Fanhlon'g Latest Freak. Whence came it? What era in ancient or modern history produced it? Did any woman ever live who looked well in it? These gaspings result from a contemplation of Fashion's latest freak, the deep armhole. It occupies the position usual with armholes, its upper edge at the extremity of the shoulder; but from there it extends down, way down into the side of the waist, reaching a point only a few inches above the waist line. And this hiatus is filled in with the sleeve, which is cut correspondingly enormous, hanging with the graceful lines peculiar to potato sacks in their leisure hours. One of these armholes noted had a sort of binding of velvet ribbon to conceal the seam. Of course if this armhole is to be it will be. We shall all wear it and In course of lime think it beautiful. But at first it is more appalling than the hoop skirt. Shirt Wniats. Shirt waists are a stylish and serviceable addition to the young girl's seasonable outfit. There is also great variety in the materials of these practical garments, those for general wear oeing moaeieu upuu ymm uues auu uc| pending upon the lines and detail of j finish for their good styles; those for wear with the voile or taffeta coat suit, or with white or colored linen separate skirts, are lavishly adorned with frills, I puffings, smockings and lace insertion I and made of the finest lingerie fabrics, says the Delineator. A stylish design for taffeta or linen is box-pleated to the waist line, or in yoke depth only, as preferred, and the sleeves are pleated to correspond and may extend to the neck in epaulette style or terminate at the armholes. i"WV ' - _ ^..

It is what some of you are coming to, dear friends, unless you take warning. Let this Bible give you such a or warning to-night. May it ever be a warnno ing to every family of this church. ; a As often as the eyes of those worshiping >n here shall rest upon it, may it speak to them its solemn message with a voice thai n" cannot be drowned?let not the fire bur* " 8 low on your hearthstone, but keep up th? n" fireside glow.

It is a book of wisdom, that makes the SI foolish wise. it It is a book of truth, which detects all a human errors. ,r It is a book of life, and shows how to t avoid everlasting death. 3 It is fhe most authentic and entertainis ing history ever published. ir It contains the most remote antiquities, 3. the most remarkable events and wonderful j it occurrences.

The cry, "back to Christ," needs guard3. ing, or it may become mischievous and j o misleading. From all human theologies [t and priestly systems we do well to turn, j s. and to make our appeal to Christ. But I ]f which Christ? The Cnrist pre-pentecostal ) jt or the Christ post-pentecostal? The differ- i t- ence between the two is immense. To bid | a modern person ''place himself in thought j 0 and imagination where the first disciples [e encountered Him," is to direct him to a j. false point of view.

Feeling it was a shame to allow e e a book to be disposed of in that wa; ; went to the ash-can and turned its tit, tnd toward her.

Their oiled papers are astonishingly J cheap and durable. As a cover for ! his load of tea when a rainstorm over! takes him the Japanese farmer spreads over It a tough, pliable cover of oiled paper, which is almost as impervious as tarpaulin and as light as gossamer.

The Management of Wives. Another thing the tactful husbano does Is to let his wife cry. I don't mean that he drives her to crying, or that he lets her weep while he stands unsympathetically by with his hands in his trousers pockets, his feet apart, and grinning sardonically. I mean that when an emotional woman needs a good cry, lie realizes that it will re> lieve the tension. He does not get up and rage r.bout and kick footstools out of the way and say, "Oh. for heaven's sake, stop crying!" No! He goes and pats her shoulder soothingly and says: "There, little woman! I'm sorry the cook has left and your new gown books up crookedly, but cheer up! Let's go out and have a jolly little dinner, and to-morrow I'll write that tailor a letter that will make his hair curl."
