',.'here ate eertain1;• may different styles of dress included in the winter trossseeau, but -each and .ever; one is for a different occasion. The eine mpler street gown, for the morning walk or shopping. ib a srntielly practical; for afternoon the -more elaborate, though no less costly, velveteen corduroy or vet - vet costume is correct,. and this can be simple or elaborate; but this is .a cos - time with enat to snatch, made short, and if there be a waist like the skirt it is made to loos like a. sepaeate wake., not as though it were all in one piece. For luncheon and bridge and the after- noon eeceptioa there is again quite n different model- a gown complete in itself, too light in color and texture to be worn in the street excepting under an all 'erveioping coat or cloak; hut then these sante long eloal:s are extremely smart this reason. There is much that is practical in this fashion. The present craze for overheating houses makes a gown that is at alt heavy or warns most uncomfotb •ta �te to wear indoors, and the light transparent fabrics are faseinating in their contrkst to the heavy fur or velvet wraps and outer - garments. Tide is a winter when velvet is most popular. Satin, the new fabric with the heavy wool back, is also in great demand, but both these materiels •are better suited to the coat costume than to the gown. Combining either with the thin, sheer fabrics is most suecess- ful. One attractive model )las the tipper part of the skirt and the lower part of file waist of fine marquisette or chiffon. The lower part of the .skirt is ftniehed with a deep shirred flounce of velvet, that again is finished . with a narrow fringe. The entire gown is lined with cloth of silver, which shows. through the mesh. It is not the plain but the figur- ed cloth of silver, which -le far newer, Attractive Belts. Much attention this season is paid to the belt of the waist—just where it shall be placed, whether it shall be nar- row or wide and whether there shall be a bow with sash ends or merely the bow at the back. The Empire .style is not new, and every effort apparently is be- ing made to put the wisest line in its normal position; but there are many -ex- tremely smart gowns with the decidedly high waisted effect, and,the belt on the majority of the gowns ,is .so fashioned or trimmed that it is - quite high. A narrow band of black velvet or satin is o favorite trimming alefrve the belt, while just in front a kept of the same black is thrust through'the fancy buckle that is such a marked feature in the newest fashions. , Bows and sashes and fiery •smart, and fat must be conceded tiutt the long ends break the two severe lilies that the pre- sent fashion gives at the back. It is re- markable tow much :more becoming a gown is made with the addition of a bot- and ends. Of course, care must be . taken that the bow is becomingly plated. At • ' resent it is fashi , n : ble to have it OP' AtAvoose Torts A FASHION ABLE HAT. ion is noticeably distinctive and original then it is most foolish to attempt to change the style. Better have he gown cleaned. and freshened and tben wear it as it 19. A winter gown is often much more practical to remodel than a summer one, for all summer clothes have a certain in- dividuality, and the fashions do not vary so nmehs as in the darker colors and fcibtirs that are relegated to the winter seem:. This year the .combining of ma- terials make life much simpler for any woman who has to struggle with the elothes question with only the aid of a seamserett, Velvet combined with sat- in will often transform an old gown that has seemed too shabby to be worn an- other winter; the new trimmings also -- ands .so much ttimming is used now— have a good effect and the introduction of a bit of contrast makes the gown look quite unlike its former self. .An embroidered chiffon or snessaline de sole overblouse will not only make an old waist look like new, but if trimmed with a different color will make the greatest difference in a gown that bas been thought to have seen its best days. The satin or velvet belt or "girdle, Josh- ed with fancy buckle, is also a marvel- lous restorer to a gown.that in the Em- pire or princess style had begun to look old fashioned. It not necessary to recut costumes to give this year's fash- ut a careful study 11 unnecessary 't1s and the Al can time and patience can be saved in doing away with the collar entirely, tho fitting of whicli Le often rather tricky. To one who knows the rudiments of dressmaking or has some reliable pat- terns the =making of a sleeve is very simple. There will probably bo enough material left from the skirt of the chemise to form the up -to -Elate small sleeves, and if not it is an easy and in- expensive matter to match it. A lace cuff and a row or two of lace inserted' in the lower or upper part of the sleeve make an attractive finish, Cut the waist (for it hoe now ceased to he a chemise) up the hack, turn in slightly, and if there is not sufficient material make a fake hem on both sides; a half a dozen buttonholes and a like number of small pearl or crochet wash buttons. and the transformation i, complete, A French blouse. if you please. madame, for a mere nothing!

Built Sheehent, Jeroboam selected Shechem as the capital of his kindont, .ale erected buildiuga necessary for that purpose and fortified the city. The location was favorable, being central, and the place had many historic events cluster- ing lustering about it, Abraham pitched his tent there upon entering Canaan for the Met. time.

It ',las one of the six cit- ies of refuge. There Joshua gathered the people shortly before his death and delivered to them his parting. words. At Shechem all Israel assembled to re• ceivo Behcheam as king, but upon hire failure to yield to reasonable demands ten tribes went over to Jeroboam. A few years later the king removed his capital to Thant, a place a little north of 9echenr, 'fount l.phrahu, In the hill - country, or upon the mountainous ridge which extends for fifty miles north and soetli through the central part of Pales- tine. Jeroboam belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, Went out from thence. With Shechem as a fortified centre bo built other fortifications at important points to keep out his enemies. Built Penuel. This is the Penuel of Genesis 32:24-32 and means "face of God” It was hero that Jacob wrestled all night with the angel of God, and gained the victory, his name being changed from Jacob to Israel. Penuel was situated on the river Jabbok, about twenty miles east of where it flows into the ,Jordan, It was fortified to proteet the kingdom from Assyrian invasion, since Peuuel was on the great caravan road to the East. 26. Jeroboam said in his heart. He said one thing in his heart and quitet another to his people, It is no uncom- mon thing for ono to say in his heart what he would not for the world say to others. Wo are judged by men large- ly by what we say with our lips, but God judges us by what we say in our hearts. Kingdom return. The king realized that the people who had so eag- erly pledged allegiance to him were liable to forsake him and return to the kinglom from whicli they had revolted; should some provocation arise. He knew the temper of his people, and as a sag- acious ruler ho foresaw what might oc- eur. 27. If this people...sacrifice...at; Jesusalem. Jeroboam recognized the fact that the tribes that had seeeded wind come over to sins had not in so do- ing forsake the God and the religion of their fathom, They would continue to Worship the (rod of Israel, and Jerusa- lem was the true centre of that woreldp. IIe was wise enough not to attempt to, establish at once a new religion, al• tough he knew that the repeated visits of his people to Jerusalem for worship es the law required (Dent. 16:16) would bo likely to win them back -to the par- ent kingdom. The religion instinct in man is deeteseated and is easily able to overcome even national and patrio- ,tic considerations. Their lord...Ileho- boam.

Questions. What cities did Jeroboam build, and why? W1eat did the king say in his heart? 'What is meant by the house of David? At what places did Jeroboam establish plaecs of worship? What reason did he give for setting up the golden valves in those.plaees,? What was the real reason for appointing those two places of worship? Whom did he make priests? What feast did he ap- point and how did it differ from the feast in Judah? What commandments did Jeroboam violate? What warning was sent to him? PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS, "Jeroboam was in his heart" (v. 26.) IIe thought and planned before he exe- cuted. Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts (Matt. 13: le.) Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh (Matt. 12: 34,). The devil put it into the heart of Judas to betray Je- sus (John 13; 2,) God has condemned every human heart as being "deceitful above all things and desperately wink ed" (Jer. 17: 9). "If th:r people go up... then shall the heart of this people turn again" (v. 27), The promise bad been given to Jere - beam: "I will take thee and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul de- siretli. and shalt be king over Israel, apo it shall be, if thou wilt walk in my ways I will bo_with thee and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel unto thee" 'f f. Kings x. 37, 38). Jeroleoam doubted and devised mane for his: own safety. Faith would have said, "god has promised, I ate safer to Inoul the apparent danger of losing my throne, by going In the plain path of duty than to seek to keep it by the use of unlawful means," Doubt of God's all -sufficiency is the beginning of all our sinful planning. We want a cer- tain position. We can obtain it bya little tricky manoeuvring. We desire success in a business transaotion and prevarication seems the sure road to it. Doubt that God. can give us these with- out our interference Is the first tempta- tion. Just here Jacob fell. He was promised- the birthright, Instead of waiting for God to bestow the gifb, Ito vi;taiued it by deoelt and fraud, "Tire lying took counsel" (v. 28).
