The dominant factor in this i'm

that night .Reddy trotted down from
the Old Pasture and straight over
toward that part of the Green
Meadows where the hunter had been
when Farmer Browns boy drove him
away. Then. just as the hunters dog
had done that morning, Reddy began
to go carefully over the ground. back
and forth, so as to cover every bit
of it. For long time he found no
trace of the Bob Whites. Then he
came to little clump of weeds and
at once his keen nose caught the Bob
White scent. Slowly, carefully, a
step at a time. Reddy crept forward
ready to spring at the first sign of
movement. As he got nearer, his
nose told him that the scent was not
strong enough to come from a Bob
White. 1t told him that a Bob White
had been there very recently, but
was there no longer.
He carefully looked into the clump
of weeds and his eyes and his nose
told him just what had happened.
"One of those Bob Whites was
wounded" said Reddy to himself as
he found a little spot of blood. He
was wounded badly and he was hid
den in this clump of weeds all day.
Mrs. Bob White has been with him.
Now they have gone. They didn't fly
because here is their scent. Probably
that young Bob White can't fly"
Reddy's eyes frightened at the
thought and he began to follow with
that wonderful nose of his the scent
left by the young Bob White and
Mrs. Bob.

Their clay wasn't a bit better than

Human Membership.
For we are members one of another

For We are members one of another.
-Eph. 4:25.
Life is just the process of discovering
our relationships. While they increase.
we grow. When they diminish. we
shrink, There is no death except for
those who shut themselves up and out.
In the progress Of personality, first
comes declaration of independence,
then a recognition of interdependence.
1t is a pity that men should be divided
by their pleasures more than by their
work.
We have a, word in English for suffer-
ing together-sympathy But where is
the word in our language for rejoicing
together?
Does this verbal lack mean that we
need companionship in sorrow more
than in joy? l think not. 1t seems to
me more likely that 1t is an evidence
of the old superstition of our race that
grief is holier than gladness, and that
mourning is a duty while joy is only an
indulgence.
This notion is all wrong-contrary to
Christianity. St. Paul tells us to re
toice with them that rejoice, and weep
with them that weep"
He translates human membership in
terms of companionship-a sharing of
everything in life's journey.

BRIDAL GOWN OF SATIN CREPE
ELABORATELY FLOUNCED IN
SILVER LACE

THE autumn bride occupies the
center of fashions stage at
present. and the shops are
filled with fads and fanCies to
lure her eye. There have been many
delightful innovations in bridal ap-
parel since last June, and the trend
seems to be toward more elaboration
of trimming, and away from the de-
mure, simple wedding gown. Impos-
ing Russian jeweled headdresses are
favored. rather than bridal wreaths
of orange blossoms or lilies of the

replaced by an elaborate corsage
added, as trimming. to the gown it
self and the long sweeping train is
frequently omitted. for it has no place
on the quaint, bouffant picture frocks
which are in vogue.
The wedding gown Sketched is of
soft, iyory-white satin crepe, lavishly
trimmed with sparkling silver lace
It is fashioned with a tight fitting
little basque bodice, sleeveless and
N-necked, and a voluminous crino-
line skirt, wired out at each hip, and
fiaring even more at the ripping
hemline.
Perhaps the most distinctive of all
the interesting features of the model
Is the collar of silver lace. wired to
