Dress and the Fashions

"Jew Sport Gowns Are Fast-
ened in the Back; So Are
Afternoon Gowns, and
Maybe This Is an Incoming
Novelty.
^ EW YORK, Jan. 14.—When Mine. J«'nuy
^ copied a velvet afternoon gown from a
cmbrandt portrait and Immediately Hfter it*
rrlral in America It was worn by a smartly
•orked woman in a box at the Metropolitan
pora hmine, the public noticed that it was
listened down the back with round, white but
>ns luado of a composition that looked like
sari. Now there comes a sport suit of biscuit
dored Jersey cloth trimmed with hand* of
reon silk with a draped white innslln collar
round the nock and fastened down the back lik»»
child's piiw/orfj.
A jfc.S OF CffANfiK.
I wonder U fhls mcau« that fashion is.sudden
7 to <'hango Its method of fastening gowns:
ow that we have established the comfortable
lethod of booking or buttoning ourselves up the
ront, do we have to go back to the old, Irrltnt
ig. exhausing process of putting the gown to
ether In a straight line from neck to waist?
For the last tftree years the blouses that fas
»iipd down the hack were sold at an absurdly
>w price on the counters, because women made
demand for the other kind; loose frocks over
nings that were not boned, were sometimes
isteued In the back, if they were for evening
ear, but even In this case there was nothing
» try the nerves and wear the temper to a
iged edge in tho method of fahteulng
The comfortable araarnnce concerning those
'^w gowns Is that the bodices lire loose. They
•ok as though they jnight be slipped over the
»ad like a sweater. The fastening iu the ha. k
•eseuts no strain on the temper of the fingers;
iere are no hooks and eyes, hut plain buttons
id largo buttonhole* rigulurly plated well
»art.
It ia well for those who watch straws to pay
tention to this latest caprice from France, for
may be a sure sign that fastenings will short
change. An afternoon gown of distinction and
•port suit of high fashion, each fastened down
-m Mck without anv attempt to disguise the
• lttons, are surely of significant to those who
a a change before It comes over the herlo i*
There have been wen at every public pince
certain French women noted fur the clothes
they exploit, attempting to bring In the round
bodice fastened at the back—not the pointed
bO»«4. evening bod toe with the straps over the
shoulders with whicfc we have become so famil-
iar. but the childish blouse with straight up
and down lines that rea. h below the hips, or the
round, partly snug bodice that Was left un
trinmied except for a line of embroidery af the
nock.
NEW KIND OF COLAH.
The sport suit of biscuit-colored Jersey trim
med with bands of green, which is sketched to
day, has more than one point of interest The
fastening in the back cat. lies the eye of the oh
server at once and stirs the prophet to prophecy
but the folded collar of fine muslin is som'e'
thing that we have not had with us for decades
It looks like the careless handkerchief drapery
which was once exploited by women uvt r a quar
ter of a century ago. ami which went then, as
now, with frocks that fastened In the hack. It
presents a novel Idea to those who wonder what
they will do with the neck drapery, If fashion
suddenly changes Its method of fastening clothes
This collar Is of softest white fabric in dis-
tinct opposition to the starched, white organdy
•Wfitirs that we have worn f«»r two years. It
II much more becoming than the severe, medieval
line which we have worn for three months.
CANINE COMFORT
Perhaps you think it Isn't always an easy
task to carry your pet Pomeranian <ir Pekingese
about under your arm. Perhaps you think you
hate to pay rather dear for the satisfaction
of having jour canine companion with you
when out for a walk, a shopping trip or the
round of Intimate calls. But you may be quite
sure that It Is easier for you than for the dog,
and It is something of an art for ant dog to
accustom himself to this trick of being toted.
For he musn't wriggle or squirm or try io
Jump, no matter what temptations beset Ills
way. If he *ecs a rival Pomeranian lugged
about In your neighbor's arms he muan't even
sniff. To follow ills Instinct and dash harking
and growling up to the rival would be, of course,
unpardonable. And If he sees the Angora cat
Whom he longs with all his dog heart to tease
and pursue, he must Just turn up his little dog
nose and pretend not to notice. No, It isn't
altogether the easiest thing In the world being
a pet dog, even when your mistress has provided
rather lavishly for your comfort.
In the first place, there Is a little leather
bag arrangement that actually does make the
trick of being carried somewhat cosier than it
Is usually. An especially attractive version of
tuis little dogholder is of red leather «nd costs.
In one of tho dug supply houses, $4 or there-
abouts. It is not suitable for traveling, and
doggy stands or reclines In the bottom of the
leather bag and sticks his little bead out at the
top, while the leauter handles are hung on mis
tress arm In a most convenient way.
Of course, every fastidious dog, or every
house dog with a fastidious mistress, boasts a
pair, or rather two pairs, In order to go the
rounds of all his little feet, of rubber boots.
These he grows accustomed to having placed
on his paws before going out for his constltu
tloual and on returning home he waits patiently
to have tliern removed before he will ;itep foot
on tug or noli shed floor.
Ami mien an array of combs and brushes as
the shops show for our canine friends. If we
are their friends *os truly a* they are ours we
surely secure one or two of these toilet acces
sorles for them. There art? combs of steel or
bone iu varying sles and as cheap as 15 or i!0
cents. There are brushes of line, dull end wire
or of thick bristle that make any dog feel as
If he bad had a Turkish bath, a clean shave
and a new suit all In on-. One of the moat con-
venient of these brushes is arranged on the
polm side of a sort of mitten that csn easily
be drawn over the hand for the greater con
vpMenoe of assisting the dog frleDd with his
luornlug toilet.
For the tery little. »erj petted dog there are
utt e cowbells to hang on their collars at their
necks Don't tell the dog fiend If you get him
one of these bells that they were originally In-
tended for the pet tabby. As n matter of fai't,
a good many very nice ilog friends «*ar them
and rather take pride In their eheerful dfncle.

MORE ABOUT THE BUST.
it would be well to practice de#p, fore#
ful breathing until it beeomM * habit, #»ur
lungs then would become air hungry if we at
tempted to cramp them and we would find the
indolent *ng of the upper chest quite impossible.
Enough has been said to show that a healthy
well developed bust Is dependent to a great ex
tent upon the foundations of the chest. A aid"
from th« beautiful line running from the should
er to tho hremt, It would be Interesting lo
hoar what constitute* an attractive bust. So
many women do not eierclse any Judgment In
this respect. They sec n beautiful picture or a
■tatue and Immediately long to be similarly
developed.
The brcaat is differently pU'-ed In different
women A sculptor once remarked that, "the
breasts should always live hi enmity with each
other." meaning that they should turn outward
Instead of forward. They usually turn forward
ly In mature women, whereas in iumature girls
or women, they point outward. Then they may
b<> net high or low upon the chest. The classic
figures represent tliew high, and It is reasonable
to suppose that the woman of that period were
bo developed. A lower attachment begina with
the decline of ltdlian art; there can be no
doubt that the form of the women of this period
had undergone some modifications. Michael An
gelo's figure of Night, also his Dawn end his
i-eda. fall far from the classic ideals, but they
( are superb; the breasts In all these magnificent
; figures being those of matured women placed
: low upoti the chest. The fart that they are not
{ the high si t, conical. Idealistic breasts of an
dent (Jre.-k statuary, does not detract from
; their beauty valae. On the contrary, and this
In the point to be remembered, they possess a
i beauty value of their own which nothing can
take a way from them, and so perfectly do they
represent what the sculptor meant them to rep-
resent, that they take upon themselves an added
charm bv comparison.
Therefore, tho truth of the matter Is this-
Kvery woman must study her bust by coiupar
lng It with her own type; its low or high setting
being equally desirable and depending on her
bony frame work. The shape of the breast and
its consistency are matters to be taken Into
account. A couically formed breast, set high
upon the chest, is usually extremely firm In
texture, whereas when the bust is attached low,
It is softer. Tills does not mean that It is
pendulous, it merely means that it is movable
with the different positions assumed bv the
body. Many women consider this undesirable
and seek to correct It with tonics and tlit- like.
If the hreaet has never been solidly attached
to the chest after maturity has been reached
it never will be, bceauso the texture of the tis-
sue, and, iu fact, the entire architecture of the
body, Is not calculated to promote it. Many
nrtists do not admire a rigid bust, the consensus
of art and beauty lovers being in favor of mod-
rately low, fairly firm breasts.
Reference was made earlier iu this article
to the broken down bosoms of many voting
girls of today. In former years the high cor-
sets and corset waists were a support and pre-
vented that sagging of the mils, i,.h which is so
common among women who give themselves lit
tie care. French women create.! the empire
modes, the brassieres, and various devices by
means of whfeh the bust is always protected
from this defect which forever ruins it>. con
tour. The corsets of today are In every Vespert
uiore hygienic than any previously used, Hut
they give no support to the breasts, and this is
of graye Importance because most women are
utterly lacking in the muscular development of
the chest, without which no bust can have a
firm and Instiug attachment The continual
wearing of a brassiere Ih necessarv to hold the
lueast In position.
Home careful women wear this little garment
at night, too. So much ease, comfort, well
being and improvement mark the constant use
of a brassiere, that the habit once formed will
never be given up.
I'oorly developed breasts are usually lacking
in glandular growth, and can lie stimulated In
various ways, mainly through the blood, of
course. There is no food that has a direct
action upon them. Vaucalre tonic, because of
the galega it contains, is said io have a direct
effect upon the bust. Some women are profited
by Its use, as It Is a general flesh builder, but
It is entirely worthless without genuine galega
and that Is not grown iu this country. Vau-
calre tonic Is of doubtful value; It is tho ex-
gcptlonal case that It profits.
ANBWER8 TO QUERIES.
Clare; You cannot expect success with any
measures as long as you insist in wearing
high-boned collars. You must discard them and
give your neck a chance to breathe and ex-
ercise. incasing It in a vise is destructive to
the muscles and makes the skin dry and sallow.
1 Would suggest further that you inake a paste
of: Lemon Juice, 1 toospoonful; oil of bitter
almonds, (I drops; honey, l ounce; oatmeal to
make a paste. Spread this on a linen bandage
utid fasten It around your neck at lied time, hav-
ing first given the parts a thorough cleansing
and massage treatment. Practice rotating the
head upon the shoulders to limber up the tls
sues and develop the muscular structure.
Billy; Send a self addressed envelope for
treatment of pimples. This needs a detailed
reply.
Annabel!: Most face powders contain oxide
of zinc or bismuth, and so are harmful. I'se
only the finest of rice powder, or rice flour
which you can scent delicately with your fa-
i vorlte perfume.
Annoyed: 1 fljn very glad Indeed you and
I your family enjoy my talks so much. For little
blisters sometimes cuused by . Indigestion,, and
from undue lirat In the mouth from any cause,
try the fallowing: Chlorate of potaslum, 'i drops;
distilled witch hiuel, 3 ounces.

"Oh. no, Undo Wlggily," called a laughing
voice, and Biille aud Johnnie stuck their heads
out of the wludow. "Please excuse us." went
on Biille. "We did not kuow you were dowu
there when we threw out our old pumpkin
Jack o'-lantern, bid It hit you?"
"No, but nearly." said the bunny. "Why
are you throwing the pumpkin lantern away?"
"Because we are through playing with It,"
eald Johunta. "We made It for Halloween,
and when wa had had our fun we put It up
here in the attic. Today we are helping
mother clean out the attic, aud. among other
things, we threw away the old pumpklu. We

"What ia your name, my dear?" asked Uncle
Wlggily, kindly, "and what la the matter?"
"My name Is Ella Cinder." was the answer,

"Cinderella! Oh. now I know who you

throwing It ont of the window.
"Oh, plpas" get It for me!" begged the fairy
and Cncle Wlggily hopped back through the
woods and soon brought the pumpkin to Cin-

ruga fell off and she had on a beautiful gold

"Thank yoU for getting us the pumpkin,"
she called to Cncle Wlggily, its she snd the

"Now everything will eome out right, and I'll

So It was a good thing Johnnie and Bllllo

"Enlargement the Law of Christian I*lfe
was the subject of a isermou by Kef. J. M.
Carroll of the Riverside Baptist Church,
The text wa»: Isaiah 11 v, 2-3, "Kularge the
place of thy tent and let them atretch forth the
curtail!* of thy habitations: spare not, lengthen
thy cords and streugtheu thy stake*, for thou
shall break forth on the right and on the left,
etc.
The preacher said In part:
Sons and daughters or God: (iod'a by creation,
by adoption and by spiritual birth. Surely chll
tlren of such parentage ought to have large vis
ions and high Ideals, aud ought to attempt to
do great things. There are they who are ex
horted to eularge the place of their tents and
stretch f»»rth the curtains of their habitations,
lengtheu their cords and streugtheu their atakes.
little visions, little Ideals, little enterprises, lit-
tle lives are a dishonor to their heaveuly Father,
liod has a right to command of us and expect
of us bigger things. The Father's resources
are back of his children. He is their partuer
lu every righteous enterprise.
Note Gotrs commands and from them learn
his expectations, bin Ideas of man's abilities and
capabilities. Hoar God's first command to man.
There were Just two human beings jn earth.
The whole world, with Its multitude of problems,
was before them. He said: fruitful and
multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue
it; ami have dominion over the fish of the sea.
over the fowl of the air and over everything
that movcth upon the earth." What a command.
God had no small idea of mau'a ability. Surely
no man ever had so high an opinion of himself
as God has of him. Subdue this earth. Every
advancement In olvillation, every invention—the
railroad, the telegraph, the steamboat, etc. -are
but the carrying out of that command—"subdue
the earth." In 10,000 marvelous ways is this
command being carried out.
Hut hear God's command to redeemed man:
"(io ye therefore and make disciples of all na-
tion*." etc. Bring the whole world into sub-
jection to ray Gospel and mr religion. This
was said to a little handful of Galilean fisher-
men. nnd they were to hand down their message
to the next generation of saved and thus on It
was to be carried until the whole world wa* to
hear the message. Idolatry and false religions
of all sorts were to be finally overcome. What
a task. If It Is to he done then the prophetic
exhortation "enlarge," etc., must be heard and
heedad.
Note again that God's promises arei In keeping
with his commands: "Ask of me and I will give
thee the heathen for thine Inehrllance nnd the
uttermost parts of the earth for thy possess
slon." "Lo, I am with you always. "Fear
not. 1 am with thee." With these promises,
why should we over stagger at bis commands?
Why should we ever fear to launch out ou treat
enterprises? Without me ye can d° nothing.
With me ye can do all things. One slngln real
conception of the meaning and magnitude of
God's promises and then the exhortation to "en-
large," etc., seems not only possible, but glori
oualy thrilling and inspiring.
Put why this enlargement? Because It Is the
law of Christian life. Aggressiveness, progres
siveness. Is really th#» law of self preservation.
A wholly defensive policy will always lose in the
end. The Scipio Africanus policy- "carry the
war out of Italy Into Africa" Is the only policy
of victory, when It comea to religious work:
Holding one's own" will Inevitably bring ulti-
mate defeat.
The Dead Sea la the only thing in nature
comparable 1«> the Individual Chrltslan to the
church or to the denomination of Christians
slniplv "holding one's own." No aggressiveness,
no progress!venous; but remember that sea Is
dead There are no fish In Its waters, no
happy homes on Its shores and no ships of a
nation's commerce float on Its bosom. It Is
dead.
We must "enlarge" or decay and die.
Again, why enlarge? Because a lifetime is
short nt best. If we are to do much In this
world then large things are demanded. It is
our only hope of really fulfilling life's mis-
sion.
Yet again, why cjilarge? Because a llmetlme Is
which attract, filings which inspire, things
which bring out the heat that Is In us are
large. If we be men "let's play the men for
our people" nnd for our <iod and his cause.
Let's not continue to build playhouses and play
dolls. If we are kings and queens 4into our
God let's do kingly and queenly things. Thus
only can we attract a lost world to our religion
and Inspire them to sek < ur Christ.
How can we bring about this enlargement?
Uemcinber our parentage and ask for larger
help and larger things. Let our prayers he big*
ger. ' Ask of uie and I will give thee the
heathen for thine inheritance." ot us pray
"Thy kingdom come." Remember we are doing
God's tasks. He will guarantee the capital for
an enlarged business, took to him. Pray to
htm. Pray more, pray bigger, attmnpt larger
things, use the capital that he furnishes, and he
will furnish more. He will furnish all we will
use. Great effort combined with great faith
in a great God will bring great results. "Bring
all the tithes Into the storehouse and prove me,
salth the Lord." God wants us to honor him
We will honor htm when we heed the language
of the text enlarge the place of thy tent and
let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habl
tatlons. Spare not. lengthen the cords and
strengthen tliv sfako-i."
1 conclude with a vital question and answer.
What 1s our basis of hope for an enlarged life?
With the score of answers that might bo Bug
gested there Is but one that is bright with
promise Paul expressed that in his second let-
ter to the Corinthians ix. 15): "HaTlng hope
when your faith Is increased." Both experience
and observation have taught that Increased
worldly prosperity within Itself does not give
promise of enlarged Christian IWe. Increase of
faith in God is the only thing that gives real
promise of enlarged living and giving and for-
giving. A higher and clearer conception of
God and his Son and an Increased faith in them
are necessary to higher and boiler living and
to enlarged purposes and plans and enterprises.

CHRIST CAN BRING PEACf
PRESENT WORLD WAR rHK I'ROO
UCT OF BAD HEART-LIFE.
The Heart of Cod Brought Near ti
Those Who Toil Is an Assurance
That There 1« a v\ay to Peac*
Says Rev. H. C. Leonard.
"The World's Way to peace" was the subject
■ *;r,uo" 'l,y "e*. " < • Leonard of Triuitj
Methodist Church. The text was "I'eat-e I
leave with you; my peace 1 give unto you not
as the world givetb, give 1 unto vuu" .John
*lv,J7). The minister said in part:
The present great war is a symptom as well
a* a result. This outbreak of snvagerj is uu
Indicatlou of sumo rather bad heart li e aid i
result of materialistic thinking in some highly
self-esteemed circles. Now in w. ariuess of Vu
much blood letting and loss of men and the
comforts of life men are talking of peace ami
are looking for a peace that will be stumped
with a guarantee to last. But who is to make
the guarantee and how is tho guarantee to bo
made good? We are discovering that thh ..hi
world has lived along from one wartime to an-
other aud hau called the interim "peace" when
in fact It was the time of preparation for the
next revelry of savagery. We have had no pea
that has not been heavily armed and filled with
fear and suspicion. So some men are saying
that since uo agreement can l>o binding then
there can be peace ouly when the one has beaten
down the other weltering in helplessness in
its own blood. The world's way to peace runs
from battlefield to battlefield and is beaten
hard by the feet of marching men.
It has taken a long time for the principles of
the life and teacbiug of the Master to find
tbelr way Into the relationships of men. There
hus been a constant idea that religion was in-
tended merely to keep a man good enAugh to u-i
to heaven rather than good enough iu his secret
life atitl life of service to be a fit companion
for the ever present Christ. The purblind world,
satisfied with Its wallow, has taunted the pra-
tieal Christian in such words as "Let us alone
aud preach the Gospel," as though preaching
ahould be divorced from practice and that the
Ideas of Christ belonged to other worlds than
this and for other men than these. Chrl&t's
words and llfo belong to the race and are for
the sinful as well as the welldoing, for the
boozer as well as the self-controlled, for the
foul-thinker as well as the clean minded, y.
and for pagan races as well as the more thought
fut aud for nations that have uot known how lo
trust the councils of Christ and to give Him a
place in the deliberations Mint should make fu-
tile welfare of those for whom He lived. Through
the teaching of Christ we are learning I! i
childhood is too precious to exploit in the mills,
that the life of it man Is too valuable to •
pardiae in dueling, that men were never intend
ed for slavery.
Tills we have learned in a small way. but
In our National thinking we have not considered
childhood ami have valued the man in terms of
his ability to handle a gun. The sacrifice on
Calvary is the hope of the sinful man, the
life of the Gallllean the pattern of those wh"
do well, the Carpenter of Nazareth the heart of
God brought near to those who toil, the Prhc c
of peace the assurance that there is a way by
which men can livp at peace with men.
Christianity ban been sufficient in reinforcing
the personality of a man and giving him a
sence of his kinship to God. It has given him
a new basis for his self respect. He has learn
ed that it Is worth more to live for a man than
to kill him that prlglshness and false pride an
foolish foundations that a man is more a *oul
than "animated dust." Christianity ha- be. u
sufficient so far to unfetter the minds of men
that we have such things as inventions and
sciences and civilization. What has meant s.i
much to the Individual and in au increasing
<(Agree to the maaa of men has not been tried iu
guaranteeing peaca»to the world.
But before there can be other than the world's
way to peace there must come Into the hearts
of men a consciousness of his helplessness in
peace as well as in war. "Not as the world
giveth" but through the changed heart of men
will it come. Not through the breath of tin
battle's blast, but through the welcomed power
of the ever-present <iod. God is near to all bur
known to only to those who strive to know him.
The chemist In his laboratory, the astronomer ot
the telescope, the sinful publican searching for
God are all swinging Into the thinking of
and it may be that out of this world desire
for peace some hearts will find the way of the
ever present God and lead the world to a last
ing peace.
Men found it a long way from tho picture
Writing to the printing press, from tho cave
to the1 home, but it Is a longer way from the
battlefield to peace for this involves a change
iu the hearts of men. We are learning that
what we have and what we are is best used
when used In unselfish service and not until
the spirit of God Is made welcome iu the hearts
of men to a universal degree, will the Prince of
Peace be supreme aud this weary, old. blood
soaked world find rest from the ambitious of
selfish men.
