One of the marked features of the the. etre and restaurant goevu is the fur an velvet trimmings used with lace an' chiffOn.

The fashion for short skirts continues to be deereed, and even the twist expen- sive materials are made in this style, but that the fashion will leet is not to be too strongly relied, upon.

The velvet gowns this winter are t be extremely smart and original. Th smartest are remarkably simple in de sign, rather on the order of those 'wor for the last few seasans by very youn girls. The skirt is short enough to elect the ground, gathered into the tvaist ban and with broad band. around the lowe part of the skirt. The waist, with som little fulness, is joined to the skirt unde a cording or piping of velvet. A silk oi satin belt with long sash ends and a wide lace collar and cuffs comptetes th only trimming. In description it ma seem as though a gathered velvet skir would be clumsy and unbecoming to the figure, bet be it remembered that the skirt, while not scann ia cut so narrow that there is not such a lot of material to be made way with around the waist and the lines of ho skirt, being quite straight up and down, give an effect of slenderness that makes even a stout per- son look well. leaseinnting are the new colors in velvet, in bin; purple, dust brown, green and red, and not only in chiffon velvet, but in the best qualities of velveteen and eorduroy. That a vel- vet gown should be included iri the. win- ter outfit is quite evident.

'it Ave More, LATE SMARTNESS IN PARIS FROCKS. The dominant note of the coming sett. son in Paris will be elegant simplicity, reached by the medium of most vete ous materials. I have seen the colleo tions of Worth, Beer, neanne Hance, Dreeoll, Zimmennann and Weeks. Each has a certain individuality, yet all tend toward the same lines. Worth is state, ly in all he designs, and one knows that the influence of Royal circles is always upon him. Liberty, brocade, velvet and handsome embroideries are his favorite mediums, Beer is ft, devotee of color; exquisite, elusive, faseihating and utterly beautifal are the materials with which he works Whistler of Dress. Jeanne Halle is very daring and at the same time very discreet; and if I were not afraid of Whistler's ghost, I should call her the Whistler of the art of dress, Drecoll is all things to all women, and this season shows a meet attractive set of models ranging from simple tailor - manes to elaborete dinner and dance frocks-. "All Round." Zimmermann is also "all round," but I am inelieed to send those of my friends who have "laughed and grown fat" to the very lever woman wee insinree tee gowns there; whereas to Weeks go the slim, lithe Ameriean women, who look as if they were made of beautifully sup- ple Wires cleverly arranged to look like a human form. ..Red and Purple. A good model which I saw this week at the last-named house is worth men- tioning, as it expresses the best. It was of a dinner gown in fuchsiht tones, red Liberty and purple chiffon beautifully beaded on the long tunic of ebiffon, and encircled round the waist with a Liberty sash, winch fell in long ends at the left side, to be caught in at the feet by a bunch of red and gold roses. Black and White. Another was in black velvet and \Oita striped thiffon over a beautiful robe of Irish and. Venetian lace. The stripes of velvet were About an inch wide, and were set far enough apart to show plenty of white. The lines of this gown were ()elite perfect, and the rich effect of the lace was very striking. FASHION NOTES FROM PARIS SHOPS. Raccoon was never so fashionable am- ong furs. Short haired furs will be freely used for trimming hats.. Brocades and fine velvets are the lead- ers among silks. Satin, in black and navy blue, is worn more than ever. The peasant style remains the zest fashionable for separate blouses. Many of the blouses for wear with the early fall suits are of striped linen. Many misses will wear military tur- bans of the hussar typo. They are brim- less, of januty style and have looped braid and cord. ornaments. Most fashionable new shoes are high cut, and heels are higher than ever. Bracelets, in plain and chased geld, will be much worn, but few will be jew- eled. •••• POCKETS. Many clever ideas are also manifested n the arrangement of pockets, easily to e found and of real practical service. ockets in the sleeves are very useful or the small handkerchief or a tiny urse, and the slit side, with its hidden oeket is another contrivance that is 1 service.

Peter's question, "flow oft shall my brother sin against me, and. 1 forgive him?" brings before us the contrast between teana forbearance and God's infinite forgive. iness. How "oft we miss the law of dn dness, when we struggle to be just." In the parable which deans gave to in lustrate the measure Of our forgiveness the gift tar exceeded the petition of the servant, so must the life of the forgiven go beyond lewd requirements and dis- pense the fruits of divine grace upon others.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS, The great confession. "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God" (Matt 10. 10). In these days of caviling and quibbling %bout the nature of Christ' it is refreshing to read the -clear and powerful utterance of Peter upon that subject. The prog- ress of Bible salvation in the world and in the individual heart is always ao. companied by.a positive faith in the di- vinity ymarc moaafkne,C3 I ialciollivtre.i fivIte,r iitse:sxecieol'iluvenenadtlactiiiroeent,img religion be called. This declaration of Peter's teas a hearty expression of his faith, as was Thomas', "My Lord and my God" (John 20. 28), when he was convinced that he was in the presence of his Aeon Lord. He who in the fullest sense eon. fesses. that Jesus is the Christ is not far front the kingdom, if he is not already in it. The iinportance of riaht doctrine respecting the divinity of Christ can scarcely be too strongly emphasized. The great lack, "One thing thou lacks, est" (Mane 10, 211, There is some ono sinful or worldly object or practiee that has a stronger hold upon the individual than any other. With one it may be the love of wealth, with smother some form of sensuality and with enother pride of person, apparel, acquirements or peel - tion. The "one thine" to which the heart persistently clings ebffectually blocks the entrance to eternal life. As Jesus show- ed the rich young ruler the plague of his heart, so the Holy Spirit shows to us the conditions we must meet in or- der to be saved. The greatness of service. "Not to be ministered unto, but to minister" (Matt., 20:e8). Jesus declared the commonly accepted idea of greatness tOtbe wrong. Ile declared it not only in words, but also in deeds, for his life was one of service for others, dames and John with their mother, were shown by the Master how insignificantly small were their little selves whom they had con- sidered so very important. What we do for ourselves counts but little, but what we do for others Is made a blessing both to us and them. There is true blessed- ness in learning the lesson of servlee for others and practising itt. Great blessings despised. "They made light of it" (Matt. 22:5). We look upon ingratitude as something base. Great preparations have been made for man's spiritual needs at infinite cost, yet the provisions are by most people lightly es- teemed. A thousand things appeal to the mural hearts as being more import- ant than the Beene interests. Property, business and social affairs claim the at- tention to the exclusion of spiritual good. Satan has blinded men's eyes to the highest good. The gospel feast is spread. It is inviting. Will you despise it? A great test. "The ,things winch are Caesar's...the things that are God's (Matt. 22:21). We are face to face with obligations of -various sorts. We live iu society and under government, and to both we owe duties. We owe to society those tights and benefits which we expect from society. We owe to the government which protetts us re- spect, support and. defenee. We owe to God all the love and service of which tve are capable. We owe to him submission, obedience, faith, worship. We are bless- ed in recognizing and fulfilling these ob- ligations. Great reward. "Well doue enter thou" (Matt. 25:21, 23). 1. Approval. nTothing can take the 'place of the divine approval, not even life itself "In his favor is life" (Psa. 30:5; 63:3). 2. Joy. "The joy of thy Lord" (Matt. 25:21). Here is participation in the joy that he gives, as well as the joy that flows from bis presence. dr • • DETROIT TUNNEL.

Toronto, Oct. 17. ---In the expraesive terminology of a western delegate, the General BUM of Ilifill8/0118 off/ the Methodist Church on naturday `struck a snag," which caused a flutter among the members and suggested that the rough paths of recent theological 0011- troversy had not yet been made smooth. Everything was gatng along smooth- ly Wben Mr, W. Larrthly rose to. resent the report .of the Foreign De - pertinent Committee concerning var- tons mattera winch hied been con- Sidered on Friday afternoon. "The committee recommend the fol- lowing 48 MeniberS of tale West China Education Commission," no en- nounced, and then came the names-. Mr. N. W. Royell„ KC., Mr. C. D. Massey, Mr. J. W. Flavelle„ Rev. Dr, J. A. Rankin and rofeesor R. P. Bowles, 'Tarried," eXclairned several members in unison. "Board of GOvernOr$ of the West China Union University," proceeded Mr. Lambly; "the cOrnmittee recom- mend the appointment of Rev, T, E. Egerton, Shore, Mr. N. W. Rowell, K. 0,, and Prof. R, P. Bowles" "Carried," again came from ctome of the Inembers, nut tide time not with the earne result. "Would you kindly read these names • over again'?" requested the Chairman, Rev, Dr. Carman, Mr. Lambly did so, and then the Chair- man quietly remarked ;"On the West China Educational Commission, Prof. Bowles, and on the Board of Gov- ernors of the West China Universitn, Prof. Bowles. Why have one man on both bodies? Why not Prof, Wallace?" Rev. Mr. Shore, the Secretary: of the Foreign Department, explained. that Professor Wallace would, be away for it year, and that Professor Bowlee had taken a very deep interest in the establishment of the Union University at Chengtu, and in mission affairs generally in. West China. OPPOSED TO MODERNIS1VI. But Dr. Carman was not satisfied. "Let us be frank," he said. be- lieve in our theology, and I do not be. lieve in forweeding anything that may threaten our safe and solid theology. f would be perfectly willing to bane such a representation on this board as would give the largest liberty. I would ohallenge any man to raise any objeetion to my thought of the liberty of men, but I would not like to see the board forward that modernism. Candidly, I do not." "It will be twenty yeas before any question of theoltgy will come up for adjustment in that university," in, terposed Rev. Mr. Shore. "It is a university established in the main for academie or educational work." "quite so," dryly retorted Dr. Car- man. "The Mississippi rises in a lit- tle pond of eyelet, We are at the fountain head now au this matter, and the responsibility is with the board. I am perfectly willing to have either of those brethren (Professors Wallace and Bowles), but I think the matter is being forwarded in the direction I have mentioned." Rev. Mr. Shore suggested that as Mr. Rowell, who had advised Profes- sor Bowles' appointment, was absent, consideration of the committee's re- commendation be postponed until Monday. "This should be discussed. in the quietness of committee.," observed Rev. Dr, Briggs. On, the recommendation of the For- eign Committee the board approved of steps being taken to establish med- ical training in connection with the West China Union University, and. agreed to extend an invitation to the' Foreign Mission Boards Conference to meet in Toronto in January, 1910. It was also decided to support the invitation to the Continuation Com-, mittee of the World's lVfissionary Con - Defence to hold the next World Mis- sionary Conference in Canada. The board authorized the Executive to appoint now missionaries to Japan not exceeding five in number,. provid- ing that the income and provision for mission plant warrant euch apnoint- ments, and to gran t euperannuation to certain mato pastors.
