S 9 himself, and in some sense is l!od. Sound reason tells hint
of his dependence upon this higher power and teaches him
the necessity of learning and observing its laws. This recogni
tion in some form is of fundamental importance, "to the indi-
aiul m national allairs to the nation.
One Thanksgiving proclamation strikes at the root of the matter:
'Tamest and sincere belief in divine guidance, deep-rooted faith that even
present apparent evils mikt ultimately convert to good, upheld the found
ers of New Kii'dand through trials that elsewhere utterly dest roved settle
ments.''
The stronger this recognition of the higher power the stronger a man,
or a nation, becomes not only in the trials of adversity, but also in the
more damrcruiis trials of proneritv. .And here we find an argument for
Christianity, which that governor may not have noticed. For the more
clearly the personality ol doit is seen the stronger ones conlitleiice in
divine care and guidance may become and thence the greater the power of
iu hievement.
Ours is not a Christian nation because n majority of our citizens are
members of the Christian church, for they are not, but because its found
ers were Christians and because its dominating principles have been Chris
tian. I'.ul constitutionally it is not Christian, nor Hebrew, nor anything
of a d nominational kind. It simply recognizes flod as a higher power
and in that we can all unite. Thanksgiving day means just that. It is
the only religious holiday that belongs properly to the whole nation and
to all the people. Christmas, which is provided for by most of the states,
is for Christians; and even Sunday is the Christian's sabbath, in the relig
ious mirnoses ot which Jews and many others nave no part, nut here is

English Custom of Making Butterflies
Out of Paper and Giving Prizes

at parties must not be ns boisterous sn
it may be at other times, and this
souse of decorum Is another of the
things n child learns when it begins
to Rive or attend parlies. Mothers
arc often at their wits' end to know
how to nnnise the children, for this
must be all arranged for beforehand
or the party will prove a failure.
A lady who visited recently In an
Knlish country house is telling her
friends about a chlldnn's party which
she attended over there. 11 was a
garden party, and the little ones were
all gathered together in the large tent
prepared for them, after they had
greeted one another and had some
time to get used to the environment.
Then each child was given a piece ol
paper, a pair or scissors nnu so.i.u
pieces of colored chalk. The children
of the hostess attended to this. Each
child was told to cut out a butteiily
ns well as she knew how and with
the chalk to make the Knots, anten
nae and so on. When the butterflies
were completed they were gathered
up and pinned on the wall, making
quite a pretty picture gallery. While
tho children were enjoying the re
freshments, judges passed around and
picked out the three best pictures.
l'hc name of the artist was on the
back, and when this was read and the
three prizes distributed, there was
tho littl-
ones, vx course, it neon noi ue u
terfly, but most children are as famil
iar with this insect as with any other
and, ut any rate, after tuich a contest
they will examine more closely the
butterflies they find.

Sensible
Man's
Ideal
Woman
By BLANCHE BRUCE
If it is true that no sensible man wants
a wife who wears high heels, corsets, artifi
cial miffs and who powders ami paints, it is
more true that every sensible woman ab
hors a man who is so effeminate as to dic
tate to her how she shall dress, keep house
and bring up children. It is a mistake to
put a woman who loves clothe on a par
with a man who goes in for green suits,
canes, and the like. It is a woman's duty
to be beautiful, while it is a man's to cam
a good income.
J lave the masculine kickers ever tried
to make a half-dozen puffs and then to
keep them in shape a whole day or evening-' They would then realize the
convenience of having Fome they could pin on tight any place they wanted
them. Iv hair comes down to my knees, but 1 wear a rat and puffs just
because of the convenience. When nature lias not given a woman enough
hair to make puffs she ought not to he forced to advertise the loss any
more than (hose kickers are forced to wear a sign. "I am earning only

Men fall in love with the artificialities of women. It is the brilliant
color of the flower that attracts the bee to the honey. And if a woman
is sweet at heart she has a right to Ik? artificial and attract to her the man
tin. u-.'ints. While a man mav "'rush'' the attract ire irirl and niarrv the
plain one, the right sort of plain girl doesn't want a man under these cir
cumstances. A courtship shorn of all halo and aroma should not win her.
and suoh a man is only too likely to ''rush'' attractive girls after marriage.
Powder is innocent enough for women when it is innocent enough
for baliies. And paint can make a woman beautiful at night without any
one's guessing why fdie is so beautiful. I have known girls who painted
for the daytime so skillfully that even their girl friends, who also painted
(at night) and who could detect paint very easily, would not. believe that
paint was used even when told so. Surely paint is not objectionable in
eucli a case.
A woman has a right to lake any means to win a man if she is will
ing to be equally strenuous to make him happy after marriage.

written by n boy In n London school:
"Clot hint; is an article which every
body should wear. Tho least of
this article is worn by savages or na
tives, which is a pleco of cloth or n
few lenveB or fenthers round tho waist.
In cold countries, same ns Eskimos,

and die of bronkltis. We put clothes
on which are nearly llko our bodies,
omo have caps, coals and trousers,
but women and girls wear hats und
frocks to tell who they are."
