathered. The waist and !
sleeves carried out the tucking idea,
but the flounce was certainly very
pretty.
1 saw a very pretty frock in shirred !
princess effect recently that any girl |
who can saw could make for herself, j
: The material was navy blue and white !
I dotted voile combined with plain blue. ]
! The former was shirred on groups of
; thick cords to form a bolero effect, !
and again at the waist line and at
knee depth. Then the dress was slash- j
ed from bust to hem to display a panel j
j of the plain blue. A band of blue |
finished the top of the gown, and
the row down the sleeves, the re
maining portions being of the check
running around the arms.
One of the most effective make-be
lieves or cover-alls in millinery that I ]
; have seen this season was brought j
about by the use of white net veiling
i dotted with black chenille an Inch or I
more apart. The hat was of white j
i chip and the trimming had been w hlte '
I mull, and one might easily have be
lieved that It was still Immaculate mf* I
ter a square of the net had been ptac- i
ed over the entire hat and caught !
1 under the brim. The veil was of the ]
same net. and the effect was not only i
dainty but striking.
There is no smarter wrap for young
er women’s wear at seaside, lake or 1
mountain than the reefer coat made
from a light weight woollen checked
material. Now that the one piece
dresses are so much worn the short,
loosely fitting little reefers are Just :
the thing for warmth. A blonde wear
ing a reefer In a pale blue and white
check trimmed with white pique collar i
and cuffs and gilt buttons over her i
frock of white pique looked charm-|
ling, and X have In mind a handtom* i
* "
brunette in a pretty Kray linen frock
with a reefer of w hite and Kray check
ed Roods, the trimmings white suede
and gilt buttons.
Elderly women who perfer bonnets
to hats sometimes find it difficult to ;
find pleasing models. At a store 1
saw recently some very pretty and
smart looking bonnets. One was of
braided net, blank, draped softly over
Ihe crown, and coronet trimmed with 1
a bunch of dainty white flowrers from !
which rose a black aigrette. The
strings were of good ribbon. Another
was of white Yedda braid, covered j
with eobwebhv black net. The left ;
#de was trimmed with black silk
roses and lilies „f the valley. Black
roses also held the strings at the back.
A smart looking and serviceable hat
for general wear by a small girl is
:>f San Juan straw in a burnt color, i
hand pressed It is in a shady, mush
room shape with trimming of red or
navy blue ribbon around the crown j
tied into a bow on either side.
Then there is the prettiest little best j
hat that costs only $1. It is of fine
white straw, trimmed with bows of
satin ribbon and forget-me-nots. This,
too. has a mushroom brim and fairly
high crown.
Remnants of tine embroidery in
awns and batistes that can be picked
tip cheaply Just now make up Into i
lainty long coats for Infants' wear. 1
law a coat not long ago that was j
’ashinned from a remnant of fiounc
ng and a short length of plainer ma- j
terial. At the top of the design in the l
*mbroidery the surface was dotted, [
*nd the same kind of dotted goods i
was found in a narrower width that i
told by the yard. This was used for j
he yoke and sleeves the former sup- j
sorting the body of the coat formed
jy the flouncing gathered at the top.
rhe whole was lined with white China
tilk.
Isn’t it singular that, while women
would consider It the height of bad
aate to wear rings over their gloves,
,-et numbers of well dressed women
lo not hesitate to clasp one or more
bracelets on the wrists after the gloves
ire donned. I suppose some will say
Jiat long gloves will not fit well If
:he baroelet is worn underneath. In
Jtat case, leave U at boma I am
.v.
speak In* in regard to bracelets worn
for general and shopping
Pretty stockings in great variety are
to be found at low prices—dainty hose
in tan or white lisle thread, prettily
embroidered in self tones, the designs
both neat and attractive. Then there
are plain, very fine lisle thread hose
imported with spliced heels and double
toes In colors of pink, pale blue, vio
let, cardinal, canary and gold. As a
third choice there are imported stock
ings. In black, daintily finished with
side clocks in black silk. These are
most refined looking. Lastly. there la
a game weight In tan only made with
garter tops, double heels, soles and
toes.
A most delightful trimming for re
storing a half worn or shabby hat can
be made by any girl who can sew and
be . patient. It takes the form of a
very large bow fashioned from black
malines. The material is used dou
ble. and shirred on very fine millinery'
wire an inch or so from the edge of
each loop. The wire is covered with
rows of tiny rosebuds in pink or any
dainty color. A fold of Persian is
also very effective. The bow can be
added with a few strong stitches.

Running a Church Without Religion.
It Is often that a church undertakes,
openly, to run without religion, but
there is a case, in Cincinnati, of the
remnant of a once evangelical Congre
gational church seriously proposing to
do so. It Is generally understood to
have been doing so, really, for some
time. Their minister now wishes them
to announce that the church is to be
concerned, henceforth, simply with
civic matters. This seemed too bold
and too bald for some of Its mem
bers and a committee has been ap
pointed to consider and report as to
how much and what sort of religion
Is to engage their attention in the
future. Really this proposition for a
church to dispense with the whole sub
ject of religion Is an affair of such
a nature as to remind one of Alice In
Wonderland. But strange things come
to pass with those people who dis
pense with the real gospel. It it logi
cal t<g let all religion go in such cases.

I said, 'let us put our hand on that,

A number of American Episco
palians have incorporated a society
to promote the union of Christendom.
, They believe that all denominations.
Catholic and Protestant, should ha
brought Into one fold. The task be
fore the Christian I’nity Foundation,
as the new society Is called, is a large
one. not only because denominations
are many', but because the majority
of Christians hardly desire such a

Christian liberty, and Christian liberty
In turn produces a practical unllv

hoped that this decrease of intem
perance will be permanent
The nen urd women though they
may be poor, Igoorant. btimdering. who
day by day are quietly setting aside
their own pleasure for the sake of some
other person, take a sweetness and get
In themselves s growth which make*
the world a sacred place for them.—
