The Parsons Call.

The way in which the average min
lister persists in treating an opportun-
ity for changing his field of labor as a
matter of inspiration rather than of
businesses it really isis not always
shared in by the rest of the world. says
the N. Y. EUe1staag San. Just why a
minister should not look at call to a
new and larger field, with more work
and bigger salary, in just the same
practical way as any other man would.
has never seemed clear. The truth
probably is that most of them do look
at it more sensibly than they pretend
to. but they seem to think it due them
selves and the world that they should
keep up the idea of divine guidance in
the matter and not accept an offer un-
til they have prayed their way clear to
it. And, while this little hesitancy as
to duty is going on in the soul of the
good parson, the urging flock are often
tempted to push up the salary notch
or two under the mistaken idea that
that may have some effect on the
result.
In such cases and at such times as
this it is perhaps well enough for the
parson to put his family under accu-
rate instructions as to the proper
things to say. Not long ago The
Woman knew of a case of most un-
godly and disastrous truth-telling at
such a time as this. This parson had
call from little country parish to a
large and wealthy one in big city.
He asked time for prayer and consid-

A Gorgeous Costume Exhibited to an

When correspondent recently WIS.,
tied Turkish princess at Cairo she
found a bright little woman with a fair
skin and natural reddish hair. made
more so by the use of henpa. Her
blue eyes looked out from dark eye
brows and lashes-also dyed with some
eastern dye; then her eyes were
kohled. but done in such perfection
that it was difficult to discover where
| nature stopped and art began. Her
| hair was very long and thick; she wore
| it in two long plaits down her back.
fastened at the end with clasps of dia-
monds and sapphires of great value.
| At intervals through these tresses
glimmered a precious stone or gold
coin, but only very few. On her head
she wore a small embroidered cap to
match her dress. which was purely
oriental. The shintyans, or trousers.
were of delicate mauve silk brocade,
with a long train in the back, which
| looped up, so as to hide the form of
the trousers; the chemisette was of
game of the same color, embroidered
in white silk, open at the throat. show
ing lovely white. well-shaped neck.
| A white underbodice concealed slightly
her form. which was uncompressed by
stays. In our society her dress would
not be considered modest. but with
them they only consider showing their
| faces to men immodest. They have
no sense of shame about exposing their
| persons. Over this she wore a small
| jacket of violet velvet. trimmed with
silver ball fringe-round her waist Was
girdle of precious stones. like a
stomacher. Her tiny feet were slipped
into shoes of the same shade as her
jacket, embroidered in silver. She
wore wonderful jewels-and not toe
many; but those she wore were of the
most costly kind. Her hands were
small and well shaped. very white,
only the nail of her little finger of the
right hand was stained with henna.
