I THE REALM 1 | OF FASHION. I A Popular Type of Millinery. This is a hat for a young girl, and it is the latest confeotiou from the es tablishment of a famous New York HAT FOR A YOUNG <3lKb. milliner. It is made of ecru Yeddo straw, and turned up sailor fashion. It is trimmed with a drapery of black TWO FAIR GRADUATES IN THEIR GOWNS OF SOFTEST WHITE. velvet and a broad couteau feather set in the velvet diagonally. It is a beau tiful type of the hat that is so ex tremely popular this season. Graduation Gownn. The regulation graduation gown bonsts just a little refreshing air of originality this season. Perhaps it is the variety in materials used that gives this impression, for the couturieres all seem impressed with the importance of keeping graduation gowns exceed ingly simple. The chief charm of these gowns is the exquisite needlework, that is sim ply marvelous on close examination. At one of the shops was shown a large square yoke of tiny tucks and hand embroidery done with sheer mull. There were yards of hand-embroidered frills to match—all of it the work of a devoted old aunt who had been work ing on her niece's graduation gown for years. Most of the models shown are too fluffy in effect. Organdie was the ma terial most favored, but mousseline de soie, chiffon, veiling, tulle and a num ber of gauzy materials were in evi dence. Two or three of the gowns were made of silk poplin, and they were fashioned more on the clinging lines than were the others. Simplicity was their most striking characteristics, too; but it was a sort of classic sim plicity. A "Marguerite gown" was exquisite ly dainty. Jtwasmadeof white chif fon over a transparency of white taffeta. The skirt was composed of seveu frills of chiffon, briar stitched around the hems with white silk. Marguerites were embroidered in an irregular, artistic pattern over the ribbon. The sleeves were slightly draped and were mounted by short, full puffs of the chiffon. The lower edge of the puff was held with a band of the embroidered ribbon. Gradu ating gowns made entirely of Utoord ion plaited sheer materials are con sidered by a great many young women the simplest and most tasteful gowns to be had. With their soft long sashes and rib bon bows they certainly boast a juve nile air that is bewitching, and they adapt themselves to all sorts of figures, they soften the lines of angular figures and, strange to say, the round •Bß/.°Lth® rol y-P ol y B" 1 is lost in this nuffiness of her gown. Many girl graduates incline toward ruffles, and foj- these there is the skirt all ruffled from hip to floor. | These ruffles are the only trimming the skirt boasts. They can be of lace or organdie or any other thin material. The graduation dress is generally to be worn for the girl's "very best" all summer. After graduation it is made gay with ribbons and is ofteD worn over a colored slip of tafleta. Philippines Cloth. The world of fashion is under obli gations to these Philippine Islanders for that most beautiful of all textiles, the silky cloth known as pineapple, pinas, or Philippinas cloth. It is made from the soft but strong fine hairs of the pineapple plant, whose collection, treatment and spinning de mand a world of labor. It is woven upon hand looms, excepting in one or two of the smaller cities, where Eu ropean looms are employed. The cloth has all the brilliancy and luster of silk, but is a little stronger and more rigid. It is yoven with rather | an open thread, so that it affords ven tilation to the body of the wearer, and in this manner makes oue of the cool est garments for summer wear which is known. Ciiril Case to Alateh Gown. To keep pace with fashion one must own a card case to match each gown. These cases come of leather in all of the fashionable dyes. If a woman cannot afford the luxury of such va- riety a green case of rather bright hue is the one which will best suit the greatest number of gowns. Klatiorate Summer Gown. This lovely dress is to be worn at a garden party—one of the first outdoor afi'airs of the season. It is in the form of a polonaise and is of pale heliotrope crepon, trimmed with nar row bands of cream satin. The yoke and collar are tucked satin. The skirt is a beautiful one of plain cream satin. Ovsr the satin is laid a heavy embroidery in a deeper shade of cream. The flowers in the design stand out as though thrown there and the flowers on the skirt look as life like as the lovely silk rosebuds of COSTUME FOR A GARDEN PARTY. which the flower hat is complete)} made. DR. TALMAGES SEKMON. SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. The Choice of a Wife—From a Hustle lllble Scene is Drawn a Practical and Inspiring Lesson For All Classes of People—The Calling For Special Work, Text: "Now Mosob kept the floek ol Jethro, his father-in-law, tho priest of Midian."—Exodus ill., 1. In the southeastern part of Arabia a man Is sitting by a well. It is the arid country and water is scarce, so that a well is of great value, and flocks nnd herds are driven vast distances to have their thirst slacked; Jethro, a Mldianite sheik and priest, was so fortunate as to lmvo seven daughters, and they are practical girls, and yonder they come, driving tho sheep and cattle and camels of their lather to the watering. They lower the buckets and then pull them up, the water plashing on the stones and chilling their feet, and the troughs are filled. Who is that man out there, sitting unconcerned and looking on? Why does he not come nnd help the women in this hard work of drawing water? But no sooner have tho dry lips and pant ing nostrils of tho flocks' begun to cool a little in the brimming trough of the well than some rough Bedouin shepherds break in upon the scene, and with elubs and shouts drive back the animals that were drinking and alTright theso girls until they fly in retreat, and the flocks or these ill mannered shepherds are driven to the troughs, taking the places of the other flocks. j Now that man sitting by the well begins to color up. and his eye flashes with indig nation, nnd all the gallantry of his nature is aroused. It is Moses who naturally had a quick temper, anyhow, as he demon strated on one occasion when he saw an Egyptian oppressing an Israelite and gave the Egyptian n sudden clip and burled him iu the sand, and as he showed afterward when ho broko all the Ten Commandmeutf at once by shattering the two granite slnbt on which the law was writton. But tho in justice of this treatment of the seven girls sets him on tire with wrath, and he takes tills shepherd by the throat, and pushes back another shepherd till he falls over the trough, and aims a stunning blow between the eyes of another, as ho cries, "Begone, you villains!" and he hoots nnd roars nt the sheep and cattle and camels of these invaders and drives them back; and hav ing cleared the plaoe of the desperadoes, he told the seven girls of this Midiaulte sheik to gather their flocks together and bring them again to the watering. The fact that it took the seven daughters to drive tbe flocks to the well implies that they were immense flocks, and that her father was a man of wealth. What was the use of Zipporalfs bemeaning herself with work when she might have reclined on the hillside near her father's tent, nnd plucked buttercups, and dreamed out ro mances, and sighed idly to the winds, and wept over imaginary songs to the brooks. No, she knew that work was honorable, and thnt every girl ought te have some thing to do, nnd so she starts with the bleating anil lowing and bellowing aud neighing droves to the well for the watering. Around every homo there are flocks and droves of cares and anxieties, and every daughter of the family, though there be seven, ought to be doing her part to take care of the flocks. In many households, not only is Zippornh, but all her sisters, without practical aud useful employments. Many of them are waiting for fortunate and prosperous matrimonial alliance, but some lounger like themselves will come along, aud ufter countiug the large num ber of father Jethro's sheep and camels will make proposal that will be accepted; aud neither of them baring done anything more practical than to chew chocolate caramels, the two nothings will start on tho road of life together, every step morn nnd more a failure. That daughter of the Midiaultish sheik will never llnd her Moses. There is a qutjstion that every father nDd mother ought to ask thedaughter at break fast or tea table, and that all the daugh ters of the wealthy sheik ought to ask each other: "What would you do if the family fortune should fall, if sickness should prostrate the breadwinner, if the flocks of Jethro should be destroyed by a sudden ex cursion of wolves nnd bears and hyenas from the mountain? What would you do for a living? Could vou support yourself? Can you take care of an invalid mother or brother or sister as well as yourself?" Yea, bring it down to what any day might coine to a prosperous ramily. '"Can you cook a dinner if the servants should make a strike for higher wages and leave that morning?" There needs to be peaceful, yet radical revolution among most of the "prosperous homes of America, by which the elegant do-nothings may be transformed into prac tical do-somethings. Let useless women goto work nnd gather the flocks. Come, Zipporah, let me introduce you to Moses. See in this call of Moses that God has a great memory. Four hundred years before He had promised the deliverance of the op pressed Israelites of Egypt. The clock ol time has struck the hour, and now Moses is called to the work of rescue. Four hun dred years is a very long time, but you see (rod can remember a promise four hundred years as well as you can remember four hundred minutes. No one realizes how great he is for good or for evil. There are branchings out and rebounds, aud reverberations, and elab orations of influence that can not be esti mated. Tho fifty or oue hundred years of our earthly stay is only a small part of our sphere. The Hap of the wing of the de stroving angel that smote the Egyptian oppressors, tho wash of tho Red Sea over the heads of the drowned Egyptians, were all fulfillments of promises four centuries old. And things occur in your life and in mine that we can not account for. They may be the echoes of what was promised in the sixteenth or seventeenth century. Oh, the prolongation of the divine memory! Notice, also that Moses was eighty yeurs of age when he got this call to become the Israciitish deliverer. Forty years he had lived iu palaces ns a prince, nuother forty years ho had lived in tbe wilderness of Arabia. Nevertheless, he undertook the work, and if we want to know whether he succeeded, ask the abandoned brick-kilns of Egyptian taskmasters, aud the splint ered chariot wheels strewn on the beach of the Red Sea. aud the timbrels which Miriam clapped for tbe Israelites passed over and the Egyptians gone under. Still further, watch this spectacle of genuine courage. No wonder when Moses scattered the rude shepherds, be won Zip porah's heart. What mattered it to Moses whether the cattle of the seven daughters of Jethro were driven from the troughs by the rude herdsmen? Sense of justice fired his courage; nnd the world wants more of the spirit that will dare almost anything to see others righted. All the time at wells of comfort, at wells of joy, at wells of re ligion, and at wells of literature there are outrages practiced, the wrong herds get ting the first water. Those who have the previous right come in last, if they come in at all. Thank God, we have here and there a strong man to set things right! I am so giad that when God has nil especial work tc do, He has some one ready to ac complish it. Still another, see in this call of Moses that if God has any especial work for you to do He will help yoti. There were Egypt and Arabia and the Pulestine with their crowded population, but the man tbeLord wanted wus at the southern point of the triangle of Arabia, and He picks him right out, the phepherd who kept the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest and sheik. So God will not find it hard to take you out from the sixteen hundred millions of the human raee if He wants you for any thing especial. O what a fascinating and inspiring char acter this Moses! How tame all other stories compared with the biography ot Ucsesl Zulu Prevent* a Disastrous Fire. The following story can be vouched for, and, in recognition of the timely action of the dog, the Alliance Assur ance Company, with whom the prem ises were insured, have awarded a sil ver medal to Zulu, fully realizing his sagacity in preventing what would otherwise have been a disastrous fite, with considerable danger to the oc cupiers of the house. Zulu, who tleeps in the basement of a large house in a fashionable quar ter of one of our largest cities, was early one Sunday morning lately roused by an outbreak of fire, which bad apparently been smouldering for some time between the floor of the dining-room and the ceiling of the room below. He, after repeatedly scratching at the bedroom door of one of the servants, succeeded in waking her. Thinking the dog must bo unwell, she *let him into her room, and got into bed again, but was not allowed to sleep, as Zulu, sitting close by her bedside, kept "talking" to her (as she describes it) so vigorously that she suspected something must be wrong. On getting up the dog appeared so delighted that she followed him out of the room, and on looking into one of the rooms discovered the ceiling burning. Upon rousing the owner of the house, who immediately had the lire alarm rung (which was fortunately close at hand), Zulu seeming to know he had done his duty, rushed upstairs, to his mistress and left the house with the children, evidently satisfied that he had fulfilled his part. On the fire brigade's arrival it was found that the tire had taken serious hold, and only required more air (which would have been given in another ten minutes by the collapse of the hearthstone, etc.) to burst into full flame in several places. The damage by heat and smoke was very great, and had air been admitted nothing could have saved the entire dwelling, as the joists between the flooring were burn ing from end to end of the room.— London Spectator. Family Hlntory of llie Weeweru.
