The international Correspondence Schools are now

One feature not always understood by the public
is the energetic in which the Correspondence
Schools enroll their students. Hundreds OF agents or

shops to persuade that they be benefited by

stimulate desire for education They tell men, and they
prove their point by nnumerabe examples that they
make themselves efficient in their present occupa
ton qualify themselves for other and more congenia
and remunerave occupations by a course of study

these agencies has been very great but the results have
amply justified the investment from every standpoint Up
the present the International Correspondence Schools
have spent Si703965 in agency establishment More than

THROUGH THE YEAR. 2

God be with you in the springtime,
 When the violets unfold, And the btlttereups and cows1ips
 FIJI the fields with yellow gold: 2 In the time of apple blossoms,
 When the happy bluebirds sing, Filling all the world with gladness,
 God be with you in the spring. God be with you in the summer,
 When the sweet June roses blow; When the boblinks are laughing
 And the brooks with music flow: When the fields are white with daisies
 And the days are glad and long God be with you in Ithe summer
 Then to fill your heart with song. God be with you in ahe autumn,
 When the birds and flowers have fled, And along the woodland pathways
 Leaves are falling, gold and red; When the summer lies behind you
 In the evening of the year God be with you in the summer,
 Then to fill your heart with cheer. God be with you in the winter,
 When the snow lies deep and white; When the sleeping fields are silent,
 And the stars g1eam cold and bright When the hands and hearts are tired
 With life's long and weary quest God be with you in the winter,
 Just to guide you into rest

PAGODA-LIKE FASHIONS THIS
 SPRING.

In the April Woman's Home Com panion Grace Margaret Gould, fashion editor of that publication, writes about pagoda-like fashions and tells how this ancient temple has inf1uenc- ed dress to-day. The pagoda is a tall slender many-sfded tower, with ridges and caves sticking out all the way up. The typical fashionable figure of to- day is now built out to give much this effect. The pagoda influence in dress means: towering hats of soft satin, banked with f1my tuIle, with spfre-1ike; featherly trimmings; De Medicf and lily collars that are wired to show points that stick out; con- spicuous shoulder draperies which ac- tually have the effect of caves; long f1aring draperies on skirts; short coats with faring pep1ums.
 Of the vagaries of fashions Miss Gould says in part:
 Fashion is a lightning change ar tist. The different is always the lure from Paris to Ka1amazoot
 Fashions mind is never at ease Her life consists in trying one new thing after another.
 s"This is not the first time, by any means, that styles have been designed from the architecture of a country And why shouldn't they be? Are not buildings in way country's clothes? Are they not mammoth patterns which on mammoth scale show the peculiarities of the dress of it's inhabitants?
 Did not the big Gainsborough hat remind us of the dome of St. Paul's or St. Peters? And the crinoIine of the pyra nids of Egypt? And the Grecian bend of the leaning tower of Pisa? And the sheath skirt of the minarets of India?
 Well, now, to-day we are going to have pagoda-1ike fashions Of course this pagoda-like figure of the present styles is a composite figure. It is blend of all the modish suggestions and edicts which are thrown on our screen from the big magic lantern of

rHB HAr-P1N MENACE

Everyone knows that ihat-pin point protruding several inches be- yond the brin of a woTnan's hat is a source of danger to anyone in close proximity to the wearer of the pir.-. Probably no one sees themore serious consequences so freely as the eye spec ia1ist. Som etiInes the injury consists of a mere scratch, which heals readily and leaves no permanent defect.
 On the other hand, every now and then the scratch becomes infected and serious impairment of sight, if not &C., tua1 loss of the eye results. One who has seen these bad results is forever alarmed for himself and others when he sees a protruding point in a crowd ed ear or theatre lobby or wherever people are closely crowded together
 It ought not be necessary to pass laws to prevent such accidents, but as the number of such cases does not decrease it would seem to be desir- able to make the wearing of shorter hat-pins obligatory. There are devices on the market for covering and pro- tecting the end of a hat-pin which are effective and mex xpensive.
 Any 5eweler can shorten long hat pin in few minuses and at cost of few cents, and thereby, perhaps, save fellow beings eye.
