SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

-"Sam" Jones, the Georgia evan
gelist, gets $4,000 and his expenses for
his months revival work in Boston, &C.
cording to the Transcript.
1t is said of Sidney Eanier that mu-
sic was to him a necessity. He literally
lived in world Of music. he was al.
ways hearing melodies, and when he
improvised had only to play them.
Rev. DR.. William Prall, rector of st.
Johns Episcopal church, Detroit, was
married the other day TO Miss Helen
Lothrop, of Detroit. DR.. Pran was a
rising politician of New Jersey a few
years ago. He entered the Episcopal
ministry, however. and for a time was
rector of an Episcopal church in one Of
the Oranges.
1t Is an interesting fact, brought
out by the recent anniversary of the
Scotch church, that DR.. Vermilye, so
long senior pastor of the collegiate
church, was at the age Of II g. student
at Yale college, by the aid of funds pro-
vided by the Scotch church. DR.. Mason,
pastor Of the Scotch church, taught him
Latin and Greek.
The Boston Transcript says: REV.
DR.. Isaac Lansing has decided to re-
sign the passionate of Park Street
church, but the society must pay him
$500 for so doing, In addition to 1866
which he claims as his salary to March
81. DIR. Lansing does not look upon the
amount of money as a bonus, for he
declares that the action of the church
committee has placed him in an unfavor-
able light before other societies, which
Is likely to affect his future prospects
seriously"
The Protestant Episcopal church,
or at least 3 certain section of it, Is con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of employing
evangelists or LAY readers" more ex-
tensively. Even the conservative Church
Standard has been arguing for their
employment, suggesting that there is a
field where the lay evangelist is spe-
cially needed and where the ordained
minister cannot take his place. Com
mon sense" it says. rebels against the
notion, which is without warrant Of
Holy Scriptures. that the work of evan
geiization by preaching the Gospel with
the living voice is peculiar prerogative
of any order IN the church, however
sacred"

which were punches of tiny pink roses.
The waist was of plain chiffon with a
girdle of pearls and rhinestones. Puff
ings of chiffon encircled the decollete.
The hair was dressed high with little
stiff spray of pink roses.
The round-cut evening waist off the
shoulders is more fashionable than the
square-cut, and while it shows the
shoulders can still be arranged more
modestly than the other. Ali evening
gowns are worn a trife higher and have
o soft fold or two of lace or chiffon ar
ranged as tucker. Lace berthas are
worn, but are Of narrow lace, caught up
so not to hide the lines Of the figure.

A,DEBUTANTE'S WARDROBE.

Suitable Gowns and Wraps for Young
Society Girls.
An important gown for the young girl
just out in society is the one to be worn
On the street-one not too elaborate for
q morning walk and still smart enough
| for a luncheon or afternoon reception.
1t is almost impossible to make one
gown do duty for these several occa-
sions, so there should be two-a rough
and-ready tailor-made cheviot, severely
plain, but well fitting, and a smooth
faced cloth of bright blue, braided with
black-the waist in reality jacket,
tight-fitting and braided in military
fashion with black. With this are worn
boa and muff of silver-gray fur-a
color that only fresh, young faces can
stand.
This second gown might be Of bright
red with black satin, made with boz
Zero jacket and gold buttons, or of gray
worn with gray felt hat trimmed with
ostrich feathers. A bolero jacket and
full belt and front of rose-color satin
relieved the gray.
Elton Jackets are favored this winter.
They are more suitable to young girls
than to elderly women, and dressmakers
have not been slow to take advantage
of this fact. Dark-brown velveteen, or
dark red, make charming street cos
tunes made with the Elton jacket. One
Of brown has tight-ftting waistcoat
md broad belt of yellow silk trimmed
with threads of mink
Short jackets Of seal or Persian lamb
are desirable, but must always be short,
as the longer coats are only for older
women. Russian blouses in fur, belt
cd with narrow gold belt, are in fash
Ion. None of the fur garments close
at the throat, but open to show jabots
md bows of ribbon and lace to the dis
comfo1+ and future pneumonia of the
wearer
Daintiness should be the predomi-
nant feature in a debutante's evening
gown. White and the light shades Of
pink, blue, yellow and green are pref
test At the Assembly hall in New
York nearly all the young women who
made their first appearance wore white,
looking exquisitely fresh and simple in
spite OF the fact that the gowns were
rich and could have been made only
by the smartest modistes. Light gauzy
fabrics, made over silk or satin under
slips, were the rule; sometimes a tulle
skirt had a satin waist trimmed with
tulle. One gown of embroidered chiffon
had pattern OF love-knots interspersed
with gaTlands around the skirt. which

| q Pretty and Practical Method OF Ar
ranging Photographs.
To make the frame, simply procure
an oblong bit Of heavy cardboard large
| enough to allow of the chosen num-
Der of openings. In it have cut as many
circles as you have photographs; then
cut = bit of fine white linen an inch
larger all around. On the linen mark
exactly where each opening falls.
When that is done draw or have
stamped various blossoms, as you may
prefer. The suggestions given have
been found effective and serviceable,
but are of course susceptible to change.
Holly for the winter man, forget-me.
nots for him of whom we dream, bios
SONS for the pretty man, violets for the
sentimental man and daisies for the
summer man are those most popular,
however.
Embroider each wreath carefully and
exactly; then wind simulated ribbon
in and out. Indicate it by an outlining
on each edge, and about each frame
outline the lettering. The remainder
OF the work Is purely technical, but it
requires absolute neatness to insure
success.
Press the linen carefully on the
under side; then stretch it over the
cardboard, taking great care that each
circle falls exactly over its opening.
Pull It tight and smooth and paste the
edges to the under side of the board.
Cut each circle out, but be sure TO cut
one-half inch within the line Slack the
edges and tnrn them under neatly;
then paste them firmly into place.
When the paste Is quite dry lay over
the back second piece of board, and in
1t cut slashes or openings to admit each
card. Paste il to the Uncovered beard
at all four sides and send to q Trainer
for the glass and passepartout binding.

Hardly has the man of the house fin

cost OF living recalculated with tedious
regularity.
