Newest Designs and Materials Now
FillinE the Eye of Smart
DreSsers.

Green velvet is always good as a cuI
and collar material. but red is little
newer and is being used where green
was used last year
The plain round velvet cuff, not too
deep. is observed upon many Of the nt W
est winter gowns and the same material
is used for the lapels. says the Brooklyn
Eagle.
The inoffensive turned-over lapel and
the little plain round cuff is enc of the
features Of the new gown. and is seen
over and over again. Though not novel
nor striking. it is again the vogue. The
very newest tailor-made cuff is little
turnover OF red velvet. trimmed with
very narrow black braid. The turnover
collar and the lapels exactly match. This
is the tailored vogue Of the season.
But there are others One is the very
wide flare cuff which is so fashionable
This is the cuff that is nearly quarter
OF yard wide. looking almost Ike an
old-fashionod flowing sleeve. IL Il
trimmed on the outer side with rows and
rows Of stitching. while its inner side is
lined with silk. This very wide flarinp
cuff is extremely comfortable and is
good over any house sleeve.
The best of the new sleeves do TO prop
erly show any cuff at all But the sleeve
flares gradually without visible cuff and
is stitched on the outside and lined on
the inside, and is one OF the smartest
sleeves there Is.
There is another way OF treating the
flaring cuff. Let II flare as wide as Il
will And. In the inside. stitch a very
deep rufiie of lace. Let II be at least two
fingers wide. Ii must fall out OF the
sleeve and down over the knuckles. This
lace. which should be OF the heavy per-
suasion. can be taken out and Numbered
II must hang far below the sleeve and In
some cases IL comes almost TO the finger
tips. like the lace upon a courtier's coat
The three-quarter coat is lovely. Tight
fitting. plain as Dicks hat band. without
the suspicion OF a wrinkle or a crease
anywhere. it Is the smartest thing OF
the season. True. II may be padded tc
preserve its shape. and it may be stiffen-
ed In the shoulders and made fuller over
the bust. but when complete II is com
plete indeed.
The fashionable coats are now padded
as 10 the shoulders. and, though the
shoulders are not pulled out into big
puff sleeves. the uppers or tops OF the
sleeves are padded 10 give the widc-

NOT ALWAYS RIGHT.

Teachers in denominational educa-

right in the doctrines taught, simply
because they hold exalted public po-
sitions in the church.

of heresy against Prof Borden p.
Bovine of Boston University. a Method

Bovine in his teaching of Christian

would err in their attitude of personal

GEN. Lew WALLACE.

The picture which late dispatches
give of Lew Wallace under sen
tence of death from a stomach
which cannot accept nourishment,
will bring a pang of regret and
heartfelt sympathy from hundreds
of thousands who learned to know
and love the author in the pages of
Ben-Hur." This novel, with its
unique appeal, its phenomenal pop
ularity and worldwide vogue, is not
by any means the only source of its
authors great distinction. A sol
dier in the Mexican war, an officer,
rapidly advanced because of heroic
and skillful service in the Civil
war, his later work as diplomat and
author only added new luster to
reputation already bright and per-
manent.
General Wallace recently told
the story of the conception of Ben
Hur." Colonel Robert G. Inger-
soil was his close friend. AT one
time the great-hearted, lovable TN
believer discussed at length his neg
ative religious views with General
Wallace. The latter had given lit
tie attention to the reasons for the
faith he held. In fact, the faith it
self was more or less nominal. Still
he was unwilling to accept Colonel
Ingersoll's denials, and, finding
himself unequal to argument and
ill-informed OH the entire matter,
he began careful study of the
New Testament.
He not only became thoroughly
convinced that his friend was
wrong, but became enthralled with
the power of the life of the Nazar-
enc as depicted in the gospels. So
powerful was the impression made
upon him by the simple beauty and
divine potency of the Man of Cali
lee that desire grew upon him to
make this life real and vital to the
generation by a picture which
should captivate the imagination as
the gospel story had won his own.
The result proved that his hopes
were well founded.
Too great familiarity had served
to blur the sacred story, and the
new form and skillful setting illum-
mated anew the wondrous Tale of
the Christ.
The life story of General Wal
lace will be full of interest and sig
nifcance if he succeeds in the strug-
gle against death long enough to
finish it. Already the greater part
is finished, and it will add much
valuable material to many phases
of American history.
