BY THE SUL'PrA' COMM1TT13C. Exclmngo : Ours is a , very important church , or pinna to bo ; that is , wo plan to have our minister make it so. Wo shall pay him for doing it when wo find him. Wo are looking for him. IIo scorns to ho scurco.Vo are hurrying oust and west with open oye.s and oars. In the lirst place , this minister who is wanted must ho of line appearance. Our people have excellent taste. They would not care to see a man in the pul pit a hundred times a year who was not fair to look upon. A man like Paul , whoso bodily presence ; s weak , won't do. Wo are looking not so much for an Apollos as an Apollo. IIo must ho rather young , tall enough to command attention , of easy and graceful hearing. IIo must ho a man who always strikes twelve ; otherwise ho may have no chance w'th the committee. We slip quietly into churches where a minister may possibly ho found. IIo has no suspicion of our presence ; but let him take care ; if this happens to bo his headache day ; if ho has boon too busy in the care of souls to prepare his host ser mons for this occasion , if lie does not show himself today to ho always "on tap" in the mutter of eloquence ; then ho is not the minister wanted. Wo have no time looking up his record. What is a record ? It is a ministo11 wo want. lie must ho a drawing man. Wo do not mean a man who draws his salary ; they all try to do that. Nor are wo thinking of ono who draws sinners to his Savior thiough the power of loving per sonal fellowship and warm appeal. What wo mean is , ho must draw a crowd to the church. You see wo must have a drawing man. The Hushing church , only a short distance from us , has a drawing man who crowds his house to its utmost capacity , and the Roaring church , on the other side of us , is looking for a drawing man. It is most important that wo have a drawing minister or the people - plo will bo going to church elsewhere. Some of us do not fool llko going to church moro than once a Sunday. We must have a man who will draw us. Wo hoar about men who are trying the old fashioned method of drawing by holding up Him who said : "I will draw all mon unto mo. " Wo want a man who Gtin Uniw on his own merits and by modern methods. So lot us IIml a full house when wo visit churches Lot the minister boo to it that no storm kcops the people at home morning or evening - ing that day ; olhu ho isn't the man for us. Wo have no time to consider whether ho has surroundings to draw from ; whether ho la in City or town , among young or old. No matter what his predecessor did or what any man could do in his place ; ho must draw. Tliesulnistur who iu wanted must have a national reputation nt least ; interna tional preferred. Uon't toll us that reputation is ono thing and character another ; that Is an antiquated distinc tion. Some ono had the presumption to ask us the other day how n bright young man is to got a 'national reputa tion" if no llrsl-class church like ours wants him till ho has it. It isn't our business to answer questions , nor to introduce troduco anyone to a Hold that will give him a chance to make a reputation. He might fail. Some churches think they can toll a man who has the making of a reputation in him , when they see him. That must bo nonsense. Our minister must have a reputation on hand ta begin wth , it will help to draw and make the finances easy. No ono must bo able to find any Haws in our minister. When ho is compared with Dr. Pompous and Prof. Magnet the comparison muht bo In hlH favor. How else can wo make our inlUtonco foil and got the wealthy and aristocratic to at tend our churoh and pay the bills ? Oh , wo shall not bo too critical about a man'a antecedents. A college doesn't make a man driW. Wo cannot stop to inquire whether ho has built up a ohuroh in nunibors nnd In the graces of the Spirit , and through a series of years has shown himself able to load the Hock nnd food the lambs , to uovelopo the benevolences nnd make mon love his Savior. Ho might do all this and not bo the man for us. Some ministers make too much of u hobby of such matters anyway. Ho must bo showy , attractive , of national reputation and drawing above all things drawing. Will some ono kindly tell mo where to Una hlmV Wanted ; A minister.

Iron gray woolen fordtiroy Is a pouular utility fabric. It has a sort of pepper-and-salt appearance , and whllo of modluui lignt text ure , is warm nnd wear defying. Many of the shagpy striped wool fabrics nro made up IKC ! the chocks and plaids b as of the goods ; and skirts of this description are usually shaped after tno close bell model. The old-fasliionoa knotted fringes used years ago in various widths have appeared again , and are used in graceful ways upon some of the handsomest gowns of the sea son. son.It It inlcht seem ns if this world would bo n very delightful place If every woman were born pretty and every man were born rich , but who would dp the housework and carry on business then. No psychologist has ever yet explained why it is that when a handsome man and a handsome woman and a homely woman are walking on ttio street together the homely woman is always in the middle. Forty dollars n yard would seem to bo a rather stilf price for a orocado , but that is the amount ( lainandcd , ovi'u in Paris for the exquisite material that shows ( lowers woven to look like Gobelin tapestry in miniature. If people would only tnko a llttlu more euro In selecting wedding presents brides would not bo so burdened with a lot of useless articles , which , if they were to express their candid opinion about , they would be glad to get rid of. A very drossy peignoir is made of vloux rose llannol or other soft woolen material. The fur boa opens over n pink velvet front , and Is fastened at the waist by a silver clasp.

Exquisitely beautiful are the fabrics designed - signed exclusively for evening tollots this winter the ( lower dresses of I'ersiaii mull , beautifully embroidered In blossoms and leaves. Tnc fancy chiffons , gronndlnos , nnd costly India silk crepes nro all successfully revived. Morning frocits for children nro made up with bauds of velvet at the foot , pulTod sleeves tight to the wrist , ana open fronts. Charming gathered bodices crossing in front , with gathered puffsrarrlod all down the arm , nro particularly graceful forllttlo folks about uyoais old. The distinguishing feature of n now bon net worn at u recent "Indies' day" at ono of the clubs was very long black satin strings qulto three inches wide , which wcro brought from the usual point lu lha back , tlod care lessly under the chin , but slightly toward the right , with the ends loft to dangle far below the waist. A black silk crepolaluo evening gown , trimmed with Jet , was relieved bv n beauti ful tabllorof the siunc , which fell In a shower to the bottom of the jupo , and was studded with amethysts , which luvoalud tbemsolvos only by movomont. The bodice was draped with folds of cropolainu crossing the figure In graceful folds.
