in.
'You imagined it," teased Rita.
Alice stood by, an expression OF
naughty disapproval on her face.
Ruth turned to her remorsefully.
''This is fine way to greet you, ism

Alice's face was flushed resentfully
when she replied, and her manner to-

ever, ignored it cheerfully and went into
her own place with no apparent fear oi
any kind. She even refused to allow
Scott to come in with her. eff l don

little click that Ruth was certain she

she might be misiudging Rita for sus

Hat Etiuuette for Weddings

Dear Cynthia--As ] have to be
best man at wedding. | have decided
TO wear full dress suit with straw hat
and black tie. Please tell mo if it is
proper for me and for the bridegroom
to do 50; il not, tell me how it would
be the best? BILL.
If the wedding is to be after & O. clock
both the bridegroom and the best man
wear full dress suits with white bow
tics. not black ones. a high hat should
be worn. but if this is not available a
derby will do. Straw hats would not
be proper. If the wedding is before 6
o'clock cutaway coat with n black or
white waistcoat should be worn anG
gray trousers. A four in hand tie in
gray aud gray gloves should be worn. a
high hat is worn at an afternoon we'd
ding. too. but if yOu prefer wear your
straw hat to the church and leave il
where il wont bc seen.

few stitches around the top OF the
basket will tack the silk firmly in

piece of cardboard the size of the bot

of stocking and sew to the lower edge
of the bag. Attach this lining to the
basket.
To decorate the basket use vegetable
stains, green from spinach water,
pink or red from beets or any dye
left from staining a straw hat or
box of water or oil colors. If the

even make little whitewash out of a

that | judge that you are stranger in
TINS part of the country. Pray. will you
tell us more about the girls from where
you come? My dear, there might not
be such thing as pure friendship be-
tween a boy and girl, but there is such
a thing as sincerity. To gain such n
girl has to demand the respect of n
fellow and to let him know where he
gets OFF. BY that I mean that il she
wants to hold herself high in his honor
she will be sensible and able to take
interest in him, take him for what he
is and not for what he should be or
what she wants him to be. And she
must also remember that beauty is only
skin deep and underneath there is a
heart that might interest her some day.
Men are all right, but keep them in
their place.

Christianity differs from all the other
religions of the world. in that it rises or
falls with the character of it's founder.
All the great religious movements which
have the most profoundly Influenced hu-
n1anity. save Christianity and Moham-
mechanism. were already in the field and
had for centuries been molding men
when Jesus commenced His work as a
religious IA bbi with the two disciples of
John who had followed the carpenter of
Nazareth upon the recommendation OF
the Baptist. He introduced Jesus to
men as 'the Lamb of Gcd. that taketh
away the sin OF the world The Old
Testament supplied the background for
the forerunner's testimony to the mis-
sion of the Savior as the sin bearer. Its
symbolism refers to the substitutionary
suffering of the servant of Isaiah and
con only be understood in reference to
the Lords atoning work While it had
its meaning rooted in the sacrifices OF
the temple. it was also prophetic of His
death on the cross. 1t pointed to the
work of the Messiah, who bare our
sins in His body upon the tree.
While with the changes OF the centu
ries each generation has made a new IN
depreciation oil Christ because they have
discovered in Jesus constantly en!arging
values. yet throughout the transitions of
time He has remained the center OF
Christianity and the savior of men.
Never has the world recognized more
than it does today its need of salvation.
The dominating note in the aspirations
of men to restore the peace among all
nations has been inspired by the preach
ing of the Prophet of Nazareth. The
motive that has influenced men in the
