' But enough generalization. I want to tell you something of the attrac tive new dresses, because these are likely to interest and tempt you, be- fore you really get down to the seri- ous business of choosing autumn suits and coats, One of the newest colors, is a rich ruddy brown which reminds one of a well-polished horse chestnut. It is loveliest in velvet, but is also at- tractive in many silks and woollens. © Damson purple, called "black tu. lip," is much shown, while in this range are also various purples and parma violets, NEW COLORS.

Walistlines remain much the same, some dropping slightly at the back, while skirts for afternoon reach from about 10 inches from -the ground to ankle length, according to the type of dress, or whether an inch more or less fs better for the wearer, Interest is still centred at the top of the dress. Let us suppose you have a fancy for woollen, If you follow Paris you will have it close against the throat wlth long sleetves, and a slender skirt perhaps a wee bit slit at the hem. Sleeves may also be kimona, with a slightly rounded look "at the. shoul- der, or interest at a drop shoulder line. DRAPED NECKLINES With some of the heavier wopllens and. velvets are short sleeves. Should you choose one of the lower neck- lines, the newest of which is square, there can be interest at its base, such as a ruche or ap of self material or several flat flowers. Tunics, which are popular, have long or kimona sleeves and are also usually square or choker throated, For satins and similar materials there are cowl and hanky drapes close against. the throat, some built in, some edged with pleading or tiny fringes, while soft bow effects, often part of the bodlce rather than separ ate jtems, are attractive, Such features ure accompanied by kimona sleeves, short, three-quarter or long ones, the upper part softly draped, or bishop sleeves shirred at the wrists. ~ Square or round necklines are likely to be bordered by a flounce or collar which will flop back alluringly on the shoulders. d collar which turns over on each shoulder, or is caught centre front or back to simulate a bow is also charming, With these and other silk dresses, though the effect is slender, there is often a Itile godet-like fullness centre front or back of the skirt, SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON The Christian's Standard of Life Golden Text--'"And be not drunken with wine, wherein is rict, but be filled with the Spirit," The Lesson in its Setting, Time and Place--Paul wrote his let. ter to the Christians in Ephesus and other churches in Asia Minor during his first imprisonment in Rome, AD, 61, 62, ' "This 1 say therefore," Paul has been speaking of the growth of the church of Jesus Christ. "And testify in the Lord." Paul was living in the Christ, as Christ was living in him. 'That ye no longer walk as the Gent. iles also walk," The churches to which Paul was writing were Gentile churches led up out of dense neathen- ism 4nto the light of the gospel, "In the vanity of their mind." Vanity here means emptiness, c - "Being darkened in their understan- ding." Their walk is what {t is be. cause of the condition of moral dark. ness into which they fell and in which they continue. "Alienated from the life of God." Like foreigners in a strange country, they are surrounded by the life of God, but they are not in it, and have ng part in it, "Because ot the ignorance that Is in them." This ignorance of the life of God is the cause of their alienation from that life "Because of the hardening of their heart." This Is an explanation ot the way in which ignorance came to bo a part of them. "Who being past feeling," They had seased to be sensitive to the obliga- tions of truth, of honesty of kindness, of purity, "Gave themselves up to lasciviousness," They deliberately handed over their lives to lust. "To work all uncleaness with greediness," Weymouth translates, "greedily indul. ging in every kind of profligacy. "But ye did not so learn Christ," This peculiar expression 'learned the Christ,' denotes not merely receiving a doctrine about Christ, but becoming acquainted with Jesus himself, "If so be that ye heard him." This is equivalent to "since ye nave. heard him," and -does not imply any doubt. "And were taught in him." In the sphere of Christ's truth, as set forth by Christ's ministers, "Even as the truth is in Jesus," To learn Christ is to learn truth, essential and eternal truth, - "That ye put away, as concerning your former manner ot life, the old man," The man that you once were, so called in contrast with the new man, the new creation that you are now to be. "That waxeth corrupt af. ter the lusts of deceit," The man who is cruel and hard the mau who is in- temperate. 'And that ye be renewed in the spl- rit of your mind." In contrast with the spiritual darkness and the moral im- purity of the world about him, the Christian should be experiencing a continual renewal of mind and heart, "And put on the new mas," Turn from every false way, and return to the one true way, "That after God hath been created (and so is all pre. pared for us to assume, through the Christ) in righteousness and holiness of truth," Righteousness in man in- cludes all God's will for our duty to him or our fellow men. "Wherefore, putting away falsehood Because the new man which the Christian is to put on is 'created in holiness of truth, "Speak ye truth each one with his neighbor." Truth is the bond that holds the world together "For we are members one «f another, If Paul says we are membars one of another, Jesus says we ave "actually members of him. "Be ye angry, and sin nol." In your anger let there be no sin, "Let not the sun go down upon our wrath," The personal side of anger is here re. ferred to, We may he angry with sys. tems, indignant at conditions and acts without engaging in personal quarrels and disputes. We must imitate the Py. thagoreans of whom Plutarch says that it was their rule, if they fell into bickering with any, to shake hands door open even a crack, or he will slip through, "Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise." Walk signifies the general conduct of life, Let your rule of living and acting and feeling be according to the real state of things amid which you know you like, which you beliéve and ack- nowledge and profess," "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil," The margin has buying up the opportunity," 'The far seeing merchant promptly buys up a scarce commodity so that by and by he may bargain with it to great advantage, so | must we snatch every opportunity of i getting good and doing good, laying | ¢ up in store for ourselves a. good foun-! dation. "Wherefore he ye not fooiish." The opportunity will come at any time, so therefore be not foolishly careless with regard to it, "But anderstand what the will of the Lord is," It plain that when the apostle bade the' Ephesians not to be unwise he spoke ! of a want of wisdom which they might remove if they would when he told them to be understanding, he' spoke of something which they might get if they would; and we also cun get it. "And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, Riot, in the Greek neans an abandoned dissolute life; profligacy, prodigality, ruin, utter loss of substance body and soul. "But be filled with the Spirit." The fulness of the Spirit is the source of every other mode of fulness for which the believer hungers."

BALZAC How Balzac worked--from "Hon- ore de Balzac," by Edwin Dargan: "A. 6 or 8 oclock he would go to bed. At 2 in the morning he would rise, He would don the Dominican robe of white flannel in which Rodin has portrayed him. He would prepare the first dose of the lukewarm but powerful coffee which was to sustain him through the long vigil. Then from 2 o'clock until noon or later, he would write, wrie, write, * * * "The ever-growing piles of paper would accumulate almost to the size of a volume. The ever travelling pen (he used a raven's feather) would be worn out, replaced, and the new one fly on at greater speed. The weary Titan would ari:e, stretch, prepare fresh coffee, and resume his un-end- ing task. The handwriting, legible and even beawtiful at first, would de- generate into rapid, semi-detached hieroglyphics--to the despair of his printers and editors." R. L. STEVENSON R. IL. Stevenson's most famous story--'"Treasure Island"--first saw the light of day as a serial in a Lon- don magazine called "Young Folks." Justs how much R. L. S. received for it is nct known, but, cays Horace Wyndhma (in "The Nineteen Hun- dreds") even such a distinguished author as S. M., Hutchinson (of "If Winter Comes" fame) was glad to , get five shillings (a little over a dol lar) a week from the cashiec of "Young Folks." ' SCHUBERT Yeading Newman I'lower's "Life of Franz Schubert" brings to mind Oscar Wilde's saying: "Genius ii the only qualiy which the public will not forgive. . The total sum which Schubert made by hiz compositions in the en tire course of his life, says Flowee, amounted to the equivalént to §$2,- 875! A singer has been known to get that much, and even more, for mere- ly singing-a few of Schubert's songs in these days. A. LINCOLN In the vernacular of the cataloguer of autograph letters A.L.S., stands for "Autograph Letter Signed." Not long ago a lady approached Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach, noted bibliophile, and asked to be showh some Lincoln let- ters. The doctor mersion, rather air- ily, an A.L.S. treasure he possessed, and thereupon exhibited before her interested eyes the only letter in which Lincoln swore. * * * It was addressed to John T. Stu- art, his law partner, dated Vandalia, February 14, 1849 and ran: "Ewing won' do anything. not worth a damn. "Your friend, "A. LINCOLN." After reading it, says Dr. Rosen bach (in his memoirs, "Books and Bidders), the lady exclaimed: "I know what you mean by A.L.S. I did not understand you at first. You mean, Abraham lincoln swore!"

A dark (or Indian red) means rain. In the morning a red sky means bad weather, or much wind with perhaps rain, A grey sky means fine weather A high dawn means wind, A low dawn means fair weather (a high dawn is when the first indications os daylight are seen above a bank of clouds. A'low dawn is when the day breaks on or near the horizon.) Soft looking or delicate clouds foretell fine weather with moderate or light breezes, Preston Su RATS « lw re EN RT EE a Sr Ir Ap Cn rg 3 " CRC YY NE as AAs pn a ne A a wn om
