Most Desirable of Combinations for
the Woman Whose Purse
Is Not Large.

The woman whose position de-
mands that she should be smartly
gowned, and yet whose purse forbids
any extravaganza in dress, will find
1t good plan to have always at hand
stylish black or black and white
costume. Black and white always
looks we'll if made up in good mate
I1a1s and tlic1I It IL to q oortoi., o.ztoat
incOnspicuous, Sc that the one frock
may be worn time and again without
being too distinctly remembered. OF
course, it is a mistake to dress entire
ly in black or black and white, but
a black and white robe of some de-
scription is always useful invest
ment.
In the morning a black cloth or
serge with a tiny line of white is ex-
cellent, and this black cloth with it's
line of white is seen in all possible
degrees, the white varying from an al
most indefinable stripe to line of
equal width with the black. White
linen collar and cuffs laid over the
velvet or cloth make the suit lighter
for this time of year. The majority
of walking suits this season are made
with short three-quarter fitted
jacket, single-breasted and rounded
with the cutaway effect. The sleeves
are full length or a long three-quarter
as desired. The skirts clear the
ground well and flare attractively all
around.
For afternoon a black taffeta coat
and skirt costume is most serviceable,
and while not new is as fashionable
as ever. Instead of an all white waist
for wear with this suit, a guimpe ef
feet in lace and chiffon, with a bodice
of the silk embroidered in gold or sill
yer, slashed open here and there to
show the lace, makes an effective
dress. A pony or bolero coat of the
silk embroidered in black silk or else
trimmed with soutache braid is the
fashionable jacket just now. Instead
of lining this little coat its seams are
bound with lace edging and insertion
through which narrow satin ribbons
are run, and this keeps the wrap light
while leaving most attractive finish
to be seen when the coat is thrown
open or laid aside temporarily.

Korea.
More significant than any of these
offshoots of the church. is the public
bath house run by the Christians; for
badly as it needs religion, Korea needs
soap and water. l ask no further
proof of the genuineness of the con-
version of these people than the fact
of this bath house, with it's four bath
tubs and two shower baths-the latter
made by up-tilted and perforated
Standard oil cans. The full meaning
of this institution can be appreciated
only by one who has travelled in
Korea.
The three pioneers of this Pyeng
Yang work are still here and still
young men. They arrived 16 years
ago, Rev. DR.. S. A. Moffett, Rev. Ora
ham Lee and DR.. J. Hunter Wells, of
the northern Presbyterian board
They CHANGED to be men of large WIS.,
ion and statesmanlike mold, and so
they laid broad foundations upon
which the present phenomenal enter
prise has been rising. Following them
at intervals came II other mission
aries of the same denomination. Prior
to the Presbyterian settlement, DR..
and Mrs. w. J. Hall, medical mission
aries of the Northern Methodist
church, were already in Pyeng Yang,
but at the death of Il. Hall in 1894
the Methodlsts withdrew for time,
but later they re-established and now
have missionaries in the field, and two
thriving churches in the city proper,
as well as their country work.
found Mrs. Noble, wife of Methodist
missionary, teaching the bible one
week day morning to class of more
than a hundred women and girls, who
had come in from the country for that
purpose. Mrs Hall, who is a physi-
clan, has since returned and conducts
hospital for women, which, however,
burned down a few weeks ago.
An Extraordinary Prayer Meeting.
What may safely be called the most
remarkable midweek prayer meeting
in the world is that which l attended
in the big church in Pyeng Yang. The
building is L-shaped and divided into
halves by wooden partitions at the
angle of the l.. One side is reserved
for women and the other for men.
The church is utterly devoid of furni-
ture, except rough straw mats on the
floor. Into it were gathered on this
Wednesday evening no less than 1900
persons, men and boys, women and
children, all seated upon the floor.
The congregation was quiet, alert
and reverent. At prayer they all
bowed forward, with their heads to
the ground. Missionary Lee led the
music with a coronet, and the people
sang Justify. Everybody carried a
Bible and followed the Scripture read
ing. The address was listened to with
all the intentness and responsiveness
that any speaker could desire. At its
close the leaders and many of the
other men crowded to the platform to
speak with their beloved "Moksa," or
pastor. It struck me that this Korean
missionary, and many of his associ-
ates. have a work and an opportunity
which the ablest preacher in America
might covet.

A Flower Fad.

Wild flowers are extensively used
by the best milliners, especially morn
ing glories. This fragile blossom is
copied in velvet and satin and is put
on in masses, with trails of leaves.
Some of the big hats have for their
only trimming huge punches of flow
ers fixed at the front and falling from
the high crown over the brim so as
to almost totally eclipse it. The same
idea has been seen carried out with
four large wings or two large birds,
the latter with their beaks in a posi-
ton to seem to be peeking at the
fluffy hair of the wearer over the left
eyebrow. Snow-white straw hats,
with black Or colored brims, are seen
on some fashionable heads.

.Flunkyism 'Rebuked.

An amusing story is told of how
Princess Ludwig of Bavaria recently
administered a fine rebuke to funky-
ism at Bremerhaven railway station.
A servant in royal livery applied for
the reservation of compartment for
his mistress, but when the train ar.
rived it was found that all the first
class compartments were filled save
one, in which sat plainly dressed
old lady. The obsequfous station
master attempted to make the passen-
ger give up her seat so that royalty
might travel alone, but the old lady
objected. Il see no reason why she
should come in here with me-" she
said. Il certainly shall not give up
my place for any one" The station
masters angry voice brought Prin-
cess Ludwig of Bavaria to the car
riage door and after inquiring as tc
the cause of the excitement she ex-
claimed, do not be so ridiculous!
There is room in there for five peo-
pie. do not care for six seats"

DEATH IN A NEW GUISE.
Scheme That Landed Hungarian
Judge in Town Jail.

In little village on the Hungarian
frontier not far from Presburg, a
peasant woman recently received 400
kronen ($S5) from her husband in
America.
She promptly deposited it in the
local branch of the postoffice savings
bank. and then the next day went to
withdraw the whole amount.
The bank official was somewhat sur
prised, and asked for an explanation.
when she said that Death had ap-
peared to her during the night and
threatened to take her away with him
unless she had the 400 crowns ready
for him the next night
The gendarmes were communicated
with, and when Death" made his
promised appearance he was found to
be very much alive, in the person of
the local judge.
The Woman>s money is still in tho
bank, and the judge is in jail.-Pall

Dr.. McCosh's Impression.

losophy class. Nov, young gentle
men," continued the doctor, as he
touched his head with his forefnger.

tell me what an impression ISL" ex-
claimed the doctor, looking up and
down the class.

and growing red in the face, you are
excused for the day.-Judge.

be credited to the missionaries. It is
quite general for native churches to
maintain primary schools for secular
instruction. There are in this district
at least three higher academies and
the demand for education are by no
means met. 1t is probable that the
missionaries will soon have to forego
all direct teaching and become suDer-
intendents of instruction. The strate-
gical Importance to Christianity of
thus having controlling hand upon
the education of the nation is appar
ent at glance.
In Pyeng Yang proper are three
noteworthy schools. One is the COL
lege, with 300 students, all of whom
are Christians and all of whom pass
stiff entrance examination. This is
taught by both Methodist and Presbv-
terrain missionaries and by native
teachers. 1t is expected shortly to
grow into a Christian college with a
thousand students. There is also a
girls high school with half hundred
students. l was much struck with
the industrial school attached to the
college, where some students work
their way through an education. Here
they have genuine blacksmith shop.

of which are producing marketable
wares. The machine shop, for in
stance, is unable to supply the de-
mand for a certain braiding machine
which it turns out. The industry and

men would seem to indicate unsus-
pected capabilities on the part of the
Korean. This establishment more
nearly resembled a bona f1de work.
shop than any other industrial school
l recall.
The manager of this industrial
school is Rev. Graham Lee, who seems
to be practical mechanic. In addi-
ton to running the industrial school
he is the pastor of the largest church
in Korea, and has charge of 40 country
churches besides.
Like Story-eook Missions.
This suggests the country work that
centers in Pyeng Yang, and one pecu-
liar phase of Korean missions. The
church here is self-supporting. New
churches spring up almost in a night,
without ever having seen a missionary.
The Korean Christians are trained to
do personal work. Everyone is ex-
pected to be an evangelist. Thus it
comes to pass, that, by the telling of
the news from mouth to mouth, the
number of believers spreads with
greater rapidity than the missionary
can follow. It seems. literally true
here that the missionary cannot keep
up with the work, much less lead It.
A few days ago DR.: Wells and DR..
sharrocks went to Win, a city north
OF here, which figured often in the war
dispatches. En- route they looked in
upon some country congregations. The
hrst night, in a little village of about
1000 Inhabitants, they found a prayer
meeting under way-the regular mid

and not infrequently the engraving is
outlined in black. Smaller purses,
hand purses especially, are seen with
corner monograms in the shape of a
hollow triangle, inside of which is set
a script or old English monogram.
