The ladies were delighted with the
suggestion, and, as soon as con-
venient, called upon a prominent
Baptist pastor and made known their
wish to be baptized.
Certainly replied the pastor,
but there are certain preliminaries
to be gone through before baptism,
certain preparations to be made. 1t

lightly submitted to, and, blythe way,
it appears to me strange that you

Yes; we do not intend to become
members of your church; we only
want to be baptized, as we believe
immersion to be the proper form of
baptism. We are going to join the
Episcopalian Church.

Eating Between Meals.
A young child should have a piece
of bread and butter between meals if
it wants it. Some Spartan mothers
think that eating at Irregular inter
walls Injuries the digestion. Regular
habits r important to a child's well
fare, and this among them; but even
older persons sometimes feel faint and
hungry when the food that they have
eaten at one meal is of a nature that
digests more quickly than usual, and
so does not satisfy them until the
next. Why should not children feel
the same pangs? Hunger is natures
cry for food and should be dis
regarded when one has the where
withal to appease it. This applies
particularly to children. whose rapidly
growing bodies demand a plentiful
supply of material to form a new
tissue as well as to repair the daily
waste, Robinson Scovil in
Ladies' Home Journal.
One woman's Method.
Not a thousand miles from the
Capitol building dwells a bright
young woman whose clever brain
more than atones for the absence of
that personal beauty which renders
many maidens attractive in the eyes
of other fnaidens' brothers. This
damsel has never failed to retain her
hold on the interest of the young men
of her acquaintance. One potent
method has come to light. She pos
sesses good photographs of her manly
admirers. These she does not imniure
in the recesses of the family album or
the compartments of a~plush photo
holder, but on the evening sacred to
the call of one of these gentlemen his
photograph, encircled by a pretty
frame, is sure to have a conspicuous
place in the coy parlor.
No man is proof against fattery,
and this subtitle phase thereof goes to
the heart of the man who notes his
picture. The next caller finds his
photograph occupying the favored
place, and he goes away in a condi-
ton of extreme complacency. This
neat plan has operated successfully
for some time. aud until the half dozen
visitors are seized with an actual de-
| sire to boast to one another, and so
disclose the secret of the changeable
nature of the pretty frames contents,
it seems likely that the young woman
will not lack appreeiative admirers.
Love me, love my carte de visite," is
a young mans favorite motto.-Home
