SERMONETTE.
"And they feared the Wing;
for they saw that the wisdom
God was In him, to do judg
ment.”—-The surest pathway to
power over the hearts of men is
that which runs parallel to tho
Divine will and purpose.
Power over men which finds
its source In God is first pure,
next unselfish, and lastly up
lifting.
There is power of men over
men and there is power from
God over men.
The first finds Its source In
human ambition; the second
comes from union with God.
There is no grander privilege
or greater responsibility than
that of power over one's fel
lows, if the source and inspira
tion of such power rests in God.
Solomon because of his natu
ral gifts, the resources at his
command and the station which
he occupied had great power
over men, a power which he
might have used wholly for self
ish ends.
But into the devout heart of
the young king there came a
realization of a higher power to
which even a king must bow.
and In a sublime spirit of mod
esty and genuine humility he
puts a true estimate on the lim
itations of human attainments
and abilities, and sen in the
unlimited resources of God the
complement of all human en
deavor.
Men In power are feared by
the people, either for the evil or
the good which they may do. If
evil, then a fear inspired by dis
trust and a sense of injustice.
If good, then a fear born of an
appreciation of that righteous
ness and justice which operates
to, the benefit and blessing of
->4II alike.
As in the days of Solomon, so
is it true to-day, that men arc
quick to recognize the qualities
of genuine goodness in those
who are an authority.
And notice, it is the simple,
common incidents of life which
reveal the true qualities of a
man. Have you not often won
dered why so ordinary an inci
dent was chosen by the inspired
writer of the book to prove the
wisdom of Solomon? There
must have been a multitude of
incidents more striking and
more profound, but out of all,
this story of the two harlots
and their offspring Is chosen.
And yet what did it reveal to
the people as perhaps no other
incident could have done? First
of all, that wisdom born of God
is not so high or so mighty as
to be above the commonest
things of life, nor so exclusive
as to shut out the weakest and
meanest and lowest of God’s
creatures from share in his
righteousness and justice. And
in the next place, that wisdom
from God goes deeper than mere
external evidence, touching the
very mainsprings of life, and re
vealing what the deceitful heart
is striving to cover up. Truly,
the “foolishness of God is wiser
than men; and the weakness of
God is stronger than men.”
THE STORY.
<<¥> RHONE! Thlnkest thou that the
D king hath time for such as ye-’”
and aa he spoke tlie gate keeper thrust
back the two women who sought en
trance to the palace. With a look of
pain and disappointment they slunk
back Into the shadow of the gateway,
and watched with envious eyes the
groups of people passing to and fro
through the gate. Their garb pro
claimed them an belonging to the
j>oorer class, and the certain condi
tions of dress and hearing indicated
plainly their character and the ques
tlonable manner of their life, and had
not the gate keeper been busy with
the constant stream of people passing
In and out of the palace grounds
he might have been curious to
Trnow what could havp brought them
thither. And while they made no fur
ther attempt to enter, they lingered
near, offering striking contrast to the
Important looking officials who found
such ready entrance to the palace.
It was during the early part of
Klhg Solomon's reign that our story
opens, and king and leaders from all
over the land were busy effecting that
organization which later became the
marvel of nations far and near With
clover foresight he picked loaders from
all over the realm and gave Into their
hands the administration of the king
dom, so that no place was no distant
hut that It felt the Impress and stlm
ulus of the cuergetlc young king Once
a year these leaders and the other of
ficers of the kingdom assembled at
Jerusalem lo report to the king, and
1t was at such a time as this <.hat
these two Woman had appeared at the
palace pleading that they might aac
the king
The eongh words sod tmtasnt of
the gatekeeper caught the notice of
on© of the officials as be was enter
ing. and he paused after passing with
in the gateway to lock back and ob
serve the wonieu who had thus been
so harshly repulsed. Something in
the expression on the face of one of
the women aroused his curiosity and
he retraced hie st« os to her side nnd
Inquired of her what she desired.
Scarcely had she br gun to speak
when the other bvoke u with h«r
story and he soou saw that It was
some sort or a controversy bet*, ecu the
two over the ilttle babe whim one
woman carried upon her bosom, and
upon which the other woman ceased
not for & moment to keep her eyea
The humorous 6lde of the situation
appealed to the official, and after lin
gering a few moments and fatiiug to
obtain anything save a superficial un
derstanding of the matter, he turned,
and with an amused expression ou l.is
face he again entered the pulru-e
courtyard and was soon ni'ngltng
With the groups or men who had as
sembled in the king’s audience hall.
1 he king had not yet ascended his
Hi rone, and the buzz of conversation
tilled the great hall as tho offii ials
talked of the various matters which
were to bo brought before the kiug.
As tho last corner entered and
joined himself to a group standing
not far from the throne he was greet
ed with the inquiry:
“And what errand brings you
thither?”
And then one of the group, noticing
tho half-amused expression which had
not yet left liis face, spoke up and
said:
Surely it Is a pleasant message
which Nahsholi hath for the king ibis
dav.”
And thus challenged, the man ad
dressed went on with great gusto to
relate tho incident which had just
transpired at the outer gate.
It wa4 not quite clear to me
whether cr not the women purposed
to present tho king with the babe,
and euch was contending for tho
honor of so doing.”
' And to think that they should sup
pose that the king had time or thought
for such as they or for matters such
as might coino between them.”
Tlie w’ords of the last speaker were
spoken with a rising inflection, show
ing the contempt which he felt at so
absurd a proposition, and during tho
momentary hush which had fallen
they rang out clear and distinct, so
that the king, entering at that mo
ment, overheard what was said.
Instantly upon the appearance of
the king there was a hush, and every
thing else was forgotten in the for
malities of receiving and paying horn
age to their lord.
For some moments after the fortnal
ceremonies were over the young king
remained silent, thoughtfully contem
plating the assembly or the chief men
before him.
"What think you.” he asked at
length, "is the most important mat
ter to come before us? is the king
dom greater than the rights of the In
dividual?”
Puzzled by the words of the king,
the oflicials before 1,1m remained si
lent. And again the king spoke.
"Should nut the king have time for
any who desire judgment rendered?”
Again there was silence. Then,
turning Ids eyes upon tho ctlicial who
was speaking when ho entered, he
asked:
"And who Is It that Is beneath the
thought of the king?"
In great confusion and trepidation
the man mumbled something, and
then Nahshon, grasping the trend of
the kings mind and heart, boldly
stepped forward and recounted with
no spirit of ridicule, now. the story of
lhe two women who had been waiting
at the gate that morning
"We shall do nothing this day un
til the case of these iwo women is
heard," ejaculated the king.
Instantly one of the kings close
advisers stepped to his side arid wills
pored in Ills ear something at which
the king Impatiently shook his head
and exclaimed, so that all In the room
heard:
"What If they are? Have not even
the harlots tired of the righteous Judg
ment of the king?"
And then turning to one of the mes
sengers standing near he commanded
tho women to he sought out «ud
brought, in forthwith.
Had ever such a thing come to pass
before in Israel, llie chief men asked
themselves that day as they left the
audience chamber and departed for
tin? different portions of the king
dom? Surely Ihe wisdom and Justice
of God rested on their king that even
the lowest and most despised should
be able to come to him and find help.
And everywhere throughout the
kingdom the story spread of the two
women and the disputed liabe, and
the Judgment which the king had
bulged; and all Israel feared the
king, for they iaw that the wisdom of
God was In him to do Judgment.

At first sight the coiffures of to day seem to differ very little from those
of last season. There nre. however, some very material changes, according
to Julia Motiomley. Pompadours are fuller, wider, more off the brow*. Very
often they show a shallow parting at the middle. These changes were ncces
sary in order to wear successfully the enormously large hats with their liar
Ing brims, which are the most pronounced features of the new season. Waves
and curly locks about the face arc a necessity; puffs may hardly bo dispensed
with and whole wreaths of these smooth accessories are often used.
The bark lialr is worn low on the crown of the bead. As a rule there is
not much hair left to dispose of. after providing for the ample pompadour.
\\ hat 1 cumins is pinned in a fiat coll to the crown of the head usually, and a
wreath or half-wreath of puffs adjusted about It. The puffs are to be adjusted
to suit the hat worn. One therefore meets with them placed at various angles
Quite often the hat is put on before the puffs are pinned to place, in order to
decide just where they are most needed. It therefore happens that they may
He across the back of the head or across the front, Just back of the i*ompadour,
or iu a wreath entirely around the crown, or at various angles.
If one has abundant hair the low coiffure Is best suited to those hats with
extended hack brims. With the long sweeping ostrich plumes, which will ap
pear in falling cascades of feathers In many handsome patterns, a low coiffure
harmonizes better thun any other style.

NOW THE FLOWER SANDWICH.
Dainty Morsels Which Are Served at
Debutante Luncheone and Teas.
The latest wrinkle of the dainty
housekeeper is to serve "flower sand
wiches to her guests at an afternoon
tea.
Of course, these delicacies are exclu
sively feminine, and no woman Is an
foolish as to try to satisfy the mascu
line appetite with such morsels.
If milady s tea or luncheon table hap
pens to be decorated with chrysanthe
mums she serves chrysanthemum
sandwiches, or If sweet i*eus, violets,
roses, carnations, prevail in the dec
orations, she will have her sandwiches
to match.
The fragrance is extracted from the
flowers and Imparted to the sand
wicht»s by cutting the butter to be used
In thin blocks, wrapping it In cheese
cloth, smothering It with flowers and
lotting It stand for several hours In a
tightly closed Jar.
The Itrcad Is cut In paper like slices,
spread with the perfumed butter and
sprinkled with petals of flowers.
T he sand witches are rolled and tied
with ribbon to match the flowers.
After they have boon put hack In the
Jar with the flowers they nre serve*!
in a veritable bed of blooms, and If
they are not the most substantial
things In the food line they are at
least novel nnd dainty, and nt present
are quite the thing at debutante lunch
eons und teas.
HINTS FOR THE COOK.
Select a dozen or bo of fhe smooth
est and largest splints from fhe new
broom and lay them away to use In
testing enke when It is baking.
When cutting bread and butter spe
cially thin, occasionally dip the knife
In hot water, and never draw the kulfe
over the same place.
When frying fish of any sort a little
salt should bo sprinkled on fhe base
of the pan when It is hot and the rnt
Is boiling. The fish can then be easily
turned without being broken.
When cooking chops and steaks In
a frylng-parv or on a gridiron, never,
thrust a fork Into them in order to
turn them. If you do the juice will
run out and the steak or chop will be
bard or dry.
The dripping from roast ment. the
shimmings from soups, and rendered
down fat from meat trimmings, servo
tho same purpose, when clarified thor
oughly as lard or butter. Use beef
drippings for basting beef and gr.me,
keep mutton dripping for frying cut
lets, fish. etc.
Too rapid boiling makes most vege
tables tough. As a rule vegetables
should be rooked uncovered.
Klee and macaroni require fast, boil
ing.
Too much salt. In gravy or soup may
be counteracted by putting In a pinch
of brown sugar.
When finely chopped nuts are need
ed for salads or sandwiches, run the
nuts through the meat chopper.
Rice Stuffing.
Wash the rice thoroughly, and boll
It In rapidly boiling salted water until
the kernels are tender and quite dis
tinct; drain off the water (keeping It
for soup) and turn the rice Into a
colander that It may become quite
dry; Into an agate kettle put a cupful
of melted butter, add a medium-sized
onion chopped fine, and a little minced
parsley; turn In tho rice after season
ing It with mixed poultry dressing, or
with salt., popper, celery salt, thyme
or sage or fine mixed herbs, cook all
together for about five minutes, stir
ring It about all the time, and when
the rice has a golden tinge (but not
brown) remove from (be fire; cool
and fill Into the body cavlfy and
breast, leaving room for the rice to
further swell.
Baked Pork Chops.
Take the requisite number of pork
chops, dredge them with flour, salt
and sage. Put them Into a shallow
roasting pan, place the pan In a very
hot oven, bake about one half hour,
taking care not to burn them. Turn
and baste them three tlmcH while bak
ing. When done place In a hot steak
dish; cover closely, place pan upon
the stove; make gravy by mixing two
large tablespoonfuls of flour In a little
cold water and pour as much hot wa
ter into tho baking pan as you require
gravy. Doll It two minutes; strain
over the chops and servo hot with
smothered apple sauce.
Apples with Candied Fruit.
Peel and core eight large apples of
fine flavor and steam In a covered
vessel over hot water until they are
quite soft. Then take three ounces of
candled cherries and two ounces of
candled pineapple and chop them. H*m
mor for one hour In a cupful of water
and three tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Drain the fruit from the sirup and fill
the core cavities of the apples with It.
Return the sirup to the fire and boll
It down fairly thick before pouting It
over and around the apples. Serve cold
with whipped cream and lady Angers.
Home-Made 8weets.

Ultra Chic Note
Just Now in Paris
The ultra chic note In Paris Just
now is the contrust of tones between
the coat and the skirt. For the most
part the coats arc coquettlsbly shaped,
with open fronts, disclosing more or
less of the pretty bodice. This fash
ion, now thoroughly accepted, is also
an economical one, for what is easier
than to change Blightly a last sea
son's skirt to suit the prevailing
modes, nnd, with a velvet coat of
some nice, contrasting color, an up-to
date costume is achieved? The
latest fancy is to have these silk or
velvet coats made sleeveless. A last
year’s princess gown of fine gray
broadcloth is made tills year to look
quite new by the addition of a half
long coat of brigiit green velvet. The
sleeves of a bolero that belonged to
the gown serve for the coat, for their
shai>e is quite correct. Wide lace
frills fall from them now, and lace
frills fill the open front. With this
costume Is worn a wide brimmed hat
of green velvet. The velvet is gath
ered full over the brim above a lin
ing of pale pink tulle. There Is a
big mob crown, and between crown
and brim curls a long green feather,
held on one side by a clasp of green
and gold enamel.
Often these velvet coats have
sleeves composed entirely of lace.
One such Is of purple velvet, worn
with a skirt of gray crepo—a gray
so pale as to he nearly white. The
lace of the sleeves, overlapping
flounces, is of the same grayish white
tint.
One of the original ideas of the mo
ment is the “Katina’' sash. It Is
worn with a plain long Hkirt. Imag
ine a long, wide length of black Batin,
carried loosely about the hips nnd
knotted carelessly in the hack, leav
ing long fringed ends. Its upper edge
touches the belt line, but it Ih en
tirely about the body. There Is noth
ing newer and at the same time more
charming. It must be worn with a
gown of decided -color, like cerise,
rose, pale blue, or tender green, and It
is always black.
HANDSOME HAIR ORNAMENT.
It fs decorated with heading and
painting.
A Veil Caution.
Large. IoosHy draped veils, partic
ularly the bordered ones, which ac- !
rentuafe the lines from the chin to the
, back of the coiffure or hat, can make
or mar ti.e smart effect of the cos
tume, as well as seriously afreet the
youthfniness of the fare. To he able
to adjust the veil to the best possible
advantage la an art worth while cul
tivating.
Color Restorative.
If th«> color has beor taken oot of a
fabric by an arid, try sponging It with
I a weak solution cf ammonia. It will
I sometimes restore the color
Breathing Exercise
for Graceful Necks
I-or years a certain exercise has
been practiced by a family of Virginia
beauties, known the country over for
their beautiful, graceful necks, says
tlie Delineator. It is so simple that
every woman should know it. Here it
is:
Kvery morning before the sun Is
high, the girls arise aud stand before
Die window of their bedroom. They
diaw in deep, full breaths of the fresh,
dew-laden atmosphere. Then, rising on
tlie toes, another deep breath is drawn
in. I ills time It is held, and while the
mouth is kept tightly closed the breath
Is forced against the throat and neck *
muscles while l.r> is counted. As the 1
heels slowly come down to the ground 1
the breath is forcibly expelled, always
through tlie open mouth. I
To the beginner in beauty ^culture,'
tills exercise is likely to tiring on an
attack of dizziness. Hut do not bi
alarmed. It is simply because so much
oxygen is forced Into the lungs that
the scores of little air cells, hereto
fore empty, are quite Ailed to over
flowing. This starts the blood rushing
at such a mad pace that one is. for
the time being, qulto drunk with the
unusual exhilaration.
If, for two weeks, night and morn
ing, this exercise |g practiced ten
tlmcH in succession, you will note a
decided imprhvement. Distressing
hollows will begin to take on
natural curves and tingles to assume
lines of grace.
Women Decorate Hatpins.
Fashionable women are at present
giving their spare moments to form
ing and decorating hatpins. One must
have so many, and the pins play such
an Important part in the efTect of a
hat that every woman must have a
dozen or two special ones for eac|
chapeau The disks are Immense and
are almost flattened. Women buy
the plain disks, burrow holes with
tools, and after battering in strong
gum in the holes, sink and paste sap
phi res, or pearls, or rubies or emer
alds. Against the enameled surface
the effect is fine.
Those of copper are lor,*1y. but we
see pretty enameled ones of all colors
The more Jeweled the more chic, for
the plain hatpin is seen no more.
Coats of Fur Pluahcc.
The perfection to which the Jmlta
tlon of fur pelts has been carried in
plush cloths has led to their recogni
tion and fashionable use for handsome
long coats both for day and for even
Ing wear. Made up with linings of
satin brocades, or the plain satin
made ela’jprate with embroidery and
lattices or narrow chiffon ruches, as
one sees them this season, these ' near
furs'* assume elegance awl are sold
at nigh prices.
Velvet Hems and Furbishing*.
Velvet herns and velvet, dot* nj
other figures picked out with Jot make
other lace or net robes attractive and
offer suggestions for clever designing
Bright colored linings, either plain,
changeable or figured, are liked for all
sort* of transparent dresses, and at
a rule the color of the lining is repeat
ed In the garniture* |n sashes and
bodice trimmings.
Spangled Scarfs.
Beautiful cca»fs are made of liber
