Only low shoes look well In summer.
and OF these there should be a pair of
russell pigskins, pair OF heavy calf
skins. pair Of patent feathers to wear
with the trimmed hats to church. etc.
and pumps for evening wear, to COM
plete the necessary stock In trade. A
dozen shirt waists are absolutely nee
essary, and half dozen more are de-
sirable. Those of last year look decid-
edly old-fashioned. Stocks are better
for the neck than stiff collars, as the
former are supposed not to be starched
and they are more comfortable for rid
ing and golf. A dozen collars and a
dozen stocks, then, for neckwear. with
variety of ties. The best summer
gloves for outing purposes are the
white wash chamois. A dozen pairs Of
these would last the whole summer il
properly washed and cared for. Pale
shades In suede for church, and pique
for evening look the best. A golf
cape, macintosh and well-made

necessary In the way of wrappers, al

The formation and development OF
CHRISTIAN character meets with many q
rough and rugged obstruction. Natur-
al temperament. cold indifference to tho
claims Of others. and deep-rooted self
ishness, interpose great hindrances to
christian sympathy, charity and holi-
ness. Ayarice, envy, Jealousy and evil
nature in general have TO lie dealt with.
ihey can not be broken and done away
with single stroke, or rolled from the
path by one strong resolve. No angel
OF God can be counted on to come and
remove the stones. Day by day
throughout life they must be smitten
with the truth Of God. Prayer without
ceasing for their removal must be Kept
up. And so, as the waters wear away
the stones, the impediments will be

be obtained. To illustrate this, | sat-
