little influence upon the stocks OF

Grace's list
weeks prizes.

We are glad to see our manuscript-box so we'll
filed with good puzzle material to select from,
from week to week. This indicates that orr
friends are keeping themselves interested in our
work, and that they intend to make the depart
ment A l as regards contributions We can
now boast of having as many readers, if not
as many contributors, as any puzzle department
extapt. There are very many persons who read
the puzzle column every week, but do not make
themselves known. So our contributors must
not think that the persons whose names appear
under Puzzles Answered" are the only ones
who solve their puzzles and criticise them Far
from it. If all who solve one more of the puz-
Zler each week should send in their solutions the
Journal wonld have to let us have another col
umu in which to credit their lists So keenino
in mind the great number of eyes that puzzle
falls under-eyes of those Who perhaps solve or
like to solve only the easy puzzles our contribu-
tors can see how important it is to
make their work moderately difficult of
solution, and at the same time perfect in con-
struetion. But our INDUCTION does not apply to
all our correspondents. On the contrary, the
majority of our friends compose tolerably
easy puzzles. and all the words are defined in ac
cordance with the best uthority-Webster AS
we have said before we shall not reject puzzle
on account of its intricacy, nor on &C
count of its inaccuracy, but in respect to
our numerous readers, we desire to receive and
publish less difficult puzzles, and also desire that
the puzzles be written plainly, and every word
properly defined from the dictionary. But we
do not wish our words to debar any one old or
young from visiting this department We have
always given space to the contributions Of the
novice as quickly as the contributions of the ex-
pert and we shall still adhere to this rule in the
future.

A FEW FASHIONS.

Fichus of lace in various shapes are much
worn.
Surah quilted lining wears better than the
satin lining
Wooden lace is a favorite trimming for dresses
and bonnets
Since the introduction of plain skirts trimmed
ones are more elaborate than ever.
Chantily lace is the fashionable lace this season,
to the exclusion of the black Spanish
AS a rule, bodices of light material are plated
and those Of thick silk or velvet fabrics are made
plain
A plain white fur rug makes as pretty COW
ering in winter for an infants carriage as can be
found.
Very large silk handkerchiefs are used as
aprons; they are gathered and set in belt Of
ribbon.
Velvet muffs are trimmed with bands of fur
on the edges and have a full cluster of velvet
loops and ends near the top
A lemon colored sicilienne dress has the front
of green-bronze plush. The frontis embroid-
cred with leaves of iridescent and steel beads
and velvet, stemless yellow briar-roses sewed
fiat to the plush.
One of the evening dresses in recent bril-
dial trousseau is of white tulle with side panel
of white satin with gold brocade, over which
the tule is looped with white marabout feathers
with gold tips On the opposite side of the
dress is a long garland of marguertes with black
eenters mixed with gold foliage.
A handsome Partisan reception dress is made
of heavy black Antwerp silk. The short skirt
has a knife-pla tied flounce, eighteen inches
wide, above which is deep fiounce of rich lace
The overskirt has wide plaits and falls in point
a little to the right of the front The front and
back drapery are caught at the left side by
handsome jet ornament and on the right side
are held in position by handsome. panel Of jet
embroidery The short basque is pointed in
front, and has full box plaits at the back. A.
lace vest puffed and caught on either side at
throat and waist by jet ornaments completes
this recherche dress. An authority says that
in Paris this winter reception dresses are to be
short

Hints rs to Praver-Meeting.

Report If Moody Conference.
How to take the stiffness out of our prayer
meetings was the first question taken up by Mr.
Moody He said the man who is not a good
minister will not have a good prayer-meeting
the first thing to do is to have good ventilation.
Some PRAYER rooms have not been ventilated for
years. Have the room clean and have it well
lighted as to let people read. Get the people
close together If necessary lave a table on
rollers, and roll it out among the people. Much
depends on the way you open the meeting. In
stead of coming in sthly and formally,
and dropping down behind high pulpit go
among tie people. Some ministers follow the
same formal routine year after year, and even
the children know Just what the minister will 90
next. They know the same prayer be has made
year after year Get those present TO relate
their experience, and if you have letters from
parents about their children read them. If
your people do not come to the prayer meeting
go to their homes and ask why they did not at
tend. After you have called on them hall dozen
selves and will come to the meeting. To prevent
a long prayer and tell him he prayed too much.
pray the least at home. No man can hold his
mind to prayer for fifteen minutes. The longest
prayer should not be over four minutes Five
minute prayers are too long Phe shortest pray
ers were the most effective. Peter cried, Lord,
help met when his feet were under water The
prayer of the thief on the cross and the prayer
of Paul were short One young pastor was very
successful in announcing that he would stop the
prayer meeting and have praise meeting
These can be alternated with promise meet
