man or woman in his employ. The
life of any organization, religious or
secular, emanates from its head, and to
that rule there is no exception. The
vast majority Ut people, young and
old, are like sheep: they follow a
leader. To be a successful head OF a
Sunday school calls for man with
the instincts of leadership; man who
will infuse life into the school; hope
and courage into his teachers; who is
fertile Of mind and infinite in capac-
ity; who can draw children to him and
retain their interest. The duty which
lies before the Sunday school superin-
tendant il not an easy one. Not only
must he elevate his children in spir-
itual sense. but lessons Of the highest
morality must be taught; an influence
refining to mind and nature must be
exhaled. and all the time the interest
of the children must be arrested and
held. Infinite variety OF method must
be sought. The young quickly tire Of
anything which long remains the
same, and that is why they are firing
Of the Sunday school. 1t has too long
remained the same. 1t has fallen into
q rut, and the fault lies between the
presiding spirits Of the school who
have no ability for their positions,
and the churches who have placed
them there or allow them to remain"
Mr., Box says that business women
should not be asked to teach on Sunday
on the children's account and on their
own. Because their spirits and minds
are faded and it is impossible to inter
est children unless by the effort Of the
hest minds i'm the best condition. We
are willing enough to accept Mr.. Bok's
conclusions, but his premises are at
war with each other. He advises the
selection OF a superintendent sue
cessfully occupied during the week
with voluminous affairs, with a fer
tile mind and original devices for in
teresting the pupils in the Sunday
school. Such a man as he describes
would certainly need to rest his teem-
ing intellect on Sunday just al much
AZ the humble possessOr Of a feminine
intellect which is occupied during the
week i'm measuring and selling dry
goods, playing on typewriter or
school. However, most OF
the statements in the Sunday school
article are indisputable, and the au-
thor promises more on the same sub.

An entirely new and remarkable
phase of Walter A. Wyckoff's expert
ences as day-laborer is begun in the
March Scribner's with "The Workers
The West" A certain idyllic quality
was never far distant from even his
most sordid experiences in the rural re-
gions, which made the first division of
this narrative the most talked of serial
feature Of the year. But in this new
experiment he plunges into the "heart Of
a congested labor market Chicago, be-
fore the Worlds Fair. Here he learned
what it was to look for work and fail to
lind it under the spur Of hunger and
cold His narrative differs from all
previous accounts Of the slums and
stunning because ne actually lived the
the life for months on the same condi-
tons as the poorest. He raised himself
from the vagabond class by the only
door that is open to them-the door OF
labor. He entered into their orgapiza-
tions-labor unions, socialist meetinpe
and anarchist societies. He does not be-
'ieve that We are on the eve OF Social
Revolution" and this narrative will be
the best answer to alarmists. 1t is not
an economic discussion, however, but en-
absorbing-often dramatic and pathetic
account OF actual people and expert.
ences. These are facts of life presented
with amazing literary skill.
In W. r. Leigh the series has found
an ideal illustrator. He has the same
fidelity to reality in bis art that character
ICES Mr.. Wyckoff's writing. And he is a
master in composition. These illustra.
lions were made OH the spot, and the
author put the artist IN touch with the
real scenes Of his adventures. Chicago
will be the setting of the narrative for
the next four or five chapters.

usual this spring and it was declared
disgraceful. Some wag had urged that
it would be rather announcement for a
man to lay down his bundles and lift the
lid Of the garbage box when he wished
to expectol ate, but it would cause him
very little trouble to step to the edge Of
the curb and would save the feelings OF
disgust that cannot fail to be aroused as
we'll as the hens Of many gowns.
An ordinance has been drafted by
Mrs. Richardson against expectoration
in public halls and buildings and street
cars. There was some diversity Of opin-
ion as to whether sidewalks should be
included in this or not.
The garbage boxes came in for their
share Of discussion. The society ex-
pressed itself az well pleased with them
as to color and the question arose how to
interest children and people in general
in using the boxes. Nor, cans or boxes
will be placed in position as soon as pos
sible.
Plans were also debated for the fur.

MUSICAL MENTION.


graduate student Of the conservatory OF
music. Miss Lythe was assieted by Miss
Amelia HOLSTER, soprano, and Miss Eva
p. Fuller, pianist.
The opening number was played with
taste Gnd rhythmic decision. This was
perhaps the most successful number of
the evening, though her rendering OF
the Schumann Aufschwung awakened
more enthusiasm. Mics Lythe's appeal
is made to the refinei EN- 3tiops, her
touch is delicate and her runs clear and
even. but she gave this with q force
and brilliancy that struck the vigorous
side Of our appreciation. Her second
number. Mendelssohn Concerto, was
gratifying, especially in the last move
ment which she played with more ease
and abandon than characterized the first
movement, 10 which the ensemble was
not always good.
Miss Fuller played the orchestral
parts With musical feeling and sympa.
thy, with q buoyant swing and accent.
Miss Lythe played her program with
ease and modesty, her faults are the
faults Of the inexperienced player. they
come from temperament that is not yet
firmly controlled, she was not rythnically
steady and she lacked repose. Ore or
two slips Of memory count for nothing
when the player adjusts things with
promptness and tact. Taken all in all
Miss Lythe may be well satisfied with
the success of her recital. For an en-
core Miss HOLSTER sang "Mavourneen."

Avoid ShOddy Stuffs.
From the Philadelphia Times.

Above all things, shoddyism is to be avoid
co. If you can sfford but one gown. lie.
that be of such sensible and well-wearing
material as serge. cheviot. covert cloth or
mohair. Nothing is so unseemly as shiny
satin soiled or raveled silk. Draggled silk
petticoats are another abomination Three
pretty colored percale skirts, like silk
in color and design, can be had, all
three, for one-fifth the price of the ordinary
made silk skirt, and they always have that
blessed advantage of cleanliness. TO have
ones clothes always crisp and fresh and
clean Is the very next best thing to having
an unlimited supply of everything the most
fashionable. Bright oolored skirts, immac-
ulate and starched-is that not better than
a dragged piece Of old finery, for silk will
gather The dirt, will cut and split and will
not wash? Now that the "frou frou' is out
of style, percale skirts are more to be rec
commended than ever. They cost, ready
made, 81 apiece, but If one is handy at the
sewing machine, two skirts very much
fuller than the ready-ma6e ones can be
made for less than that price. Six yards
at 121a cents yard are required for each
skirt, and two can easily be made at home
in day.

ter caps are most becoming wear to some
faces, while small yachting caps are stuck
to the year round by those whose chief de-
sire Is mot to catch wind" Felt is softer
than straw, but the GOODNESS of the sailor
hat and its shady brim give 1t the palm for
hot weather. Some of this years sailors
have their crowns walled in to make
reservoir for rainwater. Except for desert
tours, where supplies must be carried. these
should be avoided. The popular sailor is
trimmed with striped or plaided scarf to
match the tie. Another decoration is a
broad scarf laid around the brim and fas-
tened with gold or silver pins in the shape
of trumpets.
A thoroughly up-to-date bicycle costume
may have tartan hat band, necktie stock
ings and, in addition to these, the broad
tartan scarf of Highland dress passing over
one shoulder and under the other arm
Fortunately, however, such completeness
is not absolutely required.

RUSSIAN LACE MAKERS,

Peasant Women Who Do the Work
Raise All Their Own Materials.
From the New York Times.
The Russian peasant women make their
lace in the winter. In the summer there is
not so much time for II, for they have their
agricultural duties. The peasants never
buy anything for their work. If they have
their seeds they raise the fax and spin the
thread and make tn. lace, or they raise the
sheep and spin the fine wool and make the
beautiful Orenburg shawls. Sometimes a
woman will make her lace from the very
beginning, planting the seeds and doing all
the work, even TO selling the lace she has
made. but not always. Some of the women
raise the fax and do the spinning and ex-
change with the lac makers, but they al
ways do IL among themselves. 1t Is all
peasant work. They do everything for
themselves, and the men even make the
spinning wheels and looms for weaving.
The women get up very early, perhaps 4
or ; o'clock in the morning. and they work
until ii or II O'Clock at night. But they are
gay people, and in the evening a great
many pea5arts gather in one house. and
they will bring their work and sing as they
work, or sometimes they will stop for a
little while and dance, and then go to work
aRaiE.
They do not know any other life, and
