I a the illustration It combines a blouse or guimpe of lace "with lawn sleeves and a skeleton waist . of pale green crepe messaline which matches the skirt and is trimmed with yruches of the material held by velvet but its possibilities are many. V^HRvfancy waist and half sleeves all ^P^chiffon" silks and wools are desirable. while for summer wear there are many lovely cotton materials, ana the under blouse can correctly be made from all-over embroidery in lingerie style or from muslin embroidered by hand as well as of lace. The blouse is made in guimpe style with sleeves that consist of deep cuffs with full portions above and which A Late Design b > ' can be made over Qtted foundations or left unlined as liked. The fancy or skeleton -waist is* made with front and s back portions, V-teh are pleated at the ^ shoulder, aad the half sleeves, and is i held at-front and back by ornamental t straps. As illustrated the two are sep- ( arate, {he guimpe being easily cleansed, f but they can be joined and made to 1 form one waist if preferred. The quantity of material required for ? the medium size is four yards twenty- f one, three yards twenty-seven or two i yards forty-four inches wide with two < and a half yards thirty-six inches wide j and one and three-quarter yards of all- < over lace for guiinpe and two and a i half yards of velvet ribbon to make as j illustrated. 1 Peasant TVuist and Skirt, ^ Similar to the bretelle gown fi the peasant waist and skirt. The ?fc5rt is made simply and is always w'de and full. The waist is a low necked rcrsd bodice, with straps over the shonl&ers. This is a very pretty model 'or a young girl. Purple and white foulard combined with purple velvet made a charming gown worn by an extremely blond young woman. The skirt was box pleateu and slurred alternately all around, and hung quite full from the waist. Matching the Costume. The fashion of matching every part of one's costume is being carried to the extreme limit this season. The hat must match more exactly than ever, and many women buy white straw braid and have it dyed to the desired tone. Milliners will have the straw dyed for their customers if de- t sired. Crin and horsehair braids are c easy to color, but some of the straws ? are very difficult, hence expensive. i Tailor Ktd? Garments. Concerning the styles in tailor mad< garments which are favored in the British metropolis, a British fashion magazine declares that "lovely greens dark blues, golden browns, and burnl reds are the prevailing colors," which follow out the game feather effect! that have already been so successful in heavier tweeds, and now, linked as they are with lightweight thin cloth^ will reign with supreme elegance. Her Parasol. One maiden witk an old white parasol has achieved a charming accessory, Last year the sunshade did duty with white gowns. A sligty; tear at the edge rendered it hors de combat. This neat? ly mended, its pretty owner applied a four inch border of white ribbon with narrow black edges and a figure of pink roses through the centre. This makes it very charming with her new piuk patterned white organdie. Summer Fabrics. Among all the variety and bloom In summer fabrics, there are to be found soft gray, black and white, violet and mauve tones for those of conservative taste. These shades, relieved by the soft flow of frilling and draping laces, are charming and modishJy smart, and are to be found In all the most fashionable textures. China and India silks are as much in vogue as taffeta, pongee and foulard. The Gnltnpe Important. There never was a time when the guimpe played such an important part in the fashions, although in old fashion plates of the fifties one sees Innumerable examples practically iden? tiCfll witn toe preseui y May Manton.

J THE PULPIT. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. JOHN C. AGAR. Subjcct: The First Temptation. Brooklyn, N. Y.?Sunday morning, in the Cliurcli of the New Jerusalem (Swedenborgian), lae pffstor, the Rev. John C. Ager, preached on "The First Temptation." The xext was from Matthew iv:l-4: "Then was Jesus led up into the desert by 'he spirit, to be tempted by the tlevil. And having fasted forty days and forty nights, He after that waa hungry. And the tempter came to Him and said, If thou art the Son of God speak, in order that these stones may become loaves. But He answering said, It has been writx 1 1 A 1 oVi?11 o IKXi, 1>UL uy ureau UlUUC suuii a. uiau live, but by every word that goeth forth from the mouth of God." Mr. Ager said: The gospel d:- Matthew describes specifically thre? temptations of the Lord In the wilderness immediacy after His baptism. The form of the narrative suggests at once tbat these stories are not history, but are parables, which picture the three general ways in which fallen humanity is approached and enticed i / infernal influences. And when so understood they become in tho fullest sense a revelation of divine truth to men. And so understood they .suggest at once that there is some sort of threefoidness in our spiritual experiences. And when we examine our spiritual experiences carefully we are able to distinguish in our inner life three distinct planes of thought and feelirg. The arst or lower of these three planes of life we are all familiar with., It includes all thoughts and feelings, all motives and impulses and appetites that have reference exclusively to our life in this world. This we call the natural man. Distinctly above this lies what we call ordinarily the religious life. Its thoughts and feelings and motives have primary reference to those interests that outlive our life in this world. Its largest and dominant factors are faith, conviction and duty. Faith and conviction are beliefs, though beliefs bave been touched and quickened by religious emotion. Duty is the conduct that belief or faith or conviction Imposes; that is, the dominion of truth over the lower impulses and appetites. Consequently this realm of the life is predominantly intellectual. Its dominant impulse is love of truth and loyalty to truth. It lies distinctly above the natural man and is cabled the spiritual man. These two realms of thought, feeling and action we can easily distinguish. They make up the twofold life of every man who is honestly trying to live a true life in the world. But they evidently do not include the highest spiritual possibilities of human life. There 1* another realm of life clearly set before us in the divine word, although few Christians know practically mbch about it. It is, in fact, the essence of all religious life. It is the life that is defined and enjoined in the two great commandments, to love the Lord our God with all our heart and soul and mind and strength, and to love onr neighbor as ourselves. This means that the essence of the heavenly life is love and whenever that gains possession of us, faith, conviction and duty will all be swallowed up in love. We shall see with the eyes of love and act always from the impulse of love. Love going upward to God and outward to man will be the sole motive power of the life. This is the highest state of man, the highest attainment of human nature, and may very properly be termed distinctively the heavenly or celestial life. There are, then, three distinct regions of life in us. The complete man is a three-storied being. Consequently there must be a corresponding threefoldness in all our spiritual experiences. And it Is this distinction that is pictured in these three typical temptations of our Lord. The first is a type of the temptations that belong to the lower or natural degree of the mind, the second to spiritual and the third to the celestial or heavenly. The first temptation is pictured as an aDDeal to a Dhvsical aDDetite. After the forty -days and nights of faetlng Jesus was hungry and there was nothing to satisfy His hunger, and it is suggested by the tempter that He convert into loaves of bread some of the stones that covered the ground. This physical picture has very evl? flently a spiritual meaning, which deals, not with the mere body and its cravings, but with the essential man and his cravings and requirements. It deals with the most universal fact of human nature, v hlch is hunger. From the merely material activities of his physical body up to the highest activity of his spiritual nature man is, in n sense, a mere bundle of hungers. And this is true because he is merely a recipient; and every minutest vesiale of both body and soul is a mouth clamoring to be fed. But it is only a small part of this universal hunger that we are conscious of. As in the body some of the more general organs make us conscious of their needs when they are not supplied, while the needs of the numberless smaller organs and vesicles are met by physical processes that we are wholly unconscious of, so of the universaPhunger ot the spirit only a small part ever falls within our consciousness. And this is so bocause the Lord requires of us only so much as He must require of us to make us Images and likenesses of Fimself. To be that it is necessary that we should contribute to our life a certain measure of activity and effort and co-operation and reciprocation. And to secure that, some of the more external hungers of the body and of the mind appeal to us strongly enough to prompt us to such action as is necessary to satisfy them. But in our present condition all the hungers of our natural life are more or less perverted hungers, which seek for perverted and unhealthy satisfactions. And this we begin to recognize as soon as we begin to see what the true life 9f man is. The first evils the truth reveals to us are the indulgences of wrong appetites, and passions, and cravings, and the first task the truth Imposes on us is to refuse to these wrong hungers or cravings the satisfaction they demand. This repudiation of these cravings we should find a hard task to begin with if we were not helped in it by a counteracting hunger. Am<Jng the sweetest of the satisfactions in life is tho annrnvnl nf tlinco wlinsp nnnrnr.il we prize. And our strong hunger for this approval makes it easy for us to discard reprehensible indulgences and pleasures. This is, of course, a purely selfish aim. and yet any aim or effort, even so dubious a one as this, to see what is evil in our life and to put it away, opens the mind to more and higher truth, which brings all things into clearer light, and this higher truth makes clear to us that disreputable evils are not the only evils we have to deal with, that there are many practices that are approved of and freeiy indulged in by ine world about us that * are sins we no longer tolerate, so our clarified conscience now demands that our life shall be purged of these conventional and reputable evils. .And in this task we are not helped by the approval of public opinion. But there is another selfish satisfaction that does help us. It is the sweet satisfaction oil feeling that we are good and are deserving of all the happiness the Lord has in store for all who are good. This feeling takes many forms in the mind, but in general it is the fueling that we are as virtuous as most of those we know and far more virtuous and kindly and self-denying than very lliany whom we know. This is the sweetest satisfaction our merely natural life is capable of and in many wonderful ways it holds us up to the work of repressing external evils and discarding all lower satisfactions. So, when the hunger for a better life has been thus far quickened in us, this is the way in which we are always tempted to satisfy it. It 1? described here as a temptation to make the stones of the desert into bread. The stones ol* the desert are the aspect that spiritual truth takes on when it is apprehended by the natural mind or the self-life. This is the aspect that spiritual truth takes on in the letter of the word, which is truth adapted to the lowest spiritual needs of men. There reward and punishment are presented as the motives for refraining from evil and doing right. It is an appeal to what is called enlightened selfishness. This aspect of the truth is necessary to start us on the way toward the heavenly life. But to convert these stones into bread is to be permanently satisfied with these purely selfish aspects of truth and with this selfish stage of right living, this doing right and refraining from wrong doing for the sake of the approval of others, and for the sake of the self-satisfaction it affords. To stop at this point, to be content with this attainment, which is a temptation that confronts, us all again and again, is to appropriate to ourselves the letter that killeth and to shut our eyes to the 6pirit that maketh alive. For it is making the letter of the food into bread in this way that makes it destructive of spiritual life. The Lord's answer to the tempter teaches us how we must meet this temptation. This answer is quoted from His words of warning to the children of Israel when they had just passed through their forty years of trial in the wilderness. To them He said, "Thou shalt remember all the ways which the Lord thy God hath led thee these forty years in the desert. * * * And He suffered ttiee to hunger and fed thee with manna, which thnn knewpst not: neither did thv fath era know that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, bnt by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live." These words, now quoted in part by the Lord as His reply to the tempter, contain the truth by which tills temptation must always be met. The temptation is to permit ourselves to rest in the sense of our own goodness and to; go on multiplying our good works of all kinds and refraining from all out-; ward evils, that we may multiply our spiritual riches and increase and deepen our self satisfaction. i This Js the besetting temptation in the religious life of our time. As the old falsity of faith alone has,faded out of religious belief, this more subtle and attractive; falsity has taken its place. Goodness is everywhere being made the test and measure of religious cbar. acter with very little regard fox the quality of the goodness. To this temptation the divine answer is: "Not by bread alone shall man live.'' Man fan no more live by charity or goot works alone, which are symbolize! by bread than he can live by faitb alone. What man must live by is everyj word that goeth forth from the mouth of God. We live by getting ouf life into its true relation to the divine life; And that cannot be done by recognising this or that particular aspect of truth and trying to live by that. It can be done only by an earnest and persistent effort to shape all our thinking and all our willing and all our doing by every word that goeth forth from the mouth of God. Loved Them Into the Kingdom. One of the greatest soul winners we ever had in Chicago was Colonel Clark, who spent: all the income that he made ?which was a very large one?in rescuing the perishing and fallen. He would go down to his mission every] night in the year, preaching as best hd could. "I thought he was a rather poor preacher, yet those men would flock to hear him," said Dr. Torrey recently in Liverpool. "He was always saying the same thing over and over again, and he did not say it in a very interesting way; and yet that great crowd would come night after night. Why did they come? Because they knewi Colonel Clark loved them. He had more power with them than all the preachers in the city. He used to just stand right up there with the tears running down his cheeks, as he pleaded with those drunkards, thieves, and abandoned men and women. ; "Well, after a while he got a bit ashamed of his tears, and so he said: 'I must not be so chicken-hearted. I must try to keep off crying.' He succeeded. Our hearts <tre hard enough, and after a while he shed no tears. But he got no converts, and he saw he was winning no souls, and he went alone with God, and said: 'Oh God, give me back my tears,' and God gave him His tears, and be won souls for Christ." The Discouraged Alan. Discouragement cuts the nerve of present effort and darkens the sky of hope for better things. The evangelist who coined the phrase, "God cannot use a discouraged man," was a wise preacher; he might also have said that the world has no use for a discouraged man. Booker T. Washington, in his "Up From Slavery," gives the keynote of his own success in the following sensible words: "I do not recall that I ever became discouraged over anything that I set out to accomplish. I have begun everything with the idea that I could succeed, and I never had much patience with the multitudes of people who are always ready to explain why one cannot succeed." Such a spirit will carry one through every difficulty, and over every obstacle. Speaking of a young mftn who was to come, an old prophet said: "He shall not fail or be discouraged." The reason he did not fail was because he refused to be dis ?J /Innrrono l "H <1n I couragea. xutr um uusoi-in, ?, ? not be discouraged," had a big message even though it was wretched poetry cod worse music. The sky is ever dark to him who keeps his eyes on the ground!?Service. Marching Orderg. The Duke of Wellington called the "Go ye into all the word and preach the Gospel," the Christian's "marching orders." The old soldier saw clearly that the command of the Commanderin-Chief was to His followers to engage in the work of recruiting. The obligation to win men to Christ is the immediate and imperative duty of every Christian. It is his first business in the world. German Army Chances Color. The authorities of the German Atmy have decided to alter the color of the u military uniform.
