Beading Is Combined
With Ribbon on Frocks

On the tide of the demand for ribbon
trimming has come a like demand for
beading, since a charming embroidery
effect can be attained by its use ON
dainty frocks without the actual bother
OF doing the embroidery. This Is espe-
cially popular for children's dresses.
Rows of beading may encircle the skirt
and yoke. Through this beading mar
row ribbons are run, tying Ii miniature
bows at odd places. Several pastel
shades are used effectively on light
frocks, while black velvet ribbon is an
propriate for any kind Of dress.

Adaptations of Home
Electric Light Shade

The shade or globe that covers an
electric or even a gas light when re-
placed by q newer design can be
used as a flower holder. Merely in
vert the shade and place a tumbler
in the middle actually TO hold the flow
ers or ferns. The bowl has an at
tracive shape. If the shade is made Of
frosted glass it can be decorated with
water-color paint. Little flowers
grouped in dots, each dot composed Of
one color such as pink and blue and
mauve, give a dainty decoration in
such a receptacle.

Earrings Large.

The struggle for. mastery between
hoop earrings and pendants still goes
merrily on. One style is as fashion
able as the other. The prime neces-

or material, the earrings must be as
large as the face can bear.

Decorate Your Rooms
With Laurel Branches

Everyone realizes the great decora-

much their presence adds TO the charm
Of a room. Unfortunately, observes a
writer in the Portland OregOnian, at
certain times Of the year, cut flowers
are expensive and do not last long.

LininGs Match Costume.

One of the smartest things you can
do this season is to line your cape or

This is particularly effective if the

laurel. The green Of the laurel leaves
is of a virtually neutral hue and will
look well with any surroundings or

Placed on a table before a mirror, or

REVIVAL ENDS SUNDAY.

The revival conducted at the Travis
Park Methodist Church by DIR. l.. j.
Miller, general evangelist of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, will
conclude with the services Sunday
evening. Although hampered by the
inclement weather during the three
weeks that DR.. Miller has been in San
Antonio, yet the progress of the re-
vival has been reported as satisfac-
tory.
Large crowds of church members
from all denominations have been at
tending the morning services at which
DR.. Miller has been delivering a series
OF sermons on the general theme of
The Deepening of the Spiritual
Life"
DIR. Miller advocates a simple re-
hgion, free from all pomp and osten-
tation. He believes that the remedy
for the ills of the present day is for
the world to return to religion Of sim
plicity and cild-like faith. There is
efficiency in simplicity, DR.. Miller
contends.
The revival has been characterized
by an absence of sensationalism.

LAY CORNERSTONE SUNDAY.

The cornerstone for the new $685.
600 synagogue to be erected by the
Agudath Achim congregation at Main
avenue and Quincy street, will be laid
with imposing ceremonies at 3 80
O'Clock Sunday afternoon. The new
synagogue follows the Moorish style
OF architecture and will be constructed
of brick. The building will have a
seating capacity of about $50 persons.
The Agudsth Achim congregation
has had life of about 80 years in
San Antonio and during that time has
had a very satisfactory growth. When
the congregation was first organized
there were only sixteen members,
while the membership at present runs
close to 200.
The congregation is managed by a
board of twelve trustees as follows:
Morris Alderman, president; Max
Rosenman, vice president; NJ. Schar.
lack, treasurer; j. Tobias, Jake Karot-
kin, Ben Katz, Max Goot, Ben VIE
derman, Ben Adler, A. Glassberg,
Charles NJ. Lee and s. Newding. DR..

cation and D. Kanter is cantor.

WILL ENLARGE CHURCH.

In order to relieve congested con-
ditions existing at the First Presby-
terrain Church, an enlargement of the
main church building at an expense
of approximately $4,000, is being
contemplated, according to the pas
tor, DR.. p. B. Hill. The main church
building lacks sufficient space to &C.
commodate the growing attendance.
Since the energy and attention OF
the church is now directed almost ex-
slusively toward the construction of
the young peoples building, plans for
the enlargement of the main church
building have not as yet assumed a
tangible shape. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the rear of the building
will be extended and remodeled to
provide seating room for an addi-
tional $50 persons.
The congregation of the church now
numbers approximately 1900,

An ordinance which would compel
street cars to stop long enough to
allow automobiles, trailing them, to
pass is the suggestion of William Den
iger who insists that the time has
passed when street car travel is of
first importance.
More people travel the downtown
streets by automobile now than by
street cars and some consideration
should be shown the majority" said
Mr.. Deniger. "As conditions are now
il an automobile is behind a street car
on Houston street or some of the side
streets it must stop at each corner
where the street car takes on or dis
charges passengers and has no op-
portunity TO pass. This slows up traf-

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

No government can exist that does
not recognize property rights and
hence Socialism in its commonly &C.
cepted meaning can not be a remedy
for industrial ills, according TO. Alva
W. Taylor, secretary Of the Board of
Temperance and Social Welfare, rep
resenting the Christian Church in the
Federal Council of Churches. DIR.
Taylor was one of the four represen-
tatives of the Federal Council of
Churches who was in San Antonio
Wednesday and Thursday of last
week, in the course of a tour of the
South. The purpose of the tour was
to hold conferences in several large
centers to discuss Christian principles
applicable TO industry.
To defeat the radical element of
society and at the same time to dis
cover the remedy for industrial ills,
the cause of the industrial unrest
should be eliminated. This may be
done, DIR. Taylor believes, by remov-
ing the feeling of injustice. A citizen
ship trained in sociology will be able

INSTALL A PASTOR.

At an impressive service held at
the West End Presbyterian Church,
Zarzamora and Waverly avenue,
Thursday evening, the Rev. ID. III.
Kirkpatrick was installed as pastor
of the West End congregation. The
ceremonies were in charge of the Rev.

the Austin Presbytery. r-
Mr.. kirkpatrick has been occupying
the pulpit of that church for the last
year as a supply pastor, but was not
regularly installed as the pastor. As
token of appreciation of his ser
vices, the members of the congregation
presented the pastor with a bouquet
at the conclusion of the ceremony.
Mr.. Hubbard propounded the con-
stitutional questions bringing out the
proper relations between and the rec
ognized obligations of pastor and con-
gregation. DIR. A. II. Brand, pastor
of Madison Square Presbyterian
Church, delivered the charge to the
pastor, and Mr.. Hubbard delivered the
charge to the people. DR.. X. II. Rog-

service of the federal council Of

fore the union men of the city at the

If myriads of these little air cells had not
been whipped in the mixture, ice cream
would freeze like a solid block of ice. 1t
would be neither practical to eat, nor
palatable.
Therefore, air is necessarily part of ice
cream made the ordinary way. No matter
how pure the cream, milk, sugar, flavors and
fruit-the presence of ordinary air must be
considered. If it is impure, everything is
impure.
Isn't that what it amounts to?
