Most attractive are the spring COS
tunes that are now being turned out
by the gross-so attractive. in fact,
thar few women will be able to resist
the aemptation to buy more than one.
To begin with. there are SO many diff
ferent styles. each and all appropriate
to SO many different occasions that it
will be extremely hard to refrain
from buying gown for each and
every occasion. OF course, first on the
list Amust come the coat and skirt

sions. These gowns are made in sew

city In them being the skirts. There
are several models of skirts. most of
which are attractive; some. however.
too exaggerated. There Ia one style
made. as It were. in a half circular
thatsis, with circular sides and a seam
down the center of the back, but with
absolutely no fullness until very near
ly at the foot Of the skirt. However,
the seam down the center of the back
seems to relieve somewhat the very
plain look that is given by the circu-
lar skirt that has no fullness and no
break in the material. These skirts
fasten at the left side. sometimes with
an Aeyisible fastening under nap or
fold Of cloth. Others fasten under
piece Of braid or straps of the cloth.
Then, again. there are skirts made on
this same plan that have the perfect
ly plain effect. but are relieved by lit
tie cords Of trimming.

WHY DID YOU WHIP ME?

The venerable r. L. Dabney, D. D.,
is well known in this country and
abroad. Upward of twenty we ars ago,
his youngest son Lewis, was a sharp
witted lad who promised to become a
respected ''chip of the old block"
The lad was whipped one day for
an act of disobedience, and then had
to undergo the more trying ordeal of
sitting quietly on the sofa. He be-
came deeply absorbed in thought and
presently asked:
''Ma, why did you whip me?"
$50 as to make you better boy"
was the response.
Lewis became again lost in thought
full reflection. Presently he blurted
out:
''Ma, do you believe in prayer"
eyes, my son."
eff you were to ask God to make
me a better boy, do you think he
would grant your prayer"
81 think he would, son."
"Well, then, ma, I wish you would
pray little more and whip a little
less.n

OUR cHILDREN'S A ssoCIArEs.

One of mothers most difficult les
sons is that she cannot keep her child
rem under a glass case. Association
with other children is inevitable; so
are the good and evil thus learned.
1t is hard for her when Willie's vo-
cabulary is enlarged by bad words
which must be patiently untaught
him; when next to the youngest
comes sobbing home because a play
mate has insinuated that mamma
doesn't love him now; she has an
other baby" when struggle is fore
shadowed by Nellie's giggling an
nouncement that one of the neigh
boris boys is her ''young man." when
family law is defied because the
neighbours children do or do not have
to do thus and so.
All this, and more, must be endured
by the wise mother who realizes that
her encompassing love can no more
provide that they shall come out of
daily contact with other children
totally unframed than that they shall
pass through all life without scars on
body, mind, or soul.
All she can do is to fortify them as
best she can, and send them out into
the world to take the risk of the pos
sible ill for the sake of the indispen-
sable benefit.

Sisters let us up and doing
For the day is passing by,
Souls are rushing on to ruin,
Tolthe rescue let us fly.
See.the child of sin and sorrow,
Alas, heritage like his
Is there for him no bright tomorrow,
No rescue from a life like this?
Go plant..within the heart of parents
With prayer, the seeds of love;
Such planting has warrant
From our great Advocate above.
Go to the. life bIoated with sin,
With all the Gospel armor on,
To the besotted. dark within,
With God the victory is won.
Where wrong and ignorance darkens,
Go, and dispel thesgloom.
To the still, small voice, hearken,
Twill guide us, precious boon
Self distrustful, God reliant,
Go work whene'er where'er we may
Though powers of darkness are defiant
God turns the darkness into day.
Let us then the goal pursuing,
In the dear Masters steps, go on,
Childhood and youth to virtue Turing.
Work with will, till life is done.
