Our Model and many of the societies will

meeting led by the junior superintendent.
AT the Christian Endeavor meeting held
at the Georgetown branch OF the Central
Union Mission last Friday, Miss Wilson,
a blind speaker from the Methodist Home
made the address, using the text, LAS
Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilder
ness. even SO must the Son of Man be lift
ed up, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life. -
Miss Wilson Is excellent speaker. She
read the lesson from raised type.
The girls guild of the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church closed their winter S
work with a missionary tea at the manse,
1900 K street northwest, last Saturday
afternoon. Features of the afternoon were
good attendance, good music, good refresh
ments, good treasury and good time gen
orally.
Mr. Grant Leet, president Of the District
c. Z. Union, was present and made short
address at the second quarterly temper
ance meeting of Lincoln Memorial Con-
gregational Church Y. p. s. c. E. last
Sunday evening. Mr.. F. M. Bradley also
made an address, Miss Esther Turner read
a paper on the work of the w. c. T.. U. and
tWenty-one persons signed tne temperance
pledge.
Last Sunday evening Mrs. ]. w. Robin
son in speaking on the subject of Our
Bodies Gods Temples" at the meeting of
Faith Chapel Presbyterian Y. Z. s. Z. E.,
said that many young men failed TO pass
the physical examination to enter the army
owing to the effect of cigarette smoking
rot surprising condition of affairs.
Rev. c. H. Butler, president of the Junior

trated lecture the Yellowstone National
Park at Keller Memorial Lutheran Church
next Tuesday evening.
Little Elmer Cooper, who died last Mon
day and was buried Thursday, was chair
man of the sunshine committee OF the
Vernon Place NJ. E. Church South, and her
bright, happy little person will be sadly
missed by her associates in that society.
There will be a local union Christian En-
deavor convention at Manassas next Sat
urday, May %, holding three sessions.
A prominent Lutheran pastor, Rev. DR..
Heindel Albany, N. Y, has this to say of
the Y. p. s. c. e.: "In place of weaving
away, l think the Christian Endeavor
move has tendency to increase a mans
devotion for his native sor adopted faith;
and instead of the fgenfral mixed assem-
biies having a derogatoSy influence to the
cause of denominatfonal allegiance, think
that it has a most beneficial influence
The itinerary Of the trip of the local del
egation Of Christiah Endeavorers to the

of black goods about their heads. pinning
them fast on their backs. SO that the face
alone shows. The background adds to their
beauty, and the costume, on the whole. is
good one. 1t saves the buying Of new
hats and bonnets. and is easy to put on
or take off. Many seedy waist and frow-
sy head are I doubt not, hidden under
those black shawls, There is much powder
used and Lima has as many perfumery
shops as any city of it's size in the world.
Hoth men and women are fond of sweet
smells, and at carnival time they go about
with squirt guns and atomizers with which
they drench their fellows of the opposite
sex. The girls throw powder upon the
boys and men, and women dash water into
each others faces. Sometimes a crowd of
Lima bellies will catch hold of one of the
beaux and souse him in bath tub full of
water. l met yesterday young man. who
was suffering with fever on account of a
cold gotten from such ducking not long
ago.
They Go to Church.
The Lima women are very devout
Every other one we meet carries prayer
book and you can seldom enter a church
without finding a score or so on their knees.
No woman can go into a church wearing
a hat or a bonnet, and those who attempt
to do SO are touched with long stick by
the sexton and told to take their hats off.
One of the queer sights of Lima is church
congregation. The people, you know, are
all Catholics and the ceremonies are i'm
pressive, tho costumes of the priests being
respondent with gold and silver braid.
The men sit by themselves and the women
and girls all wearing these black clothes
on their heads make you think of Il con-
gregation of nuns who are dead to the
world At their own homes, however, they
are, 1 am told quite as much alive as their
sex anywhere. They are vivacious and
charming and able to hold their own in
their talk with the men. They are interest
ed in politics, and those of the better
classes are well educated. many of them
speaking French. They are very fond. of
music and many play on the piano, the
mandolin and the guitar exceedingly well
AS in all Spanish countries. girls are never
left alone with the men until they mar
ried and the courting is done with the whole
family looking on at the billing and cooing
At home they dress much like their
sisters of the rest of Christendom and
are as fond of gay clothes and the latest
styles as our own American girls The
womens rights women has, 1 am told, not
yet made her way here, though there is
movement toward giving women employ
ment in places which were formerly ex-
held by the men. There are, for in
stance, women clerks in the city post office

Lima on Horseback.

Lima on Horseback,
Lima on horseback is quite as interesting
as Lima foot. There are few private
carriages here, and l am told that there
is not a livery stable in the whole city. The
streets are paved with cobble stones and
the cabs jolt your bones, so that most
people prefer to ride in the street
cars or on horses. Ths horses here
nave the easiest gait of any 1 have ever
ridden. 1t is one peculiar to Chile and
Peru, sort of a cross between pace and
the action of housekeeping hackney
which carries the rider along with less jolt
ing than that of a rubber-tired carria ce
The horses are small, but very spirited
Inere comes one down the street now It's

would not be out of place in Hyde Park
were 1t not for the big silver spurs on both
OF his boots. Notice how magnificently the
horse is appareled. The bride is trimmed
with silver and the stirrups are plated
with the same shining white metal. He has
heavy saddle blanket of fur and the reins
have long braided strap attached to them
which he uses now and then as a whip
