A New Version.

A new version of the Temp
tation of Eve" was sprung at a
woman's club meeting in Phila-
delphia the other night. She
said in part: Some time ago |
saw in French comic journal a
cut entitled ''The True Tempta-
ton of Eve Eve, without
clothes and without care, sat
under the fatal apple tree, with
an unbitten apple in her hand,
while coiled in front of her was
the serpent, holding in his mouth
a fashion plate depicting one Of
those marvellous creations with
which we are all familiar in
such works of art. The temp
tation was too great to be resist
ed. The price of sin was too
splendid to be refused. Ever
since this one dominant impulse
has held good-that while men
have replaced beauty of dress by
garments of stern utilitarianism,
women have never in the long
centuries abated one jot of their
concentrated and anxious inter-
est in clothes. They dare not if
they would; too much is at stake,
and they play into natures hand
by following instinctively or in
telligently the great principles
of self-adornment. -

PRESCOTT DISTRICT
Appeal to Stewards

The battle is nearly over and
the victory in most places in the
Prescott district is assured. May
7 exort the stewards in the few
places yet behind with the salary
of their pastor, briefly? Perhaps
nv brethren you are much to
blame. Not altogether OF course.
The obligation of the members
to pay, the solemn vow to at
tend upon the ordinances and
support the institutions Of the
Church, should require them
to pay "As the Lord has pros
pered them. But the Stewards
should persistantly and persuasl-
vely present the dues and de-
mands, the urgent necessities or
the preachers. If this fails, notify
YOUR pastor and let him select
other good men, or women, to
assist you, and rush to the
rescue of your pastor and save
him from bankruptcy, and his
delinquent membership from re-
pudiation. Methodists do not
settle with each other, not with
their merchants, nor indeed with
anyone else, at seventy-hVe
cents on the dollar. No wonder
preachers fight shy Of such ap-
pointments. Please explain to
your constituency also that it is
their duty to pay the conference
claims assessed against them IN
full. In the aggregate it is a
mere bagatelle, as there are
many men and women in each
pastoral charge able to pay it
and be none the poorer, but
richer with God. Brethren,
your preachers have been faith
full and are deserving and needy.
Please pay them every dollar
you owe them.

PRINCESS WAS A TOMBOY.

Those who had the privilege of

her fair hair in a "pigtail" her
younger brothers used to tease
her dreadfully, watching their
opportunity to pull the long;
thick plat, and then assuming
an innocent air when the royal
victim turned round to discover
the offending one. She once, in.

Husband Nearly Crazed;
Hopes Against Hope

NEW YORK. Feb. 20-John w. Waters,
husband of the woman who is supposed
to have thrown her three children into
the sound and then followed herself,
was manager of the Fire Insurance
Bureau of the National Association Of
Manufacturers, at 10 Broadway. He
was nearly crazed with grief when the
news of the tragedy was broken TO him.
but later was able to go to Fall River
with a friend. He hopes that &Ts
Waters slipped from the boat at New
port with the children.
Mrs. Waters was the daughter OF Cap
tain Brady, who is now the collector Of
the port Of Fall River. She and Waters
were married nine years ago. They
went to Chicago to live, where Mr.
Waters became prominent in insurance
and church circles. Six months ago he
was offered the position by the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers, and
came to this city. His wife followed
him only q month ago, and the couple
went to live with their three children
at 179 Kingston avenue, Brooklyn. The
children were Helen, four years old /;
Dorothy, two, ard John, baby, four
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Waters
dressed [. ~ children in their best and
told the servant that she was going to
pictures taken in a group. She took no
baggage.
When Mr. Waters came home from
business last night his wife had not
returned He waited for q couple Of
hours and then, becoming alarmed,
made inquiries among friends. He
could ma no trace Of her or the chill
dren- All night long he Toamed the
streets looking for them. but still to
no purpose He came to business this
morning, grief stricken ami worried,
and had barely seated himself at his
desk when news was brought to him
that woman, who had given her name
as Mrs. Allen, had probably committed
suicide from the steamer Plymouth
with her three children 1t was also
stated TO him that this woman had
left a letter for him.
Waters at once OWNED the truth and
collapsed, His business associates cared
Tor him and finally induced him TO make
the trip to Fall River to see what could
be done.
Before Waters left he said that for
three years his wife had suffered oc-
easional lapses of mind The spells
we're brief. and she had never Shown
any dangerous spirits. Recently, or
since the birth OF her last child, she
had become morose and melancholy.
and he had worried greatly. Except
Tor this there was not a cloud on the
horizon of their married life until this
trouble came.

Day Likely to Bring Peace
or Deadlock.

ALGECIRAS, Spain, Feb. 20.-It is not
denied now that the critical point in
the Moroccan conference has been
reached. and for the first time the opti-
mism OF the American representative.
Mr. White, is not in evidence, although
he still believes that there Will be &
peaceful outcome OF the affair
The situation at present. in so fan as
France and Germany are concerned IS
similar 20 that which existed at the
time that the Portsmouth conference
was nearing an end and Russia had
rejected the original japanese demands.
1t Is claimed here, however. that al
though the present propositions should
be rejected. there IS no good reason why
the conference should adjourn finally.
IN fact. diplomats hold that should
either France or Germany decline 10
consider the present propositions con-
cerning the policing of Morocco. IT will
be the duty of the delegates to try to
amend them that they win become
satisfactory.
Germany is expected to make such
concessions that France win be forced
to meet her half way.
It is thought that at the afternoon
session today Germany Will make her
position clear, and the attitude of the
German delegates on the international
bank question viii forecast their ac-
tions on the matters in the dispute
The private conferences are now at
an end, and all matters will hereafter
be settled In open session.

Paris Expects Deadlock
After Session of Today

PARIS. Feb. 20-It is stated in gov
ernmental circles that Germany's re-
lection of the French suggestions at the
Moroccan conference. in Spain means
that hereafter all matters will be de-
bated in open SESSION and all of the
delegates will lea n just where the two
nations most directly concerned stand
in the matter.
France claims that she has done all
that was compatible with honor to COM
promise the disputed articles and that
now the conference will have to decide
whether the French nation will be up
held If the conference adjourns in
deadlock. France will insist that it was
because Of Germany's attitude in de
manding everything and conceding
nothing.
1t is generally believed here that this
afternoons session will be the final one
of the conference.

''The assertion that strait jackets and

condemnation is that vicious, criminal
