BISHOP BECK MYTH
 CONFIRMS GLASSES
ADVENT CHURCH AND ST. MARY'S ON THE HIGHLANDS. LARGE CONGREGATIONS ATTHE TWO SERVICES YESTERDAY.

In Episcopal circles yesterday was day of especial interest. The Right Rev. c. M. Beckwith, bishop of the diocese, confirmed classes at the two prominent churches of the Birmingham district-the Church of the Advent, the Rev Dr. ". E. Evans, rector. and St Mary's-on-the- Highlands, the Rev. J. w. Canty John son, rector.
 The bishop visited the Advent at the Il o'clock services. He preached to large congregation and administered the rite of confirmation on twenty-seven candi- dates. Thrty-one candidates had been prepared, but four of them were un- avoidably absent. Dr. Evans has been rector of the Advent only about two months and in view of that fact his class was regarded as highly encouraging.
 Bishop Beckwith delivered an impress sive and animating sermon on the Pow CT of Thought in Molding Character" his text being, As a man thinketh in his heart so is he" The speaker showed that in every sphere of life thought mold ed character and created institutions; and that even nationally it was thought that differentiated republics from mon- archies and empires from kingdoms. He emphasized particularly the effect that thought had on the individual. He point ed out that many men have curious thoughts about religion. man s thoughts about spiritual matters may be all wrong. While truth is not affected by what the man thinks, yet what he "thinketh in his heart" changes the man.
 The bishop expressed great pleasure in his visit to the Advent and gave evi- dence of his qualification at the work being accomplished in the parish.
 At o'clock last night Bishop Beck with preached at St. Mary's on the words of Christ comparing the kingdom of God to a mustard seed He confirmed a class of eleven presented jointly by the Rev. MT. Johnson and the Rev MT. De Ovies, the latter being rector of St Andrews The church was well filled.

Dutch Women's Headdress and Bodice

From the Girls Realm.
 Women often possess two headdresses, one for Sundays and the other for week. days. In cold or wet weather a hood was worn stiffened with paper and having two long ribbons, provided with golden hooks, to protect 1t against the wind
 Above low silk or satin bodice was worn an elaborately folded handkerchief of fine lawn or cambric, which allowed only a little of the throat to be seen and which was fastened by a brooch or ribbon.
 The bodice itself was usually tight fitting laced one of white or blue satin. 1t is said that women of the lower classes frequently only took the trouble of un- lacing this cuirass-like garment once week. The tighter the bodice the more elegant its wearer was considered and as a great number of pettieoats were de rigueur, a small waist appeared even less than it actually was.
