Deadly
Room

Recently a furnisher and decorator
was called upon to criticise a room that
mad been redecorated and refurnished.
IL was a sitting room in the home of q
trim middle aged woman. Everything
In the room was neatness personifled.
Inc furniture was good, the rugs well
CHOSEN, the draperies and wall paper
correct Yet there seemed to be some
thing wrong about that room.
The housewife felt it, but it took sew
eral minutes puzzling before the ex-
pert realized that what gave to the
place Its suggestion of stiffness SO
closely approaching real discomfort
was that 1t totally lacked perquisites.
1t had the deadliness of q room that
Is never actually lived in. 1t was en-
t1rely lacking in personal touch. There
was nothing to bespeak the taste, hab-
It's or character of her who dwelt in it.
If it had only had a cushion among
the others that looked as though it
might have been worked by the fingers
OF a friend-if there had been a rack
or magazines or a table with some IA
vorite book open face down upon it
II there had been a musical instrument
or set of golf sticks in the corner or
bit Of sewing or even a bird or a box
OF ferns-some spirit might have
breathed into it.
But as it was, in spite of the fact
that 1t was faultlessly as well as ex-
pensively furnished, it was as lifeless
as a wax lay figure well coifed and
Paris gowned smiling a stuck-on smile
from behind the plate glass Of some
store show window.
Among the extras that are most de-
strable adjunctS to sense Of comfort
at the home are variety Of small ia
bles.. Hardly can a room be cheerfully
settled without at least one small table
In 1t. 1t may be little reading table
at the head of the bed or q teakwood
stand near the window, card table
or one to write on.
OF all the small tables put on the
market this year none can equal In
general utility as well as seemliness
the combination table tea wagon.
The new type has top tray, with q
good sized drawer beneath it. In the
center is a shelf, so that papers and
magazines ordinarily kept on top may
be hurriedly cleared off, and lower
down is still another cased in shelf.
Sooner or later some enterprising
manufacturer will make such a table
with a drop leaf at either side. With
such an adjustment a table of this
sort could be laden with hot dishes in
the kitchen and wheeled into the Hv-
ing room. The leaves being set up
would enlarge it sufficiently for two
or four persons to dine at it comfort
ably.
The makeup table is the latest temp
tation to women who enjoy the use of
fine toilet articles and who, realizing
now the almost prohibitive price Of
imported creams, lotions and cosmet-
ics, are careful to keep such treasures
under lock and key.
The makeup table is about as high
as an ordinary dressing table, but
measures only Il by IA inches across.
It looks like a box on legs, and that
really is about what it is. The lid lifts
ND and is lined with a mirror. In the
body of the box are little compart-
ments for the various powders, per-
fumes, etc, and the lid fastens down
with fine spring lock.

by the writings of a man who had
been Influenced through the mem
ory Of the mother who started the
chain of. good lives. A mothers in
luence is one of the most powerful
things in the world. The true moth
er is glad to devote herself to her
children and not run after too many
interests outside her home.
/ She teaches her daughters so that
they r what they should be. D..
Craig told Of the different traits Of
character which parents must have
if their children are ito, be what they
should, be. Parents must put first
things first. They must show their
children that they care more for their
religious nurture than for anything
else in the world. "
In the evening, DR.. Craig preached
from the story of the woman, whom
the Bible calls great, the woman who
entertained Gods prophet in her
home. The prophet gave her. a son,
and when as a little boy he was
sun-struck, her importantly, in the
face of difficulty, which would not
take mo for an answer, shows us
how we must continue steadfastly in
prayer il we seek to have what we
ask. We must be concerned for the
salvation Of our communities as we'll
as for ourselves.

LONGEVITY OF WOMEN

DR.. Cressy L.. Wilbur, expert in
longevity statistics, , declares that
women live longer than men. We give
his own explanation:
"The marked lower mortality of the
female population affords the most
hopeful promise for the further re.
duction of the general death date.
The death rate of males seems ID
follow the path of possibility first
blazed by the, female rate. In other
words, by greater protection from lie
hazards, by. greater. moderation, re-
straint and perhaps greater adaptable
ity to the increasing Terminating con.
ditions of modern life, woman is the
healthier animal and, as fittest, is
surviving to a greater extent at
practically every age"
His theory is a new one. Insur.
ance companies have often consid-
cred women poorer risks than men.
DR.. WiDbur's observation that the
adaptability to the increasing fem.
inizing conditions" of life is respons.
ible for the greater longevity Of
women would indicate that the change
is not as beneficial to the males as
to the females. e .rf-: ~ -.
The feminist movement in discour-
aging moderation and restrain and
insisting on engaging in all the haz-
ards of life may in time disprove DR..
Wilbur's theory.

BAPTIST SERVICES

At the Baptist church Sunday
morning, the music was Of especial
interest and charm. 1t was also ap'
propriate and we'll rendered. Miss
Mcleod sang a solo, Miss Mcleod
and Miss Berger a duet, and an al
them was sung by the choir. Mr..
Jackson in recognition of Mothers
Day, took as his theme, THE Place
Of Motherhood in the Development
OF our Civilization" He treated this
under three main heads, dealing with
the influence which Motherhood has
had on the world. An an introduc-
ton he gave illustrations from the
Bible showing the place of Mother
hood in the world. Turning to his
chief topic, he treated it under these
three subdivisions: First, Notices.
influrnce is a silent, unnoticed infil'
ence; Second, it is a purifying intl'l.
ence, and third, it is an influence re-
vealng and interpreting the message
of God to humanity. The individual
care Of the mother typifies His love,
her vicarious suffering is like His,
the inconsistencies of the boy who
has gone far from hone, and then
turns his footsteps back again, feel
ing that he cannot get there fast
enough, shows the pulling character
of his mothers love. It is also the
promise of the joys of vi heavenly
homie.
At the evening service, the chorus
choir sang we'll, and led in a oas
ing song service. Mr.. Jackson preach
ed the last sermon on "Tlle Voices
of the 'Springtime," the special sub
ject being, "A Song of the Stars.
This was treated as, first, a song Of
Gods glory; second, a song of the
Joy of obedience, and third, a song
of the eternities.

METHODIST

At the morning services DR.. Craig
preached a sermon appropriate to
Mothers Day. The scripture reading
was taken from the story of Hannah
and her child Samuel.
DR.. Craig showed how f~ar-reaching
was the influence Of a good mother
by telling of a body who was con-
verified by his mothers influence.
This mother had died when the boy
was but seven. and he became a wild
young man. Once, while in a terrible
storm at sea, where he thought he
would die, he remembered the life
of his mother, was converted and be.
came a great divine. His preaching
attracted a man who in his turn did
a great work, and his another. In
this line of influence was Wilberforce,
the man who freed the slaves in the
British dominions, and still later
Abraham Lincoln was deeply moved

about $4,000 wild geese that have
made headquarters for a month in a
slough ten miles south of Buffalo. Or
%dinarily they come through this sec
ton the latter part Of March, and early
in April and go to the breeding
grounds to the north. This year they
have fed in the fields and remained
in one large flock instead of pairing
off. Some farmers claimed they have
damaged the wheat feds by cutting
off the fresh grain shoots and sprouts
This is not regarded as serious, how
ever, for it is usually considered that
grain which is eaten down in this
manner is benefited rather than dam
aged. Some farmers and hunters are
of the opinion that the geese went
north and probably driftd back be-
cause of a lack Of water in their usual
breeding places. ~
