Tire high waist line atilt prevails in this style of gown, and as it is one of the latest models, it la safe ie predict its continuing to be fashionable for the eonnug season, One thing to be remem- bered is that it is not inepoasible to do over a gown with the high waist line by changing the girdle or belt.

WAVES AND PARTS' AGAIN IN FAVOR WHILE FALSE PIECE$ ARE .GISCARDED IN THE NEW _ARTISTIC HAIR DRESSING WHICH REVEALS THE OUT- LINES OF THE HEAO, If professional hair dressers have had anything to do with the introduction of' the 'newest feehione in coiffures, then they must 'have ehangea their business teems, for the mode ef tete moment in diessieg the hair is to entninite any- thing and everything that suggests in the itighteet the artificial .and leave the lines of the' teed :unspoiled by the eddi- tion of puffs and braide.

The part seems to be the novelty of the moment, We have worn our leeks brushed baek close to the head for al - meet yeaa now, but only- within a few weeks has the orbiler of feehione deeided that even this simple style must be sun plified, and braids are promptly baniehed from the fruntioriable woman's dressing table or her speeial drawer where . she. stows away those quantities of false puffs, rings, coronets, ette, that have been kept on hand ready for humediate adjustment when ma.dante desires to wear a particularly fancy dreeseing,.

Capes are said to be one of the com- ing mocks, especially highwaymen af- fairs, with an end thrown over the left ehoulder. There is a wide scope in this notion for the presentation of Odor, esque fashions from the old timer' and other countries, The Highland plaid, with its jewelled ornament, and the Spanish cloak flung over one shoulder, suggest ideas, and theer are numbers of others to be brought to mind, Much discretion must guide the de- signer to success in the making of sleeves that do not match, skirts that present quite a different color ano ma- terial when viewed from the right aud from the lett side, and easages equany fantastic. This is the season of fancy dress dances, but in ordinary, everyday life no one wishes to look as if she were mas- querading perpetually. Absolute trust may be placed in the good offices of the powers that gaide the fashions, however, and the forecase of motley that has been vouchsafed leaves the dreas chronicler tranquil in the as- surance that harmony will prevail. Half and Half.. Even in the case of a reception dress seen the other 'day, that was half white cloth and half black velvet, the strauge alliance was accomplished without any diseord, though the fact that it repro - seated quite a new phase of fashion was quietly but impressively insisted upon. A like employment of the bizarre was noticed in the ease of a rest gown, one sle.eve of which clung to the arms and was light and lacy, while the other was a dark covering made of a heavier fabric, with a long and. cloud -like drapery -the old-world angel" sleeve -floating from it. TWO SPLENDID GOWNS. • Both Were Worn at an Opera Mati- nee With Success. Just to prove that black velvet isn't having it all ite own way, one feels in- clined to describe the stunning gowns worn by two devotees of the Metropoli- tan opera at a matinee. These superb affairs might have been made to wear together. Both were in the lightest of chiffon velvet, one a splendid royal blue, the other a gorgeous shade of pomegrante red -cerise in some lighte. Mee. Florence Fox wore the blue one and it was acconipanied by a long and, bewildering elaborate wrap of the same fabric. Worn with the red one was a long wrap of black chiffon bordered with a Persian printed band. It was a trifle thin as the wearer stood on the wind- swept corner awaiting the motor, but not all wraps are warm these days, it being quite the Paris chic to leaye the heavy wrap of fur or reline in one's machine or brougll_am. MERVEILLEUSE TRAIN IS, CHIC. The Merveilleuse train is, perhaps, the most, eccentric' and apparent item of the many one-sided designs now seen. It hails from the days of the Directory in France, when fetninine exaggerations of dress worn by "les merveilleusea" matched the maeculinc ones worn by "les incroyables." One 'freak was the separation of the skirt at the side, and another the trail- ing train drawn toward the front and looped through the sash. Such dresees Nvere made for the prom- enade, and there was quite an art in flinging the wayward train over the arm or dragging it through the sash, and 'thus disposing of its impeding folds. A Pretty Paris Fashion, Warne's are restorino the coquetry of train -lifting, and thee' detachable and wisp -like train, so closely allied to the pendent ends of a sash, is picked up with infinite grace and supported in the crook of the arm, just.as if it were a scarf. In Paris, when the fashionable leave the theatre, instead of letting „their trains sweep the ground, up they are plucked and borne aloft free from the contamination of the floor. It is a pretty and et dainty fancy. 'The fashion of wearing the train at one eide of the gown is another curious fancy. In some cases the dress is made a complete affair apart from the train, which is the completion of a ewathed drapery of the tune persuasion. The long and narrow folds that fall upon the floor at the left side or the right, according to wilt, are really very elegant, aria a greet eitatge from the sterotypen train slung at the back of the toilette, Iteving accompliehed a deviation front the eonVentiOns so striking at this, the deem designers have expanded the Mea, OM.* FEBRUARY'S STONE, Do you wear violet?

These schools were places where young men were trained, under the dieection of a recognized prophet, for religious •service.

She smootned the newly laid turS with her tiny fingers. and murmured, "I wish l'en brought granclpees slippers oftenerP Here is profound philosophy for older minds. Too often the strong, cultured souk is seen eveeping at the grave of buried op- portunity. There has not been lacking the garb of a servant, the profession of loyalty; but the fears of failure, the whispers of pride, the preoccupations of plinteure, the tbsorbing interest of con- genial pursuits obtrude and the slippers aro not carried to Weary feet. "Elijah said ,... Ask what 1 shall do for thee" (v. 9.) "Ask" is a word inti- mately eonne cted with blessing, present and future. We' are told to ask of God (James 1: 5); ask in prayer, believing (Matt. 21: 22); ask of things to come 45: 11; Jelin 16: 13,) Six times in his last words to hie disciples Jesus tells them to "ask" (John 11: 13, 14; 15: 7, 16; 10: 23, 24.) And soncerning the Spirit, he said, "If yo then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children; how much more shall Your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11: 13,) A little girl lay dying. "Papa, clear papa," she said, as she looked up into the dis- tressed face of her father. The tone told how she tried to comfort him. After a little she said, gently, "Papa." "What, my dear?" The answer came faint and broken, "How much do I cost you every year?" "Hush, dear, be quiet,' he re- plied, in great agitation, thinking she was delirious, "But, please. papa, how much de cost you?" To soothe her he replied, "Well, dearest, perhaps two or three hundred dollars. What then, dar- ling?" "Because, papa, I thought maybe you woold lay it out this year in Bibles for poor children to remember me by." With a bursting heart, her father re- plied, "I will do it every year, so long as I live; and thus my Lillian shall yet speak and draw hundreds and thousands after her to heaven."
