You praise my beauty, grace and art,
O Love; but you are much to blame ;
Inevery line you leave a smart,
TLat makes me bow my head in shame,
' hate'er the world may choose to say,
I look not for such words from you :
I'd throw them from my heart away,
If you could even prove them true,
World's praise is but a passing mood,
That shifts aboat with the occasion ;
1t serves as oft for envy's food,
As that of honest admiration.
in your regard, I set no store
On what, by way of form or feature,
I hold in common, less or more,
With every other human creature.
if Love be blind, as it is said,
What can he know of outward graces 7
I care not for the love that's led
A facile slave of pretty faces,
I would not have my love depend
Jn beauty, were 1 ten times fairer
If beauty knew no change or end,
Life asks for something deeper, rarer—
+ that sets the world aside,
the touch of time or season,
ve for love abide,
t want another reason.

some, especially in
rooms which at the popular resorts are
cramped and narrow, where one
must utilize every spare inch of space
for the actual necessaries of life, It is
much better to have the reserve of cooler
dresses sent on Ly express
later in the season than to be taxed
with their care and balk during the
sultry days, It 1s also well to provide
soe fresh, dainty dresses of batiste
or organdie, with lace or embroidery
trimming, and have them also sent
later, to be in readiness for possible
garden parties or entertaiments during
the delightful days and evenings of In-
dian summer, Specially, attractive
dresses of veiling and similar light
wool fabrics have recently been sent
out by one of our most fashionable
firms to ill an order from one of the
more southernly resorts,
One of these dresses was of fine white
gypsy cloth and soft thick twilled silk.
The body, sleeves and drapery were of
the wool goods; the vest, collar, cuffs
and lower skirt of the silk. The skirt
had a very wide panel of the silk laid
in deep plaits, each plait furnished
with a narrow edging of pearl bead
trimming. The vest, collar and cuffs
were similarly trimmed. One side of
the drapery was drawn up and held by
acord or gimp of small pearl beads,
terminating in two tassels of the same
beads. The design was exquisite, the
dress being especially admired by the
favored few who were permitted to see
it
Another dress was made of cream
white faille and the finest, sheerest silk
mull, the mull being arranged in very
light floating draperies, plainly
hemmed, and without any ornament
whatever, The square neck was filled
in with mull in bias folds, The style
was very severe, but was admirably
suited to the statuesque young gentle.
