Though he occupied a fairly lucrative

though, as he puts It, mot in it."
Far from being an apostate," said
Mi. Clarke, Il consider those who at
present conduct the churches as hay
ing departed from the Word of God.
They have construed Divine service
into saying a few prayers once a
week, whereas we Of the brotherhood,
believe in perpetual Divine services
and that the entire life of man should
be spent In the holy Offices.

Old Penny Supposed to Have Been
Used In Time Of Christ.

Let me take 1t for a day or two, and
l will find out how old 1t is"
The coin Is older than any shown In

Mrs. Whitney, the librarian, suggested
that 1t be shown to w. H. Winants of
the Mercantile bank. Mr.. Winants has
a large collection and is considered an
authority on old money.

when he rebuked the Pharisees, 1t was

superscription?" They said unto him;

sideration of age to be in the SWIM
for these light-hearted and eoquettlsh
models pervade even the sacred meme
of the middle-aged.
The most dainty of the empire we'd
ding models show trimming on the
bodice, and either a perfectly pam
skirt or else one ornamented Wild y
long square stole, swinging back ana
forth from the bodice. The superb
embroideries OF the waist deck these
Greece-like draperies, which may start
from the neck or start from the shoui-
der and bust.
The skirt of the empire gown being
a skinny %affairt, and covering at most
only a slip as scant of thin SILK, or a
cbemise made In the same way, there
are often trains, made separately, n
interlined for weight. which go with
such a wedding frock. The low necks
and short-sleeved bodices are hlled In
with long-sleeved camps of tucked net
lace or tulle, the popular veil being
also in the last airy textile.
Never by any possibility does good
taste allow the flesh OF the neck and
arms to show outright, but the camps
are to a great extent transparent,
which adds to looks, especially when
everything is overriding by the misty
veil.
There are no absolute rules for wear
ing the veil. 1t may either be draped
at the back Of the head from a half
wreath of orange blossoms or tiny
white roses, or be allowed to fall over
the face in the usual way.
A smart walking, travelling or infor-
NAL visiting dress could be made after
our illustration. Plain cloth, striped
suitings, or Scotch suitings are cor
rect stuffs, with braid or velvet trim
mings. Seven wards Of material ~
inches wide may achieve this dapper
and useful dress, but with wide ma
terials, of course, less would be need
ed. Tan cloth in a soft almost yellow
| shade, or In gray or mauye, are all
| good selections.
With the tan dress have the broad
hat a mushroom shape, II this popular
style Is becoming, and trim 1t with
black velvet and violet flowers. The
headgear of the smart bride is either
one thing or the other-a bewildering
shape very simply trimmed, or else a
bed Of posies. Some imported shapes
in superbly tinted straw Panama have
the brims faced with black.

RUN ON NEW LINES
LONDON STORES CONDUCTED ON
"cHRIsT-LIkE" PRINCIPLES.
A. z. Clarke, Founder Of New Religious
Brotherhood Which Believes
That Manual Labor ls
Truest Worship.

London.-"We are running this bust
ness as Christ would run 1t were he
on earth to-day was the exclamation
made by the manager of the Chris
tian Business association just started
in this city, when asked for an ex-
position of his peculiar methods. The
idea may not be altogether novel, but
1t is certainly new to London. Crowds
daily gather outside the various shops
opened up by this originator, and
watch with interest the sale of goods.
In East Ham-beyond the White
chapel district-the Christian Bust
ness association recently has opened
a vegetable emporium, and though
there is plenty of other business of a
like character In the district, 1t Is
safe to say that the &c. B. A,"-as
they call themselves for short-have
monopolized the largest slice OF pub
lie attention. AS an advertising dodge,
pure and simple, running a business
on "Christlike" lines should certainly
pay, for most of the newspapers have
taken up the subject, and almost
every day there are notices of the
novel concern which is attempting to
buy and sell potatoes by the Apostolic
pound.
The originator--at least in England
-of the Christian business idea is
A. e, Clarke, who some years ago
