An Enulish Dinner.

Some time ago a reader asked for
menu to be served to some English
friends, to be typical of their own
country.
This is what our neighbors across
the water would probably serve: First,
soup, clear or thick; then fish, baked
or broiled, served whole, garnished
with lemon, parsley, or sauce; game
or roasted fowl with celery would be
next, followed by roast Of beef, or
leg Of mutton with mashed potatoes
and one other vegetable like aspara-
gus or caulifoWer. The salad would
be plain greens of some kind with q
French dressing, never mayonnaise.
Sometimes the salad is served with
the roast. For dessert, delicate pud-
dings, fresh fruits, a water ice, sell
dom ice cream; in the season, mince
pie and plum pudding are favorites.
Cheese Of all kinds will be in evi-

Cloth as Ornament,

Cloth trimming On tussores gives a
smart effect if not overdone, and it is
heralded now even for linens and mar
quisettes. Short skirts, which usually
look best with the least possible trim
ming, are now aping tunic lines. They
take off from the height Of the wearer,
however. Coat and skirt costumes are
holding first favor, and many of the
black and white cloths in checks and
stripes are used for short skirts, and
colored silks or cloths for the coats,
while coat matching the skirt looks
extremely well with some contrasting
cloth trimmings put upon the coat, and
perhaps long panel lines upon the skirt

Some of the new millinery models
show the crowns made of braid in
charming new colors, while the brims
are developed of chip, hemp, yedda,

Queer aRnndsv of Matrimonu

A young couple, natives of Ceylon,
appeared recently before a magistrate
in Ohio and asked to be married. All
the forms required by the state were
complied with, but before the law Of
ficer could perform the ceremony a
witness who came with the couple
bound the thumbs of the contracting
parties together. They explained that
in their country the act of fastening
man to a woman by the thumb was
sufficient marriage ceremony.

Fine linen and lace lingerie should
have no place in the motorists box, as
Is takes up altogether too much room,
muses. readily and cannot be hastily
laundered. All underwear should be
soft silk, like China or pongee,
trimmed simply or outlined about the
neck and sleeves with feather stitch
ing. Such garments are easily rolled
and pushed into odd corners, and if
washed out the last thing at night will
be perfectly dry by morning.

SERMONETTE.

Elisha, In the amounting of
Jehu, carried out the commits
sion which had been given to
Elijah over 20 years before.
Thus are we reminded that
Gods plans extend beyond the
Iife-span of any one man, and
we also find illustration of the
words OF Jesus: "I sent you to
reap that whereon ye bestowed
no labor; other men Iabored,
and ye are entered into
their Iabors." Paul was con-
scious of how the Divine tran
scended the human when he
wrote to the believers at Cor
inth: ~ have planted, ApoIIos
watered; but God gave the in
crease. So then neither is he
that pIanteth any thing, neither
he that watereth; but God that
giveth the Increase"
God reveals his plans only to
those of his servants who in
faith and patience can wait Gods
time of fuIfIIment.
The wicked house of Ahab,
and that wickedest of wicked
women, JezebeI, the wife of
Ahab, must have been a griev-
GUS trial to the prophet Elisha.
) 1t must have taken a vast
amount of the grace of God and
of faith to have waited through
5 those long years for the COM
ing of the righteous judg-
nent of God upon such wicked
ness. How often perhaps dur
ing those years the impatient
impulse must have seized
Elisha to go to Jehu and tell
him of Gods plan for him, so
that 1t would hasten his efforts
to seize the kingdom. But as
often would come the con-
sciousness that man must wait
the fuIlness of Gods time, and
that to attempt to force the
hand of God, as one might say,
would be to invite not only fail
ure, but shame and dlshonor.
Mo, the prophet must patiently
bide Gods time. He must wait
through the years and slowly
but surely see the Wickedness
of the house of Ahab come to
it's full fruition. Persecution,
trial, famine and the pestilence
of war must be endured. With
the Psalmist, Elisha could say:
"I had tainted, unless had be-
lieved to see the goodness of
the Lord in the land of the liv-
inq." But at Iast-there is al
ways an at last with the Lord
the time comes when God
speaks and the prophet acts.
Then is that fulfilled concerning
which God had spoken so many,
many years before, and the war
rior Jehu who so unconsciousIy
had been growing and develop
ing through The years to fit into
Gods plans, suddenly flashes
forth as the avenging hand of
Gods judgment upon the
wicked.
Jehu showed commendabIe
zeal in behalf of moral and re-
Iieious reform in Israel, but In
his personal life and conduct he
fell short of the. measure of
Gods desire for him, as does
many another modern day re-
former. 1t is recorded of Jehu
that notwithstanding his cour-
ageous and energetic crusade
against the great evils that were
cursing the land of Israel, he
"took no heed to walk in the
law of the Lord God of Israel, !:
with all his heart" 1t fs
great thing to be identified with
great reform, but how sad at
the last to be shut out from
fellowship with the God whom
position and ability has en-
abled one to serve.
