Embarrassing in : Society.
The most embarrassing thing in so-
ciety is the finger bowl. Every one
is embarrassed who attempts to use
one. The women come nearer to us-
ing them gracefully than the men, but
even the women’ do not entirely suc-
ceed, although they assume a careless
manner in washing their fingers, indi-
cating that at home they use finger
bowls every few minutes. There is
a certain awkwardness about finger
bowls which no one can deny. Many
a. man has refused to attend a party
through fear of finger bowls. The
next time you are out, notice if all
the guests do not look at the particu-
lar person who is using ‘a finger bowl,
as if they would say: “We have them
at our house, but he doesn’t have them
at his house.” A good many people
dislike society, and it is believed that
they are afraid of company, but the
truth is: It’s finger bowls.—Atchison

What! Women Shun Notice?
The Anti-Publication Society is busy
in Washington these days, and one by
one the old-time lovers of publicity
the falling into line. Mrs. Herbert
Parsons is head and front of the
movement in the capital, and she bas-
es her objections to appearing in print
on the strictures against her book.
‘Mrs. George P. Wetmore has long
objected to public notice, and now
come Mrs. William Boardman and
her daughter, Mrs. Murray Crane, Mrs.
Herbert ‘Wadsworth, Mrs. Dewey,
even Mrs. Chauncey Depew. It ap-
pears that if Washington were to
have something like the Court Jour-
mal of London and other capitals
abroad, it would be all well enough to
give details about teas, dinners and
general assemblages. Put the liberty
of the press is what these women re-
sent, and the comments made about
the absence of such guests and the
presence of others. Mrs. Parsons was
annoyed because the lists of guests at
Jittle Sunday night gatherings in her
home were given the public. Well
she might be, for there were surpris-
ing combinations even for these days
when strange things are made imper-
ative by the political condition. Now
about twenty of the prominent official
and resident hostesses are pledged to
keep their names -and the names of
their friends out of print.—New York

Kansas Women in Office.
The appointment of Mrs. Levi Coop-
er as Probate Judge of Mitchell coun-
ty by Gov. Hoch and the discussions
that resulted from this appointment
have developed the fact that nearly
every kind of office in the state ex-
cept state offices has one or more
woman occupant.
Mrs. Cooper is the only woman in
the state who is serving as Probate
Judge. However, there is one woman
County Attorney in Kansas. Miss
Oala Heimline is serving her third
term as County Attorney of Seward
county. kb
Western Kansas has had several
women County Attorneys, but the cus-
tom never appears to have become
popular in the eastern part of the
state. In Norton county Kate John-
son has just completed a term as
County Treasurer. There are half a
dozen or more County Registers of
-Deeds in the state, and probably thir-
ty women County Superintendents of
Schools.
So far as is known there are no
women in Kansas serving as clerks of
the district courts or County Com-
missioner. However, several have
served as Mayors of cities. In sev-
eral instances there have been women
candidates for State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, but they were
not elected.
The Socialists at their recent con-
vention in Topeka nominated a Gir-
ard woman for State Superintendent
in spite of a strong speech made
against it by her husband.—Kansas

" ‘Advice on Art.
«What we should look for in art is
those abstract qualities which appeal
to the spiritual part of our nature by
the lifting up of the senses. ‘The sub-
ject of the picture counts for nothing.
The modern impressionist seeks not
to’ paint what he sees, but what -he
knows to be there. The sign manual
of modern painting is the effect of
light on form, color, and texture,”
said Charles H. Caffin, in his talk on
“How to Study Pictures” before the
Art Students’ League at Pittsburg, Pa.
“The characteristic of this age,” he
continued, “is intimate individualism
in all forms of art, in music and liter-
ature as well as in painting, and it is
a mistake to attempt to revive the al-
legorical pa >s of medieval times.
I admire immensely the mural paint-
n W. Alexander in the Car-
the mailed figure which represents the
city, and I find that many Pittsburgers
resent the anachronism.”
Mr. Caffin made the statement that
art is no longer the handmaid of re-
ligion; that it is no longer needed as
such, though its appeal is as high as
that of religion.
“The appeal of Ruben¥ ‘Descent
from the Cross’ is not in the subject,”
said he,” “but altogether in the con-
trast of light and shade. Many other
artists have painted the same subject
and have made no impression. The
intense harmony of color is the secret
of the beauty of the prize picture,
‘The Necklace, in the Carnegie art
galleries.” i
The influence of Japanese art,
which seeks to express the pervading
of nature by the spiritual, was dwelt
on by the lecturer, who spoke of its
influence on the work of Whistler.
The paintings of George Inness were
cited as examples of wcrx showing
the same spiritual quality, which the
speaker thought migkt be partly at-
tributed to the Swedenborgian belief
of the painter. This spiritual imag-
ination essential to all great paint-
ings was likened to the odor ex-
tracted from the violet.
Rest—A Wonderful Beautifier.
The modern woman is wise. She
knows that all the cosmetics, all the
massage, all the beauty baths and
physical culture in the world cannot
do for fagged cheeks, hollow eyes,
and fatigued, blanched face what rest:
will accomplish. She does not go to
a rest cure, because there is some-
thing suggestive of invalidism in such
a course and the very.thought makes.
one a trifle blue; she takes the rest
cure as she goes along. She rests
when she reads, when she sews, when
she makes her toilet; indeed, she has
intermittent attacks of resting at any
and all times.
A whole train of evils follow in the
wake of fatigue. When a woman is
tired she usually worries, and no men-
tal attitude is more disastrous to per-
sonal appearance, personal happiness
and personal achievement than worry
and its twin brother—despondency.
It is true that one may fret for many
months without visible effects, but it
is only a question of time when the
dominating idea, the cause of the
worry, which is often -fatigue, will
master first the will, then brain, and
finally the body. Ponder upon this,
ye maids and matrons, and if an ap-
peal to your complexion and its pres-
ervation in a state of pristine fresh-
ness does not move you, think of the
ignominy of being voted a person of
limited power as one certainly is who
feazes over the minor grievances of
life. Besides the brain, heart, and
muscle which share the benefits of
the rest cure, there is. the tongue,
which also requires relaxation. “Give
thy tongue rest occasionall” is whole-
some advice.
Fatigue is one of the greatest ene-
mies of the human race, because it is
the origin of one-half, perhaps more,
of the hundred catalogued diseases
that prey upon women and men. In-
digestion is sure to follow a meal tak-
en when one is over-fatigued. Five
minutes of complete rest of body and
mind @re none too much for the per-
son of average health, taken if possi-
ble, just before the midday meal. Do
not eat when tired nor work when
weary. It is a mistake to labor in un-
fit condition; it is an error to rise at
daybreak and imagine that every hour
taken from sleep is an hour gained.
1t is foolish to give unnecessary time
to an established routine of house-
' keeping when. it would be much more
profitable spent in rest and recrea-
tion. Hearty laughter is a relaxation,
so are elevated thoughts, those of
hope, beauty, trust and love.—New
York Sun.
Fashion Notes.
There is an increase in the use of
white crepe by those in deep mourn-
ing. :
Sleeves are growing moreand more
bouffant on all frocks of sheer mate-
rials.
For evening there is no end to the
filmy, glittering ornaments provided
for the coiffure.
For the old time chigox there is the
long ostrich feathers that sweep down
to the shoulder.
Cream flannel with belt and tie of
pale blue or bright red makes a good
combination with. a dark blue skirt
and-coat suit.
A white rose with a few pendant
buds somehow look just as dainty
tucked among the fluffy rolls and puffs
of blond hair.
When ribbon embroidery comes to
be used for the embellishment of fur
coats, we must conclude that it is
immensely popular.
Jackets show a man-tailored finish.
Oriental embroideries—Oriental in
both coloring and design, are very
much the vogue for trimming gowns.
A bird of paradise with its delicate:
ly waving feathers will coil around

.AN ELOQUEN# SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE PULPIT.
DR. ROBERT J. KENT.
Theme: All Fullness in Christ.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—In the Lewis Ave-
nue Congregational Church, Sunday
morning, the pastor, the Rev. Dr.
Robert J. Kent, preached on “All
Fullness in Christ.” The text was
from Colossians 1:19: “For it pleased
the Father that in Him should all
fullness dwell.” Dr. Kent said:
Jesus Christ is being better under-
stood and better appreciated all the
time. Paul had a truer and more
glorious conception of Him thirty-five
disciples who had lived in intimate
fellowship with Him during His min-
istry. Under the tuition of:the Spirit
the beauty and grandeur of, His char-
acter, the magnitude and igestimable
value of His service to God and hu-
manity grew upon men. The language
of eulogy is taxed to its uttermost in
describing the glory of His person
and position. In the four verses im-
mediately preceding the the text
three statements of sublime signifi-
cance are made. He is the image of
the invisible God! The universe. was
created by Him and for Him! He is
the head of the church! Therefore
in all things He has pre-eminence.
That pre-eminence = has not been
changed as the centuries have passed.
While doctrines and theologies have
held and lost the attention of men,
their interest has been increasingly
centred on the person of Jesus. Chris-
tian experience is verifying the state-
ment of the text that all fullness
dwells in Jesus Christ. The word
“fullness” by itself is an empty word;
the “fullness of God” is glorious, but
misty. It is when we take up one by
one the qualities with which Christ
was so richly endowed by the Father
that we begin to appreciate the megn-
ing of the text. Sa
In Him is the fullness of power.
It was the power of Christ that at
first gained the eager aftention of
men. We may. not fully understand
the mighty deeds He performed; in
the confusion of thought at the pres-
ent time regarding the miracles \of
the Gospels we may feel utterly per-
plexed. But that a deep and abiding
impression of power was made by the
Master on the people of His day there
cannot be the slightest doubt. That
impression was voiced by the two sad-
hearted disciples who journeyed to
Emmaus and when the unrecognized
Jesus asked them what things had
come to pass that so deeply moved
them replied: “Concerning Jesus of
Nazareth, which was a prophet
mighty in deed and word before God
and all the people.” The story that
Mark has written aims to present
Christ as the mighty worker; and
John tells us that his purpose in writ-
ing was toe picture Christ as the Son
of God.
The early Christian church was
conscious of the possession of power,
‘of power which it derived from its in-
visible but ever-present Lord. It saw
it working in the regeneration of
men’s hearts, in the reformation of
their. lives, in the transformation of
communities. Christianity was not
merely a new philosophy, 2 new form
of worship; it was the power of God
unto salvation to every one who ac-
cepted it. That power has not waned
during the centuries. Christ'has been
the conqueror. He has been the most
magnetic personality in the world’s
history. Men of all classes and con-
ditions, the rich and poor, the prince
and peasant, the learned and illiter-
ate, the saint and sinner, have been
drawn to Him. They have conse-
crated heart and life to Him. In spite
of the most determined and malig-
nant opposition, the gospel of His
kingdom has been preached through-
out the world. Nothing could stop it.
He has erected His judgment seat
among men, and more and more the
words, thoughts, deeds, the lives and
cnaracters of men and nations are
being brought to judgment! before
Christ. There was a time when men
supposed that by violence they could
stamp out Christianity; Herod tried
it and failed; the Jewish rulers tried
it when they crucified Jesus and
failed; Saul of Tarsus tried it and
failed. Who would dream that it
could be done to-day? Surely the
vears have demonstrated that the
fullness of power resides in Jesus.
There is in Christ the fullness of
wisdom. We do not class Christ
among the learned men of the world.r
He was not a writer of many books.
Ee wrote nothing. We do not in-
clude Him among the great philoso-
phers of the ages. There is a philoso-
phy of Christianity, but Christianity
is not a philosophy. We do not find
a wonderful versatility of knowledge
in the discourses of Jesus. He did
not talk of many things, yet the men
of the early days, and the thoughtful
men of subsequent generations, have
been profoundly impressed with His
wisdom. He knew the things of
greatest concern to men; He knew
them with a clear, searching intui-
tion. He knew God, His character,
His purpose, His plans. The Father
had revealed Himself to Hig Son. He
knew man, his joys and sorrows, his
aspirations and temptations, his sin-
fulness and his glorious possibilities.
He knew the secrets of peace, of joy.
He knew the things that give deepest
and most enduring satisfaction; the
bread of life, and the water of life.
Jesus is the world’s teacher. One
of His most precious titles is Master.
Not only in the truth He taught, but
less. By precept and parable and ex-
ample He had taught the principles
that lie at the foundation of human-
ity’s progress. Men who want to
know what is best for themselves
and for the world still sit reverently
‘at Jesus’ feet. In the discussion of
the vital problems of the present age,
men ask, What did Jesus say? For
He dealt with. the things that most
concern the heart and life, and, there-
fore, He dealt’ with the questions of
perennial interest.
The fullness of love is in Jesus.
Love divine is a tree that has many
branches. One is compassion, an-
other pity, another patience, another
pardon, another sacrifice. The in-
finite pity and comj on of God
looked out through the eyes of Jesus
upon deformed and unfortunate men.
is to call forth what is best in‘ the
years after the, crucifixion than. the |’
| soul-struggle;in the wilderness to the
| stead of forgetting Him, men became
more interested in Him. The eyes of
in the way He taught it, He was peer-/
@garkened home, the saddened heart, ;
and His ‘tears of tender sympathy
flowed. A wise and wise-hearted man
who is constantly dealing with youth-
ful culprits has said that his own aim
boys; to awaken a. sense of honor,
manliness, a noble ambition in them.
This is what Jesus did. Lave divine
in Him reached down to sinful, bro-
ken men in order to:lift:them-up and
heal them. He awakened -hope and
resolute endeavor. He made men
feel that they could be pardoned and
begin a new life. He took. them: by
the hand, as He did the girl who the
neighbors said was dead, but Jesus
declared was asleep, .and said,
“Arise.” And this fullness of.love
found its crowning proof and glory in
the cross; so that, when you speak of
great love, you naturally, point to
Calvary. ; J
Now all these afid ‘many other qual-
ittes- were united -in Christ. Other
.men:have been great because of some
one rare quality of personality; Jesus
possessed" them all. Therefore, He
has never ceased to interest the world.
From the day He returned after-the
banks of Jordan until He died on Cal-
vary, He lived without seeking it in
the public eye. -After His death, in-
the world have never ceased to look
upon Him. Theologies have come
and gone; the church has had its ups
and downs; but Jesus is always. the
centre of interest. There stand on
my library shelf two large volumes
fresh from the press. They are a
dictionary of Jesus, what He said and
did. And they happen to stand along-
side of a volume on “Jesus Christ and
the Social Question.” It suggests the
unfailing interest of thoughtful men
in Jesus. They are never satisfied
with what has been said and written
regarding Him. There will be other
dictionaries, other lives of Christ, in
the coming years. And when great
social problems are discussed, the
question of the home, of work and
wages, of capital and labor, of human
brotherhood, men will turn as they
do now to the Gospels to study afresh
what Jesus said. Let there be dis-
covered the merest fragment of some
ancient manuscript’ containing in mu-
tilated form some saying of Jesus and
the .news of the discovery is tele-
graphed‘ around the ‘world," and the
fragment becomes priceless. How are
we to explain this undying interest
in Jesus? Not in any of the outward
circumstances or conditions. of His
life. How limited and meager it was!
A life of poverty; a brief life; begin-
ning in a manger, ending on a cross.
A life outside the circles of’ libraries
and great thinkers, outside the eircles
of wealth and social position. The
secret of its unique command upon
the interest of men is given in the
text: “It pleased the Father that in
Him should all fullness dwell.”
The hope of the world is in Him.
To Him we bring our burdens and
perplexities. To Him we come for
comfort and strength. To be in vital
| relation to Him is our highest privi-
lege. Having Him as our personal
Lord and Master we have life’s high-
est prize. He is God's richest gift to
the world. He is the clearest inter-
pretation to humanity of the infinite
wealth of love and wisdom and power
of God. The divine heart beats in the
bosom of Jesus; the divine voice
speaks through His lips; the divine
help is given through His service; the
divine life is imparted through fel-
lowship with Him.
The leadership of the world be-
longs to Jesus. The fullness of God
dwells in Him to accomplish the eter-
nal purpose of God; the establishment
of the kingdom of love in human
hearts. He has been equipped for the
service of leadership. To Him has
been given fullness of vision that He
may see the way; fullness of power
that He may overcome every obstacle;
fullness of love that He may win men
and make them follow Him. He who
died on the cross will occupy the
throne; the despised and rejected of
men will receive universal praise and
love. To hasten the day when all
shall know Him, when the eternal
purpose of redeeming love shall be
fulfilled in the kingdom of Christ is
our supreme duty. To that work
we should consecrate our lives. It
should kindle our enthusiasm. Jesus
should be supreme in our thought
and speech, our affection and devo-
tion. May He be our leader! May
we gladly, enthusiastically follow
Him! .
“The Men Did the Work Faithfully.”
You cannot set the world right, or
the times, but you can do something
for the truth, and all you can do will
certainly tell if the work you do is
for tne Master, who gives you your
share. And so the burden of respon-
sibility is lifted.
This assurance makes peace, satis-
faction and repose possible, even in
the partial work done upon earth. Go
to the man who is carving a stone for
a building. Ask him where that
stone is going, to what part of the
temple, and how he is going to get it
into place, and what does he do? He
points you to the builder's plans.
This is only one stone of many. So,
when men shall ask where aad how
your little achievement is going into
God’s plan, point them to your Mas-
ter, who keeps the plans, and then go
on doing your little service as faith-
fully as if the whole temple were
yours to build.—Phillips Brooks.
; God Watches Us Lovingly.
|. . The thought of God's eye upon us
is usually looked upon as a thought
to strain and bridle us in the hour of
temptation and carelessness; and so
it is. But with our selfish love of
forbidden things we miss what is
meant not merely to restrain us, but
to be the greatest.and most unfailing
of our comforts. The thought that
God sees us always is His great en-
couragement and help to His children
in doing right. His eye is not the eye
of a judge and ruler only, but of a
shepherd and father, the lover of the
souls of men, th poor souls of ours
and of our brett not sparing even
His own Son for them. We are kb :
watched by an ey nderness an
sympathy deepe h
that of any man on

Life-Preserving Chair.
One of the principal causes of great
loss of life in accidents or disasters
occurring on the water by reason of
the collisions of vessels or from simi-
lar circumstances results from the
faith, mystically beautifully in form,
and gray as some pale exhalation

Very fine, all must admit. But
wouldn’t that paragraph have been
meat and drink to the man who used
to mark up Mr. Howells’ newspaper
copy back in Bucyrus, Ohio! If How-
ells the reporter had written that for
the Bucyrus Blade he would have
found it in the paper the next day
about like this:
“The cathedral, with flowers all
around it, looks fine. It is four hun-
dred years old and needs paint.”’—

A New York inventor thinks it
fact that the life-preservers provided
for the use of the passengers are us-
ually placed in some inaccessible po-
sition where they cannot be obtained
quickly by the excited persons. This
is especially true on the usually
crowded excursion steamers that ply
between coast resorts. Instances are
known where many, lives would have
undoubtedly been saved if each pas-
senger had had at hand a life-preserv-
er at the time of the accident. It is
manifestly inconvenient for each pas-
senger to carry a life-preserver. Real-
izing the above conditions, a New
York man has designed and patented
a combined steamer chair and life-
preservery shown here. The steamer
chair is in all practical respects simi-
lar to the ordinary camp stool, but it
is constructed to serve as a life-pre-
server as well. The party using the
chair will have always at hand a
buoyant support in the event that it
is necessary to thrust himself in the
water. The chair is light and can be
folded and readily carried from place
to place, while as a life-preserver it
is always at hand for use whenever
the emergency requires.—Washing-

The Atheneum says of the follow-
ing Howells paragraph that it is the
best English sentence, perhaps, in
any recent English book. Describing
a certain ancient edifice Mr. Howells
writes and the Atheneum quotes:

blossoming, was the great Cathedral

would be advisable for every man to
carry a coat and hat hook in his

never worry whether or not he will
find all the available hooks in the res-
taurant: occupied when he goes to

and hat hook is shown in the accom-
panying illustration. When not in
use it can be quickly folded up and
carried in the pocket, without incon-
venience to the owner. When emer-
gency demands it can be as readily
brought into commission and attached
to the molding or wall or any other
convenient object close to the owner.
In addition, being a private hook,
the owner is saved the nuisance of
having half a dozen other patrons of
the establishment piling their hats
and coats on top of his.—Washington
