By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

Divinely tall and most divinely fair, ton, who Is the Leading Lady in "The Call of the Heart" round at the Bijou this week, had the scribe let 1t go at simply viewing the performance, and could not think of a fresher way of saying she looked like Christy or a Gibson girl
 But
 You can never entirely depend upon what the stage tells you about things, particularly If you are a woman, and long for added inches, and wear a sheeny. supple, slnky, graceful. taupe gown with a wide panel of irrides- cent embroidery bannering outward and downward from the shoulders to the hem of the skirt.
 In her "big scenes" Miss Hamilton almost ''towers"-you remember her wonderfully dramatic role in Beg gars,' several seasons ago-and yet when you see this clever actress off the stage, she is no taller than you, or I, or Nazimova, or Maude Adams, or any of the rest of us.
 She only LOOKS the part!
 The taupe gown helps a whole lot, and then she knows how to carry every inch of her petite stature
 When I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Hamilton at the Hotel Hillman yesterday the first thing that impressed me with this charming woman, was just the fact that I have mentioned.
 What little mite of a woman she is to be sure-and yet how tall she grows as soon as she begins to talk.
 And
 The next impression l had was that her voice was very beautiful.
 It has that deep nasal sort of quality; don't know exactly how to describe it-but any way it reminds you of Ethel Barrymore's, and Mrs. LeMoynes, you know the quality of theirs, and Its simply delightful to hear her speak.
 Her big brown eyes, and that passing sweet enchantment-an exquisitly mod ulated voice are certainly enough as- sets for any one woman to begin with aren't they? and add to those very magnetic personality, and you have d pen picture of the clever little woman who is making such big hit this week in the premiere production of Leta Vances' play, in Birmingham.
 I commented upon the fact to Miss Hamilton as soon as we had exchanged greetings, to my surprise in finding her so tiny, and suggested that the great Russian actress, Nazimova, had much the same trick of making herself tall,

Red Ink Stain Spots

kindly advise as to the best way. to re- move spots. originally red ink stains, from a gray whipped cord skirt. used an ink eradicator, but it left the spot pale pink and yellow. Soap and water did not af- feet it either way. HELEN A.
 The soap and water set the stains. You may try now covering them with starch made into thick paste with household ammonia. Leave it alone for three days and brush off, repeating if necessary. I have seen wonders done by this application and seen it fail in perhaps per cent of the cases tried. It can do no harm.

 Politicians de luxe, women of elegance and culture, fighting side by side with the men leaders of the various parties, are no longer confined to England. They are here, now, and working like so many Trojans; and their culture, in politics and purposes. is about as much broader as this land is broader than Britain, while their practical politics compares with the British woman dlettante's about as a triphammer does with a finger tap.

task imposed. There are many laborers
with earnest, consecrated hearts engaged
in the mission work of this land; and l
believe that God is stirring the hearts OF
his people generally to greater compre-
hension of duty and obligation than ever
before.
In past days an occasional missionary
meeting was held, and not usually large
ly attended: and an occasional sermon
preached, and that was the extent of in
struction and information the church
membership received. Now we have mis-
sion study classes, and scores of young
people In almost every church are deeply
interested and applying themselves with
a students zeal to gain knowledge and
comprehension of the great missionary
problems of their own and other lands
Missionary committees are appointed in
the churches whose duties are to arrange
for interesting and instructive services on
missionary topics.
The Christian Endeavor and other
young peoples societies have regular and
special occasions for considering from
time to time all phases of missionary en-
deavor. The Sabbath schools have their
mission bands and their contributions
support, in part at least missionaries in
the field.
All this is far different from what it
was in the past, and | find in 1t the prom

Jurisdiction of the see of Canterbury,

Australian autonomy. Some efforts are
also being put forth to secure corpora
ton of Roman and Greek Catholic bish-
ops, with more promise of success, it is
reported, than had been hoped for at the
outset, especially on the part Of the lat
ter.
One result of the conference of Angli-
cans just held is the fixing upon New
York as the place for the holding of the
world conference. The American deputa-
ton made no recommendation on the SUBJ
ject. but the English bishops said the
project would be helped materially in
their communion If 1t were generally
made known that the project as a whole
had an American origin, and that the
world conference itself were likely to be
held on American soil. The American
deputation, it is said, makes no comment.

find delight in spending the remainder
of my days in teaching by moving
pictures the great lessons Of a worthy
and happy home and social life and the
grandeur of a Christian life in all that it
promises for the present and the future.
Every one knows that unless the incOm-
ing millions who are ignorant of our be-
liefs and cherished ideals are evangel-
fzeo they will destroy the excellence and
glory of our nation. All progress in
North America depends upon our main
tanning and advancing the Christian civil
ization we inherited from our fathers.
We have unequaled material resources
of wealth, but what will that avail when
our Americanism and our cherished tradi-
lions of Puritan nobility of life and char
acter have been submerged by tide OF
degrading faiths and practices of peo-
pie foreign not near SO much to our land
as they are to every principle and hope
we hold dear? The tremendous wealth
we have must be used to SOW the gospel
seed among the vast influx of foreigners
or in the end we shall be poor indeed.
The progress in North America de-
ponds more largely in what we can do
to evangelize the immigrant than in any
thing else. What are AL the Christian
Endeavor societies in our land doing?
And what is each individual Endeavorer
doing to reach the heathen-that is, the
Christian foregner-at our doors?
Answer not to me, but to your con-
science and to God.
The Christian Endeavor Society was
born in America. but it has gone forth
into far-distant lands. 1t has its soci-
cites in the uttermOSt parts of the earth,
and has proved itself beneficent agency
for righteousness in many lands and
among many races of men. Today 1t
can reach almost any tribe, kindred and
tongue of earth at the very home of its
sion in many ways both at home and
abroad.

BILE race, long shut out from the worlds
arena of development and progress, and
now strongly appealing for our assist
ance. So also the freedmen of the south.
nine millions of whom, recently out OF
slavery, and for that reason still slaves
to ignorance and superstition, are appeal
ing for missionary service and help; and
the natives of all our acquired possess
sionS are calling loudly for all the help
that missionary endeayor can afford.
On the topic for April 2S last Home
Missions" l referred at some length to
the missionary work with the Indians,
the freedmen, the mountaineers and the
natives OF both the old and the newly
acquired possessions, and Z will only add
here the statement that every Christian
oblfgat on OF duty requires that we do all
in our power for all these people in the
interests of North American progress, but
more especially in the interest OF Christs
kingdom. While our duty to respond to
the cia ms of the Indian, the freedman.
the mountalneerS and the natives of our
acquired possess ionS is imperative, and
God. yet in none Of these mission fields
does our neglect SO endanger our free in
stitutions and the br ght destiny OF our
republic as does the neglect of our duty
to the immigrants now SO rapidly filling
our land. For that reason ! have devoted
my thoughts mainly to that phase of
North American progress.
In recent years we have witnessed a
marked AWAKENING toward Dotn poHtlcii
and commercial integrity. but unless this
moral wave affects the vast hordes OF the
new as well as the old citizenship of our
land it is influencing only m nority. not
not the majority. and the era of our de-
cline and fall would not be far distant.
But I am not pessimisi- God reigns-
His hand is not shortened that it cannot
reach. His church is to be tr triumphant.
Christ is ca ns upon it to awake and
publish the good tidings of peace and sal
walton.
Awake, awake; put on thy strength,
O Zion: put on thy beautiful garments,
o Jeru "a ,enI, the holy city; for henceforth
there shall no more come into thee the
uncircumcised and the unclean."
How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of Him that bringeth good
It'd ngs. that publsheth peace; that bring
eth good tidings of good, that publisheth
salvation: that sayeth unto Zion, Thy God
reigneth."
