Misses, Blouse with Piastron Yoke.

No design is more youthful than the
blouse with plastron yoke, and none
lends itself more readily to the use of
two materials. The model shown COM
bines plaid in soft wool stuff with silk
which matches the line of rich blue
running through the design. The
trimming consists of the popular black
velvet ribbon and a quilting Of the
blue silk about the free edges. The
belt is of black velvet and the collar
of the silk banded with black. The
foundation of the blouse is a fitted
lining showing the usual number of
seams and pieces and which close at
the centre-front. The back portion of
the yoke is faced onto the lining, but
the front is made separate and is

scanned at the right shoulder and
hooked over to the left. The blouse
proper has short shoulder and under
arm seams only, the slashed basque
portion being cut separate and scanned
to the blouse at the waist line. The
right front is stitched to the lining,
but the left hooks into place beneath
the trimmed edge. The sleeves are
two-seamed and snug to the shoulder,
where slight pufs support the stylish
epaulettes. Cashmere and Henrietta,

For Want Of Sense Of God.

1t is for want Of steady, profound sense
OF God that the lives of so many are fltful
and full OF failure. Their experience is
shallow, because there is so little OF God in
it. He Is not in their thoughts. They do
not pray without ceasing. They do not
abide In Christ. But when the heart Is sur
rendered to the Lord Jesus he comes to
dwell there, and when the new vision OF His
glory breaks on the soul 1t can never be for
gotten. We become as profoundly and as
permanently conscious ofthe Lord 8 presence
as we are of our own existence We live and
move and have our being in Him-G. H. G..

New Fertillzing Material.

Experiments upon a sub-stratum OF
swempy soil on the Myrtle Grove Farm, In
Queen Anne County, Md, have developed
a new fertilizing material and new stock
for brown and durable paint. The mud,
when subjected to an evaporating process,
hardens into crusty blocks. This substance,
when crushed, has been found available
for fertilizing or as the body Of paint II
the usual mixing fluids be added.

We Cannot Understand God.

The peace OF God, which passes all un-
derstanding which battles analysis, which
has an intnitude Of depth about it. AS you
cannot understand remote stars, nor the
overhanging vault which you cannot at all
explore. but can only feel as you feel your
life, so you cannot touch this peace Of God
with your understanding. 1t lies round you
like an atmosphere. 1t dwells in you Ike a
fragrance. 1t goes from you like subtle
elixir vitae. "My peace l leave with you,

rough-faoed cloth, which is bound
with fur and trimmed with braid.
With it is worn hat of long-haired

The coat proper consists Of fronts,
backs, side-backs and under-arm
cores. The fitting is accomplished by
means of the last and the shoulder
seams. The backs and under-arm
pieces are adjusted to tho figure, the
backs being finished by regulation

fronts are loose. The right side laps

are peculiarly suitable and many efec-
tive combinations of plain dark color
and plaid or striped yoke can be made,
while shirred velvet and silk make
ideal yokes for plain stuffs.
To make this blouse for miss OF
fourteen years will require two and
one-fourth yards of forty-four inch
material, or two yards of plaid with
one-half yard of plain goods.

Muffs Large and Small.

Fashion declares for the carrying of
muff'as necessary part Of the smart
fall costume. It need not necessarily
be made of fur, although to be quite
the thing fur should figure somewhere
as it's ornsmentation, while the foun-
dation must match the color and mate
rial of the gown. The lining may be
of contrasting color. These finger
warming affairs are equally fashionable
in large or small models, though the
ultra-size of the Victorian period is
very wisely tabooed by the woman who
would be we'll dressed.-Woman's

HJust Put Ont Self.Lfpht,

In looking at the stars through a great
telescope, it Is necessary first to put out
every light until you are left In total dark
ness. Every light sets the air in motion, and
disturbs the focus, and blurs the vision Of
the stars. How often our vision Of God Is
blurred and dimmed by the flames Of self
consciousness and sordidness that float
around us! How many times we haveto put
out the light of self-seeking, earthly ambi-
ton and false pride OF position in order to
took upward, and in the clear still air to
know hither Gods lights are leading us, ,and
what God will have US to dow. H. P.

fronts. The folded belt of bias velvet
widens at the under arm seam, ahand-
some gilt buckle concealing the clos

of the waist is exceeding simple and
very generally becoming. The full
front, being only slightly bloused,
makes it particularly we'll adapted for
stout figures. Innings fitted with the
usual seams and double darts serve as
a foundation, on which the fulness OF
both back and fronts is deity arranged
The bolero fronts are included ii the
shoulder and under-arm seams, and
ioin the smart, clcse-ftting collar,
which, with the full fronts, closes in
yisibly in centre. The close-htting
sleeve is shaped with an upper and
under portion, the latter being narrow
in the latest and most approved shape:
A stylish ripple circular cap trimmed
with braid finishes the top of sleeve.
The skirt has front cores, being
much modified in width according to
the latest modes. The back is laid in
fan plaits, two on each side, turning
towards the centre and tlaring towards
the foot as the name indicates. The
handsome trimming, applied in Van
Dyke style, is supported by an under N
facing Of lightweight hair-cloth or
canvas. The prominence given to
braid for all kinds of trimming gives
endless possibilities as to the manner
of decorating such toilette, individu-
