It is a Question of Decency.

Not long since we expressed to q
very dear young friend our delight
that on her first appearance at q
ball, she declined to participate
in the round dance. We commended
her courage in refusing, and sought
to persuade her to persist in 1T, by
intimating to her what we know to
be the sentiment and language of
the gentlemen (?) partners in regard
to the young women who allow
them the immoral famiiariUies
which such dances permit and ne
cessitate. AS our young friend is
not a follower of Jesus Christ, we
appealed to her selfrespect as a pure
girl. We begged her to consider
the matter, not merely from the
standpoint of religion, but as ques
ton of common decency, and to
protect her person from lustful
handling and her good name from
the smirching OF foul tongues.
The Central Presbyterian has the
following point.
The argument against the dancing
now practiced by our young people
rests on a question of decency. We
need not call a jury of Christians to
sit on the case; we only need a jury
of old fashioned Virginians who
may play cards, run horses, drink
their grog, and do many other
things in disregard of the precepts
of the Christian religion. We are
perfectly willing to rest the case
without argument in their hands,
whether they think it consistent
with female modesty for young
woman to pass through the scenes
of a modern ballroom
The mere act of dancing is moth
ing; there may be little or no harm
in the old-fashioned cotillon in a
private house with reasonable
hours; what the standard of the
Presbyterian church condemns is
lascivious dancing. We mean no
sort of reflection on the young la
dies who engage in our modern
dances; many of them do it in in
nocence and in mere thoughtless
ness, and swept along by the de-
mands of society: but we do insist
that the thing itself comes within
the precise idea aimed at by the
standards of the Westminster as
sembly. How can we be contra
dicted2 And is this a thing for
Christian woman to do? Would a
Christian girl, who has really given
herself to her Savior, defend the
practice of "1ascivIOus dancingY
1t becomes, then, a mere question
of facts. Does the act OF a hand
some woman's throwing herself into
the arms of young man come
within the idea of "lasciVIous?"
The truth is the modern dance
has revolutioniZed the relations of
the sexes in this country 1t has
into our drawing-rooms
indecorums of the Md6ille and the
Chateau Rouge. 1t has changed
the attitude Of our young men to-
wards the gentle sex. They do
not regard them with the same re
spect, with the same knightly devo-
ton; they are regarded more as
'fellows" who do not live in that
atmosphere of sublimated guileless-
ness that they formerly occupied,
There is familiarity practiced by
the young men toward the young
women which is simply shocking,
and it is largely the fruit of the
dance. Woman has experienced
the change which came over France
at the close of the last century,
when all reverence was lost for
everything.

Short cakes for dessert-Make a
crust as for biscuit; roll out a half
inca thick; cut in rounds or
squares. After placing one layer of
these on the tin, place another layer
of the same size over them; put in
the oven and bake. When done
these layers are easily separated,
and any kind of stewed, canned or
preserved fruit may be placed be-
tween them, and they are very con-
veDient when one has not time to
prepare pie. OF course any kind of
fresh fruit is preferable to canned
or preserved. 4 'cnp-cake" baked
in jelly tins, with fruit placed be-
tween the layers, makes very rich
and easily prepared dessert. Serve
cream and powdered sugar with it.

This is the baby's bedtime,
Dimple- chin climbs on my knee,
With, Muzzer. rs dest as Sleepy
An tired as / tan be-"
So take up the dear little darling,
Ard undress the weary feet
That have been making since the daylight
A music busy and sweet
'Tell me pity tory"
She pleads in sleepy way;
And | ask, as l cuddle and kiss her,
What shall tell you, preyH
"Tell me''-and then she pauses
To rub each sleepy eye,
CHOW re big pig goes to artet,
can re ittle pigs all cry"
Then tell, as smooth the tangles
Ever at war with the comb,
How the big pig went to market,
And the wee ones staid at home.
And count the pigs tell of
On her rosy toes once more,
And she laughs at the "pity tory"
As if never heard before.
Then fold her hands together
Upon her breast, and she,
In her lispiDg, sleepy fashion,
Repeats her prayer with me.
Before it is ended the blossoms
OF her eyes in slumber close,
But the words that are left unuttered
He who loves the children knows.
Then lay the bright head on its pillow
With lingering good might kiss,
Thin king how much God loved me
To give me child like this.
And pay as turn from the bedside,
He will help me guide Alright
The feet of the dear little darling
leave in His care tonight.

to it at the time. Several days af-

ankle panied her very much, and
on examination it was found that
the needle was the cause OF IL. In
her efforts to get it out it broke

one part (the eye half of it out.
The point part remained and two
days after she felt that Just below

and she felt something in her
throat, but the obstruction was
supposed TO be a fish bone. After
several efforts to remove it she at
last succeeded, and it proved to be
