The Lingerie Gown.
In midsummer the iingerle gown is
alWays fashionable, aud, tide seawall the
deMand for fine lace and embroidery is
greater than ever known. Embroidered
linens, batietee and even embroidered
laces are eorobined, and so cleverly cont.
Hued that the reeelt is charming be-
yond expression. The most deberate
and finer work is necesearily expensive,
but there are many grades of work, and
also there 'are many imitation embroi-
deries and and lacea that are effective
and perfeetly practical. The princees

gowns the joining is so perfeetly Liu -
Jelled that it 'is difficult to dlicern It

waist and skirt joined with :Arrow cord
or piping, and this may or may not be
hidden under a sash or girdle.
Combining lace or 'embroidery with
other materials is a feature of tills sea-

striking .and becoming. Tjie lace or em-
broidery forms a tunic or makes the 1 p•

as Well as still Another rendering of
the , same design in a fldwered and
plain soft finished taffeta. Also it has
beeu made suceegsfully in a flowered

Transparent Materials Popular.
Voile, chiffon, marquisette -there is
a ceaseless repetition of their po-
ptelarity this season. All transparent
materials, and surely there are many
more than were ever known before this
seasen, are in constant demand, and
;melt charming results are achieved it
is /lot remarkable that dressmakers
wed:customers aeike are enthueiastie..
There are so many combinations of
eater and design, flowered, figured and
striped, one and all prove practical for
the 'fiefdom of to -day, and there is
jug, as wide a range of price as of de-
sign or color, so that it is not only the
tick woman who cruibuy what slut will,
but the woman of limited means whe

lot, for it is only'within the last two
or hhree years that the wonderful truth
has been learned that gowns for summer
can be made In sueh fashion that they
are procticcd even when lined. A silk
or lawn lining; well boned to support
the bust, need not add one particle of
warmth, and gives a finished appear-
ance. to Um gown, and when there is no
tilling over the shoulders or in the
sleeves the weist is ala delightfully cool

collarless weak not cut low, merely
made without a. collar, is also cool, but
is not iiitray-3 bee,oming. To make it be-
coming an unlined collar of finest net is
all sufficient and does not add to the
warmth.
Many Picturesque Detaile.
Many quaint and picturesque details
of old-time dress are to be noted. on the
:fewest goeheis, Forty years ago tiny
ruchings and pleatinge of satin, and veh
vet ribbon put on in sealloped rows
arouod the bottom of the skirts were
most fashionable: Once again has the
fashion found favor, and five or six of
these pleated scallops are most effective

the Waist of this model there is a ber-

Foulard Practical Material.
Voulard is, of alI inuteriaIs the most'
practical for midsummer for going into
WWII in the day. for traveling or for an
afternoon reception. If intended for
the latter the liOltter eolith's are the

There is a difference of opinion as to

28,. since these chapters evident-
ly emetean the passages read to the king.
Others believe. that the main part of
•the Pentateuch was included. Another
view is given by Whedon, as follows:
"The traditional and. most probable
meaning is, that this was the same book
of the law (or a true and complete copy
of it) which Moses wrote and ordere4
the .Levite-prieste to depesit And keep in
the elde of the ark of God (Deut, 31;9,

ance. read it before the king -King
Josiah gave Shaphau directions to read
it to him, for he was eager to know
the contents of the book. The scarc-
ity of books gave great value to those
that existed. The only way of pro -
clueing copies wos by the slow process of
copying by hand.
II. The effect upon the king (vs. 19.
2L) 19. He rent his elothes-lt, is evi-
dent from 2 Kings 22; 19 that the por-
tion read was from Dent. 28. The words
"horrified the pious monareh; for all
they contained, and the taw to which
they were appended, were wholly new
to Isim."-Fanstr. Josiah rent his
elothes because of grief over the sins
of the nation and. bemuse of the ealam-
Hies which the words read declared

have been eopies of the book of the law
in existence, but the kiwi. had never be.
fore heard these momenttua words, 20.
The king commanded -A delegation .of
men high in character o,nd impertance
was -at once sent to learn more definite-
ly the import of the words read from
the book of the law.,,21, Enquire of the
Lord -The men readily understood that
they were to go to a prophet of the
Lord for an interpretation of the words.
Left in Israel and in. Judah --Josiah ap.
pears to have extended his interest and
dominion over all that remained or the
twelve dribes of Israel. Our fathers
have not kept the word of the Lord -
The king realized that the condition of
Judah and Israel was unfavorable and
even distressing because of the past
sins of the nations. In its words, "our
fathers,' he probablo refers to Mamas -
salt and Atnon. In the Ilgtit of the book
of the law he believed that, greater cal-
amities were just ahead.
III. Holdall's prophecy (vs. 22-28.)
The king's delegation proceeded at once
to Huldah the prophetess. "All We know
of this celebrated woman is reeordect
here and in the parallel history of
Kings. But this short narrative has
immortalized her name. Probably the.
two prophets, Jeremieh' and Zephaniah,
were absent from the eitY. But Clod is
not straightened in his instruments. Ile
can use a Woman to speak for hint as
well as a man, a humble person as well
as au exalted one. Huldah had the full
prophetic gift, and spoke SO boldly,

iah or Jeremiah.' -Whedon. The word
"given to the king by Huldah wart not

tion but would die in peace.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
"Ifilltia,h.„said....I Iwo found the

she said. "I have been feeding on one
verse all the morning." "What verse?"
"'Whom I shall see for myself....and
not another' ", (Job 19:27). "I know
that verse perfectly," the friend inter-
rupted, "It comes after, know that
my Redeemer liveth.' The verse is,
"Whom I Aral see for myself and mine
eyes shall behold, and not another.'"
"What do -You understand by the ex-
pression, 'Not another'?" asked the sick
girl. "Why, it means -it means that
we shall see the Lord ourselves," •the
stammered, and asked, "Have you found
out any remarkable meaning?" "In the

GOOD CROPS.
Burned -out Pastures Revived and
Grain Greatly Benefited.
Guelph, July 24.--hOn the whole,
I think the crops of Ontario will be
up to, the mark of last year," said
Prof. 0, A, Zavitz this afternoon.
"The recent rains, of coulee, had
their greateet influence on the pas -
tura, 'which was being badly burned
up by the hear, catiaing the shrink-
age in the milk supply whieh. was
felt all over. Next to this, the great-
eet influence will be on the potatoes
and root crops and corn, whieh were
badly. in need of tain. The grain
crop es very well advanced, and it
would not do so much good as to the
roots, We are to -day thrashing one
winter wheat, and the yield is good,
while the, quality is up to the mark.
The straw. of the winter wheat is uni-
formly good over the Province, ex-
cept in some dietricts where it was
winter -killed. The spring wheat
straw is short, but the heads are
filling out well, and the yield of
grain will be good, though the straw
will be light. Harvesting is largely
commenced in this section, includ-
ing Wellington, Perth, Waterloo, and
on to Middlesex, and the harvest is
a good one, and on the whole the
crops will be well up to last year's,
except in straw. Apples, the Mil-
cipal orchard crop in this district,
will be light. Raspberries are
fresher in flavor &hove the recent
eains," concluded Prot Zavitz.
