Is one that includes a dainty little
chemisette and is quite simple at the
same time that it is dressy enough
for informal dinner, the theatre and all
occasions of the sort. As shown the
material is chiffon taffeta combined
with lace, but the season is prolific of
charming things and any light weight
material .is entirely suited to the design.
As shown the waist matches the
skirt, but it will also be found available
for the separate one which is sure to be
in'demand for wear with caat suits.
For this latter purpose white or co^or
that matches the costume is preferred
to anything else.
The waist is made over a fitted lining
on which the little chemisette is arranged
and itself consists of front and
backs. These last are tucked in groups
at the shoulders and are gathered at
the waist line, the closing being made
invisibly at the back. There is a novel

Feathers will be used a great deal
more than they -were last winter. The

bandeaus and cachepeignes, and are
illowed to droop veil-like on the hair.

outlining the round decollete. Below
the collar was a fulled but not ruffled

also with velvet ribbon, and the belt

Silk* For the Evening.
As for silks, they will be worn chiefly
for evening and reception occasions.
It is said on authority that white silk

or pale gray is being used to line the
coats of most of the handsome street
coats to be worn in the early fall.
A Graceful Shape.
A green felt marquise hat in a very
graceful shape was trimmed with a
chiffon veil of a matching color. The
veil was draped around the crown and

with a large silk rose, pale yellow in
color.
The Raincoats.
For raincoats cravenette is undoubtedly
the best material, but heavy mohairs

THE <PUL<PIT.
A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY
DEAN H. MARTYN HART.
Subject: Tithing:?The Social Problem.
Denver, Col?Dean H. Martyn Hant,
A? the St. John's Cathedral, recently
preached a sermon on "Tithing?the
Divine Solution of the Social Problem."
The text was from Matthew
xxii:21: "Render, therefore, unto
Caesar the things which are Caesar's
and unto God the things which are
God's." Dean Hart said:
?It surely was no just argument that
because the head of Caesar was upon
the coin it therefore belonged to him
and ought to be returned to the imperial
treasury, any more than because
the effigy of the king is struck
upon lue J&IlgUSli 6UV?C1^U luai. wui.
fore all sovereigns are hie property.
"You will notice that the Lord had
said. 'Show me the tribute money.' A
bystander offered the coin, which lay
in the extended palm' of the Lord's
hand. The Jews have ever been the
most precocious of money dealers.
Had the Romans permitted them to
pay their taxes in all manner of coins,
great would have been the loss to the
exchequer; therefore a coin was
struct, and there are still some of
them to be seen, in which alone it was
lar * :] to pay the tax. This coin had
to be purchased from the publican of
the district, who looked after his own
interests. The 'tribute money* went to
Rome, to the imperial treasury.
"The man who had produced the
coin had already acknowledged his
linhintv and had nrovided himself with
the means of liquidating it. The coin
was only of use for the one purpose;
that one thing was the payment of the
tribute. The questioner had answered
himself. 'Fulfill your obligation,' said
the Lord, 'and render unto Caesar the
things that be Caesar's, and do not
forget that the power of Caesar is only
the representative of the higher power
h.7 whom kings reign, and if you admit
the authority of tbe servant by so
much more should you recognize the
authority of the Master: render, therefore.
unto God the things that are
God's.' What, then, are 'the things
of God' which we are required to render
unto Him?
"If the Context requires that the
parallel shall be continued, and it is in
a sum of money that the answer must
be given, then the only reply can be
that one-tenth of every man's income
Is 'a thing of God.' Now what evidence
have we that this is so and what
is the purpose of the law?
"The ultimate appeal as to wbat is
dth must be the opinion of the race.
. .* the opinion of all men could be
taken as to the truth or falsity of any
proposition, that would be a final determination.
When anybody is in
doubt of a legal or medical question,
ho nniv cnintion of the doubt is an ap
peal to men of the legal or medical
professions. 'Counsel's opinion* is
taken, or the sufferer goes to a doctor.
If it were possible to extend this
natural instinct to the limits of humanity
and upon any question of
grave import the opinion of all men
could be ascertained, then that expression
would be as nearly truth as it is
possible for us men to arrive at.
"The Lincolnian canon is as 6nre a
rule as the most firmly established
axiom. 'You cannot fool all the people
all the time.' There are, at least
double the number of Bibles in the
world as there are all other books put
together. If the list of the libraries
?'awM Kft folrnrt nilf Af ATI PT1>
ill IliC nunu UC WW ??
cyclopedia and the number of tlielr
volumes added, it will be found that
in all the libraries which possess over
100.000 volumes there are 50,000,000
books, and if we allow that there are
as many books in household libraries
as in these great public collections,
which is making a liberal estimate, we
may safely conclude that there are
not more than 100,000,000 secular
books in the world. But during the
last century the leading Bible societies
of Europe and America put out more
than 20^.000,000 Bibles, in 300 different
languages. The British and Foreign
Bible Society turns out of its
presses seven Bibles, or parts of the
Bible, every minute, day and night.
It is. therefore, the opinion of the race
that this Book is 'the most valuable
tiling in the world,' as the Archbishop
of-Cantcrbury describes it, as he handed
a copy to the new-crowned king.
"The opinion of the race is that the
Bible is a book of truth; that it is J
what it professes to be?the revelation j
of the heavenly Father to the children
of men. Now if this be the case, it
would be strange indeed if this com- J
munication from outside our life did
not instruct U3 as to the great desider-1
I ata of every individual. Let any one
ask himself what would make him
perfectly happy and content In this j
present state of existence.
"The\eply would be: First, to have
a conscience void of offense; next, to
have no fear of death, but a looking
forward to a glory to be revealed;
and finally, to be removed from any
anxiety as to the necessities of living.
As we should expect, the answers to
these essential requirements of life
are given on the very first page of
human history.
"In the dramatic story of Cain and
Abel the three provisions for satisfying
these three fundamental wants
are plainly stated. These two brothers
came together on the same day, at
the same time, to the same place, for
the same purpose; there were two
altars and each brought material for,
sacrifice.
"The essential truth of sacrifice, despite
the immense ingenuity which
has been employed to explain it away,
remains stamped upon it. Millions of
intelligent men have brought an Innocent
victim to an altar erected to the
unseen but recognized God. Putting
their hands on the head of the victim,
they confessed th* sins which lay a
burden on their conscience: they thus
i ~ ~?i.
Kiuea Uie sacriuaai uuiuiai, iuc/
burnt part of it and ate the rest of it.
It would be an insult to the intelligence
of mankind to admit that all the
generations of men should, one after
another, perform sacrifice in practically
the same way, and mean nothing
by it. The meaning of its ritual is
written large upon its surface. No
sensible man could for a moment believe
that the wrongs he had done,
and which he regretted and would
undo if he could, and was prepared to
make what atonement for.he was able,
he could transfer t( a dumb animal bj
putting his bands on its head and confessing
his sins. Tliat innocen^ ani
mal represented some otner Being,
who 'could bear the sins of tlie world.'
The only nation of theologians the
world has ever produced kept dear the
original revelation. They knew there
was 'a Lamb of God tnai taketh away
the sin of the world.'
"That God requires of men a tenth
of their income, as a tax for the general
purposes of the commonweal, and
issued this law as one of the fundamental
rules for the guidance of human
society, is evident from the fact
of its wide observance by ancient nations.
One Instance must suffice. In
Plutarch's lite of the Dictator Camillas.
it is recorded that after the taking
of the Etruscan City of Veil, the
augurs reported from their inspection
of the sacrifices, that the gods, were
outraged. An inquiry was instituted
and it was ascertained that the soldiers
who bad been concerned in the
sacking of the city had neglected to
dedicate the accustomed tenth to the
gods. The senate decreed that the
victorious legions should make restitution
and that a cup of gold of eight
talents weight should be sent as a
trespass offering to the Temple of
Apollo at Delphi.
"The Roman ladies brought, of their
own free will, sruch liberal gifts of
jewels and gold that the Senate, to
honor them, decreed that funeral orations
might be made at the obsequies
of women, which hitherto had only
been permitted over eminent public
men. This extraordinary episode
proves how rarelf it happened that
tithes were not paid and how grievous
was the sin of omitting their payment.
The further history of this incident
also proves that the payment of tithep
was a world wide institution and car?
ried with it a sacredness which can
only, be accounted for by admitting
that it was a primitive and universally
]nw /if ttrtd.
"Three senators of high rank were
appointed to carry the restored tithe,
with the trespass offering, to Delphos.
On its way the embassy was taken by
the Linarians, who were then at war
with Rome. But when the governor
of the city understood that the rich
booty was tithe on its way to Delphos.
he not only liberated the Romans, but
sent a squadron of his own fleet to
convoy them safely on their way.
"This dedication at a tenth, for the
common purposes of the community,
could only have been devised by a
mind which thoroughly understood the
whole problem of the needs of human
society. If it were honestly practiced
it would be found just enough to alleviate
all social pressure?and it is not
a little to be wondered at. that the
public eye should be blinded to such
an exceedingly simple and easily executed
law, which could readily bo
enacted and as readily executed. Suppose
that every citizen comprehended
the effectiveness o! the law of tithe
and voted that it should be constituted
' ' i ? ? U A*- waiiM KA

the result?
"Consider the absolute impossibility
of legislating against trusts or combinations
of capital. Legislation
against tbe natural processes of trade
can never be a success. Tbe money
getting proclivity is an element in the
character of men. which, like other
characteristics, varies in different people.
Those in whom it is largely developed
will accumulate money naturally.
If all the wealth of the community
were evenly distributed among
its individuals it would, in the course
of a few years, go back again into the
hands of those who possessed the aptitude
of making money. The law of
God would tax this capability for the
benefit of those who do not possess it,
and for those who by various disabil
Ities gravitate Deiow ine nne ui ww
fortable living.
"The taxation of a tenth will be
found to be that exact fraction which
everybody can subscribe without distress.
and exactly that sum which will
maintain those who from various
causes are unable to maintain themselves.
All communities have about
the same proportionate composition,
and the example afforded by this city
of Denver will be applicable to any
other city mutatis mutandis.
"This city is composed of about thirty
thousand houses. It will be readily
conceded that for living purposes each
house must represent a yearly income
of $1000. So that the minimum income
of this city is $30,000,000. The actual
income is probably twice that amount.
But see the effect of tithing this minimum
$30,000,000. The tithe wonld be
$3,000,000. Now, by actual reckoning,
it is found that the income of the 125
churches, that is. all moneys gathered
for all purposes from the people worshiping
in them, amounts to less than
$300,000. Last year the incomes of the
five largest denominations were: xne
Presbyterians, $56,000; the Episcopalians.
$48,000; the Congregational lets,
$34,000: the Baptists. $31,000, and the
Methodists, $21,000. So that $250,000
will represent the religious income of
this community. The County Commissioners
expended on relief $86,000.
The four hospitals did not spend ic
charitable work $50,000. The other societies
which exist for eleemosynary
purposes, together with all the private
charity of the city, will have their expenditures
well covered by $114,000,
So that $500,000 represents the religious
and charitable cost to a city o!
165,000 people, of maintaining its
churches, hospitals and charitable societies.
The public school system,
which is remarkably efficient, cost
$486,000. Thus, for all sorts of charitable
relief, all sorts of religious effort
and for public education the city of
Denver spent $1,000,000.
If tithing were m force the tithe
commissioners would have, at the
least, $3,000,000 at their disposal?that
means to say that the churches might
all be free, the hospitals wide open
and well equipped; public laundries
might relieve the women of the working
classes; their food might be cooked
at the public kitchens; every man too
old to work might be pensioned; the
streets might be gardens, where all
such pensioners might have easy labor,
and every reasonable cause for discontent
might be removed.
Let the people demand that an income
tax of a tenth shall be a national
levy. The English pay income tax,
why should not Americans? The Mormons
pay tithe, and they have no poor
and no discontent, so far as the matter
of living is concerned. It is the law of
God, wonderful, simple and completely
effective, whereby all social disabilities
may be removed.
The constitution of the tithe board,
the modes of its expenditure and the
checks necessary for its rightful application
are mere matters of detail,
which would adjust themselves in the
first year of its national establishment.
Welcoming the Unwelcome Gift.
ft is more blessed to receive than to
give, when it is our duty to receive.
There are times: when the only way to
know the blessedness of giving is by
gracious receiving. And gracious re
ceiving is graceiui receiving. it is pm
to the test when there is brought to us
a gift undesired, or even unwelcome
because actually distasteful to us.
Even tbe cup of cold water, offered in
loving though mistaken zeal for outcomfort,
may be not at all what we
wish for just then. How can we be
grateful foi the unwelcome gift? By
remembering that the gift itself is of
l'utle importance, but that thr prompt
ing back of tin gift is the flash of
(Jod's image, the Christ-spirit of love.
And is not that, directed toward us,
worth welcoming? May we not be honestly
grateful for such a gift? Then
let us give out gratitude full, instant
expression, even to the taking and
using, if need be, of the unwelcome
gift God forbade that we should ever
wound a love that would serve us.?

A Joke of Official Record.
This joke is on record in the war department:
A young officer was rejected
by the war board for promotion,
because of defective eyes. The
mother of the young man wrote to
Senator Piatt, of New York, and
begged him to save her son, closing
the letter thus: "I leave it all to you
and the Lord." The senator wrote the
Secretary of War to to this effect: "I
have noticed that when a matter is
left to me and the Lord I am held
responsible in case of failure: therefore
I beg that you will assist me."
