Cheap finery only betrays poverty

most unsympathetically. and not only
proclaims Ignorance of good taste, but
also lays girl open to misconceptiOn

least worthy of her sex. We are not
all amenable to suggestions for our
good; and, when our desire clash with
our sense of oughtness." it depends
upon the quality of our makeup which
shall prevail. Another evidence OF
gentle breeding is well-modulated

said: Shut me up in dark room with
a mixed multitude, and | can pick out
the gentlefolks by their voices"

Dr. A. c. Millar, former presi- dent of Hendrix College, Con- way, has been appointed by Bishop Key to the pastorate of the First M. E. church, South, at Pine Bluff, made vacant by the death of Rev. J. M. Hawley last week.
 The news of the return of Dr. Millar of Arkansas, will be re- ceived with great pleasure in Arkansas, where he is now extensively and favorably known. As president of Hen drix College for fifteen years, a host of the successful business men of the state received their training under his direction, and he had visited every county in the state in working for the in- terests of the institution.
 He resigned as president of Hendrix in February, 1902, to accept the presidency of Central College at Fayette, Mo-, where he has made an enviable record as an educator. He has now de- cided to leave the schoolroom and re-enter the active ministry.
