well as in supplying force.
Graham bread, which retains the

GIFTS FOR THE
EASTER BRIDE

The newest thing in gifts for the
Easter bride is the bridal set. This
consists Of a corset bag, corset bow
hose supporters. and a pair Of ribbon
bands to hold the dainties lingerie. All
are made to match Of some delicate
coIored ribbon. or Of pure white ribbon.
The corset bag is an Indispensable ad-

The corset bag Of one bridal set was
about ! by 16 inches. and Of pure white
satin ribbon. FOrget-me-nots were en-
which was finished at the top with the
frayed ribbon. Narrow white satin
ribbons were run through the beg two
inches from the top for draw strings.
The bag was lined with pale blue India
SILK, and sachet powder was SDrinklcu
in the folds Of the lining
The corset bow which went with this
set was also OF blue satin ribbon, Dut
instead OF the old, conventional oblong
pad, with a bow in the center, IL was
made In new way. IT was about ~
by 10 inches and of white satin rib

broidered on this pad. Instead or q

The hose supporters were OF white
satin ribbon and white silk elastic, and
had gold clasps. on which forget-mc-

Heroes and, Geography.

In a recent sermon deliver
ed In his New York pulpit DR.,
Newell Dwight Hills attract
ed a good deal of attention
by the following declarations:
1.-The meE of the west are
the true moulders Of the ma
tons destiny.
1T Is the west that has fur
nishpd the heroes OF the last
two or three generations.
"The men who will make
themselves known forty
!, ears hense are husking corn
in Nebraska.
IL do not mean that New
York has no influence, but
we in urself-sufiiciency have
come to over emphasize our
selves"
We believe DR.. Hills came
from as far west as Chicago.
He may haue had himself in
mind when he referred to the
VESTS monopoly in heroes,
for is he not the original and
only author OF the heroic dec
laration that he would feel
honored to be permitted to
net IN the capacity of cham
bermaid to Booker Washing
ton?
But seriously, is not the
eminent New York divine a
bit mixed in, the geographi
cal location of his heroes?
We seem to recall a few he
roes from the Sonth in t h G
last two or three generations.
Indeed, if,heroism ls M a d 6
classical by history, wethink
we can count a ratio OF 1910
II in favor of couthern heroes
as numerically measured 6
gainst the western brand.
Perhaps DR.. Hills has hi'
sense OF hero worship unduly
|inffamed still Az the result o
the western Rough Riders VI

cord some heroic exploit o
this equestrian aggregation
but right now we must b.
pardoned If we do not recall

three other southern Spar
