SCHEME OF PANsY DECORATION
Charming Novelty for the Next Lunch
con You May Give.

A decoration for a luncheon that is
seldom seen. yet which may be made
very charming, is a low silver bowl
filled with pansies in all colors. If the
stems are not specially long, a piece
of wire netting can be placed over the
top Of the bowl and the pansies stuck
in it.
The effect is enhanced If the bowl
is set on a large, round mirror sur
rounded with a border of small ferns.
At each pSate have a small pot of
growing pansies, which may later be
given as souvenirs. These look well
if the pots are set in small paper cases
made of stiff cardboard covered with
silver paper.
Should there be a guest of honor,
her plants may be larger than the 9th
er, or the case can be a small silver
jardiniere.
The candle shades should carry out
the predominating tones of the
pansies. Silver candlesticks should be
used If possible. Effective shades can
be made of white paper garlanded
with artificial pansies.

THE CATHOLIC MISSION
GROWS IN INTEREST

At the mission for non-Catholics at St.
Mary's church a number of interesting
questions were answered Monday night
by Father Rankin. Among the ques-
tons were the following: What is the
meaning of the pictures around the in
terror OF the church? What is the sig
niicance of the large black cross,
draped in white, erected in the church
during the mission? What does the
ceremony of benediction mean? IL
Catholics invite their non-CatholiC
friends to go 70 church with them, why
are they not allowed to attend services
in other churches? The answers given
were clear and precise and were listen
ed to with close attention.
The lecture by Father Waters on the
question: sis one religion as good as
another" kept the audience amused
and attentive from start to close anc
proved TO be very instructive. The ar
gument of the speaker was along the
line that it is not as good to be wrong
as it is to be right; that among the
many contradictory religious bellefl
there is necessarily much error, tina
false principles lead to bad conduct, ant
that God wants us TO know the trutl
and follow it as our guide rather thai
70 be deceived and led estray by fals'
doctrines and erroneous principles.
