FROCKS VOLUMINOUS It is difficult—very difficult—to ring the changes of fashion in a practical 7 and becoming way. There is no doubt that while remaining faithful to the trotteuse skirts for morning wear, in serge, cheviot and tweeds, all the best frocks are made long and fairly vol- uminous. They are graceful and very charming, but for practical purposes they are quite useless. Yet the wo- man with a small income will hesitate before putting the greater part of her dress allowance into a tailor-made frock, unless it be smart, and to be smart it must have a long skirt. DUTCH GIRLS AWAKE. A friend who.is extremely well up in Dutch life tells me that education is progressing apace among, Dutch girls. Not only are they taught a therough knowledge of English, Ger- man and French, in a typical Dutch school, but they receive a most prac- tical training in all domestic matters. Particular attention is ‘paid, among other things, to theology. whose intri- cacies they are permitied to discuss freely. From theology to needlework is a far cry, yet the curriculum of a Dutch girl’s scheol seems to cover all the ground between.—London News. PICTURE HATS WITH STRINGS. The most desirable summer hats wili have strings under the chin. For some reason women ‘insist on calling the jaunty new hats, bonnets, on account of the strings. But they do not resem- ble the ugly little bonnet of twenty years ago. The new models are really like the so-called “picture hats,” with strings to make the effect more fas- cinating. The modish woman will con- fine her summer hats to pinks, blues and whites. Colors will be delicate and the keynote of all warm weather millinery will be daintiness. Flowers are in less demand than lace and mus- lin, but, of course, the knockabout hats will be various sorts of straw.—New York Press. - FLOUNCED EFFECT LINGERS We may be certain of one thing, and this is that the flounced skirt has by no means disappeared, or perhaps I should say the fiounced effect. Many dressmakers are cutting their skirts in one, easing them round the hips, letting them come very full to rest about two inches on the ground. Then graduated all the way up are bands of braid, satin or velvet—in other words, we have returned to the “beer barrel” idea! This is a very becoming mode for a slight woman, with a bolero or little coat to correspond. Tailors are using black braids in this way on blue serge; heavy military braids look par- ticularly smart when so treated.—New York Globe. Iz QUEEN’S PERSONALITY. ' The Queen of Greece, who is a Rus- sian Grand. Princess by birth, has brought some good things into the land of her adoption along with her own gracious personality. Prior to her ad- vent at the Hellenic court charitable institutions were unknown in the land of Homer. Her Majesty at once es- tablished an elaborate system of sick nursing, and out of her own not too abundant private means helped to found the first national nursing school. The Evangelismos, the famous hos- pital in Athens, is the outcome of her endeavors, and Athenian ladies of ibe highest degree, following the example of their Queen, take a personal share in the nursing and management.—Les- lie’s Weekly. THE PERENNIAL QUESTION, That perennial question of how much money a year a woman needs for dressing herself seems to be up again for discussion. We read that whereas a daughter in 1830 would have thought herself passing rich on an annual dress allowance of $200, the same daughter—a rather antiquated maiden, we fear, by this time—holds herself a pauper “if she may not spend at least three times that amount on her suburban toilet.” Theoretically $600 would not seem to be an enor- mous sum for personal beautification; but practically, however, women may move heaven and earth and their hus- bands to get it, you can only say of them, “Some don’t, some do.” - As for a woman's needs—why, it is safe to say that every woman needs to dress properly—properly, mind you—$200 more a year than she gets.—Boston Transcript. A WOMAN'S ‘A woman's culture may judged by her laugh, by which she uses her powers of facial expression or by her walk. To throw the head Back and indulge in a hearty laugh is tabooed in good society. An enjoyable laugh, when the subject is genuinely risible, is said by scientific men to contribute to good health by inducing plenty of free oxygen into the lungs. There are ample opportunities in the home circle to enjoy a spon- taneous burst of - mirth; formality frowns upon a laugh that causes the lips to part further than is barely suf- ficient to show the edges of the teeth. LAUGH. be readily the way in Too much play of expression in any direction, whether it be laughing or frowning, is suggestive of the un- finished debutante, Learn to laugh in moderation; to check a tendency to- ward what may savor in the least of vulgarity, and you will have accom- plished much in the way’ of making yourself more acceptable in company. GIRLS WHO SHOOT, Pretty young women of Elgin have resorted to a practice that has caused the Mayor of the town to go about holding up his hands in dismay and predicting all kinds of dire calamities. The girls have taken to shooting irons, and the hardware men have told the Mayor ‘that they have cleaned out their stores of anything from a toy der- ringer to a Dbreechloading shotgun. They are now practicing on different objects, and the Mayor is afraid some brother, husband or sweetheart will be filled with lead. He says that no one in the city limits is safe, and is sure that some down in Clintonville or up at Dundee will be killed. It all came from the act of an Elgin girl who drew a bead on a tramp who tried to push past her into the house. The Weary I Willie put up the best sprint that was ever heard of in the town. the papers gave up space to the incident, and now every woman in the town is deter- mined to emulate her grit.—Chicago Tribune. AMERICAN CULTURE. Language and literature are the basis of culture. No one will deny that. The world judges our social standing by the way in which we write letters, quite as much as by our clothes. If we can talk like an edu- cated person we are at once sup- posed to be such. I know a bright young English woman who has read widely and thoughtfully, and has stud- ied good English consistently for six or seven years. Now, though she had but the merest common school’ educa- tion, and a few years ago her husband lived in mortal. fear that she would make some egregious blunder and would disgrace his professional repu- tation, she is almost invariably taken by those who know her but little for a Girton graduate—and Girton has a higher standard as a college in Eng- land than Vassar or Smith or Welles- ley in this country. The mere home study of language and literature, in conjunction with household duties and the care of children, has wrought this marvelous transformation, says Sher- win Cody, in The Housekeeper. The future of American culture de- pends on the women. They alone have the leisure for it. Almost every wo- man has, or can have, a few hours a day for reading and study, or for cul- tivating the art of conversation or let- ter writing or story writing. If she would do the simple and natural and easy thing, study her own language, learn to write and speak well and think well, instead of joining a ciub for the study of Greek art or English politics or the social condition of Greenland, she would accomplish won. ders for American refinement and the richness and loveahleness of our na- tional life. Belts and stocks to match are now tiie fad. Veilings may be fine or coarse, plain or fancy. Ostrich plumes and pompons are in hizh favor. White coats are very popular for evening wear. Buttons and buckles figure largely on evening shoes. Most walking shoes show the high Cuban or military heel. Single-breasted coats in silk, import- ed from Paris, are charming. Long-handled parasols are promised considerable vogue this season. Fancy chenille-bordered veils in all colors are selling for fifty cents. The violet toque never fails to put in its appearance at this time of year. In ribbons melon shades, resembling the interior of a muskmelon, are much favored. Even the gloves for summer wear are showing embroidered and open- work designs. A collar and cuff box is covered with flowered taffeta silk, and is lined with green moire. Linen belts, with small gunmetal clasps will be worn as much this year as they were last. Veils with ribbon and others show- ing a single thread of gold are among the season’s leaders. : Low shoes in tan in many different shades, as well as mahogany, are dis- played, and are to be modish this year. Brown gowns and hats are much shown, and it is said brown will be very popular all the spring and sum- mer. 3raids are worked into all kinds of novel and effective designs, such as medallions from which rays run over the dress. : Growers of the famous Rockyford cantaloupe, of Rockyford, Colo., report an average net return of $150 an acre n of 1903. for the seaso ‘means of pung A SERMON FOR SUNDAY 3 AN ELOGUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED, “NE EED OF A REVIVAL.” The Rev. Dr. Philip S. Moxam Says That We Require a Fresh Conviction of the Reality of Salvation=Too Much Ab- sorption in the Pursuit of Riches. BROOKLYN, N. _Y=In Plymouth Church the Rev. Philip S S. Moxom, of Singhal, ass,; preached Sunday morning. Moxom’s subject was “Fhe Need of a viv al. ” He took his text from ar iil “0 Jehovah, revive Thy work in the pian of the years; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.” Dr. Moxom sai In times past, when the church was ina low state of- religious vitality, the more spiritual of the members, distressed by the absence of vigorous life and burdened by the condition of the multitude who were looked upon as lost, sought a revival of religion. = They sought by prayer, earnest and long continued, to eer s their own experience of divine grace; they sought by communion with others of like mind and by mutual exhortation to increase their zeal in the service of God; they sought by gent and powerful preaching sh Christians and awaken Re to arouse slu careless sinne The “protracted meeting,” as it was called, was simply a continuous series of meetings for preaching and prayer and ex- hortation and confession. The preacher wrought upon the conse iences of men by setting forth God’s claims on them and their neglect of duty. He wrought upon the fears of men by denunciations cf the imminent danger and certain and terrible punishment of impenitent sinners. He wrought upon the hearts of men by vivid presentatiops of the love of God and por- trayals of the vast self-sacrifice of the Son of God in making atonement for the sins of mankind on the cross. Often, if not al- ways, much was made of the physical suf- ferings of Christ. Much was made also of the material pains of perdition. An important accompaniment of the preacher’s work was the work of private visitation and appeal, and the testimony of religious experience. Men told, with astonishing frankness, their sins, their doubts and fears, their repentance, their self-surrender and their joy and peace in the conscious experience of pardon. They talked of God’s dealings with them with a familiarity that would be shocking, were it not, on the whole, so reverent. The result of these combined efforts of- ten was the awakening of ‘a community; the meeting house was thronged with hear- ers, many became alarmed: on account of their sins, backsliders were filled ~v-ith compunction and reclaimed to their neg- lected fealty, the indifferent were aroused and convicted and brought to a state of deep contrition. There were numerous conversions, and the testimony of the con- verts increased the religious fervor of be- lievers and produced conviction of sin and desire’ of salvation in other unbelievers. Jonsiderable numbers were adied to the church, and for a time the whole commu- nity was raised to a higher level of relig- ious life, and in many instances to a higher morality. Usually, after a time, the revival was followed by a gradual relapse into formal- ity of religious service, coldness of relig- ious temper, and indifference to the high- er claims of the church. Fever was fol- lowed by chill, until, after months or years, a new demand arose for ‘‘a season of refreshing from the Lord.” This inter- mittency of religious life was a charactér- istic feature of Protestant church life for many generations—a period covering quite 200 years. This period, extending from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centur- ies, was marked by great crises of religious awakening. Notable among them were those signalized by the names of Edwards, Wesley, Whitefield, Summeriield and, later, Finney and Moody. That “revivals of religion,” in what may now be called the historic sense, did great good cannot successfully be disputed; nor can it be denied that they also did ‘much harm. On the whole, the good was in ex- cess of the harm. “Revivals” were in ac- cord with the religious ideas prevalent at the time, and were a natural product of those ideas. During their hectic existence many individual men and women were transformed from lives of wickedness or vanity to lives of virtue and unselfish serv- ice to their .fellow men. Reverence for God was deepened and faith in God was stimulated and nourishe The evils were incident to the mistaken theology that held supreme place in the churches and largely Seppleniad the sim- plicity of the gospel of Christ. These evils were very great, and the effect of them still remains, though in diminishing de- gree. Among them may be noted a False, or at least, mistaken and inadequate, mo- tive for Christian propaganda, a mischiev- ous separation between relicion and mor- ality, an unnatural and feverish piety that, on the one hand, became a morbid senti. mentalism, or, on the other, degenerated into a formalism not less real because often it was not ritualistic. Wrong ideas of God and Christ and sin and salvation and righteousness and the hereafter were rooted so deep that they could be destroyed only by a criticism so drastic that it has seemed to tear up fun- damental truth of the spiritual life. A kind of orthodoxy was established that Perpatnated, if it did not create, opposition etween nature and providence, science and faith, the business of life and the in- terests of the immortal soul. It produced an artificiality of life which stimulated self- deception and hypocrisy, and gave great opportunity and scope to the bigot. Much of the irreligion of to-day, or what is rath- er undiscriminately called irreligion, is simply reaction, though often unconscious, from the unreality of yesterday. At the present time an attempt is being made to restore the revival methods of last century. Organizations have been formed the more efficiently to prosecute this attempt. In the nature of the case, the attempt will fail. It will fail because it is not in accord with prevailing ideas of religion—of God and man and their mutual relations and of human development and destiny. 'The principle of evolution has overthrown, not the truths, but the struct- ural princi ites and the elaborate theory of the old theology. re new biology has made necessary a new theology, and a new theology is already diffused in the atmos- phere of the common thought. But I psak of this attempt now not to criticise it; I would rather welcome it if it contained any promise of real good. speak of it particularly because it indicates and emphasizes a growing feeling that all is not right w ith the church and society to- day, and the deepening surmise, if it is not yet generally a conviction, that we are m great need of a true revival of religion. No one can justly criticise the present life of our country w rithout recognizing and confessing that it esents to the view very many features which awaken feelings of gratitude and hope. Charity was never so abundant and wise. The morals of the average business man were never better. > Laws were never more humane and just. Politics were never less corrupt. The ben- eficent enterprises of the Christian chur ch in all the world were never so and sympathetic and efficient. Whatever abatements we must make, because of cer- tain obvious and perplexing facts, these propositions are, in the main, true. On the other hand there is an absorbing devotion to the pursuit of riches. The haste to be rich is like an epidemic fever. There is an exaggerated appreciation of mere materiality. This widely affects com- mercial and industrial enterprise. Many corporations strive, by attempted mono, oly, to increase profits already large, or, combination and the promotio intel ligent n of vast! d schemes for further consolidation, seek to turn paper securities"into money. Many of these schemes, in effect, if not in intention, are fraudulent. Labor- unions, overstep- ing their legitimate’ purpose of protecting aboring men from opprission and securing for them a just share of the products of la- ber, are seeking to create a labor oligar- chy and to extort money from emphoyers in excess of what many industries can bear, and limiting the opportunities of the un- skilled for entering the ranks of skilled ar- tisans. Fraud, bribery, extortion, and even blackmail have become startlingly common. Society is full of. unrest and discontent because of the éxdzgerated gstimate put upon material ‘possessions. (Side by side with great strenuousness in the. pursuit of wealth there is, oa the part ef many who have achieved ‘or ‘inherited’ fortunes, in- creasing luxury and -self-incyjgepee.’ This is reproduced, in varying degrees, in. every stratum of society, from. the most to the least wealthy. There are also; apparently, an increase of irreverence for what is sa- cred, amg indifference to ‘tradition that amounts sometimes to contempt for long established principles, .and “a growth of race prejudice and selfish passion mani- fested in frequent eruptions ‘of furipus or. cynical lawlessness. Religion, confounded with dogma or ritual, is held by umany in little esteem, and the church. is neglected by thousands who once gave it their sup- port and by thousands mote who, in the natural course of life, should be among its supporters. In the churches there is a lack® of spiritual fervor and a decline of farthrin Jod. I think that I have not mis- stated the actual conditions. With no taint of pessi- mism in my mood; on the contrary, with a high appreciation of all the rood in the present life of our country, I am forced to the conviction that there is great need now of a revival of true religion. What does this mean? What is the religion a revival of which we heed? It is a great and con- trolling sense of God, as the Creator, Sov- ereign, Father and Saviour of the soul. The nineteenth century was distinguished by the emergencies of a new and: “deeper sense of the worth of man. This dramatic ally began in the upheaval of the French Revolution. It wds' manifested in’ the growing demand for popular liberty, in the rise of thé workingman, in the extension of political suffrage, n the development of popular education, in. the.rapid grow th of. the ‘Sunday-school, in: the spread of the missionary spirit, in a-new care for chil-"| dren, in prison reform, in the’ bfeaking down of religious exclusiveness and ‘the tyranny of dogma, and in many other ways. The twentieth century ealls for a: fresh awakening of the sense: ‘of God as the source and law and gagl, Qf human exist- ence; both individual ‘and sgeial. We need a reperception-of: the reality of God in the world. Avowed atheism, the positive denial’ of God: is: rare; practical atheism is common. ‘Many men: have not God “in all their thoughts.” . They have a widened idea of law in the universe, but it is vague and impersonal.” They need to re- alize afresh the integrity of the divine gov, ernment. There.is a divine government of the ;world—a government that" makes for zood and against evil, that js: ‘the founda- tion and source of all just human law, that is the ground of individual an social re- sponsibility and that rewards righteous- ness and punishes wickedness. This sense of God as a sovereign must be vitalized by the sense of God as the In- finite Person. If I seem tp limit the di- vine Being by using terms that are prop- erly appi licable_ only to-finite being and hu- man modes of thought, it is to be said that the term personality does mot neces- sarily imply any limitation. We must think of God under forms of om own rational and mor al being, and our very nature de- mands the answer of a ea person to the persistent and illimitable needs of the human person. Tor a time many have lost the personal God in impersonal law and imperson ral force. The divine immanence is grasped in a way that excludes the complementary idea of transcendence. There cannot be real transcendence without personality. The being who thinks and wills and loves, even in finite limits, is gréater than an im- personal universe. Man is greater than God, if God be only law. But he craves a deity whom he can revere and trust and Jove with all the force of personal being. As the mind needs and demands the fun- damental conception of unity in order to a rational interpretation of the world; as the conscience needs and demands the sense of universal and inviolable law, so the heart needs and deman the con- sciousness of a perfect and responsive goodness—the Almighty Father—manifest- ing and exercising compassion, love and providence and revealing Himself in com- munion with His child. “These expressions must have vivid meaning as expressions of reality. The rule of God is in and over the soul, as well as in and over the material world. and this rule is the manifestation of God as the Holy Spirit. We need a renewed sense of the reality of revelation as a past and present commu- nication of the divine w ill to man. A mere historic God is remote and ineffective. He must be contemporary. If He spoke once He must still speak; not in ways of theo- phany and miracle, but in ways that are authentic and authoritative to conscious- ness. This does not invalidate historic revelation. but it clears it of error and con- fusion. Jesus represents and embodies both. He knew the historic revelation as it was expressed in the life and literature of the Hebrew people, and in Some, meas- wre formed His thought on its disclosures of the divine nature and will. But Tis knew also its defects and limitations, and He knew God immediately, as man may legitimately and naturally know Him, be- cause He is God’s child. So there is need of a new sense of Jesus as man in full com- munion with God. Finally, we need a new sense of the re- ality of the soul. Once men ignored the body, save as they indulged or abused it. We have he to appreciate its importance and to care for it in countless ways, but it bulks too large on our view. It is not an end, but an instrument. The soul is in an organism, but is not it nor a mere afflu- ence from it. The soul is the man. Per- sonality is the crowning fact. It means knowledge, power, character, immortality. If man is only a cunning organism he needs and ¢ no immortality. But, be- canse he 1s n—a spi itual be ing, with power nk and will and love, with memory forecast, w ith unmeas- and sorrow, with a sense for truth and righteousness and God oz “his best moments he requires immor- tality that he may have. scope adequate to his consciousness of power, actual or at- tainable: and he takes his hunger for it as God's assurance that the promise of pres- ent experience will have fulfillment in the future. In his baser moments, having ex- hausted his body by labor or by dissipa- and ured capacity for joy tion, he longs only for rest from weariness of nerves or the ty ranny of appetite. Then immort lity hasmo charm, and belief in it sinks into a doubt and often into a denial. It is not science, but subjection to sehsa- tion till it rules us, that breeds the doubt of immortality. When we live on the hizh- planes of our being we feel the real : »e of life, and catch glimpses of tching horiz on. The reality of God as sovereign and father, the reality of revelation as a past and present experience of divine communi- cation, the reality of salvation as a fulfill- ment of life, and the reality of the soul as the imperishable person — these, freshly seen and felt as the great and permanent elements of human experience, will new creat the august and commanding sense of duty, dissolve and dissipate the mater- ialism Ww ich degrad es our nature, ennoble 3 new value, revive 5 ot P Taye er and worship and put new y enterprise.

The ‘wall should .be treated from the base-board up. If there is a dado, it should represent the darkest, tone of al those employed for the wall; the division -above it- should be several shades lighter, the border, if any, still lighter, and the ceiling lighést of all, and for this reason, which always ex- ists: the - ceiling receives less. light than any other portion of the Toom, and the border less than the wall be- low it.

Cool yellows, deep. creams, golden tans, are the best ceiling tones, as a rule, though there aré éccasions where a soft blue or a rose-flushed ceiling is to be advised.—Harper's Bazar.

Oh, the coal which is wasted in many of our homes, simply because those in charge do not understand the care of a fir®! It is one thing to keep d good fire with the dampers wide open, and quite another with the dampers closed. If one is ironing, baking, or doing anything which calls for a hot fire, why, of course, the dampers must be so arranged as to allow the desired heat; but it is a woful waste of coal to keep a red-hot fire all the time. To let the fire come up fairly well and then close the draughts tightly, until the heat is needed, is the true way of economizing. And, then, a few cinders will do wonders for a kitchen fire, even keeping it well over- night, when fresh coal would fail. I burn one hod of coal each day, in ex- treme weather a little more, in my kite hen stove, and rarely put on fresh ¢oal after making the fire in the morn- ing. I then fill the firebox full of coal, open and shut the draughts ac- cording to the work to be done, after dinner rake it a very little, cover with cinders, adding a few more after sup- per, and in the moraing have a good fire, with steaming hot water in the kettle. Sometimes, if the day has been a windy one, but the the fire water still hot. will be gone, i mm Ja > RECIPES: 7 oe tear ee erent, TOY 3 Walnut Cake— Cream together one up of butter and two cups of sugar; add the beaten yolks of four eg and one-half cup of sweet milk; thed add two and a half cups of flour and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
