Society has a brand new fad in the way
of amusements. The fashionables OF Wash
ington, in their newly nedged fondness
for athletics and out-ofdoor sports, have
outstripped all their fonner ycarnlugs in
this respect, and are now reveliug in q field
that heretofore has been entirely usurped
by the tyrant man. The New Woman-to be
spelled with a very big N and a very big
w when it applies to tie society genus
has broken down all barriers, ignored prec-
edent and swept away distaateful tradi-
tions Of tie past. To-day is rot as yester-
day, from which if is safe to assume that
in turn tomorrow viii be even vastly more
different from to-day.
Satiated with tennis playing, Glutted
with golf links, wearied with attendance
upon baseball games, it was TO be expected
that Washington society would turn to the
latest novelty and find vent forsuperfmous
animal spirits in the new fad alluded 10.

nature Of a lark 1t amuses all hands and
does comparatively little harm, unless the
occasional loss of q feather or two to Tie

a serious misfortune.
As yet it can hardly be considered in the
light of q iasi ionatle amusement to which
the attention of tie Humane Society is TO
be directed.

How Persian Women Dress.

The costume of the Persian lady Is as
elaborate as that OF any western woman,
and probably more artificial. A profusion
Of jewelry is worn Of the most solid de-
scription. Silver is worn only by the very
poor, and coral only by negresses. Neck
lets and bracelets are much used, also
chains with scent caskets attached there
to- while the arms are covered with elang-
ing glass bangles, some 20on single arm.
Jewcled talismcn are often worn on the
upper part of the arm, while among the
lower orders of south Persian or Arabian
women nose rings are not uncommon.
Out of doors, a Persian lady Is perfectly
unrecagnizahle even by her husband. She
is envelopcd in chador, or huge blue
sheet and linen veil perforated about
two inches square with minute holes, and
her feet are thrust into two huge bags Of
colorcd stuff And this applies to all
classes. rs. although some Of the materials
are more costly than others, the effect pro

4 Pitiable Life.

There are, according to the last census,
considerably over 90 900, 600 widows in
India, and of all the sad and sorrowful
conditions of human life that of an Indian
widow is most pitiable. The last Madras
census report stated that every third Brah-
man woman is a widow. In England the
proportion of widows to the total number
of women is a per cent But in India
it approximates, as we perceive, to 33 1-3
per cent. And the law of enforced and
penitential celibacy applies strictly in all
these cases.-London Letter.

As the children of Israel We're en-
camped in tho land of Moab, about to
enter Ine land of Palestine, Moses
pointed their minds backward as well
as -. -. -. falling to their minds the
wonderful goodness of God and i'm
pressing upon them the Importance OF
keeping their covenant with God. This
was Very appropriate, because it was an
important milestone in their lives All
such occasions should be used in the
same way, and perhaps the most COM
mon of such occasions today is the close
Of the year This is the popular period
for looking backward and reviewing the
past life. But many use it simply to re-
view their own lives and 60 see how
they may be improved or how they may
profit from the experiences of the past.
But there is another who should be
taken into consideration, and that other
is God. 1t is specially fitting and ap-
propriate that upon such occasions we
should recall the manifold goodness and
psalm of remembrance and praise to
God and may direct US in a similar act
l. David praises God for his fame and
honor in the world verse lSl Great
is the Lord and greatly to be praised,
and His greatness is unsearchable. One
generation shall praise Thy works to an
other y The name of God is honOred in
the world Few men will blaspheme
the name Of God The wonder is not
that there are so many atheists in the
world but so few. OF all the great men
of any age only few are pronounced
infdels This is a matter of great salts
faction, and we~hould praise God for it.
2 David praises God for His goodness
verse 9-12l 1.-The Lord is good to all,
and His tender mercies are over all His
works" We can all testify to the good
ness and mercy of God. As we look
over the past year, although there may
have been trial and hardship or even
misfortune or want, still we can testify
that the Lord is good Even in the af
fections of God there is goodness. "All
things work together for good TO them
that love God, to them that are called
according to His purpose. We should
remember the goodness of God and
praise Him for it.
s. David praises God for his kingdom
oversees 1917. And if David praised
God for his kingdom in his day how
much more should we in this day, when
the kingdom of Christ has actually been
set up i'll the world.
4 David praises God for his saving
mercy (verses ls-2I}. Above and over
all things We should praise God for His
mercy shown toward US in Jesus Christ.
