I seldom look at an kles, bcin' prudent?more or less?but when we're forced to see 'em, then we aint to blame, I guess. I hate to see a tailored gal set out upon a trip, when there's every Indication that her snaps has lost their grip,? though galoshes might be graceful?even carry an ap peal, if they didnt sag down, ornery-like, and loaf around the heel. I don't enjoy my privelege of actin' like a spy, when I need to elevate my chin, and let folks ketch my eye. And still, there's urgent rea sons which command a feller's view?like the innocent attrac tion to a comely ladies' shoe. I couldnt think of nothin' that improves the searchin' mind, like glancin' at the beauties of a noble woman-kind: and while there's laws of comfort that we hardly dare forget, I never liked galoshes, and?I wouldn't have a sett.

Miss Caldwell will be at the home conveniences booth at the State Fair next week. Every one visiting the State Fair should see the N. C. ham and bacon show in the Woman's building and note carefully the sire, color, and cuf of the prize winning hams and bacons. The judging will be done by experts and it will be an excellent lesson in the cutting and curing of farm meats. The heme demonstration kitchen has received this week a dilver, a present from the manufacturers. When first asked for one for the kitchen the company refused but when a promise was made to exhibit it at the county and state fairs they consented to do nate one. I visited Good Housekeeping Insti tute,. reports Miss Caldwell who re. | turned Sunday from a week's vaca tion spent in New York, and saw an array of household appliances being tested by their home economics staff. Those appliances that satisfactorily pass the tests are given the Good Housekeeping stamp of approval. The articles under test that day were mostly electrical devices, all manner of electrical tireless cookers, ovens, stoves were seen. One electrical range built to resemble a wall cabi net and screwed to the wall to save space. There were some new designs in electric refrigerators, most of them with compartments for freezing ice cream and for making small cubes of ice for tea. There was a new type ol "dolly" washing machine, an ironing oard that folded under tho tabic top, a gas heated kitchen size clothes dry er. This last tho it may win the stamp of approval as being practical for city housekeepers would be of lit tle value to housekeepers in the coun try who usually have ample outdoor room and sunshine for drying clothes. At Wannamaker's there was exhib ited six model kitchens. The kitchens being furnished in keeping with the site of the room and the means of the owner. In another department was shown the "house the budget built'' showing styles of furniture suitable to | different Incomes. I noticed many of the New York restaurants have turned the usual ar rangement around and have the kttcji. en In front and the dining room back of It You can stand on the sidewalk and see the food being prepared he fore you go in to dinner. This sub ject of food preparation is an all ab sorbing one. When visiting the steam ?hip Leviathan I became so absorbed In seeing how food for the 4500 pas sengers and crew was stored, prepar ed, and served that I failed to give proper time to admiring the thousand dollar chandeliers, the hand painted tapestry, the marble and tile swim ming pool and other marvels of this floating palace. . \. - t Sincerity Is valueless unless you get sincere about something worth while.

"Well?he can't be the laziest man?else he would either get up or sit down?instead of holding himself up in that position on his hands." Native:? "You're wrong there, st ranger. Some of the boys put a tack on that bench ?and Bill's too lazy to get off'it." Such Is Life. First He:? "Look across the street?Red Hot Mama, eh?" Second He:?

A very gracious time was had theso past elev en days. The attendance has UK-n very good. It has again been pr.-ven that the simple message of the love of Jesus Christ is in itself attractive. No other attraction is necessary. Resort ing to other methods; stunts, vaude ville, catchy wording or advertising etc., is out of harmony with the Di vine Plan for the Redemption of the souls of men. The helper, Rev. John Archie Mclver has conducted himself aa a Christian gentleman. No unkind word has oeen uttered. No criticism of other chur. chea has escaped his lips. A cordial word of welcome has been uttered fre quently to those of other communions meeting with us. An effort has been made to establish more friepdly under standing and fellowship between the various denominations.. The building was well filled last Sunday night, many sitting In the bal conies. This congregation exceeded the one of the preceding Sunday not withstanding the fact that services were being held as usual In the other churches of our town.
