The Battle Was tho Lcrd's, and Of
Course He Won
Benhadad sent his demands to King
{Ahab saying. Thy silver and thy gold
kare mine: thy wives and thy children.
{evea the gOodliest Of thine" King
EAhab, recognizing the greatness OF the
arny and his own unpreparedness for
resisting them, answered. MY LORD.
o King, according to thy saying, am
thine, l and all that 1 have" But
when the invader broadened his de-
hand and included with it the wealth
f all the mobiles Of Israel, their wives
Ind their children, etc., resistance was
aroused. Thereupon the invaders set
the battle army against the walls OF
Isfael's Capital. Samaria.
At this juncture God sent Prophet
to Israea's King, informing him that
ke would deliver the invaders into his
hald and give hin q great victory.
The astouished Ahab asked BY whom
would the battle be waged against the
host. The answer was that at the
command the princes Of the provinces
should Aght uader Ahab's direction,
supported by the militia. By this sig
nal victory Gol would demonstrate
his power By protecting the aaisn
with whom he had made the Law
Covenant.
The Divine order was followed. TIVE
hundred and thirty-two princes. or
chiefs. Of the people at neon passed
ont of the gates Of the city. followea
by seven thousand HRilida-a email
number wherewith to meet q hest.
SAppareltiy this was poor geHeralship;
{but the Lord was the General and
kyerruled the results. King Bsahadaa
and his associates had been drinking.
The Syrians wore ordeced to capture
the men alive. But this they did not
do. Soon the Syrian forces were IN
disorder and completely routed. Hu-
manly speaking, the battle was lost by
Beahadads over-confdeace. and par
Hcslar,y by his indulgence In intsd-
eating liquors.
Lessons Which We May Draw
The honest, the holy. the reverential
OF mankind. who seek peace and right
eousuess may be nkened to Israel, to
Gods people. Benhadad and his thirty
two kings and their armies would cor
respond to Satan and his various hosts
OF unrghteousneSs. We may name
these hosts as we please. To some,
one portion. and to others. other por-
tions Of these hosts are the more rep
! rehensibIe. Many of these kings may
represent various Trusts which. by
manipulation Of life's necessities, are
attacking the welfare Of the people.
Others Of these kings may represent
political grafters. Others may repre-,
sent various vices which prey upon the
public, including intemperance. The
forces thus set in battle array against
the public are appalling, especially
when the wealth at their command Is
considered.

Crepe de Chine Back
For Another Season

After a rest Of a few seasons, there
is a renewed popularity accorded to all
the crepes de chine that we had almost
forgotten.
1t is difficult to trace the reinstalla-
ton in favor of a material. The or
dlnary outsider reasons that "once a
good material always a good ma
terial." but not so does the designer
decide. So our fashions have cycles
of fabrics as we'll as of lines or colors.
At any rate, buy crepe de chine If
you can.
1t will be used for evening dresses
in combination with lace and satin.
It will be used for little girls dresses,
for growing ones of the high school
age and for women whom we class as
above twenty-five years.
The field is delightfully."- wide. Blouses,
perhaps, show the favoritism given
crepe de chine more than any other de-
partment of dress. The double width
material conveniently cuts the popular
kimono blouse. and as practically two
lengths will make a blouse, you can
quickly calculate the cost. The genuine
and subsleeves, of course, are more ef-
fective when they are OF lace or net.
Crepe de chine admits of many kinds
of decoration. 1t takes stencil dyes
very well. Entire borders can be ap-
piled to dresses. and, indeed, this
method has never been fully appre-
ciated by the home dressmaker.

Birthday Collections
Formed by Giving the

preciated by the youthful daughter,
some other gift is made in connection
with it, but the main effort is put in
the trousseau present.
Another mother is collecting table SILL

presented with two heavy forks, until
the dozen Is completed: then another Is
started, three and even four forks be-
ing given of the smaller sizes. The
child is now ten and has a dozen Of the
large dinner forks and a dozen break
fast forks.
This will be followed by salad and
oyster forks, when spoons will be
started.
1t is important in making such a COL
lection to choose a pattern that IS car
ried from year to year, not one that is
passing fad, and to complete the set
will he impossible. Get the heaviest
weight silver to be found. Mark on the
front of fork with initials and on back
may be put year 1t is given to add in
terest to the collection.
A collection that has immediate value,
and will be of use whether the daughter
marries or not, is to present her each
year with a handsome piece OF ma
hogany furniture for her room. Choose
designs with simple lines, but beautiful
marking, and they will be desirable al
ways, as modern furniture never Is.
Sets OF books, standard authors in
good editions, are given each year by an
uncle to his namesake. By the time the
boy is of age he will have a valuable
library, and the books are already form
ing his taste for good literature.

Plenty of Fresh Air
And Pure Water Bring
Strength and Health
By FRANCES CARROLL.

, tween meals daily is essential to the
| health of the body.
Yet there are many women who boast
of the fact that they drink no water
whatever.
Two glasses of cool, pure water should
be taken slowly upon rising. Ice water
should never be drunk, and If the glass
of cold water produces nausea, as is
the case sometimes with certain people,
drink it hOt-not lukewarm-but just as
hot as it can be swallowed. The juice
of half q lemon squeezed into a cup of
hot water early in the morning Is an
excellent medicine. 1t will act upon the
sluggish liver and work wonders with
the complexion.
Water should not be taken with meals,
but two glasses between each meal will
keep the body clean and carry off its
poisOns.
Every right thinking woman desires
freshness and prettiness, both of face
and figure, yet few women who have
this desire take the trouble to follow the
simplest possible rules toward its at
tainment.
Even the woman who Is a fresh-air
enthusiast, often neglects drinking suf-
ficient water to keep herself we'll, and
i'll health saps vitality. Every illness
against the preservation of youth and
good looks.
Try the water remedy faithfully for
that tired feeling that creeps over you
perhaps before the day is half done; for
the headache you have been having, and
the general debility and lowered vi
tality.
If one will be faithful unto these
two simple rules of plenty of pure water
and plenty of fresh air 1t will save the
necessity Of consulting a doctor in many
cases.
The Washington times., 1911-02-16
Fashions
and Fads

THE woman who neglects two or
three simple rules that would
give her a fresh, soft, youthful
complexion, II they were faithful
ly followed, and spends her time run
ming to beauty shops is like the man
who goes to the other ends of the earth
to find gold when 1t lies in his own
back yard If only he would take a
spade and turn the sod.
Yet both Of these things frequently
happen.
1 had the point illustrated to me
1orcibly a few days ago when 1 told a
certain friend of mine who is very near
ly fifty, that her complexion was more
like that of a woman of twenty-five.
Simple enough" she laughed, plenty
Of fresh air and plenty of pure water.
Don't you KNOW" she went on
thoughtfully, that many women who
are scrupulous in the matter of the
daily bath for the outside of the body
give never a thought to the internal
bath, which means more to their health
than the external one?
They wouldn't know what you were
talking about II you said anything about
internal cleanliness. Why, l drink
twelve glasses of pure water between
meals every day. and 1 sleep with every
window in my bedroom open at night
my days trotting to a masseuse to
eliminate wrinkles, nor stuffing drugs
for a muddy complexion" she ended,

THERE is a custom in the royal
family Of England in regard to
i birthdays that American parents
Will do well to copy-to a lesser
degree.
On the birth Of a daughter and or
each birthday succeeding, the young
prtncesses are presented by their
parents with one or two valuable pearls.
Thus, Princess Mary, by the time she is
eighteen, will have a handsome neck
lace Of her own.
Parents of moderate means, though
they may not be able to afford pearls,
can present to their daughters some BIT
of JeweIry that is really good. These
should match in setting and stones until
set is completed. For the tiny tot
there could be cuff pins, veil pins,
clasps, and lockets, leaving the more
formal shapes to advancing years.
When one set is completed another
may be started, or the form of the col
lection can be varied. Much handsomer
toilet silver can be acquired in this way
than II bought en- masse.
One American mother follows the
German custom. and on each birthday
gives her daughter a handsome piece
OF linen for her dover chest. Some
times 1t is q dozen embroidered nap
kins, again a handsome table cloth-of

cube has taken its proper share IN MS

the proper care and have trained him
to appreciate the qualities Of the new
bricks in a way he could not have done
had you not given him the equal sided,
equal sized forms first.
He has learned that the cube Is
square. Now teach him that the new
divisions are oblong.
THAT is a hard word for little boy
to remember. isn't it?" says mother,
knowing well that he will promptly say,
as he does:
Huh! can remember It."

he can with the bricks. Then. using

Two Attractive Wardrobe
Suggestions for
Travellers.

For the early spring wardrobe, here
are two attractive and useful sug-
gestions for a long coat and a smart
trottiDg suit. The illustration on the
left Is semi-fiting, single breasted loEg
coat, which could be used as a travel
ing coat or for general utility wear,
made of cheviot, polo coating. or broad
cloth. 1t could also be used as a duster
for automobiling, made of natural COL
or linen crash or for general wear for
the summer, in serge or pongee.
The coat can be made with a shawl
or notched collar, and has two-pIece
full-length sleeves, with or without the
turn-back cuffs. 1t is a long coat, size
sixteen years, measuring forty-three
Inches at the center-back. This IS

piece full-length sleeves. with turn-back
cuff. The lower edge of the side-front
and the side-back are heightened by
applied sections, which lap at the un-

with a few fancy bone buttons. The
length of the coat at the center-back
is twenty eight inches. and the pattern
is cut III sizes 16, II. is and 20 years.

With step triumphant and heart of cheer;
Who fights .he daily battle without fear;
Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfalterng trust
That God is God that somehow, true and just
His plans work out for mortas; not tear
Is shed when fortune, which the world holds dear
Falls from his grasp; better, with love, crust
Than living in dishonor; envies not,
Nor loses faith in man; but does his best
Nor ever mourns his humber lot,
But with a smile and words of hope, gives zest
To every toer; he alone is great,
Who by a, life heroic conquers fate.
