1.-THE use of the Episcopal ceremony
by a Presbyterian minister is not un-
usual. I will venture the assertion that
it is read a score of times in the course
of a day by clergymen of the Presbyte-
rian faith in marrying couples. Pres
byterian ministers are not restricted to
the use of the ritual of their church.
They are at liberty to read the mar
riage form which best suits them.
'In marriage ceremonies I use. and

disposal, I always have left out some
parts which to laymen might seem
strange. There is one phrase which I

Then, tell me, why should a woman

This declaration was made yesterday
by the Rev. DIR. Leslie L. Overman IN

more than a dozen various forms which
he used.

chinnette. This is an all-wool ma
terial, somewhat on the order of a

The neck Of a dress intended for even

should be cut V-shaped in front and
square in the back. The opening may
be filled In with lace or tulle.
The unders1ip is still an important
item in the little girls wardrobe. The

Blue of all shades promises to pre-
dominate In children's dressing frocks.

Are Women Liars?

Every third person you meet now
adays has much to say as to whether
or not women are liars.
It is a question which cannot be an
swered with a direct yes or no. Lik
the majority of things which concern
women at all depends"
I think all men and -gomen are more
or less inclined to hb about certain
things. For instance, l have met few
men who were not inclined to enlarge
upon stories of personal accomplish
ments, especially where deeds OF
prowess were concerned. And women
often verge from the path of truth
for the sake and the saving of then
pride. They tell splendidly sounding
tales of how we'll they are treated by
their husbands, when all the neighbor-
hood is talking of the way they are
neglected or perhaps abused.
Some lie through fear. The other day
l heard of a girl who was Gus oil
doing some trif1ing thing against the
rules of the school she attended. she
was accused falsely, but when the
principal asked her sternly whether she
were guilty she went into a sort OF
panic and TREMENDOUSLY answered yes
And when she had recovered her
nerve she stuck to her reply and
took her punishment rather than con-
fradict herself and let the principal
know that she had lied.

Under oath.

It seems to me that no woman could
or would deliberately lie after taking
a solemn oath to tell the truth, the
whole truth, etc., unless she had pre-
viously reasoned that by so doing she
would be working for the ultimate
good of all concerned.
And there is the rub. You cannot
be sure. You have to know the woman.
A woman's way of reasoning differs
greatly from that of a man. Ii she
thought a case over and concluded, If
this man did not mean to do such and
such a thing, and IL by lying l can
save him from punishment and give
him another chance to make the best
of his life," she would be liable to lie
in his favor II she stood on a tack
OF Bibles. Moreover, she would sincere
ly feel that such a lie was no lie at
all. And If she positively felt that she
was not lying, could you call her a
liar?
