the bodice seems TO have become too short
wasted, as sometimes happens when the
wearer has lost flesh, or where it is desir-
able TO convert a round bodice worn inside
the skirt TO pointed one worn outside,
the necessary length may be added TO the
lining and the addition concealed by an
ornamental corsclet applied to the outside
Flat bands of trimming or openwork
strips OF lace or insertion are also excellent
means for enlarging garments which have
become too small, ard such remodeling
has no aspect of being n utilitarian neces-
sity, but rather looks like the original

rates these signs of the times. The infiu-
ence of the princess gown has also been in
the direction of coats or redingotes, so we
are likely to see the style emphasized dur
ing the winter. The round waist has had
a long season of success and cannot be ex-
pected to hold the first place forever in
spite of its convenience.
Coats and redingotes are Of all lengths,
from the middle of the skirt to the foot.
Some-indeed many-are rounded away;
others have the length chiefly in the form
of Positions; still others are Enthusiastically
cut, without any definite rule or regula-
tion. OF this class is the one shown In the
cut. The skirt of the costume is of black
satin, with a slight train. The coat is OF
red and black broche velvet, with long,
pointed tails falling to the foot Of the
skirt. The coat is crossed in front, fas
| tening with jeweled buttons over blouse
and belt of black satin. The collar and
chemisette are of white mousseline de sole

hat is trimmed with drapery of red vel

An Apple Sermon.

Some apples have a rough exterior, like
the rusty coat, " but have fine flavor
and are good keepers. So many persons
are uncouth, yet if fully saved they become
good and useful Christians and hold fast
to their profession. Such were Bunyan
Newton and others.
Some apples grow upon the outside
branches and are hard to reach, but are
often the largest and best. So with some
men and women. They are hard to reach
with gospel truth, but when gathered in
are faithful and true. Some we cannot
reach, but others can.
Some are bruised by fall. So some
Christians stumble and fall. Some Of
these apples are SCARED and wounded by
hail. So some Christians have "beset-
Sing sin" which scars the soul.
Apples keep best when "handpicked.
So in revival work; converts when hand
picked" are more apt to prove faithful

black cravats always go well with any
thing, OF course.
Very attractive wash flannels are shown
for fall and winter shirt waists. French
flannel, while seen in still greater variety,
is not very satisfactory for shirt waists, as
it shrinks badly in washing, being all
wool Scotch flannels in plaids or stripes,
being partly cotton, are moro satisfactory
and are to be found mainly in dark
shades, blue and green or red and green
plaids predominating.
Colored shoes are more and more worn
each year. Dark red, dark violet and dark
green, with, of course, tan, are the fashion
able oolors. Gray shoes are also much
liked. White ones are worn with light
gowns only.
