PEEP AT WHITE HOUSE.

One day the women visitors to the
White House had treat in peep"
into the Executive dining room. They
had opportunity to observe Presiden-
tial methods of arranging the lunch
con table; instead of the old-fash-
toned cloth, there were many little
doilies at the round table-the ladies
will know just how important this
fashion has become in domestic econ
omy. The piano that adorns the East
Room was discovered to be much
more than mere ornament when
Mrs. Taft was heard playing upon it.

LIGHT BOOZE

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee, and her experience Is In

During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four In the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and 1t was quite
natural that l should want good
hot cup of coffee about that time. 1t
stimulated me and / could keep
awake better.
After three or four years Of coffee
drinking l became nervous wreck
and thought that l simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
after being married, Husband
begged me to leave Off coffee, for he
feared that 1t had already hurt me al
most beyond repair, so | resolved TO
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.

few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the stimulant,

Healing of the Mind.

know man who, though busily
and extensively engaged in Christian
service, was for long defeated in his
thought life. The evil word and act
were checked, but he could not pre-
vent his thoughts from ranging over
forbidden fields, and consequently he
was brought into inward bondage and
despair. One night, at the close of a
service, as the congregation sang the
we'll known words:
Just as l am, poor, wretched, bind,
Sight, riches healing of the mind,
Yea all | need in Thee to find,
0 Lamb of God, I come"
the thought broke upon him, and he
saw that what he needed most of all
was such healing of the mind" as
that unto which Christ pledges Him
self. Falling upon his knees he cried
as he had never done before:
80 Lamb of God, I come."
And his testimony is that Christ
brought him that night into an atti-
tude of new surrender and enabled
him to exercise new faith, claiming
this promise which has constantly
been fulfilled to him: 1.-THE peace of
God shall guard your heart and your
thoughts u. Stuart Holden.

THE PULPIT.
ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
A. H. LEWIS, D. D.
Theme: The Sacredness of Fatherhood

God alone has absolute power to
create. He might have retained this
power forever. He chose rather to
confer infinite honor and infinite re-
sponsibility on man by delegating to
him the power to recreate. This pow
er to perpetuate the race, as a sub
creator, and to be a direct factor in
determining it's character and destiny,
is divine Its exercise in fatherhood
is among the most sacred functions of
existence. In this life alone it's re-
suits for good or evil are beyond COM
putation. Considered by the stand
ard of an endless life, they are over
whelming. Were there not unknown
possibilities for good results, in each
experience of parenthood, no man I'M
derstanding what it means could ven
ture to assume fatherhood
Much the larger share of human
suffering comes through impaired
physical health Weakness and dis
ease make men burden on society,"
lead to poverty, drunkenness, social
impurity, larceny and kindred evils.
No man is free from guilt who trans
mits a single element Of physical
weakness or disease which he can
avoid.
The habitual use Of stimulants and
narcotics destroys nerve force and
mental balance. Their effects are Of
ten more prominent in the second and
the third generations than in those
who first indulge. Purity in thought
and act is an imperative demand
which the sacredness of actual or pos
sible fatherhood places on all men.
In assuming fatherhood you are
acting for God; exercising the hottest
function ever given you. If man
goes out as the agent of a business
firm, or the representative of great
nation, he must be loyal to the power
which commissions him, and in whose
name he acts. How much more when
a man assumes fatherhood, in behalf
of the Infinite and Eternal Father!
He who does not love God cannot
transmit the tendency to love Him.
Such a man must rather transmit the
tendency to hate and disobey God, for
which he, not his child, is RESPONSE
BILE. This stupendous fact lies at the
core of all true religion.
The husband has to bear little of
the passive service and continuous
burdens which attend parenthood.
The wife has an absolute right to all
the help which pure 1ove, exhaustless
patience and tenderest sympathy can
afford. This is due to the child also,
who must suffer loss in proportion as
these are withheld from the mother.
If any husband denies these, or worse
still, gives, in place of them, indiffer-
ence, neglect, harshness or abuse, he
becomes a shame to the name of
fatherhood, a disgrace to his sex, an
enemy to his own child, and sinner
before God.

Liked Treatment.

A slater who was engaged upon the
roof of house in Glasgow fell from

state upon the pavement. One of

rushed to the aid of the poor man,
CHANGED to have a flask of spirits in
his pocket, and, to revive him, began
to pour little down his throat.

looking on, 'or you'll choke him. y

his eyes and said quietly: Pour

THE "OBLONG WOMAN"

The decision has been arrived at
among certain makers of high class
ready-to-wear suits and dresses that
"the oblong woman" is to continue,
and hipless dress forms will be the
future wearing apparel of this class.
Among individual makers, however,
practically nothing but the princess
dress obtains, but it is so varied that
each one seems to be in class by
itself.
Some are so severely simple that
they really take the place of the tail

many. too, are fitted to the figure
