FROM WOMAPS
POINT OF VIEW

There are families where saving IS not
known. and others where il is carried 20
the point OF absUrdity. The few who
strike a happy medium pass Unnouced in
the crowd confess that I know women
who are adopts NJ IL. women who spend
generously where they should. and never
waste a penny Whatever economizing
they DO fails in departments where they
are not felt
Il Is not extravagant to live in accord
ance with ones income. whatever its
Proportions. II is right 20 regard per-
sonal comfort and buy ali that IS re-
quired 20 keep the body comfortable and
the mind easy. II is well 10 look as
pretty as possible on all occasions. but IL
IS not necessary 10 have party frocks that
must be eSed out by pinching on the
clothes which one wears to business or
in the daily performance of duty Of any
kind. The lack Of frippery means moth
ing more than temporary disappointment
not TO be compared with the humiliation
of self or those TO whom a woman's ap-
pearance amounts 10 good deal
The humble little details Of life score
more heavily than we think The lack
of stout pins means insecurity in many
places. We must have body linen, cover
ings for the feet and hands, and the
wherewithal to keep them tidy. A skimp-
ed work basket is almost Q tragedy some
times. and the lack Of shoe strings has
kept at least one woman OF my acquaint-
ance from a pleasure she had anticipated
for weeks. She did not discover the
weakness Of one till too late 10 get an
other and keep her appointment
There are women who go to brilliant
functions so seldom that they regard a
smart frock for such purposes the rank
est extravaganza, particularly after buy-
ing a gown the year before. or two or
three years ago. They win not waste"
money in bringing a relic up to date
so they sacrifice any reputation for style
or prettiness they may have achieved in
everyday life by wearing such a gar
ment for a few hours. II would have
been better to keep away entirely.
It costs a bit of money 10 dress well
in these days. and boarding finery for
daughters and cousins and nieces is a
sacrifice that does not even receive
thanks. Wear your things. my friends.
till they get beyond use, and have as
many more as you can afford Let young
people look after themselves. using their
superior strength in getting what they
need or want A woman who begins TO
sacrifice on her personal appearance for
sons and daughters drops in their esti-
nation just as sure as the sun rises
The shabby wife and her well-dressed hus-
band are commcn sights. and always she
has the mean position in the grouping.
A few shabby men with splendid wives
are learning the truth in an unpleasant
fashion. They are in perpetual mire Of
debt, and are neither loved nor respected
by the women who keep them there
They lacked the moral strength to live a
rational life. dividing an income so that
II would cover needs-and wants. when it

fashion. Thousands Of men and women

1.-THE second Sabbath in February has
been set apart as the day of prayer for
students in the colleges and universities
Of the whole world" said DR.. wadsworth,
land this brings me to the subject Of the
ideal college. The chief elements to be
sought in the Christian college are char
acter culture and knowledge, and the
possibility OF bringing the students of the
world toward thte advancement of the
kingdom Of God.
THE popular impression of the college
is that II Is a sort of reservoir Of knowl-
edge into which the student must get and
absorb therefrom all the knowledge he can
hold. believe the average college presl-
dent of today. II he were required to take
the examination for the freshman class as
is required today, would fail in the ex-
animation unless he could have some weeks
for preparation that he might refresh him
self.
life is the development of character. A
misapplied education had better never been
acquired where its use Is applied to tear
down rather than build up. Education
without religion makes man an intellectual
devil. Education should be applied to
make the man more of a man. Character
is better than reputation. The chief pur-
pose of life is to get right with God. The
chief purpose of the college is to produce
character Lincoln was a man who was
his, own college. He was a man who could
not be kept down by any lack of educa-
ton. His was the education, self-made, of
character The college member, while he
must have knowledge, must also have
character
Colleges should have Christian men on
their faculties. The Bible is the greatest
of text books. It is great in every element
of poetry, art and literature. Any college
that belittles the Bible is not a At place
for our young men to be- The essentials
of wisdom are knowledge culture and
