Of these extremely striking hats, one is a large draped turban of calf- skin, mottled brown and white. It is lined with white satin on the under brim, and is trimmed with a cluster of three white ostrich feathers. Wraps a la Mode. The reddish-blue shades of taffeta are to be made up in wraps and coatees. As the fashion has run to plainer and quieter effects in dress, so it has taken a contrary course in wraps. They cannot be too dainty or elaborate to be a la mode. Why Bronze Slippers are Popular, Bronze slippers are gaining in popu- larity in the best shops, and many bronze tones are seen. Well posted dealers say that women like them be- cause even a large size bronze slipper looks comparatively small on ‘a’ wom- an's foot—and this always appeals to them.—Shoe Retailer. Spring Models in Hats. Hats in a very pretty combination of taffetas and straw are having a success for the already advanced spring models destined for Nice and Monte Carlo. Violets and pansies are per- haps the favorite flowers, but roses ap- pear partout, and some of the new trails of bloom are extraordinarily life- like. Lace Head Scarfs, A lace gown accessory confined to evening wear is a Tambour scarf long and wide enough to cover the head after the fashion of a mantilla and to fall almost to the foot of the gown. Double lace frills edge the entire bor- der and serve as an exquisite frame for a pretty face. The woman who goes with frequency to the opera and theatre, and who desires to avoid the risk of catching cold from being hat- less, will find this scarf a gracefully picturesque addition to ker evening costume. For the Poster Girl. The girl with the “poster craze” will appreciate the gift of one or two pos- ters for her den on her birthday, and a neat little hanger attached to each one will be greatly appreciated. Cut a small circle about one inch in diam- eter from a white card—one end of an old-style visiting card will do. In the centre of this cut a circular hole three- eighths of an inch in diameter, and through this pass a piece of baby rib- bon two inches long. Paste the two ends of the ribbon together on the back of the poster, near the top, but do not let the ring show above. The circular hole will easily slip over a nail and the poster will hang flat against the wall. ————— Tinting Dress Goods. ‘A secret worth knowing is how to tint laces, chiffons, silk or crocheted buttons, feathers, slippers, gloves, ete, to a gown shade. The process is vouched for by the National Dress- makers’ Association, from whose jour- nal it is taken. The materials required are oil paints in tubes and gasoline. The gasoline is placed in a porcelain bowl and the paint is dissolved in it. The work has to be done quickly, and of course, in a fireless room. Mix the paint to the required shade in a saucer, comparing it with the goeds till the right color. When the exact tone is reached, mix with the gasoline and dip the lace or whatever is to be dyed quickly before the paint falls to the bottom. Do not let the goods touch the bottom, as there might be a spot of paint there. A hairpin comes in handily to hold the edge of the goods. Shake out quickly and pin up to dry. It is well to make a few experiments before risking costly material, but the process is really not at all formidable. — pn Separate Evening Waists Elaborate. The separate waist is claiming much attention, and it ig not, by the way, attention which goes at all amiss. Lin- gerie is the term by which many of these handsome models are known, and never before have such stunning mod- els been brought from abroad for women to wear. They are almost too frail to don, and one might think by the sheerness and fineness of the ma- terials used, that they were made to be looked at simply. The contents of grandmother’s trunk or wardrobe are scanned for just this sort of thing, and the modern maid has indeed been for- tunate in having a dear grandmother whose clothes she can wear, buf many of the oldtime fabrics have not been reproduced, and some of the new ones are not quite so pretty. The evening waist of fine lawn is g0- ing to be quite a popular model for the spring season when one wishes to dis- card the evening gown and many yards of fine lace of all kinds are used as the decoration. Shirrs are used extensively as a rimming, and one model had the entire yoke formed of these shirrs very far apart.—Newark Advertiser. Important Little Things. When my boy Frank had been mar- ried for a few weeks I dropped into his apartment one evening as he and his wife were at dinner. I discovered him sitting opposite her with a newspaper held up before his face, absorbed in reading. If he had given me a blow between the eyes he could not have hurt me mote. I said nothing to him a small matter, and he staggered me by saying that he often read the paper while he sat at the table with Jean- nette. “Do you read aloud to her?’ I asked, and he shook his head. ‘She doesn’t care much about the news,” he replied. It took me a long time to make him see that his reading the newspaper at the table was a purely selfish act, not serious in itself per- haps, but certainly unfair to his table companion. The word unfair opened his eyes, for I have rubbed it into him all his life that unfairness of any kind is not only one of the most con- temptible of all qualities, but one of the greatest causes of unhappiness be- tween people. Fairness—that is the quality that keeps married people in harmony, just as it harmonizes all per- sons.—Everybody’s Magazine. Fashion and Health, About a century ago there flourished in this country a gentleman with a large family of daughters with whom he was accustomed to co:respond al- most daily while they were away at school. His letters contained so much wise advice that they were later col- lected for publication. From the viéw- point of our twentieth century wisdom some of the parental admonitions are rather amusing, says Robert Webster Jones, in the Housekeeper. For in- stances, this: “My. Dear Daughter— Though, good health is;.one of the one should life, greatest blessings of never boast of ifs pos ion. We so naturally associdite the idea of femi- nine softness and delicacy with a cor- responding delicacy of constitution, that when a woman speaks of her great strength, her extraordinary ap: petite, her ability to bear exercise, fatigue, we recoil at the description in a way she is little aware of.” Science fashion rules us all, men and women alike; how delightful to think that nowadays it is fashionable to be healthy! In Beau Brummel’s day, the mincing dandy, who found all exertion “such ‘a bore,” held(the centre of the stage. The hero, the heroine also, posed most of the time as an inter- esting invalid. He was always going to Bath or one of the German spas to “take the water.” She was supposed to subsist entirely upon dainty tid-bits that would hardly have kept a canary alive, and a predilection for anything ‘so substantial as beefsteak and onions would have been thought disgraceful. The athletic man and girl are the cen- tres of popular admiration to-day. For once, fashion and common sense have joined hands. Let us hope that the union will be a permanent one.—In- diana Farmer. i rt Well Groomed Hair. The essential thing is not so much that you should be born beautiful as that you should know how to achieve beauty. Every woman whose features are not disfigured, whose skin is clear and whose blood is not congenitally thin, can achieve for herself a fair amount of good looks. Good grooming is the method, gnd good grooming just means making the most of one’s personal ap- pearance. It means keeping the hair glossy and fluffy, the skin free from blemish or roughness, the hands well manicured and the teeth in perfect condition. It is as important to culti- vate one’s self as it is to cultivate one’s garden or one’s business. And really nothing contributes to or takes from a woman's cha pearance as the condition and 14 of her hair. Untidy hair, neglected hair, inbecomingly arranged hair will destroy the beauty of features or color. Always on taking down hair at night it should be brushed out straight, the scalp brushed for three or four min- utes and the hair loosely braided to keep it from snarling. This brushing not only stimulates the circulation. but cathers dust out of the hair and so keeps the scalp clean, also by remov- ing all dust it leaves the hair free to reveal its natural lustre. It is impos- sible to have healthy, and so beautiful hair, if the scalp is clogged by dust or dandruff. Brushing and washing will remove both. To thoroughly clean the hair it must be washed in soft water, rain water, if possible; if not, then city water with a pinch of pure borax to soften it. An excellent shampoo for hair that re- quires thorough cleaning is compound- od of: One ounce of powdered Castile soap; one ounce of borax; two table- spoonfuls of alcohol; beaten yolk of an one pint of warm water. Keep tightly corked. After rubbing the hair and scalp thoroughly with the shampoo it should be rinsed with clear soft warm water and then with clear cold water and thoroughly dried either in the sun or by artificial heat. The thorough rinsing of the hair is most essential, as the circulation is impeded at the roots and the hair it- self does not “breathe” properly f choked or clogged with slightest par- ticle of soap, egg, ete. Careful drying is especially essential for oily hair, which holds the moisture 2 nd accumu- lates dust. If washing in soft water and thorough drying will not destroy the greasy look of hair, then try the following lotion: One drachm of bisulphite of quinine, one-half ounce of salt; thr >-fourths of borax; one pint of water. scalp night and morning dress egg; pe pie an ounce of at the time. The next day I had a talk with my boy. He seem that I was making a go i ply to the sponge, rubb the scalp THE, PULPIT. AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON .BY ..THE REV. W. M. BRUNDACE. Subject: True Mission of the Church. Erooklyn, N. Y.—For the first sermon of his: pastorate of the Unity Unitar- ian Church,-the Rev. W. M. Brundage took for his. subjeet Sunday morning “The True Mission of the Church.” The text was from I. Timothy iii: 13: “The church of the living God.” In the course of a stroig sermon, list: ened to by a large audience, he said: From the conditions which prevailed a few centuries ago, when the church was. without a rival to contest its au- thority, to its present condition, when it must contend with numerous com- petitors for the very right to exist, humanity has taken a long stride for: ward. ¥reedom has come to be more than a mere name. Multitudes of peo- ple have seriously begun to think and act for themselves. Less and less is the church able to live upon its record in the past; more and more has it be- come manifest that it must justify its continued existence by the work that it does, by the service that it renders to society. Unless our churches of every name can be brought into vital and helpful relations to the real life of the people, they are doomed to per- ish. The traditions of the past cannot save them. Their service in the past, great though it has been, cannot jus- tify their present existence. Do they minister in an essential manner to the best life of to-day? ‘An affirmative ans swer to this question constitutes their only justification. --Brotherhoods, clubs, philanthropic = associations without number are competing with them; li- braries, newspapers and periodicals, and educational institutions are doing much of thé work which they once did, work that-was formerly left -ex- clusively to them. We find nothing in the origin of the church that entitles it to claim a divine right to persist. If it persists it will be because it does a better work for society than. any other institution can do. What is this work that the churches are qualified to perform better than other institutions? Can they feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit and comfort the sick and sorrowing, care for those who are.in prison,” minister to the orphan and the outcast, in fine, engage in all sorts of strictly philan- thropic activity Detter than multi- tudes of existing. benevolent institu- tions? = Certainly the churches will continue to do such work as this, be- cause they are organizations of those who love and serve their fellowmen. But clearer and clearer does it become manifest that other institutions can do most kinds of philanthropic workas well as, if not better than, the churches. On the whole, the great fraterni- ties everywhere established in our times can do it better. The organized charities of our cities, the prison re- form associations, the humane socie- ties and others can do it better, more economically, more effectively. Can the churches, however, continue to maintain themselves as centres for the propagation of great dogmatic sys- tems, or, on the other hand, as centres of mere protest against the dogmatic systems of the past? I do not believe that they can. The forum for the dis- cussion of such systems is being rap- idly shifted from the pulpit to tke press. The great magazines and re- views and religious newspapers of our time afford a more favorable field for their discussion, while the masses of the people care less and less for them. Incidentally the churches will continue to urge upon their people what they believe to be a true philosophy of God, of the universe and of man, but this work alone cannot justify their con- tinued existence. Neither as purely sacramentarian in- stitutions can the churches long retain their hold upon any large number of the people, because with the growth and extension of new knowledge th claims of sacramentarianism are rap- idly becoming discredited. What is called “the high church reaction” so widely known is after all but a reac- tion and cannot be permanent in its influence. It is but a return to the childhood of religion, and the thinking world demands the religion of a man. Can the churches, however, continue to maintain themselves as social clubs, as organizations of congenial people who come together to enjoy one an- other's companionship? But when there are so many social clubs in every community, membership in’ which can be restricted to people of congenial tastes and kindred pur- suits as membership in even the most exclusive church cannot be, I do not believe that the churches can long justify their existence as the mere com- petitors of these clubs. Has the church then outlived its use- fulness and is it about to pass away? Certainly not, if it arouses itself and, becoming conscious of its true mission, resolutely devotes itself “» its dis- tinctive work. This, I believe, is what the churches can do better than any other institution—they can and do, in multitudes of instances, act as great inspirational centr.s ministering to the life: of the spirit, to the iife of the ideal, to the life of God in the soul of man. They cone into vital ind helpful relations with the people a just so as they inspire to high thinking and feeling and loving, in just so far as they inspire and quicken the religious life of the community. Let the churches, therefore, cea:-2 regarding themselves as authoritative ecclesiastical institutions, authorita- tive sacramentarian or dogmatic in- stitutions, and become free democratic religious societies for the propagation of pure and undefiled religion, for in- spiration to high and worthy ideals, for actually helping men “to do justly and love mercy, and to walk humbly with their God.” The churches that are most truly and profoundly religious forces will best justify their existence in the twentieth century. To foster and develop the distinet- ively religious life of humanity, this 4s the true mission of the churches. They must be light-givers and life- givers. They must be spiritually alive in order that they may impart life, for life is what most counts. The outward activities of the churches must be the natural expression of what they are. The methods for the expression of this religious life ill be varied be- cause the di of men vary. This or form of activ- that particular ity is unessential. A ionger. or .a shorter ritual of worship is unessenti«l, provided the light and power of relig- ion are present. Faith, worship, as- piration, loving human service, these are the essential elements in religion and the forms in which they embody themselves will be vital. The living, inspirational church that is saving men from worldliness and practical materialism, that is helping them to see the unseen and eternal, that is helping them to worship in the noblest sense of that word—that is, to attribute supreme worth to the lofty ideals of justice, truth, love, which are only another name for God, to love and revere the§e ideals, and to devote themselves with perfect ‘consecration to their realization in human society— such a.ehurch is fulfilling its true mis- sion, by -whatever name that church may alled, and is in no danger of being discredited in our modern life. In such a church there will be no distinction between classes, between the rich and the poor, no lingering caste spirit, no recognition of a difference of rank and dignity between ministers and people: in the conscious presence of the All Father there will be perfect equality between the worshipers. In such a church there will be no spirit of solemn gloom miscalled rev- erent awe, gan inheritance from a prim- itive religion of fear, but a spirit of radiant hope; of abounding joy, of genuine human sympathy, the. spirit of a larger home. The themes of the pulpit of such a church will be closely related. to the actual needs of the people. selected from every quarter, but selected solely that their consideration may minister most effectively to personal and s0+ cial righteous character, Membership in such a church will be unrestricted, free to all who share a common spirit and are seriously working toward a common ideal end. In such a church there will be mo jealous rivalries between the members, but in place of these a generous spirit of émulation to servé one another and thé common cause. As I said before; the practical activities of such .an in: spirational church will not be artificial and foreed; they will be the perfectly natural . expression of the vigorous religiods life of minister and people. In Wiser Hands: A lady, who had been three or four years away from’ her childhood’s home and seéttled~in one of her own, wus taken’ seriously-ill.’ ‘Her mother, with all ‘4 mother’s: solicitude, was anxious to be with-her daughter at once, and hastened to. her bedside. She found skilful physicans in attendance and a: trained nurse in charge; there was: really nothing. for her to do—mnothing that she could be permitted to do. Day after day she rhade brief, silent visits to the si¢k room (even her pres- ence could not be allowed long) and went away ‘powerless. to aid. The ministering-was in wiser, more efficient hands than hers, and she could not be trusted with it—would not have dared to, trust herself with it. “But it seems strange,” she said, sadly, one day, “that even I, her mother; ¢éan only stand aside and do nothing. There never before wasn't a time when ‘mother’ wasn’t the one to help and comfort; it seems as if it ought to be so still, and yet I would be afraid to do anything but keep hands off and trust to a knowledge and strength that is greater than my own.’ It is the same in ‘many a spiritual crisis through which we see our dear ones pass. We long to lift the burden, to lighten the trials, to bestow the covered gift; but the Great Physician holds the precious soul in His hands, the hands that will make no mistake, and we can only stand aside and trust Him.—Forward. The Thing Worth While. I know that many of you are puzzled to know in what direction you can start to help Christ to help the world. Let me say this to you in that connec- tion: Once I'came to a crossroad in the old life and did not know in which direction God wanted men to help hasten His kingdom. I started to read the Book to find out what the ideal life was, and I found that the only thing worth doing in the world was to do the will of- God; whether that was done in the pulpit or in the slums; whether it was done in the college or class room, or on the street, did not matter at all. “My meat and drink,” Christ said, “is to do the will of Him that sent Me,” and if you make up your mind that you are going to do the will of God above everything else, it matters little in what direction you work. There are more posts waiting for men than there are men waiting for posts. Christ needs men in every community and in every land; it matters little whether we go to foreign lands. or stay at home, as long as we are sure we are where God puts us.—Henry Drummond. “The Loving Look.” Some years ago we witnessed a pub- lic examination of a class of little girls at the end of ‘the school term. The distractions of much dressing and much company operated pretty severe- ly on the fickle memories of the chil- dren. One little friend losi herself in confusion and stammered to a dead stop in her recitation. Just then her mother moved from out the crowd and took a seat in full view of the little one. The loving look of that silent face brought order out of confusion. Mind and tongue immediately resumed their functions, everything was lost sight of and the lessons all: came back in per- fect order. The examination was fin- ished in triumph. Many a time:sitice then as we have seen some struggling heart confused by the world’s ;noise and temptation we have felt like bidding it look up into the familiar face of the Heavenly Father and be reassured that all is weil. Not only is there life in a look at the beginning, but there is assur- ance and confidence all along the way. Prayed For Six Years.

THE TRICKS Coffee Plays on Some, It hardly pays to laugh before you are certain of faets, for it is sometimes humiliating to think of afterwards. “When I was a young girl I was a lover of coffee, but was sick so much the doctor told me to quit and I did, but after my marriage my husband begged me to drink it again as he did not think it was the coffee caused the troubles. “So I commenced it again and eon- tinued about 6 months until my stom- ach commenced acting bad and choking as if I had swallowed something the size of an egg. One doctor said it was neuralgia and indigestion. “One day I took a drive with my hus- band three miles in the country and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I thought sure I would die before I got back to town to a doctor. I was drawn double in the buggy and when my hus- band hitched the horse to get me out into the doctor's office, misery came up in my throat and seemed to shut my, breath off entirely, then left all in a flash and went to my heart. The doc- tor pronounced it nervous heart trouble and when I got home I was so weak I could not sit up. “My husband brought my supper to my bedside with a nice cup of hot coffee, but 1 said: ‘Take that back, dear, I will never drink another cup of coffee if yod gave me everything you are worth, for it is just killing me.” He and the others laughed at me and said: ‘The idea of coffee killing anybody.’ “ ‘Well, I said, ‘it is nothing else but coffee that is doing it.’ “In the groeéry one day my husband was persuaded to buy a box of Postum which he brought home and I made it for dinner and we both thought how good it was but said nothing to the hired men and they thought they had drank coffee until we iaughed and told them. Well, we kept on with Postum and it was not long before the color came back to my and I got stout and felt as good as I ever did in my life.
