USE OF FUR AND LACE
ON MiDWiNTER HATS

Trimmings of fur ON hats are noted
almost without limit. Both the long
and short haired varieties are in use.
Skunk Is. perhaps. the most popular.
Imitation seal is frequently seen. and
ermine and mole are much used. IN
addition to real seal on high-class
models. Skunk and opossum are en-
ployed in wide and narrow bands, the
narrower bands being used like
fringe on the edge of the brim and to
outline the edges of loops or donkey
ears OF velvet, lace, maline. etc. FIRE.
quently use Is made Of a narrow roll
of skunk, opossum, mole or ermine
around the crown, with q fiat bow OF
the same fur at one side Of the crown.
Not only are small turbans and
close-ftting hats shown In fur OF all
kinds, but large trimmed models are
noted entirely covered with one OF the
short-haired furs. In the very large
picture shapes the crown and upper
brim are covered with seal, moleskin
or ermine, while the under brim is
faced with velvet, silk maline. lace or
such material. A French model with
broad brim and low, round crown
had the crown and upper side OF the
brim covered with imitation seal,
while the under brirn was faced with
cerise-colored velvet. Gold roses with
cerise velvet hearts formed the only
trimming Many models are shown
with crown Of fur and fiange OF the
same edging the brim. In addition
to such furs as seal, mole, beaver, er-
mine, skunk, opossum, fox, lynx, etc.,
the more novel furs like raccoon.
leopard skin and civet cat are also
being employed.
One has but to visit the theaters to
witness the popularity Of laces in mil
linery and to learn what chic ehects
may be produced by bit Of lace deft-
" DISPOSED here and there on velvet,
beaver or satin hats, with perhaps no
other ornamentation.
Fur, combined with gold or silver
lace, is an attractive combination. Vel
vet hats show the crown covered with
gold lace, or an edge of lace will be
appliqued on either the upper or I'M
der side OF the brim. while band OF
fur may be passed around the crown
and edge loops of velvet ribbon or
ears Of heavy lace. velvet. satin or
other material.
The white or ecru lace which Is
used for hats Is usually Of the heav.
lest variety, such as macrame, Ven
ise, Irish, ETC., while the black laces
are favored in the lightest varieties,
such as Chantilly and the shadow
laces. A large French model in black
velvet had q founoe of black shadow
lace gathered around the base of the
crown. permitting the edge to fall
over. the hr1m. Around the base Of
the crown was a narrow strip OF
skunk, while a second strip encircled
the upper side of the brim midway
between the crown and edge. At the
side was a bunch Of black paradise
aigrettes.

THE HEN THAT LAYS.

It is the hen Of vigor that lays:
Without constitutional. vitality she
viii not lay. That Ia undoubtedly
tue. A hen may have egg-laying ca
paclty, but without vigor she will not
produce eggs. On the other hand. the
hen may have vigor without egg-lay.
Ing capacity. She may have constitu-
uonal vitality and lay less than 20
eggs year. The point Is that by
selecting vigor alone will not make
npid progress in breeding up a
strain Of heavy layers. Although
vigor Is one Of the main things, we
must select both vigor and egg Ca
pscity. The hen that lays 200 eggs
= year has good vitality. 30 that a
good egg record 10 an indication OF
high vitality. It 10 possible that the
aooegg hen will not produce chicks
d good vigor. 1t is also possible that
her eggs may not be fertile. This Is
also possible in the poor layer. It Is
llso possible that heavy laying may
hture her breeding qualities. That is
. debatable point, but the fact re-
mains that the hen that lays 80 eggs
y more year has good vitality, and
1 10 such hens that one must depend
spon to increase egg production and
make poultry keeping more profitable.
A high egg record indicates consti-
mnonal vitality and stamina. The
mp nest, therefore, selects for vigor
y well as egg-laying capacity. II
ach state would take hold Of this in
: practical way, without doubt in q
~ years 1t would add millions Of
aollars to the profits Of poultry keep
~; and at the same time help solve
no nations food supply.

vinity az to his Spirit-guided study
Of the Word of God FPS. 1899; Luke
24:27; Jno. $3.50. Mary herself, who
had watched him and listened to him
for twelve years, was astonished.
Depths were now revealed into which
even she had never been allowed to
peer before. Even Mary. though his
mother. had not understood Jesus.
There seems to be tone Of COM
plant If not abruptnCss in the ques-
ton Mary put to Jesus. Mary was .
wonderful woman (Luke 1:28), but
she was not divine and not faultless.
The Mary OF the Bible is not the Mary
Of legend and alteration. While Mary
and Joseph were surprised that he
was in the temple, Jesus was sur
prised that they should search for
him at all instead Of coming right
there fully assured that he was there.
There is no note Of apology or regret
in Jesus reply. Though the most du-
tiful, tender and obedient Of sons ".
81: Jno 1926. 27, he was conscious
that he was something more than "the
son Of Mary" comp. Jno. 2:3, ~. and
that Mary must for own sake be made
to realize this fact. He points her
from the human reputed (ch. S:2S)
parentage to the divine real parent
age. This Is the first recorded utter
ance of Jesus, and like the last (ch.
23:46), it's central thought Is God Is
my Father" Neither Mary nor Jo-
seph understood Jesus even yet ".
SOY. Need we wonder. do we under
stand him?
II. Jesus Obeying and Growing, 81,
81. Having made this needed asser-
ton and given this clear proof of his
deity, Jesus fell back into his place as
the son Of Mary and Joseph. He
doubtless helped his father about the
carpentering (Mk. $50 and his moth
er about her domestic work. and he
was just as truly about his Fathers
business" when carrying water and
making fires In Nazareth as when in
the temple asking questions. For
nearly twenty years longer he re-
manned in the humble obscurity Of
Nazareth. He did not chafe at that
commonplace life, though conscious
Of power to fill vastly larger sphere,
That quiet life was a necessary prep
aration for the work the Father had
given him to do. During these years
Jesus was growing. II we too are In
humble sphere where there seems
to be little else to do We can at least
grow. Jesus could grow because he
was real human being. He had VOL
UNFAIRLY put aside divine glory to be-
come real man phil. rs. Z; Mark
1889. He was perfect as q babe and
boy, but the perfection Of manhood Is
higher form Of perfection than the
perfection Of childhood, and more
pleasing to God. So he Increased in
favor with God" a. he grew from per
feet boyhood into perfect manhood.
Leading Questions-In what ways
do we see In these verses the real
manhood Of Jesus? In what ways do
We see his deity? In what points
was his model boyhood? Why is Luke
the one evangelist that dwells upon
the infancy and boyhood of Jesus
What does the lesson teach US about
Mary? What Is the most important
! lesson? ~

c., JANUARY I, 1912.


Come, Oh, Muses.! Lend the spirit,
OF your song for this I pray;
Not forsooth, to wake the echo
OF some hushed and saddened lay.
Like to that our fathers chanted,
When beneath Expressions sway;
Not a song Of wild dispairing,
Is the one we'd sing today.
But awake a sweeter cadence!
Song Of Joy! Heroic! grand!
That shall tell a gladder story,
To freer. better land!
Let no thought Of wrong or sorrow.
In its rapt'rous accent ring;
But, Oh. Muses.! We would borrow
Naught but gladness as we sing!
Journ'ing on like destined Pilgrims.
To q fairer land ahead;
Here, while yet the morning fingers.
On the pathway that we tread;
Let US pause, Oh, way-worn travelersl
And while yet its soft beams last.
Burn our incense to the mem'ry
or q dark but sacred Past!
And that incense calm ascending
To tho skies q silent prayer,
All the hopes and deep emotions
OF a race commingled there;
Can but sanctify our Nation,
And unite with stronger bands.
All its nobler aspirations;
All the good for which It stands.
Sees now the curtain lifted!
With its heightened folds apart!
IT'S that we might peer behind It.
And by seeing again take heart!
For IT'S not the distance followed,
That denotes the distance gained;
But our heights are to be measured.
BY the depths from which we came!
Grim Injustice; now We see thee!
with the minds reflective eye,
WELDING high thy tyrant sceptrel
Deeming not how soon twill lie.
Like some shameful object growing
In the dark polluted dust!
While thy crown must be relinQutshed.
To the God in which we trust!
Stern Oppression, we'll We know thee!
We have seen thee face to face:
Frowning like some dark-eyed monster
On our weak benighted Race!
But thy day Of wrath soon ended:
Strong, yet weak, how great thy fall!
When the Tighter hand of. Justice,
Dealt the blow that ended all!
Yes, we see 1t all 80 plainly
Shapes and shadows grim and gray;
There behind that parted curtain.
