Mpased on. the text of the Revised ing clause of verse 24, the remaining "portion of verse 22, as well as all of aise 23, being parcathetical. This enthelical portion is soimewhat ai- guous. The actual sequeice of events Wiil appear from a careful reading of fhe entire narrative to have Leen as; - fellows: When Jesus, after having fed the multitude, "withdrew again into the - mountain himseif alone," the multitude fried near the Seashore, hoping, ap- | "'parentiy, that he would again appear, even fhe departure of the disciples at ightfall not deterring them from their pose to wait for his return from the nhain solitude. A great many of em, therefore, remained in the im-| jate vicinity all night. But when he following morning there was o trace of Jesus, those who had ed all night derided to avail misclvyes of the opportunity to cross : po he lake in some of fhe toals that had "pul in near the shore for the night, ap- z parently on account of the severity of; =the storm (comp. Matt. 14, 24). Arriv- | ang at Capernaum, and knowing that asus had not devarted from the other | side with his disciples. and also that "there had been no other boats there | ieeept those in which they themselves id returned, though apparentiv pot safly surprised at finding him already "at Capernaum, they were curious to now how and when he had returned. replying fo their direct inquiry on is point Jesvs does not satisfy their ity. but addresses himself to their ence, pointing out to them that real motive for him $0 stently was rot an interest in the | or spirituai aspect of his miracles, | only a sordid craving for the mra- terial benefits which these miracles be- stowed upon them. Alluding to {he 'cont. miracles through which they had especially benefited, he exhorls hem to. seek not merely food. for the 'body, 'but for spiritual nourishment, hich has in it no elements of decay nd sustains life elernal. 'This food, he asser he is able and willing to be- ~ gtow upon them, os he has already done with food for the body, it being for this express purpose that he has been commissioned by the Father. - Verse 26.

The manna in the wilderness-- Comnpare Exod, 16. 21; Num. 11. 8. 35. I am the bread of life--This is the theme of the entire discourse of Jesus t«. which he has been gradually lead- ing up, and which he repeats again and again in slightly varying form (compare verses 48, 51, 58). 37. All that which the Father giveth me shall come unto me--Jesus has the ulmost confidence in the ultimate ful- fillment of the Father's purpose in send- ing him into the world, even though 1iany may reject him and refuse to believe. 39. I should lose nothing--Jesus agein expresses his ccnfidence in the ultimate triumph of the Father's plans for sav- ing the world. 41. The Jews--John's favorite expres- sion in referring to the Jewish authori tes, who almost without exceplion were hostile to Jesus, and who were con- slantly seeking to discover in his words and deeds cause for accusation against him. 42, Jesus the son of Joseph--As such, iaf course, he was generally and neces- sarily regardel. The mystery of. his divine incarnation would not have been understood or believed even if it had ween understood or believed even if. it In the light of this fact it was but natural that the fews should question the claim to di- vinity which Jesus thus openly made, though the purity of his Hfe, the au- thority with which he taught. and the miracles which he performed should have convinced his hearers sufficiently f«. gain for him a. respectful considera- {jon of his claims and his teachings. 4h. Except the Father draw him--The ipower and inclination to believe is al- so a work of divine grace in the heart. 45.

The bread which I will pive is my Mesh--It has been much -disouted awhe- ther or not in this discourse, and penecially in this -verse. refers either direat'v or indirectly to the halv wucharist.. This, however, is to be ques- dignod. and with Dr. Plummer we may ponsider. rather that "The discourse re- fers fo all the yoerous chennels af 'grace by which Carist imparts himself tc the believing soul."

These silk vests are more becoming to some figures than the stiff, tight-fliting vest of embroidery and braid, but they de- tract greatly from the tallored appear- ance, and are, therefore, not IHkely to take the place of the latter. A plain vest is of broadcloth, strictly, , tailor made and fastened down the sin--- gle-breasted front with four pearl but-' tons; while another is composed of al- ternate bands of Chinese embroidery, and copenhagen blue satin, running di- agonally down the front. A white serge suit is finished with a vest of pleated white yolle Mned with taffeta, and, indeed, the effect is far more attractive than it sounds. Another vest is of accordion-pleated black satin, bound at neck and waist in Japanese embroidery in shades of blue. Both of these last-mentioned vests greatly improve the ae of those women too flat chested to in- dulge in the plain tight-fitting vest. Some white and biue. striped linens aro being made up with waistcoat of the same material, cut on the bias, or else solid blue to match the stripe. Sometimes, too, these stripes are out- lined with a very narrow soutache braid, and on others the braid is sewn so that the stripe and braided lines cross each other diagonally. There fs no detail of a woman's cos- tume, excepting always her collar and tle, that permits of more variation than does the vest. Any ornamenta- tion, from paillettes to buttons, is per- mitted, and any color is desirable and proper. Quills on Spring Hats OLDEN quills are in great de- G mand for spring hats, and what could be easier than to paint over those that fail to match any hat at present in use? Sometimes, too, the Imported hats are trimmed with artificial quills of silk, and some of the new quills are made of chiffon on a wire frame, These last two are a great convenience, for in early spring days the wind plays havoc with the brittle quills, while happily wire cannot break. E FO weeks of penance? "7 _ Every ene needs a negligee for "warm weather, and in Paris the thin- -- nest materisis are shown in the shops made up into the latest of. lingerie. All of tke models shown today are made on simple Mneos that may be ' @asily feshioned by a clever girl, and ' the best part of summer things is that Shps for Summer Gowns HE costumes for the summer will a not be complete tf worn without sips built on the princess lines of last year. This does not necessitate heavy, elaborate undergowns of silk and satin. Ordinary figured dimitics and lawn may be used with charming combinations, and trimmed with lace and allover embroidery. Some of them are made on the plan of circular corset covers and circular pet- ticoats, jofned at the waist with a line of beading. They must all te made simple, so that washing is easy, and really they will be no more expensive than the usual lingerie for summer wear. Every girl will need three of plain white and two of flowered lawn or dim- ity, or elise five of plain white. Some girls will have them all in white, but trimmed with bands of the flowered materials. Of course, the slip would not bo quite enough as a foundation for a sheer dresa unicss it ls of silk, so many girls will also wear the "'pantaions- japons" so popular in Paris at the present time, These latter may be made of material to match ths slip and very full, with deep ruffies of lace, Some of the more elaborate slipa will be trimmed with Dresden ribbon and fine lace, and many will have little ruf- fles running from kneeg to feet. they are so inexpensive. Time is most. _meceassary, it is true, but aimost any ofe has more of that com: of money. The art of the French lies a e "7" not In value of 'material and magnifi- edity than. cence of trimming, but in their artistic -- combination of color, in their knowl--- age of lines and the possibillties of the material on hand, SS The first negligee is of pale rose Chine silk out in the empire style and _ trimmed around the neck, down the left side of the front and on the ki- "-gneno sleeves with a three-inch band -- of Oriental embroidery.

The gown hangs straight and untrimmed. from bust to hem, where it has a band of silver braid.

By ace dent they fly away in an airship which Tommy's uncle has invented. Landing on a tropical island, they are met by a littie girl named Marjory Livingston, who takes them in_her littia submarine boat to the house of Pro- fessor Livingston, built under the sea, The professor remarks how. closely Judith re- gembles his sister, who was supposed to have been lost at sea, together with her baby. A monkey flies away with the air- ship. Tommy and Judith had landed A upon the island. And were it not for the thought of the grief of those at home, they would have found their MONTH had now passed since "stay entirely pleasant. unusually quiet to- day. They had been spending the morning on the island. As they were about to enter the boat, she said: "Wather told me last evening he hoped to @nish his experiment within the next few days, and that he will then take you home. 'Course, I'm glad for you, but you don't know how lonely I'll feel after you're gone." Before the others could reply there was a sudden grumbling and rumbling. The water over the very place where the house lay rose in a great column, high in the air, Then the water sub- sided, and all was quiet. Majory shook in terror. "Oh! I'm sure of it! I'm sure of it! Roberts al- ways told me that some time father would blow himself and the house to pieces with his dangerous experiments!' Tommy hastily forced the two into the submarine, and climbed into it himself. He could now manage the poat perfectly; and soon they were fly- ing to the scene of the catastrophe, Sad to say, Marjory's fears were real- ized. Where the splendid house for- merly stood, nothing but fragments re< mained. Other portions of the great puilding were scattered about the sea. Pot a sign was there of Professor Live ingston or of Roberts. Realizing that further search was use--- less, Tommy steered for the island. Here they did their best to comfort Marjory, who was quite overcome with grief, All that night they remained om the island. : The next morning Tommy observed! "Jt doesn't seem to me that this is« Marjory seemed 'Yand can be very far out of the course of vessels, The best plan, I think, would be to provision the submarine and try to make a trip. Of course, we wouldn't go so far but what we could get back again in time should our food give out." { Judith agreed with Tommy.

So the three set out to sea. For three days they traveled swiftly onward. Bven the dauntless Tommy was becom- ng discouraged, and suggested that perhaps they had better turn back to the island, secure other provisions and try their fortune in another direction. But just as they raised the submarine to the surface of the ocean for a final ob- servation, what should they see on the horizon but a tiny speck, that after a while resolved itself into a great ship! Great was the amazement of the sailors when they saw the queer- shaped craft coming toward them on the surface of the water. Some thought it a whale; others a real sea-serpent, They were still more astonished when the little turret opened at the top and the heads of two girls and a boy ap- peared. You may be sure that, after the sailors hauled the submarine with its passengers upon deck, they were eager and excited to hear the story the chil- dren had to tell. The three found that the vessel was en route to San Francisco. This jour- ney ended in due time, Then the cap- tain very kindly wired Mr. Lee and ar- ranged for the trip eastward. Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Lee were overjoyed to see Tommy and Judith again. And Marjory was at once wel- comed into the family and made to feel that she was one of them, Mrs. Lec mothered and petted her to such an extent that Marjory, unaccustomed to a mother's care, loved her with all her starved little soul, The only un- é happiness, other than that of Marjory's loss of her father, was caused by the death of Tommy's uncle. The escape of his airship, coupled with the prob- able death of Tommy and Judith, had driven him violently ill. He was far from strong, and under this blow he sank until death came--shortly before the return of the adventurers. ' One day Judith happened to mention "had told her about her looking so much like his sister. Mr, Lee instantly asked 'question after question.

Judith, observing with surprise what excitement her story had produced, ven- tured to ask the cause. Thereupon Mr. Lee, after some hesitation, gently told her that she was really not his daughter --though he assured her that both he and Mrs. Lee loved her as one--and that he was inclined to believe that Judith was the daughter of Marjory's uncle. _ Judith was greatly shocked at this news. She begged Mr. and Mrs. Lee ot to send her away. They tried to point out to her very kindly that, while it would grieve them as much to part with her as it would for her to go, it would be only just that she should live with her father, when he was found, Mr. Lee discovered in England that the vessel upon which Mrs. Forbes and her baby had sailed years ago was indeed the ill-fated ship that went to pieces within sight of his cottage and from which Judith had been rescued, Altogether this proof, together with the embroidered name on the baby's garment, seemed to establish the fact that Judith was Marjory's cousin. After much tracing, Mr, Forbes was found to be in Europe. As soon as he received Mr, Lee's communication he started for America. And Judith was forced to admit that her father was just the nicest sort of man. Nor did she have to part from Tommy and Mr. and Mrs. Lee, for Mr. Forbes erected a fine house near the Lees' cottage. Marjory, who, by the way, had fallen heir to much valuable prop- erty owned by her father in Lendon, lived with her cousin. Altogether, it so happened that the airship adventure of Tommy and Suse dith brought nothing but good luck-- except to Tommy's poor uncle, with whom the secret of the wonderful aire ship died. As for Professor Living- | ston's death, Marjory sadly observed that she was sure it would happen sooner or later.

Mother, dear, can't I have a pony cart é¢ soon?" This was the only bad quality Jamie possessed -- always asking father or mother, or hinting to uncle or auntie that he! wanted a train or a bicycle or something else that would "go." Yes, really and truly he did so love to "go." Jamie wasn't at all satisfied unless it was real speed, He had already de- cided that when he grew to be a big man he would be a railroad president like father. Jamie was to pay a visit to his grand- pa. This he always enjoyed very much, indeed, especially since he woud have to travel in a great, smoking "choo- choo," But. Jamie was always glad to get home to mother again, too. So. that upon his return, no sooner did he take his lJast, lingering look at the '"'choo- choo" fast disappearing in the distance, than he was more than willing to reach home just as soon as possible. \'That evening, after dinner, whispered in Jamie's ear: "Dear, your father has a splendid sur- prise for you--the bestest surprise you've ever had." Bure enough, father very soon asked Jamie to walk with him out into the garden, You could never guess what Jamie found--'way back in the garden. You see, father had taken a whole rail- way coach, had it brought into the gar- den and there had fitted it up as playhouse for Jamie. All of Jamie's playthings were there. Jamie just couldn't speak. "why, father," he finally whispered "now I ean ride in a 'choo-choo' car all the time, can't I?' Then he threw his arms around fath- er's peck and promised never to ask for anything else.
