TO DRESS WELL ON LITTLE.
Decidedly Hard to Accomplish, But
Can BE Done.

The girl who must dress os small
income gets much we'll. meant advice
as 10 accomplishing tSat difacult feat.
Perhaps she is told shat ne matter
hew plain are ones clothes she must
always be well shod and well gloVeA;
or the changes are rung on the Ad-
Vantages Of one good tailor suit
year.
This advice is good as far as IT gees
but nothing is said of the tiRes when
the money that should be put into
shoes and gloves must be diverted to
unexpected doctor bills or to help out
in the rent
Then the shabbiness of gloves must
be covered as best it may and shoes
will have to be patched for lenger
wear. To get new shoes at the same
time as new gloves is often an i'm
possibility and one is frequently shah
by before the money can be raised
to buy the other.
good tailor suit each year in the
ory is delightful, in practice it is fire.
Quently beyond the average girls III
come. Either she must buy cheap
suit which fades or shrinks in the flrst
hard storm or il good suit is bought
one year it will have to serve as best
for several seasons.
To dress well on n limited income IL
far from being as easy as it sounds
and the girl who can accomplish IT
has need of much ingenuity. thrift and
neatness.
She will have to weigh well her buy
ing; forswear show for utility, and get
clothes that are incoHspicuous rather
than in the height OF style.
Having made her purchases, she
must make them last to their utmost
time limit by constant care; and make
up for deficiencies of cut and material
by an erect carriage and winning
manner.

A lie is an affirmation or denial by
words, or any other signs to which
certain determlnate meaning is
affixed OF something contrary to our
real thoughts and intentions.
Thus lie is breach of promise:
for whoever serioasl y addresses his
discourses to another, practically
promises to speak the truth. be-
cause he knows that the truth is
expected.
There are various kinds of lies.
The pernicious lie. uttered for the
hurt or disadvantage of our nsighbor.
The ludicrous and jocose lie, ut
tered by wap of jest, and only for
myth S sake in common converse.
This kind is often quite fashionable
with many.
Pious frauds. as they are improp-
erly called, pretended inspiration,
forged book, counterfeit miracles, are
species of lies.
Lies7of conduct, for lie may be
told in gestures as well as words;

The usual excuse is that chickens

keep them On town lots. The fault
generally lies with the Rethad 0t the
breeder instead Of with the chickens.
There is no excuse for the filthy III
smelling yards and hsuses, and wher-
ever these are found they are an eyt
dence Of la4ineN< or neglect upon the
part Of the owner. There is nothing

Elkins Match Secret Finally Disclosed

rage was probably under considera-
ton is refused by the officials.
1t is known that later when the
counting of the duke of the Abruzzi
was approaching a crisis, that Senator
Elkins requested friends in Rome to
ascertain and advise him what would
be the status of his daughter II she
married into the royal family. He
was notified that the marriage would
be considered morganatic unless the
Italian parliament passed an act giving
the daughter full recognition. He was
at the same time warned that the Ital-
ian parliament could subsequently re-
peal its legislation, leaving the mar
riage in the same position as if the
act of recognition had not bcca
passed.
Il is understood here that Senator
Elkins did not make any request of
the state department to ascertain for
him the status of American women
marrying either a member of the
royal family or an Italian nobleman
but had the investigation conducted
by one of his personal friends at that
time in Rome

LYING.

/ invite your attention for short
while to some thoughts suggested by
reading the 18th verse of the 10Th
Chapter of Leviticus: "Ye shall not
steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie
one to another.
The words contained in the above
passage are those of the Mosaic law,
and were in existence 1400 years
before Christ. Though so many
years have elapsed since they came
into existence ] feel that they ere

Lying is speaking falsehoods will
fully. with an intent to deceive, it is
in direct opposition to trutnfulnesss,
for lying and truth will not work
together.

Sapphira to conceal the price of their

In a word he is an enemy to God
and man and uses hi utmost en-
deavors to roo God OF his glory and

When we contemplate therefore
the nature. the evil. the guilt; the
consequences of this sin, it is our
happiness to reflect that he who per-

for it; and that he gave his only
