BIBLE VERSE LOST IN
EGYPT is GIVEN OUT.
Had Been Missing Thirteen Centuries.
Is from Sixteenth Chapter of Mark
and Dates Back to Moslem CONQUEST.

CHICAGO. Dec. 31.-A saying Of Christ
lost to the world for thirteen centuries
and found in Egypt was given to the
world yesterday by Professor Henry A.
Sander. of the University of Michigan, in
an address before the archaeological ihsti-
tutes convention at the University of Chi
cago.
The fragment is part Of an old Bible
dating back to the Moslem conquest OF
Egypt. 1t belongs in the sixteenth chap
ter Of Mark and follows the fourth verse.
1t relates to the story Of Christ's appear
ance. following His death, to eleven of His
apostles in Jerusalem.
With the new verse in, the Gospel reads
Mark xvi, 4-And they answered say
ing that this. age Of unri~ghteousness
and unbelief is under the power of
Satan, who does not permit the things
which are made impure by the (evi)
spirits to comprehend the truth of
God and His power. For this reason,
reveal thy righteousness now, they
said to Christ, and Christ said to them,
the limit of the years of the power of
Satan has been fulfilled, but other ter
rible things are at hand, and ] was
delivered unto death on behalf of those
who sinned in order that they may re-
turn to the truth and sin no more, To
the end that they may inherit the
spiritual. indestructible glory of right
eousness which is in heaven"

THE STOUT WOMAN
AND HER WAISTLINE

For the woman with too much flesh the
girdle or belt Is often the greatest sar-
torial stumbling block. By its manipula-
tion a woman's appearance may be inn
proved or ruined.
One whose waist measures over thirty
inches may successfully dress it by making
a belt-taking a piece Of dress goods, which
should be of light weight, for it-in this
wise:
CUT a strip of whalebone Cor substituted
two inches in length for the back support,
two strips one and one-half inches long for
Sewing at the points under the arms and
two strips each one inch in length for the
ends. The material, If very thin, may be
five inches wide and cut on the straight.
II heavier cloth is used the strip will be
narrower. Gather this in little tuck shir-
rings down to the bone in the back and
gather plainly under the arms at the ends
sewing neatly at the featherbone. 1t is
very important that the bones should be
adjusted exactly; the side ones especially
should be tried at various angles to get
the best Line, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
Hem the edges Of tile strip before shir-
rins. Finish with a buckle or with a
simple shirred heading, closing with hooks
and eyes. The latter is a good finish fol-
a belt OF wash goods.
Such n gifdle should be made as tight
as is comfortable without breaking the
material.
A, delusion of some stout women is tc
imagine that a downward point in the
back is becoming. This is a mistake. A
point at the top of the belt in the back
is an Improvement, but the lower edge
should be as straight and taat as 1t can
be drawn. There may be a dip in the
front, if desired, but never in the back.

EAST SIDE NURSERY TOTS
Enjoy CHRISTMAS PARTY.

About thirty small children of the Fast
Side Day Nursery had a memorable time
last night. when they were the guests OF
honor at the Christmas party, given la the
nursery by the members Of the board Of
TAI and its auxiliary. Alarge Christ
mas tree, donated by the Hamburg Place
School. and trimmed by the auxiliary, was
the centre of attraction, presenting a gay
appearance, with its many colored balls,
lights and strings of popcorn. The room
was adorned with holly, popcorn and fes-
tooris OF red draperies. Games and music
were enjoyed and each child received a
handsome dollie, dressed by one of the aux
Hilary members, a story book and a tarle-
tan stocking. filled with candy.
The mothers were present, and they too
came in for q share OF the goodies and fun.
Miss Gennng, the matron, was made the
recipient of a food chopper, a c%hopping
bowl and an alarm clock, articles needed
in the nursery.
Arrangements were made for the affair
by Mrs. Edward Schroeder, president OF
the board OF managers, Mrs. G. Albert
Gasser, Mrs. William Denbigh. Mrs. Al
gernon L. Sweeney, Mrs. John Howe, Mrs.
III. Sternberger, Mrs. Joseph Steel, Miss
Clara Freund and Mrs. j. Kirkman. The
auxiliary members are Miss FLORENCE Sears,
Miss Miriam Lytell, Miss Helen Violin, Miss
Grace Courter, Miss Helena Tillard, Miss
Helen Laziolette, Miss Anna Wilson and
Miss Ethel Clark. The auxiliary organized
hut recently and has already accomplished
much for the good OF the. nursery. The
members expect to start in Immediately TO
make aprons for the nursery tots. They

membership, which consists chiefly OF High
School girls.

FOR THE WOMAN
WHO SEWS AT HOME

When, making a lined bodice, remember
that the lining itself should be well fitted
to the figure. but the material should be
slightly looser. II it is stretched tightly,
the bodice Is apt to lose its shape, and IL
the stuff be a loosely woven one. it will
give way at the seams and fray out.
In making a blouse, when the front,
back and shoulder seams are made, slip 1t
on and tie a piece OF tape around the
waist, pinning it in the centre of the back
so as to obtain the correct position for
the draw-ribbon or tape.
In order to make a walking skirt of a
correct length. namely. just to clear the
ground without appearing too short, meas
IRE the person to be fitted from the waist
line to the ground, and then deduct one
and a half inches.
1t is a great mistake TO shirk the trouble
of basting and of pressing. The having at
hand of sufficient thread and the frequent
use of a hot iron will often save the situ-
alton.
1t is well to remember that basting
thread of an inferior quality is a much
better investment for the purpose thar a
dearer make; the thread is usually finer
and leaves less mark on delicate fabrics.
Never pull out a basting thread, but cut
the knot first and draw it out by degrees.
A careful seamstress always preserves her
basting threads intact for use again.
In the case OF a plain, all-around skirt,
any superfluous length in the pattern
should be cut off at the foot of each gore.
This is best effected by measuring the
exact length required and marking off the
amount to be cut off at the bottom of the
pattern, tracing a line with a dressmaking
wheel or pencil before beginning 10 use the
scissors.
To lengthen a skirt pattern which is too
short, pin it down, measure off the required
extra length on the newspaper, cut off and
paste to the pattern.

MOBILIZE
Rcgardine %Resolntions.

1t seems to me that more than or
binary self-%conidence is required in the
making of New Year resolutions tend
ing toward self betterment. From the
time a resolve is made, and the world
becomes aware of our efforts to keep
it. you are a marked person. Men,
women and children stand around, all
ready to jeer and scoff in case you do
make a slip, and the resolution goes
to smash.
Encouragement! Not a bit of tt.
They do everything in their power to
convince you that there is no sense In
your trying to make resolves to do or
not to dc certain things since there is
not the slightest possibility of your
having enough backbone to carry
them out.
And you maintain the same attitude
toward your friends. If you hear that
q n of your acquaintance has sworn
off drinking or smoking you sniff a
little and say. at sounds good. I'll

ANN LEADS ALL
CITY HUSBANDS
LIKE HER BEST.
Not One Maud Among Philadelphia's
1907 Brides, According to
Clerks Report.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31,-The Mag
giles, the Marys, the Katies, the Rosies-
they all have their admirers, but they.
and. in fact. all the other girls bow low
to do homage to Ann, whose name Is the
most popular among the brides OF the
year 1907.
Application Clerk Thomas c. Smith, of
the Marriage License Bureau, in his fourth
annual report upon the names of brides
issued today, states that there have been
numerous decided changes in the prefer
ences Of bridegroms. In his report both
for 1904 and 1905 Mary was an easy win
ner; the young men preferTing her over
any of her sisters. Last year Maggie was
the favorIte, with Mary second, and Ann
third place.
h YER Clerk Smiths returns show
that Ann has won first honors, Katie is
second, and Mary. formerly so popular, has
drifted back into seventh place. Maggie,
who won in the contest for popularity last
year, was only third in the race this time,
Clerk Smith places the ten most popular
brides of 1907 In their respective standing,
as follows: Ann. Kate, Maggie. Elizabeth,
Sarah, Carrie, Mary, Rosa, Emma and
Clara. Clerk Smiths report is based upon
licenses issued during the year.
One of the most astonishing statements
in Clerk Smiths report Is in a section de-
voted to the u~npopularity of certain girls
names. The report declares that during the
past year there has been no demand among
the young men of the city for marriage to
maids with the appellstion Adele, Sybil,
Cora. Wirifred. Alma, Irma, Judith. Ada,
Alberta, Refnice, Deborah, Eunice, Fay,
Flavia. MarceIla, Alga, Maud, Ophelia,
Pauline, Roberta. Sylvia, Theresa, Will
helmina, Victoria, Olivia and Hortense. AS
many of these names are the substantial
ones OF the old-fashloned variety. Clerk
Smith states that he is much alarmed Tor
the future Of girls with these applications,
especially as there has been a remarkable
increase in the popularity Of names OF the
modern novel description.

In the Public y

In a way, a good resolution sets a
man a little above his neighbors, and
no one feels this more than he Look
at me-" his mein declares, 81 can make
good resolutions. and keep them, too,
while you, my poor neighbors, haven't
even the strength to make HEM"
This attitude. which he cannot help,
having been born conceited. is the
cause of his friends interest. They
wait joyfuny to see his resolutions
and his arrogance tumble at the same
time. And in his heart he is scared
almost to death. He knows that sooner
or later that resolve is going to be
broken, and that then he will have
to endure the friendly(?) jibes and
taunts of those who know him.
Thus I declare that self-confidence,
and a great deal of 1t, is necessary to
the making of resolutions.
II you make resolves for your self
betterment make them quietly Keep
your determinations strictly TO your
self. so that If you do take a trurnble
It will be done without os~tentation. and
the II told you sos of your friends
will be directed in another direction.
Being naturally weak the great ma
iority of people take the lseenest de-
light in discovering the weaknesses of
others.

FASHIONABLE CoIFFURE.


Unless nature mas provided you with an
abundance of beautiful locks you must buy
the artificial kind to nave the hair properly
dressed. American women abuse their hair
in not giving it the proper treatment and
killing it with alkali washes TO impart the
desired lufiness. The Venetian braid is
something which can be pinned on the hair
and gives a dressy appearance to a low
or high couture. One new method for
dressing the hair is to part it on side,
ruff the sides and fasten the braids over
the back of the head from ear to ear,
above a single Marcel wave extending
from ear to ear. The little enrls worn
back of the right ear is a style for even
ing wear, though one must be a beauty
and faultless dresser to adopt this style.
1t Is very graceful. though, and seen in
the pictures OF most painted beauties af Il
century ago. The little puffs have such a
decidedly artificial appearance that one
who wears them always gives the impress.
sion Of adopting something of a studied
art instead Of anything graceful. The
puffs are pretty. but in most cases are
artificial or made-Vver hair or iute rats
~ pads.

happy New Year!

a happy New Year!
on all sides we hear the familiar
greeting, spoken by people in all walks
of life. Men and women salute n
another: in our homes the glad wish
is offered, and even those who have
little interest in our lives or welfare
wish us the joys of the season.
BY some it is idly spoken, but by the
majority the wish OF the heart accom-
panies the words uttered by the lips,
that happiness and blessings be added
unto us during the year to come.
But what is this happiness that we
wish one another? Is 1t riches, or
health. or success in worldly interests?
1t is all of these, with something else
added: The happiness of a peace that
Is the result of o clear conscience,
clear in the thought that we have full
filled the duties which have come be-
fore us.
A great. many of US make the mis-
take of thinking that happiness de-
Ponds on what the new year will bring
to us. But the right kind of happiness
Is directly the opposite of that, and
depends altogether on what we make
OF our opportunities. II we would be
really happy we must make up u
minds to take cheerfully all that comes
into our lives and to make the best of
1.-THE bitter with the sweet and the
sorrow with the joy. 1t remains with
ourselves whether the new year will
be a happy one, so let us do u part
to make it so. And even If worries and
troubles come, as come they must, let
us meet them bravely and try to find
out If even the gloomiest sorrow has
not a bright side.
Let us start the new year right. Let
us determine that even IL we have
wasted the years that have gone we
will at least make an effort to do bet
ter now. Let us resolve not only to
be happy ourselves, but to endeavor to
make someone else happy.
If we carry out this resolve it will
be a pleasure to stand at the dawn
of another year n look back at 1908.
We will have no regret in doing so and
we win realize in the truest sense that
it was a happy ear.
May you all enjoy a happy New
Year.
