was trimmed with ermine, muff of the
same fur was carried, and white gloves
and few choice pearls completed the pic
ture.
Can you picture the quiet elegance Of
this gown-pale gray cloth. trimmed with
MORE velvet in the same shade, with gar
niture for the bodice of white tuile caught
with silver tasseis? With this was worn
squirrel and ermine furs. and a hat made
of silver lace and duchessa point. The
latter lace also employed in the bodice.
Still another frock which was much ad-
mred was In ecru lace, jetted slightly with
black, and with this was worn a black vel
vet toque finished with an iride scent

Timorous Brooklyn Men |.

PittsGurg Gazette.
 An innocent news item in the papers yesterday contained a statement that is not without unhappy significance so far as mans long -boasted superiority over the weaker sex Is concerned. In a street-car accident In Brooklyn, caused by panic following the blowing out of fuse, the women of the car maintained an attitude of heroic coolness and calm while the men in wild consternation made a break for the car door, with the result that several of them were seriously injured by beinS trampled on. AS if to rub the lesson in deep. the news item declared that the women of the party immediate ly turned their attention to miniStsring to the wants of the wounded. while the men who were not hurt scampersa sfr. The eneroachments of women upon the long considered exclusion preserves Of the men is no new theme. and mas It's Illus tratons in a thousand modern ways that need not here be recapitulated. but 1t has never been believed that IT, the matter of physical courage and calmness in the hour of panic and peril that man would lose to the quieter sex the proud pre-emi- hence he has always held. This Brooklyn incident would seem to indicate other wise.

NO HATS IN CHURCH
Women Comply With Pastors Re-
 quest to Remove Them.

Worcester. CMass.) Special.
 The women of the Old South Congrega- tional Church have set the fashion of removing their hats while in church. In response to the request made at the ser vices last Sunday by the pastor, the Rev. Francis J. Van Horn, a large majority of the women in his congregation re- moved their headgear at both services yesterday.
 Many of the women went to the morn- ing service bareheaded and others remov- ed their hats on entering the church, leaving them in the parlors. The ma jority. however. wore them into the pews and removed them just before the service was begun.
 It was noticed that nearly every wo- man who belongs to Old South removed her hat, those who retained them being strangers.
 Mir. Van Horn made no comment at the morning service. but in the evening ne complimented the women on the way they had complied with his request. He said he had been told that there is not an- other church in the country where the re- sponse would ne so general.
 Tt is not necessary" said MT. Van Horn, ito take off every hat. The wo- men themselves can tell whether their

hats are the kind that should he ren,ov- ed, whether or not they are the unp1eas- ant adornments that man cannot see over. See
 A man came to me about a month ago after the service and said he wanted 10 swear, I asked him if it were at inc sermon. and he explained that he had been sitting behind one of those crea- t,ons think that is what you call 'neml that make men think things"
 In reply to letter written to one of th. newspapers by a woman who said cha would go to another church if she had to remove her hat in Old South, MT. Van Horn said she might go. but she should remember that there would be men there as well as at Old South who could not see through her hat.

THE BIBLE
BOOK WITH LARGEST CIRCULA.
 TON IN THE WORLD.
London Ships Seven Thousand Vol. umss Every Day-Printed in
 Two Hundred Languages.

London Mail
 Of all the books that season by season are poured out from the teemings presses of the world to feed the voracious appe- tite of the reading public, about one out Of three survives a three years term of life. Of all the books that have ever created a record boom few have reach- ed sale beyond 500,000 copies, and that is enough to make any publisher gasp with kind of unholy joy as of poor man who suddenly finds himself fin the presence of a gold mine.
 Yet there is one book whose sales are recorded in figures which are almost greater than the average human mind can grasp without a mental dizziness, which has circulated not by the ordinary thirteen to the dozen, not by hundreds, not by thousands. not by millions, but by hundreds of millions, a book so popu- lar that it is read in the palace, in the manor. in the villa, in the cottage in the hovel. in the prison: book so fas- cinating that men have given their lives as the price of a single copy, and are giving their lives to sell copies to others who have not yet read 1t.
 It is book of no local interest but it so stirs the heart, whether 1t beats be- meath a white or black or yellow skin, that it has been transalted, not only into every European language, not only into the chief family of languages spoken by the great races of the East and West, but into strange barbaric tongues which have never before been crystallized into written shape, into dialects spoken in the bush and in the jungle, in the torrid zone, and in the Arctic regions.

Still Belling.

All over the world the Society has it's agents. it's coiporters. its Bible women. They are not missionaries in the ordinary sense of the word they are forbidden to preach or teach any creed of any de- nomination. Their duty is to sell the Scriptures, and in this faith they wander to the ptterWost parts of the earth with their little book. Among the Arabs of Morocco, along the valley of the Tigris. and in the footsteps of St. Paul. along the highland borders of Tibet. over the Russian Steppes, through Siberian snows. among the lumber camps of Ottawa. among the Australian abOrigines, in the heart of darkest Africa. among the peo- pie of every race of mankind. the agents of the Bible Society find their way and sell their books.
 It is hard work and martyrdom is some times the end of it. But though they may be scorned, beaten. tortured. frozen. starved, killed the sacred little book is sold, and keeps on selling. one copy being like a grain Of mustard seed. so that where one has been thousands fol- low.

 According to superstitution that is the ideal hour, day and season for a girl to change her name.
 To insure good luck she should weep A little on her wedding day, even if she has no cause to be sad
 NO matter how full and plenty of ey- erything she may have. 1t is absolutely necessary that she should borrow some- thing to wear.
 Necessary, too, that she should wear something blue," if only a blue garter.
 She must also wear the bridegroon's a gift.
 She should not see the bridegroom that day until she sees him at the altar.
 Upon no account must she drop her handkerchief on her wedding day, and if she does the bridegroom must not be permitted to pick it up
 Nor must she tie her shoe in the car riage on her wedding day
 If she desires to be happy and healthy she must put her right foot first out of the church door.
 She should not leave the church by an- other door than that through which she entered, unless she wants the direst kind of bad luck. II
 She ssouid hurry to call her husband by his first name before any one else has chance to do so after the ceremony.
 She must, of course, cut the bride cake first and serve the first glass of wine
 She should see that few pins are nec- essary to hold her toilette together, for it is proper that she should lose or throw them all away immediately after the wedding feast.
 Let her get somebody to throw the old shoe. even if the traditional shower of rice Is tabooed. The bride who can manage to observe all these precautions has her happiness and prosperity assured-at least, so say the superstitious.

stnrks as Massangers

A German nobleman of experimental turn of mind. curious as to the migratory habits of the storks. which return each spring to his park, caught one last au- tumn and affixed to it's neck a silver plate on which were engraved the words. This stork comes from Germany" The bird has just returned to his summer haunts' still wearing the silver neckpiece' on which had been engraved beneath the original inscription the words: India returns him with a gift to his German owner. Attached to the collar was a small parcel wrapped in waterproof con taining a ring of unmistakable Indian workmanship. When the bird fli2s south this autumn he will be the bearer of a message of inquiry as to the Identity of the donor of the ring.
