Dyed pongee is a favorite, as well as the natural color, and messaline, crepe de Chine and the like are always lovely, while voile and eolienne are favorites among the wool materials, and silk and cotton mixtures show almost as much variety as silk itself. The waist is made with a fitted lining, on which the yoke is arranged, and itself consists of the front and the backs. These last are pleated at their upper edges and gathered at the lower. The sleeves are the new and favorite ones that are closely fitted to the elbows and moderately full above. * "When liked they can be cut off below the cuffs, making them half length, i The girdle is prettily shaped and forms a becoming point at the front. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three yards twentyone, two and one-half yards twentyseven or one and three-fourth yards | forty-four inches wide, with one and \ one-eighth yards of all-over lace, three yards of embroidered, two yards of plain velvet ribbon and seven-eighth vnrrl r>f ninr-p vf?lv*?t fnr tho holt Popnlnr Embroidered Garments.

Perhaps it is because tbe shoes and spats of the seasou are so extremely smart, or maybe women are growing more sensible. at any rate there are more short skirts to be seen than ever before.

It is to be a fad the coining season to wear sets of accessories that match. Thus a flowered parasol will be accompanied by a flowered bodice girdle, the hat corresponding iu color at least, the color idea again manifested in the pretty stockings that are sure to be in evidence with short skirts, and the pump style of low shoes which is to be woru. A Feature in Military Braiding. Military braiding is a feature of mauy of the imported coats aud tailor costumes. ' ' ^ ' ' ' '' " ' I fry Ihijvgs, . Faucy Yoke W'uUt, The dainty waist, made in lingerie > style, is a pronounced and couspicuous favorite of fashion, not alone for muslin, lawn and the like, but also for the light weight silks and wools, which are similarly treated. This one is exceptional^ charming and is trimmed with lace insertion that is applied after a quite novel and most effective manner, while it allows a choice of the favorite three-quarter or full-length sleeves. In this instance white Ferslan lawn is combined with a yoke of tucking and with cuffs that are made of alternate bands of insertion and of puffing, but there are a great many variations that might be suggested. The yoke of plain \ material is always pretty, while the tucked and inserted materials are almost numberless. Again, when made of silk either tucked, plain or inserted material can be utilized, there being almost no limit to be set to individual j taste and preference. Lingerie mate- j rials are, as a matter of course, made j unlined. but silk, wool and the like are ; apt to give greater satisfaction when I the foundation is used. The waist is made with a fitted lining i that can be used or omitted as ma- j terial renders desirable. The yoke and | the full portion are joined one to the other and arranged over it and the trimming is applied on indicated lines. To the lower edge is attached a basque portion, which serves to keep the waist, comfortably in place without fulness over the hips. The sleeves also can be mounted over linings or made untitled and joined to the cuffs as liked. The quantity of material required for pgilp i the medium size is three yards twentyone, two and one-half yards twentyseven or one and one-half yards fortyfour inches wide, with one-half yard of tucking for the yoke and eleven ^ I yards of insertion to make as illustrated; five-eighth yard eighteen inches wide for deep cuffs when long sleeves are used. 1'arasoln Again in Vogue.

N. 1*.?In Holy Trinity Church, Sunday morning, the vector, the Rev. Howard Melish, preached from the text, "From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, 'Repent.'" ?St. Matthew iv:17. He said: I heard one of the ablest men in America, a man who had studied the popular mind carefully and observed it most keenly, say not long ago, that if he were young again the one message he would endeavor to bring home to his countrymen is?spirit, soul, manhood make conditions, not conditions men. Three forces are producing the opposite view. The first is materialism. Materialism as a philosophy is discredited. Twenty-five years ago it received tremendous importance through the formulation of a doctrine of evolution by natural selection. To-day it is not taught in a single university chair. But materialism, as a popular conception of-the wdrld, is more generally lieeded than ever before. In it God is identified with His universe. His name is Force. His law is to be found not in the Bible, but in the latest text books on physics. Man is an animal which thinks. He is a creature of his environment. When he dies he is dead as every other beast of the field. The second is the teaching of some socialists. There is socialism and there is Christian socialism. Christian socialism endeavors to make a place In so ciansiu ivr i^unsiinujij s cujijuusia uu the individual. Socialism is concerned with the economic and industrial reorganization of society. As interpreted by some of its expounders it is telling men that they can't be just or right or pure or houest or humane under the competitive system. To talk about ethical standards so long as men must compete to live is child's play. The Sermon on the Mount is impracticable; let a man obey its precepts and- he is sure to be thrown by the current of life on to the bank as wreckage. What is needed to make men is a different order of society. Sueh teachings, such feeling, for it has become more a feeling than a clearly articulated system, has weakened the sense of individual responsibility. I can't be pure living under tenement house conditions, i can't speak the truth in a modern pulpit or a modern newspaper, therefore I am not responsible for impurity, dishonesty. lying. The third force, laying stress on con UlU'JUC* luaicau ui ?iii, auu ou In?: individual conscience, is Christian Science. At first thought this may seem an utterly inconsistent statement. Does not Christian Science lay all the emphasis on the individual?his atti-, hide of mind, his thought? Not at all. What it emphasizes is conditions of thought. By methods which rival the methods of Hypatia and the Neo-Platonists, they endeavor to -work your mind into a state where nothing external to your mind has any reality. Sin does not exist. The suffering of little children in the Home of St. Giles the Cripple is a mere thought. The dishonesty of business has no reality. The tragedy of much of our tenement housa life, with its starvation, unemployment, <7.warfed lives, or the sinful luxuriousness of much of the "Fifth avenue" life are mere thoughts. Jesus on His cross was only acting a part. Such teaching has no social message. Christian Science has produced some beautiful characters, "Israelites in whom there is no guile," who recognize in Jesus, as did Nathaniel, "the Son of God," brt it has aot and cannot produce a social reformer to go into a jlack slum and stay there, working and dying for the kingdom of God, because it has 110 message to the conscience, individual or social. Over against '.bese three forces which weaken individual responsibility I would put the one truth of repentance. It is an old word with a long record. The vocabulary of some nations does not know it. And those nations have died. Wealth corrupted them, power made them arrogant, and arrog;;ncy led \o national madness and ruin. They lad voices wnich criticized and complained, which ridiculed and despaired, but no voice with thunder and lightning in its tone to cry "Repent!" But one nation developed a race of men whom we call prophets. They were men who tpoke for God. The word of the Lord came to them. And they spoke that word to the conscience of their nation. They made men feel guilt, they pointed out the right way, mil they inspired men to walk in it. And this is repentance. In circumstances when other nations have disappeared, as in transplantation and captivity, this nation was kept alive because of its sense of responsibility for its own deeds, past and future. That nation in tlie fulness of time pave birth to Christianity. Its immediate forerunner was John the Baptist. What he taught is summed up in the one word?repent. The rich man with self-sufficiency, the powerful man with his arrogancy are to be leveled down like the mountains; the poor man with his patience is to be filled up like the valleys. Start now; for the ajf is laid to the root of your tree and down y?u will come if you don't have fruit. Share your abundance with those who have nothing; cease to squander your money on clothes and food when men are naked and children are hungry. Stop levying unjust taxes on the poor. Abide by the law and spci.l: the truth. Take what you earn and nothing more. Jesus caught up that message a nil cricd "Repent!" John had been preaching to classes as the prophets had preached to the nation. Christ brought the truth home to the conscience 01 me individual. Eacli one of you knows of his own self what is right. Then do it. Otherwise your religion is si sham. Your prayers are words. Your theology is speculation. Only he knows God who wills to do His will. You have no pence in your soul, no joy in your life, but you are weary and heavy laden under all this luxury and formalism. Your money is your undoing. Turn from it. Besolve to seek the right and do it, comv what may. Your foes will be those of your own housebold. You will be as a sheep among wolves. But you will find peace and joy and will be really free. In thir. way He awoke the conscience of the Mediterranean world and quickened individual responsibility. How are we to arouse among us responsibility and quicken our individual and social pentance. But is not that preached by every pentance. But is not that preached by every evangelist? |>n are touched by it. to the evangelist as the Baptist and othrist asking "What e us to do?" the anoking, leave off the eep away from the eh. pray daily and This is the whole id other men, virile insioid character of 'aif ivi!. i {. Christianity thus professed. don't fighl it?this is flip ape of religious tolerance ?hnt pass it by as good for women and children. I appeal to the conscience at everj man and woman here to-day. We are followers of Jesus Christ. Now only I-Iis first word to the' world is repent. He gave many more, but the? all depend upon that for their real meaning. Until we truly repent Chris tianity for us is a sealed book. Hnvf we repented? We have looked ovei our personal lives. Here was * fault Here was a sin. There was a mistake We feel ashamed of this. Henceforth in nnr nprson.il Hyps wp shall be dif ferent. God torglve! And we feel forgiven. Thore it ends. Ends in an age where th?re is more wealth than in any age/of the world before: when that wealth is attained by some men. not by hard labor ol hands or brains, but overnight: in an age when because of this wealth there is more luxury in a city like New York than in all the world fifty years ago; where men and women live for money and sell their souls for money! What should repentance mean to-day? It is a message to those who have money. Search your consciences to see how you came by your wealth. Can y?u say with Zaccheus, "Lord, if 1 have tnken anything from any man by false accusation. I .estore liim fourfold?" You know and I know that many of our fortunes have been dishonestly, illegally and unjustly accumulated. By false returns to State officials, by false use of trust moneys, by false use of the powers of Government. by false business methods has this money been obtained. Rcpentance demands that restitution be made to the individuals or the community from whom this money was taken. Search your conscience to see what wealth is doing to you. Since you entered into the possession of money by work or by inheritance are you a nobler man or a truer woman? Or has money made you little-souled. mean, narrow, proud, extravagant, arrogant, supercilious? Give it away at once, every cent of it. It is better to go through life with no money than with money to go down into hell fire. Money is sending thousands of men and women to what Jesus called hell, *?-? +V?io /??fr TIiaw ffA+ o!r n*no lfh in defiance of God's and our country's law; they can only keep it by controlling legislatures and creating monopolies. And what do they say? They fall back on conditions and dodge responsibility. Repent. Fail? Yon probably will fail. Conditions are bad In politics and business. But God bids you fail. Go forth as sheep among wolves and fail. You will save your soul alive here and hereafter. It is a message to those who have no money. Money itself is not evil, but the love of it. the lust after it. Many a mnn who has not a dollar has the love of it. nnd Is giving his soul to get it. It is his envy of the rich that is sin. If such a man had money he would become like the rich he now envies, for his soul Is like his brother's soul. Circumstances may vary, one may live in Mulberry Bend and the other on Fifth avenue, but their souls are alike. The idle rich man in his club and the Bowpry loafer are one r.nd the same breed. One has allowed himself to bpcomo the victim of wealth, the other the victim of poverty. Both are victims, not free men. Therefore, to both alike, neither as rich or poor, but as men. conquered men, comes this message: Turn ye from your poverty and your wealth and with God's help stand forth free. Strip you. make you bare of this money and know the joy of bread earned in the sweat of your brow. Find work, any houest work, and do it like a man in the strength of the Lord. When a man stops blaming conditions and takes to himself the responsibility for what he is and what he has done he has obeyed the first word of Christ?"Repent." God's Sky Abide*. lie was a little fellow, but he wanted to say something comforting as his childish eyes turned an occasional wondering glance toward the troubled face beside him. The mother's heart was sad at leaving the dear old home and its scenes, the hills, the river, the woods; she would miss them all. Suddenly the little face pressed against the car-window brightened with a joyous discovery. "Why, mother," he cried, eagerly, "God's sky is over us yet; it's going right along with -us!" The mother smiled. "Sure enough, I dear, God's sky is going with us wherever we go, and it will be with us always," she answered, taking to her heart a deeper comfort than the child could know*. All that was around might change, but that which was above remained secure. Dear, familiar scenes, old friends, the sweet and happy past may all be left behindmust be left behind as life goes on? but overhead are the heavens still, with their tender blue, their cloud and sunshine. their countless stars, and the love that rules them all. Everything of earth may change, but "God's sky" abides.?Ham's Horn. God's School. In our Father's school are many bencbcs. This life is school time Whatever the word God writes on the top of your page?patience, courage, forgiveness, resignation?copy it over and over until He gives you anothei word. Never murmur. Do your best to solve your problems. If they are! hard, try hard. If you are in the dark say: "Speak, Lord, for Thy servan' hearetli." When you feel like complaining, listen. Be still before God David said: "I was dumb, I opened not my mouth, because Thou didst it." That is better than moaning and la nienting, but let us leap from David tc Jesus, and say: "The cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it." "Father, glorify Thy name." Sf shall we be made perfect through su? Coring.?Maltbie D. Babcock, D. D. We Touch the Goht. Some time ago, in one of our maga sines, there was au article entitled. "1 Have lout-hod the Gold, the exclaina tion of a deep-sea diver who had jusl come up from exploring a wreck lying in^he depths. The writer of the paragraph alluded to the circumstance? that often thus in religious life persons "touch the gold" without seizing, pos sessing and using it. IIow true this is! We frequent the sanctuary, hear ant] handle the Word of Life, get a visior of the Cross, put the sacramental bread to our lips?we "touch the gold,'" and still leave it unrealized from ycai to year. For want of a little more rc.so. lute faith, we miss "the unsearchabk riches" of personal fellowship with Christ. Character is a Growth.
