SCRIPTURE
1 Peter 2:1z-25.

Honour all men. Love the brother
hood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Servants, be subject to your masters
with all fear; not only to the good ant
gentle, but also to the froward.
For this is thankworthy, il man for
conscience toward God endure grief,
suffering wrongfu'ly.
For what glory s it, if, when we b,
buffeted for your faults, We shall take it
patiently? but if, when ye do we'll, anc
suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is
acceptable with God.
For even hereunto were We called:
because Christ also suffe ed for US,
leaving us an example, that ye should
follow his steps;
Who did not sin, neither was guile
found in his mouth:
Who, when he was reviled, reviled
not again; when he suffered. he threat
ened not; but committed himself to him
that judgeth righteously:
Who his own self bare our sins in his
own body on the tree, that we, being
dead to sins, should live unto righteous
ness: by whose stripes ye were healed
For ye were as sheep~going astray;
but are now returned unto the Shepherd
and Bishop Of your souls.

This gown Is cut with a~rather mar

This Is worn over an under-bodice of
plated white chiffon having a high
collar In black. There is girdle of

the distinctive character Of this UNI

2 In the construction of apparel for
mourning 1t should be borne In mind
that extremes Of style are inappro-

they are imperative.
In the matter Of decoration, also.
the forms that show careful workman

Writer Tells Of the Difficulties En-
countered In Doing" Naples and
lts Surrounding Attractions and
Points Of Interest.

Naples.-The difficulty of doing"
Naples and its surrounding attractions
and points of interest within a posi-
lively limited time was demonstrated,
writes correspondent, when with
trip to the crater of Vesuvius in
mind, l surveyed the cone from my
window balcony. Thick clouds envel-
oped the truncated cone, and there
was no sign Of change Of wind to
clear away the mist and smoke suffi-
GENTLY to permit view of the boil
ing depths. So, inasmuch as there
were other things that must be done
to prepare for the morrow's sailing for
home. regretfully postponed my Wis
1t to the volcano until some other
time in the uncertain future. Per.
haps the bronze pledges given at
Rome will prove effective in insur-
ing return, and then Vesuvius sure
ly will be seen.
But fortune was not altogether I'M
favorable, for by a good chance during
the day ! met, at the office of the
American consul, Mr.. Jay White, two
scientists from Washington, who have
come over for the purpose of studying
the volcanic activities in Italy. Prof.
Arthur L. Day Of the Carnegie insti-
tuition and Prof. Henry Stephens
Washington Of the geophysical lab
oratory. They will spend several
months here and in Sicily, observing
conditions and endeavoring to obtain
specimens Of the gases emitted from
Vesuvius, Etna and Stromboli, in their
research into the nature of the forces
which cause eruptions. It is to be
hoped that they will have the good
fortune to gain information to aid in
the evolution Of substantial working
hypothesis explanatory of the most
battling phenomenon now confront
ing natural science.
Later in the day vesuvius cleared
on finely, tantalizing trick that made
the postponement Of the trip to the
top hard to endure philosophically.
But 1t is quite well assured that the
big chimney will continue to smoke
for long time to come, and per-
haps when come again it will be

One street is much like another, in

As matter of history there was
such a person in Mexico In 1641 and
he was dishonest collector Of rev
enues. He was Jailed, and, to secure
his liberty, his wife was compelled
to suffer incredible humiliations at
the hands of judge. Don Juan broke
prison. went to his home, found the
judge there, and stabbed him to
death. Later he was mysteriously
lynched one night before the church,
and from this grew the legend that
the angels had punished him for his
sins.
A striking story Of ghostly revenge
is the legend Of Don Juan de Nava.
priest and guardian Of his orphan
niece, a beautiful girl. A Portuguese
nobleman, Don Duarte de Sarraza, fell
in love with her, and she reciprocated
the attachment, but the priest reject
er Don Duarte because he was known
as gambler. One night the priest
came upon Don Duarte talking to his
niece through her window. Duarte
struck the old man with his dagger,
which was imbedded In his skull, kill
ing him. He threw the body. dagger
and all, into a ditch. Just one year
later Duarte was found dead at the
site of the crime Kneeling over him,
one Of its bony hands gripping his
body by the throat, was skeleton in
priestly garments, with dagger stick
ing in Its skull.

material for these bathing suits.
Whatever material Is used for the

the old reliable combination of blue

usually bought ready made. AS the
rubber cloth may be bought 1t is a
good idea to add an odd bit of trim

him to the heart. This went on un-

Stricken with remorse Don Juan
confessed to his priest, who for pen

night to a certain church, before
which was gallows, and to tell his
rosary under the gallows. Three
nights he attempted to fulfill the COM

traditions are SO old that no man
knows whether they originated in the
days Of the Montezumas or Of the Con-
Quistadores.
As is Inevitable, the City Of Mexico
has. It's own peculiar folklore, its
