A MODERN PARABLE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

Now. there was certain young man
who was arraycd in fine linen and
Jared sumptuously every day.
And it came to pass that certain wo.
men who.rode In Il chariot came 10 lie
market place to deal, with them that
sell merchandise. And the5gearof .tbe
beasts who drew the chariot was put
out Of place. and the women feared
greatly. 49,. -
srhereupon the young man with the
glad raiment went to them and to the
beasts and fixed the gear And he lift
cd his turbaD TO them. and the women
bowed their heads to him and were
comfortcd.
Now, there was near this same city
a handmaidcn of the Lord who toilcu
with her hands in the vineyard while
it was yet day. And this woman
brought grapes ana vegetables to the
city gates. And two children Of hers
were with her by the way.
And. behold. the handmaiden and
the children and the grapes and the
vegetables were drawn by one poor
beast. whose harness was weak. so
that 1t became broken. ana the women
and the children lamcnted themselves
and were sorrowful because of the
harnesses. And there was no man to
help them.
i For the swell young man who had
fixed the gear Of the womcn's chariot
saw the woman and the children aud
the broken cart strings and passed by
on the other side.
But. moreover. In the same city was
another young man whose rament was
exceedingly plain. And when he had
fixed his eyes on the handmaiden and
the children he came and mnistered
| unto them. ''.'
And when lie saw the harness OF the
beast, that 1t was broken IN twain. he
went forthwith into the house of Il
merchant and bought strong cords and
bound up the gear of the beast so that
it was whole again.
And when lie had gladdened the
hearts of the woman and children he
also lifted his turban and went on his
way.
Now
Which Of the twain. the young man
with the glad garments or he with
plain apparel. was the greater in the
! Kingdom of kindness?
Verify. verify, say unto you. he that
did the kindness TO the woman and the
children and the beast.
For the Kingdom of grace is neither
/ in chariotS nor In glad raiment nor in
| the lifting OF uIrbans.
The Kingdom Of grace and kindness
Is within you. even in your minds and
hearts.

GOSSIP AND ADVICE FOR THE

Ihere arel certain fashions, which,
3thepgh.they perhaps cannot be said to
& always with us, are never long away
and such persistence must be due to
the possesson'o some intrinsic merit,
even though"no may BE able to
see Squite clearly in What this merit
Consists Just3why, for insistnnc, the
collar and lapels, as seen on mascu-
Sliueacoats, should be the most salts

Ito devise for garments Of this kind;
1T is not .altogether.efsy understand,
says the New York Tribune. Some
reason there must be, however, for no
zone can remember when men wore
anything different, and women. no
matter how frequently or how far they
Smay wander from the type, are sure to
return to it. In the masculine coat
sleeve Is provided what appears to be
tthe most simple and natural way Of
covering the arm, and 1t is, therefore,
mot surprising that women are ire.
Ssistably attracted to this model. ~
In the new tailored costumes. the
departures from the masculine type so
far rs collars and sleeves are con.
scerned are relatively few, and 1t Is
the safest one for the woman who can.
snot indulge In many changes OF raj
tment.. Should her soul crave for q
5little sortening. Of their severity, she
can draw upon the unusually large
ssack of frivolous accessories NOW
provided for such purposes. .lYr1'
sailor collar, with accompany.
ling large revers, is the newest of the
meek ffnishings, but on the tailored
Costume 1t does not reach TO the dl.
DIMENSIONS that It does on separate
coats. While It is most in evidence
soli somewhat ornate models, 1t is not
incompatible In Its moderate forms
with strictly. tailored effects. With
braid so much in use,S it Is natural
that it should enter into the con
