Had She Forgotten? My little cousin, aged eight, was eating dinner one day when some lit- tle girls came to play with her, says the Chicago Tribune. "They would not come into the house, but said they would--play-in the swing until she came out. Soon her little brother, aged six, left the room, and she said: “O, Wal- ter can’t eat; he wants to go and flirt with the girls.”” Her mother was surprised and asked her what flirting meant. She looked up and said, innocently, “Why, mamma, have you forgotten?” Exaggerated. Clothes. Some women always dress loudly, always wear the extremes of fashion, and even exaggerate extremes. If checked cloth, pointed shoes, short coats, or long coats are in style, they insist on broader checks, more pointed shoes, shorter skirts and longer coats than the Fashion pre- scribes. In other words, everything is ex- aggerated, so that people will think that they are not only right up to fashion, but also a little ahead. Women who dress in ‘this manner suffer, because such things indicate certain character qualities—inordin- ate vanity, an overestimation of one’s importance, superficialify, = foolisi- ness.—New Haven Register. Advice to Wives, Nothing is so consoling to a wor- ried man of affairs as to know that he can always find a harbor of refuge in his home, Hence (advises an observant wom- an) the wife should seek always to make -the home an abode of peace. Her troubles and perplexities should be reserved for discussion when he is comfortable and at leisure, and not sprung upon him the moment he en- ters the house at the close of his day’s work. Many men fight their way success- fully through years of anxious busi- ness toil only to be broken down at last -by the frets and jars of ill-man- aged households and the incessant gabble of wives who insist on delug- ing them with their domestic griev- ances.—New York Journal. Telephone Voice. “Next ta knowing how 1 look,” said the busy woman, “I'd like to know how my voice counds over the telephone. I am quite sure it doesn’t sound natural. Nobody else’s does. Most people keep their telephone voice packed away with their com- pany manners. It is so different from the tones of ordinary use that it is hardly recognizable. Take our man- ager’s voice, for example. In general conversation his voice is so heavy that it fairly makes the furniture rattle, but when he gets busy at the telephone, especially if there hap- pens to be a woman at the other end of the wire, he assumes so many vocal graces that you would think Caruso himself was at the ’phone. Even girls—and they talk more nat- urally than men—employ many strange inflections, so it stands to rea- son that I must do the same.” Miss Cromwell Cooks Rice. They tell a good story on Miss Do- rothea Cromwell. She has not been brought up as a housekeeper, her at- tention being devoted rather to de- velopment of her talents as a musi- cian, painter and whip. But a short time -ago she visited the bungalow of a young matron in Long Island’s ut- termost part, and in the course of her stay both the maids took French leave. Miss Cromwell valiantly es- sayed to aid her chum, pending the arrival of the new maids ordered from Manhattan by telephone. She found two pounds of rice in the bijou kitchen, and, while. her married friend was kneading dough for bis- cuits the society girl undertook to make a pudding. Pouring the entire two pounds of rice into a pot, she set it to boil, and she was astonished to see the vast bulk the cereal at- tained. As the boiling continued the rice swelled and swelled until soon Miss Cromwell was ladling it out with both hands. That is to say, she had a ladle in each hand, and both were kept busy. She filled all the other vessels in the kitchen, but stiil the rice swelled. In the end Miss Cromwell and her chum had to throw most of the cereal outdoors to keep it from boiling over. It is said the society girl since then has taken great interest in cooking schools.— New York Press. When Girls Try to Please Men. One very often sees in the journals devoted to women a list of rules by which the uninitiated members of the weaker sex may win the affections of the stronger. These usually be- gin, ‘““Never be late in keeping an appointment,” go on with much good advice about wearing roses and smiles when greeting their lordships, and end ‘‘Be a good listener, but talk little,” says the Baltimore News. Exactly what wiseacre compounds these sage axioms, deponent refuses to state, but sometimes one is in- clined to believe that it is a man. The writer knows a number of ‘young women who are extremely pop- ular with men, and who count their suitors by the score, but not one of these was ever in time for an en- gagement in her life. All pride them- selves on being unpunctual, selfish and somewhat heartless. A young woman remarked brazen- ly the other ‘day that men did not like girls who were too prompt. “They prefer to be kept waiting a bit,” she said. ‘‘They don’t like you to seem too anxious. In fact, -that old verse about a woman, a spaniel and a walnut tree originally read ‘a man, a spaniel and a walnut tree— the more you beat them the better they be.’ ’’ And then she broke an engage- ment with an adoring youth by tele- phone and went off to take a walk with a young woman of whom she is fond. The married woman present pro- tested cynically: “A man may like a woman who makes him we and flouts him before he is married to her; he doesn’t after. "Why, when I met John I treated him exactly as Helen is now treating Robert. I broke engagements with him when- ever it suited me to do so, and it did very often. If I had an appoint- ment to lunch with him somewhere down town at 1 o'clock I would stroll in at “2; cool and calm, to find my fiance probably swearing inwardly, but outwardly composed and delight- ed to see me. ‘At least,” I used to say self, ‘he can see I am not running af: ter him.” My treatment of him had been so. scurvy during our betrothal that I really believe John was not quite sure the day we we married whether I would be on hand or not. He was at the house at an unseemly hour to knew whether I was well, and was up, and would be on time. I.was only twenty minutes late at the church, but that was because father made such a row that I had to zo then. “The first time that I was to meet John to take luncheon with him after the wedding he made the hour 1.30. ‘That will give you plenty of time to make a grand toilet and arrive in time,” he said, and then he added, so- berly, ‘I should advise you to be punctual.’ : “I arrived at 2.30 and looked ahout for John. He was nowhere in sight, but after awhile a bell boy came to me and asked me if I were Mrs. Blank, and when I said I was he in- formed me that Mr. Blank had waited for me fifteen minutes and then gone back to his office. “I ate luncheon alone and had it out with John that night. ‘My dear,’ he said, ‘I have spenttwo years, more or less, waiting for you. Now I have made up my mind I will do it no more... You must be in time for ap- pointments with me or you will not find me.’ “That was three years ago, and I am the most punctual person imagin- able now. I am telling: you this merely as an illustration that though men may be attracted by indiffer- ence and carelessness before they are married, they make all possible haste to mold the girl of their choice into a punctual and thoughtful woman af- terward.”’ “Men like girls who treat them with indifference,” persisted one of her listeners, doggedly. “They may marry such a person, but they marry her to reform her if they do,” replied the married woman. ‘re Watermelon pink is a serviceable color for linen and chambray morn- ing gowns.

Med in” | to my- | tact with Subject: The Sabbath Day. Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, on the above theme, the pastor, the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, took as his text, Exodus 20:9-11: “Re- member the Sabbath: day, to keep it holy.” He said: . If Moses had never handed down this law of God for the guidance of Israel and of Christendom the truth would yet remain the same, that the Sabbath day should be kept holy. The Sabbath day i5 one of the great- est blessings mankind enjoys, wheth- er it be looked upon as the result of a divine decree or of human legisla- tion. Had God. never declared His will on this point it is_ very certain tumanity would from sheer force of necessity set one day in seven as God’s day, or if not as God's day, at least as a day of rest from toil. The Sabbath day, viewed from whatever stand vou may choose, is abundantly justified. It satisfies the needs of men spiritually and physic- ally. Tt is right; it is necessary, it is The longings of the human heart for bettér and fuller commun- wniwith the- -Fathef above are satis- d.peculiar manner, when men set aside one day a week for medita- tion, communion with God and for the cultivation of the soul. However much we may believe that the Christ life €hollld be our practice in all the walks of our busy life, and however well we- may put our theory. of the Christian life into action, the truth still is this, that we are better fitted for further victory and strengthened in larger measure for continued ser- vice when we set this one day aside in a special sense for God and for our own growth in grace through con- His people. The highest Christian life is the result of the cen- tering and pooling of like spiritual interests. ‘No man has so much en- thusiasm as he who is one of a com- pany whose hearts and minds are sin- gle unto service and whose lives are dominated by the same ideals. In the crowd, not the cloister. is the place for the Christian. God is at- tained most, easiest and best through contact with men of pure life and far vision rather than through personal concentration. This is not to say that meditation has not its place, for it is necessary. But it must not fill our lives to the harm of other inter- ests and duties. Communion with God, contact with God’s people, medi- tation and soul culture, all these are necessary to the man who would grow to be like Jesus, who would cul- tivate his spiritual powers. And the Sabbath is a special “day and a glorious means whereby we may strengthen the spiritual powers God has granted to us. Then. too, mankind needs a day of rest from material toil for the preser- vation of the physical powers. No man who does a fair day’s work six times a week and who earns an hon- est living by the sweat of his brow or with mental toil, is fit for six more save as he rests a day between. There is no man so foolish as the one who burns the light of life with never a stop to replenish the fuel that the body must receive To rest is not necessarily to be lazy. There can be no true rest save for the man who has earned it through willing and healthy toil. Rest is the due and the duty of every true workman. And if it be the need and the reward of those who have honorably and suf- ficiently labored, how much more must it be necessitous for those poor, downtrodden wretches whoare forced to work the wine press of modern business life until heart is sick and body wearied almost unto death? Ah, Yes, beloved, man needs the Sabbath —the rest day, as the Hebrews called it—for replenishment and recaarging with the physical energies that sus- tain life. The Sabbath day is set apart as a day of rest and worship. not without reason, but because it is right so to do. It is the duty of man to serve God all the time and in a special manner to draw near to Him once a week at least God is worthy of one- seventh of humanity’s time and undi- vided attention for that period. Je- hovah can’t do much for the soul that spends seven days a week in quest of a living, nor can that man who is foolish enough to so spend his time entirely get very near to God. Then, too, the Sabbath is a sensible insti- tution. We are all well aware that were it not the law of human life to quit work at least once a week we would all end soon in an early grave. The Sabbath with its beneficent blessings sets us on anew with re- cuperated bodies, with rested minds, with fresh hope in our hearts, with inspired souls, upon the days of the week that are to come if we use it rightly Had God not filled the hearts: of men with this truth that the Sabbath is a sensible institution —a business proposition, if you will, for the physical, mental and spiritual man—it is not hard to realize that greed would have us labor all thedays of our lives. Then, too, the Sabbath is a necessity. Man gives God but small chance in the six days of hurry and rush of the business life, no mat- ter how conscientious man may be. Man. on the other hand, cannot stand seven days of uninterrupted labor for long. For the conservation of human strength, for the upbuilding of the spiritual and religious life in man, for the glory of God and the en- trance of the soul into fellowship with Him, the Sabbath is a necessity. Without it we should become aged before our time and blunted in spir- itual perception. With it we may know the joy of true rest well earned and may take time to become like Jesus. In this day and time, and in this land, the divine authority of the Sab- bath must be emphasized and up- held. The words of Jesus which per- mitted men to do acts of mercy on the Sabbath and to secure enough to eat to restrain hunger and to sustain the human system, can never, logical- ly or righteously, be made an excuse apart” for unnecessary labor or for a general holiday. The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sahbath. But the Sabbath was instituted for the preservation and regeneration of the body and the inspiration and cul- tivation of the soul of man, and not as a means to idleness and loose liv- ing. There is a difference between the Sabbath and the Saturday half- holiday. And the general disregard by our people of the great memorial days that commemorate the birth of the nation, the sacrifice of her mar- tyrs, the advent of her mighty men, is but a reflex of that disregard of the meaning and the obligation of God's. day—the Sabbath—which He gave to man. People who will not re- vere the Lord will not long remem- ber Lincoln. Men who will cast aside the Saviour of the world cannot be expected to spend much time to com- memorate the deaths and sacrifices of the saviours of the Union. To put the Sabbath, the rest day, on Mon- day will not make men go to church; nor will the placing of Memorial Day on Sunday be efficient to turn the hearts of careless men to the contem- plation and commemoration of the blood that flowed at Harper's Ferry, Fort Sumter, Vicksburg, and the rest. The man who feels no sympathy for the Christ on Calvary will feel less for those who fell on the bloody field at Gettysburg. What to him are the birth pains of the nations? The tendency to turn the American Sabbath into a Continental Sunday is as’ perilous as it is pernicious... It strikes.at the religious, the best and the central life of the people. The endeavor to led to all sorts of loose living and misspent leisure. ° As between Puri- tanism and Continentalism give me the. law to the letter; rather than no law at all: The Sabbath should not be given over to riotous living. On the other handsinmour endeavor to escape with Christ the killing let- ter of the law. we have, I think, gone too far. There are many things that are necessary and that must be done on the Sabbath, and contrariwise, there are many things done on the Sabbath that could be as well done on wesk days, and as many more that could well be left undone altogether. The word of Christ that the Sabbath vas’ made for man can in no wise Xcuse the unnecessaty. labors that many tradesmen have to perform on Sunday. How many men and women who go to Coney Island or a hundred other places on Sunday can rightly plead necessity as excuse for putting extra labor upon multitudes of men? The Sunday paper tends to become a curse, not because it is unhealthy or unwise to read the news on the Sabbath, but because it puts unneces- sary labor, in the majerity of cases, upon a host and robs thousands of the common day cf rest. The man who: can’t get shaved on Saturday has no real excuse for making the barber work on the Sabbath. I do not want to descend to trivial things, but vou all know, as well as I, that there are a thousand and one things done that have no business to be performed on the Sabbath. We need a readjustment to-day in our estimate of values. Sunday as the Sabbath is a boon to man. Sun- day as a side show to the other six days of the week is a sacrilege. The Transforming Power of Life. The Arabs have a saying about the palm tree, that it stands with its feet in salt water and its head in the sun. They often cannot drink the brackish water found in the oasis where the palm grows, but they tap the tree and drink the sweet palm sap. The palm tree by the magic of its inner life can so change the elements found in the unkindly soil around it that they minister to its growth and strength and fruit-bearing. So we in our earthly life must often have our feet in the mire and bitterness of sin around us; and upon our heads will often beat the fierce heat of temptation. But in spite of these things we shall be able to grow and grow strong, if within there is the making of a new life through Jesus Christ.—Bible Advocate. Gentleness. The strength of God is very gentle. He does not make a great noise in lifting the tides or in speeding the stars in their courses. The sunshine is one of His greatest treasuries of power. He turns the hearts of stal- wart sinners by the touch of infant fingers or by the memory of a pious mother’s spiritual beauty and fidelity. By loving invitations, tender encour- agements and manifold ministries of patience and sympathy, He encour- ages the penitence and the faith of sinful and weak human hearts. His children should seek more of His gen- tleness.. We are too easily tempted to bluster and violence. We forget that gentleness is greatness as well as goodness. If we would do brave deeds, let us scek to be filled with divine gentleness.—Northern Chris- tian Advocate. How Christ Makes Something of Us. An English preacher used the fol- lowing illustration: “Once there was a brier growing in the ditch, and there came along a gardener with his spade. As he dug round it and lifted it out, the brier said to itself: ‘What is he doing that for? Doesn't he know that I am only an old, worthless brier?’ But the gardener took it and planted it amid his flowers, while the brier said: ‘What a mistake he has made, planting an old brier like my- self among suchrosetrees as these!’ ” Carrying the Cross. In the mind of Jesus the cross is not a particular misfortune, but the measure of suffering implied in ev- ery act of love and self denial; this is the sense in which it is the very instrument of redemption; Jesus car- ried His cross, and those who follow Him must imitate Him, and in like manner carry a cross for the salva- tion of the world.—Auguste Saba- tier.

If the court requires any expert evi- dence on this point, a subpoena may be issued for Mr. S , of Cleveland. Says he: “I made a little visit recently to the town where 1 was born Every body there knows me, and they all call me ‘Charlie,’ and slap me on the back, and that sort ef thing. I got there in the evening, and the first thing next morning dropped around to Judge Pingtree’s office. He got up from- his desk and paralyzed my hand with his grasp; then without asking me to sit down, -he said: ‘I'm sorry, Charlie, but I've got a lot of mail to look over, and must attend to it; but Jim Doolittle is in the next room-—you remember Jim-—and you just walk out with him and see the improvements on the west side -of town.’ started out. “Jim was a good walker, and he took me to the farthest edge of town.

We met the: telegraph operator at ‘the office door, and found the Judge in- tently recding a dispatch. ‘Hello!’ he cried again. . ‘Well, here it once more—important telegram that needs immediate attention. But after that I will be free; and in the meantime you go up and see the im- provements on the north side. Here's Tom Dodgeloil—you remember Tom and he'll go with you. . You know, I'm interested in the north side. Sece you later!’ came cheerfully as I went off with Tort three miles, and saw the shabbiest part of town which had yet presented itself. I was beginning to be sus- picious, but the Judge had seemed s0 innocent, and the others had worked so hard to interest me, that I couldn't doubt their sincerity. “But I was genuinely tired when we got back to the office. This time the Judge met me with radiant face. ‘Well, I'm free at last,” he exclaimed. Visions of an easy- shal and a famil- iar chat came to me; but he went on: ‘Now you just come with me and see the improvements in our best part of town—the south side; you won't know it now.” He tcok my arm and we started out. On the threshold an excited man met us, seized the Judge by the lapel and led him into a re- mote corner of his office. After a moment the Judge approached me, his face the picture of woe. ‘This man’s liberty and perhaps his life de- pend on my giving him half an hour now. It's most unfortunate—but no matter,” he added, hurriedly, as he saw me advancing toward a chair; ‘here's Uncle Asa Pokeabout—you remember Uncle Asa—he’'ll just take you down and show you the south side as well as I could do it myself —or better.” Uncle Asa grasped my hand with a cackling laugh, and then hopped away along the sidewalk with his cane, calling on me to come. The Judge rushed back to his client. There was nothing to do but to fol- low the old inhabitant, though I was beginning to feel morally certain that the whole thing was a put-up job. I was more than ever convinced of it when I saw that the entire south side had tumbled into doddering decay. You might better have looked in Pompeii for improvements. Uncle Asa toddled resolutely onward, talking to me of incidents which hap- pened before I was born, course I remembered all about them, and I could only follow.

I was tired enough to drop when we got back to the office, and somewhat excited, too. That scoun- drel of a Judge met me with the blandest smile I ever saw. ‘I hope you enjoyéd seeing the advances that the old south side has made,’ he said.
