Slaves of Silver. “1 will never give another bit of silver as a wedding present,” an- nounced the bride of a few months. “Now that I am the possessor of con- siderable myself, I see what a slave it makes of its owner. You are afraid somebody will steal it, in the first place, and then the work and rubbing you put on it to keep it bright! After this I intend to give copper or brass, or this new lacquered material, which is the best of all, for it looks both odd and rich, and can be used and washed like china. Don’t burden a poor bride with a lot of silver dishes and trays to take care of.”—New York Press. hen iv Occupations of Women. The 4,000,000 women workers in the United States are engaged in no less than 292 distinct occupations. Though there are no, street car driv- ers reported, there are two motor- men; no sailors, but five women pilots. Ten are employed on steam railroads as baggage handlers, forty- five as engineers, thirty-one as brake- men, two as conductors, twenty-six as switchmen, yardmen and flagmen; forty-three as hack drivers, two as carpenters. Strange as it may seem, upward of 300,000 still indulge in the unfashionable trade of domestic ser- vice.—New York Sun. “a Red-Haired Charmers. “There are no red-haired old maids.” The speaker, a red-haired actress, lighted a fresh cigarette, and went on: “The red-haired have an excess of iron in their blood. This causes them to overflow with vitality, animal spir- its, gayety, wit, charm—but I must not boast, must I?” : She smiled, and, smotohing her ruddy locks with a slim white hand, she added: “A| any rate, it is a palpable fact that the red-haired girl never gets left. As a rule she is married at twenty. A red-haired old maid is a greater rarity than a millionaire an- archist. Leap year begins with 1908, but we red-haired girls have no need of leap year.”—New York Press. French Women and Dress. ‘Another fancy of the spirituelle French mondaine is.that of wearing the same house gown for each of her Parisian calling months, January, February and March, writes the Paris correspondent in Vogue. She selects something very elegant, very becom- ing, very personal, something that suits tne scheme of decoration of her reception room, that is neither too rich nor too modest to accompany her interior. She carefully arranges each accessory of shoes, jewels, coiffure, and then wears it day after day, its folds becoming more and more ac- customed to every movement of her figure, while she gives the impression of being a woman of taste and ele- gance, yet her sartorial reserve an- more in her head than the eternal question of chiffons. There is nothing more vulgar than the idea that one must not appear too often in the same gown. 1If-a gown is really beautiful, has some real charm of line and color and tex- ture, one does not tire of it any more than one does a flower. The trouble is we are too often led astray by the fashion and we choose something hastily that has nothing but novelty to recommend it. There is something lovely in every period of dress, if one has but the patience to search for it and the knowledge and taste to find it and adapt it to oneself. Once this is achieved, a gown may be worn with pleasure to oneself and to one’s friends, until it begins to become really shabby. And some women of taste prefer to be a bit nearer the shabby stage than the horribly vulgar “prand new.” This is easier in France, perhaps, because cleaners are both skillful and inexpensive, and the femme de chambre, even in a modest home, is clever in keeping clothes in order. I know several of the leaders of the smartest set who appear evening after evening at the subscription Mondays at the opera in the same satin sheath, or velvet Empire, or brocade Renais- sance gown, varying only the acces- sories. Of course, the trade will not approve this advice I give of thus limiting the wardrobe to fewer gowns, put I am not recommending economy. Let greater sums be spent on dress, but in the real sense of decoration, in lovely handwork of all kinds, in proidering with silks and ribbons and pe Si 1 ‘ wz pf et rr». a © 60 8 - od 5 ’ - £0 hb ; < : p( \ rg 0) A. steel, silver, 1n laces and furs and all fine textures.

We owe the latest cure for embon- point to the anthropologist, says an exchange. Watch the baby happily perambulating on all fours, innocent of dyspepsia and obesity. He is true to nature and Darwin, as any medical student could inform us. To be free from fleshy ills we must ape the baby and take regular exercise on our hands and feet.

The greatest dressmaker in the world, Worth, of Paris, is writing a series of articles for Harper’s Bazar —the first, by the way, he has ever contributed to any periodical. In the February Bazar he writes freely of the tastes of the royal women who are his customers. He says, among other things: “I may, perhaps, be permitted to digress a little here to speak of royal ladies’ taste in dress. Queen Alex- andra of England is a born artist in this respect, inheriting the talent from her late mother, the Queen of Denmark, who taught her children what was becoming from their ten- derest years in the Copenhagen nurs- ery. Queen Alexandra could—often does—trim her own hats and bonnets, and makes root-and-branch altera- tions in even the most recherche Paris millinery. Never does her Majesty permit the extravagance of fashion to invade her immense wardrobe. “She does not ask, ‘Will panne or stiff brocade be favored?’ or, ‘Will fur be admitted for evening wear?’ or, ‘Will tight sleeves last through another season?’ No. And not be- cause her Majesty is a law unto her- self. It is merely because she has ex- quisite taste and unerringly chooses modes that become her known beau- ty. The Queen gets charming ideas from museums and galleries, and used to design in the Tapestry Room at Marlborough House under the di- rection of the late Lord Leighton.” Plaid English twills have coin-sized shadow dots that are effective. The effect of maline over tulle is soft and very new, and different from either by itself. Two layers of sheer stuff of differ- ent weave constitute the chemisette of many handsome separate waists for evening. Full kimona sleeves edged with wide-ribbon-run beading are unusual- ly pretty on a circular nightgown whose neck is similarly finished. Dull, rather light blue, gray, violet and a vague green were all com- bined in the tulle trimming of ona exquisite gray hat from Alphonsine. Practically all the new corsets are provided with twelve-inch steels, which means that they are a great deal higher in the bust than formerly. The theatre waists made without collars originated in Paris, and they offer a splendid opportunity for the display of handsome jeweled collars. Large choux of tulle trimming broad-brimmed hats, usually of the lighter colors, combine even more tones than are scen in the velvet trimming. The new bordered materials which it is going to be possible to obtain in popular-priced fabrics this season mean that some pretty jumper suits will appear. Cutaway coats are to be worn again, many of them slashed so high that they not only show the belt buckle but quite a bit of the blouse above it.

THE PULPIT. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY REV. DR. H. P. LYMAN-WHEATON. Subject: Christ's Views on Marriage. Ridgefield, N. J.—In St. James’ Church here Sunday the rector, the Rev. Dr. H. P. Lyman-Wheaton, preached on ‘“Christ’s Views on Mar- riage and Social Subjects.” The text was from Mark 12:25: “For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage.” Among other things he said: There is one distinct doctrine which the manner of Christ's ministry has laid firmly down, that there is, in the descent of persons into sin, no depth so low that they may not be rescued from it, and that there scarce- ly ever is a case in which the image of God in a man is too much blotted and marred to be made bright again. Yet look how this, our Lord’s way, of dealing with sinners was misunder- stood. His compassion of them was spoken of as indicating a light esti- mate of the nature of sin. They mur- mured at Him because He had gone to be guest with a man who was a sin- ner and said, “This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them.” We may indeed safely say that not one of these who sat at table with Him would leave it without feeling that they ought to lead a better life, and with a quiet resolve to do so. They who had a bitter spirit against Him which would not see anything but evil in all He did, called Him a gluttonous man and a wine-bibber; yet they said of John the Baptist, who “came neither eating nor drinking,” that he had a devil. If these people had looked into their own hearts they would have found that it was neither the eating, drinking nor fasting that brought forth their hard words and names, but an accusing conscience stirred from its sleep. John the Bap- tist’s shrill cry, “Repent,” was truly in sea®on, yet his manner of life could not be taken as a pattern by those who had already formed social ties and habits. However much a man might be willing and wish {o live in’ the retirement of the wilderness upon wild food, he would hear the voice of wife and children crying be- hind him in a form which would plainly tell himi he must be religious and show his religion in another way. So here the example of our Lord’s sociability stepped in to teach that His true religion was not against fam- ily relationships and duties, but that it might be an element in them giving them warmth and adding to their joys. It was, no doubt, to give an im- pression of this kind that at the be- ginning of His public ministry He was present at a marriage ceremony. He regarded human nature in all its de- partments and showed His spiritual truth was applicable to all and a goodly leaven in the affections both of the mind and heart. No religion could widely prevail which did not recognize the social nature and in- stincts of man. Why should they not be recognized, since God had given them, and though it is in their irregu- larities and extravagance that we see chiefly traces of the great original fall of man, the office of religion is not to crush the life out of the root but to put new life into it. The great- est of all the sins proceeding out of social life had, by the Jewish law, placed upon it the penalty of death; yet it is evident our Lord thought there might be a better mode of deal- ing with it. To His periectly pure mind the sin of adultery must have appeared horrible, yet He sought to protect the woman whe was taken in it from stoning, placing at the same time a stigma upon her offense, “Go and sin no more.” ! We may see from our Lord’s words on the subject of divorce how sacred and lasting He held the ties of mar- riage to be. It was said, He thought, there should never have been need of such a proceeding as divorce, and it was the hardness of men’s hearts that forced upon men the promulga- It was entirely out of line of the providence of God, who, in the beginning, made them male and female, and joined them together, never to be put asunder. Even the existence of such a power as divorce takes away from the dignity of mar- riage, and so our Lord placed a mark upon her or him who availed herself or himself of it, “Whoso marrieth her that is put away committeth adul- tery.” When marriage was what it ought to be, and what it was intended tc be by the Creator, a union and perfect harmony of the highest affec- tions of our nature, it was the most sacred of all institutions upon earth. In little children, the fruits of such high and honorable affections, there was the likeness of the kingdom of God. “Suffer little children to come unto Me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” And that happy home of brotherly and sisterly love at Bethany was a picture of delight, which it soothed Him to look at, and which, afterward, when it appeared under a cloud, grieved Him to the quick. All these expressions of our Lord’s sympathy with the social feelings of human nature should be distinctly kept in view when we examine other words of His which seem on the sur- face to be in opposition to them. For example, such sayings as tkis: “He that hath forsaken wife or children for My name’s sake shall receive an hundred-fold and shall inherit ever- lasting life.”” For the kingdom of Heaven's sake, He said, some have never formed these ties of wife and children, and they shall receive in the rich harvest of. Heavenly peace and joy in their conscience an ample com- pensation. Truly we know our Lord would have said to one who aad al- ready formed the domestic ties of wife and children Show your love to Me by being a good husband and father. Blend your social and relig- ious feelings together, sc that the one will elevate the other. It was the exaggeration of social ties and duties beyond their proper limit which Christ spoke =o severely against. All the best ingredients of our social af- fections, as we go on in Christian life pass gradually out of our mortal into our immortal nature, and as the spirit passes out of the body it leaves be- THE QUALIFICATION, { hunted for.eleven weeks, ell, more or less) [ climbed o’er twen‘y-seven peaks, ell, more or less) Now listen to my thrilling tale, And do not dare to doubt or rail, [ killed just seven hundred quail— (Well, more or less!)

Well, in due course the Vizier brought his list of fools to the palace, and io! at the head of the list ap- peared the Sultan himself.

When beating carpets or rugs on the line the housewife is presented with a problem. Each time she strikes the rug with the beater the rug has a tendency to slip over grad- ually to one side. rug the greater the" liability to get out of balance. Frequently the rug falls off the line entirely-and has to be rebeaten. To overcome this nuis- ance and to prevent the rug slip- ping out of position after being once adjusted, a Massachusetts man has devised the holder shown here. It is made of strong spring wire, the upper portion being curved to fit over the rug. In connection with the four lower corners—which, on account of the tension of the spring wire, are inclined to come togeth- er—are prongs which forcg them- selves into the rug. The holder is stronger and more effectual than holding the carpet with one hand and beating with the other. The opera- tor has ample opportunity to stand at a distance from the rug and swing the beater with as great force as de- sired.—Washington Star.” Aluminum Paper. The manufactory of paper coated with aluminum as a substitute for tinfoil has begun to assume indus- trial importance. Within a year the Wickel process has been successfully applied in France to the metalizing with aluminum of paper of all thick- nesses, from that of cigarette paper up to that of the sheets from which postal cards are made. Aluminum paper has the advantage over tinfoil in that it contains no lead. It is suitable for enveloping all kinds of confectionery, for making paper boxes, and even for wall hangings. When used as wallpaper it possesses the admirable quality of being clean- able with a wet cloth or sponge.— Youth’s Companion. The heavier the. Deaf Telegraph Operator. Peter A. Foley, the “lightning taker” of Portland, is the most won- derful telegraph operator in the world. Foley is totally deaf, an affliction which ordinarily would be supposed to make telegraphy an utter impossibility to him, but since he be- came deaf eight years ago, Foley has developed what may be called a sixth sense and by touch and sight he cam detect the finest movement of the instrument and correctiy interpret them. His nervous system is a part and parcel of telegraphy and by means of the sense of touch in his finger tips he takes messages trans- mitted from the ends of the conti- nent. He can read a message by watching the sounder. With his left forefinger placed lightly on the sounder, he can by his wonderful sense of touch take a message as ac- curately as any man in the office.— Kennebec Journal. —————————————— A Potato That Took Shape From & Bedspring.
