The chiffon scarfs which a sounRg woman artist in this town is painting are exquisite. Some of the patterns show Moorish or Japanese designs, .and others flowers in naturalistic style. Made of two yards of chiffon, each is painted from an original design. These scarfs are to be worn around the neck, with the ends fastened in front or thrown over the right shoulder. A ‘pale vellow one recently finished and showing a desigu of white blossoms, is one of the most effective, "A Woman's Pocket, The smart girl has conceived the idea of having a pocket on her sleeve. At any rate, that's where a small pock- et—a bultoned-ever patch pocket—is now to be found. It is seen on both cloth and velvet coats and is some- times placed near the shoulder, or quite as often just above the cuff. Its special use is for holding change and subway and elevat tickets, but many times it also carefully hides from view a bit of powder-puff and a safety pin or two. A kid pocket looks very smart on a cloth jacket but when the pocket makes its appearance on a vel- vet coat it is in best taste to have it of ,the same material as the coat though the lap may fasten over with a jeweled button.—Woman's Home Companion. . Jaunty Tcgues Minus Trimming. Jaunty little toques made from folds of chiffon or panne velvet are much in vogue for the windy days. Many of the shapes are without a vestiage trimming, the beauty of the hat being in the curved lines and the soft, shim- mering fabrie, and—best of all—in its fondness for clinging to the hair where it is pinngd. The large hat in windy weather is a destroyer of good dispositions, and sensible women now count among their possessions at least one small toque or turban. Velvet flowers are becoming more exquisite in their colorings every seas- on and many of the spring hats are trimmed with a simple wreath of vel- vet leaves. But the fact that the wreaths are simple in effect does not make them- the less expensive; they are costly trimmings. Truthful Children, Never punish a child when he con- fesses he has done wrong. To do so is really to encourage him to tell lies. Many a child has got into the habit of telling untruths simply because he knew he would he punished if he con- fessed. Let him see and try to make him understand how it grieves ycu, but train him to look on you as a friend to whom he can tell all his child- ish misdeeds without fear of punish- ment to follow. “A place for everything and every- thing in its place,” is a motto that should be framed, glazed and hung up in every kitchen, nursery and schocl- room, so that children and young peo- ple may become familiar with it. If well observed, how much comfort and what freedom from annoyance it pro- duces! Children should have early lessons in order, one of the first be- ing to insist that they put away all toys and playthings before going to bed, says Woman's Life. Mothers should not fail to see that girls and boys alike fold up and put away articles of dress they are not wearing, and that they put soiled linen into bags or baskets, which should be provided in every bedroom. Boys should be made to be neat and orderly as well as girls. Order and neatness are of as much value to a man as to a woman when it comes to fight- ing the battle of life. American Women Walk Little. “In three menths in New York I never once saw an American woman out for walk, much less did I ever sce one enjoying the air of the public parks. They are always in a bustle always in a hurry, always have they got something important to de. There is no time to get the air. “Now, the English woman does not work in this way. She looks after her own children and frequently takes them to schocl. Then she does her own marketing. An American woma will spend money on telephone mes- sages calling up the butcher, the bak- er, and the candistick maker, giving her orders for the day. “The English woman, on the other hand, will get out and* do her own marketing. She will order her meats and her groceries and will go frém green-grocer to green-grocer selecting what is to be eaten during the day. “And the result is obvious.

The Cause of Many Mothers’ Grief, You can’t know just what hurt there is to a mother in the ingratitude of the children for whom she has sac- rificed herself. That knowledge ma not come to you until you feel the same hurt yourself from ungrateful children. But you can understand one phase of her feelings by your experi ence. There was probably never a small girl who did not long to be ald enough to go around with the other girls, to share their fun and their secrets. Don’t you recollect it? Don’t you remember how you “tagged” after the big girls and how sore your heart was within you When they guouted you of tha same “tagging” or of ‘sncoping” or of “always hanging aang where you weren't wanted?’ Do you recall the sting of the tears that filled your eyes, the burning of your heart as you went off by yourself while they turned to those joys you thougnt must be so de- lightful? ‘Well, that is sometimes the ‘way mothers feel. Only it is the younger people they would like to go with. They don’t “tag on,” because they are tco proud for it, or because you have rebuffed them until they shrink from trying it. But do you suppose they don’t mind being left out in the cold while you go on your merry way? Don’t you believe they like it? Per- haps they might not care to do all the things you are doing, but they would at least like the chance to refuse. They love to be made to feel that they are wanted. Try it and see if they don't, . Of course, there are plenty of vig- orous, busy women who have their own friends, their own clubs, their own social life. am not talking of them, although even they enjoy being made one with their girls. But my appeal now is in behalf of the women wio now is in behalf of the woman who else, and who has been “mother” for for so long that she has little life out- side her children and her home. Think about her, girls. Consider her all you can. It is not likely that she has ever knowingly put her own happiness ahead of yours. Can you not try for the rest of the time you have her—for they don’t stay forever, my dears—can’t you try to see what it’ would make life to her if you would never seek your own pleasure when it meant distress or neglect to her? It may seem hard at first, but I think you will be repaid by the comfort and happiness you will bring to the dear woman.—Indianapolis News. Fashion Notes. All the new blouses have a wide- sihculdered effect, but not the old drooping one. There has been a decided revival of crepe lately. For a time this depres- sing garb of mourning was put aside by the majority of women, except for trimming purpcses.

A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. DR. H, C- SWENTZEL. Subject: The Divinity of Christianity. Brooklyn, N. Y.—For the first of series of sermons on “The Religion of Jesus Christ,” the Rev. Dr. Henry C. Swentzel, rector of St. Luke's Church, Clinton avenue, near Fulton street, preached Sunday on “The Divinity of Christianity.” The text was from 1 Timothy i:11: “The Glorious Gospel of the Blessed God.” Dr. Swentzel said in the course of his sermon: Christianity shows the credentials of divinity. It is not a set of doctrines and principles which ion or even the best of them have invented, but it professes to come directly from the in- finite Jehovah Himself. It is not sim- ply one among the world’s religions. It stands alone and is unique in the manner and method of its origin. It was not whispered into the ear of a seer by the Almighty; it is not the result of visions; it is not the product of learning and piety. It comes direct- ly from the infinite God, who actually adopted human nature in order that He might talk with mankind face to face. It is immeasurably more divine than the religion of Moses and the prophets because it was delivered personally by the inearnate Lord Himself. The themes of which He treats are of such tremendous moment that any solutiol of them ought to be carefully scrutin- ized. Who and what is: God? Who and what. is man? What is. the true ideal for the present? What is ihe outlook for the future? What of iil mortality and heaven? To these in- terrogatories. the Lord speaks with tones of infallibility which popes and synods have not dared to initiate or even to claim. The author of the Ser- mon on the Mount was the eternal Son of God and His religion is pothing less than “the glorious gospel of the blessed God. x To say that Jesus of Nazareth is a divine Being is not synonymous with the error which calls Him a divine man. There have been many divine men—men who had a mission and a message from the Most High, men who were called to lead humanity to better ame nobler things; sons of men who were filled with God’s spirit, and et not their life dear if it were spent in His service, prophets of re- form, prophets of liberty, prophets of philosophy or literature or art. . In the hall of fame stand the images of the vast army of divine souls who have been the champions of God's cause .and the captains of His hosts in every clime. In a far loftier sense, in a literal sense which warrants no jugeglery of words and no legerdemain cf metaphysics, was Jesus Christ, God’s' Son, His only Son. The Chris- tian Scriptures propose this sublime trath which should be hailed with uni- versal acclaim. It is constantly as- sumed in the four gospels, even as it was by Himself, that, though He was born of the Virgin Mary, He was still, in the later language of the Nicene Creed, “God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God.” In one way or another Qur Lord de- clared His divinity time and again. He made Himself God's equal with such plainness that even His enemies could not mistake it. They accused Him of sacrilege so strongly that they wrung from Him the well-remembered reply: “Say ye to Him whom the Fa- ther hath sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemer, because I said I am the Son of God?’ It is true that He loved to speak of Himself as “the Son of Man,” but that title really was His assertion of deity. He might have been a son of man without being a divine personage, but He could not be truly the son of man unless He were, more than all, the Son of God. It is no wonder than when the people beheld His moral perfection and saw His works and listened to the truths as they seemed to come from the mouth of God, they asked, “Who is this Son of Man?” The record of the memorable interview, which has often been conspicuous in the churcl’s re- gard, should not lightly be put aside. The Lord said to His disciples, “Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? Whom say ye that I am?’ Then it was that Simon Peter made the great confession, “Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” In advance of His birth the archangel gave this as- surance to the Virgin Mother, “That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” And when the end came and Jesus had breathed out His life on the Calvary cross, the words of the Roman Centu- rion were a fitting finale for the record of His mortal career, “Truly this man was the Son of God.” The divinity of the Founder of Chris- tianity justifies the certitude of His disciples. This absolute certitude should be appreciated. We how will- ingly take the Lord at His word. And Yet He does not demand that the dis- ciples shall enslave themselves—He who came to make them free, to give them ‘the liberty of the glory of fis children of God.” That liberty is sur ly not a dead Totton The Divine Mas- ter would not put shackles on the human mtelloet He does not dis- courage the eonservatism which dis- dains to consider the present or to look for a golden age in the future.

Doubts are not necessarily sinful. who never think will never It could scarcely be expec ted Chu istianity y nd not cause It has to « men. Ordinarily people have. .poor training for such exalted spiritual con- ceptions as are presented by the Son of Mary. We are schooled to earthly things, circumstances assien most of our time and energy to temporal occu- pations; we live in a world of sense, and the constant tendency is to say that the only things that are worth while are the things which are seen. There are doubts ‘which proceed from pride and conceit; there are people who are convinced that it is time to break. away from a religion which was instituted nearly 20060 years ago; there are those who are seriously per- shaded that they know entirely too much for them to consent to accept the i of Bethlehem and Calvary, the Holy Sepulchre and the Mount of Ol- ives. Of course they deny our plat form—they. i say that Jesus was not the Son. of God. To us who believe in the Lord’s divinity there is this sure refuge, this safe hiding place from the storms. When doubts arise, although we should do our best to dispose of them, we should remember every mo- ment in ‘the face of mysteries and contradictions and of alleged offenses against the intellect that the Founder of Christianity could have made no mistake because He was the Son of God. Christianity is divine because of the divinity of the Founder, and it is be- cause of this divinity that Christianity has endured thus long and all changes and connections and progress shall survive until the end of time. One of the many tokens of its heavenly char- acter is that it bas confronted all the powers of darkness and has carried the day in every struggle and on every field. From the outset an effort has been made to banish it from the face of the earth. More than once has it appeared that *‘the glorious Gospel of the Blessed God” might possibly be obliterated; but somehow after each battle the banners of the eux have waved in trium ph and God’s truth has won,” Does any one inguire respecting outcome?

The Hidden Sin. A majestic tree fell at its prime—fell on a calm evening, when there was Scarcely 'a breath of air stirring. If had withstood a century of storms and now was broken off by a zephyr. The secret was disclosed at its fall- ing. A boy’s hatchet had been struck into it when it was a tender sapling. The wound had been grown over and hidden away under exuberant life, but it had never healed. There at the heart of the tree it stayed, a spot of decay, ever eating a little farther and deeper into the trunk, until at last the tree was rotted through and fell of its own weight when it seemed to be at its best. So do many lives fall when they seem to be at their strongest because some sin or fault of youth has left its wounding and consequent weakness at J. R. the heart.—Dr. Miller. God’s Do able P Turion. God manifestly has a double purpose in view in bestowing blessings upon an individual, namely, the good of tne individual and the larger and wider benefits that .others may receive through the individual. To Abraham He said, “Blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multipiy thee.” It is an experimental fact that me: are enriched in the best things by im- par » them to others. So it is that graces are enriched by leading other into gracious ways of living. So it that character is improved by the work of ‘character building in others, and truth more securely and deeply rooted in us by teaching it to others.

Many stories have been written about dogs who travel on railways, pay no fares, and are cared for by trainmen as carefully as if they were railroad presidents. Such dogs have found a rival—a handsome Maltese cat. Six years ago this pussy was almost the sole survivor of the wreck of an Ohio steamer. In some mysterious way she appeared at the Union station in Cincinnati and appealed to the sym- pathies of-the employes. As she showed a desire to travel, they furnished her with a collar, on which her name was inscribed, to- gether with a few words recommend- ing her to the care of railroad men everywhere.

Little Billie Little Billie was a pig who lived in a very nic en in the barnyard. Now, Little Billie had one very bad habit, and that was not heeding the advice ef his mother. One day Little Billie's mamma said to him: “Now Billie, I want you to stay in the pen with me today, and not to do as you crawl out under the slats, for one of theses fine days you will wander away and get lost, and then I won't have my little piggie wiggie any more.” As Little Billie was the last of her nine babies, his nother was extremely fond of him.

After he was safely on the other side, he stopped and listened—he heard only the grunts of his mother as she lay deep in the cool mud. He bad made up his mind to go a little farther away from the pen today than he had gone yesterday, and his mother’s talk of the morning had only decided the matter in this naughty little pig’s mind. On he went—on either side of him rose high trees (fully twice as high as Little Billie—and the path was just wide enough for him to run along in nicely. What if he should meet a wild beast! He had heard his mother tell of the strange animals of which she had heard before she came to live in Farmer Brown's pen. Wild, fierce an- imals, too, some of them had been, and the thought of meeting any like them made the bristles stand up straight on Little Billie’s back, and his little heart went pit-a-pat in his did not turn back, partly because the path did not seem to be wide enough to admit of his turning, and partly because he really wanted a little adventure all his own.

It vas large—as large as his mother, but it had a beard like Farmer Brown’'s—a long white beard, which it shook angrily from side to side as 1 he it saw Little Billie. It had two tails which stuck straight up on the top of its head, between its fierce eyes— curied tails, like his own little twisted tail. What should he do? The path was so narrow and the trees so close to- gether that turning was almost an impossibility. He remained motion- less moment while the wild beast aprcached him with head lower- ed, glaring at him from under two bushy eyebrows.
