New York City.?Simple blouses are those apt to be in demand at this season of the year, and this one is novel and attractive, while it involves very little labor in the making. There is the centre-front, or vest-like portion, which gives a distinctly novel effect, while it also allows of the invisible closing at the left of the front, and there are kimono sleeves which ticoH r\r> nnt o c H lr n rl T n thp illustration lineu i^immed with soutache braid and 7/ith banding of porcelain blue, this use of color on white being one of the notable features of the season. The blouse is made with fronts, centre-front and back. The fronts are tucked for their entire length, the outermost tucks meeting those in the back, and it is beneath these tucks that the kimono sleeves are attached. The centre-front is simply arranged over "the fronts and is hooked into place beneath the left edge, the fronts meeting at the centre beneath. The sleeves are of moderate fulness and gathered into straight cuffs. There is a prettily shaped belt and the stock collar completes the neck edge. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and onefour yards twenty-one, twenty-four or thirty-two, two and three-fourth yards forty-four inches wide, with four yards of banding and soutache, ?rrnrdiri2 to desiern used. Taffetas Mantelots. Evidently repenting of her lack of consideration for the woman who has passed the rubicon of middle age, La ' Mode has issued an imperative command that taffetas mantelots which merely silhouette the figure shall be worn with suede or satin-faced cloth skirts. Such toilets are instinct with artistic merit, the rouleaux trimming on these little wraps being as novel as it is effective. Band of Colored Linen. A novel piece of neckwear consists of a band of colored linen that surrounds the lower part of the white linen collar, meets at the front and falls from there to tne Deit, Deing closed all the way down with white pearl buttons and forming a waistcoat effect when the suit coat is buttoned. Braid Embroidery. A soft peach colored cloth was embroidered with braid of precisely the same tone. The braiding made a pattern across the front in panel shape all the way up to the neck, while the same trimming was used at each side auu IU LUC UI1UUJC U1 LUC UdlA, Craze For Buttons. The craze for buttons has also become almost a mania. They appear in single and double rows on jackets or gowns?the whole length from shoulders to hem?and even on elaborate dresses of silks and satins. .. If ... Imported Coats. Vagueness of outline is perhaps the . most impressive feature of imported coats. Charlotte Corday Ruffle. In millinery the most distinctive 1 fancies for the moment are toward ; the cowboy hat, broad of rim and J raised on the side; the hat built like i a derby, with a rolled brill, and the > picture hat with the Charlotte Corday 1 ruffle. The New Sleeve. Big at the armhole and tight at i the wrist is the latest decree for it. When pleated the sleeve has the ef- I feet of a folding water cup. Very frequently the armhole is so ! wide that its lower edge is even with the waist. Attached Collars. It is quite the fashion now to put j the turnover collar into the neck- j band.

I Embroidered Waistcoats. One of the most telling features of i dress is the waistcoat, which is a i very gay affair. In Paris they make the little waistcoat of gayly flowered cretonne. The front is entirely of the j cretonne, while the hack is perfectly plain. A tiny row of white buttons i reaches from the smart'eravat to the , belt, i Pointed Tunic With Skirt. The tunic drapery is one of the very latest decrees of fashion and is ! I , J I, I really exceedingly graceful and very generally becoming when cut on such lines as those illustrated. It is generally classic in effect and it drapes the figure with real grace, while it is adapted to every material that will drape successfully. This one is arranged over a closely fitted skirt that is finished with a circular flounce at the lower edge. As illustrated the material is crep de Chine with trimming of applique in self color. The skirt consists of the tunic, the circular flounce and the five gores of the under portion. The gores fit the figure snugly and the circular flounce ! is joined iu meir lower euge. mu tunic Is on one piece and is fitted by j means of darts at the hips, while it is arranged over the skirt and the two are joined to the belt. If walking length is desired, both skirt and tunic can be cut off on indicating lines.

VThe Pui/o/t 1 A SERMON ' 8/ TAE RE'/[RA-V/kKDEl^o^^^^" Subject: Belh-el. Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching on the above theme at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, Hamburg avenue and Wierfield street, the Ptev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Oen. 28:19. "And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; * * * * this is none other but the the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven. * * * * And he called the name of that place Bethel." The scene is as grand as the language is inspiring. And the sublimity of the picture and the elevation of the language are only to be explained upon the assumption that al this time and under the conditions that are described Jacob enjoyed s special and glorious spiritual experi euce. Jacob was journeying from BeerBheba to Haran. He stopped on the way, took stones for a pillow and laj down to rest, the day being spent for the night. "And he dreamed and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached tc heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. Anc behold! the Lord stood above it." Is it any wonder that Jacob venerated the place? . Here he found blessing. Here was inspiration. Here was the manifestation of the everlasting God. It was but a stone ir the open, roofed with the arching heavens, walled by the horizon beyond which his vision could not penetrate; but here he had seen God And he called the place Beth-el. No one is so foolish as to imagine that the stone and the surrounding locality were any more sacred in anc of themselves than were a thousand similar stones upon which Jacol might have rested his tired head 01 were a hundred other places in the quietude of which he might have found repose. But upon that ston< his head had rested when the God ol Abraham and of Isaac reiterated t( him the covenant He had made witt the fathers. In that spot he had beer the recipient of the richest joy thai the heart of man may experience ir this life or the mind of man desive: ? vision of the living God. And so he poured oil on the stone and conse crated the place where he had tarriec through a memorable night. What else would any man have done? The event was not common place. The vision was beatific. Th< covenant was tremendous both as t( its authorship and its duration. Con sidered from any point of view the occasion was to be commemoratee and the locality was forever investec with a subduing and soul warming at mosphere that would be effectivi with us to-day were we within the scope of its influence. Jacob woult have been neither courteous nor hu man if he had not set the place as it a sense apart. If we may remembei heroes with monuments and gooc men with statuary, shall lot Jacol commemorate the revelation of Jeho vah with an oil soaked stone? If wi are conscious of a thrill as with baret heads and reminiscent minds we stanc in Independence Hall or about thi graves of the martyr dead shall wi not admit the sacredness of the spo where God showed Himself to th< leader of His people? All of which is not to push sensi over the border line of reason, or t< make the logical become illogical. on 11 oH tho nlono "Rpth-pl_ th< house of God. And so we call ou churches. Every church is a Beth-e or it is nothing better than a club house. A church is nQt simply a col lection of stone and brick and plaste and wood and glass and iron an< nails bound into a building, any mor< than the stone was the sanctuary o the place where Jacob heard th< voice of God the shrine. A church i more than an edifice as the shrini was something more than a geogra phical or geological entity. We con secrate our churches to the benefi cent uses of the religious life of th< people not because we consider tha n^A cirmilv onrf cnlolv withli V7UU auiuco OlUi^/i; v*n? them or that a blessed brick is holie than an unblessed stone. We ente our churches, rather, I should sey wi should enter our churches, becausi in a real way they stand for an exper ience, they teem with reminiscence they commemorate individual and so ciai blessings and visions of the sov ereign God. Jacob called the place Beth-el be cause he had a compelling religiou experience. And so we should ven erate our churches. A church tha lacks the spiritual atmosphere, tha is not the expression of a deep spirit ual conviction, that commemorate no visions and that is ineloquent o mighty spiritual exaltations, is not.i church. It is a fraud. A church is a Beth-el. And as sucl it should be revered. Within i should be found blessing and inspira tion, out of it should flow the influ ences that tend toward God and tha militate for the weal of men. Beth-el was notable as the com memoration of a blessing. And wha blessings have we not had within th confines of our churches. When such holy reveries, such glorious in spirations, such lasting joys, sucl revelations through the abiding of I common spirit? Here we have seei the glory of the Lord, here we hav known the power of His love, her we have fed upon His promises an< been augmented in tne ncnes 01 tii grace. Here, as was Jacob at Beth-el have we been inspired, filled wit) larger hopes, urged on to nobler an< to holier achievements, filled with th energy that no man may describe, in effable, intensive and divine. Her we have felt the warmth of the spir itual atmosphere and have claspe< hands with God. The influences that rolled with pre dieted vigor from the simple shrin at Beth-el ought to flow and will from any well appointed church. Th< church is not a pool, it is a stream It is rather a dynamic than a static From the church should well fort! the influential streams of righteous ness and of truth and the healing o the nations. The world owes an in calculable debt, as do we, to thi oimrcti should bv he cuiiiuij, aiiu ? unceasing and compounding influenc for good and for God, and unremit ting service for men, place the worli ever more largely in her due. The churches must be Beth-els o many of them never could withstani the abuses to which they are lent Only upon the assumption that tin spiritual influences that move withii them are born of God can we under stand how many of them survive th< desecrations to which they are sub jectcd. The average fair is enougl to kill any church. The averagi church entertainment. y,.mry ana puerile as it is expressionless, would be a death blow to the social activities of any organization less hardy. What with moving pictures and wax works and spelling bees and turkey suppers and men's smokers and women's gossip, it is wonderful that we have any veneration for churches at to an older triena. sue uau talking about the ugly little town 1 where she lived, and how little money she had to spend, and how there were : no concerts or lectures or chances 5 for culture, how monotonous and nar1 row things were week after week, ' how her health was not strong, and there was no special thing she could do in the world. It did sound rather i hopeless, and the older woman waa r silent a moment. Then she said, , thoughtfully: "No; you cannot change these cons ditions of your life at present. Eut > there is one thing, Marjory, that you I can change, and it will make everyI thing absolutely different." "But what can I change? I don't - understand," cried Marjory. I "You can change your point of i view," returned her friend. "That's - all. But it's everything." i The girl thought it an unsympa; thetic answer. She went home still thinking so. But it stuck in her mind nevertheless; for she was an intelli. gent girl. "It is the only change I can make," > she said to herself, and she tried it. f Her point of view had been from I herself?from what she wanted to do, I and have in the world, but could not. ) She faced round to the point of view r that God had put her where she was, ; had prepared blessings for her if she } would recognize them, and had given i her opportunities for unselfish usefulE ness to others in her daily life. ) From that moment her life was a i study in transformation?from disl content to cheerfulness, from languor t to activity, from a lack of interest in i life to a fullness of loving sacrifice, i "It is all absolutely different," she 3 wrote her friend, a, year later. Only one thing has changed. That was I all. But it was everything.?Forward. > _ ; Wear Your Troubles Inside. j Many a man gets into the habit of - carrying his troubles in his face.

Railroads Forbid Use of Intoxicants ?Baltimore and Ohio Follows Lead of Other Roads in Forbidding Liquor to Rs Employes. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad : put into effect recently a new rule by which men employed in the operation o" the road are prohibited from partaking of intoxicating lio.uors either while they are on or off duty. The ru'.e has been made a general one by the Baltimore and Ohio, and men who indulge in intoxicants will in the future be barred from that road's servtee. This action served to call public attention to a movement among railroad managers, which has been in progress for some time past, looking to the elimination from railroad servj Ice of men who are known to indulge I In intoxicants. j A number of other roads have es | tablished in the recent past regulations in this respect similar to those which are being put into effect by the Baltimore and Ohio. Inquiry made last week among railroad officials re! sealed the fact that, while so far as I Known the General Managers' AssoI Mation, which is made up of the acti ive managers of most of the imporI cant railroads, has taken no formal I action in the matter, they have as c ! result of exchanges of views on this I subject come to the conclusion thai j the course which is now being foli lowed by the Baltimore and Ohio is the best both for the public and for :he railroads themselves. Last year a similar rule was put into effect on the New York Central ; lines. It applies not only to the Cen! iral itself, but to its numerous sub! sidiary roads, including such roads as ihe Lake Sho^ the Michigan Cen! tral. the Big Four, the Nickel Plate the Boston and Albany and others. An official of the New York Central said last week that the policy oi :he road wis to be extremely strict ic the matter of its men refraining from I :he use of intoxicants, xne reguiaiions in force on the New York Cental, it appears, go to the length ol compelling the conductor of a trair to refuse to permit the train to star! ;f he learns that the engineer has iniulged in intoxicants before going tc luty. The rules compel the substitu;ion of another engineer in such i :ase, and similarly an engineer is forbidden to take out a. train should 11 aappen that he knows that the conluctor has taken an intoxicant. Commenting on these regulations :his official said: "We would sooner have a man ir I the road's employ take money thar | ;hat he should indulge in intoxicants I The damage tnat couia result. iron stealing would be trifling compared with the trouble which might resul1 ! from a conductor or an engineer oi jven a brakeman taking too freely o) intoxicants. One or the other woulc be very apt to neglect orders and per haps the neglect might occur undei conditions which would lead to di& ister.'T j The advantage of minimizing th< i use of intoxicants among operatinj employes has been recognized noi only by the railroads, but by larg< Industrial establishments as well While the rules adopted by manufac I turing companies in respect to th< I use of intoxicants by their employe! are not understood to be as strict as those in force on the New York Cen tral, on the Baltimore and Ohio, anc m nfhor rnaHs thp mnvement amonf ! manufacturing companies has beei j gaining ground. Among the compa J nies which have taken steps in th< i direction of forbidding the use of in i toxicants by their employes are th< I International Harvester Company an< l some of the companies controlled b2 i the United States Steel Corporation. This movement on the part of th< railroads and industrial concerns t< establish stricter regulations thai those which have been in force in th< past regarding the use of intoxicant ' by their employes is particularly in | teresting at this time, owing to th< i acknowledgment in brewery trad< [ circles that that trade is being seri ously hurt by the Prohibition move | ment. It happens that the purpos j of the railroads to surround the op I eration of their lines with all possibli ! safeguards has made them a powerfu ally of the Prohibitionists. It is sail : that they recognize this fact, and tha j they are giving all possible encour j agement to the movement among th i railroads to prohibit the use of in J toxicants by their employes. The desire of railroad managers ti : Abolish the use of intoxicants by op j erating employes is in keeping wit] the policy of eliminating as many a possible of the factors which tend t careless service. Despite all the safe i ty devices which have in recent year j been put into use in increasing num ! bers, it remains true that for th 1 safety of its passengers as well as o j its freight service a railroad is large I ly dependent upon the faithful pei i formance of their duties by the mei | who are directly charged with th i handling of the trains. Automati devices cannot, except to a limitei extent, take the place of intelligen work by all classes of employes whi are engaged in the moving and dis patching of trains and in the guard j ing of the line of road. The present is regarded as a par Lticularly favorable time for puttin more stringent rules into effect. Th demand for railroad employes is, o course, much less than it was whei traffic was so much heavier, and it i vastly easier now than it was a fe^ I months ago to replace men who ar ] disposed to infringe the rules estah I lished by the railroads.?New Yor] | Times.

It is not generally known that the , Imperial family of Russia is the richest royal family in Europe, and 3eri"es its vast wealth from three jourcea?the State treasury, the imperial domains (formerly church ' tands), and the so-called "cabinet 1 properties." A writer in Harper's ' Weekly gives some interesting facts. The State treasury provides for the Czhr as the sovereign; the imperial lomains are the joint property of the members of the House of Romanoff, [ but administered by the head of the , house; and the "cabinet properties" - are the personal property of the i reigning sovereign as such. The State treasury pays out $7,000,000 per annum for the needs : of the imperial house, principally for | the maintenance of the palaces and , the officials and servants attached to ! them. .The reigning empress, for ex? ample, has an allowance of $100,000 nor vonr anrl thp rinwaser emnress I ? r the same. Every child born to the Czar receives from birth to the age ; of twenty-one nearly $20,000 a year, , while the heir to the throne receives , annually, in addition to the maintei nance of palaces, $50,000. Daugh-1 ters receive a dowry of one million roubles when they marry. The figures under this head are comparative' ly modest, and'the total expenditure J charged to the State treasury is less ; than one per cent, of the annual ' budget. ! The King Laughed. ?

"But, sir," [ she said, "I really don't knbw how i to play." The King would take no denial, however, and she became rather embarrassed. "I assure you, sir." she said. "I could not think of 1 playing. I don't know the difference between the king and the knave." , There was an awkward silence, and . then she realized what she had said l and was covered with confusion. The King, of course, laughed it off, and t now tells the story with gusto. ? " Dundee Advertiser.
