"A LOST ART"
That Of Appreciation Of Christianity Dis.
cussed BY Rev. John R. Brown.

The singing by the Y. NJ G. A. quartet
made yesterdays meeting for men at the
Y. NJ. G. A. an attractive one. Matthew
XIV. was the chapter OF which a part
was read, and Mr.. A. G. Casey led I'm
prayer
There were two gospel selections rem
dened effectively by tho Y. NJ. G.. a.
quartet. Mr. Fisher. national secretary
OF the Y. NJ. G. A. I'm Japan. was named
as next Sundays speaker
Mr.. Browns address was In part some
what as follows.
You may be somewhat nnys,ifed by the
topic this afternoon, "A Lost Art OF
Christianity" To most minds the word
art would suggest artificial. but art
means Insight and skill
The lost art that | have selected to
speak of is tho art of appreciation, plac-
ing the proper value on anything. The
hardest things In life for which to nnd
value are the spiritual. How shall I
put a proper value on the great crises OF
my soul that spell out my salvation?
Christianity was born into the world
TO give every man the exact value OF
himself; the sense OF what he is. Chris
tianity ought 10 make YOU 10 under
stand what you nre from the glory OF
what you may be. l would nave every
man look at his capacities. 60 down into
his heart and find OF what IL is capable.
Gentlemen look down into your souls
and see n there is not capacity not
yet hlled.
Christianity came into the world 20
enable us 10 understand our fellows. The
art OF appreciation is 10 show man
what he can do: TO touch the inner re-
cesses OF the spirit and make IL respond.
Christianity was born into the world to
give men appreciation OF all that was
i'm the world. It's a glorious world and
the sooner We see II with the eyes Of
Christ the better IL will be for US. Chris
tianity was born 20 make II better and
lift II up 10 the best.
Christianity has made sharp distinc-
tions between the temporal and the
eternal; that life and Immortality can
never be separated while the world
stands DO you forget that there IL a
life that Is 20 come? want you TO enter
into an appreciation OF the matter. that
you may see Il as Christ saw IL. IL IL an
appreciation OF the life that r. TO come
that consecrates the life that now is.
Christianity may be a lost art 10 you,
and this message is for you-your under
standing and salvation.

our Masters cause. evokes in England
something more than our mere sym

and definite prayers.

The News of Society.

California is especially interesting when the discovery is made that the character Is Joaquin Miller. "the poet of the Sier- ras" His appearance, manner and meth cd of life are described with a charm im- pressonistic and delightful.
 It Is an actual experience, poetlcally rendered and 1t is this portion of the book that has given some clue to the indentity of the author who is none other than Tone Noguchi, the brilliant Japanese poet who has already by his other work won so high a place in the literary field of England and America as well as his own Japan.
 The woman temperament in the story is marvelously sustained throughout, however, being an utterly frank, some times perhaps ''too frank" an exposition of the complex feminine nature, winning, mischievous and alluring. Morning Glory's story Is briefly told. A Japanese girl of high caste, and educated as many of the modern daughters of Nippon are. visits America with her uncle. The Diary simply chronicles the daily happenings impressions, reflections, little romances and adventures that take place during her visit Many shrewd observations and comments on American customs and Am erican men and women are made.

 In honor of the great occasion, the formal opening of the exchange in it's new quarters, an elaborate menu will be served
 The cafe feature is, however by no means the raison d'etre of the Woman's Exchange. It exists to afford a market near at home for the handiwork of gen. tie women--to supply them with congen- ial work, and in many cases a liveli- hood. In it's mission 1t has succeeded so well as to make It's purpose now well understood and no other institution is &C., complaining as much good in a particular way as t,e exchange. It Is this point that has been repeatedly emphasized by Miss Janette Waters, the manager of the exchange. She has always desired to keep this part of the work constantly be- fore the public and has endeavored to en- large this department, until now the con signors include not only women in Bir- mingham, but foreign consignors. There are now one hundred and twnty-five con- signors and the last report of the board showed that they had received more than thirty-six hundred dollars.
 The present officers of the exchange are:
 Mrs. 8. 10. Thompson, president; Mrs David Roberts, vice president; Mrs. Thomas D. Parke, treasurer; Mrs. H. K White, secretary.

MISS AMELIA BINGHAM, THE
 ACTRESS, GUEST OF HONOR

Miss Amelia Bingham, who appeared in 'The Climbers" at the Jefferson the atre on Wednesday evening, was the guest of honor at an informal supper at the Hillman after the performance. In one of the boxes thac evening were MT. and Mrs. William H. Kettig, Mrs. Ship man, Miss Moody and MT. W. A. Moody, and at the supper at which MT. and Mrs Kettig entertained the party had the pleasure of meeting Miss Bingham. She was quite distinguished looking in tailor gown of white linen, and appeared younger and even prettier off the stage. She told the cleverest stories and while so bright and interesting to meet socially it Is Miss Blngham's devotion to her art, her artistic nature and her fine intelli- gence in defining all that Is best in dramatic art that makes her so delightful to know personally. As the well known dramatic interviewer, Marie B. Schrader, of the Washington Post, recently said of Miss Bingham:
 Tt seems that had the casual theatre goer never attended one of Miss Bing- hams performances the very pictures of her would suggest a tone, color for the

 She rings in a new note. She is quite different from her sisters, Madame Chry- santheme and Madame Butterfiy-those somewhat perverted types so commonly accepted. She is the twentieth century girl, and she Is very clever. Like many of her brothers, Morning Glory is subtle, wise, evanescent and gifted with an ex- traordinary sense of humor. She laughs in her sleeve on every other page, healthy, adrot little laughter. She is touched, not blighted with satire. She is bright md dancing with life, and the love of life, charm of the enthusiast and the poet. Tho entire book is like a whirl of color, lightning quick epigrams, sound Eense and delicious nonsense.

 Miss Bingham is well able to give ex- pression to her ambitious impulses for she Is wealthy. Her home in New York is a valuable piece of property and the interior is furnished luxuriously. Some of the furnishings belonged to a famous king of France and were bought by Miss Bingham while abroad. Her boudoir seems like a fairy land and every step reveals unexpected objects of beauty and interest.
 Although surrounded by such a royal atmosphere, Amelia Bingham Is as un- spoiled as a child. She enjoys her home, her blooded horses, her gowns and her jewels. but it Is her work after all that she most loves

EATING AND LATE HOURS. Mr. Bowron in His Address to PoockS Stephens Girls Argues

dressed to only about 200 girls. what he said in regard to Americans eating rub bish and specially irregular eating may be applied generally. Just as people are returning nome after weeks spent in re- cuperating Is a good time to let the good work go on and to study, as no doubt they have been doing under some spe- cialist away from Birmingham what suits them individually. Probably for a few weeks in the hot summer months they have been able to eat their meals regu- larly and without being interrupted by the telephone or an unexpected visitor, and they have returned with not only improved digestions but improved tenn pers. With the season" beginning in town, the irregular life starts and before one is aware of it the breakfast is later than usual because of a late dinner or the theatre the evening before, and al- ready the small informal gatherings of the afternoon with things to eat' de- stroy the appetite for a good, wholesome dinner
 A little later on when the clubs start these afternoon repasts served about 5 o'clock are as elaborate as a luncheon, and no woman can do justice to the de- lieious menu served on these occasions and be able to eat her family dinner an hour later.
 Late hours are also part of our social system. To be late means to be fashion able. Few formal dinners begin before 9 and at the evening receptions guests seldom arrive before 10 or II. Iostesses complain and the men declare they would welcome a change. But late hours and irregular eating go on like the brook It is quite impossible to effect a change for no one will take the initiative. Be- sides the day has past when one woman or a "clique" is able to set the fashion in anything. No one can say who sets the social standard. There are too many social "cliques," and no "set" will be regulated by another. But in this com plex social life, there should be left us that quality of independence that is able to withstand the exacting demands of shall say autocrat-Fashion. La Viela!

Americans eat more rubbish than my other nation in the world" said MT. Bowron in the course of an address to Polloek-stephens girls the first of the week.
 Tt is this indifference to proper foods that causes all the indigestion and bad temper. The most important thing for girl to study is how to improve her con stitution. She cannot expect to feel strong or to look well if she eats indi- gestible things and exists on ice cream soda. Many girls ruin their digestion in eating and they do not realize that their bad complexions are due to badly nour- ished systems. When they have faces full of pimples they attempt to cover them up with powder. They should be taught that pimples come from the rubbish that many of them eat, and also from their irregular habits of eating.
 "A school girls habits should mean regular hours for eating. Nothing is more important more conducive to health than regular eating. It will put the bloom on the cheek, bring brightness to the eye, and elasticity to the step.
 The trouble lies very much in the fact that Americans as a class neither eat regularly nor do they study what Is best for their digestion.
 When l was boy ate bread and milk for breakfast and bread and milk Tor supper l went to bed at o'clock and arose at 6, and am willing to match my strength against any man of my age. l think l could put him over the fence
 What a school girl needs Is a regular hour for retiring. When you see young girl with deep circles under her eyes 1t Indicates that she needs sleep. She must have It if she wants to preserve her health and her looks. Girls in boarding schools have these things regulated. Girls who live at home can regulate these things for themselves"

WOMAN'S EXCHANGE SAYS
 FAREWELL TO OLD QUARTER

The last luncheon was served yester- day in the old quarters on First avenue so long occupied by the Womans Ex- change. The habitues of the little cafe gathered about the spotless tables and took a farewell look at things. A great many stories have been written of the people who frequent the exchange during the luncheon hour, and there Is a great deal of interesting data that could be gathered about the "old days''-much for reminiscent minds to recall. A little his- tory of the work of the exchange, the part 1t has played for many years in the city's life, could be written. Some one appreciative of It all and familiar with its life should tell the story
