To be prepared in advance for all the

happy fate that befalls few individuals.
For the most enthusiastic lover of
clothes, as well as the most practical of
managere, rebels against the amount of

mer outfit that is up to date in every
detail, not to speak of the money ques-
tion. For the first spring days -spring
according to the calendar if not the
reigning temperature -the smart street
costume is absolutely necessary to com-
fort. Then there must be the smart
gown suitable for the spring reception or
bridge, and the two, with an attractive
theatre gown, are sufficient to get
through the two or three weeks before
the weather has settled down into a
much higher record of temperature, es.
pecially if each and every one of these
.gowns is perfect -and there ars two or
three others of the winter wardrobe still
in fairly good order.
To be quite comfortable there must be
included in the spring outfit more than
one new street gown, for the tailor -cos-
tume that is heavy and warm enough
for the cool days of spring is quite out
of the question in the warmer days,
which, bowever, are still cool enough to
Cali for a gown of more weight.
But in these days of resource there
are so many different weights of cloth
that the difficulty can soon be solved.
There must be provided the gowns for
warm weather, the coat and skirt of
lightest wool, pongee, silk, linen and, for
more formal occasions, erepe de chine
and satin. These, be it remembered,
have alwaye the coat to match, even
when the gown is in one piece insteail
of skirt and waist.
Foulard and Voile de Sole.
This is to be a season of smart thin
gowns foulard 'and, voile de soie, which
has been so often described and alluded
to that it would seem as though its very
popularity would write an early dismis-
sal from the ranks of fashionable ma-
terials. Foulard, too, has been sold in
such quantities for several weeks as to
make the more conservative minded won-
der if it CCM possibly continue to be de-
sirable, but it is material that possesses
rare advantages. It is delightfully cool
and light in weight, there are many
qualities that cannot be injured by rain,
it sheds the dust, lends itself to the
shaped effects, and.if made in a tight
fitting 'Waist is a becoming material in
so far tbat it clings to the figure. One
of the familiar styles of the season is to
combine it with another fabric, liberty
satin, voile de soie or serge, and also to
make up figured foulard With the plain
colon of the other material. This all
tends to a variety of effect that is at-
tractive and permits of a bit of original-
ity, so that the danger that always ex-
ists when a fashion is both practical and
popular of having every woman dressed
alike is obviated.
There is, an unusually large variety in
color and design in the foulards this
treason. The white ground with white
figure and the dark ground with white
figure are alike to be found in -tenet
seems like an. endless choice. The al-
ways popular polka dot is omnipresent
and in a most extraordinary range of
sizes and, designs, rings of white, thee de-
signs, stripes and checke, until to choose
among so many requires cool judgment.
The bothered foularas are exceptionally
attractive this year, and the border can
be so satisfactorily dealt with that trim-
mings are unnecessary. Black and. whit,
.eolor and white, all 'with borders, are
displayed with an edge of darker or
plain black as a- finish. There are most
artistic and becoming shadings of gray
in the bordered foulards, as well as the
blue and white, and black and white,
that always appear when foblards are in
favor, and, this year all the nutny shades
Of red are much in evidence.
For practical wear nothing is better
then the black ground with white polka
riots, arid it is extraordinary how this
design stays in fashion year after year.
This gossamer it is combined with plain
bleek liberty satin most effectively, but
there are just as many satisfactory
gowns turned out that are entirely of

models for the coat and skirt costnmes,
but the simpler designs are the smart-

lar, revere and cuffs of the jacket are
sufficient to give the smart effect, Pon-

Foulard, the figured foulard, combined
with plain pongee or rajah, is an attme-
tivis fashion, the foulard used in the
saane way as when combined with serge
in facings and linings and sometimes in
the separate waist. Much depends in
these combined materials on the colors,
and. it is by no means an easy task to
mat& the shades, so that often it is bet-
ter to choose some oue color that is not
so extremely fashionable that it can only
be found in one material and to match it
involves Insure of weary search.
Shepherd Plaid Effects.
Shepherd plaid effects, as are known
the black and white check effects, and,
indeed, all the eliecke of color aud white,
are as popular as ever, despite the fact
that they are turned out by the then.
sands. The shepherd plaid street cos-
tumes in wool, serge, silk linen, and silk
are still being made at the more expen-
sive establishments. But there is a
most wonderful difference 'between the
ordinary cheap ones and the expensive.
Of late there have been seen many trim-
med with bands of plain mate ial. This
style is new and is often attractive, but
cannot be generally recommended, ,for
the plain band cuts the figure so un-
becomingly, and there again comes the
trouble of the exact matching. Bands
of white are the latest color scheme,
and it must be admitted they look smart
and novel in linen or pongee.
Gathered and side pleated skirts are
now to be seen in the foulard and ponce
gowns, with wide and narrow side pleat-
ings, and black and white striped silk
skirts, accordion pleated, are most clever-
ly made BO as to show either the all
black or all white. The gathered skirt
has not as yet been .enthusiastically
greeted, and when it proves successful,
which means becoming, it has been most
carefully and wonderfully dealt with,
for when fashion positively demands
long, sikeder lines and then commands
gathered or pleated skirts, the dress
maker's life is a weary one indee4, as
only by most careful fitting and cut-
ting can pleats and gathers be disposed
ef so that there will not be too much
fulness to make the wearer look large
around the hies. 'The pleated or gath-
ered skirt, with its fulness held in
around the ankles with a straight band
or fold, is supposed to help in solving
the problem, but it requires a master
workman or workwoman to obtain the
desire.d results. A. T. Ashmore.
LITTLE HELPS FOR THE MOTHER
Do not cut out baby garments with-
out patterns, as these may be had for
everything the modern baby wears. It
pays to buy one. If copying from anoth-
er baby's frock cut first in cheap mat-
erial.
With constant changes in baby gar-
ments keep up to date, The good pat-
tern for baby has comfort for its first
consideration. The little clothes should
be hygienic in shape, material and light-
ness.
A dainty barrio coat is made from
straight strips of flannel for the valet,
with straps over the shoulders to keep
it on, and one end longer and pointed
to lap around the back. Goredalsreadths
of flannel are sewed to this waist with
little fullness. These open up the front
and are finished with a four inch hem
at boteom. Lines of briar stitching mark
the edge of facing on each side of front
and outline the hem. It also trims the
waist. a half inch in from edge.
A. barrier coat is made longer than an
ordinary flannel petticoat so that the
ends can be turned up to protect baby's
feet. Safety pins are used for this pur-
pose, or double button -holes are put
through the hems and buttons in corres-
ponding places on front of skirt.
Embroidered flannel petticoats are
made in two ways; either with the en-
tire garment cut of the material, the
neck and sleeves being finished with a
tiny embroidered scallop, or it is fasten-
ed to a plain muslin -waist with only the
bottom of Plitt embroidered. The lenrill
is just a trifle shorter than the white
petticoat and frock.
Wrappers are made both with and
without yokes. The latter is the favor-
ite, cut to fit smoothly over the should-
ers, and fall in straight not too full
breadths to the bottora of slip. The
kimono wrapper is much used, but is
not so warm as a pattern with sleeves.
There is usually a small turn down col-
lar and turn back cuffs. Sometimes a
wrapper haa a light hood that can be
pulled over baby's head in a draughty
room.
The embroidery on a wrapper may be
as simple or as elaborate as one wishes
provided the general effect is delicate.
Briarstibehing down each side, across the
bottom of skirt, and on cuffs and collies
is always in good taste. Or the edge can
be buttonholed around the entire wrap-
per either in white or color. Sometimes
the buttonholed edge has a briar-stitcla-
ed eine about a, half inch from the
points of !scallops, or more etylish yet is

Many of our girls will tremble be-
fore the stiff little "grenadier" hat
as it appears for the accompanine of
spring costutnes. But when once the
summer girl inspects herself in the
mirror crowned in its quaint lines she
will bew holly reconciled to its odd-
ities. When made of rough • strove
and faced with becoming satin or
velvet and crowned by a stiff little
feather it is very smart indeed.

tory being divided, between them, Archie

fourth part of the territory that bad

Es was the ambition of Antipas to be
called king, and this titlewas sometimes
aPPlieti to him through courteey. Heard
the report concerning Jesus (R. V.) -
Jesus had been engaged in Ma public
ministry for more than two years, and
His teachings and miracles had been
widely reported and the news had reeele-
ed to the palace of Herod Antipas. Thi
ruler had deserted his first wife, the
daughter of Aretas, the Xing of Arabia,
and Aretas made war upon Herod to
avenge the wrong done his daughter
thus the tetrarch was kept busy with
his enemy on the southeastern bordei
of his dominion. It has therefore been
suggested that Antipas lied but reeeutly

ing wrought by our Lord.

waging with Aretas. For Herodias' sake
-Herodias was the daughter of Aristo-
bulus, the son of Herod the Great. She
had married her unele, Herod Philip,
whom she deserted for Herod Antipas.
Herod Antipas had put away, his wife,
the daughter of Aretas, for the sake of
forming a union with Herodias. 4. For
lobe said unto him -There was courage
in that rugged prophet of the wilderness
to declare the truth in the presence of
the ruler, even though that truth was in
the highest degree unpalatable to the
guilty pair. John spared neither com-
mon sinners, nor sinners high in the so-
cial scale in his denunciation of iniquity.
Not lawful for thee -Herod was guilty
in putting away his wfie; was guilty in
taking the wife of his brother (Herod
Philip was 'living); was guilty in marry-
ing hie niece, who was also his sister-
in-law. Herodias was unprincipled and
ambitious. She had married Herod Phil-
ip, the eldest son of Herod the Great,
tbinking that he would enter upon the
inheritaace of his father, but, when
Philip was disinherited and became poor,
she deserted him for Antipas, who was
tetrarch and rioh. It was proper for
John /to reprove Herod. "1. Herod's
comae was bringing untold evils upon
the people. John bould not effectively

Why? Why did Herodias hate John?
Why was the marriage of Herod and
Herodias unlawful? Why did Herod fear
John? Who danced? What oath did

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
"Herod had laid hold on John," (v. 3).
Herod feard to offend Herodias and
yielding to that fear became the worst
of cowards. Cowardice is it refusal to
brave the dangers fear recognizes, or
suffer the consequence kif a right course
of action. Cowardice is not fear, but
yielding to leer. A hero conquers his
fears, a coward is conquered by them.
"John said" (v. 4). John was "the
voice" (Matt. 3:3). He first raised that
voice in straightforward warning to the
proud, self-righteous Pharisees (Matt.
3:7). He last used it in the strong de-
claration of the truth to a self-indul-
gent terarch. Through life he was true
to his mission. Luther was offered to be
made a cardinal if he would, be quiet.
He answered, 'No, not if I might be
pope," adding, "Let me be counted fool,
or anything, so I be not noe found guilty
of cowardly silence." The Papists, when
they could not rule him, called him apos-
tate. He confessed and Bidet, "I am in
deed an apostate, but a blessed apostate,
one that hath fallen off from the davit.
Christ liveth and reigneth; that's enough
for Lu there'
"The daughter of Herodias danced ..
and pleased Herod" (v. 6). This refer-
ence to dancing, which is ones of the
very few of the Bible records of dancing
as a social amusement, speaks of crime,
shamelessness and destruction. Harold F.
Bayles suggests, 'The dancing sanotion-
ed by scripture was always a religious
act (Psa. 149: 3; 150: 4), practised ex-
clusively ou occasions of national fes-
tivity and conquest (1 Sam. 21. 11; Jar,
81, 4), usually by maidens in the day
time, in open air, in highways, fields
or grceves' (Exod. 15. 20; Judg. 11: 34;
1 Sam. 18. 6)0 No instances: oceur 111
which smell sexes united in deeming, ei-
ther for worship or amusement. The
pot Bible quotation in defence of danc-
ing is Ecol. 3. 4. But sines: the Jews
knew of dancing only as a religious
ceremony, or an expression of grati-

Both fleets left their bases on Mon-

at 2 p. rn. on Tuesday. The general idea
was that Red, white ctruising in the
North Sea, received news that /111 en-
emy's fleet (Blue) was in home waters
to the, north. Red was to protect the
J3ritish coast against raids and bring
Blue to action,
