problem tof a becoming, smart and up-
to-date summer wardrobe has a harder
task as regards clothes than she 'tee
ever ad been given. Every woman
wants to be fashiouably gowned; but
also wants to be attractive, and how

est new from Paris is that the skirts
shall not be more than two yards wide
around the anklet, aud that any fulness
of the start shall be kept in place by
a broad strap or band, so that the ride
two' pints, and only two yards, in width
shall be maintained. To quote from a
letter writteu by one of fashion's lead-
ers after a visit to the leading dress-
meking establishments in Paris: "The
areoplane evidently dominates the dress
a this season, and every woman is
dressed Re though she were meditating
a trip in a flying machine. Grotesquely

band for fear they might Wow up wlien

wonder it is that both dreismakers and
customers spend hours and hour envolv-
ing designs that, 'while they may in-
dicate the lines of the eccentric styles,
have nothing else in common with them.
Short Skirt Popular.
The short skirt is far more popular
this year, than it has even been, and
not only are street costumes on the se-
vere tailor made order made in this
style, but the most elaborate of after-
noon and eveelng gowns as well. Very
smart and attractive and extremely prac-
tical are. these same short skirtsbut
they lack absolutely the Aerie, grace
and elegance of the long slart, and are,
in spite of being temporarly fashionable;
quite incongruous for an elaborate gown.
Pritotical they are for shopping, for trav-
elling, for motor excurslous, and at all
times possible for the woman who does
not own her own carriage or motor and
who prefers walking to going about in
public conveyences, but their very prac-
ticability and usefulness mark them as
net appropriate for any other use, where.
as the long skirt makes even the far
eirapler gowns appropriate for more for-
mal occasions. There are short evening
gowne, dancing frocks, as they were
first called, but now made for older wo-
men who do not dance* and in cons,-
quenee a balltoom totes more than half
of its attractive appearance, for even
the loudest in praise of the fashion ad-
mit that with a low cut waist a skirt of
ankle length is so short that it clears
the ground by two or three inches is
abnost invariably unbecoming. The
fashion plates ot the nineteenth cen-
tury, which are so often laughed at and
condemned, furnish perfect. specimens of
many of the .gowns of the present day,
and it is to he earnestly hoped that a
revolution in the styles will soon take
place.

terial for summer, is now in great fav-

and, sad to relate,:there generally is ful-
neas at the -top of The skirt—is gathered
into the parne bikit, but is not allowed
to flare above theband, and this is
where a clover dtessmaker succeeds and
a poor one fails, for if there can be any
mitigation of the offence it is in regulat-
ing the fulness and the width of the
band, mid by so doing not destroying
all lines of the figure. Both the plain.,
and figured designs are fashionable in
silk, and when the bordered silks are
used the material is most cleverly drap-
ed, so that the border serves as trim-
ming. The bordered silks, unless some
rare bargain as !secured, aro more expen-
sive than , the. others, but be it remem-
aered -ahat they require .no other trim-
eaing, and furthermore, if every penny

silk may be bought and trimmed with

woveu border.
Once again the high waisted styles are
to be noticed, and the veritable Em-
piro gown, which it was so confidently
stated could never be permitted, is more
than realieed in many of the very lat-
est gowns exhibited. With the high but
loosely corseted bust, the narrow ribbon

short skirt and the minute puffed

BUTTERFLY MANTLE.
Sets Itself Up as Rival to Tailor-

Last summer the supremacy of the
habille tailored suit was assured, but
to -day the Maitre couturiers are endeav-
oring to oust it from its enviable posi-
tion and are evolving the most fasein-
atin,g affairs to take its place.
The consensus of opinien is that they
have no easy task before them, mid
that they tvill only triumph provided
they can create e mantle or coat -which
shall in to way take away the youthful
charm of the wearer. In the past mantles
of all kinds have been deemed suitable
only for the woman who is -nearing the

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
Go "apart to pray" (v. 23). Prayer
is the want of man searching after the
wealth of God; the hand of weakness
grasping the hand of strength; the fel-
lowship of a son with his Father; the
communion of the beloved with the Ob-
ject of hive. Prayer does not change
the unchangeable One. Prayer changes
us and puts us in a condition to prove
God's promises and receive his gifts.
_Jesus commanded, "Enter into thy
closet" (Matt. 6:6), and he did as ha
taught. He always found a, place in
which to "pray" (Mark 14:32; Luke 22:
3D; John 18:2). So should we; some
quiet corner in attio or kitchen, woot-
shed or guest chamber, barn or grove;
some spot sacred to communion with
God. A clergyman, showing his friend
through his parsonage, opened the door
of a neat, pleasant little room ova the
hall, which contained a chair, table and
Bible. "This," said he, "ix our room for
prayer. Any. one can retire here for
private devotions, It is consecrated to
that object, and used for no other. It
is the most used town in the house."
Be swift to help. Jesus went unto
them" (v. 25). "Jesus spake unto them'
(v. 27). "Immediately Jetus ea:Oohed
forth His hand" (v. 31). Let us be swift
to bear one another's burdens (Gal. 6,
2). Be teady with sympathy for the
oppressed, eharity for the erring, teara
for the broken-ireerted, help for the pov-
erty-stricken, and an outetretehed hand

ed thoee struggling men in danger of
drownig. Preeently one said, tLetts
give a cheer." A glad, hurrah was three
times shouted. Ahnost immediately
the ropes were disentangled and the
well- nigh disheartened men, stimulated
by the cheer to new hope, held out and
were saved.
"Look not around thee" (Isa. 41, 10,
R. V., marg.). Look unto Jesus (Bele
12, 2). When Peter "saw the wind beim
terous, he was afraiad (v. 30). Peter,
looking at Jesus, "walked on the water";
Peter, looking at the waves, began to
'sink. Do not see the sueroundings; see
the Saviour. Do not look at the giants;
look at God (Num. 13, 33),
See Jesus at "the Son of God" (v. 33).
To got Christ to doubt His Sonsalp was
Satan's first effort (Matt. 4, 3). For
this claim to Sonship men hated Him,
mocked Him, crucified Hint (John 19, 7).
If We claire. to be sons of God, and our
claim is true, we than suffer front the
world. Scripture ia explicit as to the
troth of Christ's divinity: I. The Father
said, 'This is my beloved Son" (Matt.
3, 17). 2. John the Baptist declared,
"This is the Son of God" (John 1, 31).
Hie disciples said, "Thou art the ,aon of
Goa" (v. 33). 4.*Jeses Himself admitted
to Pilate that Ile was the Son of God
(Matt. 28, 63, 64). The creed of Chris.
tendoiu says, "I believe ie God the Fa-
ther Altnighty—and in Jesus Chritt,

Veilings No Longer Confined to
Ladies of Romance.
"Seen through chiffon darkly" is a
modern adaptation of the Biblical say-
ing that is rather nice, do you not
think?
We are veiling everything, from lin-
ens to brocade, via foulards and tussores
and crepes de chines. One of the most
representative emporiums has a special
display of sapphire and bleu de nuit al-
lied with purple. Every oonceivable
gown is eepresented in this striking
combination.
An exceptionally beautiful example is
an evening toilette, the long, clinging
bleu de reit satin skirt, veiled in a tun -
le that falls direct from a shaped gar-
niture, defining the decolletago, of pur-
ple silk uct, ornamented at the item

embroidery executed in silver, mingled

Calais, May 30.—judging from the

been in eollision with te avast

is little chant* of raising her. They,
say as the result of theie listed ind

that her crow of three officers and. 25

The Pluviose was again located to-
night after having been driven from
her mud mooring at the bottom of
the English Channel 'to -clay by the
swift lower currents.
To -night -various craft are moored
above the spot where lies the plunger
with her dead company of 27 men,
sending down divers, in an endeavor
to fasten chains about the wreck, so
that it may be raised to the surface.
That the men iti the Pluviose all
perished is the belief of the naval of-
ficers, who are assisting in the wreck-
ing operations. Naptha on the surface
of the Timer ieads them to the belief
that the inner shell of the submarine
was shattered by the blow of the Pas

EYE -WITNESS' GRAPHIC ACCOUNT.
London, May 30.—"I was on dec1c.
on the as de Calais when she ram-
med and sank the French submarine and
was an eye -witness of the whole awful
affair," said A.. C. Bowles, foreign re-
presentative of the Joseph Dixon Cru-
cible Co., of Jersey City, to -day.
"The sea was a little choppy," Mr.
Bowles continued, "but not rough. We
were about three miles out from Calais
when I noticed what I took to be a sun-
ken fishing smack about 400 yards.
straight ahead. Nothing of the boat
was visible but the mast and we were
steering right for it.
"When we 'were 100 yards off some-
one rushed from the pilot house, looked
at the mast and rushed back again, but
we seemed neither to slacken our speed
nor to change our course; we went head
on for the niast.
"When we drew close I saw it was
not a mast, for its two stays were fas-
tened peculiarly. Apparently it was a
steel pole or tube.
A. HORRIBLE SENSATION.
"The next moment we struck the
pole with such a frightful jolt that
nearly fell. We passed over the pole
and over something else," said Mr.
Bowles, shuddering. "I could feel it
grating on the keel. It was a horrible,
,sensation.
"I knew then that we had hit some-
thing heavier than a fishing smack.
I looked aft, and as the Pas do Calais
slowed down I saw the pole bobbing up
in the water.
"It got about 300 yards aft on the
starboard side before we stopped. Then
we backed toward it and an order was
given to lower a lifeboat. All this took
more than fifteen minutes.
"Meanwhile the bow of the craft we
had struck gradually rose out of the
water and I realized it was a subma-
rine, for I saw the tricolor, painted on
blue, fixed to her prow.
"There was a great commotion on
the Pas de Calais. Several fashionable
women grew very white and seemed
about to faiut. No one knew how badly
our own boat was damaged.
"The lifeboat rowed slowly to•the dis-
abled eubmatine, twelve feet of -.chose
bow was now in the sir at an angle of
45 degrees. The rest of the hull re-
mained under water.
"The lifeboat unshipped her rudder,
and stopped while it was being shipped
again.
"The situation was horrible," said Mr.
Bowles. I never felt such a sickening
sensation. We lay to, gradually drifing
towards the eubmarine, but nothing was
done to help her. I cannot hem think-
ing thee our captain might have got out
a steel hawser and at Mesta:tied to fas-
ten it around the submarine to keep her
afloat, or partly afloat.
, "Finally, when we were about fifty
yards off, the submarine's bow gradu-
ally sank oui; of sight. The vessel's oil,
oozing up, settled the' waves. It was
like a wounded water creature shedding
its life blood.
"Tins was twenty-five minutes after
we struck the submarine. Nothing bad
been done te save it, and I heard zio
order given toward meeting the emer-
gency on 011r boat, which carried 200
passengers.
