DLBSS their hearts! They
spend thirty million dollars
for makeup. each and
every year, do those Methodist
women!
One of them. high in the
Missionary Society. has figured
1t all out. She says their powder
and their finishing cream to
make the powder stay on and
their cleansing cream to make 1t
come off. and a dash Of rouge
and a touch Of lip-stick and a
bit Of brow penciling and all the
rest Of their aids to beauty cost
them just this enormous sum.
And she says It is all wrong.
for she declares 1t ten times as
much money as they put into
mission work. and she seems to
believe 1t sinful, or something
like that.
l wonder. Is II ever wrong
for any woman to make the most
of what beauty she has? After
all. the mission fields are 50
very far away and her face is
always where she Is, and isn't
1t possible she helps to serve God
by trying to keep 1t attractive?
I know a lady and she is a
splendid woman. She gets up
early Of Sunday morning and
bathes her little daughter and
does her long, fluffy hair in two
tight braids without any nonsense
of curls or hair ribbons lest the
little daughter become vain. She
puts a plain. little sailor on her
head and sends her to Sunday
school. where little daughter sits
like a sparrow in a company Of
canary birds.
And Little Daughter is growing
sullen. and one day she whispered
to me that as soon as she grows

; up she never. never will go to
church any more!
And this lady draws back her
own pretty hair in a tight knot
and sets her hat on 1t any old
way. for she doesn't hold with
too much mirror gazing. And
her face is red and shiny from
bending over the stove to cook
the most excellent meals she pro-
vides for her family every day.
But she scorns a touch of powder
She goes to church in time to
teach her Sunday School class,
and afterward she sings In the
choir in her sweet. gentle voice.
In the evening she goes to church
again. and second time on
Wednesday. And such time as
she can spare from her house
hold throughout the days, she
gives to visiting the poor and
the Ill.
But for some reason or other
her kindly effort doesn't Justify
the time she puts into it, She
Is ministering angel IL ever
one lived, but she doesn't look
like one! You sort Of don't ex.
pect a ministering angels nose
to shine or her face to be vel
lowish or her clothes to be so
unbecoming. You just can't help
thinking about the atrocious fit
of her blouse instead Of the beaL-
tiful things she Is saying!
And there Is another lady I
know who goes to Sunday School
and to church as well, In the
morning only. She laughingly de-
clares that her beauty expert re-
quires her Wednesday afternoons
and when she finishes with mas.
sages and shampoos and so on
she Is much too tired to think Of
any prayer excepting Now I lay
me-"
But the little daughters Of her
Sunday School struggle and, yes
they do. sometimes quarrel to get
into the pretty lady's" class.
And when folks are sick they
send for her Just to look at"
She Is one Of the number that
Is swelling that thirty million.
But wonder II her money 10

~JGGESTIONS from high off,

~ ment that urgent municipal
needs Of the District should be met
by a local bond issue Of $20, 900 900,
ought to receive the careful con-
sideration of Congress while tho
District appropriation bill for the
next fiscal year is being framed in
that body.
1t is apparent to all that the next
appropriation bill. IL the House
Appropriations Committee has it's
way, will contain just sufficient
money to keep the different mu-
nicipal activities alive. There will
be little or nothing to care for the
shortcomings of the last five
years
To restore the public schools
to something like the American
standard for large cities and put
them In shape for proper edu-
cation;
To pave and repair streets and
roadwsys that are far behind
schedule;
To provide for extension Of
sewers into rapidly growing sub
urban sections:
To add TO the chain Of public
parks;
And to meet many other needs.
II the Senate attempts to add
to the District appropriation bill
as It comes from the House, and
as recommended by the director OF
the budget, there will be the same
old fight in conference, and the
Senate will doubtless yield to pre-
vent failure Of passage Of the bill.
A Bond Issues Helpfulness.
In view Of the House attitude
which, II insisted upon to the end.
will mean that the glaring de-
fects of our public schools will go
uncorrected for an indefinite time.
the practical phases Of a District
bond issue might appeal to Con-
gress, which would authorize the
issue for purposes Of giving the
schools what they need. making
streets and roadways as good as
they are elsewhere. furnishing
the money for sewer and other
improvements.
A $4,000. 900 bond issue. backed
by the Federal Government. could
be quickly marketed at par IL
the interest rate were about the
same as that on issues Of Victory
bonds. That Is, the rate of inter-
est would not exceed Az per cent
at the outside. The yearly in
terest charge to the District gov
ernment would not exceed $780,
600. The comparatively small in
terest burden could be met from
District revenues, probably with
out additional taxes, and the bur-
den Of retiring the bonds, which
would doubtless run for twenty
or thirty years, would fall upon
future generations of taxpayers.
On a sixty.forty basis, the inter
est charges to be met out Of Dis.
trict revenues would be but $540..

Insular Bond Issues.
From time to time, in recent
years. Congress has authorized
issues Of bonds by the Porto

in the bonded debt of the Philip
pines, obligations to be paid by
future generations, the money
