UNBELIEF.
BULWER.
There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants a teed beneath the sod
And waits to see it push away the sod
He trusts In God.
Whoever says, when clouds are fa the
sky,
"Be patient, heart; light breaketh by
and by,"
Trusts the most high.
Whoever sees 'neat h winter's field of
snow.
The silent harvest of the future grow.
God's power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to
sleep, "
Content to lock each sense in slumber
deep.
Knows God will keep.
Whoever sayt: "To-morrow," -The un
known," ,
"The Future" trusts that power alone
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on
wben the eye-
lids close,
And dares to live when
life has only
woes,
God's comfort knows.
There is no unbelief;
And day by day, and night unconsciously
The heart lives by that faith the lips
deny
God knoweth why.
SUNDAY SELECTIONS.
To eive heartfelt praise to

It was made of bronze faille and was em
broidered with bronze and gold beads.
Wide Russian guipure was arranged to fall
like a cape over the arm, while the upper
edge formed a niching across the top of the
shoulder. A breadth of the lace was also
gathered in at the neck in front, falling in
plain folds some distance below the waist.
There was a high flaring collar. With this
garment was worn a tiny bonnet of bronze
beads trimmed with pink roses.

THE STAR'S FASHION HINTS.
FASHION "AND. AllT JOINEQ,
They Get Together With Very Good Effect
- In Princess Gowns.
Thero ia a great deal to be said In favor
of the princess gown. - It la graceful,
nerer common looking and has an air of
exElnslye , fashion which" pertains to-few:
ot&er garments. JA ia seldom that an arti
ol of attire la both fashionable and artls
tlsj. Fashion usually shuns the studio, or
mangles and garbles Its effects beyond rec
ognition, as was shown in the Greek dra
peries, combined with starched collar and
cuff s and French corset, which were quite
the mode- three or four years ago. Occa
sionally, however, she joins forces with
act, although half unwillingly and for a
very brief time. The Josephine styles not
St passed out of date are a fair example
. her spasmodic good taste. The prin
cess modes are another, although she
spoils these by insisting on the compressed
waist as the proper form for - setting them
off. In mediaeval times the princess gown
was the accepted dress of women. It was
admirably fitted to the natural figure with-
TAFFETA PBINCESS GOWN.
ott any distortions of whalebone or crino
line, and with Its winged sleeves falling
away from the tight ones beneath, Its
dinging, trailing: skirts-caught up by be
ing drawn through the drooping girdle, it
might fairly rank with antique draperies
ins beauty and artistic effect. ' Even now,
altered as it is and modified to suit our
modern craving for "smartness" and "go"
rather than for beauty, whose' fundamen
tal laws are changeless, it is far preferable
to jthe round waist and belt, which cut the
figtire squarely in two and convert into
angles whatever whalebone has left of del
icately related curves.
- Backed by a skillful and obedient dress
maker and money enough to buy the most
expensive materials, a few women venture
to djonsult their own taste in preference to
the! judgment of the multitude, but the
rank and filer follow my leader, as indeed
moneyless women must in order not to ap
pear shabby. What Is artistic independ
ence In brocade Is dowdiness In cashmere.
Since the. conventional form is easy to fit
and; easily obtained It is not difficult for
poet women to appear fashionable, and
a peincess gown is refined looking, even
in calico. J--,;' ;.V:-J- y.:,; ,

mafe of taffeta silk. It is open at the side
