It is noted that in some quarters Greek is eliminated from the curricu- lum of study laid down for young ministers. Were we one of that class, we should much prefer knowing a little Greek for ourselves, in expound- ing the New Testament especially.
 Mrs. Clarke, since her return from her protraCted visit with her daugh- ters in Massachusetts,, was not quite as we'll last week. A weak back and indigestion are the maladies she con- plains of. Her husband, Rev. s. W. Clarke, is a confirmed cripple from rheumatism.
 We are not yet quite showed under with "Readers' Guides" a copy of which we asked for in this column last week. Now, will some one fire at us a copy of "Webster's Spelling Book, 7" millions and millions of which are scattered over the land, especially in the south and southwest, where the book is still in use.
 At the Congregational church Sun. day forenoon the subject was "The slain man," founded on the vision il Revelations, appropriate to the com munion which followed the regular service. A collection was taken fo the Congregational building fund Notice of the social, with refresh ments, music, etc., tonight was givel out.
 | At the Baptist church the subject was Repentance the great need oi all men," Founded on Luke 5: 20. | Announcement was made of the social to be held Friday night, the 11th, the literary and musical program of which is given in another place. This free gathering is intended to promote soci, ability in the church and congrega- tion, simply. The invitation is general.
 In the fore part of Webster's spell ing book, which we used as a young sUer, under the head of "Use of capi- tai letters, '' it says: "The pronoun and interjection o should be always in capitals" so that, in reality, there are no little is except in words. By the way, that old Webster's spelling book, learned from beginning to end, was quite an education. It would do no harm even if college graduates should peruse it occasionally.
 Years ago, in Hartford, we had the pleasure of knowing the celebrated "Peter Parley' of our childhood, Mir. Goodrich. We were acquainted with the publishers of that celebrated "Childs' Geography" also. One frosty winters morning, when the fine old gentleman came into my office with his green goggles, old-fashioned fur cap, with ear-laps, and fringed yarn mittens, I we'll remember the beaming expression of his large, rugged face when expressed the pleasure, as well as benefit, I had received from the study of his most charming text book.

DEGREES of Dame Fashion

Nowhere do we see the tight-fitted
garments of some years back. What Is
spoken of as close is anything but
snug, q looseness obtains. A princes
gown that has draped sash will not
have the sash conflne the figure, but
will be sewn high on the skirt Of the
dress.
Although stocks are higher and At
neatly about the neck, many women
wear for afternoon and evening no
stock at all. The return of the Dutch
neck Is matter for congratulation
among stout women, and unless the
throat is very scrawny indeed the half
low neck is quite attractive. although
the right point must be chosen, neither
too low nor too high.
Speaking of our stout sisters, we
would warn against the selection Of
tight bodices, the bolero properly cut
and trimmed is much. better. The

Gee, didn't that Russian talk kopec

sleeve In the street suit. The coquet.
fish tricorno hat Is of felt trimmed
with velvet and feathers. A glimpse
of white lingerie at the neck gives a
dainty finish to the charming costume
Boleros are extremely short in the
back and pretty long in the front as
a rule. This Is kindly trick to con.
ceal deficiencies of the figure, to soften
angularities and to conceal too great
embonpoint. 1t is style we may call
generally becoming.
A colorful season is upon us, q color.
full season is to succeed. The favor.
lite shades are hard to determine; but
we may mention that peacock blue has
strong hold both in millinery and
frock materials. It should not be
used too generously, little is much
better than great deal. We recent.
ly had our attention called to lovely
combination, white matinee coat
worn with chinchilla furs and a hat
Of peacock tones. It was different"
wherefore one element of its attrac.
tiveness. And now we have spoken Of
matinee apparel, We are moved to tell
OF a pretty little dress we saw the
other afternoon at the theater. 1t was
one Of the old-rose cloth costumes
that have been noticeable this winter,
but this one was especially dainty and
very becoming to the dark-haired girl
who wore it. The skirt was princess
with high girdle, the upper part Of
the bodice Powered silk muslin, old
rose with Celebrations in dull browns
and greens. The muslin was fashioned
with much f1ufiness, and gave dressy
look to what might have been rather
plain costume. The hat was covered
with plumes of rosy hue, shading from
pink to wine red.
A plain little shirt-waist suit of silk
or wool may be transformed by the ad-
dition of a belt of gold tinsel or of
Pompadour ribbon. A little Persian
trimming is very effective on a utili-
tartan frock. 1t should be unneces-
sary to mention that trim stock and
cuffs are dainty finish not to be
neglected, but often this important
detail is omitted. There is decided
tendency toward relieving the former
plainness of the shirt-waist suit, and
the favorite means is by use of a fit
ted girdle on the waist, which is
worn outside of the skirt. Many Of
the new models look like fancy jacket
suits, the waist so trimmed as to simu-
late jacket.
The very latest in waists Is the dyed
lace blouse, the pale pinks and blues
perhaps most prominent There are
also some navy blue ones shown and
probably the fancy will grow to such
an extent the lace will be dyed to suit
individual taste. Personally we do
not care much for the fashion.

this blouse it takes three and a half
yards Of material % inches wide.
Last summer the shirt-waist suit
was not quite so much in fashion as the
jacket suit, q blouse of thin material
favored. It would now seem THAT the
shirt-waist suit in wash materials is
to return to favor tbs coming yeason;
and so many get resdy their spring
and summer frocks during the in.
clement weather of late winter and
early spring, we think 1t well to touch
on advance fashions. A fancy that
promises to appeal, is that of combin-
ing a lingerie waist with the material
used in the skirt, thus making a cos.
tune and keeping to something a lit
tie dressier than the plain shirt-waist
suit. And this Is to be recommended,
as the fine sheer materials combine so
effectively with heavier ones. For
house gowns dainty lawn berthas and
chemisettes will be preferred to lace
or embroidery.
