SETTING OFF DINING TABLE
New Patterns in Cut Glass Are Formed
In Imitation of Beautiful
Flowers.

1t is not usual for new patterns in
cut glass to come in very pIentifuIly
but the designers and manufacturer.
ers have united in recent effort and
we are shown three beautiful flowers
in the newest glass dishes for our
dining tables. We have the daisy,
with butterfly lowering above it In
most graceful and perfect design,
made in various-shaped vessels, both
tall and fat
Then we have the Scotch thistle
which is unique in cut glass, and the
clover leaf and blossom SO perfect in
the cutting that we wonder there is
not more persistent effort to re.
produce every available flower.
Another and a greater wonder Is
that SO many housewives are given to
sheltering all of these beautiful dishes
-perchance from the careless hands
of seryants-until the mere posses
sion" of them has got to be mania
1t is really better to get the good out
Of things than to drift gradually into
what is known as "a slave to your
possessions.
Cut glass should be cleansed in
soapsuds and then polished with saw,
dust and chamois skin.

SMART STOCK EASY TO MAKE
One of the Prettiest Of the Season
Calls for Comparatively
Small Outlay.

One of the smartest of the new
stocks is so easily copied that almost
any girl can make herself one at small
cost.
The collar and a long strip reach
ing to the bust line is of semi-trans.
parent Japanese linen. Both sides of
the collar and strip are finished in an
irregular scallop buttonholed in deep
tone of old blue This also runs around
the bottom of the strip, which forms
a semi-circle.
The center of collar and strip are
worked in detached, ive-petaled
flowers interspersed with dots of diff
ferent sizes.
Surrounding the strip and making
the ruching for the top of the collar
is footing or fine net. This is turned
in narrow hem an eighth of an inch
deep, which is run with the three
shades used in embroidery. This
stitching may either be outlining or, as
the rutfle is plated and takes quite a
length of material, it can be done on
the machine if you have one which
makes chain stitch.
The plating around the long tab is
about three-quarters of an inch wide,
while that used as ruching in narrow
enough to be becoming.

Safety Pocket for TraveIIna,

Safety pockets for jewels and
money are a necessity for the woman
travelling. frequently they are made
to belt on the waist under the blouse;
sometimes to be fastened to the garter
under the knee, and sometimes to be
strapped around the neck. Good ones
are made of chamois skin, securely
Tapped, pinned and buttoned. Some
dainty ones are made of embroidered
linen, lined with chamois to make
them secure. Other patterns of safe.
ty pockets have bands around the
waist, while the pocket is attached
with band to the belt.

Develops Best Within lie.

Too much of our thought is apt to
be busy with nfe's mysteries. We
stretch hands into the darkness trying
to grasp forbidden things; and are SO
absorbed in the pursuit of the un-
known that we lose interest in what
we know; and fail to value what is
close at hand. We do not realize that
Gods wide creative purpose holds pos
sibilities for the development of the
best in us just where We may have
been placed; and that the revelation
needed for the souls highest and
broadest experience may be found in
the daily round of care and duty.
There are simple natures, without any
but the most common endoWments OF
intellect, but with pure hearts, with
a childlike willingness to follow the
great Leader, who have heard whis-
pers from the highest, and have re.
ceiVed illumination through mind and
heart without wandering from their
place.

SERMONETTE.

j Mattathias is entitled 60 q
i place amongst the heroes of
j faith enumerated In the eIev-
] erth chapter of Hebrews.
] After giving the long list of
j heroes, Paul excIaims: .,.
j "And what shall | more say7
j for the time would fail me to
j tell of Gideon, and of Barak
] and of Samson and of Jephthae,
j of David also, and Samuel, and
j of the prophets. Who through
j faith subdued k ngd o m s,
j wrought righteousness, obtained
] promises, stopped the mouths of
] lions, quenehed the violence of
j fire, escaped the edge of the
y sword, out of weakness were
j made strong, waxed valiant in
j fight, turned to flight the arm
j les Of the aliens. Women re-
j celved their dead raised to life
j again: and others were tor
] tured; not accepting deliver
j ance; that they might obtain
j better resurrection. And 9TH
j era had trial of cruel mockings
] and scourgings, yea, moreover
] Of bonds and imprisonment.
j They were stoned, they were
sawn asunder, were tempted,
were slain with the sword: they
/ wandered about in sheep-skins,
and goat-skins; being destitute,
afflicted, tormented; (of whom
the world was not Worthy:)
they wandered In deserts, and
in mountains, and in dens and
caves at the earth." There can
be no question, although un-
named, that Mattathias and his
noble sons are to be included
amongst these.
Notwithstanding persecution
and trial and suffering, there is
a sense of security in knowing
that one is in Gods hands and
that ultimate victory is with
him. The Third Psalm Is ex-
pressive Of this:
"Lord, how are they Increased
that trouble me! many are they
that rise up against me.
"Many are they which say of
my soul, There is no help for
him in God.
"But thou, o Lord, art a shield
for me; my glory and the litter
up of mine head.
n cried unto the Lord with
my voice, and ne heard me out
of his holy hill.
~ laid mo down and slept;
aWaked; for the Lord sus-
tanned me.
~ will not be afraid of ten
thousands of people, that have
set themselves against me
round about.
Arise, Q Lord; save me, o my
God: for thou hast broken the
teeth of the ungodIy.
Salvation belongeth unto the
Lord: thy blessing is upon thy
people,"

THE STORY.

A MONG all the families of Judah
n there was none more noble. or
more honorable than the family of
Mattathias. He was of the line of
the priests, having his place in the
first of the "a courses of the priest.
hood. among the sons of Joarib.
Now Mattathias was very devout,
and a sincere worshiper of the God
of Israel. He refused to conform In
any degree to the liberal conditions
which had come to prevail among
many of his people. He strove to
maintain the worship of God accord
ing to the laws and ordinances given
by Moses. 1t brought great sorrow
to his heart to see SO many of the
Jews conforming to the customs of
the heather and making alliances
with them, and when Antiochus Epi.
phanes came into power and the
heavy hand of persecution was felt
against the Jews who did not wnrshin
and serve the heather gods. Malta
this strove more earnestly than ever
before to stem the tide of irreligion.
and hold his people to loyalty to the
true God.
Now Mattathis had five sons az
follows: Joannan, called Caddis.
Simon, called Thassi; Judas. who
was called Maccabeus: Eleazar
called Avaran, and Jonathan. whose
surname was Apphus. OF these Judas
was the most devout and the most
able on the field of battle as was clear
ly proved after his fathers death.
and the burden of the movement for
the deliverance of his people rested
upon him. The wisdom Of his IA
TIERS choice in namingg him as his
successor was thus made manifest .
But to return to Mattathias. As we
said he stood firm against the en-
croachments of the heather customs
and refused in any way to make al
lianees with the heather. and his in
fluence was SO great that he kept
many faithful to the true God. This
proved source Of great annoyance

When the west was in its heyday, Bret Harte came to chronicle its pieturesqueness, it's rugged manliness its pathos in his immortal prose. To- day the west has changed from be- ing the colored setting of mining camps and rolling ranges; it is a new west, which Progress has already made her own. How the change came imperceptibly at first then re- lentlessly as doom; how it affected the men of the time, the cowboy, the desperado, the rancher; and how a winsome, headstrong girl was so- lace to one whose heart was in the ange-land-these are some of the things which are made plain in "The Long Shadow" a complete novel in the March number of The Popular Magazine, by B.
