Straight Pleated Skirt.

Short or apron draperies are very
fashionable just now and this one'
with points at the sides, is extremely
becoming. 1t is arranged over a
pleated skirt, and this skirt Is at
tached to a smoothly fitted yoke. 1t
can be made either with a slightly
raised or the natural waist line. IN
this case the skirt is made Of cash
mere with bands of satin, but it will
be found available for almost every
seasonable material. Fine woods are
exceedingly light in weight, and
everything that can be pleated sue
cessfully is appropriate. Made In
floor length and of silk wolfe with
bands of satin it would become very
much more elaborate in effect. Made
from French serge and finished with
stitched hens only it would become a
simple, practical skirt adapted to
everyday wear.
The skirt consists Of the founda-
ton, the pleated portion and the drap-

waists, and either would be attractive
made after this model. Also the
waist is we'll suited to the entire
gown. The closing a be made eth
er at the front or the back as liked.
When made at the back it is designed
to be invisible, when made at the
front it can be effected either by
means of buttons and b%uttonholes
worked through the box pleat, or by
NEAR Of ~buttonholes worked in a fly.
The waist consists of front and
back portions. When made with
closing at the back, the backs are
made separately, but when the 'front.'
closing is preferred the back is seam
less. The tucks in the fronts are
stitched for a portion Of their length
only, but the full length box pleat
gives long lines at both front and
back. The full sleeves are finished
with deep cuffs. The plain sleeves
are cut in one piece each.
The quantity of material required
tor the medium size is four yards
twenty-four Or tw~enty-seven, three
and a half yards thirty-two or two
and an eighth yards forty-four inches
wide with three-eighth yard of con-
;rasting material for piping.

True Goodness.

He only is good who does good.
Every man is good in the measure OF
the life he. gives the world. He only.
is At for heaven who really is fit, eff
fcient, for the service of heaven here.
The greatest need Of the world is men
and women to whom the divine plans
Of life are so glorious that they will
pay any price to become proficient In
realizing them.
There is a world of good work to be
done right here. You may cease to-
worry as to whether you are good or
not if you will but begin to do with
all your powers the good work that
lies next to your hands. The only
way to be is to do. Every man really
reflects the thing for which he works.
He who works for the ideal kingdom
shows it's glory in his c~ountenance.
He who serves the good, who does
good, is changed to its glory though
he knows it not.

A PRAYER.

Eternal God, we thank Thee that
through Thy grace We find life and
light. Kindle Thou our souls into
holy desire that Jul common life
may be possessed by a heavenly pur-
pose. Help lis as children Of the Lord
of Love to spend ourselves in loving

Purge from our hearts all narrow
ness and self-seeking and make US
quick to discern and respond to Thy
will concerning us. Uplift us from
the clouds of discouragement and give
us the higher vision of the eternal
joys reserved for all who overcome
through faith in a risen Saviour.

It was easy for the gossiping wo-
man in the ole story to obey when
her confessor told her to walk a mile,
scattering feathers. But the other
half of the penance was to go back
and gather them up again. The diff
ficulty of undoing scattered mischief
was her lesson.
Heaven has made 1t equally diff
hcult to undo scattered good. More
than that, we may believe that no
right deed or word Is ever lost, while
many a wrong n Is forgiven and

he had grown almost as numb and

He read it again and again; and the
gospel that was in it taught him and

Testimony From the B~nch.

Judge McAuley, of Kansas City, IN
committing a plain drunk" gave ut
terance to the following: IF I had
my way I would not only close every
saloon in the county Sunday and
week days, but I would stop the sale
of intoxicating liquor in any shape or
for any purpose whatever. 1 would
make 1t a crime to manufacture the
stuff. This may be far reaching, but
the sentiment is justiledby the sights
and experiences in this courtroom.
Ninety-five per cent. of the cases tried
here are the direct results of whisky;
the other five per cent. includes NOR
phine and cocaine fends and a few
petty grievances that come before me
for adjustment.
"The woes that arise from the use
of whisky, the ruined men and wom-
en-, the broken families, the griefs
and tears all aired in this courtroom
are enough to turn gray the hair on

Christian Certainty.

CHRISTIAN CcrIaliCy.
How can one be sure that he Is a
Christian? The Apostle John gives
rules whicl, are in harmony with
otter Scripture. Hereby know we
that we are in Him; Whose keepeth
His word, in him verify is the love Of
God perfected" Obedience Is a test.
"Ye know that everyone that doeth
righteousness Is born of Him" An
other rule is in the words, 1--WE know
that we have passed from death unto
life, because we love the brethren. "
And still another in these words.
"We know that He abideth In us by
the Spirit which He hath given u.s." =
The Spirit bears witness with our
spirits that we are the children Of
God. John gives also a rule by which
the Spirit may be known. Hereby
know we the Spirit of God. Every
spirit that confesseth that Jesus
Christ Is come in the flesh is Of Cod"
He also declares his assurance Of a
future meeting with and likeness to
Christ. I'VE know that when He
shall appear, we shall be like Him"

confidence that we have in Him, that
If we ask anything according to His
will, He heareth us, "And if we know
that He hears US, whatsoever we ask,
we know that we have the petitions
that we desired Of Him"
With this assurance in regard to
prayer is associated an assurance OF
sustaining grace in time of tempta-
ton. "We know that whosoever Is
Of God sinneth not; but he that is
begotten of God keepeth himself, and
that wicked one toucheth him not"
This knowledge, however, did not
make him careless in regard to sin,
or vain of his security. He knew the
weakness of the flesh, and the
strength of temptation. Hence, sum-
ming up our knowledge Of God and
Christ, and our own security and eter-
nal life, he said: Every man that
hath this hope in him puriieth him
self, even as He is pure" and closed
his epistle with the exhortation, Lit
tie children, keep yourselves from
idols. Amen. "--Herald and Presby.
