If someone gave you a beautiful gift
of any kind you would not think it fine
and becoming to decry that gift to all
who admired it, would you?
And aren't beauty and the power to
write well and the ability to paint fine
pictures gifts from someone?
Then why isn't it very bad taste, in
stead of good taste, as so many seem
to think it, to decry these gifts to
those who praise them?

She has an unusually sweet voice
She knows that she has. And it SEEM

in that way she almost deserved to

That's the way 1 always feel when
hear anyone decry gift.
When l hear a pretty girl whom /
know has common sense and a mirror
and can't possibly be ignorant of her
charm, say, II don't think I'm pretty"
or something like that, I always think
it would be poetic justice if she could
lock in her mirror and see her words
come true.

God who gave me the gift to move

Heaven could give it, and why should
I feel snobbish about it? As the
years creep over my head 1 cannot

1 wish all of us would speak of our
gifts-the big and little ones, the skill
at embroidery, the facility at stenog-
raphy, the wonderful ability to sing
or write or paint-in that fine, frank,
open way.
To appreciate and acknowledge ones
ability is not conceft.
Far more conceited is the woman
who by continually crying herself down
ob1iges her. friends to be continually
reassuring her as to her charms
ugliest forms of conceit
I once read an epigram that has since
been sort OF ideal of conduct to me
in this matter
''The best preventative of vanity is
PRIDE
When you feel yourself becoming
vain and exultant over any gift or

'The best preventative of vanity is
pride"
And then apply it,
Take such pride in your gift that
you will busy yourself improving and

The band does not meet in front. Some
of these leafv models have tiny crys-

simulate dewdrops. Artificial flowers
can be used to cary out this same

Another model is combination of
silver gauZe and pearls. On a strip of

Puffs and curls h.ve had their sway,
and there is an evidence o. a simpler
arrangement of the evening couture
which will be joyfully accepted by all
women who wish to wear their own
hair till the end. Many women have
adopted the new swirled effect, which
is produced by winding the hair in
straight strands around the head. For
those who are blessed with thick
hair heavy braid is coiled over the
sides and top. A fiat effect is mucn
favored, and this presages the Danish

GEORGE WHiTEFiELD.

George Whitefield, founder of the
Calvinistic Methodist denomination
and one of the pioneers of Methodism
in America, was born in Gloucester,
England, Dec. 16, 1714. He began his
career at the age of Is as servitor at
Pembroke college, Oxford where he
and Joined the small society of Meth
odists
He was ordained deacon in 1876,
and soon became very popular as a
preacher In 1888 he went to the
American settlement of Georgia to
spread the tidings of Methodism, and
soon became very popular rs a
preacher His 1ninistrations gave
great satisfaction to the colonists, and
his name and fame is still treasured
by Georgia Methodists.
In the following year he returned
to England to procure subscriptions
for the building of an orphan asylum
in Georgia Having repaired to Lon
don, he found the churches in which
he preached incapable of holding the
crowds which gathered to hear him
He adopted the plan of preaching in
the open air, and won great success.
He visited various parts of England
before embarking again for America
in 1899 He made a tour of several Of
the American colonies, preaching with
great effect to immense audiences.
Returning to England, differences
between him and Wesley served for
time to deprive him of some of his
popularity After another tour of
England. Scotland and Wales, he
again returned to America, and re-
NAMED here nearly four years. Soon
after his return to England he was
introduced to the Countess, Hunting
ton, who made him one of her chap
lains. A visit to Ireland, and two
more voyages to America followed,
and for several years his labors were
unremitting. He died in Newburyport,
Mass, in 1870, while on his seventh
visit to America.
