To Krcnrtt llarinoiiy, Bstwoen languid and clothes." ihf says, "there exists a legitimate rn perfect relation, as well as, on thfr other hand, a repugnant and dis tasteful discord KIiih language, line manners an l ft ie clothes are a beautiful harmony, but cannot be eptrruted without producing dlsas roirs effects and a worry spnctacle." Refined talk should certainly go Rad in h'tnd with refl ied and ele gant dress. What run he uglier H)n to hear strident tones, and, harsh sounds from the lipgof a jph in white silk or tim-liii. The lowr sweet voice that is ncli an celfent thing In a woman is wortlr.fttf.f tivating. Why should a woman', he Arusque and uncouth in her manner, wt thereby viola e every canon of that best of good breeding which Bonstots of doing as she would be croe by? Does she like other people-to accost and answer tir rough ly, rr to jostle her a-ide, to block up her Tiews of what she wishes, and perhaps has paid to see? Of course she does not. and why, then, should he practice these methods on her neighbors'? If "maifiier mukyth mn." it "tnakvth woman" in a much more pronounced degree. Erery woman can be a lady in gen tleness of speech and manner. If Ik were a queen, she co.tld be no more, und though she he a beggar maid she nei il be no ess. Take the gentlewoman who has tonif down in the world. Who may never Hllude to her changed fortunes por make any difficulty about doing the work that com- nearest to her, noneniHl or otherwise. "It is sel dom one sees a gem ly bred man or woman, he they ever so cruelly pineicd for means to dress, but that tUey miiigH never to lose tint out wrd sign of birth and education which bespeak itself in subtile ways and habits even if the garb bo threadbare." Such oi-tinction of character is be yond .mere neatness, beyond the thrift of care and iiieuding, but nev ertheless unmistakable Kxchinge.

Neckwear Is Very Itrllllant. Tliere is very little to say that is new of the shirtwaist collars. The high band of linen with points turn ed down under the cbin Is still the regulation collar, though many of the expensive waist iiave collars to match. Hut these I noti ie are ad justable, so it is an easy matter to re place them with one of white linen. The collar that is to be worn with string ties comes up high and turns doAii until it is really a double band of linen. The string tie. is run iu underneath so that it does not show, and is tied iu frouc, of course. Black satin is the favorite string tie, though very cool little ties are made of delicately colored lawns. But these are Just for real warm weath er wea". The ties to be worn at present are decidedly brilliant. "Never," says H trper's B izr. in commenting upon the latest iu neck wear, "in the history of man and woman, have there been so many and buch fascinating things for the neck displayed in the shops as at the present time. Tlie woman who cannot find ' something becoming amongst the varieties must be ex ceedingly plain." St for llm Children. Like the spring gowns of tlie mam mas, the new frocks of the small maids will show many an elab orate touch, while tlie small boys 'ill appear in very manly little rigs, both as to trousers and j tckets and top coats. There are now only a few little L ird Fauutleroys to be seen, thanks to Dame Fashiou's sen sible con lusion. Just a word about the small boy's new ciothes: The everyday suit of the well dressed young American will be of the sailor style, made of stout blue cloth, but seldom having the long sailor trousers, His best suit wi I be of sin.ooth, dark cloth, with the smartest sort of little j tcket turning back square to show a full blouse of snowy li en free from any frills, but f)nely tucked und closed with small studs. His overcoat is of dark blue diagonal cloth. , Tlie smallest boy or, at least, the Smallest boy in trousers would scorn to wear a big frilled collar. Very cunning, indeed, he looks with points turned do wn under the chin and a small plaid bow tie. In the small girl's , woolen frocks 1 notice that blouse effects and yokes are much lu vogue. Various shades of blue will be vastly p ipular lu children's frocks. In the wa m days, white will be most in vogue for the tiny misses. Many bright ribbons will adorn the sm trtest frocks. ilomati sashes will be much woru by young girls, as well as by their older sisters. ' No little maid's wardrobe will be complete without naif a dozen bright gingiiams. These will be. made with many narrow ruffles on both skirt anu waist. It is an excellent time just af this season to .purchase and make up the children's wash dresses and aprons. 'i , : Very trim little sailors, will serve for strictly out-of-door,' ,aiil! every day wear for small .girl,',, t'ne now lelt .sailors have flat crowns Hnd rather broad '.' brims. Tneir truii ming.cousists of a band of ribbon aud tl it bow at the side. For sum mer lime wear, Hats attr this style will appear iu plain, dark blue aud pearl white straw. The Easter hats of, children will be exceedingly flowery, a silver gray straw will be lu the lead in millinery for chil dren. Tnis forms an excellent foun dation and background for all varie ties of flowers. As the season advances, tan shoes and stockings will he worn almost exclusively for everyday, with wash frockn. Fiaid stockings with smart little black boots are the vogue at pivseut. For dancing, slippers and stockings match, and are the same color as the frock, ri'riped stock ings, with the stripes running up and down will be, worn next sum mer with low black shoes. Spring wraps for children include iu their range the longest and the shortest. For girls from (5 to 10, there are coats of soft, heavy silK, pleated to veiret or embroidered yoks, and reaching to the bottom of tlie little skirls. For older girls say from 10 to 15 tnere are short, little box front j icknts. lined mil irt ly with silk and closing with big pearl buttons. These jickein have narrow collars ami Mimll revns, and pfeS'eiiVaii exquisitely neat Hp pearanoe. They come iu all colors aud shades. Tim AkiiosIIc. In McClure's Magazine for Decem ber there is a very rad ible article bv W. T. Htead on "Hymns That Have Helped " Of course Cardinal Newman's "Lead, Kindly Light," claims attention, an I the writer tells us that of all the modern hymns praying for guidance, Newman's famous three verses seem t be most popular, "specially with peo ple who nave not accepted the lead ing or any church or theological authority, ana further ad Is the sig nitlcant statement tli.it "At Chicago the represent itives of evry cree l k no Art) to man found tv thirty oti which they agreed They could all join In tlie Lord's-Prayer", an I they could all slug 'Lsad, Kindly Light.'" Qreatnr praise th i.i this could not be bestowed Its oithos and its beauty, itschitdlike trutaud faith in God, appeal to th bnliever and Alls his heart with a siuse of security th it naught eU can do. How many, though, are they who cannot strive as they miy have that sublime faith ; only the searcher of all hearts knows. They who can not see, who cannot wain blindly, are not, we think, less sincere and earnest iu thei- desire to believe than tho-e who do. Mr. Stea I gives us iu his interesting article lines from on- of that cUss, an agnostic, which in beauty and sublimity of expression are second only to L -aj, Kindly Light," which iuspired them. They are worthy of repro duction, and are as follows: The way is dark ; I cry amid the gloom Kor guiding light; A wanderer, none knows whence or what his doom, I brave the night Fair scenes afar, as in a dream. I see Then seem to wake and faith deserteth me. In wondering awe I bend the knee be fore The viewless Might; And all my heart in mute appeal 1 pour, While straining sight Peers o'er tlie waste, yet Him I cannot find Whom seeks my soul ; grope as gr pe the blind. Rut 'mid confusing phantom lights I strive To go arght; A still small voice jeads on, and love doth give An inward might; And spite of sense, tliere lives a silent trust That day will dawn, that man is more than dust. The most fervent believer cannot, we think, question the sincerity of the doubter, who thus earnestly seeks the light, nor can we believe but what its celestial rays will yet guide him through the gloom of to day Into the great to-morrow. A Pilgkim. Let Good KiikIUIi RhkIii nt Home. It Is just as easy to teach a child how to speak well as it is to teach him how to walk well or eat well; but "how is this to be done?" some parent asks. I answer: By doing so yourself; bv bsiug as c ire ful of your own talk as you would have your children be. Many mothers look forward to seeing their children become educated and re fined, and they are sadly disap pointed, when, in after years, their children are handicapped in their struggle for success. l'tie fault is that in the very beginning the child was not taught to he careful of hi speech. When a mere babe on its mother's knee, it was talked to in language like this: "B'ess its 'itle heartie; ain't 'e s'eet? '.Ook up, at V mudder, an' dib 'er a tisV,,;';-,,: Now this illustrates the point well. After the child gets older he is talked to iu a similar manner in proportion to his age; and so on. Whe'tjt jfe makes a big grammatical hliltider, Instead of correcting him tot lp,l,'flls mistake is laughed at, and tli child thinks he is saying something sin irt, and consequently he takes pride in saying it again; nntil, finally, it bi' comes such a fixed habit that vrr'e cannot drop it if he tries. The- boV is sent from home to learn' Litin and French, aud he discovers.) that he has his own language to. learn first, and that when he mingles with the world and getsout of the littleshpere where he h is been confined, it is like going to a foreign country, where the inanuers(rtnd customs and language ae all ,diu;re:it from his ou.
