This season's evening wraps are big, I Among the extreme evening wraps enveloping, eapelike affairs that are which I saw recently was ono of the Arabian burnous type. This was made of beautiful white silk WAIT hemietta, which fell in soft, full folds in the most admirable manner. It was a transfor- mation garment, for one of the seeming- ly plain folds could be drawn over the head in the shape of a hood, and yet wheu it was not so worn there was no visible evidenceof the hood. Any amount of glittering jet coats are shown, too. They are usually a glitter- ing mass of beads from the throat to the floor. Another clever model among these wraps was of tilleul green velvet trimmed with wide bands of embroidery and skunk. And so one might go on in- definitely with the lovely creations shown this season, for their variety is certainly infinite. The scarfs shown for evening wear grow in number, richness and beauty as the season advauces. A particularly beautiful scarf shown was of pale blue silk striped gauze. et was large and fin- ished at the ends with huge pompoms of eiderdown. It was shown on a deba- tante's costume of white net and was worn loosely about the neck and. &mil- der*, truly regal in their magnificence. Irmo sumpeuous furs to unlined nets and chif- 'rr"'""I'fbalt the eveuing wrap Tuns the entire gamut of materials. Broadcloth, velvet, broche, silk, ottoman and moire, crepe, all are given some place in the showing of beautiful evening garments for holi- day affairs. Some of the evening wraps have sleeves. and these are generally cut in one with the garment, a seam extending • across the shoulders and down the out- side of the sleeve in the Most barefaced .inanner. .A. number are shown in the low draped effects, seemingly tied in at the bottom in sash effect. The more simple cuts are of the 'uni- tary order, circular and. hanging straight with occasionally a slight drepery in the front and at the sides. The tendon is, however, to keep .all wraps along the Military lines simple in style. The re- versible idea Rolds strougly in favor - that is, the broadcloth cape with a com- plete reverse side of satin in contrasting color. A clever wrap that I saw the other day was a long, loose, reversible coat. it wan of a striking chrysoprase shade limed throughout with black, and had huge soft pointed revers . weighted by big black tassels. Whe lithe color side is worn outside the big revers and front factngs show the black, but whent dark- er coat is desired one simply turns this gay coat inside out and there is a black soft coat of mart cut, with facings, lin- ings and collar of a becoming color. Chiffon coat, in which lovely color ed over the softest of taupe crepe de veilings of chiffon in different colors, is not a new idea, but there are any num- ber of fascinatheg models shown along this line. One gooa looking one was in brown taupe, the smoky gray brown which has been a favorite for some sea- sons, and which is taupe brown or taupe gray accordingas the gray or the brown i predominates n the mixture. This taupe chiffon is laid over a soft dun blue chiffon, which harmonizes ex- quisitely with it, and, the whole is drap- ed over the softest of taupe crepe de charmeuse. Embroideries of self tones and a little dull gold. form the trim- ming. There is a neck finish and big embroidered buttons in taupe velvet. A 'smart imported cape shown was in soft black satin, long and ample, and was lined throughout with the popular if hardly beautiful lime green. The cape fastened on the left shoulder with su- perb ornaments of cut jet, and. when fas- tened showed only an inch band of green around the collarless neck and down the overlapping front, but when unbuttoned the fronts fell back, showing soft, point- ed lapels faced. with green and embroid- ered in green and gold. Another attractive cape was in rose liberty embroider& in jet, a fine design of the palm branch running over the up- per part of the cape, back, shoulders and chest. From the waist line down the satin fell in plain, rippling folds. Big jet buttons fastened the fronts. Just at the moment women seem to be accepting the VatiOUS forms of rich brocade with enthusiasm. To be sure, they eye the rich evening gowns in these materials with a little hesitancy and are not quite Imre that they like the models made up in brocades com. bined with plain materials, but when it comes to evening wraps, the appro- val is more sure and the brocade even- ing coats are meeting with unqualified. approval. Tese coats are the natural outcome of the new note in fashionable materials, a note of richness or subdued gorgeous- ness which does not yet detract from the cult of the soft and the supple. Both manufacturers and dressmakers are do- ing -their best to push forward these rich brocaded cloths,' and while all the gauzy. shimmery febrica are retained, side by side with them one finds wouder- ful brocades in satin, crepe, velvet, rich moire, failles and gros grains. All these are light and supple to a degree that would amaze the old time beauties who knew these fabrics in then - wee NECK BOWS MA1DH FELT HATS. Many of the now felt hats for every day use have drapings or folds of col- ored chiffon velvet or silk. The up-to- date girl is matching this color with tulle bows for her neck. The tulle is cut in straight strips and folded leugthwise four times to give sufficient thickness to stand out in two square folded tabs. A half yard of tulle cut in two lengthwise will make two bows. Nerrow, not too tight folds are brought over centre. These are held in the centre by a large brooch, or better yet, by one of the pins with prongs to simulate a buc- kle, Old cameo gold that have for years been thought too large for the neck, can be turned to account to hold one of the new tulle bows. While these bows are used with the stiff collar, they are particularly liked to pin to the front of e. lingerie blouse that opens up the back. Do not make the mistake of baying the loops too long, as they get "slinky.' Their smartness consists in being stiff and tailor made, combined with a pleas- ing softness given by the material. Five and one-half inches from end to end is a good length. yam* a.... PHOTOGRAPHIC 'DON'TS' OF EXPERT. Do you know any task much harder Man to sit for a photograph? Here are some "don'ts" which were given by an expert artist in this line. Don't wear bluish white einf slird shr and it was said it was said that the m Ando except orearn color, Don't wear gray, yellow or tan; black, dark green, blue or red are decidedly the best. Don't wear stripes, plaids, or checks. Don't wear silk, satin, or any glossy material. Lace trimmings usually come out clearly. Don't wear a hat, as they look strange when the style changes. Don't arrange the hair elaborately; it will give a fixed look. Velvet, or soft woollen goods, take particularly well, Don't have a profile picture nnlesa you know you possess au extremely good one, and not nzany tan boast of that. Don't argue about the position, Go to a good photographer and allow him to do the posing, and if you wear glass- es don't remove thena for the sitting. If you do, the result will be strained and unnatural looking eyes. - After all, try to forget that thc: pnotte graph is being taken. After all, it ally takes a few seconds, and it is the "thought" that is so unpleasant, lob the act. Just try to be and look natural as possible under such trying circum. stances. RUSSIAN STYLES THE THING. The madness tor everything Itusslan is growing daily with the designers. It began with the advent of the Czar's (tamers in Paris, and it is now accepted as the leading note in every part ot tashion. The fact that we shall see Anna Paw- lowa, the ballet leader, over here this winter intensifies American interest in these marvellous Russian styles. The military turban is the most her- alded and the least important. It ni swamped on a sea of other turbans, call- ed by half a dozen different names, and leading themselves to a dozen separate shapes. Of these the Chian amt the Oriental are possibly the preferred. ones. The Cossack hat has its place among them, and it will be chosen by the wo- man who will have her new tailor suit made with a long Russian blouse instead of a coat. This garment promises to . be in the lead, aud it looks especially well 1n the rough, shaggy fabrics that the ehops of- fer to -day, instead of the once prevalent broadcloth. These have a zibeline finish that, in itself, is suggestive of the bit- ter MOSCOW winters. This blouse panders to. the demand for extra, length in all top garments; it famtens at the left side from shoulder to hem with 'flat buttons, and is belted in with a broad band of eon patent leath- er. Sometime velvet or ribbed 'silk is preferred. The belt is loose and drops a line or earlier incarnation. There was a day tow below the xisual waistline, back and when the fact that a brocade or a gros front, showing that the Moyen Age grain could stand alone was colmted as .styles remain with us. The collar is high, a surpassing virtue, Now the brocade if one wishes, but the correct thing is or gros grain or velvet that does not col- to have a round, rolling one that fits lapse into the limpest of heaps on the the neckband and does not meet in slightest provocation is quite outside she front.

The hat and the hair seem estranged from eaelt other and tlmir failure to meet in a reasonable degree of intimacy produces a jarring result that destroys the entire appear - once of the headgear. Neither the hat nor the hair seem tile place, and the woman beneath theta is weighed down by. a glaring discord. A woman, in selecting a hat, should assure herself in advance that her hair eau be arranged in accordanee with the hat. The hair should softly follow the outline of the hat where the hat eonies in contact with the head, leaving no staring gaps with parts of the hat apparently suspend ed in 'nide& ThIAnitening effect of the hair ahould also eliminate tha sharp lint* .1 YOUR HAT HARMONIZE. of the brim, giving the hat the ef- feet of nestling in the hair, rather than resting on top of the head. I Careful attention should be given I to the effect of the hat at the back and both sides. A hat quite becoming in front may be quite unbecoming front a different view. For the same ! reason care should be given to the ; arrangement of the hair on all sides. The hair forms the connecting link between the hat and the face, and its misatrangeMent may spoil the ap- I pentium of both, Therefore the taste that a woman displays in the seleetion of her hats will &vide whether or not she will look well. &a the attached diagram Trere you see the effect of 7oor ;11dgment in selection ;.nd also ;yowl judgment.

In a stiff hat this is most trying, but in the popular shirred hats it is quite becoming. The necessary height is obtained by means of high standing feather trim- ming.

Baptized -- John was preaching reeputance, and in presenting themselves for baptism the people declared that they did repent. This application of water to the body was a sign of the inward work of re- pentance. IL The Pharisees reproved (vs. 7-10). 7. Pharisees and, Sadducees-The interest arused by John's preaching affected all classes. The Phaisees were a set of Jews claiming to be the strict observers of the law. Their name means "separa- tion." At this time their religion was formal and lifeless. The Sadducees were materialists, denying the resurrection and the existence of spiritual beings. come to his baptism -The announcement of the coming Christ attracted them.

The preacher, Four hundreds )(gars before John canee, Melaelti had written, "Behold, I will send my messenger" (Mal, 3; 1). Seven huadred years be- fore Isaiah had written, "The voice of him that crieth" (Isa. 40: 3). John was more than -a prophet (Matt. 11: 11), He was not only the last prophet of the old dispensation (Matt, 11: 13), but the beginner of the new (Acts 1: 21, 22; 10: 37), In personality and preitehing he belonged with the Old Testament • pro- phets; in humility and devotion, with the New Testament preachers. For years Ile prepared the way before the Lord, then he cried to the people, "Pre- pare ye the way." lle preanhed "re- pentance," and his coarse clothing ' and plain food were object lessone upon his word. Ills life kept :Op with his lips. No wonder that "all men counted" that John "was a prophet indeed." The proclamation, God compares stern Bible truth to an ax (v. 10). Like an an ax, his word is sharp and powerful (Heb, 4. 12). He who wields ib should, like John, be filled with and led by the Spirit. Some of John's words were: 1. "Prepare yo the way of the Lord" (v. 8). Fill every valley of dejection and despondency with joyful praise; tear down every mountain of pride aud con- ceit and selfishness by lowly, loving note of kindness (Ise. 40. 3, 4). 2. "Make his paths straight" (v. 3). Have no crooked ways. Indulge in no under- hand practises,. Do not slyly take a few peanuts from a fruit -stand, nor rob a melon patch or corn field, nor steal a ride on a car, nor copy the example of of some industrious pupil; nor cheat oven for fun in playing games, nor play for keeps, nor follow the crooked ways of the mercantile world. Be straightfor- ward, be hottest, be true. How? By look- ing constantly at the Christ. If you look at circumstances, discouragement% past Tenures, or the wrong -doings of others, your path will be crooked. Yon can only make his paths straight by "looking' to Him (Heb. 12. 1, 2). 3. 'Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance" (v. 8). Repentance is a -prominent scripture theme. Our Lord preached repentance (Matt. 4. 17). He commanded • us to preach it (Luke 24. 47). It was the theme of apostolic preaching (Acts 2. 38; 3. 19; 17. 30; 26. 20). True repent- ance is a heart broken for sin, and n life broken from sin. 4. "He shall baps tin you with the Holy Ghost and with fixe' (v. 11). Fire burns, brightens, blesses, .John the apostle saw 'seven lamps of fire -which are the seven spir- its of God," the fulness of the Holy Spirit (Rev. 4. 6). "The spirit of ME- ness" (Rom. 1. 4), "the spirit of .... burning" (Isa. 4. 4), consumes, refines, purifies, sanctifies, makes holy. leirce waems, soothes, melts and moves. The tongue of fire (Acts. 2. 3) is God's mes- sage of blessing, Prayer under the,pow- er of the Holy Spirit bring* convecticin to sinners, and eneouragement to saints, The Proclaimed, John was always disciples heard John and followed Jesus baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire, Sohn only baptized with water (v. 11). Jesus was "the Word" (John 1. 1), John was only "the voice" to draw dean to his great Successor (John 1. 23). Jesus must increase,' John must de- crease (John 3. 30). Jesus was preferred before John (Sohn 1. 27, 30), for the disciples heard John and followed Jesus (John 1. 37). jesus was "the Christ," John only "sent" John 1. 20; 3. 28). Jesus was "that prophet," John was only His herald (John 1. 21). Jesus was "the Light," John was "a witness." John was "a witness" (John 7). Jesus -was the Bridegroom, John only the Bride- groom's friend (John 3. 29).

Stefoff May Have Been More Than Double Murderer. May Have Murdered Two More in Erie County, reroute despatch: That there was 110 miscarriage of justice in the conviction and -execution at the jail yesterday morning of Poral Stefoff, is now placed beyond any doubt. Not only did Stefoff admit the justice of his sentence, but he confessed to another murder in Indiana, and the police are satisfied he. was also the murderer of two Macedonians in Me County, New Yak State. The abate for which Stefoff was executed was cone - milted on April 22 last; at 1.6 Eastern avenue, the victim being Evan Simon, also it Macedonian, As' soon as the arrest and description of Stefoff had been circulated by the detective department little bits of in- formation began to reach the officers and one of these pointed to the likeli- hood of the man being wanted for other murders elsewhere. Piece by piece the information was gathered, and finally the detectives believed that in Stefoff they had a man wanted near Bedford, Indiana, for murdering and robbing an Englishman. The crime was committed in a boardingthouse peopled mostly by MatedoMens, and when the police ar- rived on the scene these people, in their desire to shield Stefoff, Ova such in- formation as threw the officers clean off the trace of the criminal. After committing this crime Stefoff returned to Macedonia, but it is charg- ed that even there officers were after him for alleged crinies in his own land. Be that as it may, he onto more retuned to the United States and started work in a quarry ht Brie coun- ty, not very far from Buffitlo. After working around the locality for Borne time he again slisappetteed, but not un- til the pollee were hunting for the illitycr of two Macedonian, whose bodies were found in a box-cer. The crime was attributed partly to revenge and partly to secure ntortey. It was seem ascertained that Stefoff had gone backto southern Europe or A.sut, Minor. There were some stops being taken to secure his extradition, but once more the Emmett can to this side of the Atlantic, making his h,pmer in Toronto. Shortly after hie edited ben the Shnoff Mercier Was tomtit - ted.

Artel there been no tonviction here Stefoff would kayo been extra. dited to answer charges in the United States, The city detective department kept the information they had obteieed concerning the other crimes an abso- lute secret. so that there could be no danger of unduly inflaming the pub - lie mind are perhaps influencing the jury. The department further con- e'S: sidered that whilst efforts were being made to obtain a reprieve it would be unfair to say anything about what they had learned of the prisoner's previous record. - 0 HER COLD FEET.
