The girl who goes to the seaside
with the intention of coming back
engaged is generally well dressed.
A pretty dress means so much
when you are going 10 make an
impression. Men are susceptible
t i good looks and nice clothes.
And even to nice clothes without
the good looks.
If a girl hasn't actual beauty but
is well dressed, men will say, "She
looks like a nice girl."
Love is even in league with the
dressmaker, and even beauty can
not afford to ignore the modes. It
is natural for a girl to like pretty
frocks, and what man is there that
doesn't want a natural, human
girl when he marries?
Besides, a perfect toilette ex
plains so many things. There's the
joy of life in a new hat, and the
shining tresses that nestle beneath
it. Good temper lurks in the
folds of crepe-de-chine. The soft
nesses of love flutter in new laces
. and ribbons.
! A pretty dress may mean a for
; tune if it is instrumental in bring'
in about an engagement. Every
! body recognizes the importance
' ol appearances. None better than
, the match-making mother.
! Ii is always when Betty is look
ing lovelier than ever in her ex
auisit costume" that Billy decides
io propose, and does so.
Really, men are much more sen
sible than is generally supposed.
They appreciate the fact that
woman who takes a pride in her
appearance is more likely to be
credit io them than one that just
has her good looks to rely on.
Beautv fades, but new dresses
go on forever.
Some women have a remarkable
habit of dressing badly, and even
a pretiy face won't save them
The result is that, if they marry at
all, it is some man who doesn t
bother about dress. Such men are
a blowupon our fair land.
1 low much are veils responsible
for? Unprepossing features lake
on a magic :harm through a veil.
By the lime that a man discovers
faults in a nose and mouth, the
charms of a perfect costume have
had their effect.
OENERALLY THE CASE.
Why is it that ninety-nine times
out of a hundred the friends who
borrow from you are fellows you
couldn't get a nickel from if you
wanted to borrow yourself ! Chap

I SHALL BE SATISFIED.
Not here, not here, not where the sparkling waters
Fade into mocking sands, as we draw near,
Wherein the wilderness each footstep falters
I shall be satisfied but, oh, noi here !
Not there, where every dream of bliss deceives us,
Where the wornspirit never gains its goal,
Where haunted ever by the thought that grieves us,
Across us floods of bitter memory roll.
There is a land where every pulse is thrilling
With rapture earth's sojourners may not know,
Where heaven's repose the weary heart is stilling,
And peacefully life's time-tossed currents flow.
Far out of sight, while yet the flesh enfolds us,
Lies the fair country where our hearts abide,
And of its bliss is naught more wondrous told us
Than these few words, "1 shall be satisfied."
' Satisfied, satisfied ! the spirit's yearning
For sweet companionship with kindred minds,,
The silent love that here meets no returning.
The inspiration which no language finds.
Shall they be satisfied? The soul's vague longing.
The aching void which nothing earthly fills?'
0, what desires upon my soul are thronging,
As I look upward to the heavenly hills !
Thither my weak and weary feet are tending,
Saviour and Lord, with Thy frail child abide,
Guide me toward home, where, all my wanderings ending,
I then shall sec Thee and "be satisfied."!

ANSWER TO ROCK ME TO SLEEP,
My child, oh, my child ! thou art weary to-night,
Thy spirit is sad and dim is the light;
Thou wouldst call me back from the echoless shore,
To the trials of life, to thy heart as of yore,
Thou longest again for my fond, loving care,
For my kiss on thy cheek, for my hand on thy hair,
But angels around thee their loving watch keep,
And angels, my darling, will rock thee to sleep.
"Backward?" Nay, onward ! ye swift rolling years,
Gird on thy armor, keep back thy tears !
Count not thy trials nor efforts in vain
They'll bring thee the light of thy childhood again,
Thou should not weary, my child, by the way,
But watch for the light of that brighter day,
Nor tired of "sowing for others to reap,"
For angels, my darling, will rock thee to sleep.
Tired, my child, of the base, the untrue?
I have tasted the cup they have given to you,
I've felt the deep sorrow in the living green,
Of a low, mossy grave, by a silvery stream,
But the dear mother I then sought for in vain,
Is an angel presence and with me again,
And in the still night, from the silence so deep,
Come the bright angels to rock me to sleep.
Nearer thee, now, than in days that are flown,
Purer the lovelight encircling thy home;
Far more enduring the watch forio-night,
Than ever earth worship away from the light.
Soon the dark shadows will linger no more,
Nor come to thy call from the opening door;
Bui know thee, my child, that the angels watch keep,
And soon, yery soon, they'll rock thee to sleep.
They'll sing ihee to sleep with a soothing song,
And waking thoult be with a heavenly throng,
And thy life with its toil and its tears and its pain,
What thou wilt then see has not been in vain,
Thou wilt meet those in bliss whom on earth thou didst love.
And when thou hast taught of the mansions above,
Never hereafter to suffer or weep,
The angels, my darling, will rock thee to sleep.

years ever since I first boarded
his train, and, with a smile, he
said cheerily: "Good morning,
sir! May I see your ticket?" I
remembered that I looked to see
from whence the sunshine ema
nated and gazed into a face round
and clean and smiling as a May
morning. Then 1 noticed also that
on his sleeve he wore a number
of gold stripes, marking him as
one of the oldest and most faithful
of employees. On the lapel of his
coat was a little button with a
pitcher on it, telling me that he be

traveling men, "Gideon's Band,"
who have done so much to lift the
traveling men to a place of honor
and respect. That button became
the link which bound us and our
hands clasped in real brotherhood.
In reply to my question he said: j
"I found that those girls were go
ing to work in the Cedar Rapids
factory and had been directed by
some woman io a boarding house
which has an evil reputation. 1
knew if they ever went there, they
would be lost before morning. My
wife is with me on the train and we
will take them with us over night
and find them a safe home." I
said, "That is a fine thing for you
to do and rather exceptional for
a man in a your busy life." He
replied, as he put his hand on my
shoulder: "That is my business.
I feel that I am not only responsi
ble to the Illinois Central for the
fares ot my passengers, but I am
responsible to Jesus Christ for
iheir souls. My business is to
serve Jesus Christ I am working
for the Illinois Central to cover ex
penses." A few months after 1 again
boarded the train of my friend and
asked him about the fate of the
girls. There came a light of great
er joy than 1 had seen in his face
before as he said: "We took the
girls home and the next day found
them a safe boarding place. We
took them to our church and last
Sunday they were baptized into
our communion as members. They
belong now to Him." I was not
surprised a little later to find that
his first name was "Andrew," for
I remembered: "And Andrew

Hearken unto my conclusions, oh my daughter, for a conclusion is
like unto a man something at which a woman always jumpeth.
Yea, and men are like unto cigarettes. They come in many assorted
brands, yet they are all made from the same material, with but one
difference, that some are a little better disguised than others.
Moreover, none of them is good, yet some are a little worse than
others.
Lo. I charge thee, thou canst not judge a man or a cigarette by ap
pearances, neither by the outside wrapping; for many a gold-tipped
cigarette leaveth a bitter taste in the mouih and many a gilt-edged lover
leaveth a womuii with a bitter henn.
Behold there are "ladies' cigarettes and ladies men; and the kiss
of a blonde debutante is not more sweetly insipid than either of these.
Goto1 A cheap cigarette, like the love of a flimsy man, goeth out
upon the slightest provocation, but the flame of a standard cigarette and
the flame in the heart of a man of the right quality endureth unto the
end.
Yea, ii payeth always to choose a classy article, whether in love or
the shops, for it lasteth longer ana is less expensive in me nnai recn
oning. ...
Yet, when all is said and done, wnat is so uninspiring as a aeaa love
or a dead cigarette ?
For the one, like unto the other, is coia ana unattractive, ana to re
kindle either is a folly ana a atsappotntmeni.
Verily, verily, I charge thee, beware ol love l

seemeth bitter, but, in time, love, like unto cigarettes, may become a
