It was to She- I chem that Abraham came in his first visit to Canaan. \ Near Shechem Jacob sank his fa- , mous well, and the returning Israel- I ites heard here for the last time the : voice of Joshua. Shechem was the first residence of the Kings of Israel and was a city of refuge. Here, at 1 Jacob's well, Jesus met the woman ' of Samaria. Here the great Justin I Martyr was born. After the division I of Israel into two kingdoms, Shechem : became the religious centre of the ' northern kingdom, and Jeroboam's ' self-appointed faith degenerated into the Samaritan worship of our Lord's day, which is perpetuated in the old I synagogue which holds this scroll. This double roll of parchment, says I the Christian Herald, possibly the Fashions in Summer Fabrics. Summer finds us very much inclined towards stripes, in linens pongees, tussahs, voiles, crepes and the vari- ous imported and domestic novelty cottons. The ground of these mat- erials is usually white, or bhe na- tural crash or linen color, and the stripe, either a vivid or a soft tone, according to the purpose of the frock, or the fancy of the wearer. These striped materials are usually combine'* wit)h a plain fabric, corresponding with the color of the stripe, or the ground.! On the Russian blouse models, and the other designs, Norfolk, and the various' peplum models, now so well Ukad, the j striped silk or linen is used for the , coab, and the plain for the skirt, or ' vice versa. | Another Find in the Upholstery j Department Last summer we took cretonne from , the upholstery departfent and trans- ' ferred it in great quanbities to the dressgoods counter; still on the look- out for novelties, we discovered this season, that the plain and striped cot- i ton ami linen homespuns, intended for summer cobtage furnishings, weri.'

Cupid and Mars have always gone hand in hand, and the present war, as far, at least, as England is concerned, has proved no exception to tlie rule. At the beginning of the war, when hundreds of thousands of young men were volunteering, the marriage rate went up with a bound. Couples who had been engaged for years and were waiting for the time when their mater- ial circumstances would justify the taking on of new responsibilities, de- cided to marry before the man went to war, and thousands of love matches were thus completed. To-day Cupid is trotting along with one hand in that of Mars and the other held by Commerce.

Handkerchief Linen for Blouses For blouses, both of the sports type and the more dressy models, the striped an/i figured handkerchief lin- ens are modish.

With all its cares and woes, Its disappointments grim And all the grief it knows. The hopes, far off and dim, With all its bickerings small. Its hours of hateful strife. There's something after all That makes a joy of life. There's somethin every day Or 80 it seems to me That truthfully I say I'm glad I've lived to see. Despite the care and pain. The heartache and the tear, The sun comes out again And I am glad I'm here. There have been times I thought The end of joy had come, That all in vain I'd wrought. And sick at heart and glum I've heard the robin's song, The baby's prattling voice, And that I've lived along To hear them I rejoice. It's all worth while, I find. Each burden that I bear ; The tears that come to blind. The dreary hours of care Depress me for a time. Then splendid joys appear And life becomes sublime And I am glad I'm here. The Wherefore.
