Autumn's more sober colors are replete- ing the radiance of spring and the • strength of summer. . The leaves are • changing „hue. The evenings draw in; the breezes murmur the first whispers which toll' us that nature's life is %warn- ing. But too soon the end will come. That end we call death—nature's death. Year after year the same Story is re- told. Springtide's tender leaves ot hope, summee blossoms, autumn harvests, those elide beauty, joy, prosperity.

A TUG OF WAIL They were the very best of friends; the two small teams, who were putting all their strength into this tug-of-war.Of course each team set their hearts. up- • on winning. But as only one team could be victorious, one was bonne to be beaten. Evidently each boy in the struggle Is • enjoying the earnest "tug" They seem no happy in it—all of them,' yet each side is tugging as though a kingdom were being fought for.• e Perhaps some of the young warriors had learnt, 'Whatsoever thy hand find - .01,1" lo do, do it with thy might," applies to play as much as to work. And so on this summee afternoon they were —one and all—tugging with their "might." • Yes, indeed, there is a time for play as well as for work. Into both work and play girls and boys should always put their whole hearts. Those who are thorough in their work will be thorough -in their play. Young people have to think about health of body even while they are doing their best to educate and • strengthen. their minds. But I must tell you In a very few words what it was that brought about this friendly, contest. The High School Boys and the Gram- mer School Boys were responsible for it, Horace Arnold was a High School boy and 'Eddie Parker was a Grammar School boy., -They had heard 'their parents at 'home talk over the recent war between Russia and Japan. One Saturday afternoon during a country walk, Horace happened to say to Eddie that he had been reading about the laps. lie thought the Japanese soldiers were the jinest in -the world, much more plucky than the Russians. He was glad that they had beaten the Busefans by sea and by land. . Eddie was sorry tor the 'Russians. He would have liked them to win — at least one great battle. It was hard • for them always to lose — to have their ships sunk cc to have retreat time after time—to go home without gaining a single victory. "I tell you what,,Eddie," said Horace. "Let's 'have a tug-of-war between the two schools. Ill get together a 'small team of two or three of my friends if you'll bring one er two. of ;yours. We'll than play Russians and Saps." "Agreed," said Eddie. "How large Abell the team be?". ""Non too big. Just enough to have a fine genie. Suppose we say three on a side?" e "That's plereey," Eddfe answered quickly. .• in teis way the nig-of-war was set- tled. • 'Horace found no difficulty in making up his team among his school - friends. Two of Eddie's playmates neded no persuasion to join him in the mineic struggle. A few clays passed before the two boys •met again. The tug-of-war occu- pied a good deal of their thoughts. Ed- die, as web as Horace, talked the coming game over with his parents at borne, e en eac15 case every encourage- ment. Was given the boys. • Horace saidelie was sure the jape wOuld 'come off victorious. "I'll take good care,. and' so will men friends- on my side, that you shall not win easily 11 you win al all!" said Eddie. ."

THE LESSON WORD STUDIES. Note.—The text of the Revised Vension is used us a basis for these Word Stuclies. • Tile Epistle to the Galatians. — The Pauline authorship of the Opiate td the Galatians has never been. doubted, al- though the time and place of its writing cannot ha determined with absolute cer- tainty. The probability is that it is to be counted among the earliest of the Pauline • writings, and that, its author addressed it to the Galatian churches from Epheeus, probably about A.D. 57-58. Tile churches to which it was sent were composed largely of Gentile mernbcrs. They had been founded by Paul 'himself. The purpose and content ot the epistle has been briefly and well stated by Frederic Bendel in the Ex- positoes Greek Testament., as follows: "Tee Gala,lian epistle was evoleed. by an insidious attack on the Christian. free- dom of Greek churches, and its tone is theroughly controversial. It insists on the futility of seeking justification by obedience to thalaw, it judges that Jew - jab Christians have all confessed them- selves guilty sinners, and owe to Christ their redemption from the curses of the law; it establishes the previsional char- acter of the Sinaitie dispensation, and reduces it to a mere preparatory disci- pline designed for an age of spiritual childhood and wholly unfit for Chris- tians, seeing they have attained to spiritual manhood; it dwells on the bondage of Israel after the flesh, and identifies unbelieving Jews with Ishmael in their present temper and future des- tiny." Chapters 1 to 4 inclusive •are de- voted to this controversial • doctrinal teactiing, discussing and illustrating the principle of justiflcaUon by faith. In chapters 5 an 6 the- apostle gives some practical exhortations based on this preceding doctrinal teaching, and ex- horts the Galatians to stand fast in the higher liberty which they have attained through faith. He further points out that this liberty must net be abused, since it is not an exemption from law, lent a fulfilling of the law in love to one's neighbor. At this point, th the exhortation of the apostle our lesson be- gins. Verse 15. Bite and devour—Strong figurative expressions ofi, partisan hatred. and strife.

The fact that all the works of the flesh here enumerated '.are evil is not to be taken to mean that everything appertaining to the flesh or its action is wholly wicked. The apostle has just shown that the flesh also has an ap- pointed. function, ...and that it is essen- tial to the control of the human will. The evil works here enumerated are rather typical of the evil effects wrought by an. excessive indulgence oi the natural appetites when no due control is exercised over them by the higher spiritual powers.

Probably never before have we had a eecieon open with so fixed arid ab- solute in fashione. It would seen,- as 11 the French designee heel drawn on every period and age ter their ideas. Only a few doughty spirits like Penutn stand firm for a special style. Thie maker of feminine fripperies is still lop, 51 to his empire 'dee. It is, however, the empire idea modified and adapted so that it will meet with little objec- tion on the ecare of its being extreme and unbecoming. The empire influence promulgated by Paquin is noticeable in the Models of almost all other French houses, and it will be noticeable to, the best fa.shions in America this season. Paquin stancle for • long sweeping skirt linee, the skirt •adjusted with some fulness toward the front, an Idea exactly contrary to our American one of fftting the skirt absolutely flat through the front. The waist line is raised slightly in the front ane some - 111105 ariLat more so the back, the fullnees lifted to 'perhaps three or four inches abovethe normal waistline at that peo • , THE PAQUIN COATS are long and close, though never tight fitting. These coats 'lane the Waistline slightly lifted in the back arid under the arms, and clever but simple collars GO much to aCcomplish an empire ten- dency Which can not be termed a decid- ed empire style. The sleeves turn the elbow in the coats, and end above in for- mal indoor costumes. The bodices are simple and elegant, easy fitting, and airnost ivariably of the shield type, cut out sharply about the arms and in the neck to disclose a shield anci sleeve of lace. The waists are short, but not the ex- treme empire, rather forming what we have known heretofore as the baby waist. The general lines of the figure are maintained much as were indicated in the beet spring modes; the hips held narrow and the bust high. Short skirts will again hold- the field for general wear. Even Paris, winch has stood out against them, has accept- ed them now for certain purposes, al- though the Parisian will never give them general adoption. She has good reason to avoid. them, since the average French figure is unsuited to the short skirt. The French woman is long waisted. By Inc the majority average five feet two inches, and their longer waistline would aPnear sadly distorted in our favorite short, ,skirt. Moreover, the French wo- man rarely walks, so voluminous skirts cause her no worry. Short sleeves are an accepted thing on the other side; not three quarters or seven eighth lengths, but short /elbow lengths. • It must be admitted _that these are unsuited to the rigorous win- ters of this country, and so we may look to see longer sleeves for service suits where the climate so demands. But for dressy wear'the short elbow length sleeves veill hold their own all winter, not only in costumes, but M suits as well. THE PRINCESS GOWN oe simple • lines is noticeably absent from fall fashions. There is a modified form, with some form of a jacket or damped effect to the bodice portion, which entirely does away with the dis- tinct princess idea. This will be wel- come news to the average woman end to theedressmakers wile have struggled with the difficult princess and more dif- ficult empire effects. The corselet skirt of unpleasant me- mory has apparently sunk into tb_e ob- livion it deserves. It was fashionable, et course, but could hardly claim the merit of becomingness even in its most carefully tailored appearances.
