TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW

Where’s the Catch? A&A certain popular ciergyman, who shall be nameless, is in the habit of repeating his sentences several times over to enable the congregation thor-_ oughly to grasp their meaning. On. one occasion, while preaching in a very poor district, he came to the following words: ‘Who was John the Baptist?" He brought them out very slowly and distinctly, and thén repeated them. He then paused, and after glancing slowly round the church, once more repeated the words, ‘‘Who was John tle Saptist?’’ ‘To his surprise, a very seedylooking individual at the back of thie church shuffled to his feet and remarked with a smile. "Look here, guv’nor, I know there’s a catch somewhere, but come on, whe was he?’

If Nature’s aid is sought by the introduction of twigs, mosses and lichens, an open-air feeling will be conveyed; many of the ‘"everlastings’’ are most helpful, and easily be obtained. Colour, of course, should be the dominant note, enhanced by the aid of artificial lighting. Candle shades repeating the motive chosen, give an added charm. A polished tabie, with its ‘‘autummn scene, "can indecd become a joy, with its sparks of orange, and the red of the black berry toning in with the purple lines of the fir-baric, the latter forming an excellent sul:stitute for rock, patterned by shadows from the overhanging trees.
