WHITE SHOES HERE TO STAY
But to Manufacture Them Unspoiled
 Is a Good Big Problem

From the Hide and Leather Magazine.
 White shoes for ladies, misses and cnh- dren have come to stay,s They are made of white buck side leather white duck anu other fabrics in high gfade welts, turns and Mckays. One of theSgreatest proo- lems in the manufacture of white snoes Is to hffd some way to get the Wofh through the factory without being uaih- aged by stains or dirt. Some manuGac- turers use acovering a Of paper, while oth- ers use cloth covering. In the use or cloth coverings, by carefully taking them off they can be used several times, where as the paper cover is used only once thrown away. Some manufacturers. sFe painting the racks. tables and benches all white and do ont use any covering at ell, while other shops have their worknen use white canvas gloves and plent tXs, oi French chalk lon themF waen handling white work. 1tA KS
 Taking into Consideration the fact that 1t is only the tops or uppers that are eoiled In the work whichais done by the workmans hands, the idea of the canvas gloves well chalked seems to be "a good one It Is almost impossible for the worK- man to keep his hands clean running the various machines, which are bound 10 be oily and dirty, and the operator would waste much time if he stopped to wash hls hands each time after using the machine.

SPIRIT OF CHURCH DINNER
 AGIVES FOOD FOR THOUGHT
BY MRS. J. H. REID.

The serving of a series of dinners by the church ladies means d great deal more than "a good turkey dinner for 50 cents" Such a feeling of good fellowship Is dem onstrated among all the guests. composed of members of every denomination, that it does one good to stand by and see the spirit for all'' so manifest. The meals are served by charming young girls, who enter into their duties to make friends as well as money for the church. and this courtesy means a great deal to many young men who feel themselves new corners to a city and who spend their idle hours in boarding house. This very feature was remarked upon by one of our well known married men, who enjoyed he scene, with young men and young girls dining together. and he frankly said: ''I appreciate this feature of a home dinner for young man. I lived a young man in Birmingham Il years, and do you know in those years l never ate a single meal in home. l lived in a boarding house, and 1 enjoy every minute of my own home now, and it gives me pleasure to have the young men come to my home informally. l know the value of such privilege"
 This gives woman something else to talk about; it evidences fact We are all looking to hear--the value young man places on a home. When he realizes that no spot suffices for the fireside of home it need not be pfetentolis. he has the true foundation for the highest types of Inau,
 AgHin this reminds us among the young men. sons of oar friends, sometimes Kin living in the city, struggling with tho week day duties, do we look him up that he may break bread with us tomprrow and show hims that Ia welcones is his at any time? If not we have lost a great pleasure ourselves and failed in our best opportunity for the greatest hospitality. Somebody is always looking after the girls-the young men will see they have a good time Do you know it takes bit of their earnings to sechre that hour of pleasure for your girl. If dance, the band has to be paid. often by subscrip ton. and often hack Is engaged even though the sun shines all the day anl the cars run right to your door, and then there are fiowers-the florists make a 1;T- ing from their bouquets, But what uo we do for that boy-but make dates" with him?

Can I you see that mother peeping into his fu- ture and hoping for his welfare? You have made him your friend, young girl l your influence will soften the anxiety of that mother heart.

Mont Blanc and the Geographers

From the London Chronicle
 Russia's removal of the Caucasus 10 Europe from Asia involved the recoloring of both continents on the map and upset the old school book fact that Mont Blanc was the highest European mountain. Henceforth the dignity belonged to El- bruz, and Mont Blanc did not even come second. Mont Blanc has always been geographical difficulty in many ways, It never was in Switzerland as thousands probably still believe it to be- Napole"n IT got it's most familiar side transferrs~i from Italy to France. and to this day France and Italy dispute whether its ac- tual summit is wholly French or hali Italian

From the Atlantic Monthly.
 There are several injudcious ways of making the best of things. One of them is illustrated by the humble young curate, pictured long ago in Punch, who protested when the bishop, his host, expressed doubts of an egg the. curate was eating. 9Oh, no, my ilord% I assure you some parts of 1t are excellent" Fancy looking on the bright side of a. bad egg. The eff fort was surely less ingratiating than the c1rate supposed. Indeed this .habit Of seeing good in everything may become the most uncomfortable of vrtues-as distress ing as grim patience, which is common and effective method of wearing out the mind I like to remember the compla- cent old lady who said wien a friend re- minded her that she had had little trouble in her fife 'iYes, but I've made the most of what I have had"

First Woman on English Stage

T
 January is an impoftant anniversary Tn the development of the British drama, for upon this date in 1861 Pepys went to the Glare Market theatre, saw the "Beggar 5 Bush" well performed and records, the first time that I ever saw women come upon the stage."
 Previously all female parts had been taken by boys or young men. The ehange was probably suggested by, Charles Il, from his continental experience and arose from an amusing episode. The king had gone to the theatre before his time" and finding the actors not ready, asked for an explanation whereupon he was gravc'9 informed that "the queen has not shaved Netr As the Merry Monarch loved to laugh at jest as well as to make one, the exdhse was accepted and reform initiated.

on mutual basis, it being impos-
sible for any one person to acquire

the factory. The whole community
is interested and all are stockhold-
