Rone buttons provide the finishing touch and fabrics are selected with an eye to their fitness for withstanding wear. The rough finished worsteds, cheviots,..(wills and serges, gaberdine and glove-finish cloths, stand up, well under tin* hardest usage. A model of simplicity appears In . ■ v the suit of chic, unfinished worsted, with.. straight belt.ed coat and plain skirt. It has one of those high, muf fler collars that may be buttoned up about the throat for warmth, at the same time adding a touch, of smart est style. The big patch pockets are practical,If the wearer chooses to use them, but" are really placed to carry out the severe style of the coat with a masculine detail. Such a suit, with a little variation In the collar, will pass without criticism froth season to season. For dressier wear a suit Is shown mnde of Pol ret twill.. The coat shows Ingenious cutting, but bangs almost straight at the hack. ' The convertible collar is edged with embroidery In several subdued colors, and bus an Inlay of kolinsky fur. Cuffs of fur and. lines of buttons elaborate the sleeves. A mote or less dressy hat worn with a suit of this kind, will emphasize Its character. In the picture a -small hat' with crown of stitched silk and brim of velvet contrives to look military by means of its shape and Its trimming of cords. 1 LESSON TEXT Mark 1:1-11. ’ (GOLDEN, TKXTVXtcJiold Uio’Liynvb of t(lmt takctii awTty the sin of the world /John' ’1 21*.

This series has grown out of several, years of frank'discus sion and the presentation of rnuhy pro posed lesson schemes. It Is on effort to conserve the benefits of the uni form system of lessons with .the desire to aoupt the lessons us thoroughly as possibly ..to the modern pedngoglclrr Idea of gradi'd instruction for the vuri- mis dl'frnrtmr'fiffc' of the school; an i ' attempt to provide for the whole school ns thorough and as teachable a uni form lesson idea as possible. Special ‘ topics and special memory verses and additional scriptural ma terial have been designated wherever It has been deemed possible whereby to make the lessons more helpful lb the pupils of different departments. It Is the beginning of an eigUt-year Xycle. chosen with the view first, of Incorporating several short topical course* in addition to the usual series on the chronological basis, and sec ond the committee had In mind the desirability of more frequent survey .of the entire Bible with varying meth ods of approach than Is possible under ft six-years <;yele. Finally, to har monize in the period of the cycle the newly adopted quadrennial conven tions of the International Sunday School association. Where no topic, memory verse or additional material ds Indicated for. Inter-departments of, schools, it is Intended that uniform material should he employed for such departments. Occasionally "the general title and lesson may be found to be more help ful than the speeiul topics or addi tional mhterial as Indicated for a giv en department. Sunday school lend ers frankly acknowledge that this new plan is an experiment. It is hopei^ however, that the long continued eon-' troversies over graded lessons, extra- bihlical -material and uniform lessons may find a solution'in tliis newer plan. /./ & i/v - /- / *. • • 7 k m | l§f|J START EASY IN COED WEATHER > MOST "VALUABLE ANIMAL IN SW.JN-6-HERD i G rom the t’nit.edf States -Depart merit of !.
