Charming Lace Bonnet
By JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
ONCE more the word "bonnet," In
its limited, millinery sense, has a
place in the fashion reporter's
vocabulary. Many of the shapes, which
we call hats, might as well be classed
under the other term. There are so
many shapes that really cover the
head and are almost entirely off the
face that the regulation poke bonnet,
the Corday cap and the "Wllhelmlna"
cap do not seem extreme.
Germaine gave us the pretty model
made of narrow val lace which is
shown here. The lace is shirred on
fine wires and the art of the milliner
is set forth here in a way to demand
our admiring attention. A little frill
of lace surrounds the face and peeps
from under the very broad band of
velvet ribbon which is laid about the
bonnet. This band terminates in a
long single end, which, when not
wound about the neck, will fall below
the knee. The end falls from the left
side. The frame curves In to fit the
neck and a flat or "tailor's" bow of
narrower velvet ribbon is sewed to
the bonnet at this point. The combina-
tion of cream lace and the rich black
of the velvet is handsome, but this
pretty piece of headwear would be in-

LESSON TEXT—Jonah 8:1-4:11. Mem-
ory Verse 11.
GOLDEN TEXT—"Oo ye therefore, and
teach all nations."—Matt. 28:19.
TIME—Jeroboam II, klnf of Israel, In
whose time Jonah prophesied, reigned
(Beecher) B. C. 832-792, (Hastings) B. C.
804-763. Amos and Hosea were contem-
porary prophets.
PLACE-Gath-hepher, north of Naza-
reth In Galilee, the Mediterranean Sea,
Joppa, and Nineveh.
KINOS—Jeroboam II attained suze-
rainty over all the peoples from the Medi-
terranean to the Euphrates. "The writer
of the book of Jonah has presented accu-
rately the values of the historical situa-
tion. It was the unknown dlasterB in As-
syria, Just after Ramman-nlrarl had bro-
ken the power of Damascus, that ren-
dered the successes of Jeroboam possi-
ble."
Jonah was unquestionably a his-
torical personage. He lived in the
reign of Jeroboam II.. king of Israel,
in whose time Amos's work was ac-
complished. According to 2 Kings 14:
25, he prophesied the recovery from
Syria of the lost border possessions of
Israel. He is said to have belonged
to Gath-hepher, a town of Zebulon,
and his grave is still shown in the
vicinity of Nazareth. Gath-hepher
was about an hour's walk north of
Nazareth. Jonah was therefore a
prophet of Galilee. Jewish legend
said that he was the son of the widow
of Sarepta, whom Elijah had restored
to life; and also that he was the youth
whom Ellsha had sent to anoint Jehu,
i king of Israel.
I This little biography begins with
the announcement that God asked a
man to do something for him. It is
significant that other Bible writers
(Nehemiah, Jeremiah, Zenfianlah,
Haggai, Mlcah) begin the story of
their lives at the same point.' Our ac-
quaintance with Paul beginsr with his
summons to duty, and the apostles
were not known yntll Christ bade
them follow him. Jonah's call was to
go to Nineveh, the greatest and wick-
edest city in the world, and threaten
It with doom from Jehovah.
How did Jonah answer his mission-
ary call? By running away. He fled
from the presence of the Lord, as If
God were, in his mind, only a local
divinity, ruling over Israel, but unable
to see the fugitive if he fled far enough
beyond his territory. Jonah should
have asked himself, "If the God of
Israel sees what is going on at distant
Nineveh, and la concerned about it, is
it to be supposed that his unfaithful
servant will escape his notice, like
some defaulting apprentice lad, who

Artesian Water Prospect Good.
G. T. Bryan, president of the state
board of agriculture, who lias just re
turned from a trip through the Pan
handle counties of Northwestern Ok-
lahoma In connection with the propos-
ed drilling of artesian wells in that,
section of the state, believes that
there is artesian water in that coun-
tary, and that the only question is
whether there is anything in the wa-
ter which would interfere with Its use
for irrigation purposes.
"Great care must be exercised In
drilling these wells," said Mr. Bryan.
"Several people who have apparently
struck artesian water have failed to
benefit from it by reason of the fact
that they have fa"ed to case out the
sheet water at a higher stratum.
When the artesian water came to that
point it simply spread out through
the sand, instead of coming on to the
•top of the well."

Oklahoma City, Okla.—Scattering
reports from crop correspondents to
the board of agriculture for April
show that in several counties from 25
to 90 per cent of the wheat crop sown

or insect damage. One township in
Haskell county reports 50 per cent ot
the crop being plowed up, Texola

75 per cent, Canadian township in

book is full of this word prepared. We
are told that the Lord prepared a
great fish, a gourd, a worm, and a sul-
try east wind. This gourd was most
likely the bottle-gourd, often planted
to grow over trellls-work. It is thought
by some to have been the palma
chrtsti, or castor-oil plant, which still
grows to a great size In the Jordan
valley. It is so-called because It is a
five-leaved plant, one leaf of which
outspread was thought to represent
the hand of Christ.
Next In the acted parable came a
worm, destroying the gourd, and the
sirocco, driving its hot blast down
upon the sweltering prophet. Then,
by a wonderfully true touch of human
nature, Jonah transfers his pity for
himself, as an Ill-used prophet, to the
gourd which likewise had been hard
ly treated.
The divine question, "Should not I
have pity?" remains unanswered.
Above the stir and din and wickedness
the divine compassion Is atill brooding.
The argument Is very fine On the
