Girls French Dress.

The French, or long wasted, dress
is always becoming to the younger
girls, and is SO pretty and graceful
that it is very general favorite.
This one can be made adapted to
party and dancing school wear or to
everyday use as one material or an
other is chosen and as one trimming
or another is used. AS illustrated
the frock is dressy one made with
short sleeves and the material is fine
white lawn with trimming of en-
broidery, but in the back view 1t is
shown made from bright red yelling
with frills of ribbon and becomes q
very much more durable, everyday
garment. For the more dressy frocks
white Is always charming, and the
younger children wear washable ma
terials at all seasons, but for the
slightly older girls cashmere or veil
ing in such colors as pale blue and
pink are much to be commended with
the trimming of ribbon and the yoke
of some pretty lingerie material or a
simple lace or embroidered net. For
everyday wear dark colored cash.

The Secret Of Power for Service
Mark I. $3.50; Luke 6. 1916;
Nah az


Jesus went often into quiet, soil
tary places for prayer. He did not
love the solitude for It's own sake,
but because there he could collect
those supplies of spiritual strength
which he bestowed so freely on all
who had need. His hours of secret
prayer were always followed by days
of unstained service. SO he went
into the desert place to hold converse
with the Father, and then came back
to heal and to save the multitude.
The desert explained the crowd. and
the crowd explained the desert.
1t was no small event, this appoint
ing of the twelve All the church
history of nineteen centuries harks
back to that simple but infinitely sig
niflcant moment. No wonder Jesus
spent the whole night in prayer. He
who was not willing to speak words
of comfort to q handful of peasants
until he had first gone apart for lone
ly prayer, was no more willing to ap-
point his apostles until he had first
taken them and their work to the
throne.
Nehemiah knew the combination
that opens the door to success; pray
er plus work-work plus prayer. He
and his followers were too busy, and
the work was too urgent, to justify
a camp meeting or protracted re.
vival effort They had to work.
And, as they also had to pray, they
met the emergency fairly, and did
both at once. Who shall say what
helped them most? If they hadn't
prayed, they would have failed. II
they hadn't builded, they would have
failed. But with prayer and labor
they discouraged their enemies, and
built up Jerusalem's wall.
1t can be stated two ways, but
read backward or forward 1t means
the same. If you don't work for
God, it is no use to pray to God;
conversely, II you don't pray, 1t Is no
use to work.
And the two must be related.
prayer In general is not the com.
plete preparation for a definite task.
General religious activity is not the
best outcome of season of prayer,
Jesus prayed; then he healed. Jesus
prayed; then he appointed apostles,
Nehemiah prayed; then he piled his
trowel among the stones and mortar
of the city wall. And in all these
cases it is fair to suppose-in one II
is so stated-that the prayer bore
directly on the deed.
A prayer meeting that looks for,
and has, no fruitage in service, in in.
spring people to holier living. in
helpfulness, is a prayer meeting that
may flourish but 1t means nothing.
1t is barren fig tree.

Select large oysters. Drain them
on a cloth or napkin, turning them
from side to side to make them as
dry as possible. Meanwhile soften
some butter and season some crack
er crumbs with salt and pepper.
Then, holding each oyster on fork,
dip 1t into the crumbs, then into the
melted butter, and again into the
crumbs. Arrange them in an oyster
broiler (Which differs from ordinary
broilers by having the wires closer
together) and broil over a hot FIRE
for about two minutes, turning the
broiler every few seconds. They
should not be shrivelled, but plump,
soft, tender and juicy.-New York
