in three weeks of this season one re-

Expressive Eyes.

A little incident that happened tne
other day impressed me so much
that I think it quite worth passing
on to some of my readers. I stopped
in. at the home of an OLD 1rieho
whose daughter had just returned
from a summer vacation and VINO
was about to go to another city TO
Atake up some social work. She nao
y been in college four years, ana, l
believe, graduated last June. When
] last saw her a couple of years ago
she was a complete nonentity, the
sort of girl that you meet again and
again and forget as soon as you are
away from her. She has nice enough
features. but a perfectly blank race
and absolutely characterless eyes.
1 puzzled for a long time about the
change IN her, wondering exactly
where this new prettiness came from.
The regular features were just the
same, the skin was just as pale ana
clear, but her face now was the race
that one remembers with pleasure
afterward Then I discovered that the
whole change was in her eyes, which.
instead of being blank. had become
animated and expressive AND TINS
small but important change made her

she had been a social blank.
do not know whether expressive
eyes can be consciously cultivated or
not. 1 am inclined to think they can
be, though there is always the dan

in any other case she would have to

peared in Italy pattern books, for
lacemaking in which a grea! variety
OF stitches are described and in par
ticular that called "punto in acre" or
point in the air." which is truly the
beginning Of point lace. The motifs
OF this lace were oleander blossoms,
elegant wreaths and scrolls, conven-
tional foliage of the acanthus type,

French took up lacemaking they
gave the names which we still use

them to the French lacemakers in

A design for point lace must differ
from iron an en- embroidery design because it

monious unity, balance of the open

fiexibility must all be remembered as
| basic principles in designs for point

which gives point lace it's peculiar

FOR SIMPLE PRAYERS.
(Marion Stac.)


In these days, when it is not uncommon to hear
minister praised because of his beautiful
prayers" by beautiful" being meant ornateness of
phraseology, it is refreshing and timely that
clergyman has seen fit declare that simple
prayers like that taught by the Founder of Chris
tianity, best.
Prayers hardly are fit subject for studied ora
tory. Those that come from the heart not infre-
quently are marked by unconscious eoquence. But
IL is the spirit OF Christianity that
should compose supplcations to the Almighty with
regard rather to what will think Of them than
how the Deity will view them. And it is to be
feared that il is the effect the congregation
rather than the effect God which is in the minds
OF the authors Of some of these elaborate prayers
against which warned. Moreover, the effect
OF such prayers the congregation is likely to be
other than what the minister intended for the very
completely OF the language may divert the listeners
thoughts from God TO the orator.
Christians have been counseled by the Supreme
Authority such matters not pray ostentatious-
~ as the hypocrtes do, that they may be of
men" but to address God in the simple, earnest
way in which a child would present a plea TO his
father. And il would that the advice was
intended TO apply TO public prayers well to
those spoken in the secrecy OF the closet
