Huauenot Churches and the War.
Frances Huguenot churches and their
dire need because Of war conditions
form q theme that is now being pre-
scented to the churches Of this country
through the medium Of an official dele
gate. 1t Is hoped to o u general in
terest on behalf Of the $50 churches
and congregations Of the reformed
faith in France. The Episcopal board
Of missions is appealing for aid to make
up the falling off in gifts, and suggests
pay. The plan is bound to attract at
tention because Of its originality, in
addition to the worthiness Of the OBJ,
ject sought.
"Huguenot France and the War" was
the title Of an interesting lecture deliv-
cred recently in New York. Bishop
Courtney opened the session with
prayer, and the Rev. DR.. Jowett of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church act
ed as chairman and introduced the
speaker, the Rev. Stuart L. Roussel Of
Paris, who recently arrived in this
country as the delegate Of the French
Reformed Evangelical church, which
has been sorely struck by the present
war.
This Is the old Huguenot church of
France, which, after passing through
nearly two centuries Of persecution,
was established by Napoleon as one of
the state churches of France. A few
years ago it was di%sestablished by the
government at the same time as the
Catholic and Jewish churches, and gov
eminent support was withdrawn, since
which time 1t has taken a pride in pro-
viding for its own needs and also for
extensive missionary operations both
in France and in the French colonies.
The war, however, has so affected
French finances that the very exist

made through Mr.. Roussel to the

like the old Roman catacombs. The
Evangelical Reformed church and par
sonage at Rheims were utterly Destroy
ed. The fact that this church has a
congregation of over 1000 members
came as a surprise to the audience,
some Of whom did not know Of the
existence even of a strong Protestant
church in France.
Mr.. Roussel will visit many Of the
cities Of the United States and would
be glad to hear from ministers or con-
gregations DESTROYS Of opening their
churches to give him an opportunity Of
presenting his appeal. His address is

TREASURE ISLAND GAME.
This Is For Boy Scouts Who Like to
Rove.

U0N0s
The game called treasure islund' is
for boy scouts and is played as fol
lows: A treasure Is known to be hid
den upon Il certain island or bit of
shore marked off, and the man who
hid it leaves Il map with clews for
finding it Compass directions, tide
marks, etc.. This map is hidden some
where near the landing place. The pa
trolls come in turn to look for it. they
have to row from Il certain distance
land, find the map and finally discover
the treasure. They should be careful
to leave no foot tracks, ETC., near the
treasure because then the patrols that
follow them will easily find it. The
map and treasure are to be hidden
afresh for the next patrol-when they
have been found. The patrol which
returns to the starting place with the
treasure in the shortest time wins.
This can be played on the river. the
patrols having to row across the river
to find the treasure.

WOmen's Ways and Fancies
NEW SHIRT WAIST.
It Buttons Right Up Under the Chin.
Sleeves Are Long.

Sleeves Are Long.
The new shirt waist has no longer Il
decollete. 1t buttons up right under
the chin in Il high stock collar. The
sleeve is set in either raglan or In a
rather large armhole. and If it is a
blouse model the sleeve attaches to the
lining and not to the little bolero-like
outside blouse.
Georrctte grapes, linens, voiles and
embroidered hatiste all make the most
delightful waists. Little vests Of plait-
ed lingerie, organdie or net are often
set in the front. Odd china buttons
give a new touch to the more tailored
types and Slavic embroideries a bit of
color to the light white and sand col
ored voiles and linens.
Sleeves are long and in the shirt
waists lightly gathered into n tight
cuff. In the blouse models some of the
imported styles show rufiied sleeves,
some with n series of small puffs, 9TH
ers with a high puff ut the shoulders,
with a transparent loose sleeve that
gathers into the wrist underneath.
Tailored morning skirts are of linen,
crash and ratine. a corduroy stripe
on Il net ground. They are about three
yards around the hem and cut two or
three gored circular. Their style comes
in this flare and in the smart way they
are belted in ut the waist.

the colonel, thoughtfully feeling his

and will engage that he plays faiah."
Hartleigh accepted the offer, and

looking down upon him with a cold
stare. That look the gambler must
have interpreted as an order not only
to play fair, but to see to it that his
victim won back the money he had
lost in the morning. At any rate. he
made very large bets on very small
hands, by which he lost money stead
lily, and did not seem a bit reluctant
at seeing his funds passing into Hart
leigh's possession.
All the while Colonel Sinclair stood
smoking a cigar, posing himself first
on one leg, then or the other. After
his first look at the gambler he seemed
to be only interested in the game, but
occasionally the gambler would dart
a glance up ut his imperturbable coun-
tenance and after doing so would make
another big bet on a small hand.
| Finally young Hartleigh counted the
pile Of bills and coin before him,
showed over n small sum and said:
"We're quits. Pm ever and with.
draw from the game"
The gambler cast a timid glance at
the colonel as If for instruction. then
put the amount returned in his pocket.
Hartleigh and the colonel strolled out
on to the guard. When they We're un-
observed Hartleigh seized his benefac-

LAUNCHING A VESSEL.
A Matter Of Mathematics, With a Vast
Amount Of Calculation.

A Matter Of Mathematics, With a Vast
Amount Of Calculation.
The launching of a vessel is prima-
rily a matter Of mathematics. In a
ship of immense size it calls for a vast
amount Of calculation before the first
step is taken in the actual work.
In the first place. the specific gravity
of the vessel must be figured out so as
to allow for the various strains to
which the hull is subjected on its slant
ing journey into the water, with its
sudden plunge as the bow drops from
the ways.
An enormous amount Of data must
be collected to fix this center of grav-
ity. The weight Of all the material
that has gone into the vessel up to
the time of the launching, the distri-
button Of this weight, the weight Of
chains and anchors and other material
placed on board preparatory to the
launch must all be considered.
When the center of gravity is fixed
the successful shipbuilder knows just
how to build his launching ways and
just where to strengthen them. He
knows then by a little calculation how
long each part of the vessel will be
subjected TO certain strains and how
best to prepare for them. He can fig
ure almost to the second how long
the ship will be in sliding into the wa
ter.-Exchange.

SILK FRUITS FOR TRIMMING.

the Cost.
Silk fruit in pale colors, silk fruit in
intense colors or, for that matter, silk
fruit in any color will continue to be
a most popular trimming this spring.
Purchased at a shop, the prices are
prohibitive for many girls; but. made
at home, the cost is proportionately
nothing.
Circles Of silk or kid, firmly packed
with cotton and drawn up snug. is the
recipe. Add a French knot, drawing
the silk thread all the way through the
fruit so that it f1attens it correctly,
and fasten the thread tightly to the
other side. or, in gold or green silk or
some contrasting color, work a tiny cir.
Gle in chain stitch (before filling with
cotton); then fill and draw up the cov
err. In the center of the circle place q
French knot and tighten firmly to the
opposite side.

A Few Qon'ts.

Don't forget that children are more
seriously affected by impure air than
grown people.
Don't let the nursery be used rs a
laundry nor a larder. Food should new
err be kept in it.
Don't forget that lowered vitality
makes children more liable to catch
any infectious disease.
Don't say don't to your little one.
Remember to tell the child what he is
to do. not what he is not to do.
Don't forget that little children are
easily depressed by gloomy surround
ings, and this lowers their vitality.
Don't forget that YOU sometimes do
harm to your children by doing too
much for them. There are things that
1t is far better to teach the children
to do for themselves.
Don't shake or scold n child who
wakes up and cries out in the night.
Often night terrors are a purely nerv
Gus affection and any %harshness only
makes matters worse
Don't think that money is wasted in
buying pretty paper and bright colored
paint for the decorations of the nur-
sery. Money spent on Frightening life
at its opening will bear good interest
in health and happiness.
Don't think that any room in the
house will do for the nursery. as cts

most airy and most cheerful room in
the house should be given to the chill
