TT often happens that girl who is
| said to have a will of her own, so
far as her family Is concerned, has
none so far as concerns her young man.
Her parents find her as unmovable as
rock wall The young man, though
he be of too slgk acquaintance to be
called a friend. and makes no preten-
sions of being lover, finds her as easy
to mould as so much wax.
! This is both unfortunate and danger
Gus Her parents exert their influence
for her good. The young man doesn't
always. Their influence is benignant.
Yet, girls who know this will follow
blindly where a man beckons and re-
fuse to go where their parents prayer

lowing letter is a gill whose young
man finds she is easily influenced:

and made the acquaintance a month
ago Of a young man the same age. He
has taken me to several places of
amusement, and on one of these occa-
sions he took my ring. When he took
me home that evening I demanded my
ring and he refused to give it to me.
He told me if he ever lost me as his
girl l certainly would not lose my ring.

Cupid, attired as a policeman, is not

Every few weeks | get wall of woe
from some girl who has given her
young man her ring. or her watch, or
some other trinket dear to her which
he refuses to return
Her father, or her brother could
compel him to return what he has
taken. but her pride forbids the admis-
sion that she was foolish enough to let
| him have it.
Such girl has such a win of her
own in her own home that none of the
family dares so much as borrow little
bit of her finery, or use any trihe that
is her personal possession
But a young man comes along. Per-
haps, as in this instance, she has known
him only a month. When he asks for
the ring on her finger, she lets him
carry it off.

"Wear" is nothing but rubbing

''Wear" is nothing but rubbing"
Every time you hard rub your clothes
against anything, little particles are
rubbed away.
Boiling softens the fibre of cotton,
linen, silk and wool, and when rubbed
hard on the washboard they wear away
faster than at any other time.
Try to think how many days of wear
are represented by one trip to the old
time waShtub.
Fels-Naptha requires neither boiling
water nor hard rubbing.
And there is no washboard wear on
the clothes washed the Fels-Naptha way.
Fels-Naptha is made to do away with
boiling and hard rubbing; therefore if
you use it as an ordinary soap, you cause
yourself unnecessary work.
Use Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water and it will do all we claim
1t will cut the waShday in hall, sum-
mer or winter, and do silently and effec-
lively all the real hard work.
If you follow the simple directions
on the red and green wrapper, you will
never return to ordinary soaps and the
old-faShioned way of washing.

AVER.

NNCE upon a time there was a
girl who thought she was too
tall and it worried her great
deal.
When she was about thirteen she
began to sprout just like Alice in Won
derland after she had eaten of the
growing side of the mushroom. and
she grew, and grew. and grew until
she thought there was nobody in the
whole world who was so tall as she was
or who possessed such very long legs
and Nrms and such long hands and feet
She asked her best friends if there
wasn't something that would keep her
from growing any taller, and she was
quite sure she was going to be
giant or monstrosity of some kind
Her family made such fun of her
height that she became horribly self
conscious, and when 1 first knew her
she was just about as awkward as any
girl could be, for nothing will make
you as gawky as the ridicule of your
own family.
You are certainly the human giraffe, y
jeered her elder brother, and at dane
ing school she was called the animated
grasshopper. Naturally she didn't i'm
prove any, under this kindly admoni-
ton, but grew more awkward and un-
calmly day by day. and in the secrecy
of her own room she shed bitter tears
of modification over her size and gen
eral length of limb.
think she would have developed
into one of the angular, thin and gawky
girls we see so many of, if kindly

CHURCH PEACE LEAGUE
One Forming for United States and
 One for World

Ministers of the United States are ap- pealed to by the federal council of churches to form church peace league. The councils commission on peace and arbitration has recently been reinforced by gifts of money for exploitation, and the Rev. Frededick Lynch. well known Congregational minister. has been put in as it's executive. The method of work that has been adopted Is this church league, in which ministers of all bodies arc asked to unite That there Is public interest and that ministers stand ready to work for peace, are shown by a recent response of 5000 ministers who responded to request to preach on the subject
 Baron Edouard de Neufville, the wealthy Christian worker of Frankfort, Germany, is in the United States to urge that the new church peace league of America become part of the world church peace league. Leaders in the world move mcnt are 4U0 ministers of Germany and 6o00 in England. The ministers of the three nations united in one plan, ask ministers of all the world, Protestant, Roman and Greek to preach sermons and to labor for the cessation of war The baron now here is the one who arranged visits of ministers of Germany to England and of England to Germany, to talk hor- TOTS of war and the desirability of ter mipating them. Similar visits are talked of between ministers of these countries and of the United States

231 AUTOMOBILES FILLED WITH CHILDREN PRODUCE
 NOVEL SCENE IN BOSTON

Park and to Beacon street. Considering the usual crowded state of those streets the procession moved with remarkable celerity, which was chiefly because te drivers of automobiles not in the parade and of other vehicles seemed not only willing but pleased, to give way to the children-bearing cars. If the truth were known, there probably were many men and women in cars which were passed by the happy throng who wished that their car was in the line so brightly decorated and that they, too, were helping in the good cause. 1t was obvious that in pro- viding transportation, the owenrs of the cars used had also put the children in "transports.'
 As the procession swept around tho curve from Park street into Beacon, and past tho State House, those who could see waved their flags and shouted to the few who stood out on one of the State House galleries. Governor Toss was not among those who watched the procession pass, but that did not make the children any less enthusiastic. The trucks were particularly the centre of en- thusiasm, for they carried the greatest numbers. They were equipped with fold Ing chairs and the children seemingly were not the least put out because they were not in more easy riding pleasure car All the children seemed to find special delight in going over the rough spots. and shouted or laughed in glee as the body of the cars went up and down.
 When they arrived at Sharon there were other joys than the ride. There wore good things to eat, games, band concert and Punch and Judy show provided by l. M. Taylor of Congress street. There also were games arranged for the chauf- | feurs. It will be great day.

 men of the established Church of Eng land. This conference is held because American enterprise projects it. and by shrewd. but wholly sane and proper pash' brings into new service these time non
 ored treasures and resources
 Practical get-there Christians of the
 New World began the task short time ago of bringing Christians of all the world and of every name into organic working union. J. Pierpont Morgan, an
 American and a layman, gave $lOo'VVo 10 pay expenses of propagation. The one man who first came out into the open was the Rev. pr, William T. Manning. He is rector of historic Trinity church. New York Oddly enough he Is an En- | glishman by birth, but he was educated in our American south, and is as truly

 There came at once to his side and to the side of the Episcopal leaders, two great religious bodies, both of them Amer l lcan One was the Disciples of Christ, and their leader is the Rev. Peter Ainsile of Baltimore. Disciples have long pleaded for unity, and happening to be in ses- sion as a convention almost at the time | they quickly responded to the unity lilVi- | taton. The Rev Mir. Ainslie IS Baiu- | more pastor and besides running one Of the big churches, the working churches that do things. he is giving great deal
 of time to these unity plans. The other body was the Congregation. It had a | leader in the Rev pr. Newman Smyth of l New Haven, long pastor of one or the 1 three churches that stand in unique | row, where almost everybody mistakes them for a part of Yale university. The ! Rev Dr. Smyth had talked and written
 unity for years. and when the Rev Mir Manning acted he and the Congregations rational council joined the procession | forthwith. Congregationalists. like the | Disciples, have long believed in and
 worked for unity. Very soon afterward I the whole American Protestant body 1 joined Southern Methodists, for exam i pie, have as one unity leader Bishop E. 1 E. Hoss, veteran editor. Among Epis-

Lambeth palace has been for 600 years and more the London residence of the primate of all England.

 bishop Anderson of Chicago, Bishop Hall of Vermont, Bishop Vincent of sou h. ern Ohio will go over and within these ancient walls of Lambeth tell the heads cf the English church about their plans made in America, for the world confer ence on unity. How long the conference will last depends wholly on the reception given Americans and their ideas. None gave Anglican leaders are to be present. lt is meeting to determine what part, and how, the Anglicans shall act That they will act seems settled. Time was perhaps when they would have done noth- ing. That time is passed. The present Archbishop of Canterbury the Most Rev. Dr. Randall Thomas Davidson, who vs- fled the United States in 1904 the first Anglican archbishop ever to do so, Is a statesman as well as ecclesiastic and di- vine, for he has been able to take him self and his conservative communion into cooperative plans with others and yet not encounter internal troubles with his own church. Other Anglican bishops are coming to see the wisdom of the Cantel'- bury position.
 Nobody pretends to be able to say when this world conference may be called. It is admitted that it may be 10 years yet before it Is wise to call it. Efforts are to be made to get into 1t delegates from the Roman and Greek communions. When it will be held no one predicts either. It IS an American proposition and therefore it is more than likely that Americans, gen. erous as successful leaders must be, VII concede the conference location to Eu- rope. It is not thought likely that out of this conference at Lambeth any conclu- sion as to invitation by the Church of England will be arrived at. Nevertheless the conference this summer may pave the way so that finally. when all are agreed Englands s historic church and her his toric religious resources may be placed at the disposal of this world effort at unity
 Preliminary conferences are to be held in this and other countries. leading up to the world one. Popular education is going on. Christians are being taught that the road to unity is not by the giving up route. but by the adding to one.

Two Chapels Burned in Oriente Prov.

The newly developed race war in Cuba and the military operations started be-
 cause of 1t, are affecting adversely the
 Christian work of the Island, especially /
 that part projected and maintained by Americans. The chief Protestant bodies of this country having missions in Cuba are the Baptist north and south, the Episcopal and the Methodist south. The earliest there, even before the political freedom of the island. were the Baptist South and the Episcopal. The growth of Protestant work in the island, among white and black both has been steady and along educational lines large.
 Baptist North work was early projected in Santiago and the extreme east, and supported by Americans through Baptist churches here are large Baptist church in Santiago itself, and several smaller churches in Oriente province. Attached to the churches are schools and these schools have been attended by children of both races, usually heretofore wtho 1t prejudice to either. Reports received by the Baptist Home Mission society show that chapels at La Maya and at Jorahuc- ca have been burned. not by military forces, but by marauders and malcon- tents. Baptists in eastern Cuba alone have 54 churches. The Episcopal church has work in nearly all parts of the island with a Cathedral at Havana, and a con siderable educational system that has headquarters In Guantanamo
