Wall-paper
 borders cut out; a demonstration.

Cut-out borders are prob ably the handsomest addi- tion to wall decoration pro duced in a long time. But their cost has heretofore been almost prohibitive. The work has been done by hand and only an expert worker could do it properly. There has just been devised al clever device which makes the work simple and easy and which reduces the cost of the finished border very much.
 This device is operated by electricity. It does perfect work. Results are secured with it that are almost-mar- vicious. It is to be exhibited at a special table on the main floor of the store Fri, day. It will be shown in actual use. You can see how well it does it's work. You will see why the store can sell cut-out borders at the prices it does. And we will cut out free any border pur- shased Friday or Saturday.
 With the demonstration will be exhibited some com- binations of these borders with side-wal coverings. They are especially rich with self-toned papers, with plain cha1mbrays and with quiet stripes.
 These various sorts will be shown. And at the same time we shall be ready to plan special decorations with folks who wish individ- ual and rich work.

DECISIONS BY
 JUDGE CURTIS

 Mary A. Gelsen of Easton was all lowed S5S9.A and costs in her contest with James. A. Stokes of East Main street, who was administrator of the estate of his father John E. Stokes.

"THE CHRISTIAN
 HOME" SUBJECT
 OF FATHER WALSH
Despite UnfavOrable Weather l,O0e Wo.
 men Thronged St. Mary's Church.
Successful Mission Being Conducted by Fathers Moran and Walsh of
 Paulist Order.

A thousand women crowded St. Mary's church last night to attend the fourth evening service of the mission which the Paulist Fathers are conduct ing. This splendid attendance despite the unfavorable weather is good evil dence of the spirit which pervades the parish.
 Nor is this a momentary enthusiasm aroused by impassioned preacher. Last night Father Walsh preached on ''The Christian Home.' from the text "He who hath not the care of his own but especially those of his own household, has lost the faith and has become worse than an infidel."
 ''The Christian Home" said Father Walsh, is a divine institution, made holy by the Sacrament of Marriage. The Christian Home is one of the sane tuaries esta blished by God among men, It is one of the great means of spread ing Christianity and teaching it, and the parents when true to their sacred trusts are real Apostles of Jesus Christ, and because they have done the work of apostles shall have the rewards of apostles.
 Since the home is of such a definite religious character it is plain that both the father and mother should be- Heve alike There are few other evils more disastrous to peace of mind and heart and conscience than the mar riage of Catholics to non-Catholics. There are exceptions of course, but a priest of any experience knows that among the saddest cases brought to his attention are those resulting from so- called mixed maria ges.
 The home to fulfill it's mission must be permanent. There can be no such thing as divorce and remarria ge. Christ has laid down the law emphaticaEy. He who puts away his wife and mar ries again while that wife lives com mits adultery, and he who marries her who is thus divorced also commits adultery Thanks be to God the Cath olic Church, believing in this word of Christ condemning divorce, has by His power kept the Church absolutely free of it and has become before the world the great champion of the marriage bond. I speak to continue the warning of the Church. You are surrounded by people who believe in and practice di- vorce to degree notable even in this age of notorious divorces. If I mistake not the State of Conn. is one of the foremost in disregarding the law of God in this matter. Hence you need warning lest the evil of this scandalous practice influence you No state can long prosper that so disre- gards Gods law. We should be proud that Catholics have no part in this, and should strive to make this the boast of Catholic generations yet to come.

Boys really fine shoes.

One maker had courage to make only fine shoes for boys.
 Had to have lots of cour- age to do it. Others had done the same thing and failed.
 But he did it. And suc- ceeded.
 That was because he went ahead of the other folks. He made his shoes finer of looks as we'll as finer of quality. He put nice leather into them. He put nice work in- to them. But the other folks did that-yet, they failed.
 But he put Individuality into them; and they had not. He had his shoes patterned specially for boys. He stud jed their needs and their likes as the maker of fine women s shoes studies what will be best for women.
 Because he did this, he won. And his shoes are here; here for boys, and boys parents, who want reall y fine shoes.
