1t was when the widow Armstrong

happened In the life of Mr. Phillips
He found himself thinking Of her

summer kitchen built on to her house,
or the picket fence repaired, but OF
her as prospective wife. He thought
and blushed. He thought and lodged.
He thought and felt chills. 1t was

they got foothold they stuck by him
like a porous plaster. But what

DECORATIONS FOR BRASS BED GOOD FEATURE IN LINeER
Idea That Makes for Comfort and
Adds to Appearance of
Room.

Brass beds look charming and at
ira active and often brighten an other
wise dark bedroom, but many people
complain that they are far colder
than an ordinary wooden bed that
has high head and footboard to pro-
tect them from drafts. To overcome
this objection a clever woman de-
vised a scheme which not only cor
rected this defect. but also added a
decorative note to the room.
The hangings and window seat we're
made of gray chintz, having garlands
of pink roses scattered over the sur
face. She bought more OF this mate
rial and made covers that slipped
easily over the brass rods at the
head and foot Of the bed. These were
finished at the bottom with dainty
frills of the material A frill was also
fastened around the mattress. which
showed beneath the bedspread.
The covers were found not only to
add much to the physical comfort,
but were also useful in protecting the
brass from the usual dents and
scratches that are apt to come with
the daily wear and tear OF a much
used room.
They were made to be removed

most liberal and kind-hearted people
to be found are not members of any
church. The Southern Methodists
have only one hospital in this coun-
try, which is located in Atlanta, Ga,
It has six in the foreign fields. The
one located in Suchow, China, treated
over 10000 patients last year, and the
one at Monterey, Mexico, treated
over 10000. These two institutions
have become self-sustaining and are
no longer asking aid from the mission
board. If they can accomplish such
great things in heather land, there
is no sane reason, why they cannot
succeed here. Hospitals, rescue mis-
sions and orphanages stand for practi
cal religion. Medicine Is gift of
God, as much so as faith, and should
be used in healing the sick. The test
of true religion is its power to help
men, relieve the suffering and trans
form the lives of men. The execu-
tive committee will meet again on
