TWELVE OLD DRESSES.

Its going to be a beautiful party,
mother. There are TO be twelve girls,
and each one is to have @ fairy lamp
at her plate Oh. no! not twelve,
either: there will be only eleven OF
us-Belle Marks won't 60
why won't Belle go!" asked
Mildred Smiths mother.
Because she has nothing TO wear
but an old dress, a real old muslin
which has been washed and darned.
All the rest of US have new dresses,
and you know Belle would feel bad.
We are sorry. Everybody loves Belle.
and she knows so many nice games
to play"
Couldn't you persuade her to
go?" asked Mrs. Smith. 1T seems
to me she could have just as nice a
time in an old dress"
"Oh, no, mother, she would feel
queer. l offered to lend her dress
i know you would let me-but she
wouldn't take it,"
81 like her al 1.-The better for that, 4"
said mother. But, Mildred, did you
offer to wear your old dress, too?
Maybe that would make her willing
to CO."
Wear my old dress! o, mother,
don't want to do that"
Very WE'LL" said Mrs. Smith. 81
won't say any more about it. When
you get to have as old eyes as mine.
40
fine dress is one OF the smallest
things in the world-a great, great
deal smaller than giving to any
body single hours pleasure. But
perhaps l am asking too much to ex
pect you to Sc ethat yet"
Mildred went off to school feeling
very much stirred up in her little
mind. The thought of the new blue
dress with it's little frills of lace was
very tempting.
THAT plain old white muslin is
horrid!" she said to herself But
then, it would be SO nice if Belle
could have part of the fun, too"
Was it a white angel that stood at
the little girls side and made it seem
better to please Belle than to wear
her pretty dress? Nobody saw the
wings. but l believe an angel was
there.
At the noon recess Mildred and
Belle ran up to Mary Clifton with
bright faces.
80, Mary" cried Belle, gayly,
please ask me over again to come
to your party; I want to say yes this
time. Did you ever know anything
80 sweet? Mildred is going to wear
her plain old muslin to keep me from
feeling bad"
you won't mind having US in old
dresses. will you, Nary" asked Mil
dred in a Joyous tone. 1--WE are go
ing to carry big punches Of flowers
out of my garden. and that will make
us look fine"
Mind, indeed" cried Nary, 81
just believe
She stopped short off, and kissing
the two little girls, hurried away
without finishing her sentence.
But when the twelve fairy lamps
were lighted, Mildred and Belle
found out what bright idea had
struck Mary. for all twelve girls wore
old dresses and carried punches OF
flowers.
Now, I'm never going to mind
about my old dresses again." said
Belle, as she kissed the others good
bye. you may all wear the newest
sort of dresses after this, and when
put on my old white I'll feel happy
to think how sweet you all were ia
me about it. I'll just love the old
things. Olive Plants.

A FAMILY OF Settlers.

barrel of apples, trying to get them
up the cellar steps. He called for
help, but no response came. After
much struggling he accomplished the

CONTROLLED BY POLICE

Representatives of the Metal Polish
ers,, Moufdersi and Brewery Workers
unions appeared before the council
committee on ordinances. Monday. to
oppose the proposed ordinance to re-
quire all organizations to obtain a
permit from the police commissioner
before holding parade in the city.
Thomas Bunnell, representing the
metal polishers, declared that the
ordinance would give the commission
er the powers of a car over the labor
unions. John Sauter appeared for the
brewery workers, and Aid. Keusch
spoke in behalf OF the moulders.
Commissioners Croul said that the
purpose Of the ordinance was TO pro-
tect the interests Of the unions as
much as those of any others. He
would compel the promoters OF par
AIDES and demonstrations to obtain
licenses so that those which might
prove undesirable would be kept out.
He had no fault 10 find with the way
labor union men conducted their par
AIDES. The committee took the meas
ure under advisement. but will decide
on recommendation for the council
by Tuesday night.

sojourn In the west. With him were

Los Angeles and Pasadena, but didn't
fail TO visit the Grand Canyon In Ari.
zona. As In the case OF all travellers
who see IL, the canyon, one of the
marvels OF nature, made a deep i'm
preston on Mr.. Siegel and the other
members OF the party
THE climate OF California In our
winter time Is most delightful" said
Mr. Siegel TO The Times, Monday.
"We enjoyed the change immensely,
after leaving the zero weather OF the
north. But can tell you that would
not like TO live In that climate all the
time: ! prefer this part of the coun-
try, where We have four seasons in
the year. The California climate has
bad effect on those who live there
all the time IL makes them inactive,
sluggish.
We found business very brisk in
California, particularly In Los An
geles. The people were also talking
politics a great deal. The Republi-
cans are for Roosevelt. while the Dem.
ocrats are split between Wilson and
Clark"

PASTOR PICTURES
SUFFERING SAVIOR

In addressing the gathering In the
Monday MONDAY Lenten service In the
Detroit opera house, the Rev. j. Fred
erick Fitschen, Jr., pastor OF the JEFF
ferson-ave. Presbyterian church, drew
picture of THE suffering Savior"
In the past few weeks OF these
Lenten midday talks we have had
Jesus presented TO us from the hui
man and the intimate side, but for
the ensuing week We must see Him
on the Cross" said DR.. Fitschen. "A
great valley lies between Palm Sun
day and Easter Sunday-the val.
ley OF the Son of Gods hui
initiation. temptation and despair,
ending in His sacrificial death. Jesus
Himself told us as He ntered Jeru-
salem that He must go on to suffering
and to death.
"Of all the founders of religion,
Jesus Christ was the only one to offer
Himself as a sacrifice. Jesus, the
Savior of men! That is the standard
OF the churches today In their appeal
to men. He died that we might enter
the kingdom Of heaven. Jesus reunited
the hearts OF God and man in His
death. Our own battling with sin and
temptation is no greater than Jesus
struggle with temptation during the
short period between His triumphal
entry into Jerusalem and His cruel
fxion. Oh. II We could always re-
member Christ's sacrifice as we plan
our philanthropies and our charities.
II the sacrificial spirit were only with
US in these things! Jesus was teacher,
healer and savior-a suffering Savior. .
The Rev. Charles Bronson Allen will
be the speaker Tuesday.
