A successful business man before en-

his ministry a strong practical Judg-

The character of the interest in these
meetings may be indicated by the meet
ing Thursday evening. Though the in
vitation was made to this gathering as
a meeting for Christian workers, the
large auditorium of Trinity church was
filled. At the close of the service, Or.
Henderson invited those to remain who

workers, some 400 remain for the con-

tive and personal Christian work.

The remaining services will be of a
more popular character and for those
of the coming week being extended to
all. Probably the character of the COM
ing services will be more directly evan
gelistic. The services during the week
will be held at the First Methodist
church, and will continue as union SER
vices of all the churches, DR.. Hender-
son being present. On Wednesday even
ing DIR. David G. Downey of st. Johns
church, Brooklyn, will speak The SER
vices all begin at 7:3O. These services
are not denominational in their purpose
and character, aside from the fact that
the responsibility of their arrangement
has been taken by the Methodist pas
tors of the city. All Christians are
heartily invited and are asked to ex-
tend the invitation especially to friends
who may not be confessed followers of
Christ or members OF his church.
1T should be added that all the service
of labor given in connection with these
meetings is given without any compen-

TUcKs POPULAR TRIMMING.
silk and Chiffon Roses are Used for
Garniture.

silk and Chiffon Roses are Used for
Garniture.
No form Of dress trimming is more
popular than tucks. Skirts of yelling
and other lightweight materials have
three or more bias folds stitched on
above the hem at intervals matching
the width of the folds. They have the
effect of wide tucks, and the hem, be-
ing of the same width, appears to be an
additional tuck. Some skirts of light
material are tucked from waist to hem.
One such was seen in recent play.
It was made of white dotted net, and
had a deed, shaped flounce, tucked like
the upper part of the skirt. Through
each of the tucks was run a pink rib
bon. A band Of wide lace headed the
f1ounce, and trailing spray of blue
and. white morning glories was attached
to the skirt in front. The lace waist
was cut low, and was trimmed with
three little ruff1es edged with pink rib
bon and a spray Of morning glories.
A white liberty gauze waist has
sleeves tucked in wide horizontal tucks
from the shoulder to below the elbow
The sleeve gradually wides from the top
and is quite volunlinous where the
tucks cease. The loose material is gath
cred in band at the wrist. The waist
is not tucked, but is laid in several wide
box plaits in the front. A pointed coll
lar of yellow lace falls low over the
front and back of the waist.
A brown eolinene walking gown had a
full skirt with four graduated tucks at
tached to the skirt with faggoting, a
line of the faggoting heading the wide
hem. The skirt was shirred In two
groups one about six inches below the
belt, and the other about the same
distance above the first tuck The waist
had collar and pointed yoke of fag-
goting and two groups of shirring to
match the skirt.
The flandsomest gowns are hand
made. or, at least, so covered with hand
work as to give the impression of hav-
ing been literally built up with needle
work. A brown crepe costume of great
beauty is made on the simplest lines,
skirt and waist being very slightly shir-
red for fullness, and the waist, sleeves
and collar being touched with little
gold and pale blue Persian trimming.
The entire gown is covered with a de-
sign of roses made of the material of
the dress. the leaves as dark as the
gown, the roses rather lighter, wood
brown, in fact. Stems and veins of the
leaves are of chenille. The sleeves OF
this gown depart from the prevailingd
moee, and are wide at the top, falling
loosely to the elbow, where they are fin
ished with three hand-run tucks. From
the elbow down the sleeves are tight
| fitting. A folded belt of brown velvet
marks the waist linen eW- York Post.

Hardware company who for the past
two years have been located at SCI
Chapel street It is the intention of
the Bassett company to offer prospec-
tive purchasers of anything in the hard

rated at SCI Chapel street, the quarters

by Mr.. Mallettl The opportunity is an
exceptional one for those desiring choice
bargains in the hardware lire.
| The sale will be clearance one. as
no stock will be reserved: everything
mus. be sold out. The reason for the
sale of the stock to the John e. Bas-
set. company is that Mr.. Mallett de-
sires to retire from business. and Mr..
Basset. secured the entire stock at
low figure. fs
A force Of clerks will be in readiness
this morning to display the array of fine
hardware at figures that will speak
Cor themselves. A cut has been made
in the price OF every article and be-
sides the saving in price the buyer Sc
cures a most modern hardware appli-
ance which has been on the market but
for two years.
The fact that such a reliable firm as
Bassett & Co. have taken charge of
such a clearance sale is sufficient guar
antee that the material offered is of the
best and the chance to secure bargains
a most exceptional one. Sale starts this
morning promptly and will continue for

Hyperion Theaser.

A distinctly high grade performance
is promised US at the Hyperion ON Mon
day night, November 2, when 1.-THE
Moching Bird with Madeline Besley in
the principal role is to be presented by
Brady Greer. 1t is a romantic comic
opera, far superior in every way to the
so-called comic opera that we have had
during the last few years, and when to
this Is added good interpretations by
performers who can both sing and act,
intelligent stage management, the best
of scenic setting, correct as to date, one
can look forward to about as fine an
evenings entertainment as could be
wished for. The story is by Sydney
Resented and is well told, the lines are
witty and the music, which is by A..
Baldwin Sloane, is also of high order
of excellence, while the execution of
both principal and chorus is very pleas
ing To name the taking numbers
would be to start at the beginning and
go to the end. According to reports, the
designer of the costumes must be a
genius, while the scenery is most elab-
crate. Miss Besley is supported by Ed
gar Atchison- Ely, and a most capable
company of artists and singers, and the
chorus is composed Of young, pretty
and vivacious girls, who possess sweet
and cultivated voices. n

Music-lovers, long wearied and sur
feited with rag-time airs and banal
melodies supposed to illuminate the re-
cent flood of musical comedy scores,
will be interested in hearing that con-
certed numbers for male voices will be
given special prominence in 'Winsome
Winnie" In which Miss Paula Edwardes
will appear as a star at the Hyperion
on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, No
yen1ber and 4.
The second act of the play is laid in
deserted monastery, the haunt of the
brigand band, and here, in the mellow
est Of moonlight, the male voices will
be heard to unusual advantage. The
opening brigand chorus of "Hola," is
followed by "Oh, Maiden" sung by a
double male octette, and this in turn by
solo sung by J. G. Miron, 1.-THE Maid
and the Miller, in which the double
male octette will have exceptional OPP
portunities in the chorus
All three of these numbers have been
written by Gustave Kerker, who has
drawn upon his wealth of musical lore
cleaned among German students and
maennerchors for their inspiration.
They will be interpreted by an especial
iy selected doubte octette of singers,
whose salaries in several instances will
equal those drawn by men who are
playing important roles in the same
production.
