PAYS to Advertise.

Churches in New York realize the
great advantages Of advertising and
besides using the columns OF the daily
papers in their soul saving work and
electric signs and crosses on their edi-
fees they send out solicitors, men and
women, to help swell their congrega-
lions and enlarge their Sunday schools.
But the most daring church lad" is
that of Rev. DR.. Fred Winslow
AdssiA. pastor Of st. Andrews Metho-
dist Episcopal church. He decided to
deliver a series of sermons on Love
Stories From the Bible" for which he
had an artist draw fetching poster
Of two lovers when the moon drops
low. Thousands of copies in blues.
browns and orange tints were distrib-
uted, and in addition the pictures were
printed in the newspapers as paid
matter" Since the minister began to
exploit the Love Stories" his congre-
cations have more than doubled.
Which again demonstrates that It pays
to advertise.

ploy feathers at all. This is especial
ly true of those designed for younger
women.
At the right little cap is shown,
made of small pearl beads strung on
fine wire. Little Jet balls dangle
about its edge and a large Jet star
shaped ornament serves to mount a
crest of feathers at the front.
Pretty caps of white or black ma
lines are mounted ON bands covered
with rows of rhinestones or pearls and
sometimes a latticework of these mock
jewels crosses their surface. Narrow
black velvet ribbon is used to fin
ish them, with long hanging loops at
one side and loose bride under the
chin.
Narrow silver or gold gauze ribbons
are wound over bands covered with
silk for making many of the less ex-
pensive ornaments. Clusters of small
flowers, tinsel butterflies or orna-
ments, and tassels % beads finish
them. Nothing is prettier or better
liked than spangled bands finished
with butterflies to match. These come
in silver and gold and in many col
ors. There are also wreaths of beauti-
fully made flowers of chiffon or satin.

II appears that the pursuit of hap

very much one and the same thing,
judging from the belongings of wom-
en- who are able to indulge taste
for the beautiful. A study of those
things that are made more for the
purpose of being decorative than for
being useful reveals an enticing play
OF fancy in their makeup; witness the
fans, the jewelry and the hair orna-
ments Of the hour. The matter of

beautiful and, next to that, to be
original and clever in design.
Any number of fascinating decora-
tions for the couture allure those who
have occasion to wear them. Near
ly all of them consist of band sup
porting standing ornament of some
kind, and all sorts of sparkling and
glowing and colorful materials are
used to make them. Spangles, tinsels,
rhinestones and pearls-the spangles
in all colors, as well as silver and
gold-provide the glitter. Tulle and
ribbon and flowers play their happy
parts, and a few soft and graceful
feathers are given places of distinc-
ton on the couture ornaments of the
day, or, rather, of the night. Jet in

1t is lined with satin, and the founda-
ton band is wired along its edges, to
keep 1t smooth.
The strand of rhiaestones is set
above two rows of small Jet beads
along the center. These terminate in
small ornament and tassel that
serve to mount spray of black feath-

er similar accessories, it is possible to
vary the appearance of dress that

waist, which is worn for travelling or
to business, loses its identity by the
addition of pretty finish of this kind.
Organdie collar and cuff sets and
those made of ribbon answer the same
purpose but do not add any warmth.
Sets like that illustrated, and those
made Of ribbon, make lovely Christ

striped ribbon in bright colors, or
plaid ribbons, are chosen for the rib
bon sets. Fancy silk and chenille
braids offer wide choice of color and
design for the braid sets. Plain satin
is used for lining them and they are
fastened with snap fasteners.

Bird Wears Artificial Lea,

wild bird in the country that has an
artificial leg. This handsome cock
pheasant owes it's life to the skill II
DR.. August r. White. dentist,
The pheasant, with one leg broken
off just above the foot, and apparently
injured in battle with cats. was
found on the farm several weeks ago
and was taken to the Lott home.
Doctor White. sportsman, heard
of the bird and made an artificial
brass leg, which he fixed to the In
jured stump with silver wires. After
the pheasant had worn its new leg a
week, the wires broke. Then Doctor
White fashioned another leg to ut
snugly about the remnant of broken
bone, and this time procured a sup
port upon which the bird could walk
with apparent ease.
