Who Fought to Save the
Union in the Sixties

Benediction
The pastor, Rev. j. T. 3. Smith,
had charge of the services, and
preached the sermon. The regular
church choir furnished the excellent
music. The pastor took his text from
Exodus XII: 14-''And this shall be
unto you for memorial; and We shall
keep it a feast to the Lord through
out your generations; We shall keep it
feast by an ordinance forever" He
said in part:
"We are met to honor the departed
dead, and this Memorial Sunday re-
minds us of the football of death of
men in whom the entire nation is in
terested and indebted. Some homes
in the civil war gave not only the
first born, but husband, sons and
brothers, these fought to pay the
price of perpetual freedom and union.
We should keep their memory sacred
and honor them because of the spirit
of sacrifice they showed. This is a
Christian virtue, and the civil war
gave us an example of sacrifice. These
men left all and risked all earthly
things. This sacrifice reminds us of
the Divine sacrifice made by God and
Christ, who though rich became poor
to save men from sin and self and
Satan.
"The war also teaches us the Chris
tian virtue of Union. 1t was against
secession. So Gods love was to save
us from seceeding from His family.
IL was all for one and one for all as
the motto of the veterans. They
died to save the whole, and keep the
union of the states. They died for
their country, for others, for the good
of the whole world. This was Christ s
idea when he taught us we were one,
and said when We pray say: "Ou1
Father" God is Father, we are all His
children. His wish is for one fold
and one shepard. In union is peace,
in secession there is war and devast.

Gossip of the Shops

There is to be q revival of braid pins. The Grecian coil which brings the llair down low on the neck, makes them nec- essary and also explains the reason why side combs are again making their ap- pearanee in the shops and on the eoun- ters. The abraid pins have square shaped instead of round tops.
 Bracelets are much carved and fit close to the pretty arm about which they arc snapped like the barbaric ornaments and bands of 2. Nubian chief. There is DO doubt about their becomingness, if the arm be plump and rosy.
 Extremely swagger and Frenchy are the new moire silk handbags. They como direct from Paris and are studded with Oriental lavishness with colored wooden beads in those indescribable exquisite combinations of color which only French taste is able to consummate. The silk is either catawba. ecru, garnet, gray or light tan and the beads and braid form delightful harmonies and contrasts with the foundation color The lining is white satin and there is a bronze frame. But fhe most unique feature is an extremely long cord which passes over the shoulder lipe the strap of a field glass case. \ ring passes up and down the cord. so that it may be adjusted to the wearer'a comfort.

Helpful Hints for the Overly
 Nervous

We cannot go back to nature.
 Times of intensity and imperfect con- trol have always preceded great con- trolled activities.
 A nervous type is being produced, adapted to perform the work now most needed in the world.
 Every child must be known as an in- diyidual and helped to understand him. self.
 Much of the theory of hereditary ills must be thrown aside with other super stitons
 The importance of eye strain often seems to be overestimated.
 The danger is not in overwork, but in doing work to which one is not adapted.
 Work. properly done. is restorative. Un- der unfavorable conditions 1t makes lfo nervously hard. but mental work done hygienically must be believed one of the most normal and life saving activities.o
 Unpleasant and ugly emotions generaNs toxins that poison the system.
 Music, reading, light games and travel are ideal recreations Travel is made up most important considerations. Travel agination, if you cannot afford Q trip sbroad.
 Most people sleep enough, but few know bow to rest when awake. Perfect rest is obtained by perfect stiffness.
 Strike a happy medium in the matters of diet, bathing and exercise. Banish fear in all it's forms. Investigate mental cults Realize your right to live a com plete life.

Russian basso, Chaliapine. He was ac- companied by his tiny, highly tempera-
 mental Italian wife and their young est child, a boy of two and a half years old. Chaliapine adored the child
 who, to my everlasting delight. adopted
 me as his 'liebe tante" on the very first day of the voyage.
 | My personal attraction for the child was twofold. He coverted and daily borrowed my steamer cap, and his com
 inand of languages at meal time com prised only CD three, the Russian of his Father, the Italian of his mother | and. most fortunately for me, the Ger
 man of his nurse. He spoke all three
 CT these with quite headlong fluency. He was regular little chatter box and he couldn't converse with the other
 passengers because they spoke only French.
 As the child was almost constantly with me l naturally came to know his father very we'll and l could never
 make up my mind as to which one of them, the baby or the big man, was the more highly sensitive, the more en- tirely frank or the more utterly con- fiding.
 The interesting ingenuousness of the giant Chaliapine recalls itself to me just now after reading the appended about the tremendously tall Austrian tenor Leo Sezak. Here is the clipping:
 win you plees to tell the people that ! am nice white man?" begged Leo Siezak of the newspaper men of At lanta when the Metropolitan opera compahy was playing its spring en- gagement there. Siezaks friends had been giving him interesting little word nictnres of how southerners would harg

Flowers in Japan


 'T was quite interested said wo- man. who is much of a globe girdler, ito read the other day how particular the Japanese are in the matter of ar ranging flowers in their homes l know when we were in Japan nothing impressed me more than the constant evidences of real talent in the way flowers were disposed here and there, whether within doors of without.
 On inquiry I learned that there are in Japan men who devote their lives to the art of floral arrangement. profes- sors, as it were, of this art. They have studied the arrangement of flowers so that 1t has become a science as well as l an art and as a result they have cer- tain well defined rules as a basis for their instruction. A man or woman Is not considered really educated in Japan, 1 was told. unless a course in flower training had been taken.
 T never went into a Japanese home but I paid special attention to the tokonoma or flower niche. This is in the principal room and is a space set apart for the display of flowers. The Japanese regard it with real venera- ton.
 Another custom the Japanese have that appealed to me is that of having special flower tables. These tables are usualiN or teak Noou, cedar or lacquer, most carefully proportioned and ex- tremely simple in their lines. On them flowers alone are placed-never with any bric-a-brac. As much attention is given to placing the table so it will have a harmonious and artistic back ground as is given to the arrange ment of the flowers themselves
 Just one word more. The Japanese have the faculty of making a few flowers serve the purpose of decora- tion. in a way that would put us to shame here, all of which goes to show that there is as much to be learned about arranging flowers as about all most anything else.

A Prayer

Not for the blazoned sorrows, Lord That Haunt their purple in the mar ket place, But for griefs fearful, secret sword, That hides it's piercing from the day
 lights face.
 Pity, I say. Not to those ills the world may know Nor plaints. whose meanings all the
 world may hear. But to the lonely midnight woe, That turks meath laughter in the noontide clear,
 Give ease today. Not for those weeping ones, who share Their tears with others, in mingled rain, But for the silent brave, who bear With smiles their burden of an un- guessed pain,
 For these, l pray. Lillian White Spencer, in the Met roDolitan.

The Other Side of Life

[ had been troubled for some time be- cause my cook Matilda had seemed rather depressed and out of sorts. I feared she might be dissatisfied with her surround ings. and with this thought in mind I spoke to her. Her answer was simple and direct, and made me realize how often we fall into the way of eliminating all but our own viewpoint on which to base an argument.
 Perhaps you are not we'll" I said, by WAY O. comforting her
 "Oh. yes.' was the wAman's reply. T am perfectly well. You, too, are often S. iious looking. There are other things besides not feeling we'll that trouble us sometimes-things that come into our lives that we cannot help. We don't mean to be cross, but we just cant keep on smiling"

themselves into my mind that had not been there before. How little We know of the real things in the lives of those around Us. Ne pay those we employ; oc- cesionally we give them a present. we direct them in their work; we reprove or praise, as the case may be, but it all has to do with ourselves. with what we get from them. So far as they them- selves are concerned, their hopes, their fears. longings and aspirations, their troubles or their temptations, seldom form part of our thoughts.
 We receive; we do not eive-at least, not in any broad sense-and not beyond our nearest and dearest. Life is too complex some one objects; our days are too full; we have no time to give beyond our own.
 But we have, and if we stop to think, we know We have. No day is so full that we cannot take fraction of it and give it, fraught with sympathy and help, to another

Velvet shoes are in very high favor, and are worn with stockings in brilliant hues such as foliage green, with a black costume.
 Small hats are not drawn over the head so far as they have been, but are now worn to show more of the wearer's face and hair.
 Chenille, which for many years has leen out of favor. has returned and promised to be more fashionable than il ever was, even in the old days.
 Big. flat shapes, with oval crowns, having very little trimming. are the hats of the moment Many are faced with velvet in cOlors.

Giant Intellect of Small Men

Prof. Arthur Keith of the Royal Col leg of Surgeons, England, recently de- clared that the small man is invar- iably the intellectual superior of the tall man"
 Look" he said. lat all or nearly all of the prominent figures in the world $ history. The great Caesar was anything but tall man. Napoleon was distinctly small, and so was Sir Isaac Newton Tn our own day in the world of arms there is Lord Roberts. in the world of polt- tics Lloyd-George. In the last war the little Japs beat the big Russians. In all the evolutions of mechanical skill lit tie man as q rule predominated."
 Whether Professor Eeith'S remarks have any substantial basis in fact oi not, it is interesting to note that ir the history of the United States per haps larger proportion of the mos; eminent men have been tall, Lincoln and Jackson. for example.

Where Abraham Fished

Mrs. Victoria de Bunsen in "The Soul of Turk" relates Q legend con corning Abraham which will be new to many readers. She learned of it while at Edessa, the traditional Ur of the Chaidees. She was shown there large oblong tank of water so filled with fishes resting just below the sur fact of the water that their fins and backs seemed almost wedged together so as to form "an almost solid layer of silverY life"
 The guardian of the mosque throws some meal into the water and the fish Jump high to catch if, a great living pyramid, of which those which jump the highest form the pinnacle. The tradition is that Abraham as a child hshed in the tank; hence the fish were considered sacred. No single one has been caught or killed to this day. h. deed, death would overtake the man who transgressed this law"

 What is my advice to other women on the subject of picking husband? Do just as you please There is no rule to go by. The woman takes the chance any, way. Women are intended for marriage. 1t is their only chance for happiness, but as I said before, if possible, choose homely men and poor men-men who will be flattered at their acceptapce-and it the woman is not too good looking, so much the better
