beautiful solo, which was much en-
ioyed by all.
There is nothing more eleyatInS
and improving than good music,
either vocal or instrumental, and
m hour cannot be spent to better
advantage than by bringing one $
life under It's touch. We wish it
were SO that the church could lay
its hand upon he string band and
utilize it. and why not? We are
commanded To praise the Lord with
Inst snch instruments. How sweet
is the music of the harp and Il e
stringed instruments blended with
the organ! We do not expect any
thing grander until we reach heav-
Ell and become enraptured by the
strains Of heavenly music. We are
glad to zee our young men taking
so much interest i'll music.
We trust 1t will not be long un-
til Mrs. Matheny will favor us

"I think" writes Ruth Ashmore, ad-
dressing a reply to girl correspondent
who asks how TO become a social success
in August Ladies Home Journal, "that
yon will be social success, for you are
pretty to talk with. and pleasant, too, to
look upon, but you must remem ber every
day and every hour OF your life that
social success is only obtained by con.
tinued thought OF the value of little
things. The little pleasures are really
great ones, the little courtesies are keenly
appreciated and the little politenesses are
those that will make you not only low
able girl, but lady. i think TO be a
social success YOU must be that. Reform
ers are prone to say that the finest name
that can be given to you or to me Is wo-
man. Perhaps that is true. But 1t seems
to me that you should also wish to be called
lady. You are woman by birth, and a
lady because OF your tact and good man
ners. There Is many q woman truthful
and honest, but SO LACKING in tact that
she cannot possibly be called lady. III,
therefore, you wish to have society APP
prove OF you you must be ladylike and
tactful as well as womanly.
