New York City.?The over waist [ in all its variations continues to be a favorite of the fashionable world and it allows of so many different effects and such charming treatment that the fact is easy to understand. This one j is novel and graceful and can be j utilized either for plain material or for banding, while the blouse beneath : can be made of anything thin and j soft that may be liked. As illustrated, however, the overwaist is made i of embroidered binding, while the blouse itself is ot crepe ninon with ; the chemisette of tucked mousseline. ' WfP* The sleeves that exteDd just to the elbows and are finished with narrow frills are pretty and attractive, but they can be cut a little longer, covering the elbows, if liked, in which case they would be made with cuffs to match the chemisette, as shown in the small view. When the blouse is made with banding, as in this instance, the sections are cut separately and joined one to the other over the shoulders, but when it is cut from plain material there is no need of such joinings. In either case the over waist and the blouse are joined at their lower edges and are attached to a foundation girdle over which the draped one is arranged. The blouse is made with front and backs and is faced to form the chemisette, the material beneath being cut away when a transparent effect is c2e-! sired. The larger portions of the over blouse are cut in one piece each with the centre front portion separate, and are arranged over the blouse, which is gathered at the lower edge and joined to the girdle. The sleeves are moderately full and are arranged over fitted linings which are faced ! to form the cuffs of the three-quarter sleeves or trimmed with frills of lacein the case of the elbow sleeves. The quantity of material required for the medium size is, for the blouse, two and a half yards twenty-one, two and a quarter yards twenty-seven, or one and a half yards forty-four inches wide, with three-quarter yard of tuckingforchemisette; one and one-eighth yards eighteen or twenty-one inches wide or four and three-quarter yardsof banding two and a half inches wide for the over waist and sleeve bands; five-eighth yard of silk for the girdle. New Neckwear. Often there is a scarf or jabot of fine muslin and lace, hand made, worn below the brooch. Again plain velvet ribbon is arranged into many loops and ends, the latter finished with tiny silk tassels. No one could complain of this not being old-fashioned enough, and yet it is distinctively new and smart. They are wearing them in Paris on the most expensive frocks. Waist Drapery. The drapery on the waist is a logical development of the surplice and : fichu effects and of the lsimoco sleeve, j Newest Colors. The newest colors are strong tone, and are either becoming or qu the opposite. Lines of black sei to tone down the vividness of ma of the new materials. Black Velvet I>Jts. In making up a black spang] robe over a ruffle of pleated chiff it is a clever idea to connect the t' by sewing to the ruffle at regular i tervals big disks of black velvet. Waistcoats For Suits. Some vests for suits are made knife-pleated taffeta, one shade ligl er than the suit, sewn like a nil inside- the jacket. These silk vei are more becoming to some figui than the stiff, tight-fitting vest of e broidery and braid, but they detr< greatly from the tailored appearan< and are, therefore, not likely to ta the place of the latter. Fancy Blouse Waist. The pretty fancy blouse waist the one most in demand at the n ment both for the entire gown a for the odd blouse.

A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON DR. JOHN F. CARSCN. i Subject: Signs of Progress. Brooklyn. N. Y.?Sunday the R Dr. John F. Carson, pastor of the C 1D tral Presbyterian Church, pread its a stirring sermon on "Signs of P vf ' gress." The text was from 1 Chr nv I icles 3 2:32: "Men that had und j standing of the times." Here some of the things ho said: Any student of our age will find ! existing conditions much that w ed | against truth and righteousness i on honor, and that threatens manht wo and the social order. In the politi lu- world there is corruption.

In the industrial world th is unfairness and injustice.

In the soc n(j world there are wrongs. The r ile domineer in their swollen pride a . j flount their extravagance, in the fi j of the poor; the poor sin and suff ie? because herded in poverty a I squalor. In all our life is the spi ir- of unrest and discontent. Sati lar and languid weariness in parlor a jle salon, suffering and sighing in wo 3ft shop and in tenement. jje If you tell mc that there are i j, scrupulous men who operate schen , . of high finance, I would remind j le that the sentiment of the day is ae- strong that many of these men fine st- convenient to seek homes in otl ire lands. If you tell me that there =d. corporate theft and labor intoieran iei I would remind you that, as ne' UU before, there is a demand for the p ?? of justice and equity in al! relatio , If you tell me that the rich are d antly extravagant and thai the p n? erty of the poor is appalling, 1 woi remind you that there never has b< iIe a time when the money of the r ? was so readily at the services of 1 people as it is to-day through scho< colleges, libraries, homes, hospit and innumerable agencies and insti tions; and when you cail my att tion to the condition of the s merged, I would remind you of i time wnt n most people were slav and I wculd challenge your thouj to the fact that there never has b< a time when the middle class was well off as it is to-day. If you c my attention to the deplorable ho ing of the East Side poor, I will t to your mind the report of the IV sionary Society for the Poor of N York, issued in 1817, which deploi the existence of small houses, e? crowded with from four to twe families, often two and three famil living in a room, and of all color If you tell me of the saloons e brothels that are ruining manhc and ruling in politics, patronized s protected by political influence, I t remind you that when the populat I of New York was 110,000 there w | 1489 licensed retail liquor deal ! and not less than C000 "abandoi females" added to the vice and shai Of course, there is more actual and shame in a city of four milli< of people than there was in a city o hundred thousand, but I am p suaded that an honest study of con tions will disclose that New York C is proportionately better to-day tl it was a hundred years ago. Th are dark, deadly things in our con tions, but the moral tone and the e ical standard is higher than it e was, and our black things appear the blacker because they are viev in the light of a whiter backgrou There are gigantic evils in our 1: hut a gigantic battle is being waj against them. The struggle is bitt but there are signs that it is not frt less. The throes of to-day are 1 birth pangs of a better to-morn The light of that to-morrow begins dawn. Its sun is piercing the da j ness. The east is aglow. The glea j of a new radiance begin to ilium j the horizon. nrsi, 1 can your au.enuon 10 demand for the play of righteousn in all our life?political, social ? commercial. There is a new z wide ethical awakening in all < land. Never has the demand l)< _ so insistent that men shall be hon jg ! in the administration of sacred tru h I committed to them. And the gr 1 majority of our financiers are no ise i meeting that command. We are : he | ing in a period of investigation ? ig, j criticism. It is well. It is a heal he ful tone, if men are sane enough mi discriminate. But men are not ire w?ys that sane. In the presence ns these investigations suspicion ere into the mind and men are temp ' ' to think that all men are dishen because some men have been pro' as thieves and robbers. It is a fatal 11 take. I am persuaded that there ed more honest, fiber in the life of to-< nd than there ever has been. The v (vo investigations which are being c en ducted to-day are evidence of a C and higher ethical sense than ] heretofore existed.

In nineteen other States ad. vanced temperance legislation has 1 . - been enacted, while there has not j ' irii been a 6inSle measure adopted by any j 1 State favorable to tho liquor traffic. ' J \na An effort is being made in the present | ^ Congress to secure such legislation i ' as wili respect the rights and policy I J [Jvf of the States which see fit to prohibit ' " the liquor traffic. There is not a single case on record where a county, or city, or town that closed its saloons has reported a j decrease of business. Much is being I said by the liquor interests about the money which they and allied interests j? pay to the city, State and National . Government for taxes and licenses 1 ' " and the Philadelphia Liquor Dealers' Association recently declared In resold lution adopted by their convention. c?? "To eliminate the saloon would be to undermine the foundation of the country's revenues." This country does not depend upon blood money ~~~ for its support. The fact is the counlld try wou1^ be ^etter without the j traffic and taxation upon every other j?? business would be "lessened. For ?he every dollar that the liquor interests pay to the country it costs the counajg try $20 to maintain the asylums, . homes, almshouses, jails and such institutions as are created by the liquor ,.v" habit and to maintain the courts and j hp prosecuting machinery. The saloon j (r is a highwayman of the baser sort j V*! and a pirate of the worst type. It has \ simply been tolerated because it : seemed impossible to get rid of it. I ,jlj But now the issue is drawn, the battle j is on. The foe is adroit, cunning, re- i sourceful, unscrupulous, desperate, j ij' It is marshalling its forces for a conflict, the impact of which will shake | the land. Christian men must meet j fj this foe with inflexible and deter- j \ ^ mined purpose. In facing the conflict | . it should be clearly understood that i ;'e? the warfare is not against a legiti- ; mate business, a business which men ^ have an inherent right to pursue, i The traffic is on a status entirely dif- j ferent from any business enterprise. j . There is no inherent right to sell e ? "W- | p .g The Christian men of America, if ; J? they were wise enough, could take ; America for any moral issue. The J ?.e" manhood of America can rule.

The manhood of ; ~j.~ America, united in the effort and in- | " telligentiy directed, can, if it will, put ; ^ an end to the greatest economic and ; moral plague of the age by outlawing ' ~j.? the saloon. j There are signs of progress?a rad- j p " ical demand for the play of honesty > n in business life, a new movement for ed the Volition ?* gambling in all ' d places, a determined purpose to abol- j ' ish the saloon.

Everts Tells in the Home Herald * About the Movement in Europe ?Translation of a German AntiAlcoholic Manifesto. The following translation of the < inti - alcohol declaration, which was ecently circulated among the medical ind juridic faculties of the German J miversities in the spring of 1907 and ( received more than a hundred signatures, should be of prime im- 1 Dortance to all, but especially to our < jerman-American countrymen, of ( whom a great number still think that ilcoholic Indulgence is the mark of he true German. And now the thorough German sci- ' ;ntists declare for total abstinence. < Let us read their unequivocal declara- 1 ion as published, together with the lames of all the signers, in the May lumber of the Internationale Monats- j ichrift zur Bekaempfung der Trink- } >itten. the official organ of the German Anti-Liquor League: ' "It is a scientifically indisputable ' act that alcoholic drink undermines < he physical and intellectual stamina 1 r '1 ? V? r\ i ji me jiu inu. 11 ittuc auu iiui to luc moral welfare of the people more .ban any other factor. It impregnates the offspring with hereditary lilments and thus deteriorates the ace. More than half the inmates of )ur penal institutions have been actuated to their criminal course by alcoiolic indulgence, and about onerourth of the male inmates of the insane asylums owe their deplorable condition to the same cause. Domesic misery, poverty and criminality follow in the wake of this poisoner )f the race. Alcohol has been shown :o be the cause of one-tenth of the leaths among the adult population, rhirteen hundred deaths occur annually in Germany alone in consequence of intoxication, and 1600 vic;ims of alcohol commit suicide every ^ear in this country, while about 30,)00 are yearly added to the list of .hose suffering from delirium tremens I ind other psychic disorders. I "This awful amount of misery at | ^he same time entails an enormous | financial burden on our people. The direct cost of the alcoholic beverages consumed every year in Germany 1 imniints to 3..r>OO.GOO.OOO marks ' (nearly $1,000,000,000), or about I ' lifty-five marks per capita of the en- I | :ire population. This movement ex- j ] :eeds the combined annual cost of ( 3ur army and navy threefold. And , to this must be added the equally ( jnormous indirect cost caused by the ibove mentioned natural conse- 1 luences of the drink habit. 1 "The consumption of alcoholic bev- I ?rages has increased in an astonish- I ing manner during the last century, i md is still on the increase, on account | Df the unprecedented prosperity fol- | lowing upon the rise of the modern industries. But an adaptation of the . human race to this increased alco- ' tiolic indulgence has evidently not taken place on account of the directly harmful effects on posterity. "It is therefore apparent to all who j have a sincere interest in the welfare ( jf our people that one of their most ' important patriotic duties is to help stem this destructive tide as soon 1 ind as effectually as possible. "It has been demonstrated that 5ven the moderate use of alcoholic iquors, which, however, is rather to ( je considered as the exception and not the rule among Germans, brings no real advantage or benefit of any ' kind to the drinker. All the prevalent ideas in regard to the invigoratng and otherwise supposedly beneficial properties of alcohol in small loses have been proved erroneous by scientific research. Moderate drinking has a tendency to make the human body more liable to disease and to shorten life. Furthermore, we must point to the fact that it is the moderate use of liquor to which the lurso attaches itself of having become 5uch a snare to so many thousands of jur countrymen, in as much as it leads and entices them to the intemperate course which at first they not jnly did not desire, but positively ablorred. This consequence is a natural one on account of the inherent lature of the alcoholic poison, and Df the human nervous system. Even ;hough we were optimistic enough to Relieve that the latter would ultimately adapt itseli more to the continual inroads of the alcoholic poison, .he fact of the perfidious character of :he poison would yet remain. Hence, ;he practice of moderate drinking remains the ultimate source of intemperance. The hope to do away with my appreciable amount of this unold misery by exhorting drinkers to moderation has proved itself utterly utile. As long as intoxicating liquors lave existed, moderation has been jxtolled and intemperance conlemned, but with what results is ap>arent on every hand. The efforts oward moderation have never and lowhere set an effectual barrier igainst the alcoholic evil. On the )ther hand, eminently beneficial re- : suits have been attained in a number / )f lands by the adoption of a course j )f strict abstinence. There are now \ jver 30,000,000 adherents of this / tolicy in America, and over 7,000,000 < 11 Europe. Recently this movement t las also gained a foothold in Ger- / onrl io r>r>ttr crnwinc with ranirl I ( strides. The movement is an inevitable one, and as it is founded on both he ideal and the material interests of nankind, its ultimate triumph is as ?ured."
