The yoke and band about the bolero body was of the lace, also the short flounces of the heavy lace. Exquisitely Colored Linens. Colored linens are more numerous than usual among the linen models, a fact accounted for doubtless by the exquisite colorings obtained in the linens of the day, and soft rose, pink, coral pink, almond green, banana yellow and blue linen frocks made with skirt and coat and embroidered in self color are most delectable costumes for summer [ vreart favorite.

Dr. Torrey, over the great revivalist, 011 Sunday deiiv- wbis ered a compelling sermon entitled "One p]nC( Miser Worse Than Twelve Whisky inve: Fiends." His text was Acts xxii., lti: brinj "And now, why tarriest thou? Arise Yo and be baptized, washing away thy able sins, calling on the name of the Lord." 0f ni "Why tarriest thou?" It was God the 5 who asked that question of Saul of i0ve Tarsus, who, as you will remember, take was a most bitter enemy of Christ; 1 0ne doubt if Jesus Christ ever had a more He bitter enemy, a more determined, more At, relentless enemy than Saul of Tarsus. jess Saul of Tarsus sincerely believed that worl Jesus Christ was an imposter, that His and claim to be the Son of God was a false s!av< claim, and he hated Him with all the thea intensity of a sincere soul. There enoll were times when the thought would jn l come stealing into Saul's soul, "Per- thin haps He is the Son of God." Espe- with daily when Saul stood and saw pjay Stephen stoned to death and heard jn s Stephen's dying testimony, "I see the the Heavens opened and the Son of Man COn]< stands 011 the right hand of God," the p]ea thought came to Saul, "Does he really will see Him? Is Jesus really the Son of giTe God?" Eut Saul would not listen to So these suggestions. a fri He kicked against the goal and be- meei came all the more bitter against Christ life. In his cumity, because there was a raan lurking suspicion that he was wrong. 1 w He breathed an atmosphere of threat- sclio ening slaughter. He went down into wife the streets of Jerusalem, going from and house to house, dragging from their "0 homes men, women and children, spar- and ing neither age nor sex, all those who ra?tn professed belief in Christ; he dragged 1 ha them to be tried and punished, to be and put to death, and if anyone was to be ]aug killed he always voted for their death, y0u'] until at last he had exhausted all his \ im opportunities for persecution of the tian, Christian people of Jerusalem, but he wist had not exhausted his hate of Christ. foav He heard that 130 miles away from teen Jerusalem at Damascus there were may other Christians, and his heart went you out in bitter hatred toward those Chris- a se tians he had never seen. So he went "A to the High Priest and asked the an- pron thorities to allow him to go to the city Chri of Damascus and to do "what he had shou done in Jerusalem. They were only she too pleased to allow him to go, so he unit< started on the long, weary way to Da- way niascus, hurrying there, neither stop- kno^ ping for the intense noonday heat, but tian pressing eagerly on. so intensely did he tian hate the Son of God. "A And now he has almost reached Da- urda mascus; he stands on the last foothill been and stands looking down into the val- Chri ley at Damascus. Damascus was a have city noted throughout the ancient mak world for its beauty. But as he stood and there looking at the beautiful city Saul was did not think of its beauty, but of the now thousands of Christians there whom he a CI wished to drag from their homes to stan death. you As he was standing there, there sud- "T denly shone around him a light to a brighter than the sun, and in the midst and of that light thfe brightest and most i0ya: wonderful face and form that Saul had 'Hm ever seen appeared. It was Jesus, but "With a cry Saul fell on his face to the Cleai ground, and out of toe cloud came a mak voice saying, "Saul, Saul, why perse- to-ra cutest thou Me?" chur From a humbled man came back the "I answer, "Who art Thou, Lord?"

"Arise; get on vert, thy feet and go into Damascus, and gPth there thou sbalt be told -what thou Shalt do." He arose, and found him- greg self totally blind, and thus he entered gj01.; the city where he had expected to come perh as a conqueror, blind, helpless as a t>eei] cripple, where he spent three days and br0n three nights fasting and praying.

Point of the Proverb. An old proverb advises the shoemaker to stick to his last. It means that a man always succeeds best at f the business he knows. To the farmer r, it means, stick to your plow; to the a blacksmith, stick to your forge; to the a painter, stick to your brush. When we | make experiments out or our une j ! are likely to prove expensive failures. ' I It is amusing, however, to remark how every oue of us secretly thinks be could do some other fellow's work better than tbe other fellow liluiself. The k painter imagines he can make paint ! better than the paint manufacturer: . the farmer thinks be can do a job of painting better, or at least cheaper e than the painter, and so on. e 'A farm hand in one of Octave n Thnnet's stories tells the Walking Dell egnte of the Painters' Union, "Anybody can slather paint;" and the old line painter tells tbe paint salesman, "None of your ready made mixtures n for me; I reckon I ought to know bow lt to mix paint." !r The farm hand is wrong and the d painter is wrong: "Shoemaker, stick ,<3 to your last." Tbe "fancy farmer" L can farm, of course, hut it is an ex' pensive amusement. If it strikes him ,j as pleasant to grow strawberries at fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs that cost him five dollars a dozen, it is a form of amusement, to be sure, if o he can afford it, but it's not farming, t- If a farmer likes to slosh around with 3- a paint brush and can afford the time h and expense of having a practical j. painter do the job right pretty soon afterward, it's a harmless form of amusement. If the painter's customers ^ can afford to stand for paint that e comes off in half the time it should, 1- they have a perfect right to indulge his harmless vanity about his skill in paint making. But in none of these , cases does the shoemaker stick to his I a last. T 4no+ An a /tinea nf men In ' J.

In a good ready-prepared paint )f every particle of one kind of pigment 1 is forced to join hands with a particle of another kind and every bit of solid i- matter Is forced, as It were, to open its mouth and drink In Its share of linseed 3 oil.
