Around a Roman Wall

Chester is one of the old towns OF
England and it looks it. The Romans
gave the place it's first appearance on
the map and kept the keys to the
city for four hundred years. Most
centuries old, and the surrounding
cemetery extends back to the river.
AS you enter the church the font, in
which Shakespeare was baptized, the
parish register in which the poets
birth and death are recorded, and old
bible which was chained to it's place in
the church, and other relics are shown.
The grave of Shakespeare is inside the
church in front of the altar. A stone
slab the full length of the grave forms
portion of the floor. His wife is
buried beside him and to the right and
also in front of the altar are the graves
of Shakespeare's eldest daughter and
husband, DR.. John Hall. All about are
other graves and above and to the left
is fine marble bust of the poet.
When the poet lived, it was custom
airy to remove the bones from a grave
after one had been buried for several
of thu towns of England have carried
away the old Roman walls but the peo-
pie of Chester have kept theirs nailed
down. On the main street near the CEN
ter of the present city, stone stairway
leads to the top of the wall and three
people can walk abreast along the top.

many times told. The house in which
the poet died is gone, but the old church
in which he is buried still stands. The
pile is years in order to make room for
others of deaths victims. The GUS
tom is still prevalent in many parts of
Europe at the present time, so valu-
able is the hand. When the bones were
removed they were placed in the char
mel house and this Shakespeare did not
desire to have done with his remains.
It was for this reason he
wrote the celebrated epitaph which one
can read upon his horizontal grave
stone:
Good friend, for Jesus sake forbear,
To digg the dust enclosed here:
| Blest be We man, vt spares these stones,
And curst be he vt moves my
bones"
No digger has yet been curst for the
slab remains where it was placed al
most 300 years ago. The place is
sacredly kept and will no doubt be as
long as his name is revered by those
who treasure his dramatic works
In Stratford stands fine memorial
building where Shakespeare plays are
given almost daily and other places
of interest are also in the same town.
A public house is known as Shakes
peare' hotel and near by is the boy
hood house of John Harvard and the
home of Marie Corelli. The rooms in
the hotel are named from the plays of

my little niece solemnry.
You don't say!" l returned, duly
impressed.

- a nice" She does "eat nice" She
has accomplished that task, so difficult
for young children, of eating daintily
enough to be permitted to come to table
with grown folks.
A good plan to help the little one at
this is to let her nave her own table
as soon as she is able to hold a cup
u~nbreakable mug with a handle that
permits the small fist to clasp it closely,
and begin her instruction. The mug
should not be too heavy or the handle
chased or carved. Well designed mugs
for little people are rather shallow,
light. and have smooth handles.
Usually the first table which a child
uses is the high chair tray which is
solid and fast and cannot be upset. Fol-
lowing this a low seat at a toy table
is a delight to the child, and a very
easy means of training in good man
ners. For a very little child, there is a
sofa and table fastened together SO that
the table will not slip away. An older
child may use the two pieces separ-
ately. This miniature table should be
covered with a cloth and properly set.
A small tray cloth or napkin is easily
Numbered and the ugliness Of spots
will teach the lesson needed before the
big cloth is used.
If such conveniences as those men
toned are provided, there is no reason
why any baby who is old enough 10
understand should not sit at the family
table. And as every child considers
this a great privilege. it will serve as
an inducement to eat carefully.
The habit of playing with food, SO
common in young children, dates back
in the child's history to the time when
she was permitted to play with her
bottle.
A bottle is not a toy nor is it a
pacifier. When the child ceases taking
food from 1t. It should at once be with

Inc Dervlshes as a tribe exist in
hundreds of thousands in all parts of
northern Africa, and many of them are
OF high caste and every devout. 1t is in
higypt and Hindustan, however, that
the Dervish is seen at his worst. There
he lives in a state of utter squalor.
Some OF the tribe spend their lives in
complete nakedness, their bodies
with wood ash, their unkempt
hair twisted into a turban; some roll
head over heels for hundreds of miles:
some contemplate the tip of their noses
from 81 different postures: some live
by the fraudulent sale of drugs or by
feats of legerdemain. In warfare they
are towards, fighting by t%reachery.
In their religious customs the Der

which have led to certain castles being
known as the dancing Dervishes.
The act of a dancing Dervish is
supposed to carry him forward to the
ecstatic state in which the soul enters
the misal," or world of dreams
and becomes n with God.
The dancing Dervishes stand in a
circle. shoulder to shoulder, each on
his right foot, and swaying the body
and the left leg backward and forward
or from side to side.
Each man then performs a pirouette
on the left heel, the eyes being closed

PARIS CALLS FOR RED HAIR.
And the Fashion Is for Real Brick Red.
Not Auburn.

New York,-Those women who
feel that n may as we'll be dead as
out of the fashion are need to exercise
considerable will power this spring.
Fol one thing, they simply must have
red hair to be in the fashion: not dark
red or any compromise shade. but real
brick red. That is the judgment of
Paris.
This vision. or nightmare, as you pre-
fer. of the styles that may descend
upon America ext spring, or perhaps
even this winter. was described today
by Charles G. Kurzman, who returned
from Paris on board the Cunard line
steamship Lusitania.
Paris. Mr.. kurzman says, is the
most red headed city In the world.
There is a craze for red hair. Not the
shade that Titan loved nor the tint
politely called auburn, but the brick
shade. The outrage was first perpe-
trated On the stage. but is now seen
at all the Brazilian dances and in
the and cafes.
And if she follows the rage in Paris,
the American woman must wear a

The corkscrew skirt as he Pa

girl sisters. She married Waldorf
Astor after She had divorced her first
husband, Robert Gould Shaw. and they
nave lived since their marriage at
Clivedon m the Thames.
Astor's sea in parliament is due
almost entirely to the energy and
determination of his young wife.
When he contested Plymouth the
first time he was defeated, and would
have forsaken politics had it not been
for his wife's ambitions. She took a
big house in Plymouth, entertained a
great deal and charmed. everybody.
With the result that at the next cleo
ton Plymouth changed it's mind.
Probably the most ambitious po-
litical hostess in London is Mrs. Lewis
Harcourt, who was formerly Mary
Ethel Burns. of New York, the niece
of j. Pierpont Morgan. When she mar
ried Harcourt She found him with
small political ambitions, although the
name of Harcourt was already ia
nous in h annals of English states
men. 1t is said that she has made up
her mind her husband shall be prime
minister before he dies. He is now
colonial secretary.

Evangelical Simplicity.
From the outlook.

greater nominations efficiency.
Since it's meeting in 1910. at Boston. Il
committee of 10 has becM engaged in
working II the improvements which
have now been adopted with but a
delegates.
The changes thus effected consist i'm
81 new confession of religious belief and
a new plan Of church polity. AS to the
former, it.i is remarkable for it's brevity
and evangelical simplicity, condensed
as 1t is into less than two hundred
words. strongly contrasting thus with
the extended statement set forth In
1889. A close approach to it was made
in 1906 by the statement drawn up and
agreed to for the then proposed union
of the Congregational, Methodist Prot
estant. n United Brethren churches.
Another notable feature of II is in its
equally proportioned statement of the
truths believed and the duties required
by them, as follows:
We believes in God the Father. in
finite in wisdom, goodness. and love.
and in Jesus Christ. his son, our Lord
and Savior. who. for us and our saliva

liveth evermore; ard in the Holy Spirit,

Christ to proclaim the Gospel to all
mankind. exalting for worship of the
one true God, and 8laboring for the pro
gress of knowledge and promotion of
justice. the triumph Of peace, and the
realization of human brotherhood. De-
pending, as did our fathers. upon the
continued guidance OF the Holy Spirit
to lead us into all truth. we work and
pray for the transformation Of the
world into the kingdom of God: and we
look with faith for the triumph of
righteousness and for life and glory
