Leakesville, the Friday and Saturday
before and the Second Sunday, in
Guiding Monday of January. DR..
Godbey is too well-known from his
numerous books on salvation, and
re putation generally as giant of the
pulpit of the South, to need introduc-
ton at our hands. He has travelled
pretty well over all the South nu-
merous times evangelizing; and has
thrice visited the Holy Land and
been round the Globe. LeakeSville
is fortunate to secure him at all. Ar
rargements are made for him to
preach in the Methodist Church
South.
A program of interest. consisting
of special songs, recitations, reel
tations, scripture readings etc., was
given at the Southern Methodist
Church last Sunday night by the

Possibly it would take good deal
of recollection upon the part of all

Old Idea Revived.

A pretty way of trimming muslin
and lace 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 a soft
satin ribbon, some two or three inches
in width, this ribbon being threaded
through it at intervals of about a foot.
tied into pretty bows. but these are
not left on a level with the beading.
They are pulled through so that the
bow hangs down over the lace. the lit
tie ends having a ball of floss silk to
Anish them off, with bunch of fringe
falling from the center Of each ball.
These loosely hanging bows look very
quaint against the lace background

It TO make herself a jumper. A double
thickness over each shoulder. from the
waist line in the front TO the waist line

garment. while a few strips across the
back and front give the whole a very
jumper-like appearance.
The four loops at the waist line
formed by the shoulder straps are used
to slip the belt through. SO. when 1t is
worn with a white skirt and blouse
the effect is OF one of the popular one

II is really surprising how few wo

although this was considered a neces

he raw edges OF goods and 1t is most
important that II be evenly and neatly
urned down: always turn It toward
'Ou. To do this. turn down one-Quar-
er of an inch all along the edge and
iaste 1t on the crease with even bast-
ng stitches.
Take a stiff piece of cardboard and
mark on II the exact width OF the
Iem. Place the edge OF the creased
cardboard at the creased edge of the
ioods and mark the desired width
Sith n thread. using the short and
long basting stitci.. Fold the hem on
this line of thread and baste TO the
material along the upper edge with an
even basting. In hemming do not use
a knot. Hold the hem across the end
Of the forefinger of the left hand
Point the needle toward you, to the
right. and insert 1t under the edge OF
he hem close TO the right hand. Draw
the needle through. leaving an end
OF the thread to be tucked under the
edge.
To begin the hemming stitch. point
the needle toward the middle of the
left thumb and take up one thread OF
the cloth and the same of the fold To
have the thread slant In the right di-
rection. see that each time a stitch is
taken that the needle points directly
across the middle of the left thumb
To have the hem appear well when
finished care must be taken TO have
the distance between each stitch ex.
actly the same.-Exchange.

The sexton OF one church that keeps
open doors all day long didn't know
whether to regard the matter in the
light of a desecration or devotional
exercise. He paid no attention when
the three women, watched by man
who stood at the lower end OF the
aisle. walked the length of the church
and back again. Even when they made
the trip a second time he scarcely gave
them 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.

man replied. Il am physical culture
