The Coat of every suit is made throughout by hand by one man, as custom garments are made. The collar of the coat is first basted, then worked into shape to fit the body form, and then the edge is stoated by hand.

The coats have the whole shoulder and open arm scye, giving ease and grace to the garment. The buttonholes are made by hand and the edges of the coat are thin and smooth, an effect which cannot be produced by machine. The shape of the coat is permanent, and no matter how hard the usage "Atterbury" coats will never break in front. Trousers the shapes single, are as and perfect by as hand, tailors' and art can produce. Linings and Trimmings are the very best that money can buy and every detail, even to the buttons, is arranged to secure the most pleasing harmony of effect.

Social and Personal A Week of Weddings lowed by a reception at the Boas resi- While last week was essentially a week of dancing this week was a week of weddings.

Two afternoons later at the same church and by the same pastor the marriage of Miss Katharine Minor Lestor, of Lynchburg, a friend of Miss Mary Hall, of North Second street, and Dr. Macy Brooks, of Philadelphia, was solemnized. Mrs.

Brooks was formerly a trained nurse and there were hints long before the time of the wedding that an unusual amount of romance entered into this particular match, The bride received her training in Philadelphia hospitals and the groom, just graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, Medical Department, was also connected with hospitals in the Quaker City in the capacity of resident physician. The most elaborate wedding of the week occurred 8 o'clock on Thursday evening at the St. Stephen's Episcopal Church when the Rev. Ernest F.

Gay Week in Society Not for a number of years has Harrisburg been the focus of such a brilliant array of aristocracy and society as during the past week and a half, during which time the flood of social gaiety fairly deluged the old town.

It was properly a week of weddings, but running through it all was a line of bridesmaids' dances, bachelor luncheons and elaborate receptions that niade the week a distinctive social one. All part sof the eastern country paid favor at the city's court and from as far west as Oregon, south as the Carolinas and east to New England came representatives who shared in the festival occasions and were made welcome by the able hosts and hostesses of the Capital City. The appointments in each case were complete and the decorations elaborate. Expense was disregarded and all efforts were directed toward making the occasions supremely brilliant. In many cases the features were unique and significantly appropriate and added immeasurably to the success of the events.

Following the bachelors' dinner tendered by Mr. John Clarkson Jay, to his friends at the Hotel Russ, last Saturday evening, came the dinner Wednesday evening at the Country Club, when Miss Mary Espy Boas, who became Mrs. Walter Percival Maguire Thursday evening, presided over a merry dinner party given in honor of her bridesmaids.

E. Lesson and City Union News Comments on nest Sunday's Chris. tian Endeavor lesson written by the lev, M. I. Stine, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, are herewith presented: Evening With Aretie Missions." Job 38:22, 93, 99, This is a cold subject for warm: hearted people.

Like some reserved and people, the inhabicold tants of the Aretie regions seem farther away than really are, because we hear so little from them. We know more about the people of Jodia than we know of our own fele low-citizens in Alaska. Our Sevripture references breathe the frost. But they are significant in connection with our topic, and algnificant in their own setting. They are spoken Almighty to Job, and are uttered" to illustrate the divine power the forces of nature, The Bible tells us (Ex.

9:22) how God once used hail for the chastisement of wieked people. The last book of the Bible (lev. 8:7, 16:21) describes repetition of the same punishment. Like all forces in nature, cold and its products, snow, lee and hail, are under the control of the Almighty and can be used by Him for the advancement of His interests and plans, When read in connection with our subject, our Seripture teaches us that God is present in the North Land, amid its cold and its ices, quite 88 much as in the boundless desert, or amid the waving palms of summer lands. Those souls who live amid the snows and ices are just as as any of us.

In the short space allotted for a consideration of this subject, we can only mention a few facts with regard to missions in the frozen North. In Greenland. missionary work was begun nearly two centuries ago, by a Lutheran. ToMoravians' labor in South Greenland, and the Danish in North Greenland, without interfering with each other. Greenland is now classed among Christian nations, although it was many years before the first heathen was converted.

The evangelization of this country is a most interesting account. Iceland is another Arctic land now considered Christianized. The people are described 08 strictly upright, truthful, generous, and hospitable. sdifficult to find an adult that cannot read and write. so universal is education.

Iceland is therefore a striking example of what the religion of Christ can do for a people. Of all northern countries, the one which needs missionary work today, and the one in which we ought to be most interested, is Alaska. It is no longer foreign missionary territory, and yet we know little about the country or the people. For many years the Moravians worked in this land alone; but other denominations have become interested. Much been done, but how much remains yet to be accomplished.

Missionaries tell us that the people are very improvident. Whiskey, the greatest foe of man, civilized or barbarian, is making terrible havoc since Christian Americans have entered the country. What is known as the anual dances, in which the people of one village meet those of another, to dance and frolic, are debauching and impoverishing. Our Government at Washington has endeavored to stop these dances. They are an impediment to mission work.

Whilst Governments are equipping expeditions to search for the North Pole, shall the Church continue in her parsimony and selfishness, to send forth few missionaries, and these equipped for their selfdenying poorly, Has not the time come for the evangelization of our own Alaska, and ought not the Christians of America make every effort to prevent the importation of rum among the poor, debased people? June Rally The Harrisburg C. E. Union and the Dauphin County C. E. Union will hold a big rally and convention on 4th of June.

It will be held in Pine the Street Presbyterian Church, and the programme will be one of the best that the Endeavorers of Harrisburg have been favored with. Local, as well as outside will be used. Mr. High, chairman the Music Committalent, tee of the City Union, is organizing a men's choir to conduct the singing and render several special numbers. The first meeting of this choir will be held on next Monday evening in the lecture room of the Pine Street Church, corner Third and South streets, at 8 o'clock.

If society having male voices will send their names to Mr. High, such services will be much appreciated. Prof. David E. Crozier, organist at Pine Street Presbyterian Church, will preside at the organ during the evening rally.

The Rev. Dr. John R. Davis, a noted Presbyterian minister of Philadelphia and noted as an orator, has been secured to address the Endeavorers at both the afternoon and evening sessions. Park Street The Rev.

W. S. Harris conducted a very good meeting of the Evangelical Society on Sunday evening. Interesting talks on the subject were given by the leader and J. E.

Newcomer, president of the society. A joint session of the Social and Flower Committees was held in Monday evening at the home of Miss Kerns. The members of the committees are as follows: Social--Ella Coldron, Elizabeth Kerns, Buelah Bartolet, Mrs. Albert Kerns, Mrs. H.

His subject was "What We as Believers Are." Some of the members showed considerable interest, and Endeavor. ers are urged to attend such meetings in the future.

Green Street Green Street The C. E. Society the Green Street Church of God held a cottage prayer meeting on Friday evening at 130 o'elock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Seigel, 320 Hamilton street.

Correspondence School Correspondence School Christian Endeavor has received another impetus through the leaders of the United Society of Christian Endeavor. Under the direction of the Rev. Francis E. Clark, D. a Cor.

respondence School of Methods of Christian Work has been inaugurated at Boston, and at present the school offers two courses of study, one on Christian Endeavor work, embracing all lines of effort that come within the scope of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, and the other on Junior Christian Endeavor, which aims to fit Junior superintendents and assistants for their work. To meet a demand long felt, two text-books have been prepared, one on Christian Endeavor methods by Dr. Clark, and another on Junior Endeavor Methods, by Mrs. Clark. The first is "The Christian Endeavor Manual," and contains 300 pages, covering every branch of the Christian Endearor movement, the history, principles, and methods, the prayer meeting, consecration meeting, committees, like the Quiet Hour, Tenth Legion, unions and, auxiliary organizations with a complete bibliography of Christian Endeavor work and many important appendices.

The second text-book is "Junior Christian Endeavor," is about the same size, and meant to do the same service for Junior Endeavorers as the first is for Senior Endeavorers. The complete course will occupy three months, or twelve lessons (the two taking 24 lessons), with a written examination every week under petent instructors. It is "estimated that two hours of faithful study each week, with an occasional review, will enable one to complete the course. A diploma will be given to those who pass the examination with a credit of at least 75 per cent. The object of this school is to train few, or even only one expert in every society.

No society could invest money from its treasury to better advantage than in training intelligent leaders for its future work. Superintendents of Junior societies are difficult to obtain their incompetency and lack of trainbecause many willing workers ing. The Junior course just fills this need. Dr. Clark has given complete information to a comparative few Endeavorers, among whom is J.

Frank Palmer, of this city, district secretary of the State Union. Dr. Clark says: "There is no personal end for any one to be gained by this enterprise, but only the success of the Christian Endeavor movement and larger things for Christ." Secretary Eberman It will be sad news to many thousands of Endeavorers and other friends that the Rev. Clarence Edgar Eberman, the well-known Field Secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, fell at his post the victim of typhoid fever, at Banff, Northwest Territories, on Easter Sunday, April 12th. Mr.

Eberman had just completed that part of an arduous winter's campaign that lay in the western part of the United States and had crossed into British Columbia, accompanied by Mrs. Eberman, to meet a number of engagements. Mr. Eberman was born of German Moravian ancestry, in 1863, Bethlehem, Pa. was educated in Bethlehem, at the Moravian College and Theological Seminary, and served Moravian churches at Castleton Corners, Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Lancaster, Pa.

From 1898 to 1901 he was president of the Pennsylvania Christian Endeavor Union, and it was his "headquarters-in-the-saddle" campaign of organization in this State that brought him into prominence as a leader and organizer. In 1901 he was called to be Field Secretary of the United Society and since then he has steadily added to the friends he had already won at International and State conventions, until the loss of few men Endeavor circles could be more widely felt or deeply mourned. He was a large man physically, with a strong but genial face, an optimistic outlook and a winsome personality. He was just in his prime and had made for himself a wide field of usefulness, from which he is sadly missed. Derry Street U.

B. J. E. Gipple has been appointed chairman of the Lookout Committee to succeed S. D.

Clark, who has resigned. Mr. Clark was a very active worker in the society and was greatly missed by his fellow workers, but the society has secured in the person of Mr. Gipple, one well-fitted to take the place. The missionary committee met on Monday evening the home of Miss Margaret Brenna tan, 210 South Fifteenth street.

The prayer service on Sunday evening was very well attended and an interesting meeting was the result, an active part being taken by nearly everyone present. Augsburg Lutheran One of the best socials in the recent history of the society was held on Tuesday evening at the home of S. Frank Van Ormer, corner Sixth and Forrest streets, under the auspices of missionary committee, assisted by the Social Committee.
