STYLES in New Skirts.

The new skirts-many Of them are
veritable old-fashioned models. They
positively invite crinoline into their
folds. Over the hips, however. they
are fitted snugly and with great skill.
AS yet there is no suggestion Of pam
ers, though perhaps the new short
basque jacket may be a forerunner
in disguise Of this fashion Of other
days. It is below the hip-curve that
the modish skirts this autumn began
to show their fu!lress, and as they
near the bottom they become grace
fully full and tiaring. Of course,
there Is q reason why they hang in
this correct and fascinating fashion.
The new lightweight princess hair.
cloth has much to do with it. Some.
times It is used in the skirt proper,
and then again 1t is sewed in the
fiounce or flounces Of the drop skirt.
Heavy cords are another device for
giving a full skirt the proper fare at
the bottom. Frequently two or three
featherbone cords are used in the silk
drop.Skirt.

New ideas In Furs.

IN fur coats for winter wear there
arc a number Of new shapes in bole-
ros, and while the blouse coat in fur
VIII be less worn than last season,
still styles In blcuses are also shown.
The long sEirted Louis XIV. and
Louis XVI coats in fur have vests OF
embroidered cloth. velvet, or a con-
trasting fur, and the new fur, yetta.
which can be embroidered, Is also
used.
Moired caracul and baby lamb, be-
ing shOrt'halred, will be much seen in
these coats. Pony skin in black will
be another favorite in long coat furs.
Sable paws are being worked up
into coats as well as muffs, and while
much less expensive than the sable
skin garments, tho cost Of combining
the snail pieces into coats renders
them anything but cheap.
IN squirrel skin garments, the heads
Ct the animals will be utilized, and
the matching of the stripes will re-
suit in effects quite unlike the furs
made Of Whole skins.
The making OF these small pieces
OF fur into garments IS done in Ger
many, where manual labor Is much
cheaper than in this country.
Bear, raccoOn and fox furs will be
much seen in neck pieces, the long
mp making them a softenins setting

Flat StOies and pclerineg are to be
much worn, and in muffs the fiat

for outdoor ami informal wear. Vests

TO the exquisite embroideries, passe-
rlcnter;es, appl.ques, ncedlework and

with her needle can add that touch Of
originality and individuality to her
velvet gown that will go far toward
making it conspicuous success, and
when the buttons are made 70 match

the founder of a great religious refor-

Ky. 1t was here that he discovered
he was not in accord with the relig-
ious ideas Of that age.
Here, too, was held that remark
able revival in 1901. It almost gave
at that time a national fame to this
little place in the cane brakes Of
Bourbon county. Here is descTip-
ton of one Of the meetings, by an
eyewitness.
when the ground had been clear.
ed, seats of roughly hewn logs were
prepared; over these seats a roof of
clapboard was erected, a rude stand
constructed for the speakers, houses
OF logs or tents erected. The attend.
ance at this meeting was enormous,
having been estimated at twenty to
thirty thousand persons. The relig.
ious duties were kept up day and
night without intermission. There
would be a half a dozen preachers
at the same time in different parts of
the grove. The hospitality was free
and lavish. At night the scene was
weird in the extreme, hundreds of
candles and torches throwing their
uncertain light upon the tremulous
foliage, the solemn chanting of hymns,
impassioned exhortations, earnest
prayers, sobs, shrieks or shouts burst
ing from excited persons. The sud.
den spasms that seized upon scores
and cast them suddenly to the earth,
all conspired to invest the scene with
terrific interest and to work up the
feelings to the highest pitch of ex.

thought of its manifestations, pro-
duced another great crisis in relig.

But Ireland and Scotland had a
great share In the development OF
this movement Thomas Campbell, a
Presbyterian minister, left Ireland to

later his son, on the way to join his

1909 father and son found themselves
thinking very much alike. In that
year the famous Declaration and Ad

Campbell and those associated with
him declared their intention Of taking
the Bible alone as thoir rule of faith
and practice. Such stand naturally
produced opposition that has not yet
