SELF-IMPOSED DUTIES EXAGGERATED

Most persons have a sense Of duty:
the difference lies in their interpreta-
ton Of g. II all depends on the point
Of view.
Whatever may be the viewpoint, how
ever, the average glrl looks too far Into
the pcrsp ective to find her prospective
responsibilities and duties. She too
often ignores the nearby surroundings.
The delicate hlament OF romance woven
into the feminine mind at the Creation
has been and always will be OF her
heritage; so 1t is her nature to look be-
yond the commonplace, material things
within her reach. out into the distance,

A LII women love silk petticoats.
~ and the most Of US never have
n enough Of them.
Usually they are an extraya-
gance, because, be the silk ever so good,
the hard wear that a petticoat under a
cloth skirt is bound TO get wears IL out
with astonishing quickness. And then
1t means anywhere from S-s75 to SIS TO
get a new one.
II. however. you can do your own
sewing you can have as many silk pet
ticoats as you wish for at just about
one-half the rvice at which you would
buy them in the shops.
The first thing to do is to provide your
self with a well-htting and economical
pattern. Choose one which has a mar
row two or three piece top reaching just
below the knees. A three-piece pattern
cuts to advantage. as the front gore
comes out OF one width OF the silk and
the two back cores need only a little
piecing at the bottom.
Below this top part there should be
either a shaped or straight founce
which may be as full or as scanty as
your material allows.
Arrange your patterns on paper, cut
in pieces twenty inches wide. and in this
way you viii find out exactly how much

PASTOR URGES UNION
OF CHURCH SOCIETIES

Mitchell. S. D., oct. 1.-THE con-
solidation OF churches in small towns
Is receiving the attention Of some pas
tors, notably at Ashton. a town Of
some 300 or 400 people. Rev. George l..
W. kilbOn. pastor Of the COngrega-
tlonal church, has issued a statement
suggesting the union Of the Methodist
and Congregational churches. He saws
that the population of the town is not
enough 10 pay the expenses OF two
churches, and suggests two ways in
which to bring about the union. First.
I" have the two churches disband and
reorganize as n church; second, to
TORN a union church with two dis
tlhct organizations. His idea is to
nave n churches come together for
worship without losing their identify.
and be administered to by one pas
tor, preferably n who represents
aGither denomination. MI. Kilbon be-
blleVes that the expense could be
greatly reduced and the cause of re-
9glon be advanced to a much greater
degree. This same effort is being made
In other localities in the state.
