Just why one material is given the
preference over all others is impossible
to say, but it is all in line with every.
thing that has to do with fashion, and
espemally fasbion as regards dress. Some
color, some model and isotne fabric will
suddenly spring into prominence and at
once be "the rage," often identically the
same that has beep before the public for
season after season without even at.
trading attention,
It is one of the secrets of trade, and
it secret not to be indiscreetly divulged,
and the feminine population, as it rule,
is well content to aecept blindly the dic-
tates of fashion as regards colora and
materials, thereby saving a lot of time
and thouglat, for the woman who would
be known as smartly gowned has a task
in these days that involves far .more en-
ergy than the world at large can im-
agine.
There are materials popular year after
year, and apparently no change of style
or fashion affects them. Chiffon has
led a charmed life for a Imager time
than would be credited, and still sur-
vives and is in constant use. Silks, sat-
ins, velvets all vary in popularity as re-
gards design and weave, velvet being
singularly seositive to criticism, Of late
years there has been a much more prac-
tical view taken of materials, and in
consequence life is far more bearable.
Not only is a determined effort made to
. produce materials suitably light and
cool for alumnae but correspondingly
heavy and -warm for whiter, while at the
same time fashion decreees the wearing
in heated houses of the same thin fabrics..
that are appropriate for summer.
Clothes Question Simplified,.
In consequence the whole question of
areas has been ahoplified, and there is no
such expenditure of time and labor
spring and autumn in putting away
clothes for the next season, with the ex-
ception of the heavy winter street and
fur garments.
Voile de soie and cashmere de soie are
two materials of which much is heard
these days, and both are in great de-
mand for every sort and description of
gown for day and evening, for house and
street wear, although this is rather too
sweeping a statement as regards the
voile de sole, for it is quite too thin to
be worn unless under it heavy wrap for
some -months to come. Cashmere de
sole is a fascinatingly soft and fine ma-
teriel that lends itself most admirably
to any fashion that requires graceful
lines or close fitting effects. It moulds
itself into the figure, it seems to drape
itself into long lines' and is of a beauty
of weave and. finish that makes it most
becoming whether it is in dark or light
shades: It has it satin lustre that at a
distance gives much the same effect as
charmde satin, and any embroidery
of silk or elaborate trimming of any
kind serves but to accentuate its col-
oring. It has ben made up in reception
and theatre gowns and for the spring
will be greatly used for street gowns.
Voile de sole aeearently is fashionable
for any occasion, one reason being that
there are so many different qualities and
weaves, varying from rather heavy to
the finest and sheerest effects. Some
qualities resemble -chiffon and mousse-
line de solo so closely that it is scarcely
possible to distinguish one front the oth-
er, but it close inspection reveals a rath-
er eloser, firmer foundation than the
fluor qualities- of thiffon and it softer,
more silky finish than mousselin de
sole,
importance of Color Scheme.
The present denutue for embroidery on
the material itself can and is most satis-
factorily carried out in voile de sok,
and the channiug and unusual colorings
are also most easily effected, for the
fabric is so delightfully transparent that
any lining shows to perfection. Crystal,
pearl, gold and silver embroidery seems
to stand out from such it background
more distinctly, and if put aver it satin

cupation of choosing the trousseau at
the moment most fascinating. A cinna-
mon brown voile de sole theatre gown,
embroidered in gold and made over a
yellow satin foundation, is a color
scheme that appeals to every woman of
ai ladle taste, Pearl or crystal emleroid-

the pale yellow over blue is also strik-

ot the season is a curious light yellow,

design was copied from an old French
;minting, as, indeed, are most of the best
designs, and the coloring, materials and
trimmings are wonderfully attractive.
Tunics, plain and draped, long and
short, are most fashionable in the voile
de soie, aud, as already has been stated,
contrasting colors aro popular. At the
same time, the all one color is fashion-
able also. Then the white satin linings,
in cream, evhite preferably, are also ex-
tremely smart. A. gown of white satin,
with tunic and waist of old blue in

most severely plain, as the only trim-

dr° certainly ooe the eccentrie order,
but that the fashion exists there is no
denyiug, and the leading: dressraakers
are apparently trying their hardest to
evolve some modificatioo of the origin-
al style that will be possible aud becom-
ing. There are few figures that can
stand the fasnion of the skirts so much
tighter around the ankles, bub the com-
bining of two materials is a great aid
to breakingthe hard line, for the trans-
parent tunic can be much fuller than
the foundation skirt, and the folds hide
or rather modify the extreme and ec-
centric narrowness. Then, if so desired,
the tunic is most elaborately embroider-
ed or is finished with a wide band of
embreidered trimming that makes the
material itself much thicker and less
transparent.
It is said that tunics finished with
fringe will. be very smart this summer,
and already there are many charming
models in the embroidered nete and
tulles that are made with long tunio ef-
fect and finished with fringe of crystal
beads.
For street wear when the weather is
warmer the darker color voile de sole
gowns will be most popular. Black is to
be fashionable, ithe the all black, with
only a touch of color in the embroidery
on the waist, or made over color or
white asd with only black embroidery
or trimming. Queer shades of dark blue
and green are very attractive and svill
be most popular, but not the ordinary
:lades. Embroidery on the material it-

fashionable than bands of trimming,

COLLARS OF IRISH LACE.
When hat weather returns stud the
days are spent in tennis, rowing, golf
and the thousand and one other modes
of glorious summer fun and exercise,
then a, low turned down collar may be
worn once again. In midwinter, in a
eehoolroom, however, a Buster 13rown
collar is anything but smart; it is too
inappropdiate. and also too generally un-
becoming to be in any way attractive.
It is comfortable, of course, but so are

Irish late or of embroidered linen, fin.
islied with aaeraall jabot in freed, is
sure to be becoming. Irish is better than
any other kind of lace, as it washes so
well, A collar of this lace tan beet be
made from a strip of insertion, cut the
right length and fastened with small
linen covered buttons and eyes.
It should be basted to a foundation of
sheerest batiste or lawn to prevent it
from tearing or pulling when washed,
A staall tab made of a, three or four -inch
piece of the lace will finish this collar
in front and serve as a. jabot.
Irish late by the yard can generally
be bought cheaper than if it regular col-
lar piece is purchased. The made tole
.lars, too, are not apt to fit the neck so
well as a straight stripe of lace of
just the right width for the neck. On
a remnant counter bits of lace often
can be annul most inexpensively, thir-
teen or anyway fourteen incites being
sufficient for a collar. Washed carefully
with a good lace soap, two pieces of lacts
will last through an entire winteraworn

into little tape eases, the celluloid being

Jesus the Healer. --Matt. 11:43.17.
Our Envious Neighbors,
Commentary. -I, A leper eleaneed (vs.
24). 3. There came a leper -The leprosy
was the moot loathsome and the most
dreaded dievaee among the jewe. Of it
Geikie eays, "From the an it slowly
ate its way through the tissue,' to the
bonea and joints, ad even to the Mare
row, rottieg the whele body piecemeal.
The lunge, the organs of speech and of
heariaa, and the eyes, were attaoked
tu turn, till at last oonsumption
dropsy brought welcome death. The
dread of infection kept men aloof from
the aufferer; and the la,w proscribed
him ae above all men unclean." The
hair falls from the head and eyebrows;
the nella loosen and <levity, and drop
off; joint after joint of finger and toms
shrink up, and slowly fall away; tk
gums aro absorbed, and the teeth die,
appear; the nose, the eyes, the tongue
and the palate are slowly coemuned;
and finally the wretehed victim sinks
into tke earth and dishppears. Thona

hereditary, widely spread over the
earth, ineurable and insidious, It is an
'emblem of sin. The leper came to Tesua,
thua acknowledging his condition and
his need, and desire of help. Worshipped
him -Mark Was ua that he kneeled
down before Jesus, and Luke saya lie
"fell on kis face." It was an act of re.
vereiace, and certainly an act of en-
treaty. Ile had come to know of jesue
through the great *works. He had
wrought. If thoo wilt -The leper did,
not doubt Jesus' ability to cure Inin,
but be did doubt his willingness. It was

Vouched him -The leper's touch meant
ceremonial defilement and possibly the
communciation of the leprosy, but
Jena toiwhed him, fo iu uncleanli-
ness could attach itself to him, no lep-
rosy could stand before omnipotent pow-
er. "The toucli woold be an optical, de-

er's doubt, "if then will, and to ins
faith, "thou cast," We may try to *im-
agine the feelings of the diseased luau
upon hearing these gracious words. -
4. Tell no man -In some oases Jesus
bade those who were healed to tell it, in
others He bade them to tell no one.
Mark say a the leper blazed it abroad so
that the crowds were .attracted to that
extent that Jesus was greatly inconven-
ienced. It has been suggested that the
Master wished to select the time,
• eves
and witnesses of the testimony to His
miracles. Show thyself the time, place
the priest was entrusted the resamei-
baiter of deciding 'whether one ha a the
leprosy or not. Explicit directions are
given covering the case in Lev. 13. 14.
Offer the gift -Two live birdwere to

blood sprinkled upon the person reseed,-

be made later. See Lev. 14 t 1-32. Fort a
testimony -The people would know of
it. The priest would •officially pro-
nounce the leper cleanse& The testa
mony would show that Jesus kept the
law, There was no fear in Jesus about
His work bearing the closest inapeoatin.
So 'it is with the leprosy of sin. Stems
cures it completely.

Reason from analogy (vs. 9, 10). The
centurion rammed that, as he, a mem
"under authority," had absolute domin-
ion over a 'hundred men and a word
'from him would compel inetaut obedience
from any of them, to the great Ruler,
in His realm, would be equally powerful.
Reasoning from analogy is Biblical, If
we are willing to give to our children,
more willing to give to us (Luke
Gi°11,d1413),
Be humble. The centurion was a bum-
ble man. He loved the lowly. He was
free from national prejudices (Luke 7,
3, 5). Ho said honestly, "I am not wor-
thy" (v. 8).* The lower we lie in humil-
ity the higher we rise in prayer. Study
the prayers of the great apostle. He
who thought himself less than the least
of all saints (Eph. 3. 8) knew how to
prey for all saints (ph. 1, 15; 3, 11-21;
Phil. 1, 3, 4; Col. 1, 9). Mosee, the law-
giver and Nader, prophet and poet, yet

Have "great faith" (v. 70). There
are degrees of faith (Rom. 12, 6). To
Ike disciples who questioned why they
could not cast out the dumb demon from
the noblemen's child, Jesus said, "Be-
cause of your unbelief" (Mutt. 17, 20).
To the nobleman, discouraged by the

Godokora, Soudan, on the Upper Nile,
Feb. 28. -Col. Roosevelt and the others
of bis immediate party sailed to -day on
the steamer Dal for Khartoum, where
they expect to Relive on Marelt. 15th.
Col. Roosevelt considers the killing of
the giant erlands in his recent excursion
along the upper reaches of the Nile was
a fitting ending of a marvellously suc-
cessful trip.
Col. Roosevelb and las son le.ermit
have killed some 500 specimens of large
manituars. The bag includes the follow-
ing: 17 lions, 11 elephants, 10 buffalos, 10
black thinos, 9 white rhinos, 0 hippopo-
tami, .9 giraffes, 3 leopards, 7 cheetahs, 3
giant erlands, 3 sables, one situanga and
two bongos.
All these were killed in the interest of
science and the specimens will be dispos-
ed of accordiugly, the greater number
going to the Smithsonian Institute. Mr.
Roosevelt will retain not more than six
trephies for himself.
All agree that too mich praise cannot
be accorded to E. J. Cunningham, the
Englishman, whose management of the
expedition was as nearly perfect as.
could be conceived.
