English Wedding Wells.

The English have much sentiment
about wedding wells, and that Worn by
Lady Shrewsbury, who at thirty-siX
was grandmother, was also worn by
her three daughters, Muriel Lady
HelmSley, Lady Gwendolen Little and
Lady Londonderry, and by two grand
daughters, Mrs. Gervase Beckett and
Lady Helen Satordale. The latter
bride also had in her wedding boquet
a bit of myrtle grown from a slip th~-
in 1879 had formed q part of Lady
Londonderry's bridal boquet, and
which was planted Immediately after
ward. Lady Lou-Helen was married
in 1902, or twenty-seven years from
the date of the planting Of the original
sprig. The Jerseys have an exquisite
lace veil worn by the celebrated Sarah
Lady Jersey in 1904, and this. just 100
years later, in 1904, adorned Lady Du-
sany, daughter Of the present Lord and
Lady Jersey. The Hon. Mrs. Benja-
min Bathurst wore a wedding veil that
had also been worn by her grandmoth-

Foulards Again to Fore.

Foulards will be much worn this
year-not the cheap grades which did
much to kill the popularity Of these
silks LIST season, but an expensive and
wholly charming quality called ra'
dium. 1t is difficult to distinguish this
much-talked-of radium silk from the
old foulards, except in the matter OF
designs and a certain opalescent quail
ity. There is no sign in the new Silks
of the old conventional scroll patterns
always associated with this material
These have been superseded by tiny
checks and pin line stripes, the latter
scarcely more than their own width
apart, so that the general appearance
is that of solid color.
All the best couturiers are making up
their foulards and radiums very simply
and softly. The skirts on the dressy
gowns are in many attractive instances
laid in tiny stitched tucks, while at the
hem a favorite ornamentation is waved
valenciennes frills set on with narrow
strappings of the silk. In delicate col
orings, several of these radium frocks
are serviceable additions to the sum

Lingerie Waists.

A waist ''pattern"-tha is, the mate
rial in its proper sections, Is a very
simple matter, though those who know
nothing of the dressmaking may be at
a loss to portion out the linen. The
following very elementary suggestions
will make it possible for novice to
prepare the pattern for the dressmak-
er. The waist requires three yards Of
linen one yard wide. Cut twenty-nine
inches for the front, twenty-five for
the back breadths Zone width makes
the two backs, twenty-five inches for
each sleeve. This leaves a piece from
which can be cut three-inch strip for
the collar and two pieces nine by
eleven and one-half inches for the deep
cuffs. Care should be taken not to set
the design on the front too high up;
one does not realize how much goes
into the shoulder or how deep the neck
must be cut out: an ample allowance
must be made. On a hand-embroidered
waist the tucking should be done by
hand. A combination of machine
tucks and hand embroidery is never
happy. Hemstitched tucks are pretty,
as in our examples Of the coarSer linen
waist, and the one with the peacock
dcsign.-Harper'S Weekly.

Still in the Stone Age.

The Eskimos Of Arctic Alaska are
still in the stone age. The manufac-
ture of arrows and spear heads from
flint is living industry. Stone lamps,
stone hammers and chisels, and to
some extent stone knives, are still in
ordinary use among them. Fish lines
and nets and bird snares are still made
of whalebone, sinew, or rawhide. Ar
rows, spears, nets and traps are used
in hunting, although improved breech-
loading arms are being introduced
among them, and will soon supersede,
for the larger game, their own more
primitive weapons.-The Metropolitan

Remarkable Discovery Made In the
Heart of San Luis Valley.
One of the most remarkable dis
coveries ever made in the region Is
that of a lake of liquid soda in the In
accessible desert between Crestone,
Cbl., and Hooper, in the San Luis
valley. The lake is an acre and a guar
ter in extent and lies at the bottom
of a little basin valley in the desert
On it's surface soda crystals have
collected to depth of eighteen inches
the whole lake having the appearance
Of a body of ice with hard snow
covering.
A recent examination by the state
school of mines shows that these cry
stalls are 81 per cent pure soda, purei
than most Of the commercial soda
offered on the market. A Denver man
E. NJ. Fake, has secured lease OF the
land containing the lake and Is row

impervious clay, and proper condt
tions are furnished for concentration

Children Should Have Loose Clothes.

Children Should Have Loose Clothes.
Children should never wear tight
shoes, bands, collars, garters or gloves.
Tight clothing injuries any part Of the
body, but most especially the chest.
1t prevents the proper expansion of the
lungs and, while there are millions OF
air cells in our lungs, we need the use
Of every one of them to keep the blood
pure. Pressure on muscles cripples or
prevents their action and unused mus
cles grow weak and atrophy, so that
the act of respiration, which is carried
on by the chest muscles, grows more
and more shallow. Tight clothing may
cause compression Of the soft, bony
chest wall of the child, thus mechan-
ically preventing the air from entering
the lungs. The larger our lungs and
the more we breathe, other things be-
ing equal, the longer we will live and
the more power and vigor we will
have. When we remember how the
breathing affects the whole life 1t IS
easy to understand how construction OF
the chest always brings i'll health.
Construction of the chest also inter-
feres with the action Of the stomach,
heart and liver. A baby's waistband
may be so tight that it cannot retain
\sufficient food on its stomach, and the
mother wonders why it grows thinner
and thinner.
Tight clothes interfere with the cir
culation of the blood, and equilibrium
of the circulation is necessary to the
proper development Of the child. With
reference to the equilibrium Of the cir
culation, the distribution Of the cloth
ing on the body is very important. AS
a usual thing the parts OF the body
the notwithstanding the most pro-
lection, receive the least, and the parts
containing the vital organs, where the
circulation is always active. are too
heavily clothed. Babies especially are
often found clothed in this manner.
BY using the one-piece garment, the
body can be more evenly clothed. The
child's head should be protected from
cold in winter and from the hot sun in
summer, but children take cold easily
if the head is kept too warm.-Boston
Traveller.

Preparing FOR Our Heavenly Home
Phil. 8. 20, 81; Heb. II. $40, 1916.
The universal instinct is for one
to better his condition. That eX-
plains the successive migrations which
have populated the earth. The Old
Testament worthless felt that they
were strangers and pilgrims" here,
that their home was in heaven. They
inherited 4 land OF milk and honey,
yet felt that they were destined to
abide here only a brief time and then
go "home."
What is there in the heavenly land
which should cause these old heroes
to desire it,? Why should we, to-
day, have thought and care for that
heavenly home?
Because it is better country. We
live in an age when the temporal is
exalted The conditions Of life are
often so happy and pleasant that we
are in danger Of forgetting this great
fact. Heaven is better country than
this. y is the abode OF satisfaction.
We are too big for this world. We
are never satisfied here. nor ought We
to be. We Will be satisfied when we
awake in His likeness. 1t is the asy-
lum of fife. Death reigns here, but
not there. 1t is the seat Of rest.
Restless here, there we shall have
eternal rest.
Now. our lesson represents a desire
fer heaven an index Of character and
pleasing to God. Why? Surely all
men desire heaven. Yes, in a sense,
but not in the sense meant here.
What are the characteristics Of
true desire and preparation for heav-
en-?
A desire for that which is supreme
in heaven. This is holy character.
We are to desire heaven not for its
rest, It's happiness, it's pleasures; but
for it's holiness and purity. The OBJ
ject Of desire is always a touchstone
of character. Why do you desire
wealth. knowledge. power? Tell me
why, and I will tell you your charac-
ter Why do you seek heaven? II
true child of God it Is because there
you Will be like Jesus. A Godlike
character is the real object Of the
Christian.
An intense desire is necessary. Not
the man who has lazy, lanquid wish
for heaven is commended to God, but
the man who earnestly strives for 1t.
Only the man who really longs for
wealth. knowledge, or fame gets it.
Only the Christian who Is ready to
sacrifice everything for heaven and
holiness secures these.
1t AUST be also an unselfish desire.
We are to seek heaven not simply
to enjoy it, but to realize it's charac-
ter Not to sit down and be happy
only. but to be prepared for heavenly
service, is to be the thought Of the
Christian. A preparation for heaven
Is to be had with the thought that
all eternity IS to be filed with SER
lice for God.

The American Girl.

Marie Corelli has made another at
tack upon the vulgarity Of wealth and
society in a series Of essays just print
ed. which she calls Free Thoughts >
She also has a few observations to
make on the American woman. Miss
Corelli does not altogether admire the
American women, but she holds that
they are popular in England because
they make themselves popular. Miss
Corelli says:
'As to the American girl, she is all
there She can take the measure Of a
man in about ten minutes, and classify
him as though he were botanical
specimen. She realizes all his limita-
tions, his fads-and she has the uncom-
monty good sense not to expect much
of him. She would not take any on
the lily maid of Astolat. the Fair
Elaine, who spent her time in polishing
the shield Of Lancelot, and who finally
died of love for that most immoral,
but fascinating knight Of the round
table. No, she wouldn't polish shield,
you bet. She would make Lancelot
polish it himself for all he was worth.
and polish her own dear little boots and
shoes for her into the bargain. That
is one of the observation-disclosures
or, let us say, queenliness, which
sounds better. The lord of creation can
do nothing inI the way of ordering her
about, becaY as the lady of creation,
she expect ITO order him about-and
she does" London Correspondence

A Pathetic story.

A pathetic story Of the. war is told
by japanese correspondent at Kobe
Feodor Chesnetzky, young Russian
soldier, was taken to the Red Cross
Hospital at Matsuyama riddled with
shrapnel. All his limbs were ampu'
tated, and after the operation, to the
amazement of the doctors, Chesnetzky
lived for eight months, lying quite
helpless. He was attended by Nurse
Kawaguchi, and he became so much
attached to her that he would cry like
a child when he could not see her. Her
devotion and tenderness were such
that she scarcely left him for eight
months, and she was with him when
he died.
