The Spring TaiIor-Made.

An exceedingly original tailor made in
navy serge is both practical and at
tractive. This model exploits a Breton
outline. 1t was, in fact. a feminine edi-
tion, considerably modified, of a Breton
sailors suit. The short skirt is plain,
but very full at the hem, and there's q
delightful little coat of REFER form
decorated with black silk braid, which
has been beautifully embroidered here
and there with threads of crimson and
dull silver.
This is one of the latest IDEAS
lengths of handsome black or white
silk braid worked over with metallic
threads or fine floss silks. This work
can be done without the slightest diff
ficulty by amateur hands.
This soft, fine and yet heavy serge is
the thing for suits.

SPINACH IN MANY FORMS

Soak the spinach in cold water and
remove all yellow leaves. Then clean
it in five or six changes of water. or
else in running water, until it is alb
solutely free from all dirt. Lift it
from the last water into a saucepan and
cover it; cook it, stirring it now and
then to keep it from burning. After
fifteen minutes add salt and cook for
five minutes longer. Then drain and
prepare as desired. This method of
cooking insures greenness and good
flavor Enough of the water last used
for washing the spinach clings to it to
cook it, and it is not necessary to waste
the flavor by adding more water.

The Illiokota Conference.

The 1lliokota District Conference
of the Brethren church was held at
the fine new Brethen church in Leon
the past week, the sessions opening
on Thursday evening and closing
with the evening services on Sunday
evening.
There were about fifty delegates

count of the bad weather of last
week as many Of the delegates had
planned to drive to Leon in autos, but
what was lacking in numbers was
mace up with enthusiasm, and the
confer ence was one Of the best ever
held.
Rev. w. H. Beachler, of Waterloo,
Iowa, presided as Moderator, and he
is an ideal presiding officer as well
as a most powerful and eloquent
minister
The attendance by local people at
all the sessions Of the conference
was quite large, the big church be-
ing crowded at each session. On
Thursday evening Moderator Beach

the conference, and it was a power

the large audience.

1t gives us pleasure to report good
services for the last Lords day. We
noted a substantial increase in the
Sunday school service, and folks tell
uss that the audience for the morn
ing and evening preaching services
were good. However true this may
be they were in no ways near as
large as they should have been. If
we are correctly informed the COM
bined seating capacity of all the
churches in Leon will not accommo-
date but little more than half the
population of the town. If this is
true, all of the churches, conditions
being right, should be crowded for
both services. Christian people of
Leon, if we have any mission as
church folks, if the wearing of the
name of Christ means anything at
all, if the commission of Christ is
valid at all, and if the church be a
community necessity, let us get to

This is the season of the year for

There is plenty of work to thorough

the non-church man, militantly ar

MISS ETHEL BARRYMORE
Will Appear in q Five-Part Dramatic
Romance-"The Nightingale

The debut of Miss Ethel Barrymore
in a screen play, "The Nightingale"
devised especially for her by August
US Thomas, is an event even in this
era Of events.
Miss Barrymore holds the eye ev-
cry moment she is in the scene, and
not because she is this or that type,
not because she responds to roman
tic ideal. She reaches the mind quite
as much as she does the heart with an
infinity of fine character delineation,
and with homespun indebtedness
that makes one glad that she is ours.
The effects that she achieves appear
to be drawn from simple materials
it is flashed upon us at unexpected
moments that she has rare insight
into the human heart-and she has
a still rarer quality of communicat-
ing by delicate methods her many
fleeting shades of thought and emo
ton.
The pervading spirit of the story
is that of fine womanhood, one that
rises by nobility, tenderness and self
abnegation instead of by force and
assertion. Ethel smiles very much as
Isola smiles, even to smell the flowers
or see sunshine lit is simply glorious
for such strong, healthy and sweet
nature to live.
This new, five-part dramatic ro-
nance, featuring an all-star cast, will
be shown at the Princess Theatre on
Thursday night, January 2S.-Adv.,
