Think more of love. and less. of laws.
or what you do. and less of why; '
Good is not good if done because
To follow rules is all you try.
X do not think that God above
Obedience as much admires
As deeds arising out of love
That no divine reward desires

Man needs no law but his own heart.
A longing for the common good;
To walk together. not apart.
Is all there is of brotherhood.
Man needs no precept to be bloat.
To serve his God no rule or plan:
For he will serve his God the best

Who serves the best his fellow-

Not only the humble brothers and

So you will probably not wear real

beauties of old chasubles and stolen

Incidentally they have brought
some of the colors with them from

to see how far back in the history
of women's dress the how can be
traced. It would be hard to imagine
a bow worn by Cleopatra or any
other Egyptian, and bow knots eer-
tainly do not smack of Classic

But bows were worn in the
Renaissance. though hlf‘dly ever in
the huddle Ages. They are insep-
arably associated with the produc-
tion of ribbons. Where there are

partly to the very much inereeeed
interest in ribbons and to the in-

in the mode of the Second Empire

Though ribbons doubtleu had
something to do with it. it is inter-

tied with ribbons. Often indeed

BUILT-IN FURNITURE

T is an interesting situation that
1 makes a clothes closet a part

of the house in which we live
and a bureau an article of furni-
ture that we carry about in a van
when we mm-e from one house to
another. More and more houses
are coming to contain as part of
their permanent fixtures articles
that were once carried about from
one house to another when their
occupants moved.

Permanent wash stands set up
by the plumber have about taken
the place of the old-fashioned
wash stand that was a part of the
bed set. Set laundry tubs have
taken the place of the tube that
had to be lifted every time they
were used. Electric lightning flx~
tures have taken the place of
lamps that were part of the mov-
ables of the house.

the house. conceived as part of
the woodwork and finished to
match. This makes moving day
simpler. but when one has so many
things attached to one‘s house.
moving days are less popular. The
more of your furniture hunched
to your house the more attached
you become to the house yourself.

One young woman whose dream
house is now being realised dis-
covered that she could have a
buffet built in her dining room
that would come up to her high
standards 0f practicability and
real beauty for forty dollars.
What sort of buffet could she buy
for that amount?

Builtein furniture is especially
desirable in the children‘s rooms
and in the nursery. Shelves of
drawers that are part of the wood
work offer much space and few
crevices for the collection of dust.
A low. fairly broad window seat
in the children's room or nursery
will do away with most of the
chairs.
