admit that the diversity in the present
style, mere than makes up for the
absence of anything that might be
called radically different. Fresh in-
terest is always being aroused by the
clever variations of the present
straight, full silhouette that meets the
eye at every turn.
Although the general' rule is full,
straight -hanging skirts, there are
dozens and dozens of skirts of this
type which differ widely one from the
other. One of the most noticeable
features which accounts for some of
the differences is the uneven hem ad-
vocated by many of the Parisian
houses" In some skirts the effect is
obtained by a gradual lengthening at
the back. In others, panels at the
front and hack or at the sides hang
several inches below the hem of bhe
skirt. When fur is used %to edge
skirts of this type, it may be placed
at the edges of the panels or the sides
of the skirt, but not all around; and
this le another means of varying the
placing of fur banding of skirts. Some
of the French designers who lay parti-
cular stress on the uneven kern are
Callot, Bu]loz, Agnes and Beer.
Not only skirts but coats, too, are
marked by the uneven hem. Not a
few droop at the sides, while the front
and back are even, and some coats
with full, rippling peplums are a good
deal Ionger in the back th xis in the
front
Another theme which has had no
end of variations is that of the pocket.
Throu h the 1 1•f f

has been truly amazing to watch the
resources of the designers, who have
never lacked in bringing out something

around the edge of the skirt. The
waist is in jumper effect outlined with
braid, and there are extensions at the
sides which end in little pockets.
Flat braid is one of the new dress
trimmings, and the lacquered braid is
one of the prettiest novelties in this
line. It has a dull polished finish.
Some New Sleeves
There are several new fashions in
sleeves, and among them the most
striking are those that are quite full
at the elbow and fit snugly below it.
The leg -o' -mutton is being brought
forward again, and sleeves withd eep
cuffs are very popular. Quite a novel
idea" in sleeves was noticed in -a blue
serge dress tri
red with moleskin
fur at the collar hem and pockets. It
had tight -fitting sleeves, the upper
part of which was of fur and the deep
'uff of blue serge.
There are few coats without pockets.
All are very snug and comfortable,
especially the all -enveloping bop coats
buttoned to the neck and covering the
entire dress. The coat in the illustra-
tion is of heavy velours with large
bone buttons and very large gathered
pockets. Few women will be satis-
fied without one of these practical
coats, which may be used in all kinds
of weather,
Children's Fashions
Children are not neglected, by any
means, by those who set the models.
A great deal of attention is given to
their clothes, which to a certain de-
gree follow the fashions of bheir eld-
ers,
The Russian blouse style is fre-
quently employed for youngsters, both
for school and afternoon frocks. Both
plump and slender girls can wear this
style 'becomingly. •

ways are essential item: of rho girl's
wardrobe, sauna little coat suits are
now being worn as well. For dressy
wear these are of velvet, wool velours
and duvetyn, and for general use they
are ofserge, gabardine, cheeks and
mixtures.
Embroidery in colored silks, wools
and beads is as popular for young
girls as for women. They also have
as -vide a choice in dress materials
and colors. Green, dark brown, deep
red, and blues, of all shades, are used
for their coats and frocks.

THE SUNDAY LESSON
INTERNATIONAL LESSON
DECEMBER 3.
Lesson X. Jesus Christ The First and
The Last, -Rev. L Golden
Text Rev. 1. 17, 18.
Verse 1. Revelation of Jesus -
What Jesus reveals, as is shown by
the next clause. The Gospels tell only
what he "began to do and teach." The
Acts tells what he went on doing; the
Epistles are works of his "living let-
ters, known and read of all Hien"; and
in Revelation he, and no .other,. tears
away the veil and shows himself at
work in history. Which must come
to pass.: The first of innumerable
echoes of Daniel (2, 28, 29); the out-
standing Old Testament example of
apocalyptic writing is naturally emelt
in thought when a New Testament
writer gives us a I3ook of the same
kind. Shortly ---As always in pro-
phecy, of which apocalyptic, and the
very- distant mountainpeak blends its
outline with that of the near foothills.
This human perspective must be es-
pecially recalled in reading the"Lit-
tle Apocalypse" of Mark 13. Much
of the phophecy of this book was be-
ing fulfilled in the writer's day; much
more is being continuously fulfilled in
every age. It is sheer absurdity to
think of the book as mostly concerned
with a far -distant end. This is to
take it out of our daily practical use
and deliver it over to visionary ex'
-
treniists, who have always misused it.
Angel -No one angel: the messenger'
is lost in the message. John -Who
does not call himself an apostle. There
can be little doubt that the third
century bishop was right, who first
showed that he is not the John of
the fourth Gospel. The Greek of
this hook is rich in vocabulary, but•
very incorrect in grammar; that of the
Gospel is the opposite in each respect. 1
2. The word of God -Who is the
original Source; Jesus Christ "testi-
fies" (the same word) of all things
that he saw and heard from him.
3. Readeth-Publicly, as in 1 Tim,
4. 13. Hear . and keep ---a re-
nminiscence of the Lord's own words in
Matt. 7. 24ff.; so also in James 1. 23,1
25. Prophecy, not "prediction," which
'
is a real element in the book, but the
smallest. The prophet is one who
"speaks for" God: so the Greek usage
of the word proves, and the Hebrew
word it is used to translate.
4. The seven representatives
churches -The symbolic number helps
us to see that "he that hath an ear"
everywhere is meant to hear, thought
the message to each exactly fits its
special need. Asia The Roman pro-
vince, as always, the southwest corner
of Asia Minor. Him who is -The use
of the Greek nominative is symbolic of
the divine changelessness. The title
is from Exod. 3. 14. The seven spirits
-Not mere archangels, who could not
thus be named between the Father and
tizc Son. The One Spirit is Seven,
rnuch as the One God is Three. So
ere we taught that diversity within the
(todhead is vital to true unity.

to "reign with him," but it is a still
greater thought that he is to reign
over us: even so in 2 Cor, 2. 1,4,

quered by the victor Love,
'7. The great saying of Dan. 7. 13,
which originated the Lord's own
chosen name, "Son of man," claimed
by him at his trial (Mark 14. 62),
and repeated by angels after his as-
cension (Acts 1 9, 11). That pierced
him -'See Zech, 12;10. The succeed
ing verses give the next clause. Even
so -Or, Yea, Compere 2 Cor, 1. 20,

8. The most impressive fact about
this majestic utterance is seen in its
repetitions. In Rev. 21,. 6 it is heard
again from the Throne. But in Rev.
22. 13 (as 16 shows) it is, "I, Jesus,
that speaks," Even so in the first
book of our New Testament we read
at the beginning of Immanuel, "God is
with us," and at the end, "Loi I ata
with you.» And in the books between
there is continually the same free in-
terchange of attributes, with never a
sign that the writers -Jews, bred in a
consuming horror of compromising be-
lief in God as one -though such lan-
guage about the Man of Nazareth
startling or controversial. It was
simply taken for granted! Alpha -
The first letter of the Greek "alpha-
bet," and originally borrowed from
Semitic (compare Hebrew Aleph).
Omega -More accurately, 0, the ad-
jective mega (big), having been
added in the Middle Ages. There are
Hebrew parallels for thus using the
first and last letters of the alphabet,
Let us not forget that if God is A and
Z of life, as we should say, he must be
all the letters between.
17. Laid his right hand --The touch
of which had given life in the days of
his flesh (Luke 8. 54; 7. 14); through
it the nail of death had passed for him,
Fear not -A word, characteristic of
the Lord's earthly ministry. But we
must also compare Dan. 10. 19 and
context, and for the words of comfort,
Isa. 44. 6, which again remind us that
Jesus claims, of right, titles that be-
long to Jehovah alone.
18. The Living one -Jehovah is
preeminently "the living God," in con-
trast to the dead gods of idolatry. The
contrast Is here more amazing far.
Alive --"Living," not a new word,
Unto the ages of the ages (rnargin)-
.Ages whose movements are ages, the.
most emphatic of the expressions of
eternity. The keys -Compare Rev. 3.
7; 9. 1; 20. 1. In Wisdom 16, 13 we
read, "For thou hast authority over
life and death, and thou leadest down
to the gates of Hades, and leadest up
again." It is the supreme comfort of
Christianity that no other hand opens
those gates of the grave to close be-
hind our loved ones.
