those unfortunates confined in our

From time to time out of this mi

for orthodox Bible Interpretation and
more Or less genius in the art Of COM

differing from his predecessor and in
method of eXpounding the gospel is al
ways at variance with those who have
gone before.
In our own time we have had the

much direct or reflected good their
works have accomplished there is no

those outside Of the church will agree
that they did some good. Neyerthe-

that our poor old world is rapidly slid

1t is difficult not to see the inconsist-

cause right in the beginning it is a con-

that all Christ's sacrifice was futile;
that Christianity, however interpreted,
has been tried and founG wanting.
that the aggregate life work of all pre-

Keeping Hair Fluffy.

With the aid of waivers and other
similar simple co%ntrivances some girls
are able to impart to their hair a
charmingly fluffy appearance until
they go out in the damp or the wind;
then the fluttiness disappears as though
by magic, and the hair hangs in dank
Wisps over their brOws.
Here is a remedy. Before putting in
the waivers damp the strands of hair
to be waved with a little slightly di-
luted eau de cologne. This will serve
to keep the wave in for quite a long
time. You must dilute the eau de CO.
logne with water, though: otherwise
the hair will frizz too stiftiy. Just to
what extent you will require to dilute
it you will find by experience. A tea
spoonful of each, however, will usually
meet the case.

With the waist loose and V shaped

back of the neck in place or to prevent

are sloping.

There was a click, and once more
Enoch was left to talk to nobody. But
he heard a succession Of giggles all
along the line and a succession of
clicks as a number Of women, both
young and elderly, hung up their re-
ceivers. The ears of the eay%esdroppers
We're much sharper than Enoch's, and
they knew that each of the rivals had
said that if he didn't give her up the
other would have nothing more to do
with him.
The next Sunday afternoon the road
between the Perkinses and the Shorts

In and Out of the Children S Playroom
FLYING KITES FOR PRIZES.
This Is an interesting and Exciting
Sport,

SFOiS
This game is interesting and exciting
for those who take an interest in kite
flying. 1t is necessary to have one or
o persons to act as judges. Any
body may enter a kite. The decision Is
based upon the length of time required
to get the kite into the air, The eleya-
ton attained, the steadiness with
which the kite maintains it's position or
makes the ascent. and any other points
agreed upon. This contest is sometimes
varied by having only two contestants
at one time: each is allowed to arm his
string with any weapons he chooses.
The object is to maneuver the kite so
as to cut the opponents string in TWO
and thus to bring down his kite. This
permits of a very high degree of skill

weapon and maneuvering to get the op-
ponent in Il good position for attack

For a Simple Wedding.

If the bride wears Il street costume
she should also wear a hat and coat
to complete it. Some fashionable and
smart brides dress this way for their
weddings, especially il either the bride
or bridegroom has been married before
or If neither is in the first youth. AS
to %colors, light gray or tan is prefer

such a wedding, which is supposed to
be a quiet, simple affair.

An Ancient Industry That Was Reviv.
ed by Queen M%arsherita.
The lace of Venice has been celebrat-
ed for many centuries. 1t was made
originally by nuns within the walls
of converts for ecclesiastical garments.
Then, with the fall of the Venetian
republic, the converts We're closed and
the lace industry ceased to exist for
an entire century.
In 1870 the Princess Margherita, aft
erward queen Of Italy, took measures
to revive it. especially as a means Of
providing employment for Venetian
women At present there are several
schools. subsidized by the government,
in which the art is taught.
The pupils are women of all ages.
Each sits on 4 low stool and holds a
plump, square cushion in her lap. On
this cushion is pinned Il strip Of paper
marked with the pattern to be follow
cd, and into this pattern the nimble
fingered worker sticks glass headed
pins, about which she twists her
threads. From twenty to fifty shuttles
depend from all sides Of the cushion,
and these are thrown across and back
with the rapidity of a typist handling
the keys of her machine.
The process looks SO simple that it
looks like play, but the lace produced
represents thousands of dollars. The
simple laces grow rapidly under the
deXterous fingers OF the women, but
the exquisite rose point and other SINH
lar sorts are evolved much more slow

FrillS and Fancies In Woman s Sphere
HOW TO DRESS.
The Advice Of a Famous Actress Not
to Be Followed Too Closely.


"Dress your character, not your fS-
ure," Is the advice Of a famous actress
and rather surprising this advice
seems at first hearing. But think 1t
over we'll and the excellence Of the
idea will appeal to you. Every woman
has a certain individuality Of her W
"a temperament, il you wiil--that
makes her a little. or perhaps a good
deal. different from all other women.
1t Is this Observation-Disclosures tempera-
ment-that woman should dress up to,
according to the actress, in order to
make the personality more marked
and convincing.
But an instructive carrying out OF
this advice with no heed to the prompt
tngs of reason may result in disaster.
For example, there is always the wo-
man who weighs 200 pounds or there
abouts, but whose personality is dis
tinctly %kittenish. Is she to dress her
character-or her figure? There is also
the little woman who ought to belong
to the cuddly, appealing class, who
yearns to be impressive and stately. If
she insists upon wearing the garments
of the grenadier woman she may spoil
her chances of being fascinatingly
charming.
The actress in her part always Is
dressed in conformity With the char
acter she is portraying. but her cos
tumes-and here is an important point
are made to suit her figure lines
while expressing a special sort Of per-
sonality. Therefore if the delightful
1ounces of the 1880 period suit your
type exactly. but are a bit trying to
your too solid figure, adopt the
flounces, but see to 1t that they are sc
cut and so arranged that the lines OF
the Silhouette are right. This IS true
also of pert millinery styles, Of classic
draperies or oriental modes. They al
may be worn, when they suit the per
sonality. If their lines are cleverly
| adapted to the figure that is to sustain
them.

Lettuce. endive and romaine are all
good salad green's. The two latter
may also be cooked in several attrac-

the basis Of a cream of lettuce soup or
may be boiled and chopped like spinach

sauce.
Every housekeeper should realize the
tonic properties Of these spring salads,
and some variety of salad should ap-
pear at least once daily in every we'll

Of the greens themselves. although a

is permissible. Avoid all rich mayon-

han will devote some time to base
running ideas, several poor bits Of
thinking having been exhibited by
various athletes in recent games, es-
peCially during the series with Louis
vile, which closes today.
Cubs won yesterday, 5 to 1, but
would have registered a larger total
if Good and McLarTy hadn't staged a
pair of skull plays on the paths. With
a good pitching staff and a better
than average hitting team generally,
the Cubs must also have some base
running to win games. Bresnahan
knows this, and his cry has been for
speed. But he wants speed mixed
with brains, and will drum his ideas
into his hired mems heads.
The batting continues light, but it
is timely, and much of it is being done
by the recruits, Williams, McLarry
and Fisher.
Bert Humphries has been forced
out of the camp by a strained knee,
but will be back before the team
starts north. HUMPHREYS trouble is
nothing to worry about, as he never
rounds into condition early and will
not be retarded in his development.
Standridge did some more pitching
and was wild. He had a world of re-
serve stuff, however, and blanked the
Colonies during his stay on the
mound.

ditiOns under which the White Sox
have trained this spring; yesterdays

Tribute to Mrs. Looper

Mr.. Editor: | wish to ask for
space in your paper to speak q
few words in regard to a great
soul that this county has lost,
namely, Mrs. e. +. Looper. This
good woman passed away about
6 p. m. on the 23d of this month.
Her age was SO. l had the
Grand privilege Of meeting this
sainted wife and mother a few
days ago, and it makes me glad
to think that l met her before
she went hence.
| did not have the sad lot try
ing to find if she was a Chris
tian, for 1 could hear this of her
from everyone | met. She has
proven to be a true friend to all
that would let her So did her
Saviour, too. She has been a
true, great and good mother, and
to say the truth, her children
will and do rise and call her
blessed, and the last Of all, but
not the least. she has been
good and loving wife.
| will ask the reader to read
in Prov. 81, 1921. J. believe this
she was.
The funeral was held at their
home, and it was a rough day
for while, but the people were
glad to come through the cold
rain to be present to see the face
of this good woman once more
and a large numbercame. Three
talks were given, one by a man
who knew the family well, and
he spoke very highly for the
same. Many flowers were brot
as q token Of love.
], her pastor, and in behalf Of
our church, extend our sym
pathy to the entire family of the
deceased.
Farewell, great soul; we do
now miss thee, but glad the an
gels do now meet thee. Fare
well we have lost thee but
heaven has gained thee.
