food eaten is only partially extracted and
iuperfectly assirnilated The blood be-
comes impure; the very fount of life IS
poisoned, and some day all the faculties

The Spring Jacket.

The question of the spring jacket is
one most perplexing to the majority of
women: What to get that can be worn
with all costumes is hard to decide. Yet
the average woman wants one jacket
that she can wear with her walking
skirt. cloth gowns, or take on Il little
outing trip on summer days when it is
feared the weather may become chilly
before returning. With many, ittI=
black jacket answers these purposes.
But some there are to whom black is
unbecoming and Objectionable. For
these the tan coat is most acceptable
substitute. 1t can be worn with almost
all colors and costumes without any in.
harmonious results. It always seems
''ft,' and is an almost Indispensable ad-
junct to the wardrobe.
These short, jaunty little coats are al.
ready being shown at tailoring estab.
lishments and in the shops. From pres
ent indications considerable latitude will
be allowed as to their style. They may
be stitched or not, single or double
breasted. buttoning under fly or Wis.,
bly,. strapped or unstrapped Two things
only are absolutely ordained-they must
be short and tight.
Box coats and raglans have in these
little following. They are at last to he
relegated to their proper places.-Phila-

one ball next winter. This is a sure in
dication that the assemblies. the last OF
the fashionable subscription balls of New
York society, will soon go the way of
their predecessors, the +. c. u. C.'s, the
Junior Patriarchs and the Patriarchs.
When the last and venerable organiza-
ton ceased to exist it was predicted in
public and private that the assemblies
would not long survive. This prediction
was met with denials by the women most
| interested and most active in the man
agement of the balls. This was three
or four years, age, and the assemblies
seemed to Justify the annoyance of their
managers at the predictions of failure by
taking on new lease of life.
Close observers, however, noticed that
while the first Of the two balls of the
winter were crowded and successful and
gave an opportunity for mothers to bring
out their daughters at the one place
nf
clety met on a common floor, the second
ball was far less crowded and far less
successful. This year these conditions
were more marked than ever, and so the
announcement that hereafter there will
be only one assembly ball is to many not
a surprise.

When the rew y-wedded pair entered

size of the crowd and the heartiness with
which it greeted them. AS they drove I'D
teh avenue he noticed how the people
stopped and stared after them and when
they finally drew up before the Holland
house he was amazed to see what an

receive them. Then great light

walked around the carriage, and then
solemnly led the little procession up the

Rev. J. B. Culpepper spoke at the Wal
nut Street Methodist church last night on
the subject of the Holy Ghost. He en-
phasized the possibility of grieving the
Holy Spirit beyond recall. In illustrate
ing this phase of the sermon he told the
following story:
"A brother minister of mine was once
preaching in little town in Mississippi
The little church was built on hill and
around clustered the homes of the church
members. Down i'll the valley lived the
goddess population. They were outspoken
in their hostility to the work and at
night, while the services We're going Oh,
would drink beer, dance and sing in the
valley below. Finally, one night, led by
a liquor man. they formed in a body
dragging an old cannon behind them and
marched to vacant spot just below the
church. They sang ribald songs, danced
and drank. Their wickedness eliminated
in the liquor man declaring himself Jesus
Christ, appointing twelve of those with
him as his apostles and commissioning
them to go into all the world and preach
his gospel to every creature. Then he
administered the communion.
AT the end Of this orgy they fired the
old cannon. 1t burst and killed Jesus
Christ and eleven Of his disciples"
This story was greeted by hush over
all the congregation. Then Rev. DR..
Lloyd, the pastor, said: "Brother. that

up the following laurels Of the chase:
