GIRLS SEEK QUIET.

There can be no doubting the de- sire of girls for excitement and places where there are things going on.'' It Is quite natural and quite to be sympathized with.
 There are 119S girls, however, who inquired of the Vacation Bureau of one of the branches of the Young woman's Christian Association in New York city for accommodations for vacations or week-ends in the country. Many wanted to camp out: all wanted to go where there was nothing doing"
 Moreover frequently the remark is made by some young woman that she would like to spend the summer on a farm and never see n movie" the advertisement of one, nor any simi- lar thing. How such girls would en- joy the farm after about two weeks is an entirely different matter.
 Ii is true. nevertheless, that there are innumerable people who want to spend a part, at least. of the sum- mer where things are quiet. Sea and

Sound bathing is a great attraction of couse, and there are many places which will fill the bill of quiet and water But they are not known and have to be sought out personally.
 The point is that there are signs of a change in the mental desires of our young women. Certainly it has been an era of gay lights, and certainly the time will come when those lights will dim ard the natural, softer one take their places. The question is has that time come?
 While sympathizing entirely with the desire for gaiety, one can but feel that a vacation spent in more natural. restful spot than a popular resort would be more conducive to fine things in woman than the habits of the recent past.

NOVEL HOUSES OF WORSHIP
of Sealskns and Another EN-
ployed Only Snow.

One of the queerest churches ever
known was built by a missionary on
Blackhead island, in Cumberland
sound Finding that the Eskimos had
no place in which they could meet
for religious services the missionary
started to build a church Of the skins
of seals, no wood being available The
skins were sewn together and
stretched over "girders" of whalebone,
empty provision tins serving as seats
The cold at one time became so
severe that for many days the Eski-
mos of Blacklead island were unable
to procure food for themselves or for
their animals. One night dogs made
their way to the strange church edi-
fee and began consuming it. with the
result that when morning came there
was not skin left, the whalebone
ribs alone remaining to show that
there had ever been a church.
Another missionary in charge of the
spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe,
built his church entirely of snow.
Seat, pulpit altar and interior equip
ment were made of snow, and in the
matter of warmth no stone-buiIt
church could beat it.
