Some use merely a strip of eyelet cm-broidery around the neck and another below the bust giving the effect of an empire gown. The most satisfactory lingerie sets tor summer wear are those having a casing of allover embroidery or sheer lawn around yoke and waist through which ribbon is run, for in the hot weather the libbon soils very easily and a few washings will wear it out. The prettiest of corset covers to wear under thin blouses are made of fine insertion joined together with bands of handkerchief linen by hand, and meeting on the bias in front and back. spring suit; it is convenient to have both fittings done at the same time, and in the practical wearing, one follows closely on the heels of the other.

Those June brides who want band embroidered lingerie, yet have not the time to make it, should learn the value of all-over embroidery In eyelet work. A nightgown with yoke and sleeves of eyelet is just as, effective as hand embroidery. For the corset cover the embroidery may be cut with a deep pointed yoke around which lace edging may sewed.

American Girls Learn to Sing Easier Than Any Other Nationality It is a known fact that there are more beautiful voltes in America than any other country in the world, says Ellen Beach Yaw In the Delineator. There is scarcely an American girl now who does not sing a little. Their voices are exceptionally clear and strong.

There is no girl In the world who can learn to sing with so littl" trouble as the American girl. She is born with a voice. There are certain qualities in her voice which resemble the clearness of the American atmosphere. Our girls have not yet come to the realizat'on of what thoy pos. sess They do not fully appreciate the great gift which God has given them.

They have within themselves a power of expression that would surprise even themselves If they but paused to listen to their divine gift and gave it an opportunity of development. READERS. OUR YOUN NEWS OF THE CHILDREN'S CLUBS UNCLE HARRY'S LETTER. -Hme Zfttle Colonel's I Economy Gowns i SMART broadcloth evening cape for summer woar Is here Illustrated, which could bo made for $10. The usual circular pattern for a long cape could be used, with openings cut at the head of the organization In America, who nursed not only the wounded of your own land, but followed the Red Cross of mercy on many foreign battlefields!" "Oh, a hospital nurse!" said Lloyd, wrinkling her forehead and trying to think.

"Miss Alcott was one. Everybody knows about her, and her 'Hospital Sketches' are lovely." "No! no!" exclaimed the Major, Impatiently. Lloyd, feeling from his tone that Ignorance on this subject was something he could not excuse, tried again. "I've heard of Florence Nightingale. In one of my books at home, a Chatterbox, I think, there is a picture of her going through a hospital ward.

Mothah told me how good she was to the soldlahs, and how they loved her. They even kissed her shadow on the wall as she passed. They were so grateful." "Ah, yes," murmured the old man. "Florence Nightingale will live long In song and story. An angel of mercy she was, through all the horrors of the Crimean War; but she was an English woman, my dear.

The one I mean is an American, and her name ought to go down in history with the bravest of its patriots and the most honored of its benefactors. I learned to know her first in that long siege at Strasburg. She nursed me there, and I have followed her career with grateful Interest ever since, noting with admiration all that she has done for her country and humanity the world over, "If America ever writes a woman's name in her temple of fame, liebes Maedchen (I say it with uncovered head), that one should be the name of Clara Barton." The old soldier lifted his hat as he spoke, and replaced it so solemnly that Lloyd felt very uncomfortable, as if she were in some way to blame for not knowing and admiring this Red Cross nurse of whom she bad never heard. Her face flushed, and much embarrassed, she drew the toe of her slipper along Hero's back, answering, in an abused tone: "But, Majah, how could I be expected to know anything about her? There is nothing tn ou' tchoolbooks, and nobody told me, and Papa Jacl: won't let me read the newspapahs, they're so full of horrible murdahs and things. So how could I evah And out? I couldn't learn everything In twelve yeahs.

and that's all the longah I've lived." The Major lauthed. "Forgive me. one!" he cried, seeing the dlst.ess and embarrassment in her face. "A thousand pardons! The fault is not yours, but your country's, that it has not taught its children to honor its benefactor as she deserves. I am rlad that it has leen given to me to -11 you the story of one of the most beautiful things that ever happened in Switzerland the founding of the Red Cross.

You will remember it with greater interest, I am sure, because, while I talk, the cross of the Swiss flag floats over us, and it was here In this old town of Genera the merciful work had Its beginning." Lloyd settled herself to listen, still stroking Hero's back w.tb her slipper toe: o-o-o-o-o To Be Continued To-morrow. Copyright, im. by C. Pa 4 Co.

Continued From Yesterday's Junior Eaple. The Junior Eagle Orchestra met on Saturday at 11 o'clock, the best meeting these young musicians have had for several weeks. Lucie Orr-Murphy, the leader, was present, and consequently there was somo good work done. It will not be possible to have the orchestra recital this week, but It will surely come later and will no doubt be a big event. The orchestra will practice this week as usual.

Saturday's meeting of the Sewing Club was not so successful as It should have been. Unless more interest is shown by these girls this club will be disbanded. On April 11 the Musical Club held a meeting, which was very successful. Among those who took part In the programme were Marie Deutscher, violinists; CHAPTER V. The Red Cross of Geneva.

A WEEK after the runaway the handsomest collar that could be bought In town was fastened around Hero's neck. It had taken a long time to get it, for Mr. Sherman went to many shops before he found material that ho considered good enough for the SPIRIT OF P. S. NO.

84 BOYS New Publication Which Is Established to Maintain a High Standard in School. The first number of The Spirit of 84 Boys, published by the boys of Public School No. 84, has been issued. Its lead-ins; editorial says: The Spirit of 84 Boys takes tho opportunity upon this. Its first appearance before tho public, lo express its heartiest thanks to all those who by their co-operation, assistance and advice have made the publication possible.

To our principal, Dr. Badanes, who is responsible for the Inception and the final realization of The Spirit in its present form, to all the teachers of 84" who showed a warm interest In the progress of the work, to the alumnae of our school who aided us both materially as well as with their sympathtic encouragement, to the business men of the neighborhood who by their advertisements supplied a largo portion of the fiuancial resources, and Anally to the large number of friuuds and wellwishers of this newspaper, we acknowledge our grateful obligation. Wo assure them that It will be our earnest endeavor to make their efforts bear the fruit that they merit; and hope that they will consider this first attempt as but an earnest endeavor of what we shall aim at in the future. It is said that "Enthusiasm Is the Seed of Success." If. therefore, our undertaking is to attain this goal that we are aiming at "Success" then the full and hearty support of every pupil is necessary.

In establishing a paper in our school our endeavor and purpose is to stimulate the Interest of the boys In all their work and form a "go and get" spirit throughout the entire school. By so doing we may hope to seo the pupils brighter, happier and wiser than ever before. Many a boy who formerly was lounging around with nothing to do may now find an Incentive to occupy his leisure time in a good way; perhaps broaden- Sadie Hrrtozg, pianist; Angelica Downes, Jacob Deutscher.

Apply to Aunt Jean for membership. every minute of the time you spend In taking care of your little gardens. Here are some letters which come from the first four girls who wrote to me about it.

AUNT JEAN. ANNA ON THE LIST. Dear Aunt Jean I was reading in the children's part what, you said about gardens. I have in front of our house a nice space, where I could plant seeds and make a nice garden, as I think It would be a good plan, and I will be proud to say I have a garden. I would like to Join tho Humane Club; kindly put me as a member.

I hops to see this printed in the paper, as I will watch for It. Your niece, ANNA LESNON. Let me know what you are going lo plant. I should suggest sweet peas, zinnia or bachelors' buttons. These are all easy to take care of.

MARGARET IS OBSERVING. My dear Aunt Jean Did I hesr you speak about flowers? Yes, I believe I did. Yesterday I was to my friend's bouse. She Ib a Puzzle Club member, too. Around their house are many bushes.

I picked a large and a small limb from every bush. In this way I can Bee bow the buds on the limbs of the small and large come up. We also put some beans in water. The roots sre growing very quick. I am watching them very closely.

The buds of some have opened wonderful. Every day I sprinkle water on them and put fresh water into the vase In which they stand. When my flowers have bloomed. I shall write to you again. I am your affectionate niece, MARGARET E.

BERRY. That. Is a good way to begin to take an Interest in flowers. It Is surely fascinating to watch them grow. Next time plant something In the ground; It is even more fun to tako care of plants in the ground than In voscb.

TRANSLATED BIT GERALD YOl'Na Miss Edith H. Nichols speke yesterday at the Young Women's Christian Association on 'The Overcoming She spoke of the omnipresent palm, in rosettes or crosges, on men's coats and In women's hands; as she had crossed the city, and said she wondered If each person who carried a palm had a palm In his heart, a victory In character. Every life has a cross and may have a palm. Victory over one's worse self may be won by displacing wrong thoughts by positively good thoughts. A calendar of Quotations is a good thing to have on one's dressing table to All idle moments.

It need not be religious. Good biography and the study of our friends' lives will furnish us with food for thought and good examples. One who is tempted must not stay alone with the temptation. Let her keep busy; if possible, get away from the object which tempts: seek tho companionship of helpful friends, hide her feelings in an effort to prevent self pity, and remember Christ. Miss Nichols Is one of the secretaries for the Young Women's Christian Association in New York and New Jersey, and has her headquarters in Manhattan.

"I don't care if you are beaten 60 to 1," Mr. Boyden often tells hla boys. "You huve every reason to be satisfied If you come back with the knowledge that every man has done his best and has played a clean game." There was one game with Athol high some ago. when the Deerfleld boys were put into a severe test. Tho Deerfleld fellows were particularly anxious to win the game.

At a critical Juncture, the bull was thrown to Mr. Boyden. who was at his usual position at first base, to catch a runner who was playing off too far. Mr. Boyden caught the ball, but failed to put it on his man.

This umpire did not see Just what happened, and called the man out. Mr. Boyden hesitated a moment, recognizing It as a general custom to Ignore such errors, on the ground that they tend to balance each other. Hut he concluded It to bo better to play the game on ihc highest standard of honor, so he told the umpire that the runner had not been touched, and the umpire reversed the decision, and the man was allowed to return to the base. So well trained has ho made his boys that thoy have become ingrained in the Roosevelt spirit of "square or what is really "fair play" of old.

The utmost endeavor Is made to have the boys courteous on the field. Visitors are always cheered, and are usually entertained at Deerfleld by taking them to Memorial Hall. Contrast this line of model ball playing on schoolboy play grounds with that In the metropolitan district of public school baseball? T'NCLE HARRV (Harry Cliadwtck.) The Larchmont.

She had left her little doll which was only a corncob with a piece of calico on, in the hollow part of a tree. It was the only one she had ever had, for her mother was a widow and had to work hard for a living. This morning she laid her poor little doll in its accustomed place In the tree and started briskly on her walk, which was almost a mile. While she was gone some tired travelers slopped at the widow's house to rest, which she kindly let them do. After they wore rested they took a little stroll.

They happened to see the corncob with the piece of calico on in the tree. They asked the widow what it was there for. She reluctantly told them about ber little daughter and bow fond of dolls she was. hut couldn't get any. so she had the Utile corncob with some rags on It, and that was where she put It.

Boyden Is the president; and, according to the Boston Globe, he Is doing Buch remarkable work that It has attracted the at tention of the Boston Board of Education. Tho Globe states that "so smali physically though nearly 30 years of age is Mr. Boyden, that he is frequently mistaken for a small boy," and It eddJ that Mr. Boyden has made it a practice to play baseball and football with the teams representing the school. At one of tho games at Shelburne Falls, one of the Deerfleld boys was speaking about their principal being with them.

"Where was ho, I didn't see him," queried one of the Shelburne players. yes, you did," replied the Deerfleld fellow, "he was playing first base." Mr. Boyden's methods In governing the school Include a noteworthy effort "to keep the boys off the streets and out of loafing places, furthermore to teach self-control, co-operation with others, quicken the wits and to encourage active physical exercise. So when school Is over, through the spring and fall months, tho boys all gather In the field prepared either for baseball or football as the Beason may be. The rule is made to have every boy exercise in this way, while in most schools only the better players, who are members of the srhool teams, or who are trying to make them, will take the trouble to get out for athletics" Then, too, he cuts out everything like Faithful Friends School was out.

George and Eddie were coming down the street. At the corner they happened to hear some one whining. Eddie looked around. A poor little fox terrier came limping down the street. Eddie took him home and cared for him tenderly.

After a while Eddie and George agreed to teach him tricks. He was already so clever at them that they named his Tricks. They took him to a circus, where he got a medal. The little master lived happy ever after. If you visit Eddie's house, which stands at the corner of Monroe place and Rcmsen street be might show you the medal.

Ml rescuer of his little daughter. Then the jeweler had to keep it several days while he engraved an inscription on the gold name-plate an Inscription that all who read might know what happened on a certain July day in the old Swiss town of Geneva. On the under side of the collar was a stout link like the one on his old one, to which the flask could be fastened when he was harnessed for service, and on the upper side, finely wrought in enamel, was a red cross on ft white square. "Papa Jack!" exclaimed Lloyd, examining it with interest, "that la the same design that Is on hla blanket and ehouldah bags. Why, it's juBt like the Ewlss flag!" she 'cried, looking out at the banner floating from the pier.

"Only tba colours are turned around. The flag I lias a white cross on a red ground, and this is a red cross on a white ground. I Why did you have it put on the collah. Papa Jack?" "Because he is a Red Cross dog," answered her father. "No, Papa Jack.

Excuse me for con-tradictln', but the Majah said be was St. Bernard dog." Mr. Sherman laughed, but before he could explain he was called to the office to answer a telegram. When he returned Lloyd had disappeared to find the Major and ask about the symbol on the collar. She found him in his favorite seat near the fountain, in the shady courtyard.

Perching on a bench near by, with Hero for a footstool, she asked, "Majah, is Hero a St. Bernard or a Red Cross dog?" "He is both answered the Major, Bmilling at her puzzled expression. "He 1s the first because he belongs to that family of dogs, and he is the second because he was adopted by the Red Cross Association and trained for Its service. You know what that is, of course." Still Lloyd looked puzzled. She shook her head.

"No, I nevah heard of It. Is it something Swiss or German?" 'Never heard of It!" repeated the major. He spoke in such a surprised tone that his voice sounded gruff and loud, and Lloyd almost Jumped. The harshness was so unexpected. I was so glad to learn that a good many of my nephews and nieces who head my "daily talk" last week about gardening, are going to tako my advice and start an interest in flowers and garden work.

That's fine, and I'm suro you'll enjoy ARTIST JENNIE A GARDENER. Dear Aunt Jean As In your Tuesday's daily talk you asked to let you know If any boy or girl was going to have a garden, I thought I'd write and tell you that I am going to have one. There's nothing that wrould please me better than to have a little garden of my own. I am so Interested in It that I could sit there the whole day long and watch the little shoots come out through the ground, little by little, till they get to be like green carpot on the ground. I will plant some morning glory, pan-sies, nasturtiums, carnations, tomatoes and corn; 1 might also plant a rose bush, JENNIE I)E BLASI.

You mustn't bo too ambitious, Jennie, although I'm sure you'll be a successful gardener. If I were you I'd plant pan-sies, morning glories and maybe tomatoes If you have room. The others are hard to raise, I'm afraid. The corn, I think, would be too big a crop for a city yard. Let me know, surely, how you are succeeding.

A JAMAICA GARDEN. Dear Aunt Jean I am going to have a little garden. I have a nice backyard for seeds and plants, and will take an Interest in planting them. I hope you will pu! more in the Eagle about planting, to-morrow night. I like to have a garden of violets, liles of the valley or lilies.
