USED CHURCH AS scHooLRoom
Proceedings That Somewhat Aston
ished the Sexton.

The sexton OF one church that keeps
open doors all day long didn't know
whether TO regard the matter in the
light OF n desecration or a devotional
exercise. He paid no attention when
the three women, watched by a man
who stood nj the lower end OF the
aisle. walked the length OF the church
and back again. Even when they made
the trip q second time he scarcely gave
them a thought. but when the trio
started around the church third time
and the man called out, Step little
more briskly. please" he began to
wonder. and presently made inquiry.
Il hope you won't be offended the
man replied. Il am physical culture
instructor. am teaching these young
ladies' to walk. I have already taught
them TO walk In the street, In the
drawing room. in the theater and every
place else they are likely TO find them
selves. l am now teaching them 10
walk in church. Very few women can
walk there properly. Some iope, some
swagger. some skip. others adopt a
mincing gait. All these styles are
very inappropriate for church. A dig
nified. subdued gait alone Is suitable
for devotional purposes. Church is
the best place for pupils in walking 10
receive practical instruction. therefore
have brought them here"
Great fathers!" gasped the sexton.
What next?'
But he said no more till the walk
ing exercise was ended. Then he fol.
lowed the class to the door.
Il hope" he said. you will practice
the lesson learned to-day by coming
here TO church once In a while"

OF her latest audiences. an anecdote
about friend OF hers.
This friend. n thin and nervous
woman. could not sleep. She visited
her physician and the man said:

piled.

Old Idea Revived.

A pretty way of trimming n mus,,n
ana iace frock is by heading the deep
insertion OF lace on the skirt (the band
OF dentelle so beloved Of Paris) with a
beading wide enough to admit n soft
satin ribbon, some two or three inches
IN width, this ribbon being threaded
.nrough 1t at intervals of about n foot
tied into pretty bows, but these are
not left on level with the beading.
ihey are pulled through SO that the
pow hangs down over the lace, the lit.
tie ends having ball of floss silk to
nnish them on, with a bunch Of fringe
falling from the center of each bali.
fhese loosely hanging bows look very
quaint against the lace background
