SPRING AND SUMMER FABRICS. ■Green Will Be the Dominant Tint of the Season's Fashions. Green promises to be the color o£ the coming spring anil summer, anil the color cartls Issued by the Importers anil manufacturers of summer dress stuffs show this fresh tint in several ■exquisite shades. Many of the fab ' rics now being shown in the shop 3 have stripes or figures in black and wbite-black-and-green combinations are delightfully crisp and effective. Trimmed with black velvet ribbon, black lace, or even with touches of a contrasting color, they make very smart gowns. The shops are exhibiting their stock of wash gowns now, but more as models of what the new fabrics wi'l look like when made up than as a re sult of a demand for airy frocks. Some of the new thin fabrics have a "trimmed" effect In texture and pat tern. For instance, one spider-web weave is fortified by varied corded effects that rise from the surface of the fabric, lending "body" to the dia phanous stuff and considerably en riching its appearance. Although of modest price, tills fabric ingeniously counterfeits the costly French stuffs in which real tace is inserted in the process of weaving. In various colors, with the simulated lnsertings in white sometimes outlined in black—this tissue is exceedingly effective. This simulated lusertion Idea is re produced in the dimities, too, and a particularly pretty one has a china blue ground, strewn with white dots of different sizes. Inch-wide stripes, three inches apart, are of white, dotted or figured with black, giving the effect of delicate lace insertions. This pat tern is also seen In coral pink, mauve •and gray. Batistes show grounds of solid and rather dark colors—purples, blues and rose, as well as black-and-white— with small figures in white or black and white. American percales with a "cloth finish" are handsome. They come in nil colors and combinations and in strikingly beautiful designs. One of these has a French-Persian effect —a blue ground with a scroll pattern of black and white, which serves as a base for stiff little flowerets in bright pink. Another percale has a white ground with tiny blue squares scattered over it. It Is striped with a broad bar of purple-green and white. A third pat >. tern has a Chinese pink ground with groups of white dots encircled by rims of black, and medallions enclosing quaint mauve and pink flowerets on a white surface. Mercerized grenadines with silk stripes and simulated lace insertions come In delightful color effects, uotahly fine stripes set In groups. Figured and striped Swiss muslins, madras and chain bray In clear, bright tints are shown In new patterns, and soft silks with dull or satin finish are striped with thick cords, making them hang well, wear well and look rich and soft.—New York Commercial Ad vertiser. "To Train Up the Child." At the meeting of an education as sociation In a Boston suburb, the speaker—a member of the State Board of Education—took up the subject of moral training In the home and the school. Bis three special points were Hint Implicit obedience should be ex acted, that appeal should bo made ;o the child's reason, even when young, to develop u sense of honor, and that solf-control should be taught "Fortunately, the old Idea that a •child's will must be broken Is going out of use', anil It is high time it did," said the speaker. "The ideal now is that the child should be taught how to make Ills will bis own. In home life as well as in school It Is better to put children upon their honor, rather than subject them to many rules. By far the greatest drawback to development In obedience, sense of honor and self conti'ol arises from thoughtless and lax conditions In home life." The remainder of the talk was chiefly on "Don'ts." "Don't force the child's mind; there is n time for everything. Don't indulge him on one i occasion and deprive him on another, i without good reason. Don't decide everything for him; leave something to his budding judgment. Don't re prove him before outsiders, thereby wounding his keen sensitiveness. Don't fall to recognize his Ideals children's Ideals are very high. Above all, don't nag him. And, lastly, don't expect too much of the little child whom you have dared to bring Into this world, and whose whole future life may be blighted by the mistakes of your careless hands. Use for his development all the wisdom that pa tience and thought and love can sug gest." Shirt Waist Belts. The shirt waist belt is a thing that demands attention, for it is a thing apart, like the stock. Belts spring up every day, and are every day burled and forgotten In the depths of lime. La Mode's castaways, hut they come to light again, anew, enjoying another 0 existence. The belt which at this very second holds the centre of the world's ntten tlon, that part of It which Is interer'ed tylxt the season's shirt waist. Is the one that has two buckles, one In the mid dle of the front and one In the middle of the back. This may be a shaped belt, but It must be shaped by some one who understands the bow and wherefore. The buckle In the back, In the case of the belt with two buckles, Is the one that Is for show. It Is slldilen upon a ribbon, and takes its place in the middle of the baclt. It may be one of those long, narrow buckles which make the waist look so lengthy and slender, or it may be a more up-to-date thing. ( One of the very newest of the back of-the waist buckles looks like three buckles—and, Indeed, It is three, fas tened underneath In some way. Visi ble there are three circular buckles caught In buckle fashion through the silk. They may be in pearls, which are so pretty, or In steel, which is so fashionable, or In silver, which is a fad with so many women. The Every-Day Child. The mother alms at perfection fot her child without realizing what per fectlon in the child should be. Toe often the fond parent feels that thi dress makes the- child, and conse quently adorns it In the latest and showiest fashion, without realtzinj that harm Instead of good is done tc the child by hampering its actions 01 making it over-conscious. The every day child will revel in dirt It aceum ulates it by satisfying its curiosity, for its hands are into everything, ai well as Its feet and knees and clothes lie must get nearer to Mother Eartli His instinct is unerring in this respect and his good nurse repays him a thou sand fold. Dr. Grace Peekham Mur ray, in the Delineator, says mothers should encourage the mud i>ie making and sand digging, and the dress and clothing should lie such that the child would not be reproved for muddy shoes, soiled and torn dresses. Cascades For the Boa. Cascades of ruchings in mousseline de sole, Liberty silk or chiffon are graduated in bias lines of width from the chin to the knees. These cascades are the flnish to a fluffy boa, and are at present much preferred to the long, straight stole ends, accordion-pleated or plain. The softness of these plisse boas makes them universally becom ing, except perhaps to the woman who has no neck to speak of. Even then the mousseline boa is apt to be becom ing to Uer countenance. It softens the severity of an elderly face. la Brown uml Gold. A good example of a tailor costume that relies on cut and outline rather than superfluous trimming for its style. Is in mouse-brown cloth, with lines of thick black chenille cord stltcbeil down with gold thread on skirt and bodice. The top of the skirt has a narrow shaped yoke piece embroidered In black and gold. The revers and waistband are of modore velvet, the revers and skirt edged with a narrow band of vison. A double row of gold buttons fastens the bodice. Pretty things In mercerized ging hams are to be seen In pale bine with woven rings In the materials. A most distinguished looking waist for wear on dressy occasions is com posed of pink mousseline de sole and all over embroidery m a deep creatn shade. An attractive hair ornament is n rosette of white mnllne or tulle, dotted with black and sliver, and rising from it two white wings, the upper edge touched with black. Tiny Ivy leaves formed Into a wreath with a spray of the leaves raised at the front and the whole touched here and there with crystal dew drops, Is a pretty ornament for the hair. Some petticoats are made entirely of tucked silk. The tucking on the skirt proper runs up anil down and on the flounce around. The flounce Is further trimmed with ruchlags of the silk and applications of lace. One of the new spring foulards Is in a stTiking design of various sized dots on a cream ground. The large dots, about the size of a quarter, are Inter mingled with smaller dots In black. The same pattern Is nlso carried out in lavender and black on a white background Waists for peoplo who like plaiils are in a tiny design, some in a bright red anil others in a bright green, old fashioned plaids of some Inexpensive muslin and simply made. The greens are more attractive If nnythtng than the red, but It Is doubtful if the color washes well. Many pretty hatpins are being made out of those old earrings -which most people are burdened with and regard only as a superfluity; small cameos set In gold, onyx, or cornelians only re quire a strong pin attached to them to turn them Into useful as well as orna mental hatpins. More shirt walst9 out and very lit tle new to say about them. There are the same old styles, tucked yokes, yokes where the tucks run the full length of the vrnlst In two groups on the two sides, one on either side of the front and another a little distance from that. There are box-pleated yokes and yokes to waists buttoned In the back which are tucked and have applications of heavy lace—these are white waists—small pieces of it set on at the lower edge of the yoke and at the base of the collar. There Is a lit tle more on the sleeves. TIBET'S STRANGE RULER PILGRIMS RECEIVED DAILY BY THE MYSTERIOUS GRAND LAMA. The First Detailed* Description of the Ceremonial—The Head of the Buddlilst Faith Seems Always to Die in Ills Youth—Only Buddhists See Ilim. A great deal of mystery has always surrounded the personality of the Dalai Lama of Tibet. Hundreds of pilgrims from Tibet, Mongolia and China aro permitted every day to pay homage to him, but any unbe liever who should attempt to enter his presence would do so at the risk of his life. A Buddhist priest of Ivnlmuk origin and a subject of Russia has at last had the temerity to write an account of his reception by the Grand Lama. This man, whose name is Baza- Bakchi, made the pilgrimage to Lhasa about three years ago from bis borne near Astrakhan, at the north end of the Cuspian Sea. The Pantshen Lama is theoretically the spiritual successor of the great founder of the faith, but practically the Dalai Lama has the supremacy, owing to his residence at the capital. He is called the great king, while the other Grand Lama is known us the great teacher. Somehow or other, the Dalai Lama always dies young. At least, no writer who has ever visited Lhasa has ever spoken of him as anything more than a boy. Colonel Holdicli has said that the Dalai Lamas of Tibet are invariably children, and that they die as those die whom the gods love. Manning, who visited Lhasa in ISII in the guise of a Hindu doctor, said the Dalai Lama was a wpll educated, princely child about seven years old. It is a curious fact that Buza- Bakclii, the latest observer to see the Dalai Lama, fails to describe the ap pearance of the boy who is now in that exalted position; he compensates for this strange omission, however, by giving the first details yet pub lished of the ceremony of presenta tion at the daily receptions which this Grand Lama gives to the pilgrims who are constantly flocking to the holy city. When Baza-Bakehi was in Lhasa the Dalai Lama was not in his famous temple-palace on the sacred hill of Potala, for he had gone to his summer palace, Norbu-Lluka, a charming abode in the midst of a park a few miles west of Lhasa. Thither the stream of pilgrims was pouring and the ceremony of presentation there is said to be identical with that at Totala. The quaintness of Buza-Bakelii's short necount can scarcely be repro duced from the Russian version from which tile following has been trans lated for tho Sun. As far as known It is the only report of the Kalmuk narrative that has yet been turned into English: 1 "The Dalai Lama," writes Bnza- Bakchi, "receives, every day, all the pilgrims who have arrived in the holy city to pay him their homage. The audiences are usually given at 9 o'clock in the moruiug, everybody from the nobles to the common peo ple being privileged to nttend. "At the time appointed for the nudlence the Dulni Lama enters the large hall and takes his seat on a throne that is about five feet in height. As soon as he is seated about 200 functionaries, half of them officials In the Government aßd half monks from the monasteries, take their places, a hundred to the right and a hundred to the left of the throne. "Then the pilgrims and other de votees, who liuve been formed lu line outside, begin to file into the hall, passing up between the lines of at tendants to tile throne where ench in his turn stands face to face with the llolai Lama. "Guards, who are very conspicuous for their tall stature, enter the hull on cither side of the line of pilgrims. The guards are provided with long whips and It Is their duty to prevent anything unseemly from occulting. "Tho Dalai Lama makes a dis tinction between the pilgrims accord ing to the value of the presents they bring him. Those who come without any gift receive Indeed the benediction as well as the others hut they depart without the special honors conferred upon those who bring gifts. Some offer gold, silver or copper plate en graved with u design of the universe in accordance with Buddhistic ideas; others may offer a silk scarf cr only a little tea or rice. "It was on the morning of the third day of the month of the dog that I went out from Lhusa to Norhu-Llnka. I found the pilgrims already assembled to the number of 300 or 400. "I was introduced into the hall he fore most of *llOlO for my hands were full of presents. I was escorted in front of the throne on which was seated the Dalai Lama. My attend ant told me to kneel and salute the great king by touching my forehead three times to tho floor. "After I had done so I arose and presented the gold plate which the Dalai Lnina deigned to accept with his own hands. He immediately passed It on to a tenant who was standing quite near. "I added to this offering the follow ing articles, ench of which the great king received and passed on to the servant; a bourkehone (nu image of the Lamanlte divinity), a sacred book, a sourbourgnu ( a commemorative medal), 1.5 lans of white silver (nliout ?5) and a gold coin of our own Rus sian Czar. Then I ( waited to receive bis blessing and the great king deigned to place bis hands on my head in token of the benediction. V'Theli I was escorted a little to the right where stood a pilgrim who had preceded me. A monk held out his hand to me which I kissed; another was braiding pieces of yellow and red silk which he sanctilied with his breath and gave to us. "Then the ether pilgrim and myself were placed beforo the Dnlul Lama again and were honored with being permitted to taste the tea and rice of which he had partaken. This ended the ceremony as far as we were con cerned." This boy before whom the Kalmuk priest had prostrated himself is ac knowledged as the head of the Buddhist Church throughout Tibet, Mongolia and China. He has no supremacy, according to rrofessov Rhys Davids, over ins coreligionists In Japan, and even in China there nre many Buddhists who are practically not under his control or influence. The same authority tells how the Grand Laina is chosen. When either the Pantshen Lama or the Dalai Lama dies, it is necessary for the sur vivor to determine in whose body the celestial being whose outward form has been dissolved, has been pleased again to incarnate himself. For that purpose the names of all the male children born just alter the death of the deceased Grand Lama, are laid before the survivor. He chooses three out of the whole num ber; their names are thrown into a golden casket provided for that pur pose by a former Emperor of China. The abbots of the great monasteries then assemble, and after a week of prayer, the lots are drawn in their presence and in tlie presence of the surviving Grand Lama and of the Chinese political resident. The child whose name is first drawn is the future Grand Lama; the two others receive each of them GOO pieces of silver and are returned to their pa rents.—Sun. ".Lifting the King." One of the picturesque English cor onation ceremonies which have been discontinued Is that of lifting the king. In the old days the monarch always slept at the Palace of West minster on the night before the cor onation. The regalia, which are still, technically speaking, in the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, were brought by them to Westminster Hall in preparation for the ceremony. These were arranged on a long table, the crown, the sceptre, the spurs, and so on. Tile king, when he descended from the pnlace to Westminster Hull, was lifted by his nobles on to a mar ble chair, by the way, which perished in the ruins of the houses of parlia ment when they were burned sixty or seventy years ago. The lifting of the king into tills chnir was a survival of the old Saxon custom of carrying the king on his shield. The custom survived up to the time of the coronation of George IV. When the monarch was sealed in the chair he at once directed by point ing his linger which of his nobles should carry the various parts of the regalia to the Abbey, and the proces sion began. —London Tattler. Won a Case With a Poem. "I once won a case with one of James Whlteomb Itiley's poems," says Congressman Brick, of Indiana, who Is a lawyer, "and so I stand for him. I was defending a man charged with stealing silk, and it looked so had for liim-that I decided on an ap peal to the Jury. I did the best I could with the evidence; but I hanked most on the fact that the defendant was a young mnn with n wife mid child, and that It would go hard for nil of them to have him go to the penitentiary for a term of years. My whole argument led up to the point where I closed with Riley's little poem, 'Back from a Two Years' Sen tence.' When I tinished the jury wne In tears, and even the judge and the attorney for the prosecution were af fected. The Jury took Just one ballot, and returned a vordict of not guilty." Women Prefer Surface Cars. Surface traction is for women. They will not climb stairs up or down if I hey can stay on earth. The men will go up or down or anywhere to get away from the women pussengors, so that they will not have to read newspapers seven times over to avoid seeing women to whom they should give their seats. When the under ground is completed It will be a good thing for the men of New York, who can tind plenty of room over the earth or under It in the cars, as the women will stick to the surface roads just the same.—New York Press.
