THE COMING MISSION
 AT TRINITY CHURCH

Discussing the services to be held atg Trinity Episcopal church next week bysArchdeacon Webber, Rector H.. A. Stowell says: r&
 Because of a similarity in the words some people have the impress sion that the services to be held in Trinity church next week are of a missionary character and that the cause of missions is to be specifically advocated. Such is not the case. ,
 "The term mission has been long applied to series of connected ser vices held by trained worker in a given parish for the purpose of quick ening the spiritual activity of it's members and in the hope of gaining additions to the parish. A mission is similar to but not identical with what the various Protestant bodies call revival. He who conducts . mission is called a missioner.
 "Archdeacon Webber, who is to of ficiate at Trinity, is one of the most versatile and eloquent missioners in America. The parish is very fortn- nate in securing him and the people of this city are offered an intellectual as welll as spiritual feast"

New. York, Jan. 12.-Clinton B. Smith "a young lawyer and, son ot Judge Clinton Smith of Brooklyn realizes the value of publicity. Just now he wishes he had not courted publicity, and most of all that he had not attempted to perpetrate Leap Year joke on 30 of his girl friends. As a result several hundred girls arf making an attempt to lead him to the marriage altar.
 MT. Smith, who is 32 six feet tall and good looking, sent out thirty cards, bearing the following descrip- ton, neatly engraved, as joke: <
 "1916 being Leap Year, MT. Clinton B. Smith wishes to announce that he is still a bachelor. IN. B.-His antique mahogany fur- niture goes with him." z
 Che of the girls who received a card gave it to a newspaper report CT and then-Mr. Smith is now dodg- ing women every moment of his walk ing day The telephone in his office is kept busy by inquiring maids, most of whom wish to know if the antique furniture is genuine. Twenty accept ances have been received and only one refusal.
 Il sent those cards out ass.a joke, y said MT. Smith in &his office s'between periods of answering the ever ringing telephone. q don't think any of the girls to whom I sent the cards took the joke seriously, but since the story has gotten into the newspapers, 1t is no longer joke to me. The laugh is one me now"
 MT. Smith condescended to describe his ideal. She should have blue eyes, curly dark hair. sense of humor and should be college girl but not "too educated" She should also be fond of animals and children-and antique furniture.
 Whoever gets the furniture will have to take me, too," wearily cons cluded the young lawyer.

Use Cocoanut Oil
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali., This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease less), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for. shampooing, as this can't pos- sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily. and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf end excessive oil. The .hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. :"
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap. and a few ounces; is enough to last everyone insthe family for months,
