Better to weave In the web of lifeA Bright and golden AilingAnd to do Gods will with a ready heartAnd hands that are swift and willingThan to snap the delicate tender threadOffour curious lives asunderAnd then to blame heaven for the tangled endAnd sit and grieve and wonder Anon

IN BRIEFIn a town so interlaced with railways as

this one can hardly be ignorant of the im-

portance¬

of sufficient ballasting to maintainthe rood condition of tracks in order to in-

sure¬

the safety of the trains as it is a matier of daily observation that the roadsare regularly inspected and loads ofgravel used in the repairing

Many life lessons lie along the railwaysand may be picked up with profit In factcomfort in life is much like the smooth run-

ning¬

train the axles are oiled the tracklevel and smooth switches are plenty andthe grooved wheels fitted to rails fixed inparallel lines from which any deflectionwould mean ruin

It is much the fashion of the world tosteer at the worker in grooves and to com-

mend¬

the parabola as better than the rightline perhaps it would be a painfully pre-

cise¬

world without the eccentric but thewoi d is not likely to suffer lack and theindividual is now being considered Solong as this rounded sphere exists therewill be young people and the restlessnessand fire of youth will chafe and burn themsufficiently to force them out of the beatentracks Until thirty waste of energy islargely supplied from the fountain of youthand the vital forces do not suffer but afterthat age worry not only wears but killsand ere that time the track should be laidand tho rivers bed so chanelcd that lifewould move easily upon a settled track orflow gently along between quiet grassbor-dered

¬

banksWhile this need of evenness in life applies

to all persons it is of especial importanceto women that worry be avoided and thattheir lives after the heyday of youth ispassed be sptlrt in quiet regularity

A word of caution is appropriate at aseason when so many are leaving home forthe summer too often exchanging largoairy rooms for stuffy apartments andwholesome food for a class of cookery thatcan not be conducive to health In goingaway as well as in staying at home worrylate hours irregularities of any kind shouldbe avoided as much as is possible It isworry and dissipation that make tho crow-foot

¬

and every wrinkle is the work of thefin or of care which often might have beenturned aside A writer recently said thatit was not so much work as holidays thatmade people grow old it was vauity ambi-tion

¬

an inordinate desire to shine with theworry attendant that marred tho visageand sapped tho energy Because of thorestlessness these beget people wear outfaster from eighteen to thirtyfive thanafterward In youth they chafe at hamper-ing

¬

conditions refuse to work in groovesand often at the end find themselves losersbecause of their impatience and of their de-

parture¬

from tho rectilinear The comfort-able

¬

stage is reached when one has found arut and is willing to work in it when bring-ing

¬

cheerfulness to every task one hascoine to realize what vanity andvexation of spirit lie outside the beatentrack Tho attainment of this feelinc may-be an announcement that age is upon usbut may it not be as well an indication ofrelief from the worry fever and unrest of-

j outh an avowal that we are not rebelsagainst fate and are not seeking diversionand excitement but accept in a genuinespirit of philosophy what each day bringspeaceful and content even though onlypeace and contentment are our portionIt is true that it was tho old lady who said toyoung Anne Bullen Sweetnessof contentisour best having yet had young Anno pos-

sessed¬

the virtue thus extollod her prettyhead had not been rolled into the execu-tioners

¬

basket Tho life that flows evenlytho smooth running track may not satisfyambition but are certainly conducive tolong life to peaceful enjoyment and to theperpetuation of personal beauty a posses-sion

¬

all women strive to retain

Carlyle was a rugged Scotchman andmore of a dissccter than a surgeon yet hissharp utterances have sometimes a keen-ness

¬

that converts them into manysidedweapons For examplo when he teachesthat enlightenment should be identical withenlargement that when the mind escapesfrom the prison house of cant it should be-

come more tenderly respectful of the pre-

Judices of others It is the doctrine Paultaught when he though wiser than a weakChristian refused to eat the meat offeredto idols lost he offend his brother It is-

in good taste and in conformity with thoeverlasting law of kindness that the sensi-bilities

¬

of Christian neighbors should notbe wounded in the playing of secularmusic or indulging of noisy games on Sun-day

¬

Good form is a strong argument withmany and up to tho present time goodform discountenances such violation ofwhat may bo by some characterized asstraitlaced requirements It is also truethat young men who sneer at a refusal toengage in games or to play dance music be-

cause¬

it is Sunday will grow to respect thegirl who so refuses cither from regard to-

tho prejudices of others or from her ownconvictions of right for however lax a manmay be in his views ho can never fall solow as not to regard most highly noblequalities in a young woman

The question has been projected who wasthe greatest woman that ever lived Thequestion is too comprehensive There is awide difference between cruel Catherine IL-

of Russia who killed to suit her mood andFlorence Nightingale who saved life andrelieved suffering whenever it was possi-ble

¬

If greatness and goodness were in-

terchangeable¬

terms there would bo less dif-

ficulty¬

but if to make history to leavetheir mark and to mould destinies are beinggreat the laurel must as often rest uponthe head of a courtesan as a philanthropistin a world where goodness is not alwaysallied to minds whieh control and directhuman affairs

By a pedometer it has been ascertainedthat the ballroom belle in the course of-

twentytwo dances covers the distanco ofthirteen and a half miles Few of the belleswould or perhaps could walk half this dis-

work is better done

The languid ways of modern society donot favor the development of the tomboyand the fad of athletism is commendable inthat its tendency is to give to woman thaterect carriage and elastic tread which thotomboy unconsciously acquired by climbingafter squirrels and riding unbroken horses

Every woman can appreciate what is con-

veyed¬

in the phrase The gospel of troodgowns and there ought to be few of eithersex who are too dull to see the importanceof neat personal habits courtliness of man-

ner¬

and delicate tastes The rules thatgovern good society have reason for beingand one skilled in their interpretation mayclaim a place among artists Of course if-

an individual has nothing but manners dis-

appointment¬

must follow it is only thetrimmings without a base but the base

however substantial lacking these is unat-tractive

¬

and thus loses much of its valueRefinement seasons the dinner of herbs andas neat apparel bespeaks in the wearer adesire for the good gowning that is a gospelso good breeding evidences a faith in thegospel of love which preferreth another

CHAT ON TASIIIONFashions glass in June reflects many

charming visons the flowers and the sum-mer

¬

girls with the sweet accompaniment ofthe songs of birds are enough to mako eventhe prosaic dream of paradise with itsPeris and to desire to dwell in the softlanguorous atmosphere of so much that isbeautiful It seems as if there had neverbeen an era in dress wherein the artisticand the quaintly picturesque wore so inti-mately

¬

blended and one is continually re-

minded in the passing of pretty women ofsome old engraving of the scenes at SansSouci or the Little Trianon Women whoare remote from largo fashion centers maysafely copy the designs of that period andthus appear in fashionablo costumes Inpurchasing material no mistake is possiblein light colored tissues such as fine printsgrenadines chailies and anything resem-bling

¬

pineapple or China silk fabricsZephyr ginghams and chambroys are tooserviceable to fall into desuetude and forthis reason are sought after by merchantsand customers It is said that in wovenwash fabrics imitation mohair effects arethe latest fad and are very handsome in-

appearanco and in general characteristicsas yet these have not reached Southernmarkets but our women will be on thealert for them as soon as they come InChina silks brown is tho popular color al-

though¬

heliotrope combinations aro muchsought after and apple green with black isconsidered stylish by French modistes

Quiet dark China silks in small figuresare worn on short journeys These havethe bell skirt and the coat basque in thosimplest style The summer girl is usuallya bird of passage and however gay herplumage when not in transitu she must ifshe would be correct adopt more sombercolors for the flitting Traveling gownsshould be of light weight and cool linedwith percaline and on tho journey thebodice exchanged for a light blouse of silkflannel or percale The material ought to-

bo one that does not easily wrinkle or showdirt and that shakes the dirt Sheer home-spun

¬

s and cheviots for traveling are madewith a plain fitting skirt with the hem out-

lined¬

with two rows of stitching the oldhorror of an even number of rows of trim-ming

¬

having disappeared The sleoves arestitched and fastened with two buttons atthe wrists The coat basque has a vest ofsilk or plain cloth and long tapering revers-of the dress goods

June brides dressing something a littlemoro elaborate in the traveling gown mayselect mixed homespun or mohair and haveit trimmed with bengaline faille or satinvests and revers in Louis XV style Manyof tho cheviot and mohair dresses in thestylish light shades are finished with anedging of jet gimp or large jet nailheadsand a vest of black satin duchesse or blackbrocaded with a bright color Tho skirt is-

bellshaiied and tho bodice has a drapedvest front and coat tabs

The coat is a convenient appendage to atraveling costume it is of plain shapedoublebreasted and worn with a chemisette-of linen and a foulard cravat The edgesare all stitched the buttons are of pearl orhorn and the skirt is of the sheath shapewith a stitched hem

Not only does tho coat fit the travelerbut it is also a handsome addition to thehouse toilet Black grenadine a favoritematerial is much relieved of mourning ef-

fect¬

by a coat of figured china silk wornwith a skirt of the grenadine The grena-dine

¬

gown gains stateliness by being madeover satin and trimmed with jet Thesleeves should be of satin only with jetornaments to cover them the fleared collarand girdle to be of jet finished with grace-ful

¬

pendantsIn the simpler summer gowning China

silk plays a conspicuous part A homedress is a la mode when made with a plainskirt edged with a plaited ruche highsleeves a pojnted bodico cut in a small Vand a belt and wristlets of velvet Withthis is worn a fichu of black chiffon frillsThis is exceedingly modish when em-

broidered¬

with yellowThis is tho era of lace so great has been

tho demand that even tho manufacturersare put to their utmost to supply it whilemany of the retail dealers find their stockexhausted before midseason and old chestsare being searched for heirlooms in oldlaces that shall serve to furbish up newdresses Lacosarewominbonnetsanduponhats the matron wears it with ties andbows of black velvet jet ornaments and deli-

out in China silk silk passementerie andcrepon

The skirt hangs plain in front with a fanback and Jabots on the sides that are linedwith the brocade and are part of the drapedpieces starting from the clasp fastening thejacket of brocade The bodice is slightlypointed and has a girdle of steel effectsmatching the broochclasp with similarclasps catching the crepe over sleeves thatfall below the close ones of brocade Thocollar is pointed in front in gorget fashion

In simpler fashion for cotton or a lightwoolen goods is a gown made with a roundwaist sufficiently long to tuck beneath theskirt belt and fitted over a close liningopening in the back with nine to thirteenrows of shirring imitating a yoke back andfront The fullness is then gathered at thecenter of the waist lino leaving the sidesplain The round skirt is hemmed andshirred in several rows at the belt Thesleeves are fully gathered at the shouldersand top of cuffs Velvet ribbon forms thetrimming which may be varied to suit thetaste

What is known as the peasant bodice isvery pretty for young girls their costumingbeing of the simplest Where two materialsaro used the lower part is made of tho skirtmaterial and is closely fitted to the figureby darts making points back and front andat the top and bottom The upper part ofthe bodice is of soft silk falling away fromthe neck and gathered softly into the corsetbelow The entire bodico is made on onelining and fastens under the arm

Then there is the blouse or shirt waistfor all ages and these are here to stay Soclosely are these two garments allied thatit would take an export in discrimination totell the one from the other As a rulehowever the blouse has more garniturearound the neck and down the front thantho shirt waist They come in all kinds ofmaterials silk wool cotton or linen and inall colors known to the dyers art Forcomfort they are unequalled and are wornby my lady as well as her maid Theymay be worn with or without a jacket asthe wearer dictates

The disposition of skirt and waist to partcompany is now obviated by the use of thegirdle belt which laces in front and on thesides and points down in the back in thesame way as in front From this girdle

galluses but very feminine ladylikelooking ones pass over the shoulder cross-ing behind and fasten to the girdle beltNow inasmuch as the dress skirt is sewedto the girdle and then buttoned to tho waistthere can como no rift withm the lute todivorce that skirt and waist

NOTES

Fruit forms the basis of many of the newbonnets

Imported black nets show lovers knotsin black and gold-

Ever3thing which can be trimmed withlace is thus adorned

Tho rather ancient fashion of wearing achain of gold dollars at ones wrist is beingrevived

Now black lace dresses are made of ma-terial

¬

similar to that used for veils andwhile unmistakably novel cannot be recom-mended

¬

as durableLight colors are chosen for tennis gowns

this season pale blue lavender or whitebrightened by a contrasting color or variedwith stripes or accessories of some darkershade

The shirt waists made like mens whichwere so popular last year and the year be-

fore¬

are no longer a part of a young lady3wardrobe They are still sometimes seenbut it is not considered good taste to wearthem

The newest bodices have the backs cut intwo pieces only a seam down the middleand the small side pieces abolished Thesabacks are cut on the bias but it requires askillful hand to make them set well Theyare made over a lining cut in the ordinaryway

Shade hats in straw aro of chip fancybraid Neapolitan or Leghorn brims as arule are turned up at the back or bent fanci-fully

¬

and flowers are massed at the backfrom thence falling over the crown thoughsometimes they appear also below thebnm

The oddest thingg among the novelties forsummer evening dress are the dross coatbodices These aro cut precisely like amans dress coat except that the sleevesaro set in full at the shoulders They havetails and are straight at the waist and havewide lapels

The newest fans are vividly bright withbutterflies filmy winged insects flutteringfrom ivory stick to ivory stick and on thegauze mounts other insects are embroideredor painted Uniquo in their way are fanson which sprays of white lilac are laid inlace applique

The most useful dress for summer jour-neys

¬

and for general wear is a plainly madetailor gown of homespun or cheviot of light-weight in beige or bluegray shade or elseof the rough surfaced striped wools in grayand white with slight mixture of coloryellow blue or brick red

The snake craze is still rampant in jew-elry

¬

and if one has no prejudice againstreptiles one cannot fail to regard them asappropriate forms for bracelets necklacesand girdles The serpents are made ofpliable metal with an enameled head dia-mond

¬

eyes and ruby tongue

Never has lace been so much worn Everyfourth woman one meets has a deep fringeof Chantllly blowing up from about her dra-peries

¬

We have berthes and basques vo-lants

¬

and tabliers made of lace We havedraperies and blouses and little paniors-slashings ruchings ruffs bows and bunches

all of white and black laces The effect ischarming

HOUSEHOLDIt is a good thing once in a while at-

leastto count the merciesand this is partic-ularly

¬

beneficial to the housekeeper whoamid many vexations is apt to forget thather lines are often cast in pleasant placesand is prone to ignore the fact that thehousekeeper of today doing her own workgranting her all the annoyances that arewell known has less of actual labor thandid the majority of housekeepers who reallydid their own work in tho days of oldDoing ones own work even in Fort Worthdoes not mean all it would seem to implyand in older places the work entailed uponthe housekeeper is reduced to a minimumThe manufacture of prepared food thesewing machine and tho occasional jobberwho comes into the house are helpsthat in grandmothers time were unknown

as the majority of rirls who married inher day were expected to spin to weave tosew and to knit to make all confections to-

bo skillful in curing meats and in what-ever

¬

was needed to give variety to thebill of fare during winter months Notonly was the wife to provide for thewants of the well but provision must bemade for any possible case of ill-

ness¬

herbs were to be dried andunguents prepared to meet emergenciesNow the thrifty housekeeper who is econ-

omizing¬

does nothing of this kind The gro-

cer¬

and the druggist the seamstress andthe tailor do for her in all these lines andit is rare that she cannot find some one tolift the burden of the heavier work per-taining

¬

to housekeeping But with all theseBids tb i necessity of capable planning is not

iMii MMMkZLr

lessened Perhaps the rarest quality in-

womans makeup is good executive abilityWithout this in a household thingsgangnot oft aglee but usually gang that gaitIt is just cause for thankfulness thatwomans lot is growing easier yearly butthis is onlyso when in the home she fullyrealizes that she is head not hands andfeet The knowledge most needed andwhich is not commonly found is to knowhow to direct work not only is such knowl-edge

¬

of value to the possessor but its in-

trinsic¬

value to the members of a house-hold

¬

cannot be over estimated The nota-

ble¬

housekeeper is apt to be the cross tiredmother and the fretful disappointed wifeand to be surrounded by a selfish familywho have never had their daily duties al-

lotted¬

them nor been made to do them Inthis way the evil is perpetuated an over-

indulged son who has not been taught toserve becomes an exacting husband andthe daughter comes to her mission as wifeand mother unqualified and therefore rebellious against the responsibility thatcomes at the same time

However well a vessel may be equippedit is a poor sailer without sufficient ballastand a wellfurnished house freighted withits precious cargo of human souls is in dan-

ger¬

of shipwreck without the ballast that awoman of clear brain and executive abilitywill furnish Tho worry and the hurrythat wears a woman much more than workwill be largely overcome by woman whenshe learns to wisely plan her days workand in patience await its doing by her chil-dren

¬

and servants although more time may-

be consumed and less skill evinced Bringsystem and good nature into the home andthere will be less room for carking care andfor days of irritation and disappointmentAs these words have been somewhathomeletie tho writer may be excused forclosing by an injunction Sisters do notfret nor hurry especially in the summer
