The Well.preased Woman

No woman feels more miserable
than one who is conscious of being
dressed badly or unsuitably. And
it takes some little time, fore
thought and brains to avoid this
dilemma.
If women would take half as
much time in putting a thing on
as they do in choosing it, it would
be time well expended.
But who does not know the
woman we'll who has handsome
things. but looks as if they had
been put on her with a pitohfork?
A really well-dressed woman is
one who dresses according to her
position, age and pocketbook.
Especially should the working
woman bear this in mind. She
should avoid all "fal ials," fads and
--latest" styles. which only last a
moment.
She should always have neat
shoes and gloves. see that her
neckwear is irreproaohable and es-
chew baby ribbons and transparent
shirtwaists if she works in an
office.
Save all the pretty feminine
things for evenings and holidays,
aud then be as fluffy" as you like.
But for working hours rely more
on suitability and plainness and
absolute neatness of your attire.
Wear blouse suits. The separate
white waist is not economy.
Don't let your skirts sag at the
back or hike" (who manufactured
that expression?) upin front.
Do see that your belt is in place
ard kept there by belt pins; also,
that no safety pins are in eyi-
dence.
Don't wear shoes that are run
down at heel or mieshapen Don't
your skirts be lcng enough to fray
at the edges. and do remember
that "a stitch in time saves nine"

Some remarkable features should
be noted in connection with these

credit is due Bro. Wilson for the

"A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever
The world is as we find it,
Whether for good or ill;
The path is oftimes stormy,
Leads oftimes up the hill;
But when we've rea.hed the summit,
We then forget the journey,
And feel God knoweth best.
The world is as we take it,
Whether for ill or good;
The path lies through the brambles,
And often through the wood;
But if we look beyond it,
Where shines the light of day,
We'll brayely journey onward;
"God kroweth best"-we say.
The world is as we make it;
We reap both good and ill;
The seed we SOW in passing,
Upsprings from wood and hill;
Before we reach the summit,
The flowers may be but weeds
Unless we tread with gladness
Gods path-He knows our needs.
God be with thee until we meet

Women Must Keep
Their Husbands.

According to the revised code
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, the bride must promise
to Glove, honor and keep" her
husband. The enabling clause in
the nugtial formula has been the
subject of endless tinkering of
late, but we feel that it ought to
stay now for a long period where
the Methodists have put it.
Strangely enough the men were
less satisefid than the women
with the old word "obey-" So
many sweet girls seemed rather
TO want to pledge obedience. But
man in his wisdom, born of eff
fectual experience, knew how
sweetly those same girls proceed
ed straightway to obey not, and
so quietly worked for repeal of
the statute. The new formula is
a revolutionary and happy rever-
sal of ancient duty and privilege.
The sweet girl now must agree to
"keep" the man OF her choice.
Thus, claiming her full rights
womun must now agree to do her
whole duty, and no man need
longer bother himself with the
question of how he is to support
a wife. 1t is interesting to note
in this connection that a young
woman has lately been telling the
public that marriage improves a
man. Hencefo. tn the improve
ment ought to be more noticea-

Belief in the Future.

The belief in Immortality is
the most splendid and beautiful
conception of the human mind;
the idea of a personal God whose
other name is love, and who will
tenderly guard all. His children
in this world and in future worlds
should be the grandest incentive
to right living and right doing of
all that touch the human heart.
If these concepts are, in truth,
living and actual in the great
mass of humanity. why, it may
well be asked, are not the man
ifestations of their influence more
clearly IN evidence?
If there is anything history
teaches it is this: That when a
race or a civilization becomes di-
vorced from It's religion, when
skepticlsm succeeds faith and pa
ganism dlsplaces living belief,
then is the decline and fall of all
the works of progress impending.
Neither individual nor race has
any more enduring anchor than
an impelling belief IN things
hoped for, but not seen.-Metcalf

A large number of the natives Of
Tenerife dwell In rock caves at the

The dwellings Of these islanders are

a term can be used, on the rock. They
have three completed sides without
openings Of any kind; the roof is prac,

1t dips" a little in order to catch the

The front Of the hut has a door,
which forms the only ventilation, and
often the only means by which light
can enter. This door is generally open,
and the family sits either inside the
hut quite close to the door or outside
in the open. They usually have a kind
of cellar, which is a natural or arti-
fetal excavation in the rock founda-
ton, and In this cellar they keep a pig.
Sanitation is decidedly primitive.
