The Wingham Advance, 1911-09-07, Page 2Silk and satin gowns are fashionable now all the year around, and there is so much to be matt in their favorepo onig can wonder at their loug lived popular- ity. The dainty evening gown of lace, net and transpareilt material has an un- deniable charm, but the silk er satin evening gown is far more practical and often far more effective, lea embroidery on satin shows to greater advhatage than on the transperent fabrics. Now Weaves of Silk. Satin and silk street suite heve for quite a few seasons uow been extremely fashionable. For spring, summer and autumn they have semed most appro- priate, but last winter the wool -lack iaatin as a material suitable for winter made its appearance and at once became popular and WWI made up with velvet and fur as though it were cloth or velvet. For the cool days of summer a silk gown sanart and attractive, and this season the new shades and. new wea,vee of taf- feta silk are pecallarly desirable and well adapted to the ,present fashion, so that both for afternoon and evening gowns they are in constant demand. Changeable effects *end plain colors are for the moment the most fashionable, but there are many eingularly attrac- tive flowered alike now to be .seen, and there is every indication that before long the old fashioned elcirte may be revive ed, when theee same flowered silks will be in„high favor. Almost exaggerated in their simplioity are *erne of the newest inodels for taf- feta 'gowns, the only trimming of the material tself. fine tucks, pleats and ruehings, with the round, collar of lin- gerie and lace and cuffs to mateb. The one piece gown, high waisted, is the fav- orite model, while the colors of, nattier blue, aproeit pink, gieen, cerise and gray are all popular, and in obangeable ef- fects all light colors: The darker shades, for sozne unknown reaeon, do not re- ceive approval. Coat and Skirt Costumes. Coat and skirt costaimew in satin are smarter than silk, and this is quite un- expected, for satin- was' eo fashionable last year that it Wag thought silk would be the more popular Ws season. 'There is, of comae, no end of smart and most attractive silk costumes, but satin still holds its place for the coat and skirt costume and will centinue so to do for Many weeks to come. The one piece gown or satin, While extremely mart, is vet nova so fashionable as the silk made in tile eame style, e:xcept in black, a,nd black satin gowne in midsummer are not to be generally recommended. The new ilitin costumes are more elaborate, the coat is more trimmed and has collar, cuffs and pocket quite lavishly em- broidered. One moat attractive model is trimmed with velvet -folds on the skirt, around the skirts of the coats and faclug cuffs and collar. The velvet folds are put on like braid. is put on &age cloth. There are also most attrac- tive satin costumes trimmed evith fancy braid instead of velvet. These have trimmed skirts, made on the double skirt model, Light Weight Fabrics. All Bilks and satins Bow are soft of finish, much lighter in weight and eas- ier to make up than any of recent man- ufacture. Often a satin or silk seetus of the same order as a crepe de Chine In its texture ana c,an be made in ex- actly the same style. The folds fall gracefully, the waist can be draped be- comingly andyet there is a certain firm- ness that crepe de Chine leeks. Em- broidery on taffeta is one -of the bah - tenable t-rimnaings, and there are the inost elaborate of designs, as Well as the 'ampler border deeigne that out- lipe the henis of 'the skirt, the lower and tipper, ahd trim. both waist and jacket. The embroidery is done in silk the same color as the gown, and if the coloe throug,hout seems too plain and flat there le added „a touch of deeper shade or black in the belt or outlinnig the folds of the Waist or as an edge to the fronts of the jaeket, Rarely, if ever, is the embroidery oft,. contrasting color. Taffeta costumes, coat end skirt, are in quite elaborate models. The soft finished tafetta is the smartest, and the trinmaing is Of satin braid or bias folds of the silk, with many tiny crochet but- tons, The one piece gown with a short loos% jacket is imenensely smatt and im- mensely inuctical, for it ean be Went for to many different oteasions, the gown iteelf ilways being quite complete Without the coat.

This model made in changeable pale green or plek is 60 dainty and beeomieg that there eadenr, be little question that the fashion will be adopted by women. who are Filen- Narrow Pleatings Popular. A new feshion is the trimming with narrow ruffles or pleatings the lower part of the skirt. The baby Irish lace ruffles on the liugerie chiffau and silk gown are effective, while the narrow. silk ruffles edged with lace or triinmed with narrow black velvet ribbon are certainly new and, dainty. .A.fter‘ the long period of time when the plain skirts have aeon the most fashionable it seems strange to be obliged -to consider how skirts shall be trimmed, but there are few styles of skirts now that are not trimmed, and the absolutely .plain skirt is rarely ever noticed.. This is not state ing that only trimmed skirts are fash- ionable, but even when there is no trim- ming the material is fashioned eo there are extra folds, pipings or seams to prevent the effect of absolute severity of outline,' Cowlings of velvet, satin or silk are in fashion, and no matter hew narrow they certainly are effective aud will be seen on the smartest gowns of the winter. Satin finish crepe de chine is, included In the list'of satin gowns and will be fashionable for some time; in fact, is growing in favor again, although it has never been relegated entirely to the background. It is used for the draped gowns without trimming that are smaet from their very simplicity and their ar- tistic handling. . There are many shades in heliotrope and mauve in crepe de claim fashionable ,this summer that are wonderfully becom- ing, and these in draped gowns are fas- cinating. They have always a double skirt, but so draped. it is difficult to tell which is the lower and which the upper. The design is high waisted in effect, to be sure, with the straight lines looking straighter than ever and making the figure appear more slender; the folds are eaught together with a soft knot or rosette at one side. low down ou the skirt, This is one of the models that ie to all appearances most carelessly put together and without lining or bones. reality it can never lye well carried out unlese there is a eperfeet fitted lining with some bones, and with an equally carefully fitted skirt lining; the 'tkirt lining is short and is finished with a deep flounce of chiffon to make the gown hang better evithout being as stiff as if made of eilk. Raspberry Color Fashionable. It has alreaay been stated. that as a rule the skirt and -teat costumes of silk or satin have been, made in black or dark colors. Thie by no means a fix- ed law and in hefty there have lately been turned out: tome attractive eme tumee in light shades of heliotrope, blue, green and ceriee or .raspberry, a newer color than cerise. The skirt and waist ere so constructed, to look as if all in one and. complete without the jacket, the- jaeket none the lees being a moat important part of the coettune, smart inecut and finish and more or less eia- borate in design. These same silk jack- ets are now most effective and original garments, quite unlike any sort of coat and delightfully quaint ana attractive. Jabots and ruffles of lace are added to make them even more elaborate and be- coming. So that it is not reniarkable that the fashion is becoming more popu- lar every day. It may also be taken as a guide to the fashions of tlie winter, when the snort, elaborately trimmed reception . or afternoon street costumee. -A, T. Ashmore. FADS AND FASHIONS. Longer sleeves are inevitable, Still the vogue of velvet increases. The waistline is everywhere higher. All the early autumn hats are rather small. More fancy feathers and less plumes are worn. Large white satin revers are esed on many silk suits. Wide wale diagonals will le used in tailored costumes. Velveteens and corduroye will make up mealy handsome skirts.

Most Feathered Friends Fall Before the Cruel Rifle. When the household cat properly trained does not lave to depend upon her hunting skill for. her living she should not be classed as a bird murder- er. Could any creature be more justi- fied in taking bird life than the eat, wild with hunger, once pet, but eruelly and unlawfully abandoned? ea. writer ilwalie Cat Journal thus de- fends his client in the Cat vs. Bird case: "Let me say that my cat Dick early learned to carry home all the game he caught, but during, his niany years of huntiiig was knowii to have killed only two londs--a jay and a quail. How 'unity boys have shot so few? Hundreds of martins, swallows,' whene and blue- bleds have reared their youug around Dick's hoine, but ae never molested them. The birds .spoken of have little box houses built for them all about the farm and they gather materials around in the yards for their nests. They con- tinusilly war With each other and often fall to the earth in fierce conibat, which is very tempting to the eats. "No one admires the feathered song- stert more than the writer, for what would the wildwood be without them? Certainly dreary.

It was customary for heathen people to offer their food and drink to their idols by pouring out portions ou the grund.

The opening chapter of the boek of Daniel contains the key and clue to all that follews, for it reveals to us the cheraeter of its anther, Captive as he wail, Daniel had a loyal soul, He was as free in spirit in Babylon eS he Was JerLISA100. 1fe apd his three frientle were involuntary exilea from their na- tive lima. It was like the proud spirit of Nebuchealuezzer to mirround himself with the eplenclor of talent that would reflect additional glory on himself and his throne, Re wished to avail himself of- the best talent from the kingdom he had conquered, He chose the best material and then proceeded, iie lie 'hop- ed to subject it to the 'habits. and die- cipline which would naturelize it la its new country. The nation's most splen- did characters appeared. in its darkest hours. The king of Bebylon proposed to turn their superiority to account, His plan aimed at alienation with the young men. At the outset there arose a re- ligious difficulty. Perbaps the low state of religion in his own country had serv- ed to increase in Daniel the sense of re- sponsibility for an absolutely true course in his life in Babylon,. The mot. - ale of the Jews were depressed to the brink of national apostasy until jer- usalem was as irapure as Babylon, but Daniel wee from the very beginning of his career e true witness for pure relig- ion, Had lie yieldea to the first temp- tation he woula haraly have recovered his faith at a later time. The favor of God was more to him, than life. This was a crisis in Daniel's early life. The seemingly insignificant circumstances former his b.attle-field of great princi- ples. By his true purpose, his firm- ness and prudence, Daniel committed himself to a life of piety. To do other- wiee meant the surrender of principle, compromise of truth and apostasy of true religion. lIce woula have lost favor with God, turned his back upon his early faith, forgotten his own country, and become.a Babylonian idolater, He there- fore gave himself wholly to a certain definite purpose which he deliberately formed. While Daniel had formed this settled purpose in his heart, he adopt- ed the most prudent measures to accom- plish the object he had. in view. God stood by Daniel and gave him favor with the eunuch. Though a youth, Dan- iel took a stand for temperance and righteousnees against temptations and inducements which many times have shaken the purpose of strong men, Tem- perance in youth secured him against, remorsain old age. He thus brought to diviue held in characterenak- If. Infiuenced others to obef God. Daniers courage was influential and victorious, Moderation meant mastery. Daniel's consistent, goodly, upriaht life proved e great power with those Who were over him and with hie eompan- ions. His faithfulness us a true wit: nese for God gave inspiration to othere. He was true to a god,ly ednoation, not only in external virtues of religion, but Jo its very essence and power. His good example represented more fully the nature of virtue than any plea or de- seription of it could have done. Daniel and his three conmanions made a sie pteme regard for the will of God their rule of conduct even in the externals of religion. The result of their faith- fulness to Gad was their promotion in the palace and in the favor of the king. Their knowledge end skill, their learning and wisdom aro directly traced to the hand of the Giver of all good. He blessed their simple diet to their physical good and also quickened their intellects, Their Hebrew names were a witness not only to their nationality, but to their religion, and so these were clianged to suit Kina. Nebuchadnezzar; yet their hearts remained unchanged to- ward the King of Wings. It was a test- ing thne for four young men fuli possibilities, with great opportunities presented, to maintain their standarde of right. Their lives were a practical demonstration of the blessinga and benefits of temperance and piety, and an exaanple of the success of prudence, temperance a.nd a steady regard for religion. -T. R.

Ottawa. Sept. 4. -Two children, Theo- dore Glierlin, aged six, tual his sister, Beta,. aged tnree, wore seriously injured in the West end of the city last night by the exploeion of a fulminating cap ia the hands of the boy. Part of the lad's right hand wa.s blown off and he wilt probably also lose the sight of one' eye. Thegirl is painfully injured about tile face. The little tots wore pleying in a yard where a cellar was beilig ex- envatea, There were ten pounds of dynamite and a number of caps in separ- ate boxes, and the lad secured one 'of the caps. The children, snot knowing their danger, seated themselves on the box containing the dynamite and at- tacked the cap with stones. Fortun- ately the explosion ,of the cap did not disturb the dynamite, else both children. woald probably have been blown to atoms. The boy's "coudition is eritical, as lockjaw is feared. The oivio by-laws permit the storing of twenty-five pounds of dynamite, but a °harms of riegligetice may be brought against the contractor. • • TRIPLE DROWNING .1•••••*•••• • Three Canadian Northern Engineers the Vietims.
