HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1911-09-14, Page 2Thie is certainly a season when real summer gowns can ee Worn with com- fort and delight and when all thin ma- terials aro in great demand. ln conse- quence the embroidered Mingo are most popular and it is extraordinary the endless variety thet is to be seen when, after all, the geeeral style is the same. An all white gown in hot weather al- ways looks delightfully cool and troll; but the different sliasiee of the different colors that are Sashionable this year pos- sess in some strarnge ,Tnatiner the same delightful quelitiee, and there is no end ef most charming colored frocks that look tool and dainty on the very hot- teet day. efarquisette and other fine nets are most popular and are to be had in dif- ferent weaves and weights, and are mare juet as is any wash material. It is , said that marquisette does. not 'require to be cleaned and pressed as often as does fine muslin or linen, which certain- ly requirm constant laundering and press- ing. There are most exquisite embroid- ered nets, although there are maey effee• tive gowns that are embroidered in lin- en thread. Entre -deux of lace, filet or Cluny is combined wleh the embroidery and the gown is always charming and effectiVe. There is the disadvantage that, the ,fabric being so sheer a satiu or -silk slip must be worn, end 'then the gown in some strange, indescrilrable manner does not seem as emart as the embroidered muslin. But, be it under- stood, the embroidered net or chiffon gawn can be made to be more elobarate in effect than the muslin, unless the lat- ter is of the most elaborate design and far more costly. It is said that ma- chine ernbroidery can be used with more advantage on net than on /Tomlin, and it certainly takes a most trained experi- ence to detect the machine from the hand work on net. Handsome Embroidered Gowns. There is.not any great vallety in the styles of the embroidered gowns; whe- ther the material be Muslin or Mime, the ekirts. are all made with straight lines, not too scant. If intended for afternoen, they sometimes are made with a sliort trite, although the round short skirt. is still popular; the witist is loose, but el - ways carefully fitted, with much atten- tion paid to the shoulder line and the sleeves. The short, elbow length, medi- um size sleeve is the smartest', and no lace or embroidery is thought too hand- some for the sleeve. Gowns with entre- .denx and floances of lace are most at. traetive, and Valenciennes filet and. baby Irish lace are all fashionable. The finest of muilin with exquisite Valeuci- ennes and fine hand tucks make the daintiest gowns imaginable, and the oet is too great for them to be ever too popular, while the imitations are not in the least effective, so that an entirely different model is ste a rule chosen in prefelence. Running colored ribbbons, iindeF the entre-deux of baby "Irish or Valenciennes lace, and then finishine the skirt with a succession of narrow rtiffles edged with narrow baby Irish, is quite a novel style that is charming. The bands of entre-deuX are put around the skirt instead of in the straight up and down lines, but the slcirt itself is cut on tell straight lino of the present styles. Fringe Popular Trimming. Embreidered lace always seems a freak of fashion, but this season it is extremely fashionable toNembroider filet and the heavier laees in color. The ef- feet is decidedly striking and tinusual,, but colored embroidery on the material of the gown or bands of colored em- broidery are more often seen. The em- broidered lace is, however, daintier and iighter and given a more distinctive ef- fect. An odd rendering of the feshion is the white embroidery of the lace, the evoking ever of the deftign in heavy silk, as though tO thrown out in bolder relief the pattern of the lace. • Fringe, that is to be one of the win- ter's favorite trimmings, is used in the newest models. A Most charming model for An embroidered Swiss muslin is made with a double skirt, the upper skirb finlehed with ball or tassel of fringe. The only other trimming is the yoke of Irish leo, a band of lace down the front of the waist and a band of the lace finishing the short sleeves be- low the elbow. A unroll more elaborate model, white • marquisette over pale pink satin, has the overskirt finiehea with narrow ery- stal fringe. The low waist -for it is an evening gown -has some crystal em- broidery on the front of it, and the abort, SIPPVCS are finished with the same fringe that trime the overskirt. It is quite eertein that the double skirt or overekirt will be fashionable this an- temn and winter, and the fringe as it fin- ieh is always effective.

The Loose Corset. , With the present fashion of loose fit- ting bleuse waist and low looee corset there is something of a problem to be faced by any woman eche is not pain- fully slender, There tweet not be any effect of being well corsetted; at the same time there must be straight linee ane no sloppiness. "The successful cor- set deeigner Of to -day is an artist, with Ruins, of the qualities of a magician,' for by some Inarvellous process the design resulted is accomplished. The modern eoreet does support the bust and does suppress the hips, but is .pliable and allows of freedom of aotiou. The waist line naturally measures more inches, but it is not sharply defined, and for the present the waist line le placed higher than any normal waist line, so that the eize of the waist is of smell conse- quence. A good brassiere and A corset tight aroud the hips and extremely low in the bust ie one of the methods employed te seeere the fashionable lines that are so striven for. The fact is, however, ,that to Attain the faehionable figure it is necessary to realize that considerable ex - peruse must be faced unless the wonder- ful gift of a perfect figure has been vouchsafed. In these days there is -no end of marvellously well out corsete to be bought ready made and at com- paratively small cost, but even with a good figure no woman who wants to be well gowned should buy her coreets care- lessly. It is a much better plan to eon- omin on the number of gowns in an outfit and have the corsets made to order in many cases, for the apparent- ly lose fitting etyle of dress' so fash- ionable at the moment is really most ap- pallingly ugly if not built upon a good foundation. it is said ihat this season the best dreesed women have the feveer gowns, but are the best provided with perfect fitting corsets and lingerie and all the dainty details of yokes, undersleeves, fiches, sashes and veils. it is not a queetion of the saving of money, only best results obtained by the same ex- penditure. A. T. Ashmore. -- A WISP OF LACE. It may deck one's chapeau, It may adorn an evening slipper. It simply revels from top to toe. It is formed into jabots and other neckwear.. Sheer sorts are plaited for hats and sleeve finishes. Tunics and all sorts of overewear are made of the various sorts. A clever idea in tailor-mades is to have the cloth of two shades, the lighter hue to be fairly covered with braid. JABOT IS WORN ON THE HEART SIDE. Paris -The fancy which lets sprung up this year for the jabot has .become al- most universal. Whether in liugeries of immaculate whiteness, or in yellowed linon there is not in all Paris a woman -madinette or grand lady -who has not this indispensable adjunct on the left side of her eorsage, spreading proudly abroad. The long pin which fastens it may consist of a rare jewel from the lthe de Paix. Or maybe a ruby or pearl earette costing $1,000 le your money. Or it may be the modest:imitation jewel bought in some hamar of the Quatter for 1 franc 95 centimes. 'The linen may be more or less fine, the real %lace or machine -made, but the jabot will never fail in its little effect so long as it is scrupulously etean. When I say its "little" effect, 1. cer- tainly cannot be sesid to exaggerate, for jabots are becoming more and more vol- uminous and extensive. They triumph immoderately, spreading all over one side of the wearer -the side of the heart, if you please; some' are like pigeon's tail. ethere iesemble the wing of a dove -or a half -opened fan, all fla- ke. and. flaunt under our chins, showing from which quarter the wind iblows.

For these are eensible little demi- saison hats and should not have an ap- pearance of elabora.tion. PRETTY WATCHES FOR FEMIN- IN ITV. There's always much talk about wom- an% carelessnesee with a watch, and many careful women simply will not wear them any way fashion chooses to dictate. Of course, they alerted be neatly stowed in a chamois -lined pock- et. Some of them are so ornate, how- ever, that there's a great temptation to Wear them where they will show. Very rich are those in hammered gold. ' One designed to be worn on the bodice is of an exquisite thin black enamel, with tiny roees scattered Over the sur- faee. They are beginning to put watches inside pendants, too. The buttonhole watch was ineented for men, and abroad men are said to fix them in buton•holes of the coats or sometiines fn cuff links. A faseineting watch just brought from Pares is set in a ring and is hard- ly larger than a thumb nail. It is at- taehed to an expanding gold. ring. Enamel pendant watches really have a great deal to recommend them, for the setting is so ornate, often intermix- ed with pearls and very prettily orna- mented at the 'back. PARIS COIFFURES. The Diadem and the Kakochnik • Front the Chignon. As evening coiffure., the diadem once more reigns supreme -the diadem of seven or eight inches high which was worn under the Empire. The one which we wear at present has neither the pomp nor the striking regulafity of those of former days, We prefer to adorn our jewels rather than be adorned by them. Our new dia- dems are, ',therefore, low and straight, and the rivers of brilliants or stones are fixed on an invisible mount, which is supple and articulated. They are worn like a ribbon, very much to the front, with the chignon slanting to the back. In the 'boxes of our: theatres, gold or silver wheat ears compete with the snowy Paradise plume or proud aig- rette. But the bonnets more or less a la Greuze lave disappeared, as have also the • ribbon bandages of all kinds which have •eiglified" us during the last two winters. The Ruseian ballets have brough us, a few coiffures a la "kakoehnik," but, their reign was ephemeral. Freed from the restraint of the bonnet, the chig- - non is becoming voluminous. And, both for tike theatre and the town, a large chignon is necessary with the niniche hats, which leave a good part of the neck uncovered. SERGE StlITS. We must have them. They are always shipshape. A little braid trims most of them. Buttons are among favored trimmings But it isn't the trimming that makes the serge suit. Triming may add, but it's cut, qual- ity and finish that count most Indeed, over -trimming will shnply ruin even the most desirable serge. • 4 • LATE STYLES -FOR THE HAIR In dressing the hair it is now parted in the middle or at the side, given a good wave and then drawn down low over the ears, complete). yeoverin galena, end the ends arranged in a close knot at the back. Over thin the calotte is pinned, and Chen are arranged the skvirle or tresses which lie loosely about the knot. When the dressing is complete it, seems as if the hair were just light- ly cnd naturally in a soft succession of swirls. The smartest women in Paris are now ' affecting this style. Girls from 15 to 20 years of age wear the hair cut off in front -that is, bobbed like that of a child. The bobbed hair falls well over the ears-, is waved and the ends turned under. The back hair. is then knotted at the back and the new swirling calotte is adjusted. With the hair dressed low in thie fashion, a number of styles in false fronts ere employed. Some of these are so arranged that the natural hair passes over there, while others are pin- ned on in front, 'completely covering the top of the head.

Daniel's CoMpanions in the Fiery Furnace, -Dan, 3: 1-30, Comtneataraa-I. A Royal Decree Dis- regarded. (vs. 1-2). It is, probable that the time of Nebuchadnezzar's erection of the great linage nere mentioned was up- on his return from the couquest of Western Asia and Egypt, end. his pur- pose was to celebrate les great victories. It is likely that the king thought that a public: ect of this kind would unify the various peoples of his world -empire since all would. de reverence to the sem] God. The imago erected WAS ninety feet high and nine feet in width, but this May be supposed to include a pedestal from thirty to forty feet in height ,The Worms of Rhodes was fifteen feet high- er than this image, and the Statue ef Liberty in New York harbor is three hundred end six feet high, includieg the pedestal. Nebuchadnezzar's image. was in all probability a representation of the chief god of Babylon, Bel-Merdo dad; but it may have been an,image of the king himself. The image was of gold, that is, covered with gold, for it is scarcely to be supposed that it was of solid gold, since it has been estimated that an image of that aize would con- tain two billion dollars' worth of the precious metal, Some heve fixed the site of the image at a point six or seven miles below Babylon where there is a solid structure, which may have been the pedestal of the image. Strict orders ewere sent to all the officers of the ,kingdam to be present at the dedi- cation of the image, mid all the people of whatever language,. were commanded. to fall down to worship it.

Shadrach, Itieshach and Abed-nego-The Hebrews who hadeereeeived special training for the king's service, and who had refrein- ed from defiling themselves with the king's meat and wine (Dan. 1:8). The absence of Daniel from this narrative is variously explained. He may have been on government besiness in some ee- mote_part of the kingdom. Perhaps be was in such a high position that he was not included in the king's decree. It may be that although he was present and failed to bow the knee, no one re- ported him, his three companions being the chief objects of the people's envy. 1.4. is it true -Can it be possible that any in my kingdom, and especitelly army officers, do not heed my decree when such fearful punishment as burning le the penalty for non-compliance? 15. if ye be ready -The kind desired to spare them and offered them another oppor- tunity. correct -A horn. flute -A wind 'instrument made of reeds. sackbet-A four -stringed instrument having a sharp, clear tone. -Kell, psaltery -An instru- ment like our lyre. .duleimer-A sort of bagpipe. burning fiery furnace -A form of punishment pecidiar to the Babylon- ian.% who is that God -"Who is that God?" -R.

In his haughtiness and bigotry he adeed rudeness and insolence to idolatry and challenged the might `of the God of Israel. With the Hebrews their duty to GO was stronger than their greti- WO to the king. Their first considera- tion was not their prospects, but their duty, They made religion a personal thing, They put eternal things before temporal. They were not mere Israel- ites In name. Their piety was more tban an inheritance, They believed in God, in the truths which he had revealed to them, end in the moral respousibili- ties Ho had placed upon them. 1.1,hey were worshippers of Ceocl en a heathen land.

Martyrdom or surrender to com- promise, The three Hebrews 'resisted sin, but did not rebel against the king's penalty, Ae men of principle, they did. not. depend upon being Understood, but upon their knowledge of duty. Their great moral courage was born of great convictions. They preferred suffering to sin. They preferred martyrdom rather than the disapproval of God, Firm and decided for Jehovah, the three Hebrews approached the eventful spot. If the example of those noble young men at that crisis. had been wanting, how evil would have been the consequences! .-Ae God's providence called for martyrs, He gave them grace. They believed that God. would make all things work to- gether for their good. Before an as- sembled multitude they were called to combat the confederated powers of dark- ness and to vindicate the insulted ma- jesty of Jehovah. There was seen the contrast between spiritual and human greatness. PRAC'TICAL APPLIOATIONS. Trust. ''"We are not careful to an- swer thee in this matter" (v. 10.) These Hebrews did not offer to compromise. Parleying with sin would be fatal. They did not argue. They could not be moved frorn their purpose. They did not corn - plain nor remonstrate nor seek as rever- sal of the decision. They saw the king was determined. They did not seek to justify themselves. Their standpoint' would not be eleare,v seen liy the kings An enraged eeathen`monareh could not understand how absolute to them was God's command, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image a thou sbalt not bow down" (Exod. 20: 4, 5). They were not careful to answer. tiod would do that for them when the emer- gency came, "But if not .. we will not" (v. 18.) Therwould be true to God re- gardless of consequences. The proconsul said to Cyprian, "The emperor com- mends thee to sacrifice." ".1 am a Christian," was the resolute reply, "and I can not sacrifice to your gods! do therefore what you are commanded." Cyprian has had many illustrious fol- lowers in his determination to be true to hiceGod in the face of death.
