THE MASTERS AND THE MEN.

Trade pantomimes is a variation Of
the Old game of "dumb crambo." The
players divide themselves into two
parties, called "the masters" and "the
men,
After consultation the men agree
upon some trade or occupation which
they are to illustrate in dumb show.
The masters must guess from their
motions what trade they have chosen,
and to help them in this they are told
the first and last letters of the word
describing it.
For instance, the men decide upon
the word gardener and, giving the
letters "g' and ''r,' they stand in line,
and each performs Il gardeners work
planting seeds. moving with Il
scythe. digging with Il spade, wedding,
watering, etc. Not word is spoken
and but one guess allowed to each
master If one guesses correctly the
men "lose their job Ii no one dis
covers the trade the word is told and
they proceed to act something else. If
the masters fail twice to guess the
word the men "strike' and 'quit
work" The masters then become the
men and must take their turn at panto-
mime.

STYLE SPARKS.

Three piece costumes were displayed
at many Of the spring openings. These
included usually coat suits of serge
and taffetas, gabardines and taffetas
and voile and taffetas combined in self
colors only.
The frock in one piece was the usual
arrangement, with a smartly cut drcssy
coat to match for Wear with the gown.
Sports suits are being made Of
tweeds, scrges and corduroys.
Favored styles are the gored circular
skirts of fairly heavy weight materials
with a coat designed along English
shooting coat lines. This offers an in
verted plait at the back and one each
side of the front portions. These plaits
extend to the waist line only, where
the coat finishes with smoothly fitted
circular cut peplum.
Patch pockets of large dimensions
are fashion features which distinguish
the styles of many of the latest suits
As many as four appear on coat
with skirts favored in like generosity
by the addition of two more.

THINGS TO DO AND NOT TO Do

A woman who is untidily or careless
ly dressed is quite as rude rs a man
without collar. lie would never
dream of going out without something
around his throat, vet she will appear
in public with divorce in the region
of the waist, a few buttons and hooks
missing, her hair bundled up anyhow
and her shoes down at the heel. Not
only is she exceedingly unattractive,
but she is being actually discourteous
to the folk who are obliged to look at
her.
1t is usually either nervousness or
thoughtlessness that prompts q woman
to display her worst side to the world.
She will take 4 seat that is offered to
her in Il crowded car without q word
Of thanks or else will make the chival-
rous person feel still more embarrassed
by a quick and emphatic refusal to
profit by his generosity.
Or perhaps she will rush through
swing doors without bothering to no.
tice if any one is likely to be caught in
the rebound, elbow people who are in
her way, walk on the wrong side of the
street or fail to remember that she
must always bow first to her male ac-
quaintances before they raise their
hats.
Consideration for others and desire
to be inconspicuous always mark the
we'll bred person in public 1t is Still
more important that in the home this
consideration should not be pushed
aside like an irksome duty. 1t is a
mistake to encourage Indifferent man.
ners toward those who are lived with
day after day. 1t is just as much trou'
bic to be rude as to be polite, and in
timacy in the home should not be made
the peg on which to hang countless
petty chickering's and little errors il

The Origin Of John Bull.

In March, 1912, there was published
in London Il satirical brochure dealing
with the events of the previous year
and bringing prominently into light
the doings of Spain, Louis XIV, Hol-
land and England, the last named
country being represented by John
Bull" The original OF the character
was John Bolingbroke. minister of
Queen Anne, who in the first edition
was spoken of as Lord Bullingbrook"
and John Bullingbrook" alternately,
the title of the brochure subsequently
becoming abbreviated to plain John
Bull" 1t was the production OF a
Scotch writer, DR.. John Arbuthnot,

To Keep Hands White.

The home worker can keep her hands
In nice condition if she' will exercise a
little care. When they have been
stained by vegetables or fruit the
stains should be removed with an acid,
lemon, vinegar or sour milk, ana then
rinsed in contact with soap or soapy
water. Always rinse off all soap be-
fore wiping the hands, and be sure
they are wiped perfectly dry.
At night rub in some good cream,
powder the hands and keep them in
loose gloves all night. The hands will
be as white and soft as though they
had never done a bit of houSewOrk.

is often supplied by credit. Jim made
up for its absence in assurance. He
bought a lot of damaged coffee on
credit for song, gave it a fancy name
and sold it for about twO-thirds the
usual price. This succeeded so well
that within few months he had turn
ed over several job lots of coffee that
he had bought cheap and not only
made some money, but established
trade for his especial brand of coffee.
1t occurred to Jim one day that his
quarrels with his wife had nearly all
been from the cause of want of sutti-
cient funds. Now that he was making
money possibly the troubles might not
arise; at any rate, they We're far less
likely to arise. He began to recall the
hours he and Lizzie had spent together
when they We're counting. He wonder
ed if she had tried to find him. Then
he thought what a brute he had been
to leave her without giving her any
opportunity to find him in case she
wished to do so. Then he wondered if
after all he hadn't a good deal of self
ish brutality in him to have tried to
impose his will on a woman and be-
cause she wouldn't brook it and had
left him he had made the break be-
tween them permanent by taking his
| departure from their home without Civ
| ing her an opportunity to find him and
| make it up.
The ladder Of repentance usually has
a number Of rounds, and Jim's had it's
full share. When he had reached the
! top round he felt like plunging down
headforemost ON the other side and
breaking his neck. But instead of that
he set about finding Lizzie.
That was no easy job. She had no
formation, and she was so distressed,
so poor, so broken in spirit. that she
shrank from every one who had known
her. When the baby came she secured
admission to a maternity hospital and
when the time approached for her tC
get about again, realizing that she
must work for her living and could not
work encumbered with a baby. she
determined to leave it at a foundings
home.
She was planning for this one day
when she saw the door of the room
she occupied at the hospital slowl,
open Then a face appeared, looking
cautiously in, as if fearing to disturb
, her.
, Great heavens! It was Jim's.
, The sight of his pale wife lying ther
with little sleeper nestled up agains
= her was too much for Jim's equanimi
/ ty. With tears coursing down hi
1 cheeks. he stalked to the bed and too
} his wife and child together in his arms
Neither Jim nor Lizzie had any fea
: of further disagreements. They woul

5 ger would take away their harshnesS
t or at least tide the parents over them.

y many deSertiOns on one side
or the other in couples that
have been married a year, and ! be
lieve that if statistics on the subject
could be obtained it would be found
that the nearer the wedding the great
er the number of desertiOnS. There is
a reason for this. Up to the time OF
marriage the parties are independent
of each other. After marriage there
are two wills. between which there
must necessarily be certain amount
of clashing.
Jim and Lizzie Burden were one OF
those couples that met, but did not
mingle. Jim found his wife-so he
considered her-so unreasonable that
he hadn't been married week before
the sweetness had turned to gall. Liz
zic considered herself so badly treated
that she could not possibly endure to
live with such n man. SO one day
when he came home from work he
found his wife gone.
! Mrs. Jim didn't regret what she had
! done till she fell in with Il motherly
old lady, to whom she told her story,
! and the lady informed her of the cause
Of their disagreement, as it has been
stated ut the beginning of this story.
Lizzie wondered if that was so. Then
she began to think that she had acted
unWiSply. The next thing to do was
to 90 back to her home and make up
with Jim. She did not find him. The
house was shut up, and Jim had gone
no one knew where.
When baby was born to Lizzie she
regretted more than ever her action in
leaving her husband. The first baby
is the first chain bound around mar
ried couple-the first departure from &
romance that may have waned anG
entry upon real married life. But now
that the baby had come and Jim was
not there to rejoice with her Lizzie
wcpt bitter tears.
Meanwhile Jim. after waiting a weel
for his wife's return, got angry witt
her and. declaring that he had ha'
enough Of married life, walked of
without leaving any address. Jim wa
q carpenter and had finished 4 job tn
day of the separation. 1t was easy TO
him to lose himself, and he took n
pains to leave any clew by which h
could be found by his wife in case sh
repented of leaving him and wished t
return. He knew nothing about til
baby or perhaps that might hay
changed it all.
Jim concluded to make anotht
| change in his life. He was a Dor
trader and always came out ahead
!. any deal he made He determined
} leave off carpentering and turn trade
r He had left the little money he po
t sessed with his wife and hadn't a cel
: to his name. But to the real bushes
! man money is not always essential.

For the Papers Younger Readers
AN INDOOR GAME.
Have You Ever Played the Game Of
Suggestions?


This is game which people either
like or dislike very much. The play
ers sit around the room or a table, and
one of them begins by naming an art
Gle of any kind whatever-for in
stance, a watering pot. The words
watering pot" will Immediately sug-
gest something to the next player-say
"gardener' He therefore says gar
lencr." The next may be reminded
by that word of Il bunch of violets she
saw the gardener carrying that morn
ing, and she says ''violets.' The next
one. remembering the wild vioets she
found at Ventnor in the spring. says
"Vcntnor." That name suggests the
seashore. and the next says "beach.'
When the game has gone on for sew
eral rounds it will be seen that the
minds OF the players have been car
riel miles away from the original wa
tering pot that started them.
1t is interesting now to trace the Sc
ries of suggestions back again to the
starting point. This is done by the
last player mentioning not the last
thing he thought of. but the thing that
suggested it to him. The retracing is
more difficult than the original sugges-
tions.
In this game two things are impor-
tant One is that silence be main
tanned: the other that the word you
give should be suggested to you only
by the previous players remark 1t is
more fun to be quite honest about II
and really say what was first suggest
ed instead of making choice.

s73,ooo,ooo For Missio nary Work.

$4,000, 900 For Missionary Work.
Nine of the ten big missionary So
cieties, representing fully 100000
reports for the fiscal year.
Churches in the wheat belts Of the
far west made large contributions DUR
ing the year and more than overbal-
anced the falling off Of contributions
from the south, where the low price of
cotton seriously affected gifts from
churches of all denominations. A con-
siderable slump was also found in New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
all of the New England states.
The statistics compiled in connection
with the financial reports show that
the American people, through their
churches, contribute $55,OOO,OOO year
to home missions and $1S,O0O,OOO to
foreign missions, in both amounts sur
passing England and Scotland togeth-
er, the two large missionary support
ing countries for Protestants, and
France, the missionary supporting
country for Catholics. It cost last year
to maintain all churches in this coun-
| try, including these mission funds,
S41O.OOO,OOO. and in this amount Amer
lea leads all other countries. Foreign
mission gifts have doubled in most re-
ligious bodies in America during the
last decade.
While many of the societies which
have worked in foreign fields have
been helping missionaries sent out by
Germany, to the end that their work
might not suffer because Of the Euro
pean war; it is said that this work has
not been looked upon as the cause for
deficits.
The most notable record was made
by the missionary societies Of the Bap-
tist church. which began the year
$4,000 in debt, an accumulation OF
seven years. Every dollar of this debt
was paid off, and one Of the home mis-
sionary societies ended the fiscal year
with balance of 800.
The foreign missions fell behind
S333 900 and the womens branch S1O,-
OOO AS result Cf so prosperous
year the retrenchment policy, which it
was feared the Baptists would have to
adopt, has been abandoned.
The figures of the Presbyterian home
board tell different story. The board,
which handles about $1,SOO,OOO yearly,
fell behind year ago S13S,OOO, the
first deficit in q number of years. Dur
ing the first six months $4,000 was
paid off by self denial campaign. but
, when the boards books were closed
for the fiscal year slump OF S2oS,ooo
was shown. This is said to be the
worst record in the history OF mission
+ ary finances in America if not in the
: world
, The home board of the Congregations
nj church ended it's work without debt
!. and the Presbyterian and Baptist So
!. cieties in the south made favorable re-
I ports, most of them without debt. The
: Episcopal society has started an emer
!. gency campaign in the hope OF raising
100000, but the indications are that
it will fall behind 100000 for the year
despite such efforts.
The enormous growth of work is
said to be the cause Of the falling OFT
of the Presbyterian boards, and it has
= been denied that internal conditions
: have in any way injured the work.

BE TRUE.

TNHOU must be true thyself
l. If thou the truth wouldst teach;
Thy soul must overflow if thou
Anothers soul wouldst reach!
It needs the overflow of heart
To give the lips full speech.
THINK truly, and thy thoughts
1 Shall the worlds famine feed;
Sneak truly, and each word of thine
Shall be fruitful seed;
Live truly, and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed.

ATHENS. Greece, May H.
Greece can only abandon her neu-
trality in the event that the inter.
ests of Hellenism as a whole may at
some future moment demand it. The
interests OF Hellenism as a whole
have been the one and only policy
of Greece to the present moment
This policy she will continue to the
end"
In these words, spoken In quick.
energetic English. King Constantine,
of Greece. outlined to me the atti-
tude Of his country regarding the
great war. He had received me in
his study In his palace which he oc-
cupied while crown prince, and
which he now retains by preference.
This palace is smaller than the main
royal palace and has a more home
like character and atmosphere
There he lives, surrounded by the
queen. sister of the kaiser, and their
six children, three princes and three
princesses--in perhaps the most do
nestle life that any European mon
arch enjoys. His majesty wore the
uniform OF a Greek general, and
his entire manner and conversation
was essentially that OF a military
man. At all times he displayed the
quickness Of thought and action
which won him wonderful reputa-
ton during the Balkan wars as the
greatest OF modern military strate-
gists.

crown" he continued, that Greece
could not accept the invitation OF

the future. and that was to act for
the best interests of Hellenism. The
moment was not opportune for
Greece to abandon her neutrality,
nor would her interests have been
best served by so doing at that time.

returned to power we will work to-
