The white walled, red topped mission buildings stand out against the green and russet of the surrounding crop lands, with the sheeny band of slow-1owing water beyond.

SMART COLLAR DESIGNS.

Rather severe finishing touches
for the top of the dress collar have
come into vogue and are taking the
place of the wide, fluffy, dropping
neck-ruchings recently so popular"
says Grace Margaret Gould in the
Woman's Home Companion for Feb
ruary.
1.-THE idea is to increase the height
of the collar by means of landings,
cordings and pipings which fit the
neck snugly, and which finish the
collar daintily without breaking the
graceful lines of length which are be-
ing emphasized in costumes.
Indeed it its quite reasonable that
Fashion should decree slender throat
lines to harmonize with the slender
lines of the figure
"Cordings, landings and pipings of
silk, satin and velvet; lace, chiffon,
net and other sheer fabrics are being
used extensively. They are very sat
isfactory, since they can so readily
be made to match the gown in color
and even in material, if one tone and
one effect be desired. Where two
tones are introduced into a costume
blending or contrasting, either one OF
both shades may be used very effect
lively for a collar finish"

ing Catholic afliliation, let me here say
that the Catholic doctrine of Purga-
tory, which lies at the foundation of
these three, is in many respects more
rational than our Protestant doctrine
of eternal torture. 1t would surely
be more God-like to provide some way
of escape for the millions Of humani-
ty than to leave thousands of millions
uselessly in UNRELIABLE anguish to all
eternity. However, the Lord willing,
it is my intention to discuss this sub
ject in general Mass Meeting to
Christian people of all denominations
on Sunday, March G. So many of you
as desire to attend will be welcomed
on that occasion. We will then seek
for the Scriptural Explanation of these
doctrines-Purgatory and He'll.
Summing up, then, we find that
Lutherans would have nothing to lose
by Federation-nothing to surrender,
except a little pride. Episcopalians
likewise will find Federation to cost
them little. They can well afford to
join the Federation, especially on
terms upon which they insist-the rec
| ognition of the apostolic succession.
And this they can afford to concede in
its very mildest form, realizing that it
has never specially advantaged them
anyway and is impossible of demon
stration, in view of the fact that the
Scriptures declare that there are but
twelve apostles of the Lamb and SYM
bolically show only a twelve-star
crown to the Church during this Age
and only twelve foundations to the
New Jerusalem-the Church in glory.
How then could bishops either possess
or give apostolic blessings? Revela-
ton xii, 1; xxi, AZ
Omitting the Catholic church. being
assured from the Scriptures that she
will not be a member of the Fedora
ton, we conclude by advising the Prot
estant Christian Communions discuss
ed today not to be content with Fed
Grafton, but to go the entire length OF
housekeeping all their pet ideas and
acknowledging as fellow Christians
and fellow-members of the Body of
Christ, the Church, all who acknowl
edge Jesus as their Savior, their Re
deemer, and who turn from the ways
of sin and to the best Of their ability
walk in the path of Righteousness, and
who make full conservation of them
selves to the Lord. These are anC

lutte sense possible, both now and be

HOUSEWORK GOWNS.

In planning ones morning dresseS
dresses which are really to be worn
when doing the Homework, there are
two big important things to remember
first, select dresses which are easy TO
get into; second, have them smart
and becoming in line. OF course,
there are other little details well
worth remembering, such as avoid
ing much trimming, having the ma
terial well adapted to the purpose OF
the dress and having the general
style neat and trim-Grace Margaret

IN THE HOURS OF THE NIGHT.


Samuel McChord Crothers tells OF
the half past two in the morning Wig
lis which conscience sometimes keeps
with deeds done and undone. Did
you ever awaken in that darksome
hour despite the fact that your tired
brain and body demanded rest-did
you ever awaken to find the ghosts Of
departed deeds depressing your
chest? You didn't write that letter
you promised Mother. You preferred
to take the pleasure trip down the
river but the crowd was uncongeniai
and your head ached and now things
take on a very different value sur
rounded by the inpenetrable dark
ness which shuts out the insistent
demands of the day. 1t becomes very
clear to you all at once that while
someone else could have taken your
place on the pleasuretrip, no one
else is going to write that letter and
Mother is bound to be disappointed.
Remorse pricks the tender spots OF
your supposedly invunerable con-
science.
And then again you promised to take
that small son of yours down town
but you pleaded business engage
ment and told him firmly that nothing
must interfere with business and the
boy must be taught to respect your
rights. But your man didn't appear
as scheduled and when you reached
home and looked in upon the toddler
sleeping in his bed, you couldn't
account for the mist in your eyes.
Somehow, you feel the same way
now. That small son of yours be-
comes infinitely more precious ana
valuable than the profits of the years
business. Strange what difference
there is in the standards of your
day and your night. 1t appeals to
you suddenly that the handclasp of q
friend meant more to you through
the day than that deal you put
through and was so proud of when 1t
happened and for which you receiv
ed the congratulations of your bus
mess associates. 1t comes upon you
stealthily as the gray light which
streaks the East that some of your
values have been falsely inventoried
and that number of things which
you called the essentials of life are in
reality the non-essentials with the
opposite also true. You talk it over
son of yours and you come to kind
of family conclusion that it is the I'M
expected flower by the wayside and
the unexpected song from above, the
word and the touch and the pres
sure of a hand upon yours that you
watch for with a pleasurable anticipa
ton that is not dimmed by reality
And, as you strike deeper into the
roots of things, you begin to look
about you at the men and womer
whom you know and you confess
shamefacedly, that you have judged
them by very superficial things
clothes, culture, style, talent, genius
and whatnot. Your half past two il
the morning judgment tells you wha
these men and women are in theil
souls and you admire them, not 81
much for what they seem to be no.
for what they have done but for Wha
they have tried to do and what the,
would have done if circumstance
had been favorably adjusted.
1t is good for one, this half pas
two in the morning seance with one
conscience. Sometimes, it brings
very dead soul to life again and
very hardened conscience become
impressionable.
