must Be about his Fathers business.
He is ready to pour as much zeal
into the cause Of Christ as he had
used against il. As the newest re-
cruit Of the cross he asks for his
marching orders. We have this com
mission as Paul related IL nearly
thirty years afterwards in his de-
tense before King Agrippa: ITO ap-
point thee a minister and a witness
both Of the things wherein thou has
seer me, and Of the things wherein
! will appear unto thee; delivering
thee from the people, and from the
gentiles, unto whom ! send thee"
Thus Paul was commissioned to be
the apostle 10 the gentiles, and to
this commission he gave himself for
the next thirty years with q zeal as
great as that which characterized
him as a prosecutor.
Paul Comforted.
"Man proposes but God disposes."
How rue this was OF Paul's entry
into Damascusc. He started out from
Jerusalem breathing out threaten
ings and slaughter against the dis
ciples OF the Lord" he describes his
entrance into Damascus in this fash
ion: when | could not see for the
glory OF that light. being led by the
mand of them that were with me, |
came into Damascus" In this state
Paul meditated for three days, striv-
ing to get his bearings in his new
spiritual life, when God sent him the
comforting ministry Of a devout dis
ciple named Ananias. to lay his hand
in benediction upon this one-time de-
vouring wolf Of the fold, and 10 say,
Brother Saul, receive thy sight.
Arise and be baptized, and wash
away thy sins, calling on the name
Of the Lord" Thus Paul, who ever
afterwards regarded himself as the
chief OF sinners because he had per-
secuted the church of God, found
that comfort and remission Of sins
in Jesus Christ, OF which years after
wards he wrote in our golden text,
Faithful Is the saying, and worthy
Of All acceptation. that Christ Jesus
came into the world "a save sinners,
Of whom I am chief"

Sally tried to speak, to interrupt
her, but she might as well have tried
to stop Niagara. Under the force of
the torrent Sally at last bowed her
head, shrinking against the wall OF
the car, the very picture of detected
guilt. The carnival owner gasped
and waved his arms helplessly, tried
to pat his wifes hands and had his
own slapped yiciously for his pains.
When at last Mrs. Bybee paused for
breath, and to mop her perspiring
face with her handkerchief, Bybee
managed to get in his defense, dog
gedly, his buster wilted under his
wife's tongue laShing:
You're crazy, Emma! I didn't
buy her any presents. I nevel saw
that dress before in my life. I don't
know what you or she's talking
about. 1 didn't buy her anything!
I-oh. good Lord" He tried TO put
his arms about his wife, his lace so
struttled with blood that Sally felt
faint wonder, through her misery,
that apoplexy did not strike him
down.
Whats the matter, Sally?" David
came Striding out of the kitchen, a
butcher knife in one hand and
slab of breakfast bacon in the other.
Il don't know, David" she whis-
pered forlornly. II was just
thanking Mrs. Bybee for this dress
and another one and trunk I
found in the dress tent with my
name on it-'PrinceSs Lalla'-" she
Stammered over the name-"and
Mrs. Bybec says she didn't give them
to me-"
HE thought he'd put something
over on me. and me all dressed up
like a missionary to go look Tor her
precious mother. 1 guess her
mother wasn't any better than she
should have been and this little soft
soap artist takes after her" Mrs. By
bee broke in stridently, but her
angry eyes lost something OF their
conviction under David'S level gaze.
Il bought the things for Sally, Mrs.
Bybee," he said quietly. L should
have told her, or put my card in.
Unfortunately didn't have one with
me-" he added with a boyish grin.
oh" Anger spurted out CT Mrs.
Bybee's jealous heart like air let
out of balloon. Reckon I'm just
an old FOOL God knows 1 don't see
why I should care what this old
woman-chaser of husband Of
mine does, butt do If you're
ever in love, Sally, you'll understand
a foolish old woman a little better.
Now young man, you take that
murderous looking knife and that
bacon back into the kitchen and
scramble a couple of eggs for me.

up at the thought. OF course they
were not mysterious! Pop and
Mrs. Bybee had provided them, out
of the infinite. kindness of their
hearts. Were they always SO kind to
the carnival'S new recruits? Graf

able young heart; overfloWed her
lips in song, as she dressed herself
in the little white wolfe, splashed
with tiny blue and yellow wild
| flowers.
Last nights breeze had brought
with it a light, cooling shower, and
still fingered under the hot caress OF
the June sun. Sally sang, at Eetty'S
request, as she sped across vacant
lots to the show train resting en-
gineless on spur track. At the
sound of her fresh, young voice,
caroling an old song of summer
time and love, David Nash thrust
his head out of the little high WIN
dow in the box of a kitchen at the
end of the dining car, and waved
an egg turner at her, lips and teeth
and eyes flashing gay greetings to
her.
Better tell your David how Nita's
been carrying on" the midget piped
from Sally's shoulder.
Song fled from SallY's throat and
heart. NO" she shook he head
She couldn't be a tattle-tale. If the
orphanage had taught her nothing
else it had taught her not to be a
tale-bearer. Besides, 10 talk of Nita
and her threats would make it
necessary to tell David all that Nita
had said, and at the thought Sallys
cheeks went scarlet. 1t might kill
his friendship for her to let him
know that others-apparently all the
carnival folk - had labeled that
friendship love" Why couldn't they
let her and David alone? Why
snatch up this beautiful thing, this
precious friendship, and maui it
about, sticking labels all over it I'M
til it was ruined?
She had placed the midget in her
own little high chair at her own par
ticular table in the privilege car and
was hurrying down the Car bound
for the cook tent and her own
breakfast when Winfield Bybee and
his wife entered. Mrs. Bybee was
dressed as if for a journey of i'm
portance.
Winfield Bybee doomed out a
greeting to Sally, fitting his head to
peer into her smiling blue eyes
"All dolled up and looking pretty
enough to eat" he chuckled. Amt
that new dress?"
"Oh, yes, and it fits perfectly"
Sally glowed. Thanks so very much
for the trunk and the dresses, Mrs.
Bybee," she added, taccfully address
ing the showman's wife. I'LL pay
you back out of my salary as make
it"
What are you talking about?"
Mrs. Bybee demanded sternly, her
eyes flashing from Sally's flushed
face to her husbands. Il never
bought you any dresses or a trunk.
Now, you looka here, Winfield By
pee! III u WOIIldI1 u lew WOlOo,
and of a long suffering disposition,
but even saint knows when she's
got stomachful! I swallowed your
mealy-mouthed palaverin' about this
poor little orphan, but if you're
sneaking around and buying her
presents behind my back, I'll turn
her right over to the State and not
lose a wink of sleep, and let me tell
you this Winfield Bybee-" Her
words were a rushing torrent, heated
to the boiling point by jealousy and
suspicion.

Sally watched them for a mo-

True to Life

No book is true to life, some think,
unless it teeters on the brink of trouble
and despair, unless it penetrates the
slums and pictures criminals and buns,
and outcasts living there. Produce a
book that's hard to read because it
makes your bosom bleed, and harrows
up your nerves, and some will say.
That book is great, and may the au-
thor celebrate the triumph he deserves
Its true to life" some people say,
about book that's bleak and gray, and
sordid and obscene; and they believe
that wise remark excuses fiction coarse
and dark, malevolent and mean. 1t
may be true to vermin life, to lust and
violence and strife, to life that gives
offenSe; but there are brands OF life
on earth which radiate a seemly mirth
and cheerful innocence. Produce a
book that treats of wights who spend
at home the pleasant nights, the days
in useful toll; the homely and good-na-
tured folk who speak the harmless quip
and joke, and shun the vulgar broil.
You write a book about the gent who
leads a life of calm content because
he's good and fair; he pays up all his
bills on time and salts away the use
full dime against the day of care. Such
books are true to life. I wot. but they
will fail to hit the spot. since useful
lives are tame; the book that's truly
true to life must deal in crime and
CRIME and strife and wade knee deep in
shame. Some critics jeer the kindly tale
in which the virtues white prevail as
being arrant tosh; they want to study
life" and so down to the Sordid slumS
they go, where bloodshed is aWash. o

Make a pint of lemon or other jelly
with one tablespoonful of gelatin, fol-
lowing the recipe that comes with the
package. Make boiled custard with
one pint of rich milk, three beaten eggs
and half a cupful of sugar and cook
until smooth and thick. Then stir in
the gelatin which has first been dissolv-
ed in one-fourth cupful of cold water
and then in half a cupful of boiling
water. Blend thoroughly. Remove from
the fire and stir in half cupful of can
died or preserved pineapple or peaches
and one teaspoonful of vanilla. If
peaches are used add little almond
paste or extract. Line mold about
half an inch thick with the jelly, then
place gum drops of different colors in
this to form a mosaic effect. Pour the
custard into the mold after the jelly
has set and the custard is cold. Cover
with whatever jelly is left. Carefully
remove from the mold when firm with
the gumdrop side up.

makers have lost their originality and
inventiveness. Buyers come home from
Paris-many of them-with the sigh
that there Is nothing new. In the
meantime we are welded to the straight
silhouette, at least for street wear, and
when anything really new is presented
we refuse it or wear it reluctantly. To
be sure. for evening and formal after
noon styles we are pursuaded to aban-
don the straight lines-but we are very
slow. indeed, to give up the straight
up-and-down lines for daytime.
Still there is much talk about the
new princess silhouette and occasionally
one sees a we'll dressed woman wearing
a coat or street frock of this sort. One
concludes that she has brought the
frock or coat from Paris. since very
few of them were bought by American
buyers for model purposes.
The princess silhouette is fairly close
fitting in the region of the waist, US
ually with some sort of flare below
the hips. This rather close following
of the lines of the body, combined with
an absence of belt or anything else to
break the continuity of lines of the
figure, makes up the combination of
characteristics which in the language
of dressmakers is called princess"

Home i'm Good Taste
BY SARA HILAND.

There is a simplicity about "criss-
cross" curtains which gives a house
a quantity charming atmosphere, and
this style Is especially attractive if no
overdraperieS are required.
There are many materials from which
these curtains may be fashioned, but
one important item to bear in mind is
that the fabric should be sheer. Do
not try to make this kind of curtain of
pongee or linen, for these would not be
appropriate.
A fine quality of net Is an excellent
choice for these curtains, and the edges
might be trimmed with narrow en-
Droidered net finished with scallops.
The net may be perfectly plain or
have embroidered dots, and if these are
cclored the edging should be embroid-
cred in shade to match the dot.
A very sheer French marquisette is
another excellent fabric for criss-cross
curtains, and the edges of these may be
finished with narrow frills of the same.
White organdy will always remain a
favorite of ruffied or frilled curtains,
and it lends itself especially to the crisis
cross type.
If plain. straight valance of chintz
is used at the top of these curtains, the

Women are we'll directed by the stars

Love affairs. however, are decidedly

Discussions and quarrelS may be nu-

Divorces will continue to multiply

London astrologers forecast for next
month startling news of foreign war

Saturn is supposed to involve Eng

about amazing governmental conditions.
All the signs appear to presage for
the United States continued prosperity
and remarkable strides in commerce.
Art is to become a national concern
| and there will be much encouragement
for painters, sculptors and musicians.
The theater is to attain to civic
interest that in time will assure splen-

The stars that encouraged the pres

Persons whose birth date is tomorrow
