COMFORTABLE PEOPLE.
They Know What to Do and What to Say
at the Right Time.

They Know What to do and WnaC 60 say
at the Right Time.
1t is often said that it takes all sorts
of people to make the world, and of the
many varieties, to the credit of human
nature be it spoken, not the least nu-
merous is the comfortable or comfort
making species, says Harper's Bazaar.
These people are to be found every
where, doing their duty in such a sweet,
modest fashion that one scarcely an
alyzes the elements which make up
their attractiveness'e even while bdsking
in the warm glow of their kindnesses
and feeling how good and pleasant it
is to live with them.
They are endowed With the rare gift
of knowing what to say and what to do
at the right time and in the right way,
so that they never jar upon ones SEN
sibilities nor give the IMPRESSION that
they are anXiously on the watch to hefSa,
which latter is often too apt to produce
a feeling of burdensome Indebtedness.
Indeed, 1T is not always in what com
Portable people do, it is quite as much
in what they judiciously leave undone
that their peculiar charm consists, and
positive and decided as is their influ-
ence yet it may be fully and thoroughly
described by negatives.
, They never fret and fume over the in
'evitable, they make no arrogant pre-
tensions and naturally therefore they
indulge in no harsh structures, no I'M
gentle criticisms. They are equally
free from that distressing mock mod
esty which practices morbid self-in-
trospection and bestows the results of
the process on small public too bored
and Indifferent to appreciate the con-
fidences.
They never attitudinize as martyrs.
DO matter how great the sacrifices they
make, their self-effacement being SO
genuine that it is truly invisible. They
mover stroke one the wrong way, nor do
they indulge in nagging, that annoying
and perhaps most intolerable of the
small foes to the peace of household,
while the disagreeableness inflicted by
those who do practice the irritating art
Us borne with such piacidity that the
sharp tongues are reduced to silence
through very shame.

BOSTON'S LATEST CULT.
It's Motto Il Glove Is the Fulfilling
Of the Law"
The Church of the Higher Light and Its
! Pastor, Rev. Helen Van Anderson
Ordained by a Trio of Unita-
rian Church Leaders.

In the ordination of Rev. Helen Van
Anderson to the ministry and the or
lganization of the society of which she
is now the pastor, Boston has added to
its already large number of churches
"a new one, the Church of the Higher
Life. 1t is heterodox church, and its
motto is Glove is the fulfilling of the
law"
Mrs. D. II. Kirby, of the Procopeia
club, is deeply interested in the work
Iof the church OF the Higher Life. This
lclub is a newcomer among the trans
icendental cults of which Boston seems
ito be the center, and Mrs. Kirby is a
woman venerated for the occult quail
ties which these who dabble in the
mysterious believe her TO possess. The
name of the club, when first sprang on
the public, precipitated a sudden rush
for dictionaries and leXicons. 1t IS
Greek 1t means advancement or prog
ress, especially in things obscure. Any
thing Just yard or two beyond the
frontier of natural knowledge finds it's
votaries in Boston. Helen Van Ander-
son has been lecturing in Boston for the
past two years. Her themes were spir-
itualistic, but she was careful not to
overstep the line Of demarcation be-
tween the orthodox and heterodoX.
This righteousness saved her from the
fate of many who fail through the enc
1nies they make. She is an entertain
ing speaker.
Her ordination was unique, in that
she received the right hand of fellow
snip without ever having pursued
course in a school of theology The or
dination exercises were held in Allen
hall, ST. Botolph street. The space
was not large enough to comfortably

wool or silk, appropriate for cabin use.

Jagged at home by cutting out of card
board t. desired design, as quarter
lEoon, anchor and so on, and laying it
upon the material, tracing the outline,
iafterward to be worked in Kensington
or etched with the pen. The effect of
rope in sailors knots gracefully trailed
over the pillow with large anchor in
the corner or center is also an artistic
design.
White canvas worked in true colors,
like a flock of seagulls, or birds, or
semblance of waves, with a fish here
and there in solid work, is a very ar
ltlstic design. Blue water, dove-colored
birds and brown or black anchor, with
yellowish rope, are true colors.
Brown and white denim are in taste
for the traveller, with quotations for
the occasion. A college lad or lass
iwouldC appreciate the colors of their
Alma Mater on pillow of white, and
the class pin designed in fine silk etch-
ing in a corner.-N. Y. Times.

COVERS FOR CUSHIONS.
Some New Designs for an Always
Acceptable Gift.
Travellers Can Use 1t, VOysgers Need 1T,
Yachtsmen Must Have 1t, and Home
Stayers Have Many Places
to Put 1t.

It is quite the fashion to present
gifts which are especially useful to the
recipient in his or her favorite sport
or accomplishment. A tennis player
is given a handsome racket and cover;
a golf player, set of sticks; an artist,
lgome one of his many tools; yachts
man, set of pillows or cushions;
musician, something for the music
broom, and so on, whatever is appro-
pirate and particularly useful.
! The pillow seems an almost univer-
SAL gift. 1t fits in everyones situation,
whatever it be. A traveller can use 1T;
ia voyager needs it, yachtsman must
have it, home-stayer has dozen
,places to put it, and the covering and
size distinguish it's specific use.
: For a yachting friend, sailcloth or
denim is appropriate. The sketches
show some of each kind. The round one
is made of white canvas, having APP
Iplique figures of blue denim, on which

DIS they fade. For table decorations
they are lovely and can be suspended
from chandeliers or from stands made
TO support them, only, if gas is used,
they should be removed Immediately
after meals to a more congenial atmos-
phere. The water seeping through the
porous vessel drops slowly from time
70 time; hence it is necessary to keep
growing plants or some vessel under
meath to receive the water, or the fern
ball can be emptied before placing over
the table and filled again as soon as the
meal is over, and placed where the
dropping will do no damage. In green
houses, windows and for almost any
house or veranda decoration they are
very beautiful, and the small amount
of care and attention they require is
great advantage.

THE DAUGHTERS PART.
She Can Do Much Toward Making Hon
Life Ideally Pleasant.

She Can Do Much Toward Making Home
Life Ideally Pleasant.
One of the sweetest things girl can
do is to receive friends graciously, par
ticularly at home. In ones own house
cordial manner is particularly fit
ting. Do not stand off in the middle
of the room and bow coldly and formal
ly to the friend who has called. Walk
over to meet her; give her your hand
and say pleasantly that you are very
glad to see her again. Stiff, cold and
formal ways of greeting acquaintances
are not proper in a girl welcoming
guests to her fathers house.
A daughters part is to assist her
mother on every social occasion. The
girl pours the tea in her mothers draw
ing-room when friends drop in at five
O'Clock. Quite often, when no maid is
present, she helps the guests to the
sandwiches and the cakes which are
served at five o'clock tea, and herself
hands the cups and takes them from
the guests who would like to be re-
lieved.
Apart from and more important even
than her manner to guest who hap
pens in for an hour or day is the man
,ner of a daughter to her father and
mother. The father returns to his
home after wearying day at business.
He is tired in body and mind. Coming
back, as his latchkey turns in the home
door, he thorws off care; he is joyous
at the thought of the dear ones he will
meet after hours of absence.
His young daughter, in a pretty
gown, with the bloom and freshness
only girlhood wears, should be ready
to give him the attention he loves--the
kiss, the CHEEKY word-to help her
mother and the rest in letting he father
see how much he is loved at home.
Men give up a great deal for their fami-
lies--their time, their strength, the
knowledge they have gained in Iife's
experiences-they spend everything
freely for their homes sake, and the
home should pay it's debt in much out
spoken love.-Harper's Round Table.

INEXPENSIVE COUCH.
Something Dainty and Useful to Hold
Ones Best Gowns.

Something Dainty and Useful TO Hold
Ones Best Gowns.
A dainty woman who has a passion
for the elusive odor of heliotrope has
evolved for herself an idea whereby she
can impregnate her belongings at light
expense and very satisfactorily. From
two clean packing boxes she has made
two boxes of another shape.
One was six feet long by 19 inches
or so deep, and about 36 inches wide.
Another was made just as long and
just as wide, but not quite so deep.
Both boxes were made quite strong,
and one, the deepest, had short, strong
legs finished with casters. This deep
est box was lined neatly with wrap
ping paper, and over this lining of
pale blue silesia was tackled. For the
bottom of this box three large sachets
were made which formed a soft bottom,
and this was thoroughly scented with
her favorite odor.
! The second or shallow box had its
bottom also covered with large sachet
or padded lining, and the top was up
sholstered with springs and filling.
Then the two boxes were joined to-
getlef, one ABOVE the OUner, ny CHIte
STOUT hinges. A piece of tapestry cloth
was plated around the edge of the
lower box, and tackled with gimps fall
ing in rich valence to the floor.
The upper box was covered smoothly
sover the upholstering, and the edge
that touched the lower one was also
FINISHED with gimp. Several attractive
'pillows completed the outside arrange
ment, and a very artistic couch was
the result. a bunch of tassels at either
outside corner served to lift the up
holstered top, revealing a receptacle
for gowns andwraps where they could
rest in scented seclusion with infannity
from creases or brushes, as the box
was FASHIONED with sufficient length
to admit of tnefi heing laid in without
fold. Any carpenter could make the.
boxes, and the upholstering will cost
but little, the tapestry being most ex-
pensive, but any other material pre-
ferred could be substituted, thus bring
ing the cost even lower.

accommodate all who wished to hear
the ceremony. Dozens stood. The ex-
ercises opened at eight o'clock in the
evening. Rev. Antoinette B. Blackwell
delivered the invocation, and Rev. Flor
ence E. Rollock read the Scripture les
son. The sermon was by Rev. Minor
j. Savage, who took for his subject
''The Work of Modern Minister in
Religion" At the close of Mr.. Savage's
sermon the ordination prayer was said
by Rev. Florence E. Rollock, after
which Rev. NJ. j. Savage and Rev. A.
B. Blackwell laid their hands upon the
new pastors head.
BoSton's new woman pastor, says the
New York Sun, was born in Iowa. She
is about 35 years old, fair of feature
and modish. Herr good taste in dress
created little feeling not long ago,
some of her followers threatening to
take offense unless she appeared in
subdued garb. Hereafter she will APP
pear in the pulpit gowned in robe
of sober hue. A good part of her years
was spent in Chicago, and it was while
there that she attracted attention with
her pen, having written some readable
short stories and one or two books.
Her first book, ''The Right Knock" has
gone through as many as half dozen
editions. Mrs. Van Anderson lives at
the Oxford, in the Back Bay district.
