CONSERVATION

CONSIDERATION,
On a great feast day the people were
told,
To come to Gods temple grand,
Bringing to him their treasure and
gold;
And bearing these In their hands,
To pass down the aisle, and leave
the gift
Upon His altar divine.
Then, to him who should bring the
greatest Of all,
He would grant from Heaven a sign.
So the people came and they bore IN
their hands
Costly spices and laces rare:
And treasure Of gold, priceless gar
ments too,
All fit for monarch's wear;
And beautiful pictures and statues,
And jewels of wonderful sheen.
And broidered robes. whose gorgeous
folds
Might we'll bedeck queen.
These were proudly borne to the
temple,
To lay at Christ's wounded feet.
But, as each one stroye to place his
gift,
His establishment was complete:
For, before 1t could touch the altar,
10, it vanished from his hand,
And upon the altar lay nothing at all,
And they could not understand.
Till, at last, along toward even.
Came a maiden poorly clad:
No gold had she nor broidered robe;
No treasure at all she had;
But she knelt at the altar, and aid
her hands
BY the feet which had passed through
the tomb;
And when she arose, where her hands
had pressed.
Were two great white lilies in bloom.
These had deity garnered her falling
tears
ana deep IN each waXen cell,
Lay row upon row of lustrous pearls,
Whose value none might tell
And a smile seemed to touch Christ's
face serene,
AS hushed voice broke the thrall,
See, she who came to offer herself
Hath given more than We all"
Lo, this wonderful Christ. who gave
himself,
Stands patiently waiting now.
To test the offering you may bring
AS low at His shrine you bow.
Oh, your hands may be full of earthly
dross,
As you answer the loving call
OF the whispering voice from Cal
vary's cross,
But, who giveth himself gives all.

Lions Heads on Fountains.

Most of the things that are Gus.

that origin was The water in a
great many public fountains, whether
for man or beast, comes out of a
lions head. Did you ever stop to think
why a lions head should be chosen in
preference to any other design?
This is said to be the reason.
Among the ancient Egyptians the ris.
iag of the waters of the River Nile
was the most important event of the
year, as 1t meant life and prosperity
to the whole nation.
This rising Of the waters always
took place when the sun was in tho
constellation of Leo, or the lion. So
they adopted the shape of a lion "a
the symbol for the lifegiving waters of
the Nile. and all their fountains were
carved with lions head. The Greeks

OLD POKE BONNETS REVIVED
Made Into Things of Beauty by the
Clever Hands Of the Up-to-
Date MiIIiner.

Here and there one sees an alluring
poke bonnet brought to life by the mil
liner who is clever enough to know
that the old fashions are being re.
vived, and If women wish to look like
old prints they must have hats and
nantes to go with the gowns.
The revival of the poke bonnet has
met with approval because in its mod
ern shape it is exceedingly becoming
and does not clash with the ideas of
present millinery. 1t is not scoop;
it merely has rounded brim in front
to shade the eyes, and is turned up
with flap In the back There is a
chin band of black velvet or colored
satin ribbon and a bunch of flowers
over one ear
The milliners make these old-time
Powered nantes to 60 with the hat,
and the same color scheme is sup
posed to be carried out in the two. II
a woman is going TO attempt trim
mind such a hat and making such a
wrap at home, 1t is wise for her to
remember this.

GOOD USE F0n OLD GOWN
Complete Transformation May Be
Made in the Fashioning Of the
One-Piece Frock.

It is rather astounding what a fash
lonable air can be given to a one
piece frock that has served during the
winter as house gown, by adding to
1t belted jacket of figured silk mate
lasses or crepon. Also, it turns the
gown into serviceable thing for out
door wear through the spring and
summer and saves one the necessity
Of getting suit.
A dark blue crepe de chine trimmed
with satin cloth which had served it's
purpose since December as a smart
house frock was converted by one
woman into a spring suit for the
street and for afternoon wear by the
addition of a dark blue watered pop
lin jacket which had a pronounced
wave in 1t. This was liVed with a
figured silk in blue acd yellow and
belted in with a loose gfrdle of crepe
de chine run through jet buckle in
front. The revers were of crepe de
chine and the long sleeves had a two
inch turnover cuff of the same. The
economy Of getting this garment was
furthered by having a separate skirt
made of plain material, which could
be worn at odd hours with a white
shirtwaist.
Whatever else you forget in plan
ming your spring and summer, ward
robe remember that the short dressy
coat is probably the conspicuous gar
ment Of the moment.

When Carpenter Swore.

Fred w. Carpenter, who is now in
the diplomatic service, and who was
at one time secretary to President
Taft, Is one of the mildest hammered
men in the world. Wade Ellis of Ohio
tells Of the only time he ever heard
Carpenter break forth into violent
talk.
In Mr.. Taft's first campaign for the
presidency it had been arranged that
he and Senator Foraker, with whom he
had been at variance on several ques'
tions, should have a friendly meeting
Immediately after the arrangement Sc
we're charges we're published in news
paper against Foraker. I took the pa
per to Carpenter and showed him the
article.

After he had read the story twice, he
said tensely:
ooh, DEAR"
