4 RE there occasions when pretense
n is justified and by "pretense" l
mean a pleasing hypocrisy?
The stern moralists who gauge their
conduct by the width of a hair will say
most certainly not. I contend there is.
I contend further that all of us like
Little Dorrit, can be of greater use in
the world by pretending just a little.
But the pretense must be optimistic
pretensc. We must not pretend that
things are worse than they are. We
must pretend they are better.
We must occasionally pretend to be
pleased when We are far from it, We
must pretend we like that which a
friend gives us when we don't, and we
must pretend, day after day, in big
things and little, that We are satisfied
when we are not
I sometimes think that the woman
never lived who could make her father
and her brothers happy; who could win
ana keep a lover, and who could please
a husband without pretending little
and pretending often.
The men are great blunderers. They
seldom get a woman's viewpoint, and
in their attentions to her they do what
pleases them, and she must make that
please her.
A mother knows what her daughter
likes: father spends more and buys
what is neither appropriate nor pleas
ing. As a girl she learns that she must
be pleased because he bought it; she
can't find pleasure in the gift.
The men love laughter, and a girl
must be pleased when her lover buys
tickets for a laugh producing play
though she prefers tragedy.
She must pretend to be pleased when
her husband, in the overlooking gen
crosby Of his heart, is persuaded by
some eloquent clerk to buy her bright
green dress when she wants and would
look better in a brown.
She must remember hundred times
a day TO look at the spirit that prompts
a kindly attention, and not with criti-
cal eyes at the manner in which the
attention is manifested.
In her dealings with her friends she
must pretend to be pleased at uneX-
pected company when every house
wifely instinct is panic stricken. She
must pretend, when a friend has pura
chased hat, and must keep it and
wear it, that the hat is becoming. She
must pretend that a friend is looking
well when the truth would frighten
that friend into an illness.
She must pretend that she likes the
dahlias friend send her, though she
prefers violets. She must pretend that
she is pleased at the gift of a book Of
poems, though she reads only prose.
And she must pretend-oh, such a
tragic number of times-that she is
happy when she is not! She must learn
that this pretense is every woman's
heritage, and that, like Little Dorrit,
she can be of no use unless she prac
tees il.

ETHER MAY DO UT,

Dear MISS FalrfaX:
Would you kindly let me know
whether it is a lady's or gentle
mans place to suggest a place of
amusement when he takes her out?
S. +.
1t is the correct thing for the gentle
man to give the lady her choice, but a
suggestion from him is both proper and
timely. Such matters depend entirely
on which is the better informed on the
amusement question.

on the holy places alluded to In sacred
God to Moses
Evangelist Butterfield showed that
there is now and always has been a
sanctuary in heaven and that Christ,
the high priest, is In that sanctuary
now, officiating for mankind. Christ,
he said, has only been at work In this
place since he arose from the grave
and assembled to heaven. Continuing,
he stated:
1.-THE Lord told Moses to build a
sanctuary or tabernacle 30 that he
might dwell among his people, the
children of Israel, Eek. 1858. This he
said was to be built after the pattern
Of the one in heaven, shown Moses In
the mount. Elk. 25:40. In the holy
place the high priest ministered daily,
but into the most holy place he en-
tered but once year.
Every time anyone sinned during
the year he was to bring some animal
or bird and offer 1t on the altar In
the court built around the tabernacle.
This is how the sins of the people
were accumulated in the tabernacle
during the year.
Types Of Christ.
These offerings for sin pointed for
ward to the great sacrifice, Christ.
There was no virtue In them Of them
selves, but they were types and
shadows of things to come. The day OF
atonement in that day was q type OF
the great Judgment day Of God. Our
prayers enter the most holy place In
the sanctuary above as incense before
God Christ has offered his blood once
for all for the sins Of the people, and
is today pleading his blood as high
priest before God in the most holy
place wherein Is the ark of God which
contains Gods law, his ten command.
