He said it was. terrible mistake to
have placed before the mind of an in
FAINT child every day as part of a
prayer the thought of death. as in IF
should die before wake"
Is it not serious experiment. this
constant placing the thought of death
not only, but sudden DEATH before
the mind of child every day and day
after day of life. and might it not tend
to result in early death?
The mind of a child is most impress
sionable. It should not be allowed to
contemplate death and especially the
fear of death habitually. Its teachings
should be the joy of life, of health. OF
strength. of the infinite. The prayer
should be uplifting, aspiring, joyous.

PRACTICAL FASHION TALK.
A Season of Large Hats and Startling
Coiors

CoIors.
Women will surely get their mon
ey's worth in their hats this season,
for they are nearly big enough to
serve for umbrellas. 4 visit to some
of the largest shops yesterday proved
my assertion. | never saw such enor-
nous CONNECTIONS" as the French
call them. They are not only large of
brim, but the way the trimming is
piled upon them and hung from them
is ''Scandalous." as one behOlder said
And the colors- purple of the most IN
compromising shade and green that
would put emerald to shame, besides
several shades of red. Made plumeS
are very much in evidence, and such
quantities of them are piled upon the
hats that it is wonder how the wear
ers will be able to hold them on their
heads. Still they are light in reality.
Chicken feathers, dyed. undyed. black
and white, are made into fanciful
designs representing other plumes. par
ticularly ostrich and marabou. Some
of the seasons hats have regular
boas of short dyed turkey down around
the brim and hanging quite to the
back. These go best with the mush-
room shape but are seen on all close
hats.
OF fiat shapes there is no end. Some
are simply covered tightly with MORE
silk or plain taffeta or satin. the
crowns being bell shaped and about
two inches high. This leaves the dent
ed-in place which makes the hat SO
easy to trim. The purple silk hats and
those of other colors have such high
arrangements of plumes that | would
scarcely dare say how lofty they are.
I saw one with several kinds of plumes
all set on together, and each kind was
in a different shade of purple. | also
saw one hat of green with an astonish-
ing purple feather that curled around
the crown and hung down to the col
lar. A few seasons ago We would
have considered that admiXture of raw
colors a capital crime. but now the
| women say. How sweet.' and Isn't

say and be very near the mark. Hats
| for children are almost as large and
| almost as wildly colored, but many OF
them have plaid ribbon as the garni

| the foundations of most of the hats

nous mass of plumeS. are certainly the
most striking and will be affected by
those who like to have something that
are few more modest styles, but they
are markedly few.
The new silks for evening are very
dainty and even artistic. They have
white, cream, French gray and pale
lilac grounds, and over them are scat
tered loosely lunches of flowers in di-
rect contrast or to harmonic with
the ground. These will be made with
so much lace that one can scarcely tell
which is dress and which is ornament.
Lace overdreSses are very beautiful
and very costly also, but dear to wo-
mankind. All lace for gowns and coats
is of the heavy thread variety, mostly

fective.

or it is to be supposed it will be worn
in the street and for ceremonious Wis
iting. Trimmed with some of the beau
tiful braids or with the heavy lace this
kind and color of material will be very
popular
1t is said that the accepted fashion
for women themselves will be the
slender and willowy figure. Nearly all
the new costumes and coats have long
and severe lines, and all are designed
to give apparent slimness to the figure.
This is an art belonging to the dress
makers. and it is surprising what re-
suits they can obtain with few yards
of stuff and some trimming. must
not forget to say that all fine street
gowns now are to be silk lined. with

The new chiffon brOadcloth which is
woven in tiny checks is very much
liked. as it makes up beautifully and
shows its value at the first glance.
while it is refined and elegant. No
other kind of check or plaid has ever
been devised in broadcloth. and that
makes this even more desirable. The
only fault it has is it's cost, which is

trimming save the neatness of tailor
stitching. Short. snug fitting coats and
plain skirts are the rule in this kind of
suit. The coats have three pockets and
must be finished with the greatest care
to be perfect. Long coats of cloth for
very dressy occasions are satin lined
Some are entirely of lace over satin.

IrreIiqion and Psychology.

in attributing to irreligion the breaking

What Business Men Eat.

proved by masculine appetite. That
means they are eating substantial
beefsteaks. roast beef and mutton,
with soups and vegetables. There is
no dividing of portions on that side ol

supplements the single vegetable that
accompanies the meat with an order
for a salad or an extra vegetable OF

BUSINESS WOMAN'S LUNCH.
At Noon She Seldom Eats Wholesome
or Sufficient Food.

A business woman's lunch-of what
does it usually consist? If you live il
a town where many women are EN-
ployed just stroll into one of the popu

You will be surprised when you hear
some of the orders.
For instance, very stout girl with
a picture hat of fiber braid and tiut-
terng flowers will ask for a sardine
sandwich and an apple dumping. This
will be washed down with glass of
water. for which the restaurant eX-
acts no charge. A fragile maiden ou
the other side of the table viii call for
bread pudding and gingerbread. An
other asks for apple pie and ice cream.
Two damSelS of more generous appe-
tite will order an opulent lunch of fish
cakes, French fried potatoes and 4
custard apiece The three fish cakes
are divided between them; so is the
small dish of potatoes. The girl next
to them, who is lunching on ice cream
and small slab Of raisin cake. eyes
them hungrily. Rolls and coffee are
the portion of a dyspeptic looking wo
man at the end of the table. Two
gorgeous fashion plates who have just
come in call for a plate of ice cream
and an apple dumping. They divide
the order, eating the dumping first,
Dumplings are popular with the girl
luncher because they so successfully

Good Looks and Wholesome Diet.

Perhaps this is one reason why such
girls grow old and careworn after a
few years in the business world, why
they seldom take an interest in their
work, start for home tired and irrita-
BILE and SO often complain of head
aches and other ills.
What the business world wants is
clear minds in sound bodies. 1t has no
use for the languid worker or for the
semi-invalid. If the business woman
looks for success one of the problems
she should study is how to keep her
body in sound condition. Exercise and
good fresh air are excellent. Of all
these we have heard much. Now, is
1t not time that some one should take
up the campaign in favor of a more
sensible diet?
