RevivaIs in West Virginia.

The revival spirit seems to have
taken firm hold upon Sistersville and
other West Virginia cities and active
preparations are now under way to
carry on great religious campaign
which will eventually spread to the
different churches. 1t is the hope of
the various pastors to bring about
such an upheaval against vice and
common wickedness that there will be
little need of reformers or reform.
Throughout the past summer and fall
there were great religious gatherings
held in many sections of the state and
even to-day the work has not abated,
but is indeed going on with wonder
full zeal. Wheeling and Huntington
are just entering upon another great
revival; Parkersburg has not relin-
pushed her hold upon the results at
tending the DR.. Lyon services while at
least forty smaller towns are opening
protracted services with the new year.

Most appropriate for this season of
the year, becoming dark colors have
precedence in millinery. In the We
lours, browns and similar fabrics
which are SO much used, the darker
colors are always most beautiful.
These are frequently accumulated and
relieved from too extreme somberness
by touch of white. The hat in the
drawing has charmingly rolled brim
of unexaggerated lines, but with the
modish extension of brim of the side.
This hat is of black velvet, with high
square crown, against which beau
tiful breast and wings of white stands
out in bold relief. Two supplementary
wings increase the length OF the sides.

The splendid and gorgeous fabrics
brought out this season can only be
worn to best advantage when they
are made UP into ample draperies that
fall about and enshroud the figure.
They have proven an inspiration to
designers. Fabrics have for years
indeed outdistanced styles. When we
look at these marvels from the loom
we realize that they are fit for god
desses to wear.
Perhaps, for this very reason, cloaks
are long but full. Materials are so

MRS. STETSON'S LETTERS
FROM MARY BAKER EDDY

All who are interested in Christian
science, or who desire to know what
1t teaches, will be greatly aided in
their investigation of the subject by
q patient and impartial perusal of a
work recently published by G. p. Put
nam & Sons, of New York, entitled
"Reminiscences, Sermons and Core
spondence" by Augusta e. Stetson, c.
l.. ID.
This new work contains complete
and trustworthy elucidation of that
comparatively new system Of relig-
ious thought which is taught today
in more than twelve hundred churches
to nearly two millions of devout adj
herents, whose numbers are increas-
ing with amazing rapidity throughout
the Christian world. Mrs. Stetson,
the authoress, was for many years a
favorite pupil of Mary Baker Eddy,
the founder of Christian Science. and
continued to be her most attached
friend until her teacher passed away,
as will appear from the numerous let
tiers to be found in the book The
work is what might be termed re-
pository of spiritual love sonnets;
From beginning to end the unbroken
strain of divine love and the father
hood of God.

ton under whose aegis they have
sought a new home.
The pupils are taught how to make
baskets and the work of some of
them is so excellent that it has
gained prizes in competition with far
more experienced craftsmen.
The girls are taught to sew and
make their own dresses and very
proud are they Of their acquired skill
and the product, which they wear as
soon as possible.
One Of the points of deepest inter-
est to the teachers and supervisors
OF the schools is the wonderful dis
play of vagaries of human nature in
the descendants of races of widely
divergent origin.
Twelve Nations Represented.
In the vacation schools of Newark
there are children representing twelve
distinct nationalities, and for their
instructors, girl undergraduates and
young Presbyterian seminarians and
postulants. in great part, no better
training could be conceived than that
which brings them into contact with
the youthful, intelligence of racial
typos from all parts OF the world.
This childish intelligence is as
varied as are the nations which are
represented in the schools. The
Italian child is so marvelously quick
in grasping ideas. especially those
which embody pictorial beauty, that
the teacher often gasps with amaze
ment. This mental alertness, too,
enables this child of the south to
absorb. the language of her adopted
home without effort and without
stimulus.
The intelligence OF the Hungarian
boy or little maid Is not less astonish-
ing.
But the oriental imagination is
stronger and deeper There is meta
physical grasp, too, in the mental
power of the young Hungarian, which
makes itself apparent at once.
The children of the Siav races move
with a slow intellectual tread that is
sometimes trying to the instructor.
but what Is once learned is never for
gotten.
