Ta;ting B. one Of the crafts that can
be employed without requiring undi-
vided attention There is knsck IN
making the knots but once 1t is &C.
CURED there Is 50 much repetition that
Il becomes second nature to fashion
them The worksis one Of the daintiest,
yet il originated from knot tying Of a
vigorous and sturdy sort.
one ct the earliest necessities of
primitive workers was to know how to
fasten two lengths of strands together
50 that they would be one length. firm
and strong. When once this had been
learned. various types Of knots were
originated and many ways of using
them. Fishermen's nets are made by
knotting Eammocks are knot-tied
when made of twine or cord. II will be
seen that the character of knot-tied
wora5 goes from an extreme of heavy
work to another of delicate construc-
ton as found in tatting So exquisite
Is this work that it is a fsvorite TRIM

There Is also good use for coarser
tatting which Is excellent for edging
luncheon cloths and pillowcases. for
finishing hens of net and muslin cur
taias. for trimming covers Of cretonne
and of heavy linen for tables. etc. And
besides these lace edgings. tatting can
be done in fancy designs in more than
one color and in greater widths for

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday. August 81,

Fairly fortunate planetary influences

ogy The afternoon should be more
lucky than the morning.
There is an aspect read as unfavor-
able 10 stocks and to speculation OF
every sort. Money should be conserved
and invested wisely at this time.
The planetary government is not
good for beginning any new enterprise
Special preparation should be made be-
fore risking capital under this sway.
The configuration seems to indicate
that this period Is A bridge leading to a
future of tremendous prosperity. Trade
and commerce are well directed.
The evening Ia most promising for
theaters and places OF amusement.
Many distinguished visitors from all
parts OF the world are foreshadowed
for the next few months and many will
come from the Orient.

come under more suspicious sway
than that which rules them in the
morning. Bargains may be more wisely
made after nightfall.

1He LAW.
Be slow to invoke the law where
children are concerned The law is the
last resort of grown-up people, II they
can settle their affairs between them
selves they do so. and there are few
sensible people who do not understand
the wisdom OF that proceeding.
But II seems that IN each neighbor-
hood there are a few people whose first
gesture Is to call the police, invoke the
law, when child makes a mistake or
falls into error by force of circum-
stances. What possible good this can
do the adult Is beyond me. Usually 1t
does the child harm and places the
adult In a very unfavorable light in
the eyes OF the community.

A Sermon for Today
Second Beatitude.
RY REV. JOHN n. GUM.

Text. Blessed are they that mourn
for they shall be comforted Matt. VA.
The reference here Is not TO the com
mon sorrows and criefs OF life. These
may and often do have sanctifying
and blessed influence. But not always.
Probably AS many people are mace
worse by their sorrows AS are made
better by them. It is no unusual thing
to find people who have been made sui
len, hard. resentful and rebclliOus by
suffering and sorrow
All mourning Is not blessed. Isaiah
speaks Of mourning being turned into
the oil of joy" But we frequently
see mourning turned into dregs of
bitterness 1t Is only when our sor-
rowing and grieving serve 10 draw us
nearer to God that they become glorif1ed
into the mourning which is blessed.
No. the mourning referred to in this
beatitude is not the sorrowing occasioned
by losses, disappointments, sickness and
death, or any alteration of our out
ward circumstances. The Borrowing
meant here Is that which arises from
the contemplation Of our sinfulness and
unworthiness Contrition of heart be-
cause Of sin and conscious guilt. That
is the mourning upon which this beatt-
tude pronounces its benediction.
Other sorrows may or may not be
comforted. But this sorrow is sure Of
comfort, The comfort it desires Is that
which comes through cleansing and
forgiveness--a comfort never denied to
truly penitent souls. The Lord is
nigh unto them that are of broken
heart: and saveth such as be of con-
trite spirit"
Know thyself," is an old saying OF
the Greeks frequently quoted. Any
man who will follow out that saying
honestly and unfiinchingly. will find in
himself enough to break his heart and
make him a contrite soul But do not
draw back: for in this direction lies the
path into the kingdom of blessedness.
