NEW YORK (N.AN.A.).—A minister called on a family in his church here and at departure asked if he might say a prayer. Receiving permission, he did pray, and asked a blessing on the head of the household. “Mamma, wasn't that a funny prayer the minister made?” remarked a small daughter at er_time. “But why, Matjorie? “Why, he said he Was going to pray for the head of the household, and then he spoke of papa.” _ on&nud’a version of prayer runs: “Lord, forgive us our debts, as we for- give our dentists.

Many or None May Fit Popular, Conception of Resort of 1 Gay Capital. | Ask me what I conceive to be the type of Parisian cafe standard of ele- gance and fount of wit, and I could not reply, says George Slocomb in “Paris in Profile” Is it that Cafe de 1a Paix at the Crossroads of the world? Is it Maxim’s the joyous, wicked Max~ im’s, still odrorous with sharp memodies of the 90s? Or the Cafe Weber, which | endeavors to keep alive the tradition of | the after-theater- supper? Or !'ou-‘ quet's? Or the vast cosmopolitan bas- | serle of the Left Bank—the Deux | Magots? | None of these, perhaps, or all of them. The real Parisian cafe no longer exists, and pi ly never existed. We look for it in vain, ‘and the search gives our lives the adventure we crave, Sewing Machine Weighs Ton.
