to be among the good things. Paris
will send over to us in the spring.

Round or pointed velvet bodices,
when worn with tulle skirts, have thei,
tops turned over in reverse and the necks
filled in with tulle. that is also tucked
or pleated down the middle Of the front.
Sleeveless jackets, with short. open
fronts of embroidered velvet, or the
richest Persian passementere, are worn
for half dress over thin blouses that
come high in the neck and have long
gathered sleeves.
Long gloves for evening do not
wrinkle quite SO much upon the arms as
they have done for several seasons past.
In color, black, pearl gray and tar age
still used, but the various shades and

How to Stay YouEg,.

"How 10 get strong and how TO stay
sou was the title OF little book that a
few years ago was very popular with
people interested in physical culture,
i3,lt book which should tell us how SO
stay young would be still more popular.
Saying nothing about the tabled s'Foun~
tain of Y outb," which Ponce de Leon
searched for, there lis no question that
much may be done to stay young. The
observance Of sound and sensible
tygienic rules, the use OF suitable and
wholesome food. and keeping regular
hours, will do much to preserve youth.
One of the greatest helps is to avoid
worry. When you travel. the best way
to avoid all worry is to take the Bur
lington." It's smooth tracks. its iuxur
ious sleeping cars, and the delicious
meals furnished OF its peerless dining
cars, make worry absolutely impos-
sible. For full information as to all its
advantages, write to W. J. c. Kenyon.

Sensible. and Sound.

The latest outbreak of folly says the
Atlanta, Georgia, Constitution, Is q
league against Catholicism, just organ
lied in New York. The leaders OF the
movement pledge themselves to work
until the whole Protestant world rises
against the "Pope and his lieutenants y
Do not the misguided men engaged in
this crusade know they are warning
against everything most sacred and
guaranteed by our constitution to all
men-the right to believe in whatever
religious creed a citizen may freely
choose?
II the members OF the league Iare in
earnest about promoting the cause Of
pure Christianity let them 60 into the
slums Of their city and evangelize the
masses. Let them go to work to con-
vince agnostics aud inddels. This eff
fort to excite feeling of hostility TO-
wards great religious body of good
citizens in our midst is worthy only of
cranks and blgots, The sensible thing
to do would be for Protestants and
Catholics to join hands in fighting the
great evils which menace civilization,
Christianity and society itself. We
have outgrown tue age of persecution,
and we must now respect the religious
opinions Of others Or take a long STEP
backward.

And 50 it is with the Saint Paul & Du.

It aims rather to give the public the
