The Herald, 1902-12-05, Page 3V V Otl ALM ,With the arrival elf the first real- ly winner like blast, •the lightweight gowns betake them,seiveii to the se- clarion of the cedar- chest or closet, and the furs, w,hi'oh have beep pack- ed away, begin to appear. Numerous attra:ctivo fur novelties bare mad.- .their initial appearance. One collarette of beautifully shaded mink, deep ager the shoulders and withten-inch t be r ching. almost to the bottom of the gdwn,, is or- nanwntfed with V-shaped insets bf Carmine. There is something patchy about this sort of thing which does not altogether satisfy one. The ngixture in this case seems incongru- ous andnharmonio i us: Seat and Chinchilla Blend. Seal and chinchilla seem, to blend because the texture In the fur is alike. The soft gray of the ohin- chilla, silky a0d soft and deep of pile, harmonizes well with thl'. vel- tvc'i:y softness and rich brawn of the smooth finish sealskin. Mink has a Curtain hardness, an iridescent shad- ing of the somewhat coarse hairs ,which does not blend well with the fine, snowy surfape of ermine or , kindred furs. it is fashionable, there- i fore it goes without saying that It will be used extensively, but it In a combination of which one tires quickly, and one which will probab- ly only enjoy popularity, for a sea- son. U-0 chinchilla and squirrel fill the popular demand for gray. For several years the possibilities of gray for house, stmet and even- ing gowns have been mare thorough- ly understood by those who cater to . the needs of the well dressed woman and the run which this color in all ed tliasgba3u g enom�enal. It rations of shade ha certaienjonly E well deserves all' the attention 1 .which It has received, since there is no color Which is more ladylike, t more refined or becoming than this j attractive shade. The silver gray, shimmery, delicate and elusive in tint, is far and away the prettiest sof the numerous shades shown and this in sheer fabrics or in silk or ;velvet combined wi,tb white offers greatest Opportunities for stunning ! effects in gowns. " A Vine Gown. One fine tallor, or rather after - moon gown, which in out and finish 3s t+a,to,r and yet which shows more I ornamentation than can properly +' Ile &add to llelong to a strictly tail- ored affair, is of blue cloth, ch.eviot- Like in weave, which has the skirt close fitting about the hips. The j introduction of flat side plaits be- II low the knee gives fullness and the proper flare. The &kart is trimmed (tit with a Black silk secession braid, with motifs of blaau k- uncut velvet, resembling baby lamb in surface and cut into a sort of trmfoil design, inset at Intervals and- outlined with the bisiid. Tho coat has a double skirt, giving a basque erfect ; these pieces are trimmed with beald. The coat blouses a trifle in front, has a eapelike col - Jar, braid trimmed and panel effect In the black velvet. The vest is of white satin covered with line am- broidery in lllue, green, black and opaline tints in large polka dots, inset ,n the body of the applique. The edges of white satin which ap- pear under the scalloped edge of the embroidery are ornamented with u .French knots in rose pink, blue and i black to correspond with the colors used in the trimming. The sleeves are quite full and are gathered into a, braid-trimmad cuff, which is point- ed and turns back from the hand. matte utility play second fiddle. There are so many of these pretty -little devices for adding to the ap- pearance of maid dlid matron that one is not astonlefed to }earn that allowances are not always suffici- en�tly- ample, tli'ough dlulte generous, .to cover all t'hle thousand and one thla,96 which are requisite for the modern 'toilet.

C amznentary.—lUaplanatory,. ]}wring t ho rule of the J'11c}lges 'there arose 14 ,greattfamine in thei Iandi of Israel, w1liolt must have lasted several .'ears. At this time there lived a family at Bethlehem consisting of Ellmelech, his 'wife Naomi, and two sons, whose names indicate feeble healt4u. Finding It difficult to 'ob- taln a living on the ,home farm on account of tho famine, the family; determined to emigrate to some safer+ and more fruitful region, even though it would compel them to bring UP their children among .heaten sur- roundinge. They )vont across the Jordan, probably at the fords of Jer- icho, turned to the south along the eastern shores of the Dead Sea, and settled amang the rich fields of the htoabites. riero great changes came to the family. In. the course of ten yearg the sons married MDab,tish Women, and both sons and Ellmelech their father, died in the land of Moab, leaving the three women widows. The widowed Naomi, poor, in div- tre ss, among strangers, became home sick for her native land, her kin- dred, the people of God, and the reli- gious aides and consolations of her Youth. . S The famine is m uo ever, a0- cordin•glyl she sets out on her return home—Pe,ouebt. The two &ugh- ters-an-law, Ruth and Orpah, were much attached to Naomi, and arose tot go with ,her, a part of the way, aqd thus shote their love for ,tor. Her wards of tenderness made them cling more clooely to her. 'Orpa.h kissed her mother-in-law, thus show- ing her love for ,her, but decided to return to her own country, on hear- ing the matter discussed so frankly by Naomi, She could not _go with ber an the ground of serving the God of Israel. T -111t Ruth clava unto Naomi and decided to return with her to Bethlehem. 16. And Ruth said—Atter Orpall had returned Naomi again put the test upon Ruth. Naomi would have her know and realize, fully the lm- Portance of her decision, and urge upon' her to decide it for God. This alma would help ,her to contrast the -difference between a heathen woman and an Ioraelite. Intreat me not to leave thee --stere came the ans- wer from the Heart. At this great erisls in her life, Ruth kept close com- Pauy with one, who served the God wham she now chose. She pleaded for, tho personal help and fellowship of Naomi. She desired that alae would not refer to her idolla, rela- tives and home, while she was in .heli a trying position. At once sho decided on her associates, and broke away from every apposing infln- onee.. Whither thou goer,t, I will go —Thug Ruth ends the debate.
