Perhaps, If I had not left hfr—por- hspe, If I turned hack— I clenched my fists and hurried on. I would not give rein to the thoughts that were making my heart bound like a run away horse. I had turned up Fifth avenue^and had reached Twelfth or Thirteenth Otreot when I thought I heard the pat ter of the Eskimo dog’s feet behind me.

The oppressive stillness was’-not that of solitqde.- She must he awake; she must be listening In terror.

Afterward I dragged the dreadful bur den down from the hole. Kcarried tbe deMd man all the way down fhe fire escape, rttngtng and straining", against the rotting, rusting^ bars.

It is simply an exhortation to devote to God our bodies which rightly be long to hlm.^ This is a reasonable service, an'd we’sfiall understand it to be such If we keep in mind that even our bodies do not belong to us but to God. and that they are th* temples of the Holy Spirit (I Cor. 6:10-80). We nop naturally ask. how shall we present our txHlIes as a living sacri fice? If w© turn fo the sixth chapter of Romans w*e shall find the answer to this question. 'In Fhat chapter we read, “Let not sin therefore reign In yrmr tnortirt body, that ye shouM -obey It In the lust thereof; neither yield ye your members as instruments of un righteousness unto Bin; nut yield your selves unto God. as those that are alive from the dead, and your members ■•JnainMMata The second thing urged Upon us by our text la noncomformlty to this age: "Be not conformed to this world." or as better rendered, “to this age." This, If jft means anything, means that w* are not to be like tbe time In which we live, which la called evil by the word of God. Paul's expression con cerning It la, "This evil age." In thus characterizing the age In which we live, Paul does- not necessarily mean that everything In It Is bad. bat rather that evil la Its distinguishing or char acteristic mark. It was with knowl edge of this fact that Jesus. In bla In tercessory prayer, prayed for his disciples of all time, saying. "I pray not that thou skouldst take them out of tbe world, but that thou ahouklst keep them from the evil." It should be evident to all that this Injunction means that we as Christians are not to fashion our lives after thlb age so that they correspond with it, but we are to take a position toward this age that will put us out of corre- tlonably means that obliged oftentimes to decline to allow our lives to be governed by the habits and customs of our times. We cannot. If we obey God, be In agreement those things that are pontrary-to the standard which God has set for us. This may mean that we shall be con sidered by the world a queer people, but If this cause us should ■Shame for Christ’s sajve.— ln fact, the word of God tells us thht Joshs Christ “gave himself for us that he redeem us from all Iniquity nnd purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.” The third Injunction of our text Is, "Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” - More, you 'see, Is ex pected of us ns Christians than non conformity to this age. We are to be not only unlike 1t, but entirely differ ent from It. The word “transformed" Is the sapie word translated “trans figured” in the—accounts concerning Christ when he took Peter, James and John with him into the mountain, apart from thk rest of the disciples, and was, if w’e now use the word of our text, “transformed” before them. Tbe^ngqpunts tellers that “His face did shine as the sun. and his raiment was white as the light.” -Of course it is not expected of us that we shall have such a supernatural appearance as did Christ, but that our life shall partake of the characteristics of that Country toward \yhloh we are traveling, so that those who "see,us shall know by our conduct that our citizenship is In TIT r :—~7~ ’ The text tells us the diTine way by which we may be transformed. It is “by the renewing of the mind." If we turn to Titus 3:. r » we shall see that this is the work In us of the- Holy Spirit. There we rend of the “reuewlng of the Holy Ghost." Brethren. If we are to be unlike this age. and like the age to come. It will be only ax we allow God, through the Holy SpldC to “renew our '■tiff!*.** *—- The time will soon be here for those exciting and fascinating excursions to the millinery shop In search of new irvUTTnoi-.r; Trf whtdr mtHr l» oxpectexL The old millinery axiom that a hat is becoming when one looks better wlfli It pn than WtthootUt, is a good thing To bear fn TnTnd’ Af the Tffy letlst *We expect hats, like mirrors, to “be to our faults a little blind, nnd to our vir tue* not unkind.” Just how much tbe , right shape and the right color* can do to transform's fnce.

AMERICAN MADE UNDERMUSLINS Recently American manufacturers of uitderwear have thought so well of their achievement's that they have pro claimed themselves as the designers jof the styles now favored in lingerie. They certainly are justified in taking pride in the daintiness and attractive ness of the garments they make in such quantities and they find it easy to cultivate a .taste for fine tvndeffnus- lins. American women are appreci- ativej, but they are also practical and with' short kimono sleeves and they demand pretty but not too fragile garments. Few of them run to the extreme of wearing chiffon or georg ette In undies, or carp for bizarre'de signing. In the main they like fine weaves in cotton or crepe de chine for materials, not too much trimmed with .fine and durable laces'-hand embroid ery and ' other needlework. Hand Crochet in htecs holds Its own with them, _«md - has* everythig to recom mend ft. •— r Of course not much handwork Is to be found on manufactured undertnus- IIn*. but machinery has been made to do wonderful work and sometimes xo ing the neck, armholes and bottom the knickers edged with narrow val lace. SniaU sprays of prim daisies, tied with bow knots adorn the front of the body and appear on tjie pants.

Very narrow ribbon gathers in the fullness at the top and It is run through beading. * A nightdress of nainsook is shown. round neck.

Detachable bows and rosettes of ribbon, that fast en with,little safety pins, are nmong the treasures that some women own, nnd they add these pretty frivolities to their undergarments, pinning them on. * Tire pajamas tn the picture are made of crepe de chine nnd embroid ered with colored silks.
