At one shop they are sell ing them for 8. 50 pair, in either patent or dull feathers. They are not unlike last summers pumps with this difference, that instead of the ankle strap they have two straps which button over the instep
 
 Of the new shoes in general it may be said that vamps will be extremely short and buckles will be In high favor The "buckle pump has no instep tongue an imposing leather-covered buckle talk ing it's place.

Don t Bite Your Lips

The lip biting habit will mar the pret- tiest face ever turned out of natures s workshop. All the lip salves and glyc- erine lotions introduced upon the toilet table will not remedy the parched, cracked appearance due to a continual lip gnawing process. Not until the habit is entirely broken off is there any hope of a change. Girls frequently drift into this ugly practice through foolish vanity that prompts them to wear their dim ples' all the time. Others bite their lips from nervousness, and sometimes if a girl has pale. coloress lips she will try to vivify them by an occasional pressure with her teeth. After a time. however. she nibbes away unconsciously, and by and by her mouth loses it's pretty curves, becomes rough and puffy looking, and all the charm of her face is gone.

Wife and Mother

Corbett, in his well known book "Ad- vice to Young Men" gave the following advice on choosing a wife: There are comparatively few women not replete with maternal love; and by-the-bye. take you care if you meet with girl who lis rot fond of children not to marry her by any means Some few there are who even make a boast that they cannot bear children. that is, cannot endure them.

Then Spring Is Calling

When the skies lean down oh, so tenderly blue,
 And vagabond you'd be; It is springtime calling, calling to you, From glen and hill and sea. When the birds are twittering, chirping, gay, And with them you'd take flight; It is springtime calling, calling to you, You'd answer the call with all your might: But there are things to do, when the springtime cals, And only the gypsy a victim falls.

When it is remembered that these inmates are not only fed and sheltered but clothed (for many come with absolutely nothing), it will be seen now much we have done with so little"
 How long are inmates allowed to re- main in the home" was my next ques- tion
 Tt was the desire of the home to take only girls up to the age of 20 years and to keep them for not less than two years" replied Mrs. Cory. However we have found that to do our full duty we have had to go by the spirit and not the letter of the law; for sometimes it would have been cruel and wrong not to take mothers with babes. and friend less and penniless girls and women eften- times from the street and sometimes from the court and hospitals In all cases when it has been found that an inmate was fit subject for another institution she has been so placed If the institu- tlon could receive her, if not, she has been kept until a suitable place could be found.'

Any and every kind of donation is acceptable. from wearing ap- parel to money, and our secretary, Mrs. Y. A. Dyer, or any member of the board will be pleased at any time to hear from those who wish to assist us.'' 'I presume the home is non-sectarian," observed.
 "Oh, yes." replied Mrs. Cory. 'The board of managers Is composed of Chris tian women of many denominations whose daily endeavor and prayer Is to save for fruit and flowers that which other wise would go to waste and weeds It means even more, for every thoughtful person knows that taking for one year 125 girls out of the streets and byways, and placing them in usefulness and un- der Christian care not only removes these from temptation but takes temptation from the paths of others-others may haps dear to you or yours. We women have worked ourselves sick over dinners and lectures for money and we must have more help to care for these who have slipped in the darkness of earth's polluted way If 1t be net done, whose will be the blame?

Bathtub Dangers

A slip of the foot in one of the smooth. enameled bathtubs is apt to be se- rious matter if one falls against the edge of the tub. Stout people and little people sometimes feel more than a little nervous at stepping out and into one of the slip pery tubs. The danger of slipping may be entirely obviated by the use of one of the corrugated rubber bath mats which come in various long, narrow sizes to fit enameled bathtubs The corrugation of the rubber is not rough enough to cause discomfort to bare feet and after the bath the mat may be hung across the edge of the tub and will dry even more quickly than towel.

What Is Wanted

Perhaps the most pressing want of to- day is the real old-fashioned mother to teach her children that the highest ideals can be found in home life. The young girl we are mostly familiar with is d restless creature, always on the outlook for change and excitement. But is this her fault? Her upbringing is in some way responsible for it. The mother who does not appreciate home life is not likely to make her daughter like it, and such disastrous example augurs i'll for the girls future married happiness. There are fortunately mothers who can be termed told fashioned" would there were more of themi

And, if happiness consists In being in- dulged in every whim and pleasure they may desire, her children are certainly happy.
 The mother is constantly planning things for their enjoyment and they are growing up selfish, thoughtless, depend ent, inconsiderate of their mother and playmates and thinking only of them selves
 To allow children to grow up like this is no real kindness. They are far hap pier If they are taught to think of and try to help others than if their thoughts are entirely centered on themselves.

 Aramaic, one of the languages which is used in the Old Testament, was the Sem itic dialect spoken by the people north of Canaan when the Israelites took that country From the days of the Baby lonian exile, Aramaic was used as the medium of communication between Jews and other Semitic people and gradually supplanted Hebrew even in Palestine, where it became the common language about B. c. 200.
 The period in which the Old Testament was being written covers 1000 years, while the period of the composition of the New Testament covers about 100 years. The oldest poems in the Old Testament date back to a.out the year B. C. ,12O0, while some of the Psalms and Book of Daniel are placed at the year B. c. 200.
