Fashion Odds and Ends.

Blouses made of thin fabrics often look
untidy and unfinished at the back, owing
to the difficulty of concealing the sewing
on OF the hooks or buttons. A neat way
to do this is to stitch on small box
plat after the hooks have been sewn
on, or the sewing which shows through
can be covered over with lace. band
OF embroidery or any suitable trimming
When it IS the placket hole that is
hanging loosely and, in the case of a
fragile fabric. it seems likely to tear sew
a hook and eye as far down each side as
possible and press the hook together TO
keep it from coming unfastened. This
will hold the ends of the placket hole to-
gether and prevent any chance Of their
dragging and tearing.

THE DAILY CHlT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

The little mother had been searching
diligently for a pair of gloves, which
had cleverly secreted themselves in some
out-of-the-Way corner.
She did not find them, but did bring
forth my riding crop which had also been
among the missing for some months
We'll. that's the way it always is" she
said, as she restored the crop to its
proper place. when l look for one thing

1t is so, isn't It?
You've had that experience yourself,
haven't you, my friend? Perhaps you
dropped a collar button under the chit

assuased when in the course of your
SroVeilug you found that little silver pin
you thought you had lost for keeps
Perhaps you We're hunting through your
desk for a receipted bill, when you STUN
bled upon that little snapshot of the baby
which YOU had searched for so many
times in vain
And, of course, as YOU brought your
treasure triumphantly forth to be con-
graduated upon, you uttered that good
old bromide-'Whene / look for one
thing, | find another"
Now. did it ever occur to you that it's
just the same about bigger things-about
mental and moral qualities-that is, when
you are looking very hard for one thing

You don't see just what I mean? /
don't blame you. Let me make it clearer
by illustration.
Suppose you make up your mind that
you are going to try with al your might
to be popular. AS like as not the very in
tensity OF your desire illustrates you, SO
that you do not win popularity. And
then, suppose you have a change of heart
and decide that II IS more desirable to be
lovable than to be loved. and start out

by when you have quite forgotten about
popularity, it is yours. In looking for
one thing you have found another.
Suppose, again, your one ambition is to
earn a great deal of money. Money is
the greatest thing III life and you are go
ing to have it willy nil,y. And then you
find that money is very hard to get and
that it is unlikely you will ever be a
millionaire anyway, and YOU make up
your mind to be content with doing just
the best kind of work you know how.
Who knows but that by and by you will
find that the financial success is coming
to you as a by-prOduct of the greater
gain. In looking for one thing you have
found another.
Do YOU remember how Lowells Sir
Launfall went searching al over the
world for the Holy Grail and quite in
vain? 1t was only when he gave up the
search and bent his energies toward low

For a Girls Den.

Every girl deep down in her heart has a
desire for a den where she may exer-
else her individual taste to suit her own
sweet will Those who go to boarding
school or college may realize this wish
to some extent but the hundreds Of girls
who STAY at home seldom get a chance to
crafty the desire
However, with some thought and very
little expense, the bedroom. no matter
how small and unattractive, may be
turned into an ideal den in which girl
NAV express her taste as cleverly as in
a room designed solely for the purpose.
The rooms in which we live show our
individuality just as plainly as do our
clothes They are outward and visible
evidence of inward refinement, and should
be made as expressive as possible of the
occupants personality. OF course, every
girl will evolve a different scheme for
herself but here is the way in which one
clever girl made her room into verita-
BILE bower of beauty at comparatively
small expense.

SECULAR BUSINESS SHOULD NOT
IMPOSE UPON THE CHURCHES.

Individuals and organizations have
made such demand upon the
churches for opportunity to advertise
their projects during the Sunday SER
vices, that congregations are steadily
lifted out of the religious spirit with
which they are enveloped by the mu-
sic and the preaching of the Gospel,
and are set down in the midst of sor-
did commercialism by hearing sue
cession of announcements of meet
ings for secular purposes, entertain
ments that have no connection with
the church, and some that are in
downright opposition to church teach
ings 1t is not our desire to condemn
meetings or entertainments, but we
see no reason why secular business
should impose upon the churches.
many of the notices which are read in
the churches are published in the
press free of charge. Others cost but
little The loss of efficiency for the
minister and for the church which is
perverted to such secular uses Is not
Offset by the gain to the persons who
impose upon them. To our way OF
thinking it is just the outgrowth OF
habit. 1t is not necessary. 1t leads 10
bad consequences.
The Ministerial Union should take
the matter up and legislate. One min
lister might hesitate to undertake 10
stop the practice. but the Union can
and ought to act. The church has
high place in civilization. Its leader
ship of our race is for good. 1t COM
mands the time and brain of our best
men and women. For it to be petty
and commercial is to lose prestige. Its
arms should be lifted up. We should
all try to exalt it and the men who
stand at the head. Even our selfish
needs should not tempt AIS to abuse it,
