There is brocaded velvet ondoyante-a combination of satin, brocade and vel vet, ondoyante being the French word fer satin-which comes in great variety Of colors and patterns. The velvet forms conventional patterns, somewhat resenl- bling the rich velvet tapestry used for
 upholstering.
 Instead of the satin background for the velvet there Is often one of voile or chif- ion. A smart paquin velvet has a black Voile foundation, with stripes of blacx velvet about three-quarters of an inch wide, the spaces between the stripes being just as wide as the velvet itself. The contrast of voile and velvet must be seen to be appreciated.
 The gold damasks are entirely new. but 1t will take a woman of the regal tyne to show off their shimmering magnificece. They come in lowered patterns, big spiashy flowers. with indistinct outlines that fade into each other and into the background.

Keep Your Windows Open

Don't sleep in a closed room. Fresh air is the basic requisite to good health. A sealed chamber is breeding
 place for disease.
 The lungs utilize all the oxygen they
 breathe and expel their impurities in your
 exhalations.
 Within an hour man consumes all the
 oxygen in the average room. If the win
 dows and transom are down and the
 door is shut, thereafter he breathes foul poisons.
 Rural communities should. by reason of
 natural advantages, be practically i'm

 tistics show a greater percentage of con-
 sumptives among farmers than any other class of people.
 Who isn't familiar with the deadly
 parlor, with its stale atmosphere. where
 for days at a stretch whole generations
 of malignant germs are permitted to in- cubate undisturbed? A week often passes without the admission of sunlight. As well spend an afternoon in smoke filled tunnel as remain in such q pest hole.

A Moving Day Warning

The possible dangers of moving into a house. the former tenants of which are unknown, and d cheap and efficient means of disinfection. are contained in bulle- tin issued by the Wisconsin An.i-Tubercu- losis association.
 Investigation conducted in various cities of the state have shown that many cases of tuberculosis are due to families maying into an undisinfected house, the former occupant of which was con simptive. It is in an attempt to prevent this that the warning is issued and d method of disinfection is given.
 The formaldehyde disinfection is en- ployed by the New York city health le- pertinent. In preparing the house, all outside cracks in windows, doors. walls TOT floor should be closed with cotton or strips of cloth. It also should be renlen- bered that, after the gas has been gen. erated. it is necessary to leave the house as soon as possible. It Is possible after the disinfection to run in and open the door and windows. It is recommended that the disinfection should last over night, or from six to ten hours.
 Formaldehyde is a gas put on the mar ket in the form of solution in water N1'he gas Is generated by pouring the solu- ton on crystal of potassium perman- ganate.

Old Mothers

I love old mothers-mothers with white
 hair, And kindly eyes and lips grown softly
 sweet With murmured blessings over sleeping babies, There is something to their quiet grace That speaks the calm of Sabbath after
 moons; A knowledge in their deep. unfaltering
 eyes That far outreaches all philosophy Time with caressing touch, about them a4EF weaVes The silver-headed fairy-shawl of age, While all the echoes of forgotten songs Seem joined to lend a sweetness to their
 speech. Their trembling hands cling, gently to youths strength: Sweet mothers. as they pass, one sees
 again Old garden walks, old roses and old loves.

The Rev. Il. A. Lankin, pastor OF the

the comment of Mr.. Burch. and ex.
pressed a wish that the conference
would take some action in the matter.
Nothing was done, however, the
conference passing on to other mat.

OF the remarks of Pastors Burch and

The address OF the morning was de-
livered by the Rev. j. Y. Aitchesen, OF
Chicago, whose subject was The

He emphasized the need of every
member OF Baptist churches being
canvassed for church and missionary
contributions, and Endorsed the duplex
envelope system for the work. The
| Baptist church in Michigan, instead OF
giving three cents per member for
missions, ought to be giving at least
10 cents, he said.
There are scores OF people who
are stagnating the church in spir-
itual way, because of their lack OF
support to missions" said Mr.. Aitche-
son. An investment of a percentage
of a mans earnings toward mission
