ALL KINDS OF SALVATION.
Christian Associations Net Concerned Only
with the Soul. Saws Mr.. Wood

Assuming that the Young wonen's Christian AS
ISOLATION. like the Young Mems, stands for all kinds
of salvation Walter NJ Wood Of Philadelphia,
talked TO the Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton Of New York at its annual meeting, held yes
terday morning its headquarters No. East 18th
street, about some of the kinds that are likely to
be forgotten One Of these he said was indus
trial salvation, and Judging from his experience
general secretary Of the Young Mems Christian
Association OF Philadelphia, he assumed that
of the most important things the Young Women's
Christian Association of New York could do was TO
get the right people into the right places.
II know no greater slavery" Mr.. Wood said.
than the slavery of misit occupation. To go,
day sitter day, to work that gives you Joy, to
duty that tires you, means lowering Of the moral
sensbilities. But 10 that young people
rightly placed is not enough An association Ike
yours should give young women opportunities for
keeping up with the procession a little ahead of
the demand II should study proiong the useful
ness of each undeveloped life. There are q great
many persons, and woman, who find themselves
face TO face with decreasing opportunity. either
account Of educational, physical other Hmi-
tations a little and service may give them
new lease of life. There is natural which
says that after thirty-hye or forty-hve years
can learn nothing more"
BY way of illustration Mr. Wood told OF a man Of
forTy-two years whose business had grown faster
than he His subordinates knew more than he, and
the situation nearing the breaking point.
Arrangements made" said Mr Wood
whereby this could get more training without
too much publicity. and he is square his feet
again"
Recreation also cited 8 means Of saliva
ton, and MI Wood said it was Extremely ln-
fortunate that Christian people did not give more
attention to this subject.
The president, Mrs. Clarence E. Beebe presided
and the treasurer, Mrs. W. w. Rockwell, reported
that the association had spent during the year
s66 AIS Il. besides payments loans The receipts
irciuded legacy of $4,000 from Mrs Arthur Well
man. The association carries on besides the work

STENCIL DECORATION,
Merchants Meeting Large Demand
5citk Artistic Furnishings.

Stencil work from Being a mere mechanical meth
cd of decoraton-tust the repetition of designs
having little artistic beauty-nas grown into q
speciality to which real artists are not ashamed 10
give their attention. There artists who devote
themselves stencil work entirely Perhaps II Is
nothing against it that this branch OF art Is some
times found TO be more lucrative than the panrhs
Of pictures With the present craze for house
decorating anything that belongs to that field Is
pay
The japanese who carried stencilling to a high
degree of perfection long before thought OF cared
anything about it. and much OF whose strange and
beautiful art work is produced with the aid Of
stencils, have taught several things. One is
that the ties arms necessary to hold the solid
parts OF the design together may be made a part
Of the pattern In the ordinary stencil pattern
these ties are a great nuisance; the places where
they come have be painted over by hand after
the pattern is removed or else the design has
broken look. The japanese, by using a design
adapted to the limitations Of the stencil ger over
all that difficulty.
Manufacturers are bringing out stenciIled cur
taias. cushions, rugs table covers and the like,
and soTe Of them very pretty, but IT is in the
field Of special orders that stencil artists make
the most money. 4 woman who is having her
house done, for example likes 10 choose her ma
s,rials and her designs likes 10 harmony
sidered in the ornamentation Of the different oh
5ects IN q room.
Upholstery merchants understand this. and many
Of them are prepared FIJI special orders in their
own workroons
ANY girl who is fairly clever and artistic can do
stencilling. Innumerable designs are for sale. and
they be picked too. from all sorts OF places

stencil lay piece Of heavy calendered paper over
a sheet OF zinc, plate glass steel. and cut the
design out with sharp pointed knife When the
skeleton is made give it bath in boiled hnseed oil
and hang II up TO dry. Before using it give II a
thin coat OF shellac each side, TO preserve the
paper. A stencil properly made will last long
! time with careful usage. A New York artist has

Jay requested that similar 10 that adopted

Bank five years ago, be pursued. This permits the
trustees to carry the business OF the bank under
the supervision Of the Bank Commissioners, to lend
money TO needy depositors and gradually 20 nurse
