THE REALM Bats For Spring and Bummer. Fashionables of Paris are now b ginnlng to think of summer hats. Htraw will be, as usual, universally worn, and the novelties are very charming. Among the new ones are CREATtOS OP VELVET AND TITLLK. the effect is charming. A novel man ner of using tulle is to arrange it in layers, one over the other, until it is qnite opaque, and then either stretch it smoothly over a firm ehnpe or ar range it in the form of a beret, with the loose edges of the tnlle separnte, like the leaves of book, and each one edged with very narrow satin rib bon or row of spangles or jet nail beads. In Taris flower-trimmed bats and bonnets are already the vogue, and GIRt'8 closely plaited coarse straws in ell shades. Finely sewn straws, Pana mas, Leghorns and manillas will also be worn. The coarse straws, how 'ever, will bo deemed the most ele gant for toques and bonnets. Tulle will prove strong rival of straw daring the early part of the oawing season. Even now the new models are built of tulle and velvet. Chiffon and tnlle are also employed for deep plaited frills to soft velvet crowns, and gay blossoms will doubtless be exten sively worn in tho early spring. Large open roses ore the most fashionable. Felt bats and toquos have entire crowns made of them. As is usual in the late winter, violets are all the rage, and the provident dame is now adding a fresh note to her winter hat '. in the shape of theue delioate and beautiful flowers. MrU Coitume In Light Weight Serge. Whatever number of more elaborate and delicate frowns the crowing girl's wardrobe may inolude, one of sturdy stuff, simply made, is essential to her ' comfort and Well-being. The model shown in the donhle-oolumn illustra- ' tion, says May Manton, is of light - weight ierge in royal blue and is trimmed with fancy black braid. But 1 cheviot, oovert cloth and all the new spring suitings, as well as oaaomere, ' are equally suitable. The foundation for cue waist ts a fitted lining that oloses.at the centre back. On it are arranged the fnll .' body portions and the yoke, which is extended and divided to form slashed ' epaulette. The straight strip shown at the1 front is lined with crinoline, then applied to the waist proper, eov- ' swing the edges of full fronts. The sleeves are two-seamed and fit snugly, xoept for the slight puffs at the shoulders, which are universally worn by children and young girls. The pointed wrists are finished with frills . at laoe, and at. the throat is a high or"ar. l.i V J ia fow-ewad aad.flU r "7 r 5t the fvont aad over the ' l i ..3- at tlva back being OF FASHION. O lined throughout,. bnt nnstiffened, and is trimmed, with two rows of fancy braid. To make this costume for a girl of eight years will require two and one half yards of forty-four-inch material, Style In SiibH. ' Sashes of all kinds and conditions are well to the front In fashion, and the new ribbons are more beautiful than ever. There are Roman stripes, checks and plaids, with satin bordered edges, and flowered, corded, aud watered ribbons of all kinds. Net, ohiffon, and luce sashes will continue in favor; but it is not alone sashes for the waist that swell the list. The sashes for the neck are quite as con spicuous aud more generally worn, for all women seem to like the long silken cravats around their throats. They are made of liberty gauze, chiffon, and thin silk, or of Hwlss, with hemstitched and lace-trimmed ends. The newest of these neck sashes is a scarf of net with an elaborate lace pattern at the ends and an eilge all around. They range in price from $4 to $15, and are really very elegant. In smaller things for the neck there is an unlimited variety. Short bows and knotted cravats of pure white lawn, with knife plaited frills on the ends, are added to an array of lace knots and neck frills which are beyond description, New Material for Hprlng Wear, Among the now materials this spring are several weaves of crepon, which are not intended for anything but mourning wear. Tbey look as thonnh J part were made of crape, and then of COSTUME. shirrings of silk and wool. They are also to bo soen with a sort of blistered surface, resembling matclasseor quilt ing. They are always of a deep blaok, not a blue black, aud wear well, but are among the expensive materials. However, as they do not require muca trimming, they are not so expensive as might be thought. Konltles la Buttons. In fine buttons for bodices and jacket some handsoma novelties are shown in celluloid, jot, steel and por oelain. The latter are especially love ly, and often look like miniatures, so exquisitely are ideal heads painted upon them. 1 Latest Spring lllonee. The bloused fronts open overaplas tron of white satin or of a silk which matches ono of the colors in the plaid of the waist material. These fronts are held together by cufflinks through button boles. The revere are faced 1,111 -l.T rawa Biouaa, with the waist material or to natch the plastron. Plaids, rtripei, plain silks, checks, all are made up in this style. The back ia ia a single piece aad subtly bloated. If pteJemd it be 6wa cown v-7v THE CHRISTIAN FLAG. A distinctively Christian . flag will soon be adopted by a large number of churches throughout the oountry with out regard to denomination. Buttons on which the flag is conspicuously shown are already being worn. Last rally day at Brighton Chapel, Coney Island, a well known Christian worker bad been announced to make an ad dress. The chapel was well filled and when the time for the address had come the speaker failed to appear. The superintendent of the school, O. C. Overton, after apologizing for the absence of the speaker, was obliged to take his place. The snbjeot of his talk was "The American Flag." On the platform was a beautiful flag, 'the gift of James H. Perry Post, O. A. B. Mr. Overton dwelt upon the principles tor which the flog stood, the devotion of its followers, the loyalty, fldolity and constancy which should be shown by Christ's followers. The want of a Christian flag Impressed Mr. Overton, and as he told the writer, "tho Chris tian flag appeared to be floating in the air as I was speaking, and I gave the y Worst y ' AJlfT J.CR08BT. ! tLVt.J. . 0m ...

" The flag Is most symbolic The ground is white, representing peaoe, purity and innocenoej in the upper corner is a blue square, the oolor of the unclouded sky, emblematic of heaven, the borne of the Christian, also a symbol of faith and trust. In the centre. of the bine is the cross, the en sign and chosen symbol of Christianity the cross is red, typical of Christ's blood. Every sect of Christ's follow. ers can indorse the flag, and it ia equally applicable to all nations. It stands for no creed or denomination. Miss Fanny J, Crosby, the Christian poet, has written the words of the hymn and K. Hnntington Woodman the musio here reproduced. Neither the flog, hymn nor musio has been copyrighted and all are dedicated by Mr. Overton to the followers of Christ the world over. Brookln Eagle, ia'n.
