Dress Accessories
Very Attractive
Wells, Boots and Collars All
Harmonic With Suits
and Hats.

Dress accessories are particularly
attractive this autumn. Ihey seem
to have been made TO harmonic ex-
actly with the fashions in hats and
garments, says a fashion writer In
New Haven Register. Every hat has
its becoming and decorative ven
Boots are made higher and more at
tractive 10 go with the very short
skirts Stock collars that reach the
ears are OF unusual daintiness. stock
ings for the low shoes have beautiful
inserts Of lace over the instep.
While the tailored" shopping bag
is envelope shaped, the afternoon arm
bag is made of beautiful metallic bro
caded silks. The half oval with the
fat top frame is a little newer than
the gatetop clasps These hang by
gold or silver chains from the arm.
While the frame is generally covered
with the material, there IS often no
clasp If there is il is a semi
precious stone set in silver
Feather boas for the neck generally
match the hat feathers. While some
Of the more elaborate are round,
there are other new choker shapes
that muffie the neck up TO the ears.
There are some new white kid
gloves which have very pretty wrist
edges that look like braceletS-old
little triangular borders of contrast
ing colored kid.
Taffeta petticoats are in attractive
colOrs. They fit snugly over the hips
and bare INTO a three-y yard hem that
has a narrow band Of featherbOne run
in the hem to keep it out. A deep
lace fiounce backed by a founce of
Georgette crepe or Of chiffon is knee
depth.
The hip crinoline, featherboning, is
not new; the imported autumn models
do not show il. liz has been the style
in the ultra fashionable frocks all
winter still, it is popular style and
many nice gowns are made this way.
Day petticoats, are of taffeta- with
two or three overlapping fiounces on
the skirt edge. These are cut into
deep petal points and finished with a
picot edge.

This was only a fragment of con-

the rattle and clangor of the electric
car, yet how full Of meaning they

noblest mission because of this; good

We need to realize more wildly the
necessity of being pleasant to live
with, as well as faithful to life's obli-
cations. We may accomplish our daily
tasks painstakingly and well, and bear
our full share of each days burdens
and perplexities and yet by an unlove-

of I ONLY HAD THE TIME"

Some boys will pick up an education
in the odds and ends of time which
others carelessly throw away, as one
man saves a fortune by small econo-
mics which others disdain to practise.
What young man is too busy to get
an hour a day for self Improvement?
You will never find" time for any
thing. If you want time, you must
take it.
If a genius like Gladstone carried
through life little book in his pocket
lest an unexpected moment should slip
from his grasp, what should we, of
common abilities, resort to to save the
precious moments from oblivion?
Drive the minutes or they will drive
you. Success in life is what Garfield
called a question of margins" Tell
me how a young man uses the little
ragged edges of time while waiting
for meals or tardy appointments after
his days work is done, or evenings
what opportunity-and will tell what
that mans success will be. One can
usually tell by manner, the direc
ton of the wrinkles in his forehead
or the expression OF his eyes, whether
it is his habit to use time to good
advantage.
The most valuable of all possessions
is time; life itself is measured by it
The man who loses no time doubles his
life.
Some squander time, some invest it
some kill it. The precious half-houl
day which many of us throw away
rightly used, would save us from the
ignorance which mortifies us, the mar
rowness and pettiness which always
attend exclusive application to oul
callings.
Four things come not back-tht
spoken word, the sped arrow, the pas
life, and the neglected opportunity.

LEAD GIRLS TO SAVE.

1t is no particular hardship to learn
to save money. 1t is something that
has to be learned; it rarely comes
naturally. If the girl who earns five
dollars a week and pays two and a
half for board can be depended upon
to put dollar of the remainder aside,
we'll and good; if not, she should be
encouraged, nay, even compelled to do
so. A bank book is a great help in
these matters, and if she is not will
ing to put in a dollar at a time, she
should hand it to her mother or father
until it becomes five. When the
Postal Banks, which are reaching out
for just these small savings, becomes
established throughout the country,
they will be an infinite help. For,
Uncle Sam disdains the large de-
position, and will not accept more than
hundred dollars month from any
body. But he gladly furnishes a
stamp book for the stray dimes.
The girl who saves a dollar each
week will have fifty to spend on a
summer visit or some pretty clothes
it matters little what she spends it for
as long as the habit of thrift is estab
lished. And the girl who pays her
board and saves little, is the really
self-rCspeCting wage Garner. She is
neither a spendthrift nor a slave, and
she is self-supporting, says the Moth
er's Magazine. She is getting more
out of her work than the mere occupa-
ton or the mere money. She is form,
ing habits of industry, thrift and indie
pendenCe.

THE KINGS BELL.

The story of the kings bell has
been woven into verse by true poet
In prose it runs somewhat like this:
Once upon time, after long and
honorable reign, king lay dying
He called his son and heir and said
to him:
"The lives of all kings sooner or
later come to naught; he who seems
to rule is the vefiest slave. You
must look for nothing but life OF
trouble, and consider yourself fortu.
nate if you can some day die in
peace"
But the prince, being young and
full of hope, and having the wilful'
ness of inexperience, protested, as
young persons will, that he knew bet
ter.
"The cares of state" he said, shall
sit lightly upon me. The life of a
king should be one long holiday.

world what true happiness means

one can not be happy? Why, bird
in the air or a peasant in the field
is better off than that! / am in nc
hurry for my kingdom,-indeed, dear
father, | am not; but | shall be a
happy king"
While he spoke his father sighed
and died. When the royal mourning
was over, the new king ordered that
a bell of silver should be placed
upon the top of the palace in a high
tower. Attached to it were many
ropes, so arranged to connect with
the rooms below that, whatever the
king might be, one should be always
near his hand.
Whenever ] am happy | shall ring
the BELL he told his courtiers ant
his friends; and that, you shall see

fathers dying words were mistaken

ACQUAINTED

The sewing-room table was piled
high with pink and blue and white,
with sleeves and skirts and bands and
ruffles that at the end of days of rush
ing work were to result in the dainty
little gowns in which .Maidie made a
picture to rejoice her mothers heart
Mrs. Cameron had been sewing since
luncheon, and there was a deep line
between her eyes and a tired color in
her cheeks. When Maidie slipped into
the room and began idly lingering
some pieces, she spoke sharply:
"Maidie, you must let things alone
can hardly get the work done, as
it is. Why don't you go out in the
yard to play?"
Nancy Henderson is down there,
Maidie responded slowly.
Then why don't you go down and
play with her? Run away, and DOM
come until | call you"
Maidie did not run. She started
obedient1y, but at the door she stopped
with a wistful hesitancy. Her mother
did not look up, and very slowly
Maidie went downstairs.
It was a warm spring afternoon AMI
the windows were open, but Mrs
Cameron had no time to look out
The voices came up to her from be
meath the window, however.
The first was Nancy's.
What did she say?s

Then Maidie' sand Maidies mother
knew the wistful look in the brown
eyes that went with that note in her
voice.
CT didn't ask her.
''Why not?" Nancy's surprise was
incredulous.
Maidie's voice was embarrassed now
and hurt. She was trying to be brave,
and pretending not to care.
well, you see, she was so busy
making my dresses Mother always is
busy. Somehow we've don't have
time to get very well acquainted"
Up in the sewing-room overhead the
work fell from womans nerveless
fingers. Not time to get acquainted!
Did Maidie feel that way? Why, in
five years Maidie would be in the high
schools, and in five years more The
sewing was utterly forgotten now;
here was something infinitely more
important that must be thought out.
That night, after Maidie was in bed
her mother came in. Maidie's eager

THE STAYING QUALITY.

There are two elements of guilt in
every sin, says Father Walter Elliott,
in the Missionary. One is the act
itself, the guilty pleasure or the
greedy intereStedness, or the malig
nant aversion. The other is the in
terror self-complacency. Now this
last is the more essential malice of
every sin. 1t is that which creates
the SelfiShneSS and concupiscence and
malignity of the sin; it is that which
survives as a tendency after the deed
is done, or even pardoned-a living
root for future sin. 1t is so deeply
planted as to hide the wickedness of
the sin from our eyes. Pride rankles
in every wound of the human soul. 1t
is only after this love of self has been
overcome by the love of God through
years of prayer and sacraments and
providential trials, that we are freed
from delusions and can explore the
depts of our malice, in a word, be
made humble. Self-love must be cast
out as an unclean intruder and the
love of God take it's place in our
heart before we can see ourselves as
we are.
And then a curious thing happens;
out past sins are made of avail for
our perseverance in grace, because
their memory puts us out of sorts
with ourselves. The easy feeling of
self-conceit is vanished; and although
it surely returns again, we are never
SO SNUG as once we were. Humanity
is the staying quality in repentance,
as pride is the malicious quality in
sinfuIness. Our Lord showed st. Ger
trude how the last state of penitence
in a sincere soul may be made better
than the first state of innocence. He
revealed this to her: eff a person has
a stain on his hand, in order to get 1T
off he must wash his hand so hard
that he makes it cleaner than it was
before it was stained And He also
said this to her: eff you tear a rent
in a fine silken robe, and mend it
skillfully, with gold lace the mending
lends an additional ornament to the
whole garment" Penitents, however,
should have practical view of things
spiritual and watch their chances, SO
that opportunities to feel shame may
not escape them. st. Alphonsus says:
"All wish to be humble, but there are
few that wish to be humbled."

in good time to administer the last
Sacramento A noise of weeping
floated through the palace.
What sound is that?' asked the
king.
They dared not tell him. Il com
mand you to tell me- he said to the
grand chamberlain; but he turned
away his face. A priest then stepped
toward him and whispered:
"The people, your Majesty, are
weeping because you are SO soon to
leave them"
Am / dying, them"
"You are in grievous danger of
death, and should think of your de-
parting soul"
"And my people love me SO much
that they weep because am to leave
them?" he demanded eagerly, lifting
his head from the pillow
Sire, they would gladly die for you,
they love you SO, answered the
priest
Then such a beautiful look as no
one there has ever seen overspread
the whitening face of the dying king
He reached out his hand, rang the
bell, and with it's sweet and silver
clangor sounding, and the consultations
of Holy Church filling his soul, he
passed to the happiness of Paradise

IN ASSOCIATlNG WITH NON
CATHOLICS.

1t is the Correct Thing:
To be willing and ready at all
times and under all circumstances
to give the reason for ones religious
beliefs when asked to do SO by a sim
cere seeker after truth.
To avoid argument merely for the
sake of argument.
To say nothing needlessly to wound
the feelings and religious opinions of
those out of the Church.
TO refute calumnies against the
Church when they come under ones
notice.
To remember that all minds can
not see alike; that certain minds I'M
ilIumined by the grace of God are ut
terly unable to grasp religious truths
which are perfectly clear to even a
little child who has studied its Cate
chism faithfully.
TO be firm always in ones adher-
ence to the teachings of the Church,
even at the risk of giving offence to
others outside her pale.
To remember that "a liberal Cath
olic," in the sense in which the term
is usually understood, is often no
Catholic at all.
To know that right and wrong is a
matter of conscience, even where one
has a false conscience. )
To know that a Catholic has no
excuse for having a false conscience
To know that ignorance is hardly
an excuse for a Catholic, for there is
every chance afforded for knowing the
truth.
To know that it is forbidden for a
Catholic to take part in any Protes
tant service.
To remember that curiosity is not
the proper motive in seeking the
House of God.
To know that Catholics visiting in
mont Catholic families should be ex
cused from taking part in the family
prayers.
To participate in the grace said al
table, if nothing is said contrary to
the teaching of the Church in the
form used.
To know that Catholics are excom
municated who marry before a Prot
estant minister.
To know that Catholics can not

some of the daily newspapers, one is
convinced that very little spiritual up
lift is to be obtained by partaking of
the pulpit-fare which is offered in
some of the churches. One is not
strengthened in his good resolutions,
nor uplifted in mind, nor brought into
closer communion with God. Perhaps
the listener expected to be guided,
improved, instructed, and inspired
instead of being compelled to sit for
forty minutes to harken to, sensa-
tional topic on the war in Europe, the
morality of female suffrage, or the
unscripturalness of the Darwinian
theory of evolution. 1t was not in
this way that the Apostles and the
great preachers of early church his
tory converted men and women to a
life of righteousness, and established
the Catholic Church throughout the
world.
Daniel Webster was once asked
what sort of sermon he liked best
and he replied that he liked the dis.
course which drove him into the cor.
ner of his pew and made him think
that the Devil was after him. Mr.
Gladstone wrote that the clergymen
of the day were not, as a rule, severe
enough upon their congregations
They did not sufficiently lay upon the
souls and consciences of their hearers
their moral obligations, or probe Their
lives and bring them up to the bar OF
conscience. Mr.. D. L. Moody, the
non-Catholic evangelist, used to say
that the revival which America most
needed was revival of the Ter
Commandments. 1t would seem thai
the sermons which would do gooG
are those that are similar to the one
which offended Lord Melbourne wher
he complailed that he was obliged Il
listen to a preacher who insisted upOr
a mans applying his religion to his
private life. This is the kind O
preaching that men need in these
days, and in some places they ge
very little of it. The object of al
preaching should be the salvation o
souls, and their subsequent establish
ment and strengthening in grace ant
spiritual power.
With what fearless confidence on
can recommend the Catholic pulpit a.
a source of clear and infallible pro
clamation of Divine Truth! Withou
guess-work or suggestions as to tn
meaning of Holy Writ, without pan
dering to the shifting and many-sidet
questions of the day, the preache
boldly announces bis theme, an,
presses forward to logical conclu
sion without fear or favor of his aud
ence. He probes the conscience, e1
lightens the intellect, moves tn
heart, sways the will, and brings tn
nearer into a position where he mus
; boldly accept or refuse the offer O
salvation. He knows the message t
: which he has been listening, and h
knows that it was intended for hin
The preacher did not give utteranc
to it in order to set before him
literary production that might tickl
, his fancy, but stood as the Ambasss
dor of Christ announcing to him TIL
, terms on which he would be recor
ciled to the Almighty, and withou
the acceptance of which he must pei
ish forever. We believe this is tn
kind of preaching that men need.
