ingly original. es
Combined with 'satin or serge foulard
is effective, but the latest novelty, foul-
ard with voile,de hole, chiffon or satin,
is even more 'popular. A fascinating
gown that haseevon high favor is of grey
voile de sole tiimmed with a grey satin
foulard with polka dots of white. The
foulard is in it wide hand around the
skirt, in yoke,: cuffs, belt and long sash
ends, and add e wonderualy to the at-
tractive finish of the pwn. A satin
lining of rose .pink or white satin shows
off the voile de sole, of the gown to per-
fection, making it look richer and at
the same time niore transperent.
Liberty sat.is another material that
this season is :teed in combination with
different mateeials meet satisfactorily.
A most effective gown of rose pink cash-
mere de sole be one of the most striking
models of the .e.eason, and °wee a great
deal of its smart appearance to the
c:ever use of the black Liberty satin with
which it. is trimmed. The model is ex-
tremely simple and on the severe order;
the skirt, leery scant, is relieved. with a
broad band of black Win at the sides
and back, then on the waist the satin
forms the yoke and upper part of the
sleeves. A feecinating lingerie yoke and
underaleeves and an effective ornament
on the front of the waist eoinprise all
the rest of the trimming. This same
model can be used in plain and figured
foulard in a most satisfactory manner;
a voile de sole and foulard can be com-
bined effectively,
ettractIve model, The skirt, in five
scant tucks, has a close fitting satin lin-
ing that outlines the figure and makes
it appear slender, although there is con-
siderable width to the skirt. The width
is drawn in under a wide fold or band of
satin that starts at the left side of the
broad satin belt and goes diagonally
across the Mut of the ,skirt and around
to the back. Around the toot of the
skirt is a wide lace, over which falls
from the edge of the fold of satin a wide
crystal silver or pearl fringe. Across the
upper part of the skirt, following the
line of the satin fold, i an inch fringe
of the crystal or silver, while again an-
other line of fringe goes diagonally
across the waist from below the shoul-
der to the belt, just edging a wide fold
of the satin. The entire body and sleeves
of the waists are of the figured lace and
the sleeves are finished with a narrow
fringe to match tae trimming on the
skirt,
This main can be of lace. satin or
voile de sok; if of the heavier materiale
the embroidery mug be worked in
heavy silk of the same color. The gown
was originally designed for a low cut
waist. but can easily be changed to a
high neck or one of the gathered. lace
net yokes and a collar can be added.
Even with the yoke it is an elaborate
style, and consequently in reality far
better suited to the low eut waist. If
it is desired to make it more simple the
fringe can be omitted. It is an excellent
design for an all black lace made over
white or color and with the fringe in
cut jet beads. Another .moile of treat-
ment ca.n be carried out by omitting the
lace from the front of the skirt, substa
toting a broad band of satin or soft fin.

is used. or if the gown be of plain taffeta
or satin then the finish of a hem is all -

Variety of Styles.
But of all the smart gowns this season
the meet costly are those made entirely
of lace, The finest, eheerest laces are
used or the figured lade nets with wide
lace borders me bands of insertion with •
lace edge. • The styles are ant extreme.
Someof the skirts are quite full, gath-
ered into the belt, other styles are quite
lain, raosta. cirefolly fitted and hung,
and while ;lever scant in appearance are
not so rich as :the gathered or pleated
skirts,
Almost invariably is there a double
skirt effect, either in the tunic style or
with skirt slashed at the side to show an
underskirt of pleated chiffon or a full
plain underekirt of chiffon finished with
a wide fold of atin or lace. The under-
skirt is, as a rule, of another color from
the overskirt-epale pink or blue or
'bream whita Extremely simple in de-
sign is the waist, a full pleated blouse
with flat yoke of lace and a band of lace
just above the .belt. The sleeves, of el-
bow length, are finished with a narrow
band of the same lace. A pleated belt of
Nattier blue taffeta and a draped sash
low down on the skirt of Nattier blue
ribbon gives it feseinating toech of color.
The underskirt an be of the same .cdlor
as the belt and the sash, but a mem
w.hite lining is often chosen in prefer-
ence, and from an ecenomieal point of
view is the best, for then any color can
be worn with it. This same model can
be copied with pod effect in the heavier
embroidered anew that are so fashion-
able this sea,son,leht, will not then be on
the seme ordet ;of own, the original
made of the faces; lace being elaborate
enough for any ferinal entertainment.
The sash can 1;41 omitted if so desired,
but it certainly, giyes an original and
striking not to die costume that makes
the gown distinetive. Thi e Bash is tied
at the back of the skirt in a double bow,
with ends that fall to the hem of the
skirt.
To state positively that any one model
Is the smartest of the season at once
starts discussion. There are so many
models of lace gowns and lace gown's are
ao faehionable that it is quite impossible
to yield the palm to any .one of the
Many. Pasoinating in its simplicity and
quite unlike any other model is one of
white tate made up over a rose pink
satin lining. The satin fates the skirt in
a. fold and is iisea in the folded belt,
but is seen nowhere else on the entire
gown. The skirt is quite scant, but is
ao perfectly fitted- and hung that it
does not look too tight. On the skirt
there are ornamente and tassels sewed
on the lace in most novel and effective
style, and while it almost does -seem van-
dalisne to trim it or embroider lace so
beautiful in itself, fashion dent:ends orig.
inality in everything. The draped waist
is most grateful and becoming, the soft
folds crossing over to the left side and
fastening at the. belt under a large pink
silk rose, in which is repeated the shade
of the satin lining combined with three
or four other Shades of, pink. There are
a gathered yoke and !ugh collar Of fin.

SOME SUMMER TOILET HINTS.
Toilet Water Which May Very Easily
and Cheaply Be Made at Home.
A good toilet water for summer use
can be made at home of an ounce of
glycerine, 19 ounces of orange flower
wftter and a quarter of an ounce of
powdered borax. This is simply mixed
by pouring the ingredients into a bot-
tle so that it is only three -parts full
and then shaking it well.
A little applied to the face and hands
will prevent shiny appearance in hot
weather,and will not injure the pores
like powder.
If the hands have become very much
stained with ink they should be rubbed
with lemon juice, Shoulhl this fail to
remove the stains, a good plan is that
of adding a little pearl ash to water
and dipping the hands in the solution,
rubbing them with a piece of flannel
until the marks hive disappeared. Care
must be taken to avoid washing them
with soap for some thne afterward or
the spots will reappear.
A cooked potato is excellent as a
means of cleaning and whitening the
hands. The potato should be cut in half
and rubbed over the backs and fingers
after they have been soaked for a min-
ute Or two in warm water. Potato
thould be used in this manner instead of
soap,

NOVELTIES IN THE NEW BELTING
Among the most attractive of the new
belts are those with a combination of
suede or soft kid with patent leather.
Thete are various combinations, the
most, usual being white kid with black
patent leather. A handsome belt for a
young wontan with it slender waise is
of searkt suede with blade patent lea-
ther.
More sober combinetions are brown
antelope with black patent leather, also
green and brown purpte and black.
Some of the belts have a narrow bor-
der of the patent kather on each edge;
others have one leather, as the suede,
in the belt with the patent leather intro-
duced in shaped pieees just in front.
A particularly novel belt has strips of
patent leather linked through braes rlogs
under each arm; while a stylish combin-
ation worn with a shantung suit has a
belt of Chinese embroidery with links
of brown patcut leather.

our Lord's ministry. Luke say; "And it
came to pass, when the time watt come
that he should be ecceived up, he stead-
fftsely set his face to go to Jerusalem"

This region was known as Perea, and

Antipas. This marked the beginning of
Christ's Perean ministry. 2. Great mul-
titudes followed him. The work of
Jesus, had become known aud his min-
istry attracted large numbers, Healed

summary of the work of Jesus for sev-

infants, and. the fact that they "were
brought" to Jesus and he took them in
his arms shows that they were young.
Put his hand on them. Jesus had done
marvellous things for the people and
the parents believed that his touch and
prayer wouldbe of great benefit to tbeir
children. The disciples rebuked them.
They had. e fake sense of propriety,
thinking that Jesus had no- mission to
children. It is possible that the parents
came while Jesus was in the midst of
a discourseand the disciples sought to
prevent* the intonation, but the pres-
ence of the chilaren enforced the truth
Jesus was uttering.
14. Suffer little children...to come
unto me The disciples who had re-
buked. the parents, were themselves re-
but:eel by the Savior. It is a great mis-
take to think that children have no
place en the church of Christ. They are
given special consideration and encourage
merit by the Lord. He spoke these
words for all time. The church, the pas-
tor, or the religious system, that fails
to make provision for the spirituel needs
of the children has erred. greviously.
"In all my ministry, when the choice
must be between one child; and two
adults, I never besitated to take the
ohild."-S. H. Tyng. Of such is the
kingdom orheaven. The disciples believ-
ed that the children must become grown
up to enter the kingdom, but Jesus de-
clared. that the grown-up people must
become childlike to -aave place therein.
The kingdom of heaven is made up of,
or "belongeth" (II, V.) to children and
those Who have the childlike spirit.
Men must become "such" in teachable-
ness, in trustfulnese, in freedom front
guile and the spirit of the world, and
in humility. Children may become
Christiaus. "Of the many boys and
girls whom we have received into
church -fellowship, I can say of them all
that they lutae gladdened my heart, and
I have never received any with greater
confidence than I have these." -Spur-
geon. Such as die before they ha.ve
wandered out of God's kingdom into
the kingdom of Satan are certainly sav-
ed, since they are "of the kingaom of
heaven." -Abbott, 15. tie laid his hands
on thein. Among the Jews it was cus-
tomary f or parents to have the rabbis
or elders lay their bands, upon the heads
of their children and pray for a good
and successful life for them. Those who
brought their children to Jesus could
confidently expect rich blessings for
their little ones.
III. The rich young ruler (vs. 10-22).
10. One came --Jesus had "departed
thence" and was on His way, when a
rich young ruler of the synagogue came
running to him and kneeled before Him.
His notions declared His sincerity and
earnestness. Good Master-"Teacherei

would address a doctor of the Jewish
Mw. What good thing shall 1 do -It
is evident that the young man bonged
for rest of soul, and thought by doing
some great deed, some act of heroism,
or deeply' religious duty, he might be te-
quired. 17. None good but one -Jesus
in asking the question, "Why Wiest
thou me good?" Was drawing out the
thought of the inquirer to let him de-
clare whether he was coming to Jesus
as a mere man, or as to the Messiah.
Our Lord desired. to impress upon the
mind of the ruler that the "Master"
whom he addressed was the Son of God,
dtvine, and .he source of ell geod and
ttuth. Enter bito life -Spiritual life, the
true life the life, of God in the soul.

THE NEW BABY'S FIRST HOLIDAY
Ever since the Clue arrived for baby
to take his first holiday a perfect stone
of discussion has raged.- On this side
the plea will be put forth that for the
first year of las life baby should remain
at home -a counsel of perfection held by
many medical men -on the other will be
advanced the obstinate fact that lie
cannot very well be left at home alone.
The vexed problem will have to be
solved by applying to the special ease a
special solution of the difficulty, and
making the best possible arrangements
for baby's health and comfort at home
or away from home.
Should he venture forth there is reedy
for baby's use the most beautiful lug-
gage. A large white wicker basket is the
chief place, wadded with white satin and
arranged with a tray inside, upon which
his more precious fat-lals, such as shoes,
socks and bibs, may repose.
The basket is equipped with toilet fit-
ments, and when the wadded tray is lift-
ed out it serves as a dressing basket for
imrse's use when baby makes his toilet
in the morning and at night.
The folding cot and the collapsible
bath add but little weight and size to
the luggage, and as for the perarabula-
tor, its transportation is easily man-
aged.

Heavy embroidery is used on linens.
Whole petticoats of ribbons threaded
net are charming for party wear.
Burlap suiting is one of the fashion-
able new fablies of the season.

Square vpils, with einbroidered herd-
ers, are much in vogue and are becom-
ing.
.Persion scarfs are moat effective I met-
ered with Marabou or ostrich feathers
or with bands of plain eolored silk.
A morning blouse of any white mat-
erial may be set off by a yoke an,1 cuffs
of the new mustard shade, or of blue
and should. be worn with a belt of the
same shade.
Attractive waists for summer are
made of eyelet embroidery or of white
linen embroidered in brown dots. Belts,
tie d stockings should mateh the
cedoner of the dots.
Evening gowns aro simple. They show
the infinence of the peasant style. In-
stead of being on splendid lines with
gorgeous ornamentation they are unus-
ually simple.
An effective Leghorn hat has it erswn
of yellow roses and a, cluster of the
same flowers under the left brim.
Many tunics are seen They are not
ehort, as they were last year, but they
drop well down to the hem, or at least
over the knees. They are of chiffon or
mousseline.
Exquisite are many of the Dresden
flower striped tauslins. Some of the
blouses of this material are trimmed
with frills of sheer white nutsliii-hor-

Self-righteousness (v. 20). Each ques-
tion, as to the observance of the law,
the young ruler answered with prompt
satisfaction. Self is the key to all his
behavior. So absorbing was his confi-
dence in self that there was tee room
for trust in Christ. Ho expected the
promises of eternal life as a reward for
what he had done. Morality may deceive
men, but it cannot satisfy God. The
duty of an earnest seeker is, 1. Obey
God. Faith and obedience are twins.
Under law obedience takes the promi-
nent place; under grace faith is empha-
sized; but they are inseparable (Rom.
10:1-13; Gal. 3:6-26), Obedience is an
outward expression of an inward faith.
"By faith Abel offered;" 'by faith Noah
....prepared an ark;" 'by faith Abra-
ham. , _obeyed" (Heb. 11:4, 7, 8). Obed-
ience is the evidence of faith (2 Cor. 2:
9). 2. Beware of self-righteousness (v.
20). He had lived soberly anci virtuous-
ly in the outward, but he was not near-
ly so good as he thought. If he had
kept the commandments; had had "no
other gods" (Exod. 20:3); had loved his
neighbor as himself (v. 191- he would
have been ready for the test Christ gave
Min. 3. .A.void capital I's. "What leak
I yet?" (v. 20). asked this self-righte-
ous seeked. The seventh of Romans, full
of struggle, conflict and failure, has
thirty-one "Ps" and sixteen "me's"-
forty-seven in all; while in the eighth
chapter, which tells of victory, triumph
and peace, 'I" or "me" is hardly men-
tioned, but some name for God is found
forty-eight times. The Lord's prayer
contains neither "I" nor "me," but the
Pharisee's prayer, of thirty-four words,
mentions the name of God but once, and
contains five capital "I's." 'Not I, but
Olnist" (Gal. 2:20) is the language of
the consecrated heart.
Self -surrender (v. 21). Jesus does not
deceive as to the cost of discipleship. It
is nothing less than absolute self -sur
render. This command was obeyed by
Abraham when"he went out, not know -
hug whither" . (Heb. 11:8); by Isaac,
when he let his father bind him upon
the altar of seerifice (Gen. 22:9); by
Moses, when he esteemed "the reproach
of Christ greater riches than the treas-
ures of Egypt" (Heb. 11:24-27); by Mat-
thew, probably the richest of all the
apostles, when lie left "the receipt of
custom" (Matt. 9:9; Luke 5:29); by
Peter and the twelve when they "left
all" Mark 10:28); by Paul, who „gave
up his pride and went into Daraaseus
and reeived his sight and. his instruc-
tion from a, despised Christian whom he
had meant to perseeute (Acts 9:6-12);
by Luther, when ho left the faith of his
ehildhood and turned from the church
of his fathers.
Sorrow of riches. "lae went away sor-
rowful; for he had great possessions."
No man ever conies into direct, personal
contact with our Lord without forever
after bearing some sign to mark that
interview. The young ruler canto to him
in strong self-coMplacency. Ile distrust-
ed to much to obey and yet the veil of
self-esteem had boon pierced by our
Lord's words, and from henceforth he
must be sorrowful. Prayer, not 'wealth,
gives peace (Phil. 4:6, 7). Riehes shut
out from the "kingdom of God" (vs. 23,
24). Then "labor not to be rich" (Prov.
23:4). "Lay not up for youreelves treas-
ures upon earth" (Matt. 6:18; Luke
12:21). "The love of money is it. root of
all kinds of evil" (1 Tim. 6:10, IL V.).
Salvation impossible. "Who then ean be
saved?" 'With God all things are pos-
tale" (vs. 25,20), Things impossible to
nature are posible to grace. Only God
can incline the natural heart to forsake
all mut obey the command, 'Come and
follow nee." There is great ?meta for
the obedient. -A. C. M.

Leipzig, Aug. 1.-A xoniantle drama
of adoption. in aristocratic circles was
brought to light by a mule which has
just been closed in the Imperial Sup-
reroe Court here. The action was the re,
suit of the desire of the widow of Count
George Von Voss to inherit his entire
estate.
In 1859 the Count, who was a
member of one of the oldest families of
the North Gerraan, niebility, married ire
Galicia a woman of very humble mega:,
Their union proved childless; and the
Count decided to adopt oue of the four
children of his wife's sister, who had
married. a caxpenter.
Consequently the girl, Helene, was
presented. by the Count as his own,
for he had previously bribed a priest
to forge a certificate of birth. At
thirteen Helene lost her foster -mother.
The Count remarried, choosing this time
a lady from his own worldly station.
The new Countess was told the secret
of Helene's birth,' but was threatened
with death if she ever revealed it.
In due time Helene, herself ignor-
ant of her origin, was married to a
Prussian officer, Captain, Udo Von
Grone. Six years ago Count Von Voss
died. Unfortunately he was not care-
ful enough to leave a will. His widow
was thus exposed to severe temptation.
If she kept Helene's secret she would
lose a large part of the inheritance, but
if, on the other hand, she told the eir,
cumstances of the birth of her lois-
band's "daughter" she would be his solo
heir,
Helene Von Grone received a let-
ter one day acquainting her with the
facts of her parentage and adoption.
She was also reproached for having
accepted the many benefits heaped
upon her by the late Count; and 'she
was finally advised to abandon all
chinas to his inheritance and not risk
the exposure of her humble origin
which a lawsuit would itirvolve.
However, the Countess Von Voss
had not counted upon Capt. Von
Grone. In his turn he haled the widow
to court. His grievance was that he led
been induced to marry his wife by it be-
ing represented to him that Hetet° was
a descendant of it noble family and the
heiress of the wealthy Count Von Wee,
so that a fraud had been practised. upon
him. Therefore he urged the Countess
Von Voss as her husband's heir and a
party to the deception to pay bim the
sum of $05,000, to which he would have
been entitled had his wife really been
the Count's daughter. The action was
decided in the captain's favor, and his
wife will not have to suffer pecuniary
loss through the disclosure of the sec-
ret of her birth.
Ottawa, Aug. 1. -That a. man who
poses as a qualified physician. in Hull
issues prescriptions for cocaine pro-
miscuously to all who apply for it
and that the prescriptions are duly
accepted by a Hull drug store, is the
confesion made to Chief' Mareoux, by
it young girl giving the name of
Leontine Lambert, 1nkerman street,
who was arrested while crazed by the
drug. Questioned by the chief, the girl
stated that she had been using the drug
for over two years continuously. She
named a man in Hull who had supplied
her with prescriptions which she had
filled at a drug store there, the name of
which she gave. She stated that the
man had called hirnself. doctor, but in-
vestigation by the police indicates Met
ae is not it qualified physician of the
city.
Miss Lambert stated that she ob-
tained as much as $1,50 worth at the
time. It was supplied in small pill
boxes, which would cootain about half
an ounce, She was aware that it
would kill her in time, but did, not care
as long as she had the cocaine.
Another case was found. on Bridge
street, where a boy only 17 years of
age has also been using the drug for
over a year. On Thursday, while un-
der the influence of cocaine which his
father states he obtains by stealing
money from him, he was seized with
a fit of rage and plunged his fist
through a large window in his room,
cutting his hand so badly that Dr.
Tasse had to tender aid, and eveit
after the injored hand was bandaged
he repeated the performance. The boy
