4 Study of the Painters.
*’ parision women are studying Greuze.
"That painter had a way with hair rib-
bons which had an effect of most de-
lightful carelessness, though rec Ny it
was not careless at all. The womei
of Paris are imitating his headdresses
with such success that it is not at all
uncommon to see at the opera a head
which brings to mind the work of the
eighteenth century painter of pictur-
esque portraiture.
One favorite headdress for
girls is’ composed : of silver
which is twisted in and out among
the curls at the top of the ‘head, with
a few blush roses fastened behind
the left ear. Twists of black velvet
ribbons are used a great deal, espe-
cially by fair haired women. Coquet-
tish little wreaths of roses or violets
are much affected. These are worn
perched on the side of the head. In
fact, it is the day of the pieture coif-
fure, and it is to be seen in infinite
variations.— Tribune.

Pretty Girl in Business.
“Every now and then,” said a New
York business woman of many years’
experience, “one hears tales of the
trials and tribulations which beset the
pretty girl in business, especially in
large cities like New York. On=2 hears
of her fruitless efforts to obtain desira-
ble employment, or at least to keep
a place for any length of tim2, because
of the jealousies of other women, and
one hears constantly of the offensive
manner of employers toward an ex-
tremely attractive employe.
“This state of things seemed to me
so lamentable, if true, that I recent-
ly devoted an afternoon to making a
tour of the different establishments
in New York making business of secur-
ing employment for women. The re-
sult was that I could find no one who
considered beauty in any other light
than a valuabl:» asset to the self-sup-
porting woman, provided it was accom-
panied by proper self-respect and com-
mon Sense.
“‘How do I propose to solve the
problem of the pretty girl business?’
repeated the manager of one estab-
lishment, as he looked up at me in sur-
prise. ‘Why, I don’t see that there's
any such problem, at least not any

be acquired, or more accurately yet,

Read Paul's prayer written to the
men in Thessalonica: “The very God
of peace sanctify you wholly (set you
apart, distinguish you in every great
way), and 1 pray God your whole
body, soul and spirit be kept without
blemish even in the presence of
Christ. aithful is he who hath
promised, who also will do it.”” Just
to this point was Emerson speaking
when he said: “Follow God, and
where you go men shall think they
walk in hallowed cathedrals.” Phil-
lips Brooks puts it: “The influence of
a man whose heart God hath touched
is like a breeze of fresh air let into

this experience which has made men
and women great in the past. It was

will be the secret of the power of
anyone who lives to-day. Each day's

Whosoever will go to heaven must

every one wore his own sword; and

Nadab and Abihu furaish the
groundwork for the temperance les-
son of the day. Evidently they were
drunk when they went to perform
their usual duties before the altar.
At least it would so appear since
immediately following the recital of
their foolish actions and grievous dis-
obedience to the commands of God
we have the record that the Lord
specifically commanded Aaron and
his other sons that they should re-
frain from following after strong
drink.
What God expected of Aaron as a
priest He expects of every one of us
as His children, especially of those
of us who are sealed to Him in the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ. For, as the

man can accurately predict. what the
alcoholic drinks of to-day will do

as bad as can be procure d..’fne aver-
age man to-day when he does buy
wine, or beer, or liquors of any sort
cannot even be certain that he is
purchasing what he wants. Much ot
the alcoholic drinks that are served
to the public to-day is poison. flaunt-
ing itself under the black flag of sub-
terfuge.
But whether they be pure or pois-
onous alcoholic beverages had best
be left alone. No man can afford to
fool with them. We see daily in-
stances of the folly of even strong,
intelligent, moral men tampering
with liquor. It is as sensible to tam-
per with liquor as it is to tease a rat-
tlesnake. Statistics will never record
the number of the bright, indus-
trious, brainy, useful men who tam-
pered with liquor and met defeat.
God alone knows the awful list of
those who have .gone down into the
drunkard’s grave because they felt
competent to curb and control about
as fierce a monster as ever mastered
man. Alcohol as a beverage is a
fraud. It is even questionable
whether it is useful as a medicine.
For its chief medicinal value is as a
preservative and solvent. Its nutri-
tive value.is so negligible as to be
easily dispensed with, and as easily
replaced. As a stimulant it i1s:-3a
sham. For its retroactive properties
are too thoroughly pronounced.
There is nothing whatever to ba
gained by the use of alcohol as a
beverage. First of all it is an un-
natural acquirement. Water is the
natural beverage. Water slakes and
satisfies the thirst. Alcohol in-
tensifies and excites the thirst. It
creates an abnormal desire. It is un-
satisfying. Secondly, alcohol is ex-
pensive. None of us though he hava
the riches of Rockefeller is rich
enough to spend a dollar on alcohol-
ic drinks. And the poorer we are the
more we need the money for valid
necessities. The man who has money
to spend on drinks: had better spend
the money on his family, charity, or
himself. For practically all tha
money spent on liquor is an economs
ic loss. Alcohol as a beverage ia
the money of the drinker without af-
fording society commensurate re-
turn. In the measure that its returr
is incommensurate it is an economic
