ence ~ One and Convinced It
The Rev Dr. Eady was At one time
Theological student at the Northwestern
university Accompanied 10y some of his
CLASSMATES. he went 10 the camp meeting
whore he was down on the programme to
preach his first sermon Hero they found
young man named Frr1 Hought9n who
was much under conviction because Of his
sins. Soon all the Theological students
had surrounded the peuitcut and were eX
horting him 90 accept Christ as his say

diynes was brought 10 bear on Houghton,
until II brcaWe evident thai il Was becOm-
ing somewhat We1risome to him and hs
went To the woods 'oug toward even
ing like Zacchcu- OF old, who climbed up
into sycamore tree he assembled into a
Eastwood tree whose limbs nearly touched
the ground, and there pursued his medita-
tions.
DIR Eddy WAS 70 preach that night and
felt nervous aud apprchensive. As the
shades of night were approaching he also
hied himself 30 the woods and rchearsed
his sermon beneath the tree in which
Houghton was cnscOnced. Thinking him
self alone and that none but the eye Of
God was upon him, he warmed up and in
eloquent tones exhOrted his imaginary
hearers to accept the faith. When he had
finished great was his surprise when
HouQhton descended from the tree and
said he was willing to come to Christ and
declared shat Ir. Eddy's sermon had saved
him.
In after years DR.. Eddy declared that
had Houghton shouted while he was in
the midst of his funeral sermon over
Houghton's remains be would not have
been more surprised than he was when
Houghton came down the treo.-New

purple and gray. A year and a half for
father or mother. the same length of
time for brother or sister, is the time
limit usually made. and there are many
who do not consider it necessary to
wear the purple or gray after leaving
off the deep black. Mrs. John Jacob
Astor's mourning has been, perhaps. the
most becoming worn. and Mrs. LorilIard
Spencer, who this winter wears most
charming costume of dead black silk,
long cloak, has also been noted for her
perfect taste in mourning costumes. As
both these women are noticeable beau~
ties. it may be that their mourning garb
was shown off to greater advantage.
Mrs. Sam Colgate, who is now lighten-
ing her mourning, has worn the most
stunning mourning costumes possible.
They have been, almost without eXcep-
ton, covered with Grape, and her long
Grape veil, thrown back, has always
been fastened on a tiny bonnet, fitting
closely TO her head.
A pretty English costume. which has
of late found favor here. is the wearing
of very sheer white linen cuffs and coll
lars, turned over at wrists and neck.

knowing as they do full well that they
may be forgotten and their places

When hats instead of b0nnets are
worn by Young people in first MOURN

the season requires. and trimmed with
Grape. Later Oh mourning silk Is al
Iowable. But flowers and jet buckles
are quite out of place until mourning is
very much lightened.
Cloth or Serge Is Used.
There are certain materials for dress
goods which are used almost exclusively
in mourning. Henrietta cloth stands
first among these materials, but dead
black serge is much used for street cos
tunes. Grape on street gowns is not
desirable. although there are gowns
made and worn faced with Grape to the
knees and with jacket OF Grape: but
they are extremely perishable and quite
unsuitable for women who have to
walk. For wear in the house Grape
gowns are most beautiful, and the Grape

waists with plain skirts are invariably
becoming. Black bengaline and French
faille waists trimmed with narrow
bands and cordings OF Grape are much
worn this year. They are appropriate
with the cloth skirts. with Grape skirts,
or, when the mourning is not very
heavy. with skirts OF the same. Grape
lends itself in delightful way to faneys
waists and big sleeves.
Dinner gowns for those who do not
mourn too deeply 10 have few friends

which was quite decollete, was MADE OF
folds upon folds of Grape, with broad,
fiat bertha, which was cut open at the
shoulders to allow the huge pulls OF
which the sleeves were composed TO
have plenty or room. The woman for
whom the gown was made was quite
young and was the fortunate poSSess0r

Many women think that the trimming

make any material look like mourning,

handsome together, but lnc0ngruouS 10
the eyes of the educated, who have been
accustomed to believe that these two
materials should not be com bined. This
velvet and Grape gown was copied from
an English one, and was certainly eX-
tremely smart.
When wearing furs in mourning there
is not very much choice. Persian lamb,
black fox and lynx are really the only
ones that can, strictly speaking, be
called mourning furs. Sealskin coats
are sometimes worn, but there IS IN the

would seem, indeed, that false senti-

practical ideas in this practical age. 10
is by no means certain that it would not
be 4 good thing if laws were passed
prohibiting the use of mourning for any
excessive period. 1t is said that ROYALTY
in England are much against the wear
Ing of Grape, it being such an expensive
material that those who have not the
means lind it extremely difficult to dress
as is the custom of the day.
it is not the fashion in this country to
put the indoor servants into mourning
when there is death in the family. but
the liverieS of cOachmen and footmen
must accord with the mourning worn
by the family. and they are accordingly
clothed in black and black bands put
on their hats. Some people who have
light liyeries. and who do not care to
change them for black. have their man
servants wear a band or bow Of Grape
on the sleeve instead. The band on the
hat in these instances is also used.
