This one shows certain modifications that render it adapted ' to modern needs and is suited to a great variety of materials. As illus| trated it is made of black taffeta, the ?j|y i yoko and cuffs being embroidered with black silk, while the little vest is of black and white material, but : plain material can be used throughout, the yoke can be trimmed in any way that may be liked or it can be 3 of heavy lace over silk while the skirt portion is of silk only, in fact j can be treated in any way that the inr dividual may like. The ribbons tbat are threaded in and out of slashes, j cut and finished for the purpose, r make an exceedingly attractive feature but are not obligatory as any other form of closing that may be j preferred can be employed without cliangiug the essential characteristics of the coat. The coat is made with the yoke, the front edges of which are faced to give tne vest eneci, ana wun iue fronts and barks of the full portions. The lower edge of the yoke Is finished with a band of the material I stitched with beldlng silk. The - sleevea are of moderate sizo, closely shirred at the shoulders, and finished a with roll-over cuffs that are by far 3 the mopt becoming of any known, i, The quantity of material required Y for the medium size is ei^ht yards twenty-seven, five and three-fourth y Modish Belts. ' The belt to wear just now is made - of either taffeta, or linen. It should r be in white and its shape should be rather wide, coming up well toward - the bust line; it is also slightly - curved, so as to fit the hips. If well e planned, it will give something the effect of a princess when clasped - around the waist; but, of course, it e should be exquisitely fitted or it will '? be a sad failure. 0 This very plain, wide white girdle d is very trying to the figure and, to e make it Jess so, there are various exy pedients which one can employ, such as the application of white lace butd terflies. These are put on the girdle e in such a way that they almost cne circle it as though the butterflies >- were touching wings and flying around the belt line. The new leatht er belts are fitted below the hips in> stead of above. n o Handsome Corset Cover, y One corset cover in a very handu some trousseau has its entire front 0 hand embroidered. ] ??? *- | ; yards forty-four or five and one-half < yards fifty-two inches wide for full \ length; six and one-half yards twen- * ty-seven, four and seven-eight yards ^ forty-four or four and one-half yards ( fifty-two inches wide for three-quar- t ter length with one-half yard any width for the vest, two yards of band- ' ing and three and one-half yards of t ribbon to make as illustrated. i ' Autumn Color*. j ' Autumn dresses will be built of very thin cloth and their colors will ? be the new greens, the new blues, the "* new reds and the new tans. j They say that green, which has : had such a phenomenal success, will be seen this fall in leaf green, gooseberry green and prairie green. It will also be noticcd in emerald, grass, geranium and deep leaf green. While speaking of the new fall colors one must not forget the leather shades, which are always much liked. There is tan which is the most popular shade of leather ever invented, and there is a pale suede leather. i Misses' Skirt. The skirt that is plaited or tucked in various ways is constantly growing in favor and may fairly be said to be the most fashionable at the present time. This one is designed for young girls and is treated after a quite novel manner while it can be worn either with or without the smoothly fitted girdle. In the illustration it is made of plaid mohair stitched with belding silk but is appropriate for all skirting materials, washable ones as well as tnose 01 i cotton and silk, while it can be finished at the lower edge in a variety * of ways. If the applied folds illus- j trated are not liked banding of any 1 , sort can be substituted or the hem j j can be atitched with belding silk. < The skirt is cut in seven gores and < is laid in plaits at front, back and ' > i 1 t i i ] i I t t t sides, these plaits forming groups | that are turned toward the centres and being stitched flat for a portion of their length. The girdle is cut in four sections which allow of perfect fit. The quantity of material required for the sixteen year size is seven and three-fourth yards twenty-seven, four and One-half yards forty-four or three and three-fourth yards fiftytwo inches wide. Style Loaders in Paris. Among the favorites of the day in Paris whose styles aro ardently copied are Mesdames Hading, Rejane, Grauier, Sorel, Lanielme, and Henriette Rogers. Madame Sarah Bernhardt, who is still the idol of the capital, also has careful observ ers, but few outside of her circle 1 know how much of the dressmaker's craft itself the divine Sarah's own clever fingers possess. "There are only two people in the world who know anything about sleeves," she is quoted as saying; "myself and my maid." The world knows Sarr.h's sleeves?those long, wrinkled, glove-like coverings which are the essence of grace. These she often puts in with her own hands, altering other parts of a gown besides to make more perfect the clinging lines her figure requires. Bands For Skirt.

EDWARD LAWRENCE HUNT. of nc bi Subject: "That They Might Have Cc Life." gi ca Washington, D. C.?The Rev. Ed- cl vard Lawrence Hunt, on Sunday ti< jreached the following brilliant oi iermon from the text: "I came that d< hey might have life, and that they ca night have it more abundantly."? H rohn 10:10: di Jesus' object was to give men life, m 3is church preaches this through her st: :hief sacrament: "My flesh I give for ai he life of the world." sa "Oh, the wild joys of living! ai rhe hunt of the bear"?are these fx he President's holiday words or H 3rowning's? Even that life is the o?< rift of God through Jesus Christ, is 'without whom was not anything M nade that was made." I si rnysicai me is goo a. mere is i sr lomething better. The "high mail" | in vho "would not discount life, as fools ai io," who would "not.live thus, but G enow" is "still loftier than the world al ;uspects." There is something higher jc itill. "To know" is not^eternal life, ti )ut to know God?and the gift of oi 3od is eternal life, through Jesus st Christ. "This is life eternal, that hey might know Thee, the only true se 3od, and Jesus Christ whom Thou pi last sent." y< To give man that life, Jesus must oi :ome. "I came that they might have bi ife." Why could not the living st Creator give that life by His mere hi vord? ai First, because death had passed g< lpon all men, for all sinned. The J< 3od of Law, who breathed into man's in lostrils the breath of life, when man cl recame a living soul, ordained the ui aw, "The soul that sinneth, it shall J< lie"; or, to put the same truth in m )ther words: The God of Love tc varned man that "the wages of sin tl s death." Man scorned love's tl warning and sinned. Then felt with- y< n him that sin is a fatal disease, hi 3o came Jesus.to put away sin by His ?aof Vi + V> o 4- o r ditv rrn r\ rl ^ + V r\t jven so might grace reign through tc righteousness, unto eternal life ir through Jesbs Christ. -f? "Grace" means He died for our P sins that we, set free from sin, made c< ilive unto God, might live. He came,. s? :hen, to free us from that death ic vhich means separation from the liv- M ng God; to reconcile us to God in , )ne only way, by death, so that here in earth we might live with God. ind, further, He came to free us a] !rom the fear of that death which is a] :he blowing out of th? candle. By u. ising from the dead, and so bring- w ng life and immortality to light by Eiis Gospel, He inspires the hope of Q1 mmortality. Hence we do not Stretch lame hands of faith and grope, 01 And faintly trust the larger hope, 3ut we lay strong hold on the hope ^ set' before us. as an anchor of the 11 soul, sure and steadfast, entering in- P' :o that -within the veil. > sc This eternal life must be laid hold s? >f by man, "I came that they might," li lot'must. Man gets it by faith: "He P! hat liveth and believeth on Me shall ei lever die." It is "whosoever be- " ieveth" that "need not perish, but lave eternal life." P( Remember eternal life is not mere Juration. Jesus is the quality. How, " lot how long, we live; and because m )f quality, endurance: "No one is C( ible to snatch them out of My P1 father's hand." To know God, to share His life, to walk in love with m lim until God is tired of you, means L o live with Him forever. Second, He came because man \ pust have a teacher and an example )f the best life. "If when we were ;nemies we were reconciled to God >y the death of His Son, much more, F" )eing reconciled, we shall be saved K iy His life." ? Jesus' life is the hope of the race. ' Dne man has lived in the fullest lealthy exercise of all his powers? 10 man need despr*r. The ideal has ji aeen realized. He has also given is the secret of success. It is willing surrender to God. It is to learn tt 3od's purposes and with loving sympathy work them out with Him. , fhis involves first and alwavs the , , lestruction of selfishness. It means h ve must follow Christ. And "If any _ nan will come after Me, let him deny limself and take up his cross. For le that will gain his life shall lose it: jut he that will lose his life for My take shall find it." . . y( Except a corn of wheat shall fall 0j nto the ground and die, it ahideth y( )y itself alone. But if it die it shall n! ive abundantly. What a pitiable w ime the mean, selfish man must have p] :o abide alone here on earth with ;he grasping fellow even he himself lespises. And if at last, in disgust tJ] it himself, he should follow the ex- ie unple of a Judas (whose association sl vith Jesus gave him at least enough d :onception of a true manhood to be m'ough disgusted with himself to kill limself)?then? Then he must keep p >n'"abiding by himself alone,"-forjver with a murderer, alone. , J? Judas?Jesus! Grasping?giving! 1 tVhicli will you follow?

Except ye eat the flesh of the Son Man and drink His blood ye have ) life in you." "I am the living ead, the bread of God 'which imeth down from Heaven and veth life unto the world." A shallow infldel with flippant wit tiled this the "cannibalism of the lurch." This is not a church queson. It is as practical as the call ! the doctor on which your life spends. It is more vital. Jesus ires little about our formal worship, e cares much about our daily coaact. He cares most about our real otives, our inmost life. The most iperficial thought must convince ly man that we can have no lifeive from the God in whom we live id move and have our being; and, irthermore, that we must receive is life through the channels of His vn appointing. His channel for us the Son of Man. "If ye abide in e and My words abide in you, ye lall ask what ye will of life and it lall be yours. If any man live not i Me, he will be a withered branch ad be burned. If you live in Me, od will break. forth into glory of sundant fruit in your life. Your >y will be full, your peace undisirbed, .a puzzle to men in the world trouble, your strength as the rength of God." Richard Mansfield's most thrilling :ntence is, when as the prince, derived of a natural childhood and juth, with the vehement passion a mighty stream which suddenly jrsts the dam which had long rerained its natural flow, he says.to is fellow students; "We are young, id we're going to live." This hunsr and thrust for life, abundant life, jsus approves.

Faithful Stewardship. One of the plainest duties of stewrdship is that we bring conscience ad deliberate consideration to bear pon our administration of this orld's goods. We are not faithful ;ewards if we spend according to ur own whim and fancy, and let jharity" depend, as it so often does, 1 little better than accident or habit., We are stewards in regard to what e spend on ourselves and our famies, as well as in what we spend for Lirposes beyond ourselves; our pervT?nl< i>n/l nm1r\ nvnnn/H+ihro mil* /uai auu uuuxvowiv vj vu* ivirigs and our gifts, and the propor-! on between-them should all equally ass under the inspection of delib ate conscience.

North Dakota eeems to have found the key to the question, "How shall we protect the people from frauds in manufactured products?" a plan which is applicable to foods, beverages, materials used in the arts, etc. A new Jaw has recently gone into effect designed to make it impossible to deceive people into buying inferior and adulterated paint unden the impression that they are getting real paint, viz.? pure wmie ie<tu uuu iuseed oil. Tje North Dakota lawmakers did not attempt to absolutely prohibit' the inferior pigments, or mixtures of rigments. They adopted the slogan,' "Let the label tell," and then left to the people to buy whichever they wished. Under this plan, if any one wishes to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground quartz and other cheap elements which are found in many paints and so-called "white leads," no one can object; for they do it with their eyes open. But if they prefer genuine white lead and linseed oil, they can be sure of getting it, for none but the genuine article can bear a label' which says "pure white lead." In all other States mixtures are often sold as pure white lead which contain little?sometimes no?real wnue ieaa. It would seem that were this same principle: applied to food, beverages and all other preparedtirtiWes, where deception is practiced upon the buyer, the question would be solved. It would leave us free to buy what we pleased, but would protect us from unwittingly buying what we did not want. If You Wish People to Like Yon. Don't be inquisitive. Don't be discontented with what you have. Discontent shows in your face. Don't find fault. Don't contradict people, even though you know you are right. Don't repeat unpleasant things.
