Address by Secretary Bulge.

D. A. Bulge, general secretary of the
Montreal Y. NJ. {. A., gave a most in
teresting address at a union service at
the South church Sunday evening. The
pastor of the church had charge of the
service, the scriptures were read by Rev
A. H. Gage, the prayer was offered by
Principal Rowland of the Academy the
chairman of the devotional committee
and the closing prayer by Rev. George
W. c. HILL Mr.. Bulge first gave a
graphic historical sketch of the rise of
the association. He said in the first 25
years of its existence its object was
largely evangelistic, while in the last 80
years the building era had been in
augurated. In ~ the railroad branch
was naugurated which now enrolled
10000 members. In II another door
was opened and there were now between
10000 and 10000 college students in
the various college associations. In SO
the foreign door opened and there are
now 70 men in the foreign field. In '98
another door opened and the army and
navy have the Y. NJ. c. A. The latest
door is the industrial and county work
The association stands for the cultiva.
ton and development of the normal
christian life. 1t is allied to the princi-
Piles of the evangelical church. 1t is a
counter attraction to the agencies that
are destructive to the boys and men. 1t
solves the leisure problem and the
stranger problem. 1t relates itself to the
individual. 1t supplements the work of
the home, the school and the civic life.
1t has a national and International in
auence. These, Mr. Bulge said, were
some of the features that made the Y. M.
c. A. an asset to a community and any
town or city was to be congratulated
that had an association in its midst.

ARMLETS OF GOLD OR SILVER.
Metal CircIets to Be Feature of the
Winters Fashions.

Armlets will be in vogue this sea-
son and they will be an entirely new
fashion. By this is not meant the sim
Pile band of black. velvet which every
now and then becomes stylish, but the
metal circlet of classic origin worn by
all women of martial aspirations In
olden days, from Boadicea to Brun-
hide, and which at times in the mod
ern period has been affected by bellies
of all countries. The new, or, rather,
revived, armlet comes in gold, silver,
platinum and copper When of the
last-named metal, it is lined with vel
vet to protect the flesh; but If made
of any of the first three it is worn next
the skin. 1t is a broad band of the
plain metal Not a single jewel must
be set in. Its cleaning surface must
clasp the arm midway of shoulder and
elbow. OF course, only the woman
with rounded arm can wear 1t. 1t is
out of the question for woman
whose biceps are either lumpy or fiat.
But on a well-rounded arm it is
thing of beauty, and, carping critics
to the contrary Notwithstanding, there
are many women in New York so
equipped.

Ways to Alter skirts.

In making garments for girls 1t is
always important to arrange for
frightening the same.
First-One of the usual methods lie
to have series of tucks at the hem.
This is somewhat of a trimming and
later proves convenient by letting out
the tucks, one or more, as is required.
Second--If the dress or skirt is
plain the hem may be let down and a
facing put under.
Third-If number two does not give
sufficient length, then instead of fac.
ing when letting out the hem add an
extension hem that will give the
necessary length, being careful to
match the design If there is any in
the material. A row of feather
stitching may be made over the join
ing or finishing braid may be placed
over 1t.
Fourth-Several rows Of insertion
may be set in near the bottom of the
skirt.
Fifth-For girls little older, a cir
cular or pointed yoke may be put In
at the top of the skirt.

PLANTS NEED LITTLE CARE.
Do Better When Left Alone and Not
"Coddled."

Do not make the mistake of think.
ing your plants are about to die be-
cause they seem to droop when first
brought indoors In the fall
A florist says that more beginners
lose their foliage plants from fear than
from disease. The changed surround
ings cause the foliage to turn yellow;
often few leaves drop.
There is no cause for alarm IL ma
ture is allowed to have its innings; in
few weeks the plants begin to look
up. But the anxious owner at once
begins dosing. She treats her sickly
plants to liquid manure and other fer
tilizers, and they soon become dys.
peptic.
It is safe rule to remember that
no plant should be fertilized when not
In a growing state. When, after q
week or two, the house plants become
adjusted to their surroundings, they
should be given food. but not before

About HARDNESS.

There is no more beneficial tonic
than good, hearty laughter. 1t in.
flates the lungs and has a magic eff
feet upon the system. Giggling is not
laughing, and it is habit that brings
wrinkles and soon spoils even pretty
face.
Why not laugh? 1t improves the ap-
pearance and makes one popular.
There is nothing to be glum over, and
If there is being glum will not help 1t.
Be happy and bright and everyone
will wish to help you.
The girl who wants to be beautiful
must sleep with fresh air, plenty of it,
In her room. She must go out and
revel in the sunshine. She must find
plenty of laughter in her daily life,
that is the only true way to live and
the only way capable of bringing
beauty.

Women and Weather.

No truth could be more self-evident,
we believe, than that woman does not
get square meteorological deal In
this world. Her sufferings when man
carries the umbrella in q shower may
be gagged only by the cost and be-
comingness of her new hat, on which
the raindrops drip with sad and ex.
pensive splash. Invariably Easter is
too cold for her new spring raiment
and lingering autumn too warm for
her furs. Bravely does she strive to
defy the seasons and their attendant
elements by meeting low temperatures
with low shoes, and she matches the
upward soaring of the mercury with
collars that attain their highest alti-
tude in awful August. But the cost!
No man, we are sure, could realize
what woman suffers in and for her
clothes.

Many Missed Opportunity.

One of Australia's colonists, vet
eran of 80 years, has just published
his "reminiscences. While walking up
George street, Sydney, in 1885, he
heard bellman announcing the first
sale of allotments in the new town
ship and predicted that it would be
grand city some day. Eyes, city of
kangaroos," interjected a scoffing spec
tator. Hardly bid could be elected.
A few years later the gold discoveries
did rapidly convert the township of
Melbourne into a great city and the
lucky people who had bought allot-
ments for 800 or $3.50 found their
value increased to 100000, $3.50, 900
and in some cases even $25O,00O.

IN THE JOYOUS HOLIDAY TIME.
Man Evidently Was Satiated with the
Delights of Vacation.

Il is related in Mr.. Stewart Edward
Whites book, THE Mountains" that
once upon a time man happened to
be staying in hotel room which had
originally been part of a snite, but
which was then cut off from the 9TH
ers by only a thin door, through
which sounds carried clearly.
It was about eleven o'clock when the
occupants of that next room came
home. The man heard the door open
and close. Then the bed shrieked
aloud as somebody fell heavily upon it,
There breathed across the silence a
profoundly deep sigh.
Mary" said the mans voice, I'm
might sorry didn't join that Associa-
ton for Artificial Vacations. They un-
dertake to get you just as tired and
just as mad in two days as you could

Design for Costumes of SILK and Cloth.

Design Tor Costumes OF SIX and Cloth.
A costume of changeable silk and
white linen that will be copied a
month hence In Ottoman silk and
cloth or velvet and cloth was quite
charming and novel. Over an under
dress of finely-tucked white linen (the
tucks lengthwise) was worn a prin-
cess silk overdress, perfectly molding
the figure. The armholes were cut to
shape little over the top of the tight
tucked sleeves of the underdress; in
front the bodice was cut into a high
square and buttoned double breasted
for four or five inches; below it was
cut out to show wide girdle of black
silk, buckled with a linen-covered
buckle. Below this opening the clos
ing line continued on the skirt, half
way to the knees, then it sloped
away sharply to the back to show
much of the underdress.

To Remove Knots.

If loop forms on the thread when
hemming or overhanding, hold the
thread firmly as 1t comes from the ma
terial, put the needle into the loop,
the thread on tension, and the
loop will disappear; remove the
needle, pass the thread through the
fingers from the material toward the
needle, and the knot will be removed,
and you have been spared much an
noyance and perhaps breaking your
thread. Always hold the thread firmly
at the material.
