The Princeton stu dents.

the Princeton students, who are spending
their vacation in evangelistic work through
out New England, opened series of meet
ing here yesterday morning In the First Bap-
tist church. Mr.. PiersoD, the leader, does
all the speaking, and is accompanied by
male quartette who do the singing. In the
afternoon they were at the open-air meeting
on MuDjoy Hill. and In the evening a union
service was held in the Second Parish
church. The audience was remarkably
large, especially for a summer night.
Mr.. Pierson spoke very earnestly and fore
IDLY on the needs Of deciding Alright on the
greatest questions of all-the acceptance of
Jesus as a personal savior-drawing the
distinction between morality alone and
morality with religion. Speaking Of the idea
that some young men had that religion was
kind of namby-pamby affair, he showed
that among the young men Of the colleges,
the most influential and prominent of the
athletes were sturdy Christians, instancing
among others, Stagg, the great pitcher Of
Yale, and Poe. the captain Of the Princeton
football team, and Luther Cary, the phe
nomenal runner. who has broken some Of the
worlds records.
Tonight the meeting will be held In the
Second Parish church, commencing at 745.
All are requested to bring Gospel Hymns,
No. 5, that being the book used with congre-
gational singing.

quite tall and has an exceedingly graceful
figure, Just bursting into womanhood. She
is a dark-eyed, dark k-haired beauty, with a
clear pink and white complexion.
This fetching creature Is skilled tennis
player, and what she doesn't kLow about the
game is not worth knowing, at least so the
young men say.
Her tennis suit is very pretty and is much
admired by her friends. 1t Is of the hnest
white flannel trimmed with silk and gold
cord. The basque Of the coat and the plain
skirt are edged with gold cord. The waist

ceedingly comfortable.
