FOR COUNTRY RIDING.
A Smart OatSt of Black and White
Plaid for t be DarlBK W ood

The cotume of thl woodland cy
cllenne i worthy a parajrraph in the
most conaervative of faahion articles.
It i apecially adapted for long spins
through ahady groves and also for
rough-and-tumble riding.
It is developed in lightweight Scot
tish goods trimmed with bands of
bright silk poplin, which in their turn
are finished with narrow strips of
braid. The writer recalls one partic
ular woodland cycling suit of royal
brown pluidcd with Prussian blue and
a generous tracing of crimson.
The skirt was the ideal rniny-day
length, very flaring at the hem and
close-fltting about the hips. The full
ness was laid in plnita at the back.
Around the foot was a plain band
trimming of white brilliantine headed

with an Inch-wide band of Prussian
blue silk braid.
The waist had a blouse effect, front
and back, and was box plaited, the front
plaits being overlaid with bands of
brilliantine like that which embelllBbed
the skirt. The collar was high, finished
with a narrow linen niching, and the
sleeves, which were full enough to al
low perfect freedom to the arms, were
plain, relying upon their neat finish for
VhoVrbtauty. '- sS
With the woodland cycling suit a
short white sailor was worn with a
curled quill and band to match the suit.
GEMS POSSESS LIFE.
IaclonlBfc Them la Their Caaea aad
OtTlaa; Them a Beat Adda
to Their Laater.
Real Jewels, scientists now assert,
r..a organic life. It has long been
known that opals and pearls grow dull
when worn by in-alids, and latterly
rubies und the turquoise are found to
ebare the same sensibility. Pearls are
more indicative of the condition of tlie
wearer than nny other gem. Though
this delicate stone lives longer than a
flower, it seems to have a form of life,
which, like that of the flower, loses
color and brilliancy and actually does.
Nor is this property unfounded in rea
son. Science has lat terly learned much
concerning gems and their Influence
in the propagation of health and dis
ease. Those invisible emanations which
surround the person wearing gems
penetrate the interstices of the jewel
and actually increase or decrease its
brilliancy. The inference is a true one
that rings and pins should be laid aside
by the invalid. Even in good health, it
is better to give them an occasional
rest. To inclose them in their cases and
put them away is to insure an access
of luster. Even clothint xhould be
treated to rest. It freshens up won
derfully the frock or wrap, todhateaad

closet. Good Housekeeping.
The Week Chala la Gne.
Dcfinitelr the chain is g. Too
exent oonularitv killed it. In its place
the bangle ventures to put forth, but
the result is in doubt, and by determin
edly putting off their watches women
have ceased to make themselves the
slaves of time. In truth, never was so
little jewelry wojn as in this summer
of grace, and the fancy for oriental pat
terns is as marked as ever. At night
in the coiffure very charming wreaths
of small, clear green enameled leaves,
ivy, myrtle, laurel, bay and grape foli
age, fasten among puffs and braids, and
sometimes a row of leaves forms the
top edging for a tucking comb.
Cotton FIanlasTS Are I'sefal.
For some time the special value of
cotton fabrics for country house serv
ice as hangings and draperies has been
known. Their growing excellence In
manufacture, which has brought dv
sign and finish almost to perfection,
baa promoted theae fabrics to quite
general town house use. The fact that
moths pay n attention to them makes
them popular with housekeepers. It
would, perhaps, be o surprise to one
who has not glyen the matter recent at
tention to discover what excellent e
fecta can be produced In hnngings, fur
niture coverings and even rugs that are
made of cotton. ; .,

nil" who are oppressed, as the an
tion had been in exile, are made the
subjects of Jehovah's just deliverance.
Personal blessing is only a purt of the
experience that calls for gratitude.
Righteousness and judgment, literally,
righteousnesses and judgments, on
many occasions, have been experienced.
"He will not always chide," for His an
ger is not unrensonlng, to be kept for
ever, but It is just and lasts only so long
as the sinner isobstinate In his sin. "Not"
(even) "according to our sins" has (iod
punished us; every sinner rightly feeli
that the pardon he receives is not de
served; even if lie repents, his past sia
can be forgiven only by free grace.
13-18. "As a father:" Nocomparison
is more common eitlier in the Old or
the New Testament. He "pitieth" us,
for, as our Creator (Gen. 2:7), God re
members how He Himself made us,
"our frame," literally, "our fashion
ing," being of dust. Such a body is
like the grass and flowers of Pales
tine, that wither in an hour if struck
by some suiWen hot wind from the
deserts. The wind passes over a green
field, and "it is gone" suddenly, and
the life of man is like this. In Contrast,
the "loving kindness" of Jehovah is
from everlasting to everlasting, and
His "righteousness," or promise-keeping
truth. His mercy, to all who "keep
His covenant:"
19-22. Such mercy is consistent with
the power of God. For "His throne"
is established in the heavens, so far
ubove all earthly power that it can
nevpr be successfully assailed, and It is
thl seat of such wisdom that He infal
libly executes justice and determines
When He may rightly forgive.
The slight that can be conveyed in a
glance, in a gracious smile, in a wave of
