HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1910-09-08, Page 2Cloaks and wraps are the first to in-
diee.te the trend of Million for the com-
ing winter, and already it le quite appar-
ent that the extra wrap or outer gar.
men t will be ah impostent factor in the
winter outfit. The smart, severe, tailor -
street gown le considered an absolute Ile-
eessity by almost every woman, but
with the fashions of the preeent moment
the real tailor gown has little in com-
mon, for its always more or lea's onser.
vative lines are totally at variance with
the still extreme styles thet are so no-
ticeable. The .one-pieee gown, so called,
though now it is in two pieces, skirt
and waist, is not always compatible with
a coat of the eatue material, for a weight
of fabrie teat is best for a skirt and
waist is often impossible for an outer
garment, being- either too heevy or too
light. Then there must be the extra
Wrap, -coat or etoak, for there are very
few days, in America at all events dur-
ing the autumn when the gown athout
a coat is sufficiently warm.
This has been and is a season when
the wearing of scarfs of all .kinds hes
been most fasbionable, and while many
bave been of thin materials suitable for
summer there have been .many of silk
and satin, which are now being made up
with an interlining to (five more warmth
and are also being copied in velvet, mars,
bout and. cloth and fur; the velvet scarfs
are most effective of softest chiffon vel-
vet, preferably black, lined with white
satin,. They are on the eitine lines as the
popular black and white eatin scarf,
made two yards in length and from a
half to three-quartere of a yard in
width, the ends fiuished with a silk tas-
sel. Those made on the straight are a
little more clumsy around the neck than
the.ones on the bias, but the latter have
of necessity seams, which many -object
to as marring the material.
Graceful New Cloaks.
Cloaks are far more graceful than
estate for wear with many of the new
gowns and there is nothing exaggerated-
ly extreme about the smartest, In or-
der, however, to introduce some novel
effects there are two or three models
that have the ungraceful band to bold
in the fulness around the bottom of the
cloak, but the fulness caught in is only
at the back, and does not give the same
ugly effect as when it extends entirely
around, and. the woman who look hese
in the cloak that is not caught, in at all
can be quite content in the assurance
that she is not wearing an out of fasshion
garment. The backs of all the wraps
are most carefully planned so that as
much length of line as poseible is given.
They are also cut to ewe a slender ate
pearanee. If a coat rather than m. cloak
then the streight, feat baek is the more
fashionable; if a cloak with undersleeves
tben there, is more fulness below the
shoulders, but at the same time the
seams and the material a% well must
bang as straight aa possible.
in sharp contrast to the straight, nar-
row effect of the gowns. and coats there
are some most. becoming and effective
wraps that are extremely wideand full,
the fronts so wide and long that they
can be crossed over and one end thrown
over the shoulder. Made in softest Can-
ton crepe, chiffon velvet or satin, the
latter not so new; but just as popular,
these are most becoming garments.
Cloth is also used, but is not nearly so
satisfactory a material, for even the
very softest and most exquieite quality
dots not give the same effect. as it le
too thick, the most fashionable wraps
at present being the ltghtest in weight,
and desired warmth being obtained by
an underlining, The embroidered and
beaded Canton crepes are extremely
smart for this purpose and are too- ex-
pensive for thee- purpose andare jho

Lightest to carry out the lines that are
demanded.
This being an age when all sorts and
deecriptions of materials are being used,
it is not so remarkable that what was
once considered suitable for furniture
covering should be utilized. Long even-
ing eoats of brocade and tapestry re-
calling priests' robes are exhibited as
among the very latest fashions,. and Ore
coula not be anything more beautiful
in coloring,design and texture. The
great danger is in the choice of color
and weight of material. If the too
heavy and sti.ff is selected, then the gar-
' ment looks heavy and lacks the smart
appearance demanded.
All white, or all black evening cloaks
are not so fashionable as the colored,
and there is a wide range of elloice,
from the vivid shades to the soft pastel
colorings. The latter are most charm-
ing and generally becoming, but the
bright blue, yellow, cerise, green and
illative are extremely effeetive, while
for thoae who prefer sharp contrasts
in color the combining of two colors
can be well worked out. One model, a
black liberty satin, lined with an ex-
quisite shade of eerise, is popular, while
a pale blue with a pale yellow is also
attractive. Gray with cerise is it dan-
gerous combination unless just Ott
right shades are selected, but none the
less it is fasItionable, While two shades
of purple are moat effectively combin-
ed, An embroidered crepe in dull yel-

in contrast, but it Is immensely becom-
ing and very smart, and furthermore
has the immense advantage of being
appropriate both as an afternoon and
an evening wrap, so that it will be cop-

Velvet Evening Wraps.
Velvet evening wraps for winter are
adready being exhibited by the leading
dressmakers, who allow their favored
customers a glance at these marvels,
and also a chane to purehase at the
highest price. It requires a most reso-
lute and firm spirit of self-denial not
to yield to their fascinations. A purple
velvet evening coat has a deep yoke ef-
fect in rows of shirring or cording across
the shoulders, the upper part of the
sleeves geld the fronts, then down the
fronts are heeds of marah.out the exact
shade. of the velvet, with a. innch wider
band around the bottom, The model
exhibited is in the light shade of helio-
trope, but would look equally well in
any other color except black. If made
up in black there would' be the risk
that it might uot be becoming, for black
marabout next the face is rather a dan-
gerous experiment for any but the most
perfeet of complexions, and the great
point of this garment is in the trimming
and material matching so perfectly.

they refused. 4. Sent forth other ser-

prophecy of what tbe Jews would do a

"There are three states in Which men

losing their soule: 1. That of a soft,
idle, voluptuous life, wherein a man
thinks of nothing but quietly to enjoy

ures, and public diversions. 2. That
of a man wholly taken up with agri-
cultural or commercial employments, in
which the love of riches, and applica-
tion to the means of aequiring them,
generally stiffle all thoughts of eal-
vation, 3. That of a man who is open-

injuriously treats all those who bring

The preparation. 1. "I have prepared
my dinner" (y, 4.) 'There was provision
for all who tvoule Mlle. It Was a "feast
of fat things" (Fa. 25, le) "bread" that
would "forever" satisfy (john. O. 58; Psa
22. 20); "water" that wbuld quench any
thirst (John 4., 14); "wind" that would
iefresh and not intoxicate `Ise. 55- 1);
"meat" that the world knows not of
John 4. 32); and "pleasures for ever-
more" (Psa. 16. 11); yet when the
call came "they would not come" (v. 3),
"but made light • of it, and went their
ways" (v, 5). We would never believe it
did we not read it. 2. "Ready" (v. 4).
The sacrifice is slain, the offering is ac-
cepted, the fountain for cleansing is fill-
ed, the Holy Spirit is here, the feast is
prepared.
The call. "Come" (v. 4). A gentleman
travelling in Palestine said to a resident,
"I noticed the person at whose house we
dined last evening sent a servant to call
us when the dinner was ready. Is this
the custom?" "Yes, among the wealthy

accept the invitation. Then, wlien every-
thing has been prepared, the infester of

The commission, I. "Go" (v. 9). The
word of gospel commission. "Go thou
and preach the kingdom of God" (Luke
9. 60). "Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations" (Matt. 28. 19) "Go ye into all

SCARCITY 0.6 CATTLE,
Now, when the Ontario farmer has
been blessed with an abuedance of field
crops, he is confronted with the question
what to do with it all. A good market
for the cereal grains is assured, but the
live stock industry is depended upon to
set the value for those crops winch ere
generally used for feeding. Beeense of
the heavy yields of fodder in Ontario
this year, farmers and distillers are
very ergent in their demands for rough
feeders and stokers, and hi previous
years thele men have lind no difficulty
in getting all they wanted. The present
seasan, however, teems to be an excep-
tion, for on the total markets at the
present time it is impossible for dealers
to obtain adequate supplies of feeders.
The weetern provinces are helping to
supply the demand in the east, but from
the ratielies there Mao eonies ettord that
cattle are scarce and tvill be very expen-
sive during the fall and winter. Per the
greater part of the past Rummer prices
for good cattle at Winnipeg have been
so high that it will not pay to ship them
to eastern markets, 1.1 Canada fleas her-
self "Mimi" of live stock em ulorie of
grain end fodder this year the eastern
peovinces should smize the oportunity to
retrenth an indttetty which, while It tint
yielded handsomely to the farmer in the
pest two rare, has fallen into a deplor-
able state of uncerthinty,--Olobe.
