Following the confirmation Bishop Milan spoke to the large class and impressed upon them the importance of the sacrament bestowed upon them.

REV. GEORGES BREACHES.

Rev. Edward A. George, who is taking the place of Dr. William Hor- ace Day while he is away overseas, spoke yesterday in the United church on '@The Need of the Soul"
 From every direction comes the complaint that there is lack of soul, Art feels it. Among modern artists there is no lack of technique" said MT. George, "but somehow in modern pictures there is little soul Music lacks soul.
 When religion fourishes, there is a soul in music. Great Glorias and Te Deums will peal forth, and the common people will sing because there is a melody in their souls. I doubt if even the comic opera can succeed without religion. The same Sir Arthur Sullivan who wrote the score of 'Pinafore' wrote also the stirring strains of Onward, Christian Soldiers It is Christ who sets the world asinging, and when adoration of Christ dies out of mems hearts, I doubt if they will long continue to sing even the ragtine ditties of the music halls.'

The New Clothes

Selecting veils is as important as the choosing of gowns. The right veil enhances a woman's beauty more than any other accessory of dress.
 The manner of wearing the veil, too, is important. French women spend a great deal of time adjusting their veils, and consider it time well spent.
 More types of veiIs are worn now than ever before. There is the eN- tremely abbreviated veil, which may be of malines and barely cover the eyes. Then there are huttertng wells of real lace. These appear even on tailored hats, and they may fall to the tip of the nose or in line with the chin. The picturesque type of woman should wear flowing veils her taiIor-made sister fastens this lacy face covering tightly under her chin and pins it in the back.
 There is as much diversity in the mesh and the shape of the new veils as there is in the rest of tOday's fash ions. There are square veils of OC- tagonal mesh with scroll and chenille dots, to be draped over small hats. Dressy YeiIs have point de Paris grounds, with wide scrolls through the center and woven borders. These have a name al. their own; they, are the Bo-Peep Yeils.
