Sole Agents Butterick Patterns a JEHU AND HYDE LIFE DESCRIßEDJNJHE PULPIT Dr. Joshua Stanstield Considers the Duality of Men in His Sermon. GOD'S GIFT IS LIFE Although he used a biblical text yesterday in preaching his morning sermon on the duality of man, the Rev. Joshua Stansneld. of the Meridian-street M. E. Church, drew his most forceful illustrations from the novel of Robert Louis Stevensin, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." The sermon was delivered by request, and recent instances of crime and other events were impressed n the minds of the auditors. "There is a divine and moral endowment to hum.'n life," said Dr. Stanstield, "and no man can go down without first going below his best conscious first debasement. It is a sad charcteristic of our present age. that both profe9ional men and others, under a rash and inconoclastic culture, have come to speak of the very safeguards of a moral life as a 'morbid sense, and thus the highest and best religious instincts and Impulse have come to desuetude in many erstwhile noble lives. "No man by any drug, mental, moral or material, can pass from his best to his worst, from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde, without pangs. The facts are that it has never been an easy transition, but rather a painful If not a convulsive one. Dr. Jekyll typifies so many of us who never yield to sin without pangs and convulsions and pain. "A great burly Scotchman said to me after a most shameful episode for botn himself and family: 'Mr. Staiidfleld. If you knew everything about my antecedents and eai'v surroundings, you would not altogether b'arii.- -tu ; v,u would thiuk a little of my grandmother.' "There wis no hope for that man until he shifted tie responsibility about two generations forward. There is no fuller damnation in a human soul than the conviction that he is helplessly fated to be what he consciously is In his worst self. "But notice further the certain, swift processes of sin. Dr. Jekyll says that he awoke one morning, ard looking at his hand, he saw that is was not the hand of Henry Jekyll. but of Mr. Hyde. He went to bed Dr. J-kyll, ne awoke Mr. Hyde. All thla without the use of the drug whrcn generally accomplish. d Ulla change. "This." he says, was the Babylonian flnger on the wall.1 After two months the caged beast again breaks loose. Henry Jekyll went forth as Mr. Hyde once more. After two months of abstinence, it seemed as If hell were let loose in him. That night Sir Danvera Carew was brutaaly murdered. Mr. Hyde was hilarious in the deed gl oat e.i vsr it." Dr. Stanstield concluded his discussion of the moral aspect of the dual life of JekyllHyde, by citing the circumstances of his death. Ha dies in the house of Dr Jekyll, Where the servants and the household know him as the polished man of culture and refinement. But when th. servant burt open the door of the death chamber. hlies, not as Dr. Jekyll, but as the horrid ghastly Mr. Hyde. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God Is life, through Jesus Christ our Lord," concluded the minister.

"The Music of the King's Highway," was the topic on which Dr. Albert Hurlstone preached at Roberts Park M. E. Church yesterday morning. Text, Isaiah xxxv, S-10. In part he said: "The suffering of mankind has been the direct or indirect cause of the writing of some of the world s literary gems. The Song of Moses came after the marvelous deliverance of an oppress d race from their cruel taskmasters, the Egyptians. Triumphantly he exclaimed: 'The Lord is my strength and my song, and He is become my salvation. He is my father's God and I will exalt Him.' Miriam, the prophetess, also took her timbrel and said: 'Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously, the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea." Many of the choicest psalms of David are those which tell of his most bitter experiences. The psalms of the captivity, beautiful in their composition, are bitter Wallings from a people who found it difficult to 'sing the Lord s songs In a strange land.' In this world of sin and suffering, where we come in contact with the weariness, the fever, and the fret, where men sit and hear each other groan, we look before and after, and pine for what is not, but the "sweetest songs are those thut tell of saddest thought.' In the history of nations as of individuals, in modern as well as in ancient days, has the suffering of men caused to spring forth sweet music upon the highway of life. When France was tossed in the awful storm of the revolution a young military officer stationed at Strasburg, composed th celebrated 'Marseillaise Hymn,' which became, and has ever sine- remained the national song of revolutionary France. The words and melody alike seemed to strik" a chord In the heart and harp of liberty, which has trembled with emotions unto the present day. From the tried and suffering soul of Luther came his noble hymn so dear to the Oerman heart, A mighty fortress Is our Qod, a bulwark never failing.' From Bedford jail came the immortal 'Pilgrim's Progress.' From the persecuted and mob-cursed Wesley came a precious hymn sung by all denominations of Christians to-day, 'Jesus, Lover of My Soul.' From the soul of the patriotic Henry came undying eloquence winch fired the revolutionary fathers. From Thomas Hood we hear the 'Song of the Shirt' and the 'Bridge Of Sighs.' It needs a sufferer to interpret Buffering, and only a man who had a lifelong sorrow and who found it hard to work for bread in a great city could hive written as he did. 'Alas! for the rarity of Christian charity under the sun.' "So, too, Mrs. Browning was a woman of suffering and acquainted with grief. The acquaintance with grief taught her the secret of comfort, the mystery of pain, the secret of trust and the loneliness of life, the secret of insight.' She knew how to touch the springs of human sympathy and her 'Cry of the Children' started a new movement towards Christian humanituri.inlsm. And can we forget that from the battlefield of Gettysburg, during the days of suffering and cruel war. there came ft n the soul of the immortal Lincoln an address which, like a chapter of Holy Writ, can never grow old or stale. There he called upon his countrymen to 'highly resolve that those dead shall not haw died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom: and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth. There are about the same number of words In this memorable address as we And in this beautiful chapter, the twenty-fifth of Isaiah. Simple, chaste, strong, tender, prophetic, inspired and inspirational words of life and beauty. 'As fair flowers bloom upon rough stalks, so from Isra. 1 s stern challenges of justice there break sweet prayers for home.' The wilder;.. ma and the solitary place shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zlon with songs and everlasting Joy upon their heads"; they shall obtain jov and gladness and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." DANGLE CRAZE HAS REACHED THIS CITY

Indianapolis Girl Wants Latest in the Way of Chains Rapidly Disappear from Shops. The up-to-date girl doesn't slip on her long gold, silver or gunmetal chain with its lone lorn lorgnette, vinlagrette or coin holder, and think that she has added the flnlshing touch not she. The up-to-date girl knows better than that The finished product in the way of chaius has innumerable little dangles here, there and everywhere, and the plain chain, unadorned save for the lone dangle. Is. while not passe, not wholly up to the minute. Eastern girls have been wearing the quaint little dangles for several months, but they have Just made their appearance iu Indlauapolis. One Washington-street shop is showing a number of the dainty little trinkets, all of foreign manufacture, and th. y are being rapidly captured by the Indianapolis women who follow the modes. The bits of ornaments are of silver and of fine workmanship, though their prices are not large from 30 cents up to $2. There are any number of difT real flaeflgjia. dainty silver funs, a wee sedan chair of silver and enamel, a miniature but rakish stein, a tiny automobile, a cat in a basket, and, quaintest of all. "Moses In a Basket." a bit of a silver basket the top of which lifts to discover a tiny silver Moses very comfortable and czy. Beside there are bottles, clowns, elephants, goats, cais, dogs', skates, mummies, magnifying glasses, fishes and a large number of other live stock and articles of gr ter or less usefulness. Th.y are very quaint, these tiny crnaments, and they are so entirely different from anything that has preceded th. m in the way of dangles that It Is small wonder that they have caught the fancy. The crosses which have been so greatly in demand for wear on the long chains are apt to be even rn-.r.- the mode in the coming month or two as appropriate ornaments for the i. tit- i. ! .:.. The new crosses have little of the lenten suggestions of mortification and penance about them, however, for they are gay with color. Thev are large and flat, of whit, metal, and the upper surface is covered with enamel iu brilliant colors and effective designs. . ry striking and very handsome is a rhain of gunmetal set at intervals with big round stones of green and blue, which suggest the cyclop's eye (,f the brilliant feathers of the peacock. The chain is a delightful bit of color and the girl who wears it might be pardoned for having u pt acock idea of its effect. It is not at all an expensive bit of finery, for the gunmetal is imitation, though ne would scarcely guess it. A bright silv. r chain öf plain links set with flat topaz, s is another of t!.. new fancies in the popular ch.dns. The effeetive yellow ston - -!,w to advantage against the silver and h.t. the added attraction of ultra smartmss just now. IROQUOIS THEATER TO BE PLAY HOl'SE AGAIN Contract Let for Refitting and Redecorating the Ill-Fated Place. CHICAGO. Feb. 7 A contract has been let for refitting and redecorating the Iroquois Theater. In which 572 Uvea were lost on Dec 30, last. It has been uncertain whether the Iroquois would open again as a playhouse, but the letting of the contract for repairs indicates thut the theater will be reopened to the public as a place of amusement The cost of tti repairs will be about $22,000. and the management hopes to reopen the house In the early spring. It is said th" name of the theater will be eh.t.iKcd to the "Northwest."

IT ALSO INSPIRES FEAR

At All Souls Unitarian Church the Rev. E. E. Newnbert had for his theme, "Education and Progress." He said in part: "Culture is a forced product. With so much to overcome, how has man advanced so far? Wherein ia the twentieth century unlike the tenth0 Who doubts real progress should get well in mind the vivid contrast picture. Let him set epoch over against epoch. Think of all the modern age has achieved. Think of the lasting triumphs of mind. Recount the success in the field of invention nd discovery. Wonder anew at man'o hard fought conflicts and Ilia final conquest of nature. Or consider the liberties we cherish, the truth we defend. Wait upon the type of latter day religion, whose simplicity inspires, whose faith makes every man a priost unto him-ell, and whose great words :ight our feet to death. Progress is sure. Man has gained, man is gaining, and the compelling cause of progress n the education of the masses. "But cd i cation is a menace to the authority of despotic government and imperils the faith of a dogmatic church. Russia, foi instance, fears the universities, and the progressive mind courts exile. If Japan should win in the giant confiict of arms now impending in the far East, it will be because 3he purtakes of the modern spirit, because she values education and sends tae flower of mi youth into the universities of the world. The Greek Church of Russia, too, has no use for intellect. Tolstoi is too learned, too free, too much in love with truth, too honest, and his church casts him out. "Education is the biggest force lor progress in the modern world. Perhaps its greatest battles have been fought. Its mission is to lead, to light beacon fires on the hills. Investigators and thinkers bid us follow. Is the advance in chemistry or astronomy or medicine? We are eager to know. Or maybe the research that takes us far afield Is in biology or psychology, and the conclusions those of the evolutionist. So eager in chemistry and astronomy, why do. we halt now? Why? Because the line of research, the most vital and revolutionary, demands that we forsake the well-known for a novel interpretation of nature and man. Often it is, when a burning question In religion gets cold or when the glow has passed from some discovery in science, the timid rear guard catches up and cries, 'we've found it. I think of the Churcn of Rome opposing the new astronomy and condemning the poor little telescope of Galileo. The old earth revolves u few times, and behold a telescope in the Vatican. The printing press was hunted from hole to hole In Europe, and knowledge was proscribed. But no cloud is big enough to forever cover the sun. The ocean tides can't be stayed by the puny hand of a child, nor can it be dipped dry in a day. Something can't be done, and some things are too big to keep down, and some things have come to stay. "Time was when a theology, poor in s i. nee. poor in scholarship, poor In Its Id i of man and God, passed as the final expression of religion. Meanwhile the world wap moving, men were investigating and thinking. The conflict came, and scholarship won. To-day the demand is that theology shall have place htside chemistry and astronomy, subject to the same searching examination. For truth in religion Is not unlike truth In science. The church has no claim on truth that the classroom may not share. No man who ignores knowledge should presume to know God. No man who shuts every other book Is prepared to read his Bible. I would have religion abreast of truth. I would have the church keep pace with the university. I would have all great things and all great souls and all great causes go on together for the complete conquest of the earth in the name of man." SOUL AS INTERPRETED IN CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Lesson-Sermon at the Propylaeum Taken from the Literature of the Cult. In the Christian Science lesson-sermon at the Propylaeum yesterday morning the subject was "Soul," as viewed in the light of Christian Science. The lesson follows: "Soul is the divine principle of man and never sins, hence the immortality of soul. In science we learn that it is material aense, not soul, which sins, and it will be found that it is the sense of sin which is lost, and not a sinful soul. Humau thought has adulterated the meaning of the word soul through the hypothesis that soul is both an evtl and a good intelligence resident in matter. "What evidence have you of soul, or immortality, within mortality? Even, according to the teach i tigs of natural science, man has never beheld spirit or soul leaving a body or entering it. "What evidence is there in support of such a theory of indwelling spirit, except the evidence of mortal belief? What would be thought if the declaration that a house was inhabited by a certain kind of persons when no such people were ever seen to go in or come out, or were even visible through the windows? Who can see a soul in the body? "Soul is the substance, life and intelligence of man. Individualised, but not in matter, and can never be reilected by anything inferior to spirit. As used in Christian Science, soul Is properly the syn uyrn of spirit, or God. but out of science, soul is Identical with sense or sensation." S. and II.. Pp. 473 and 4X2. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS.

"Little Church Around the Corner," 2 and 8 p. m. EMPIRE. Burleeqoe, 2 and I p. m. UNIQUE. Vaudeville, 3 and 6 p. m. George Ade's merry operatic comedy, "The Sultan of Sulu," returns to English's this evening for an engagement of two nights its second engagement in Indianapolis. The bright satire, with its catchy music by Alfred O. Wathall, has been one of the gt. at successes of last season and this, and it is reasonably sure to attract large audiences here to-night and to-morrow night. It was "The Sultan of Sulu" that tlrst brought George Ade before the pubHe as a writer of theatrical entertainments, and the piece has more of Ade's original humor in it than any of his later efforts. The production here will be exactly the same as the one given at English's before the show was taken to New York for its big metropolitan hit. Frank Moulan will appear In the title role once again, and the other l"ading members of the cast are Cheridah Simpson, Gertrude Quinlan, Fred Frear, Walter Lawrence, Blanche Chapman, Helen Tomlinson. Melville Collins, George O'Donnell, John J. Fogartv and John T. O'Day. As in 11 of Henry V. Savage's musical productions, the chorus singers have been carefully selected with a vi w to obtaining the services of girls and young men of good stag.1 presence who are equ.il to the demand.- made upon them by the score The curtain will rise this ovening at 8:06. 4-4 4 "The Little Church Around the Corner" Is one of the famous places In a side stru t in New York, and it has gained its fame because of the number of theatrical people who hive been married there. In the pro duction which comes to the Park this afternoon this church plays an important part. An exterior view of it is given, with its lights aglow and its bells ringing, a wedding having just occurred. The plot follows the affairs of the young couple, and through it all the influence of the little church on the bride is one of the chif elements. The rascality is revealed in an effort to rob her of her good name her love for her husi.and prevailing acalnst th roguery. The pro duction is said to be elaborately equipped, having four acts with eight scenes, Ruth McCauley appears In the emotional rol" of the persecuted wife. Geraldine Tripp, a lit tle girl, has a good deal to do with bringing the story to a pleasing end. Robert Mason. Harry Williams and a number of others are also in the cast. The engagement closes Wednesday. The Grand'3 leading attraction this week will be the wonderful Marcel Living Statuaryreproductions of many of the world's great paintings. M. Marcel, the French artist who presents this unusual exhibition, uses seven models in displaying hU living pictures, and the men and women who pOM in the big gold frame are said to be the most efficient models that have even been f?een on the stage. Mr. and Mrs. Mark Murphy will furnish the principal comedy ffnture of the programme a farce called "Why Dugan Swore Off" and oth.-i entertjimrrs will be Lew Sully, the monologuist and sdnger of comic ditties; A. O. Duncan, the well-known ventriloquist; Galiagh?', Barrett and company, who will appear 1:1 a new travesty; Madge Maltland, a comeoienr.c who is new to local audiences; Hal Me;T'tt. a crayon artist and amusing Story teller and Bryant and Saville. tho musical comedians.

" which CMBM to English's for Wednesday and Thursday ev. nyig performances and a W- In. sday matinee. This i the terpsichorean exhibition that caught New York by storm last season. Six young worn. n. iu gorgeous dresses, go through a number of whirlwind gyrations with a half doz.-n young men who are attired as cafe waiters. The dance is said to be as exhilarating as the wine which is Mippoeed to Inspire it. without being offensive in any way. "The Silver Slipper" CHURCH Sil YEARS OLD UNO NEVER ASKED HELP North Park Christian Rededicated Building Is Enlarged for a Growing Sunday School. PASTOR TELLS OF GROWTH The rededication exercises of the North Park Christian Church were held yesterday morning. The dedicatory sermon was preached by the pastor, the Rev. Austin Hunter, at the morning service and in Mlft he said: "We have come to-day to a period and an epoch In the history of this local church. A little more than six years ago this church was st.irt.d and although it has n v r r ceived a dollar from any missionary society it has been self-supporting from the lirst and has grown strong in all departments. To-day we rejoice in our enlarged home and 1 lift up the words of our text as our war cry. 'Enlargement.' The Sunday school Is our greatest agency in teaching the word. It is our greatest field of work and there Is no department where we ought to concentrate so much energy as in our Sunday school. It was a fact that out of the growing needs of our Sundav school we constructed this buil.Mng." . Congratulatory eervIC were held at 3:30 p. m. Short adorcssen were mad - by the Revs. A.

Julia Marlowe returned home from Europe last Friday. This statement was made in the New York papers at the time of her arrival and caused considerable surprise, as very few people were aware of the fact that the fair actress had been across the ocean. She has been in Italy for the last month. "1 don't know what I shall do," she told a New York interviewer. "W hen I closed my tour in St. Louis I did so because I did not believe the people wanted to see me in 'Fools of Nature. which turned out to be anything but a sucoeaa. It is just possible that I will go on tour again during the spring, but I have not made up my mind as yet." The Rentz-Santley Company, a famous burlesque organization. will hold the boards at the Empire throughout this week, opening with the regular matinee this afternoon. Two musical travesties will be presented by the company "The Califf of Zuzu," which is u satire on "The Sultan of Sulu" and "The Matrimonial Market. ' I here is a chorus of pretty girls with the company who are said to be capable singers. The leading members of the combination are the Three Connolly Sisters, Gruett and Gruett, Lottie 1-Jlliott. Charles Dougl;iss. Eva Mitchell, the Yamamoto Brothers and McCacle, Sabine and Vera. Richard Harding Davis is making a gallant effort to rank with the best American playwrights. His newest play, "The Dictator." will be produced in Boston tonight by the comedian. William Collier. Those who are in a position to know -iv that it is the best piece of dramatic work yet done by Mr. Davis and that .Charles Frohman haa made no mistake in selecting it for Mr. Collier's debut under his management. The comedian has been sadly .n need of a good play this season. The first two comedies in which he appeared were failures. Sir Henry Irving will open his Chicago engagement to-night at the Illinois Theater the fourth of the theaters in the "Western metropolis to be opened since the great fire. His bill will be "The Merchant of Venice" instead of "Dante." He comes to Indianapolis ere long with his big company of London players. The play to be given here has not yet been decided upon, but if the wishes of local theatergoers are given attention the choice will fall upon "Dant?." as there Is a great desire to see the distinguished English actor in his newest role. William H. Crane, who comes to English's for the last two nights of the week, with a Saturday matinee, stands so high on the American stage that his visits to Indianapolis are always looked forward to with pleasure. He is playing a dramatization of Harry Leon Wilson's clever novel, "The Spenders," this year, a pearing in the character of the rugged old miner, Uncle Peter Bines. Many years of service on the stage have endeared this actor to the American public, lie is popular all over the country. They are copying American stage effects and ideas in the new London musical comedies. In the extravaganza, "Humpty Dumpty," now running in the British metropolis, the scarecrow from "The Wizard ol" Oz." the apples-of-truth tree from "The Runaways" and the "Melody Lane'' specialty from Klaw & Erlanger's ill-fated "Blue Beard" are being introduced, together with any quantity of "Yankee songs," as they call American musical numbers on the other side. One of the requirements In Leo Ditrichst. in's new comedy, "Harriet's Honeymoon," which is being presented most successfully by Mary Mannering, is that of a number of very stout worn, n are employed In a supernumerary capacity. It is not only necessary that these ladies tip the Bcales better than 200 pounds each, but they must also be tine looking and have a certain ammnt of carriage. Stage Manager Louis Marten declares that this is one of the most diflicult problems he has ever had to solve. Four generations of well-known actors is the record of the Chapman family and it is only paralleled by the Jefferson family. The fourth generation of theatrical Chapmans is represented by Miss Blanche Chapman, the comedienne and singer, who is now appearing as the "Judge Advocate" in "The Sultan of Sulu." and will be seen in that part at English's to-night and tomorrow night. 4 Owen Hall, the English comic opera librettist, who wrote the "books" for Florodora." "The Silver Slipper" and "The Medal and the Maid." is going to pay a visit to Amerka in the mar future, as he is desirous of learning more about the country in Which his works have met with such tremendous stirrers. His real name is James Davis, or "Jimmy" Davis, as he is called by his theatrical friends in London. lldmond Rostand, the young Fr.-n. h dramatist, is said to be adding the finishing touches to a new Joan of Arc play which bids fair to be an even greater sensation than his "Cyrano de Bergerac" or his "L'Alglon." If M. Rostand's latest effort proves as great a success as his earlier works there is likely to be a rush of plays

W. L. Donaldson. J. B. Wilson ,:r.d J. H. Burkhart. It is one of the rulings of the order that annual memorial services be held and the ocuassion yesterday was a pretty tribute to the lives of the departed broth rs. The Tabernacle Choral Society furnished the music and drejsed In their white gowns presented an imposing scene. The decorations were with flowers and the stars and stripes, the colors of the ord. r. A largo eagle, draped in mourning and the emblem of the order was mounted on a pedestial just in front of the speaker's stand. Beside the choral society and the speaker th. ie were on the platform the officers of the lodge, who conducted the memorial ceremonies Pi.dessur Frank E. Hering, past worshipful president of the South Bend Aerie, deUvered the memorial address. He gave a bru f history of the organization since its inception on the Pacific coast up to the present.

Morning Chat 'denn for a Day. Suggestions furnished by Table Talk to housekeepers of moderate means: Brekfast. Fruit. Granoe. Sugar and Cream. Broiled Ham. Creamed Potatoes. Gems. Coffee. Lunch. Hot Sliced Tongue. Pickles. Corn Bread. Cocoa. Dinner. Campbell's Vegetable Soup. Boiled Corned Beef. Mashed Potatoes. Savoy Cabbage. Lettuce. French Dressing. Wafers. Cheese. Brown Betty. Hard Sauce. Coffee. A Valentine Luncheon. Harper's Bazar. Of course the small dishes on the table will be cut glass or of silver, and if they are heart-shaped, so much the better. Have some of the soft red bonbons which come in individual paper cases in at least two of the dishes, and a red jelly in another, but beware of the crimson of the crisp little radishes which are so tempting, but which will spoil the color of the flowers. If you use the radishes have them peeled. Place a heart-shaped box of bonbons before each guest, and have your place cards dainty little valentines. A menu with a constant reminder of the day would be like this: Grape fruit In hearts. Cream of tomato soup: hot wafers. Clam croquettes. Cheese fondu in ramekins. Chicken breasts on toast; beets filled with peas; potato croquettes. Orange frappe. Quail or squab on fried hominy; currant jelly. Cheese salad in heart. Heart shaped ices: cakes. Bar-le-Duc sandwiches. Coffee. Children and Dolls. Washington Post. It has been said of lnte that little girls of to-day do not possess the love for dolls that children formerly cherished. Mrs. Margaret Delaad, the well-known writer, sees a nason for this iu the fact that modern dolls leave so little for the imagination to work on. She declares that It is a positive injury to children to deprive them of the joy of imagining things. In a recent magazine article Mrs. Deiand cites the words of a mother who could not understand why her little Phyllis tired so quickly of her elaborately dressed French doll Flfine. "Dear me!" said she, "when I was a child there was no money to buy wax dolls, so I had a corncob wrapped up in a red handkerchief for a doll. And how I loved it! It's name was Jane and I took it to bed with me i ry night for two joaia Then somebody burned it by mistake I was heartbroken." Mrs. Deiand points out that Jane was created by imagination, hence she became part of her little owner's very self. Fiflne made no demand upon fancifulness. creatlveness, hence she soon became wearisome. Children are just like; grown folks in this matter. At all ae.es we love what we work for. The thing that is obtained by endeavor is invariably most precious. One Woman' Impressions Abroad. New York Times?. "What impressed you most," said the gushing girl to the woman who had just returned from a trip abroad. "You must have sen such wonderful things" Th- woman who had traveled thought deeply a few minutes, then she said slowly, "i think it was the lack of napkins iu Scotland. Yes. that was it. My dear, there isn't a sign of a napkin on the tables in Scotland. If you ask for one you may get it, and then again you may not. I was entertained iu the homes of some of the finest people in Scotland, and never a napkin did I c i "The next most Impressive thing was the stxe of the coins in England. I used up a great deal of good, nervous energy trying ways and means to stuff those cartwheels into my little purse. One day. when my poeketbook had become- unusually clumsy. I became almo.-t hysterical, and that night I dreamed that I was using belt buckles for the coin of the n . !m. "There's one queer thing, though. You know I never could get It through my head how one made double change. You know what I mean-sonic one gives v -u too muc h change and then you give them some money, and it's ail right, or something of that sort. Well. I ne ver could understand that process In good Fnited States mune. with which I'm more or le familiar, but over there In Kngland 1 acompllshcd that feat again and again without a tremor.
