broad sstiny bands of color, make
quaint wall covering for upper story
rooms-and sometimes for dining rooms
or halls.
This same little one is so strictly log
ical, that it is no use trying to impose
unreasonable ideas upon her. One day
as she was walking with her grand
mother, they passed another little girl
who was undou btedly very homely.
The little one pulled her grandmother's
skirts and whispered,
"Grandmother, wasn't that an ugly
little girl.''
The grandmother thought she saw
opportunity to indulge in little
moralizing that should teach her
any possible vanity over her pretty
face, so she said,
"All good little girls are pretty"
"Well," said the logical young hope
full, ''Then this one must be very
wicked little girl for she is certainly
very ugly"
A recent book on etiquette and the
proper schooling for girls says that
plishments" as they used to be.
1t has not been very long since girl
was expected to pa ut a little, play q
little, embroider little and to do q
little of many arts aud in some ways it
was not bad idea after all. Fashionable
mammas nowadays, however, chose that
their dsug ters should only be trained
in music long enough to see whether
or no they have special aptitude for it.
II no, then music is dropped. Drawing
is treated In the same way. Nowadays
q girl needs to know how to waltz and
to play tennis and golf, and to ride
well and French is as necessary to her
as gloves. So says one who has
studied the education of fashionable
misses.
The Advance estimates the direct
and collateral cost of a certain church
carpet as being 7about five times its
original price. The explanation is:
The price was $500, but as the women
of the church raised the money by Civ
ing entertainments the PASTORS esti-
mate was that when all the items cf
cost were figured in the carpet had cost
fully a 600. He reached this sstopish-
ing total by estims ting the work, wor-
ry, nervous strain, bodily WEAKNESS and
heartaches of one hundred women; the
heroic efforts of men, women and
children to eat the things WI ich were
to be eaten, and hear, see or buy things
which had been provided to extract
money from them; and the curtailment
of the legitimate giving which follows
in the train of such methods of raising
money.

her delight at receiving a birthday

The tale is told of another little girl
to whom there was given q careful ex-
planation of God and something of the
story of Christ. She seemed to under
stand and evidently was turning the
idea over in her baby thong
being four years and beginning to brag
of the coming of her fifth Summer.
One day, some time after she had
been tol6 of God and Christ, she was
looking at holy picture and asked
who the central figure wac.
THAT is Christ" she was told.
SO, thought he was a horse" said
the little one, greatly disappointed that
the Divine One was as other men. To
her baby mind horse was the great,
all-beautiful all-powerful idea and
when Christ's attributes were de-
scribed to her she Immediately fix d
upon horse as the proper shape for
divinity to assume.
