In view of the fact that the Alma
Presbyterian church has adopted Rev.
V. X. Beshgetoor as its Home Mis-
sionary, The Record has secured from
him the following general information
of the work under his care in the Up
per Peninsula.
Mr.. Beshgetoor went to this field
last November, his headquarters be
ing at Engadine, a town of some
three hundred people. Fifty six miles
west of st. Ignace, on the 500 line
and the second largest town in Mack
mae County. The Presbyterian church
has been the only church in this town
for years, until last year, when the
Methodists put up small church.
Shortly after Mr. Beshgetoor's arrl-
val there. bell was hung in the bel
fry and rung on Christmas day for
the first time, being the first church
bell ever heard in town. He soon
gathered the boys together and organ

partment was established through
which over one hundred varieties of
helpful publications were put into cir
culation and this work is still in pro-
gress like an endless chain. Also

"hare and Hound" Ancients.

The modern boy who may be familiar
with hare and hounds may like to
know that it has been played by other
boys since the middle ages, and that
there are different ways of playing it.
1t was played in old England and in
Wales as follows: One boy was chosen
for the hare. He started out over the
fields and through woodlands a few
moments In advance of his comrades,
who were to act as hounds and pursue
him. The hare carried a bag filed with
bits of paper or sometimes grains OF
corn. These he scattered to indicate
the route he took. He could circle
and maneuver to deceive and mislead
his pursuers. but must drop his track
signs. The hounds tried to follow and
catch him before he got 'home," which
was a place agreed upon beforehand.

A Pitch Penny Game.

Procure a square board and mark off
from twelve to twenty-five squares on
1t. Within these small divisions place
numbers ranging anywhere between 8
and 1000. These numbers should not
be placed regularly, but they should be
contrasted so that the smallest values
will be next the highest. Thus the
first row of squares could be marked
500, g, 80, %. and so on with all the
rows. The players stand a fixed dis
lance from the board and throw q cent
and make their count according to the
number in the square the penny hits.
If it is not entirely within the square
nothing is counted. The players should
fix upon some sum beforehand as the
game, as 1000 or 1900. When the
company is large the players may be
divided into sides, which are pitted
against each other.

There came a time when l believed

Among the many attractive ideas
featured is the clever combination Of
fillet net and lace with organdie. In
some of the most striking novelties the
fillet net is inserted in scalloped shape
outlined with embroidery. The effect
thus accomplished is exceedingly dain-

l could not quite bring myself to

cipher any Of them. Indeed, / had not

above asking me what 1t was for, SO l
told him that 1t was for a friend who
was about to be married. adding that
l could mo- name the person since the
engagement was a secret.
The reason why l counted on Jim's
coming marriage was that 1t is difficult
IL not impossible for two men to live

Jim never told me Of his engagement
till a couple of weeks before the we'd

fair except such as influences young

syncrasy. The girls parents were
much pleased with the match, and
Jim's parents were not living. Jim
probably would have kept the secret

that he should give me timely notice.

Most women prefer a skirt that closes
at the front or the side. Yet the back
closings have made their way into the
fashion. and it seems as II the only
thing to do was to accept them.
The long WASTED basque dress was
responsible in part for this change, and

neck In front. has also helped to bring
about the changing tendency. And
all this simply goes to show that our
liking for the front closing is no deep

Of fashion, for IL is a liking that will
give way to changing styles.
OF course one difficulty Of the back
closing with styles in their present

SEPARATE SKIRTS.
New Plated Models Divide ave With
Those Having the Hip Yoke.

Among the separate skirts are seen
plated models, fastened down with
tape or elastic, but full around h an
kles. Plated tunic skirts show clus-
tiers Of plaits starting from yokes, clus-
tiers OF plaits with panels between, etc.
In many cases fullness Is produced by
the Introduction OF small kick pleats
on the underskirt, which are pressed
down and only show when the wearer
Is in motion.
Sometimes two fabrics are employed.
the tunic being of serge or gabardine
and the underskirt Of satin or messa-
line. Sometimes the underskirt is In
Roman stripes, while the tunic is of a
plain material or vice versa. Checks
or plaids with plain fabric are also
used.
Simple tailored skirts with yokes are
made up In various fabrics. The
fiounced skirt is among the dressy
styles. and a skirt with a deep circu-
lar fiounce starting nj the knees is a
new idea. The latest of all is the cir
cular skirt, which Is sometimes trim
med with velvet or satin ribbon, Civ
Ing the effect of a TERED skirt.
