SPRING MILLINERY STYLES

shapes with head sizes sufficiently
large TO wear well down over the head.
IT probably will take some time TO
educate them to the smaller head siz-
es. Manufacturers are in many in
stances making them Of size to con-
form 70 the American woman's idea.
CROWNS ARE SOFT
Many soft crowns will be shown.
Practically everything for Spring is
hand made. There is a decided ten
dency To favor the combining of straw
braids and silk In this case the crowns
are of silk and the brims of braid.
Many Of the new Spring shapes are
made entirely Of ribbon or silk. For
this purpose, satin, MORE, and taffeta
are very much in evidence. Crowns
are made in a variety of forms. Many
Of the most prominent ones are cut
circular. when made of silk, and are
gathered at the base. The head fits
well into them.
Trimmings are TO be simple. Ribbon
and flowers give promise of being eX-
tremeiy popular. Many of the eariy
hats are trimmed exclusively with rib
bon. RULED effects and draperies of
ribbon carry out the high side ideas.

tremely popular. Both wide ribbons
and narrow ones are used. Moire is

Elephant Tears.

Laughing is believed to be peculiar
10 man, but the same is not true of
weeping, which is a manifestation
OF emotion that is met in several ami
mails.
Among the creatures that weep most
easily are the ruminants. All hunters
know that the stag weeps, and we are
also assured that the bear sheds tears
when it sees it's last hour approaching.
The giraffe is not less sensitive, and
regards with fearful eyes the hunter
who has wounded it. Dogs weep quite
easily. The same is true of certain
monkeys. As for the elephant, there
is abundant evidence OF the ease with
which it wecps 1t sheds tears when
wounded; or when il sees that Il cam
not escape; it's tears roll from its eyes
like those Of a human being i'm afiiic-
tion.--Tid-B Bits.

PRAYER.
At times | wonder if ought to pray
Beyond the greatest prayer, Thy

For less than this l would not, dare
not say;
And all my prayers are gathered
In this one.
What prayer of mine can alter His
decree2
What fool would speak the prayer
which had that power2
IL he the track and haven cannot
see,
What sight have I 90 steer where

Yet steer / must, and will, with might

Come storm or sunshine forward

And sing or sob, as maybe, this re-

The Modern Girl.

We knock and criticise her,
We scold, apostrophize her,
We wish that she were wiser,
More capable and kind.
Her path we're always stalking
To criticise her talking.
Her clothes. her ways of walking,
Her manners and her mind.
We say. "Oh, highly tightly!
She's frivolous and flighty,
And all her ways are mighty
Undignified 20 see;
She dances and she chatters,
our golden rule she skaters
And laughs at serious matters
With undated glee!"
We chide and we correct her,
We shadow and detect her,
We study and dissect her.
With all her smiles and tears.
And find. on looking Ger her.
(And learning to adore herr,
She's just like girls before her,
For twenty thousand years!

LESSON FOR APRIL |
BY LEE w. AMES.
CHRISTS TABLE TALK


Luke 14:7-24.
Golden Text: Luke 14;11.
Read: Luke 14:1-6.
INTRODUCTORY
The scene of our lesson Is the home
into which Jesus went to eat bread on
the Sabbath day (14:1. We studied
the first six verses on March 18th. BY
way of introduction we might just
look through these "a verses to see
what Jesus Christ was thinking about
and speaking of as He sat at the
table to eat bread Note some Of the
things: Pulling out on the Sabbath
day (v 50, the eXaltation of the hum
bic (v 10, recompenses at the res
surrection Of the just (v IA, the great
supper " 49,. and the rejection of the
rejecting " 24). How does this com
pare with our table thoughts and our
table talk? Is there anything about
your table that would lead a visitor to
think of the resurrection of the just
and the rejection Of the rejecting?
