NOTES ON THE STYLES.
Small Matters of Interest to Followers OF
the Fashions.

Small Matters of Interest to Followers OF
the Fashions.
Velvet ribbon is favorite garniture
for demi-toilets of various materials.
A basque of rich fringe, shaped to a
deep point in front and tapering mar
row to the back, is seen on some of the
handsomest dinner gowns
Swallow gray with magnolia white or
Indian red, palest doe-color with dark
russell and Egyptian blue with pale sill
yer are combined in the handsomest
cloth gowns.
Velvet and wool are combined in
some of the most tasteful winter gowns.
The velvet often forms peasant waist,
which can be worn with various
dresses, or a basque of graceful shape,
with skirt, vest and sleeves of striped
vigogne or camels hair.
Pingot, the famous Partisan designer
of costumes, makes black velvet coats
of the prevailing three-quarters length,
with fitted back, large pockets on the
sides and the straight fronts to turn
back and show facings of black guipure
lace wrought with gold.
A new and delicate shade of rasp-
berry pink is called ''salambo This
color, combined with Russian green, is
especially effective. A very beautiful
brocade, recently seen at a leading
shop, had beautiful flower design bro
caded on a ground shot with these two
colors.
Some of the new roun 1-waisted
French dresses are finished with sharp
ly-pointed bretelles that reach a trifie
below the waist line, front and back.
Many are delicately embroidered at the
edge; others covered with straight rows
of gimp, ribbon or braiding in ara
besque patterns, and again the betelles
are made of velvet. studded with nail
heads.
The. old-fashioned knotted fringes
used years ago in various widths have
appeared again. and are used in grace.
full ways upon some of the handsomest
gowns of the season. Ruchings of silk,
fringed at the edges and laid in close
triple plaits, are also revived. and these
make a very good and becoming substi-
tute for ostrichfeather trimming.
The accompanying acce ssories which
come with recently-imported fabrics for
evening gowns are in the form of lace
berthas and some rich Vatican ribbon
sashes Brocades in flower designs pre-
vail among the sashes. Among the
flower designs are red and white pop
pies of enormous size, punches of pur-
pie iris, marguerites and huge carna-
tons.
Silk velvet comes to the fore this sea-
son as fabric pre-eminent for trim
ming. Velvet skirts are also highly
fashiorable once again, and are worn
beneath very dressy open-fronted coats
of satin brocade that have vests of ecru
corded silk. embr oidered and finished
with a lace frill that goes around the
neck of the high collar, and is jaboted
all the way down the front of the vest.

We continue Christ's farewell conversation
with his Disciples.
God sent Christ into this world His advent
was made at Bethlehem about 33l years before

about TO return. The next dav he died and 30
IN sense went back to the Father. His body
was put into the sepuchcr. while his soul went

way was the way TO the cross, the ria DOL

followers. He did not refuse 20 go-uether
must we decline the route though 10 be rough.
One sent returns to report, and so our Savior
would complete his mission and 90 back. A
person sent hesitates to return before the object
IS accomplished for which he went
Christ knew he was going % DEPART. His
Disciples were not conscious enough Of this fact
to raise any queries. 1t WIS not indifference
10 his going from them that caused them to
ask no questions. It was indeed their thought
that the Master had come to stay. As soon as
aware OF the departure Of their Friend they
took the matter 10 heart. It was then ChFist's
aim to explain 10 them several reasons setting
forth the utility Of his going from earth. He
proved to them it was expedient
The great reason given for his departure was
that consequence should be the coming of the
Holy Spirit. lt is evident Christ'5 going TO
Heaven was the condition Of the descent Of the
Comforter. Why the Holy Ghost could not
come without Christ going is not explained.
we can rely on our Saviors Judgment and dec
laratlOn. When Christ reached Heaven he was
to send the Holy Spirit. No reluctance Of the
Holy Spirit TO come to earth is implied The
Spirit was sent (V.7J "a Christ was. ". 81
The third Person Of the Trinity is as concerned
for our salvation as is the Father or the Son.
