HOW CARELESS.

and could not have such a stain upon
it. With all its Wanted chivalry it's
the south that hit below the belt and
added needless and heartless suffering
to the civil war.
To think the roses are almost here.
While this earth has roses it still
holds joy for the most faded of life's
pilgrims.

ability to develope beauty in her sur
roundings. Miss A. e. McCrae of
Chicago has recently been placed in
charge of the landscape gardening
and architectural remodelling needed
to beautify all the passenger stations
on their lines in nine states. Every
detail is to be lett to her judgment
and she will have special private
car at her disposal when busted with
her work. This may be regarded as
a direct result of the club woman's
agitation for civic improvements.
The girls in the M. E. choir last
Sunday looked sweet enough to-.
we'll, say, eat-in white dainty gowns
and without hats they made rosebud
bouquet. 1t was union choir as
we'll as service and the singing was
splendid. The pleasure given their
hearers ought to repay the busy MEM
bers for the time spent in drilling.
We presume the men looked as sweet
too but they were rather out of sight.
Anyway they sang we'll.
Church music has not made the adj
vancement in this country that the
other branches of music, as we'll as
other arts, have made. The reason
is generally thought to be on account
of lack of interest shown by the pub
lie in general. This is very true, and
yet all musicians and music lovers
know that in church music the art re-
ceives its grandest and noblest ex-
preston. These same musical people
are usually the ones to show the
greatest antipathy toward al musical
work in the churches. There never
was such interest in singers and sing
ing as there is to-day, and with the
advancement of all other arts in this
country, the art of organ building
has made great strides. However,
these conditions have not brought
about the desired results. The great
fault lies in the cheap class of music
that the choir directors are using to
"please the public. = The wonderful
success Of the Bach choir at Bethle-
hem, Pennsylvania, is showing what
can be done toward remedying this
evil. Conscientious and capable mu-
sicians are attracted by high grade
church work and their efforts never
lack public appreciation. The musical
work in the church, as we'll as in
other places, fourishes only when pa
tronized by public interest, but this
interest to be genuine must be brought
about by genuine effort.
An exchange, in referring to
etiquette for young men, says that
.'good manners do not necessarily
indicate softening of the BRAIN also
that "a man may dance a two-step
beautifully and play cards SO we'll he
wins a prize, and yet not know what
party call is. Mr.. Owen Wister,
who wrote that delightful book,
"The Virginian," has preferred to
leave his old field for an entirely new
one. Instead of following up his
great success with another story in
the same field, he has chosen for his
scene a historic city, and the life
portrayed is that of the most refined
and cultivated society. Lady
Baltimore, his new novel, is an

The sweet girl graduate goes forth
To conquer or 10 die.

She takes for battle cry
The grim realities OF lie
Replace ideals high:
She learns beyond the palisades
The big mosquitoes lie.
