There are two methods in vogue in
darning, one in which the background

another in which the design Is darned
and is later further emphasized by
heavy outlining in black. In the lat

by having the darning follow the axis
of the leaf or petal, if conventional

1t is a simple matter and perfectly
legitimate to abstract a motif from
rug or print and apply 1t to latter
day fancy work. A bit of tissue paper
first and impression paper afterward will
be all needed to transfer it i'm an allover
design or in a conventionalized border
to the article under consideration. The

is to apply the motif accurately, so for

! With BILLY" Sunday sixteen miles from
Broadway. It is said by those who are
in position to judge of the spiritual
condition of the great Metropolis that
New York is on the verge of a great
religious awakening.
II this is a fact. it is of infinite concern
to the business world Here. then. the
Wall Street Journal tells us. is move
ment which renders investigation COM
mites unnecessary. which brings en-
ployer and employed together on the COM
mon platform of the love and fear OF
God. Perhaps nine-tenths of the evils
from which We suffer are beyond the
reach of statutory law. But they are all
susceptible to amendment by conscience
through the mercy of God.
In the ethics OF many business houses.
there are two brands of honesty: the one.
very elastic in its application. marked
for business purposes" the other.
which has none OF the pliable elastic
quality. being reserved for home and So
cial use. The business man and the man
in private life often seem to be two dis
tinct entities Governing themselves by
this double standard OF honesty. men do
not hesitate. in business transactions. to
resort to methods which. in private or
social relations. they would condemn as
tricky" dishonest" or immoral"
But il they are troubled by any qualms
or misgivings in regard to their CONNER
Cial rectitude, or the morality of any
particular act, all questioning is set at
rest by the formula: 1T is customary.
Every one does it, Yet the Good Book
says. Go not with the multitude to do
evil"
Many business men would gladly use
only the home brand of honesty if they
thought II practicable. But because the
double standard is so generally recoe-
nized as legitimate. as the only smart"
way of doing business. they are fearful
that their interests will suffer. that COM
petitors will get ahead of them II they
take for their sole standard the motto.
Honesty is the best policy" Although
in theory they advocate the Golden
Rule. they have not the moral stamina
to put il in practice.
These men do not realize that any ma
terial gains purchased by a compromise
with conscience. by sharp practice with
their neighbors, will turn to Dead Sea
fruit In their grasp. They do not realize
that the man who does not take honesty
as his working partner in business. no
matter how much money or property he
may amass. how many colleges or insti-
buttons he may endow, will never be
anything but failure.
