WANTED TO SEE THE FINISH
Small Girl Did Not Consider That the
End of the Proceedings Had
Been Reached.

The short interval that elapsed Dc
tween the visit of the little girl TO
commencement exercise and atten-
dance at an old-fashioned camp-meeC-
ing may explain remark that sac
made at the religious event She went
there with her grandmother, and, very
much interested in everything that oc-
Cured, asked numerous questions

who is that woman up there ana
what is she doing?" asked the little
girl, referring to woman who was on
her knees In the "amen corner.
81 don't know who she is, but she's
going to get religion" was the reply
Some time elapsed and the woman
remained on her knees. Finally, tho
grandmother of the little girl became
tired of the service and announced
that it was time to leave.
"Oh, let's not go yet" exclaimed her
grandchild. Lets wait and see EN-

Cretonne HANDBAGS.

There is a rage for things made Of
cretonne-not cushions and slips to
cover the chairs and curtains, but
things to wear.
One of the latest cretonne novelties
is the cretonne handbag. 1t is not nee
essarily cheap as the fabric from
which it is made might make one
think it u.s. For it is made and mount
ed in an expensive, as we'll as in a
cheap, way. The expensive mount
shows a silk lining and substantial
metal frame of good quality, and this
sort of handbag can be appropriately
carried with the most elaborate lin
gerie frock. The cheaper cretonne
handbag is also pretty with lingerie
frocks, especially at the seashore or
in the country.

Chicken Broth With Rice.

Select a soft-meated fowl milk
fed, if possible); disjoint and prepare
for stewing. Cover with sufficient wa
ter; bring to the boil, and place in the
fireless cooker for four hours or more,
or simmer gently over 3 slow fire I'M
til tender, adding boiling water when
necessary. Cook sufficient rice to
thicken soup and for pudding next
day Season the broth with salt, pep
per and bay leaf.
The pieces of chicken may be lifted,
drained, Toured, seasoned and fried
in butter, little broth being reserved
to add to the Drowned butter for the

Are Not Really Wasted.
Is it any wonder that the ammu'
milton bill is big and that results do
not measure up to it? 1t must be re-
membered. however, that the constant
dropping of shells keeps the morale OF
the foemen down and that when it Is
said that the shots are wasted the
words do not express the full truth.
One of the most interesting things
which l saw on the battle front in
France, was the attempt of French
battery to bring down" a captive bal
loon which the Germans had sent up
from their lines for observation pur-
poses. The two Germans in the bas-
men of magnificent nerve. The range
was not a long one and the first
French shells burst at some distance
from the balloon. Gradually, how
ever, the shots began getting nearer
and nearer to the mark, but the bal
loonists with their lives in their hands
went on taking their observation amid
a rain of projectiies until apparently
the commanding officer on the ground
below ordered that they should be
pulled down to a place of safety.
The men who go up in the air to
fight, whether they be Englishmen,
Frenchmen, Belgians, Germans, Rus
slams, Turks or Italians, are perhaps
the transcending heroes of this war.

Had it not been for the war which
is engaging the German nation, the
wedding of Fraeulin lisa Won Beth
mann-Hollweg, the daughter of the
German imperial chancellor, to Count
Won Zech-Burkersroda would have
been a grand court fete, with all it's
attending pomp and ceremony. But
in keeping with the serious affairs
Of the nation, the ceremony was
marked by it's simplicity. The pho
tograph shows the German chancellor
walking down the flower-strewn road
with his daughter by his side. In the
happiness of the moment, the grizzled
old veteran forgot everything else but
the big event, the wedding of his
daughter to the man of her choice.
