NV old porpoise of a grand uncle
Rumeudgeon was sitting with his feet
on the mantelpiece as opened tne
drawing-room door.
IT am sure. nv dearest uncle" said,
all the time thinking him confoundeo
old rascal, that you have no oesigll

"Exact time is what you want, IS IL!
All ripht-let me see, todays Sunday
well. then. you shall be married pre-
ciseiy when three Sundays come TO-
gether in a week."
Uncle thought he had me there. In
deed. I thought so myself, and was cast
into a fit of gloom because OF 1t. But
the fates ordered it that among the
naval acuuaintances Of my betrothed
were two gentlemen who had just set
foot in England after years absence
each in foreign travel. Together with
these gentlemen. Kate and I prear-
ranged to meet with my uncle on Sun
day afternoon, three weeks after the
day when my bright hopes had been
so cruelty shattered.
We saw to it that the conversation
finally got around to the topic which
we wished most of all to discuss. Both
nayigators had been absent an exact
year each, really most fortunate COIN
cidence, as they themselves remarked
in bringing up the subject. 1t was
further brought out that one went
around by Cape Horn, the other by
Cape of Good Hope. That is, one went
east and the other went west. both
completely going around the earth.
"Capt, Pratt" I said, you must
come and spend the evening with us
tomorrow-you and Smitherton--you
can tell us about your voyage and we
can have a game of whist, and"
whist, my dear fellow" exclaimed
Pratt. "You forget. Tomorrow Is
Sunday"
"Today's Sunday" interposed Kate.
ITO be sure" said my uncle. Don't
know that today is Sunday"
What are you all talking about?'
said Capt Smitherton at this point.
Wasn't yesterday Sunday,.I should like
to know"
The argument waxed warm until
Kate offered an explanation. II see

a certain Jest. Capt. Smitherton says
that yesterday was Sunday; so 1t was,
he Is right. Bobby and his uncle and
I say that today is Sunday: so it is: we
are right. Capt. Pratt maintains that
tomorrow is Sunday; so it will be; he is
right also. The fact is. we are all
right, and so three Sundays have come
together In one week."

Fashions Favor Slender Women
BY MARY MARSHALL.

venture for the fat woman. The bolero
is always associated with the coStumery
of Spain-and Spanish women can
usually wear them to perfection because
Spanish women are notably slender.
Sleeveless frocks ought also to be
avoided by the woman who is broad OF
hin. because shoulders are cut quite
narrow nowadays and the gown from
shoulder to hips presents a f1aring line
that emphasizes the hip breadth. For
the woman whose hips are wide in pro-
portion to the shoulders the frock with
out sleeves is much more becoming II
there is some sort of shoulder drapery
to give width above. II our plump
friend whose back view Is shown in the
sketch took off her cocktail jacket and
put on instead a deep lace collar that
extended over the shoulders and in an
oval line part way down the back, she
would look ever SO much better.
This weeks help for the home dress
maker consists of q pattern for cross
stitched chicken, the design used for
centuries by the expert needlewomen
in Assist. Italy, to decorate children's
frocks and table linen. 1t is not at all
difficult as the quaint outlines of the
chicken are worked out entirely by the
arrangement of the cross-stitches and
the black outlining that goes about
them.
I am sure you will find this useful
in ornamenting chid's frock, some
lunch clothes or bridge sets or as an
original ornament for a new jumper
blouse for yourself. And remember that

Respectable Philistines.

Text: And the Philistines put
themselves in array against Israel; and
when they joined battle. Israel was
smitten before the Philistines."-1
Samuel iv.2.
Israel was all the time being smitten
before the Philistines. The Philistines
gave them more trouble than all the
other Canaanite breeds put together
the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite,
the Jebusite. These were tribesnen
tine. The PhilistineS were the high
brows of the land. It was from them
that Palestine took its name, for PaleS-
tine is the Greek for Philistia.
Yes. I know we have been accus-
toned to thinking of them as also only
rough tribesmen. But now Palestine
historians tell us that they possessed a
high order Of culture, ct least accord
ing to the standards of their time.
Some scholars believe that to them We
owe the origin of our alphabet
And it was not the numerous breeds
of Canaanites who put up the greatest
resistance against the Hebrews in their
efforts to conquer Canaan, but these
cultured and respectable Philistines.
Herein is parallel to the battle going
on in society today. It is not against
the crimes of the gutter, terrible as
those may be, that society wages its
hardest battle; but against the crimes
of responsibility gossip. jealousy, envy,
malice, false pride, hypocrisy. injustice,
uncharitable judgment, lying, bitter
ness, hot temper, SelfishnesS, spite, in
gratitude, treachery and q host Of
others.
1t is from this army of responsibility
that the greatest sorrows come to So
ciety, not from the scattered skirmish-
ers of crime. The wrongs punishable
by human law cause but a small part
of the worlds suffering. compared with
the unpunishable wrongs Of everyday
life.
BY all means, put down the Jebusites.
But let us not overlook-those respec-
table Philistines.
