Mrs. McCormick Has Heavy taco.
She is particularly fond of a princess

about each arm and. a broad band fin-
ishes a kind of Untie of :the embroidery.
Tw'o more of the bands are used as sash
ends, with a finish of Irish. lace balls.
There are Irish lace revers and a yoke
of Irish trinuned with large crochet
buttons. With this gown Mrs. McCor-
mick has worn on one or two occasions
a large hat of Milan of a shade varying
between deep rose and plum, and this is
trimmed. with a cluster of uncurled pur-
ple feathers.
Still another of Mrs. • McCormick's
sunsmer gowns ts fashioned of heavy lace
the bodice made in surplice effect and
edged with orange chiffon. This suiplice
is brought under the arms and fastened
in the back with tivo orange chiffon
roses. The skirt is of sheer material,
pin tucked, with so many insertions of
the heavy lace as to appear to be of the
lace with the insertions of the pin tuck-
ed mull. Again the two streanier aash
is used, this time of the lace with lace
balls on the bottom. With this is worn

worn a drooping loghorn hat, faced tvith

Always they are large and usually roll

BATISTE GOWNS IN GREAT
VOGUE,
Paris -The especial rage was for ba-
tiate gowns covered with delicate, em-
broidery, or cotton voiles done in the
finest of English work. These were
mostly mounted 011 to slips of white
chiffon, with, one or two bands of
black ehiffon finishing them about
their lower edges. These bands are in.
terlined with the same material, three
or four thicknesses frequently being
med. This gives them a, 'sufficiently dark
appearance, but also it leaves them oft
and, supple, an important consideration
for. all dresses nowadays. With these
batiste and voile gowns tliere is gener-
ally a sash of chiffon, long or short, as
one prefers, and a little chiffon is ins
troduced on to the bodice, as a finish
at the neck, to border the flatlet drap-
ery and on the sieevea. It la' quite impos-
sible to say how pretty these gowns Ale,
and also how smart. They fit loosely,
but fit they do. There is no doubt in
one's mind that they have been planned
by an artist and out by. a master hand;
for in spite of all thelr simplicity they
have that indescribable look that only
a perfectly made frock ever achieves.
There were other more elaborate
frocks seen at the Grand Prix in which
black and white were delightfully min.
gled. These were of lace, usually .blaek
over white, the former being the light-
est meshed Chantilly and the latter
some sort of real lace, both heavy and
beautiful.
Isichus are to be seen on more than
half the summer frocke, and it does not
seem possible that so many different
models of this pretty little garment
could be thought of. They are made of
all sorts of fabrics, &Won, mull, lace,
English embroidery, gauze and linen,
and. they are trimmed in a multitude of
ways. One of the most attractive ia
made of chiffon, doubled, eaclf edge be-
ing finished with wide, full ruffles of
lace. There is a row of fine shirring
up and down the centre of the back,
bringing the fiehu up an inch or more
above the waist line. In front it is
brought together under a soft knot of
itself and drawn up as far as the bust,
making dozens of eoft folds above the
lace riffles.
'EVEN ING GOWNS BEAUTIFUL.
For eveoing gowns the gold and silver
(for this material also comes in silver)
is made finished with fringe and with
embroidery done in dots a bead; pearl,
crystal, or colors, gime frocks being
almost covered with these, and are ex -
1 tremely beautiful. The fringe, tvhich is
two inches wide, is put on at the bottom
of the skirts, and also trims the short
sleeves, mad the beade are embroidered
irregularly and in coliventional designs.
These gowns are unlined, or they are
mounted on to the lightest of chiffon,
and. they are the most wonderfully
clinging affairs to be imagine&
Of other evening gowns there have
been several seen that were quite units.
nal, combining, ite they have, some new
colorhigs. One model front Paquin was
of steel gray chiffon, with enormous
stars embroidered all over it in 'the
most brilliant shade of green. Outlining
the stars were lite jet bead; and as a
background to it all was a 801'011 de-
sign fit dull gold. A gold cord finished
the waist, with long tassel -like ends
that hung down upon the skirt, and the
entire upper part of the bodice was
made of jet beads, embroidered over
bright green net.
The faet that the majority of gowns
are unlined has made the petticoat a
matter of importance, and the fact that
skirts are elose fitting as ever has Imule
it heeessary that the petticoat fit the
seine. Bands about the waist are out
the question, for even the narrowest
and snuggest of these are more than
likely to show. For this reasion the real
petticoat has been. discarded by most
women, mid in Place of these they are
wearing combinations of. corset cover
and skirt, They are mule of jersey
cloth, which is to be had now in a vast
assortment of 'colors, and. they ate as

people. to. whom he was sent were hard-

from delivering the words of Jehovah,

brought with it much sorrow, for the
tidings 'were owl and severe. The Lord,
regutred Ezekiel to receive into his mind
and heart the revelationa which were
made to him without objecting to- any
part. He was to take ut the meaning
of it, understand it aright, admit it into
Lis heart, Apply it, be affeeted by it and
be full of it, He must meditate on every

Ezekiel preach when he had taken to

kiel into elose fellowiship with Himself.
Perfect accord with the will of God
turned the bitter into sweet. By being,

strengthened to do a very difficult work.

with grief for the sins and ntiseries of
his people, a,nd ready to be the bearer

'Spirit of God the prophet was brought to
the execution of his office. He needed
prudence, knowledge, divine grace to
enable him to present God's truth in the
most profitable manner ana at the same
time escape those imam which came
in the performance of so difficult a
task. In sending his message to Judah
God sought to win them and draw them
back into the path of rectitude or else
by his word make them excusable for
their sin. " He made his prophets "wit-
nesses for or against their hearers. Eze-
kiel was to perform his duty without
fear, because the fear of men disables
and takes away liberty, Ezekiel's min-
istry was pre-eminently a ministry ,of
penetration into character. His method
was to deal closely and severely with
conscience. He insisted upon the re-
sponsibility of the individual, which was
surely contrary to the prevailing ideas
of the time. He had been called ."tte
prophet of persdnaI responaibility." A
corrective, stimulating message made
his ministry a spiritual force to his
hearers. He did not sects, controversy
or opposition, but the condition .of
thinga involved such-. The people hated
the things of God and therefore hated
his prophet. Ezekiel could not do other-
wise -than'stand imposed to the age in
Which he lived. .
III. Was dependent strict Obedi-
ence. In his uplifted life the prophet
was brought into deep sympathy with
the divine will and was fitted to do the
Lordrs work, yet Ezekiel would have for-
feited the divine presence and protection
had he suffered liiinself to be corrupted
by the people. Ile was not to distort
the message. He Wag not to amend
the tams on which the Lord would deal
with his rebellious subjects. He must
demand . that the people comply with
God's word. The position of a watch-
man, thotigh dangerous, was important
in Judah, it was a. great mercy that
they should be given one who should
hear from God aud make known what he
said concerning his people. Ezekiel VMS
assured that God and angels would con-
cur with the predictions lie uttered. -
