HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1910-04-28, Page 2The needs of the American woman
have been studied by the French de-
signer/3 in the fibulae lines of the clothes
for day wear, for the Americans in Paris
are customers worth pleasing. Up until
the last couple of seasons it hae been al-
most impossible to convince a French
dressmaker of the need of short dresses
for street wear for the American woman.
Tbe clean streets, always accessible °ate
and motors, make possible the comfort-
able wearing of a long dress. in Paris.
' The Parisians can ride to the door of
their destination, for there is always a
taxi within hailing distance at a trifling
cost, and one does not lutve to enter un-
clean street ears or trail for squares in
the dust. And Then another point in
favor of the long drees is that the
French boatmekers do not produce such
shapely smart footwear as the Ameri-
can workmen. The long square and point-
ed toes of the French shoes give an ex-
aggerated appearanee to the length of
the vamp, making the prettiest foot ug-
ly to look upon, through American eyes
at least. Under these conditions every
French WOMall knows full well that she
appears to better advantage in a dress
partially hiding the feet and even
though a shorter dress might mean more
freedom and comfort, who ever heard of
a gay Parisienne who would sacrifice
grace and beauty for mere convenience?
However, the influence of the Ameri-
can customers is telling in many ways,
and the smartest frocks for the younger
women and girls are made round length,
easily escaping the floor, and, like
many other American ideas, they are
being taken up enthusiastically by the
younger folks a the older women still
seeming to prefer the dignity of a slight
train especially for afternoon gowns.

I saw a charming Leghorn hat in a
picturesque style with drooping brim
covered all over the top of the crown
and brim with fine net dotted in black.
It was shirred at the centre to of the
crown and again at the 'base of the
crown, and then slipped over the edge
of the brim a depth of two inches. It
would be such a lovely and economical
idea to use in fixing over an old Milan

hide the defects and make it quite as

The trimming was very simple and
pretty, merely a bend of three -inch -wide

is designed in the simple lines of the

chie and pretty touch in contrast with

One of the pretty dotted foulards or
tiny checked silks in pink and white
would be lovely made in this fashion,
with a deep fold and sash of black
satin. Or the design would be equally
effective for your simple summer frocks

A crushed band of the same silk en-
circles the crown held with a saucy but-
terfly bow at the side.
Sailor Collars Popular.
Before I stop talking about the Am-
erican invasion of collars in Para; I
must tel you about the unquestiotiable
vague for the deep sailor collars of our
regulation suits which the designers,
with their usual ingenionenese, have
adapted in innumerabla ways on soft
dressy afternoon gowns, formal even-
ing wraps, as well as the practical lit-
tle morning dresses in a way in wlach
we never would have thought of wear.
Inge It is often a very different collar
from the one we are femiliar with, but
les identity is never completely lost, as
the square outline of the back is al-
ways retained. It is especially effective
on a dress for morning and country
wear like the one on the left side of
the illustration, which is made ef
pretty small checked mauve linen so
fashionable Ohs season. The blouse i=
designed with the long shoulder line of
the regulation garment, slipping over
the edge of the shoulder to the upper
arm and joining the slightly full sleeve,
with it narrew band cuff. The collar'
and revers are of black stain, while a
fine Normandy valenciennes lace, with
a straight edge, shields the low open
ing in it pretty manner, making it de-
lightfully cool for warm days. A bar-
row stitched belt confirtee the slight
fullness of the back and sides. An -
The Low Neck.
In a like manner has come about the
allimtion of the collarless frock or sep-
arate blouse, for which there is no real
need in the delightfully even climate in
Paris as in this country, where the soar-
ing thermometer plays havoc with
starclied collars and boned neckwesa.
Low-cut necks on blouses and dresses
have been worn since the early winter
by the mondaine set in Paris, and the
final seal of approval .has been placed
upon them in their adoption by all of
the big designers, and it is only natural
to suppose that they will be worn by
the grande dames. They ere shown in
the low flat Dutch or "Peter Pan" shape

'season; made of exquisite 'lace and em-
broidery on lovely afternoon gowns of
ailk and chiffon. Another favorite finish
to the low neck is the frill of plaited net
or chiffon with one or more tiny bows in
front.

disciples tuetified them in doaig on the
eabbath what otherwise they would bet-
ter not have done.
4. House of God -The tabernacle, then
at Nob, not far from jerusalena Did
eat the shewbread-The shewbread (in
Hebrew, the bread of the presence: that
is, of the divine presence) was placed
first in the tabernacle and afterward in
the temple of Solomon, on a table, in
the Holy Place. As the temple was the
home of God, so, symbolically, this was
the bread of God.-Witedon. There
were txvolve loaves, representing the
twelve tribes of Israel, placed fresh eael,
week on the table. This bread, at the
end of the Week, was eaten by tae
priests. David and his men, fleeing from
Saul, were weery and hungry. Abim-
clod, the priest of Nob, gave them five
loaves of the shewbread (1. Sam. 21),
which they ate contrary to the letter
of the law. Christ% argament was that,
if David could do this without blame,
it must be right for the •disciples to sat-
isfy their hunger on the Sabbath day.
a. Profane the Sabbath -Jesus contin-
ued his argument by showing that even
the law under certain circumstances pro-
vided for the doing of that which had
been expreesly forbidden in the law. On
the Sabbath days as well as on other
days the priests were engaged in killing.
preparing and burning the sacrifices and
in performina the whole temple service..
6. Greater than the temple -Inasmuch
as the one who banded 'the house is
greater than the house. Christ refers
hero to his own authority and power.
The law -giver is greater than the law.
"Christ was greater than the temple be-
cause, 1. The temple exists but for
Him. 2. It is but a place of assembly
where men may meet with Him. 3. How-
ever splendid, it is nothing except H.
be there. 4. However lowly, the presence)
of the great King makes of it a heat-
enly palace." -Gray. 7. If ye bad
Known -A. knowledge of the true mean-
ing of God's word will prevent rash
judgment. Jesus here charges his critics
with ignorance of their own phophets.
Mercy, and not sacrifice -See 1 Sam. 15.
22; Hosea 6. 6. "I desire mercy. I "re-
quire, mercy rather than sacrifice. It is
a protest by the phophet against the un-
loving, insincere formalist of his day.
Mere is something more binding than
law and that is the principle which
underlies the law. The law rightly un-
derstood is the expression of God's love
to man. That love allowed the net of
David and the labor of the priests, and
shall it not permit Christ's disciples to
satisfy their hungerr-Carr. It is a
Hebrew mode of speaking and means,
I prefer mercy to sacrifice; irk t am
more pleased with acts of beuevotence
and kindness than with a mere exter-
nal compliance with the duties of relig-
ion.-13s.rnee. Why must we be merciful?
1. 13ecauso God will have us mereiful.
2. Because charity is the sum of true
religion. 3. Because herein we imitate

NOVEL COCARDES.
One of. Watercress Around Lily Buds,

The flat cocarde or rosette of fly-
ers has made its reappearance on spring
hats; but as a rulo it lacks originality,
and one soon wearies of tightlyepaeked
button roses of rosebuds, with violets
as a "surround," or it halo of them over
green leaves.
"Thete cocardes are much smarter
when something more original is used,"
says a writer in The Queen. "I have
seen a pretty toque in dull green aria
just the shade of watercress, with well-
iraitated cresses surrounding a cluster of
golden water lilies and their hard
round buds.
"Another and more becoming was in

clump of unripe hazelnuts just turning

WOMEN'S CLOTHING.
Dr. Haig Ferguson, in it lecture a the
Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the other
day had some severe things to say
about the clothes of an adult women.
It was tampered by fashion and, super-
stition and nothing could be a greater
tribute to the strong nerves and power-
ful muscles of women than the fact that
their health had survived for centuries
their habits of clothing.
A woman's elothing was the despair
of the hygienist. Children and girls
were more sensibly clad, but when girls
grew up they were often clothed in a
way which made them unable.to
tun or breathe. Weighty skirts, low-
neeked gowns, "pneumonia blouses," the
modern hat, the highemeled shoe with
its pointed toe, were all condonnect.But
then women will have it so and so it
will remain.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
"I say unto you" (r. 6). Jesus always
spoke with "authority (Matt. 7;20).
The scribes taught by quoting from fa-
mous ra.bbie. Jesus announced the
truth. Ile was certain on every subject.
Ho put Hie words on a level with the
scriptures, and annulled their tradi-
tions. "It was eahl.....Thou shalt not
kill....but I say unto you, that whoso-
ever is angry with his biother...,shall
be in. danger" (Matt, 5:21, 22). The
matchless power of Jesus'/ words grew
out of the conseioueness that He was
sent of God (John 3:34; 7:16; 14:24).
"I will have mercy, end not sacrifice"
(v. 7), Love fulfils law. Mercy is be-
fore ordinance. Clemency is above cere-
teeny. Necessity rules legality. The
salvation of inan is sore than the pre-
servation of the Sabbath (Mark 2:27).
Judgment is God's "strange work"
(Isa. 28:21), "Ile delighteth in mercy"
(Mb. 7:18). Hie wrath is "for a nio-
ment" am 54:8), for a "day" (Rev.
0:17). His merey is "everlasting" (Psa.
100:5).
"Isere even of the Sabbath" (v. 8).
He made it for man when he made man
(Mark 2:27). He was the Judge to mark
any breach of it (v. 7). Ile owned it,
ennobled it, presided over it, kept it
(v. 8). He breathed into it aeliberty and
love unknown before (v. 13). After His
resurrection He ignored it IS part of
the law He had fulfilled, (Matt. 5:17,
18), and so he kept the first day. 1,
The day of Christ's resurrection. His
first five appearances were on the first
day. 2. The day of Penticoet, The day the
Holy Spirit was given (Acts 2:1) and
the glad tidings of salvation was filet
preached to the .multitude (Acts 2:11.
33, 41, 47). 3, The day the early Chris-
tians assembled for worship The day
"the disciples came together to break
bread" (Acts 20:7), and the Lord's re-
deemed people remembered his death
stud comiug again (1 Cor. 11:23-26); and
laid aside gifts for Chistian benevolence
(1 Cor. 16:2). The day the prophecy of
revelation was granted to John in Pat -
mos (Rev. r:10,11). There is no record
of a Christian worshiping on the Jewish
Sabbath, 4. The day recognized by all
the post -apostolic fathers. It is not
true, as some of the Seventh -day Ad-
ventists assert, that "the Catholics
changed the Sabbath to the first clay,
in the fourth century." The keeping of
the Lord's day WaS a special mark of
a Christian apolostic times. When ques-
tioned, "Keepcst thou the Sabbath?"
the answer was, "I am a Christian; I
must keep the Lord's day."
"It is lawful to do well on the Sala -
path days" (v. 12). Isaiah gives us
hints on the keeping of a "holy day"
(Isa. 58:13, 14). "The assembling of
ourselves together" (Heb. 10:25), the
laying aside money for the Lord's work
(1 Cor. 16:2), preaching the gospel, car-
ing for the afflicted and comforting the
saints (Ads 20:7-12), all this is to do
well on the Lord's day. Moody said,
"I believe the greatest curse in Ascii-
ea to -day is our Sunday newspapers.
They talk about ' Tammany in New
York, but I believe that these great
dailies that bring out their papers every
day of the week have done as much
harm as. Tammany."
"Stretch forth thine hand" (v. 13).
Jesus commanded the impossible and
gave the power that made it possible.
God never commands without giving
obility to obey.
"He stretched it forth" (v. 13. The
man (lid as he was told without 'waver-
ing or questioning. It was an net of

The Munchis aro almost the only
Nigerian tribe not subdued by the
British advance. They are tall, Pow-
erful savages, and fight with pawned
arrows, a. long native sword and a
kind of chisel knife etrapped to the
back of the right hand
The besieged Englishmen are Dis-
trict Commissioner Weld, Dr. McKin-
non, Capt. Lang, Lieut. Graham and
Color-Sergt. Henderson. They have
with them a company of the Southern
Nigerian Rifles and two Maxim guns.
The Munehishave been attacking
there. epiemodically for three months
past. Recently the British were re-
inforced by another company of na-
tive troops.
One of the severest -attacks was
made on the morning of Feb. 1, when
the Munchis tried to rush the station,
but were filially beaten off at night-.
fall on Feb. 15. During the fourteen
days the troops had praotically no
rest. Three-quarters of tho company
were on outpost duty round the sta-
tion, and the whole company were
under arms every day from 3.30 a. m.
till an hour after dark. One officer
sat up every night, and the rest slept
in their clothes.
A few days ago the Muuchis tried
again to beat the camp, and now they
are waiting for any small party that
ventures out of the station. A. few
men who ventured out under Lieut.
Graham were nearly cut off and had
a severe fight before they got back
to safety.
It is expected that an expeaition
will have to be sent out to deal with
%Rae cannibals, as the position ,f tbe
friendly tribes on the border s
carious, and the troops defending the
station are unable to cope with raids
at a distance.

Have Advanced.
Ottawa, April 25.-A further instal-
ment of the results of the special investi-
gation by the Department of Labor into
the increriee in the cost of living during
the peat twenty years is published to-
day. It relates to prices of dairy pro-
ducts and fish. A summary of the fig-
ures quoted shows that dairy products
were at their lowest in 1896 and 1807,
and at their highest in 1908, when the
general level was 36.3 per cent. above
the average for 1890 and 1899. Prices
in 1909 were slightly lower then in 1908,
though eggs were considerably I•igher,
being 71.5 per cent. above the average.
Since 1897 the price of eggs has eilvane-
ed approximately 122 per cent. In the
case of dairy products generally, prices
have advanced 46.6 per cent. since 1897.
In fish there has been a. similar rise
in pekes, the average being 34 per cent.
higher in 1909 than in the decade 1800
and 1899. The lowest year shown is
1892, since when prices have advanced
40.8 per cent.
