But still my human hands are weak
To hold your iron creeds:
Against the words ye hid me speak
My heart within me pleads.
Ww fathoms the Liernal Thought?
Who talks of scheme and plan ?
The Lord is God. 1 le needeth not
The poor device of man.
1 walked with bare, hushed feet the ground
We tread with boldness shod;
1 dare not fix with mete and bound
The love and power of God.
Ye praise His justice; even such
His pitying love I deem:
Ye seek a king; I fain would touch
The robe that hath no seam.
Ye see the curse which overbroods
A world of pain and loss;
I hear our Lord's beatitudes
And proyer upon the cross.
I dimly guess from blessings known
Of greater out of sight,
And, with the chastened Psalmist, own
His judgments too are right.
I long for household voices gone,
For vanished smiles I long,
But God hath led my dear ones on.
And He can do no wrong.
I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone thai life and death
His mercy underlies.
And so beside the Silent Sea
I wait the muffled oar,
No harm from I lim can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know 1 cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.

IF you wish to busy yourself pre
paring for tho coming Hprin? and
n mm of vmi nti hit itwuiiri'il t tho '
success of certain new stylos m ad
vance. It ta wine to b ready for the
seanon which lures ua out of doora,
and to make tho most or It.
Here Is the sweet eat of Bumnior
gowns, made of stlk muslin and luce
with a tlcbu and a h It of satin rib-
boa. Similar icowua are on display j
made or a variety of materials. There !
are embroidered cotton crepes, first
of all. Netu, with tloiiuees edged with
lace, embroidered crepo do chine and i
voiles Hut always laee uud more lace, j
Point d'esprlt net Ih found very una
ful and fine flowered voiles, lawns nnd j
batiste. 1
AmuDg the handsomest of gowns :
are those of w hite net Allowing llou no
lugs uf the not edged with narrow
black chantttly lace. Others of sheer
cotton crepe with fold of black malliie
laid under the edge of flouncings.
Much hand embroidery appears on
the gowns of crepe, voile, etc. Put
It Is of a kind that does not try the
eyes. Ltong sprays of flowers of mod
erate size like the carnation, for ex
ampleare done with heavy floss In
long bold stitches. The effect Is beau
tiful. The gowns are In white or
pale colors. White la th loveliest,
and the light colored underslfp with a
lace-trimmed petticoat of net worn
under these gowns is beautiful.
It would .he hard to find a simpler
or prettier model than that shown iu
the picture, for a flounced gown. Tua
design, too, Is appropriate to older
women, us well us to lit-' youi ti 1 tit
wearer. In fact, tli- dilTerenen lu
flounced gowns for young ur older
wearers Is discernible in lliii.li.un
touches, rather than lu design lite
foundation skirts ure plain nnd
straight. Tho Ilounues tuo adjust. -d
In differing poses. Sometimes, uh iu
the gown pictured, th.-y sa toward
the buck, but In a good number (his
is reversed and they rise toward the
back.
The uaiBt Hue is about tin1 normal
In most of them While waists ure
draped, lhe.se are Mil lu sleevert an
well as drop shoulder and kmiono ef
feets. Hihbom are conspicuous, and
tho 'tango" shades, warm nasturtium
yellows, ure apt 'daily liked.
Almost anyone who makes any pre
tentions to sewing, or has any faith
In her own ability, can put together a
flounced dress, The trick seems to bu
In ndjubilng tho flowers at the right
slope, with even fullness, and In not
getting them too full.
The three flounced skirt, having the
flounces shaped, Is displayed for heav
ier fabries, and is wonderfully attrac
tive. There Is a world of light, airy fab
rics, fascinating in design, and a world
of filmy laces, moderate in price, so
that tho flounced gown has a pleasant
future before it. Limp fabrics aro
chosen that fall to the figure, so that
flounces do not mean bulklness. That
Is tabooed, and is likely to remain bo

waahiibie ribbons are always a nec
essary part of their construction. Al
together the undergarments now on
display In the great stores have all
been much Influenced by this UUiuw
for airy fabrics and the craze tor
lacea.
As In outer garments, under muelius
are cut with easy lines, to haMr
gracefully, not to 'fit" the tigute.
Whatever one may think of tho dia; i
anotifi materials, it mut b" eoncod. A
that the present style? nrc exception
ally graceful.
Thin muslins, nainsooks, and
cambrics make up the body of tho
garments. Much beading is used to
carry th ribbons which make gay the
eevera! pieces.
In tho ruidht of winter, when eve
nings aro long and dnys are most
comfortably ppent in the house, un
derwear for tli coming summer
should be made up. In fact, the bulk
of the summer sewing can be done
long before the clothes are needed.
Spring goods are on display In Jan
uary, and by the first of February
styles for the coming spring and sum
mer are fairly well settled.
A ni;ht dress of cambric and Val
laco is shown la the picture.
The yoke and very short sleeves
are In one and made of Val in
sertions. There aro two patterns
of lace, tho rows sewed togeth
er. The kimono sleeve portion may
be lengthened by adding rows of
insertion. A narrow edging fin
ishea tho opeuing at the neck, and
a wider edge in the same pattern tin
Ishes tiie sleeves.
Tho rows of lace may be "whipped"
together, that 1b, sewed edge to edge
with a short overcast stitch, or sewed
ou tho machine
Tho yoke Is Joined to the skirt of
the gown by a narrow band of em
broidered beading. Through this a
rl'otiuu lt rjii, v.liUli tics at tlic front
in a small bow This ribbon serves
to adjust the gown to the figure.
For Buch pretty night robea, sepa-
rate bows and rosettes of ribbon are
' provided They are to be pinned on
I with ery small safety pins. Little
rosettes for the top of the sleeves,
i matching the other ribbons, but
without hanging ends, may be added
