young ladies, has a most prosperous con-
gregation.
At the church meetings and socials the
students outnumber the girls two to one.
Said Mr.. Richardson's:
have just seventy-nine young ladies
in our church. We have counted every
precious one. But even SO, we haven't half
enough. Our church committee. through
me, wishes an appeal made to hear their
lonely cry-Come to Macedonia
I'm the meanwhile the students who have
mortgages on the seventy-nine smile down
in pity on their poor unohosen brethren"
Which Is BestF
The managers OF the fashionable cafes
Of Indianapolis, according to the News of
that city, are not agreed on the question of
the comparative value OF the comely wait
ress who trips about at her work while all
the men gaze in admiration.
Chicago and ST. Louis have made an at
tempt to thrash out this problem, but the
solution seems afar off. Chicago has one
solution and st. Louis another, The former
has concluded that the big-eyed waitress
with dimples in her cheeks is a nuisance.
The latter is not so sanguine in the theory
that beauty in mattresses is not an asset
when the patronage of a business depends
upon the ability of the manager to please
his customers.
indianapolis restaurant proprietors are
agreed on one proposition. The mattresses
must please their customers, They differ
as to what pleases.
One manager, who did not want to be
quoted, said that five out Of seven men
who came to his place were cranks. They
like to chat with the Mattresses, he said,
and especially 10 chat with the pretty ones.
"If they get a little encouragement" he
continued, they will walk nine blocks out
of their way to be on hand for luncheon or
dinner. The girl with the Palmer house
walk is not exactly to my liking, but l
nave been in this business long enough to
know that there is no place for one will
web feet. The fellow who is to be served
by a woman with a bulldog face is sure
to find some fault with the food. II. on
the other hand, a girl with some ~vivaeity
passes him the menu, his appetite is not
likely to be spoiled at the outset.
''The girl who is favored with a graceful
form, an airy carriage, a dimpls or two,
and dellcatsly curved eyebrows will get
more tips, walt on more people, and bring
more patronage than the girl who Is not
so favored"
Leaves From Fashions Notebook.
A much favored color for gowns and hats
is a blue 80 deep as to be almost black.
Pendants and brooches in charming EN-
pire designs are favorite for
girls and young matrons.
Upon many new evening gowns the lace
flounoe imparts the decorative note as a

There is a rumor that the ALFRED costume
Will be worn by the young and daring this

placing the collarette, and owners Of cameo
brooches are now likely 10 find some use
for them.
