MRS. w. III. FITZ GERALD,
South Tacoma, March %.


Editor Times:
Dear Sir--I will not attempt
the explanation of any of the
teachings of the Bible to Bro.
Chaffee, but as to the application
of the Golden Rule under the
present conditions" let me say
this, that IL we should all wait
until the conditions change them
selves-all of sudden, without
any effort on any one individuals
part--we would wait forever-if
one can realize how long that is.
Just the same principle applies
to the bringing in of the millen-
ium, as to the bringing in of the
socialist party or any other good
cause. If no one made start and
seemingly lost for time, nothing
would be gained. I say seemingly
because good effort is never lost.
Each and every unit is just as
important as the whole number
as the number would not be II
even one were lacking.
SO let each and every one do his
or her part. and the whole will
take care of itself.
Respectfully,
CARRIE s. MILLER.

Lingerie gowns will be in great
vogue, and this means, of course,
a great vogue for embroidery.
A novelty in trimming for lin
gerie frocks is tiny cotton
fringe, quite like that used on cur
tains.
Collarless gowns will have
their place in fashions just as
surely as will short sleeves.

The necessity for care in the
cooking of children's food is a
real one, but daintiness and at
tractivenes in serving cannot be
overlooked. For even the noisy,
laundering boy is more quickly
affected than would seem possible,
not only by the flavor but by the
appearance of his food. A lunch
con daintily put up for him to
take to school not only appeals to
the eye. but through the eye to
the stomach. There comes a de-
sire to taste. and by this desire
the gastric secretions are appeal
ed to and the food is partaken of
with genuine relish instead of a
forced inclination.
