taken up by Miss Edith Beason and
Miss Ada Kuhn, who read papers on
Harmonious Treatment of Living
Rooms. Mrs. Bertha Nc Leran pre-
SentcG a paper on "Simplicity in Bed
room Furnishings" These ladies
treated their subjects very creditably,
using samples OF wall paper, drap-
cries, and moulding as illustrations,
and claiming that simplicity in decor
alton Is much to be preferred. One
should see that each room blends with
the other. Soft and restful tones
should be used and a harmonious
blending should be carried out in
walls, draperies, furniture, and floors.
Woodwork is an Important feature.
Paint can be removed and be replaced
by enamel or the wood stains which
give Subdued cOlOrS. In bed rooms,
soft yellow ana light cOlors should be
used in north ana west rooms, anC
the cooler blues and reds in the south
ana east. Rugs are better than car.
pets as they are more sanitary. Win.

terial easily Numbered.

SABBATH REFLECTION

1t is q fact that progress is some
times accidental and often Incidental,
but more frequently it is the expected
result Of human endeavor to reach a
cherished ideal. In Imagination we
eliminate the disagreeable and evil
things in our surroundings, ramble be-
yond the borders of harsh reality and
create an environment that yields naught
but pleasure. Then it is that we be-
come nettled by the difference between
our ideal and realities and set about to
make such re-arrangements as will
wipe away the difference and leave us
in possession of our ideal. But real
tiles are stern things. To brave them
we must be patient, courageous and
rugged; for often they become merci-
less, cruel, and seemingly inconsider-
ate, delivering blow upon blow until
we fall by the way. Piteously with
quivering arms outstretched toward
our glowing cynosure in the dim dis
lance do we perish in the attempt to
realize the ideal, or vice versa, ideal
ize the real. 1t would seem that we
have failed, but if we have cherished a
worthy ideal this is not true. We have
not lived in vain. Succeeding genera
lions will appreciate our work, tax e
the noble task from our hands and
push forward, and over our crumb-
ling bones, complete the beautiful
structure beside the framework of
which they found US dead with tools
in our cold pulseless hands. We were
doing our duty when Death struck the
fatal blow. How nobly fallen!
would prefer a nameless grave be-
meath the happy footsteps of con-
tented posterity to guided tomb in
the midst ofdessension and riot. Farm.
er John did more for the world than
did King John. The former never
made visible impression upon his
country's history, but it was in his
innocent blood that the latter dipped
his pen to write red page. Social
eminence accepted from the fawning
hands of Vice and Sin is a venomous
draught that frequently leaves its VIC
tim an enfeebled monstrosity as were
many of the rulers of declining Rome.
A man without an ideal is man on
| ly in form. Otherwise he is a brute,
an animal, the most dangerous ami
NAL that roves the earth. Ideals are
lofty in proportion to their free
dom selfishness and sensuality. If we
must have an ideal, where are we to
| get one? We are weaklings with de-
fective judgment. Were man to con-
suit no higher power than himself in
formulating an ideal it would be sure
to be warped to suit some individual
whimI and contaminated with selfish
ness and sensuality. Where then are
we to 60 for material to build an
ideal? l would say go to the Bible, to
the New Testament, to the teachings of
Christ, to the Sermon on the Mount,
which contains the most beautiful
thoughts that ever knocked at the door
of a human heart, and the sweetest
prayer that ever assembled from the dis
NAL abode of wicked man. When will
man cease to say the Lords Prayer?
Never, so long as there is human
tongue to speak. Tonight baby lips
are lisping it, aged men repeat it,
| strong ministers are saying it,,
choirs are singing it, vast crowds are
repeating it in concert, and graphr-
phones are reproducing It from lips
now silent in death which said 1t long
ago.

And left her sobbing by the frozen
brook;
The early birds were mute with fright

MOTHERS AND STEPMOTHERS.
Vice. Chancellor Pirney's Decision Gre
ates widespread Attention.

vfce-C Chancellor Pirney's Decision Gre
ates Widespread Attention.
An informal remark made by Vice
Chancellor Pitney in deciding a case
last week seems to have excited wide
spread attention and opened up a mid
summer discussion in relation to that
at times very useful parsonage, the
step mother. The remark was made
in deciding an appeal on the part Of a
divorced man for the custody of his
children. Some fifteen or twenty
years ago he married woman with
some musical ability, and being out of
employment for some time she sup
ported him by singing in concert halls
and other places. After time he se-
cured a lucrative situation and in a
short time brought over a woman from
France, whom he supported in New
York. Hearing of this his wife sued
him for divorce which was granted her
with the custody of her three children
and she was allowed S12 a week ali
mony. This was a number Of years
ago. The man married his paramour,
and since then in order to get rid of
paying SO much alimony has made re-
peated attempts to get the custody Of
his children. 1t was in deciding an
appeal Of this character that the Vice
Chancellor made remark to the effect
that the natural mother was the pro-
per custodian Of the children rather
than a step-mother. Since the re-
marks have been published the Vice
Chancellor has received letters speak
ing very highly of Individual cases Of
step-motherhood, which would prove
that they are not altogether to be con-
demned if some are not all that could
be desired.
