One wonders just how far the English e. resident in Paris is right when he says this, says a writer in "T.

They have a habit of ;going di- re'ctly te the point, of seeing what is . before' them, of -exactly measuring the effort they need to make, aiid then of going through with"it in a business - id e•fashion.

They said, "Let us cease all else and devote our whole might to throwing back those Huns from Germany. Paris is France much mare than London is England, and so, when you are there, you feel yourself in the Wider -radius of the nation. You know ' what Paris is saying and doing France is saying and doing, because in France 111 roads lead to and from Paris. A summer visit to Paris is, therefore, extremely educative, for one learns, as much by atmosphere and instinct as ' by . hearing things said, just. how France is thinking and acting in this time' of cruel ordeal. Her thoughts spring, quickly into her expression, and you can read them with especial ease in the comely face of Paris, al- though, indeed, the tidings which the French papers are able to give of thee war; thanks to the energy of the cen- -sol', are not very full. If information often goes unpublished for inilitary reasons the effect of it nevertheless circulates about, as news does, they say, in a desert. Some people do odd things in try- ing to get even.

One of the popular notions is the narrow band of velvet, faille, or picot edged moire ribbon, drawn around the waist and tied in long ended fiat bows. Perhaps the greatest number of possibilities for varying the simple dress, when one has a limited supply of clothes, lie in the guimpe. These as a rule are charmingly simple, de- pending for effect upon the color con- trast, the soft sheerness of the ma- terial, and perhaps a buttclh or two, or a jewelled buckle by way of trim- ming. . The everyday dress of serge, taffeta, or broadcloth may have a variety of these guimpes for all hours of the . day for morning wear there will be one of plain black satin or taffeta; ,forafternoon, and informal evening affairs, club ;luncheons, and teas, a guimpe. of crepe Georgette, chiffon cloth, or net,in a harmoni- ously contrasting shade will render the costume dressy enough and most becoming. , Another convenience is the three- piece, semi -tailored suit consisting of coat and skirt, combined with blouse of satin, chiffon -cloth, crepe 'cle Chine or other contrasting, material, in the same color or a shade that combines well with the color of the suit. A suit like this is easily fashioned at home, as there is absolutely no sign of the old-time tailored stiffness, padding,. and various other things which a few seasons ago made the idea of fashion- ing a coat at Monte so alarming. The touch of fur which is so much a part of these suits just now, renders them smart and becoming, as well as warm. Among the novelties noticed on many of these fur trimmed suits is the "muff cuff." These are wide and flaring, made of fur or a fur fabric, and arranged so that the hands may be slipped into them quite eas one 682e Ribbon Trimmed Serge Frock. crepe Georgette veiling, emerald green. crepe Georgette. The guimpe was made with a high collar finished at the top with a tiny frill of white; and closed straight down the front with small dull gold buttons. Narrow black moire ribbon formed the girdle, closing on the left side in a small flat bow with long streaming ends. Six bands of the moire ribbon - had been set on to the skirt at graduated inter- vals, giving the effect of flounces, and adding wonderfully to the appear- ance of the simple frock. The ribbon, which the weaxer had herself applied, made the commonplace dress most at- traetive and unusual. The simplest frocks or blouses may be trade attractive and becoming by adding contrasting cuffs, or an un- usual 'collar; these may be made re- movable and others substituted at will, thus achieving a pleasing change when the, dress is becoming somewhat worn, It is an easy matter to fashion any number of these contrasting sets from bits of velvet, or ribbon (which is at the height of popularity for trimmings of all sorts just now), crepe Georgette, or chiffon. Nothing is softer or more beeoining than a hemstitched collar of crepe er chiffon, it will add a dressy_ look to the plain- est of costumes, here is a great 685r• Showing the Muff Cuff. would use a muff. This idea is es- pecially practical for the suit for shopping or general wear, also for the heavy teat, as there is no danger of losing a valuable snuff. - While speaking of the muff it is interesting to note that the muff cord or chain is again in favor, . One sees it often; knotted satin and noire rib- bon often form the cord; the reguia tion twisted silk cord is favored too, and the jewelled chain is smart and effective. fur trimmed petticoats pantalettes are andamong 't;htesea- son's startling novelties; while the idea, is somewhat ridiculous, a glimpse 1 of the fur edged petticoat showing beneath the heavy suit is nevertheless attractive and fetching.

Intimate Chat About the Great and the Famous. •sf. Cedard, the ,chief chef at Buck- ingham Palace, has a salary of £2,000 per annum. Admiral Beatty is one of the best swimmers in the Navy. He learnt to swim at three years old. The Hon. Thomas Mackenzie, High Commissioner for New Zealand, has smoked the same pipe, a large bulldog briar, for eleven years. Lord Haldane in the summer Months usually rises at four o'clock in the morning, and writes or reads in his garden until breakfast -time. When Lady French was at school she won a prize in a 'miffing com- petition. The prize was a set of sil- ver knitting needles, which are still in her position. Prince von Bulow, the former Ger- man Foreign Secretary,has served as a diplomatist in more countries out- side his own than any other member of the diplomatic profession. Mr. Alfred de Rothschild is contin- ually presenting his more intimate friends with valuable gifts. His ex- penditures in this direction is said to amount to •10,000 per annum. Mr. Gogligher, financial adviser to General French, makes the study of folk -lore tales his chief recreation; he took a small Iibrary of such books with him to the Front. Sir John MilbankeV.C., who was recently killed in action in the Dar- danelles, had of late years made a special study of finance. He is one of the few distinguished soldiers who have done so. King George is on more intimate and friendly terms with the Tsar than with any other European monarch. For many years past the two sover- eigns have corresponded with each other very regularly. The Duke of Newcastle is the most notable amateur photographer in the House of Lords. His Grace has se- cured pictures in practically every country in the world, and his favorite "subjects" are children. Sir John Simon, when a boy, was told by a palmist that he would one day achieve fame as an actor. As all successful barristers and politicians are in a measure great actors, the palmist was not so far wrong. Mr. and Mrs. Asquith usually dine 'at a quarter to nine; dinner is served at Buckingham Palace at eight o'clock. Sir Edward Grey likes to dine at half -past seven, when Itis du- ties at the Foreign Office allow him to do so. Lord Crewe has the most valuable collection in England of letters writ- ten by celebrities. Lord Crewe is said in the past ten years to have written on an average two letters a day, de- clining to be interviewed on the sub- ject of this collection. Miss Charlotte Knollys, who has been for forty-two years in Queen Alexandra's. household, and is her Majesty's oldest and most intimate friend, .can write in German, French and Italian, but in addition to her native tongue, she can only speak in French. Sir Percy Girouarci suffers some- what fromindigestion, and lives on the simplest fare. The malady was induced from his habit of working at. Meals,especially at dinner. 11:o used to have placed beside hint at dinner a small writing -pad and pencil, and during the meal he would work out the most complex calculations, no doubt much to the benefit of the great armament firm to which Sir Percy be- longs.

Golden Text: Hos. ii, 4. 1. The Waywardness of Israel (Verses 1-7). Verse 1. My son—Egypt, Assyria, and Phcenieia were all powerful na. tions with proclivities and possessions which Israel could not command. Yet God passed them over and called puny Israel when yet a child to be his son (compare John 1. 12-13; 1 John 3).: Out of Egypt—The prophets and Psalmists, as well as the historians, never let Israel forget bow God. called them from their misery th Egypt to their swell -being in Palestine. 2. The more they went from them, Israel was favored with the best teachers to instruct them. But the more they were taught the more wayward they became. God's bounty " was too prodigal for them. 3. I took them on my arms --As 'a loving father would take a disobedient child. 4. As they that lift up the yoke The picture is that of a team of bul- locks driven by a kind driver. Israel is pictured not as "wanton young cattle ... which need the yoke firmly' fastened on their neck, but a team of toiling oxen mounting some steep road." They are not driven from be- hind, but drawn from in front. No man can come to ine," saith Christ, except the Father draw him." 7. M -y people are bent on backslid- ing from me—Hosea sees that kind- ness, as such, will not prevail. Stern- er discipline is necessary. - II. The Enduring Love of God (Verses 8-11). 8. How shall. I give thee up?—Ho- sea's optimism, born of his faith and love, cannot let him see God casting Israel off. God's mercy is exhaust- less. No sin of man can enchain it nor use it up. As Admah ... as Zeboim—Obscure cities of the plain (Dent. 29, 22, 23). 9. I will not execute the fierceness of nine anger—Justice will be tem- pered with mercy. 11. I will make then to dwell— They will finally weary of their way- wardness, they will smart under the lash of their enemies, and as subdued transgressors will return to their God, 4i The Proper Place.
