some old proverbs. say "Selah" in
Brann's Iconoclast. 1t is high time
somebody translated them into twen-

an idea of how 1t will read, I have
written a new sermon. though I am
not a preacher, nor the son Of a
prophet. Here it is:
Woe unit the poor In spirit, for they
shall be crowded into the ditch and
spit upon.
Woe unto the meek, for they shall be
taken for hayseeds and for suckers, and
asked to buy gold bricks and bet on
shell games.
Blessed are they who do banker to
be humbugged. for they shall not han
ker long.
Blessed are the peacemakers, but
their occupation is a little tough on
the lawyers.

Agree with thine adversary quickly,
provided you are sure you cannot lick

Let your conversation be yea, yea.
more than these cometh through the

Whosoever shall smite thee on the
right cheek. paste him one the left for
luck, and make the smiter feel as II
he had been struck by a thunder-bolt.
And II any man will sue thee at the
law and take away thy cloak. give a
lawyer thy coat and vest to appeal to
the coat Of last resort.
And whatsoever shall compel thee to
go a mile, go with him to q lookup.
for he IL a policeman.
Give to him that asketh of thee. but
make him saw wood for his breakfast.
and of him that would borrow OF thee
take a judgment note and a cut throat

You have heard 1t said, thou shalt
love thy neighbor as thyself. but I
say unto you that you cannot do it.
Love your enemies If you can. Bless
them hat curse you-if you feel lik.,

Take heed that you do your aims be-
fore men, for then your name and do

Color and Moral Effect.

The color craze. which at first amounted
to the merest fad, has, like many such
fads, come to stay and has developed into
undreamed-of proportions. Color Is said

being, even our morals, more than we
Imagine, and we are advised to see to it
that our rooms and our clothing from
babyhood onward are such as to influence
us for good. We know by instinct. as
rule, which colors have pleasant effect
upon us, whether blue makes us cheerful
or orange leads to hilarity Grays and
browns nave, of course, a SOLDERING effect

none OF them. 1t is possible in these davs

but how about visiting those friends whose
color craze is the exact antithesis of our
own? We might feel gloomy when it was
our bounden duty TO exert ourselves to be
agreeable, or too cheerful in paving a visit

Aprons Again in Fashion.

This is one of the old useful fashions now
being revived, greatly to the saving of our
frocks and the comfort of wearers. The CO.
quettish apron has been set aside for
awhile, but is now once more asserting it
self. The strictly useful has always held
it's own. The French have turned a kindly
eye to them, and in the days of Louis XIII
women wore them and their bunch of keys,
showing that they were veritable house,
keepers. In the time of Louis XIV ladies
Of the court donned them when employed in
needlework and other arts. and Ii is from
that period We are restoring the airy Moth
ings of lace and muslin to our favor. Some
times they are of light colored crepe de
chine worked in gold. More useful ones of
thicker fabric have large pockets. These
are adorned with pretty ribbon bows, and
these ribbons sometimes draw up the pock-
ct. Sometimes strong linen aprons are laced
with ribbon at the edge by means % eyelet
holes.

No part of the debutantes get-up is more
charming than the cloak which Is to cover

Written for The Evening Star.
The rich old grandfather, the generous
bachelor uncle, the absorbed but willing
father who visits the up-to-date toy shop,
will become fairly bewildered by the gor
geous array of playthings spread before
him. He may indulge in few backward
glances-mentally, Of course-wherein his
boyhood's supply of toys will pass in puny
array before his vision, and from this men
tai condition he will, unless unusually
strong-minded, lapse into a second child
hood peculiar only 20 the holiday season.
He win want to remain all day and make
friends with these beautiful toys, but when
he has recovered his mental equilibrium,
ne must bring his logic to bear and fit his
selection to the small boy or girl whose
faith in Santa Claus is just beginning TO

The boy who would follow his father
as manager of a street car line can this
year have an electric road of his own with

which prevents one car being liberated

a certain point. Or If he prefers the re-
sponsibilty of a big railroad, his Santa
Claus can supply him with up-and-down

them from jumping the tracks. The up

sizes of tracks, all help a boy to have his

Duchess of Roxburghe's Turquoises.

The superb blue ornament worn by the
Duchess of Roxburghe. who was Miss Goe-
let of New York, in the evening is a piece
of jewelry with history. 1t is made of
turquoises, some of which are said to be
more beautiful than any others in England
The stones have been collected by the
duchess ever since she was child, and she
used to have hundred brooches, pendants
and earrings all studded with these gems
These various articles were broken up to
make the neck ornaments, and the few tur-
quoises which were added were the very
best to be obtained in Europe.
The duchess is an expert In the matter of

connosseur. Her turquoises not only match
In color, but are absolutely fiawless.

How to Take Care of children's Hair.

Mothers should teach their girls to care
Tor their hair as early as possible. If a
girl is coaxed into the habit of giving her
locks a hundred strokes with a clean brush
every morning and every evening and
braiding them loosely for bed, the founda-
ton for future beautiful head of hair will
be laid. Too many children are allowed to
go to bed with their hair in q tousled con-

hastily when schooltime comes round Such
a practice is disastrous to the nerves of
sensitive child and ruinous to the hair.
