Ladies'
TailOr-Made Costume.

6221L6o22- may seem strange i'm these
days of over-trimmed effects that there
should be a revival of the simple tailor
made. but such is the case With such
gown woman is well turned out Tor any
OCCASION and Ii is perchance, the one gown
that she wears most of all. II is for that
reason II should be the newest cut and as
good material one can afford. The close
fitting long skirted coat is the newest arri-
val, and we may safely say Ii has come TO
stay. Since these coats are generally becom-
ing We have much to be thankful for. The
short pleated Eaton jackets that we have
had so much of were very pretty when well
made but so many of them had an anna
teurish' appearance in both make and fit
and seemed to be so constantly at odds with
the rest of the costume that we are truly
glad to find a coat that will come below the
waist line, just as far as is becoming, and
one that is better suited to 1.-The art of home
dressmaking." With this in view the model
here shown has been cut on lines that are
most easily handled. Both front and back are
made with seams extending to the shoulders.
These lines allow for any alteration. and
thus the garment is much easier fitted than
the dart-fitted. which always left a fullness
in the front one didn't know what to do
with. The coat, like all the new ones is
single breasted In order TO bring the waist
coat into evidence. II may button over the
waistcoat or open just enough to show it,
The sleeve is of the newest shaping and fin
ished by a deep cuff \ fancy pocket is
also given, which may may not be used.
The pattern Is made of front. side front,
back. side-back and under-arm gore. with
the sleeve portions, vest and collar. There
are no intricacies In the pattern. 1t is notch
ed and otherwise marked in such a manrer
that one would have no more difficulty In
building the garment than If 1t were a
blouse The skirt accompanying is made in
SeVen-gore plated style. The plaits are deep
narrow panel front and a box plat In the
newest styles. IL desired the plaits could

One Of Nirginia's Representative tells
this good story about A. b. Woodward,
appointed chief justice Of Michigan Ter
ritory. by President jefferson:
Woodward was an old bachelor. an
advocate of race suicide. and was one
OF the most peculiar men Virginia ever
produced
In those days shirts were made with
a whole lot of frills and laces on the
fronts. and il was Woodward's custom
10 buy an even dozen of these at q time.
lie would put on one of the dozen, wear
il until il become soiled. then put on
another over this. and so on until he
had the entire dozen shirts on
When the last was soiled, he would
peel u ~ and let the next shirt do duty
for a few days. then slip II and expose
another for service. When the dozen
shirts had thus done double duty, he
would 20 TO bed until the shirts were
washed and iroucd and then so through
the same process of shirt wearing.
Now" says the Representative. 'thls
is Il pretty stretchy shirt yarn, but II is
said 10 be solid fact. And to make il
worse. old Woodward never changed
his undershirt until IL was worn out !

But one thing should be remembered
in this connection. IL is that each in
dividual is born with this kind OF heal
ing power himself or herself. Nc one
can give you that power. 1t is one of
the natural powers of the human mind.
II is far better 10 heal yourself than TO
go 10 some other person for a cure.
which, at best, is only temporary. Do
not let your mind be controlled by any
other mind Men and women who go
to mental healers or Christian Scientists
for help and who allow themselves 10
be influenced by the minds If others. do
not realize that by allowing themselves

Because a yogi eomprehends this

Influenced by the minds OF others. And
for the same reason he is careful about
attempting a cure OF his fellow beings
While through perfect concentration it
possible 10 cure an ill person other
than himself the yogi rarely attempts
this, knowing the danger 10 which he
is submitting the patient. Vedanta
teaches the power which is latent in
every human being for self-cure. We
could, however. cure others, and have
done so In extreme cases such as fever

by the power Of concentration.

Bait for the Devil.

This fish story is substantiated by
Representative Hardwick OF Georgia:
A Methodist preacher had made HIM
self exceedingly unpopular with the
young people of his denomination by an
effort to PUT the ban on every amuse-
ment. no matter how innocent. He even
went 50 far as TO say that the man or
woman who said there was a Santa
Claus was d deliberate and wicked liar.
The youngsters had no earthly use
for the minister. One Sunday afternoon
he took stroll in the outskirts of the
little country town and discovered sew
eral boys fishing.

''Vedanta explains the true basis OF

because il is written in a certain chap

OF the spiritual oneness OF the universe.

less mind from taking the forms Of

self-conuol of a yoga is that state OF
mind in which no desires or passions OF
any kind disturb the peace and tran
quillity 0l his soul. Such a state OF
mind can be acquired more easily by
removing the bubbles Of desires before

by attacking them while they are in

meditation upon the supreme truths the
desires may be brought under complete

Vedanta teaches that the soul never
dies. that the soul of each individual
man is part OF the divine power usually
termed God. It teaches also that the
soul OF man will return TO this earth in
various incarnatiOns which represent
the different stages of advance toward
that perfection Of being which is the

yoga is materially aided by a vegetarian

-Four Divisions Of Yoga.

There are four grand divisions OF yoga,
and each division is suited 70 a differ
ent tendency Of mind. The first di-
vision of yoga is called Karma Yoga.
II is for the active man, for those who
like 20 work. the busy everyday work
inE man. II Is largely the science of
physical culture BY this means the
true science Of physical culture which
The Washington times., 1904-12-18

depends upon the concentration of the
mind upon work In hand as we'll as the
mere going through with certain exer-
eises. Karma Yoga teaches the secret
If work. and shows how to turn the
dgiiy tasks into acts OF worship. Thus
nan may reach perfection OF life
through work and work alone.
Bhakd Vega is the name given the
second division. 1t is for such as are
Of an emotional nature. 1t teaches how
ordinary emotions may bring forth a
spiritual embodiment OF the highest
kind and lead 10 the ultimate ideal o.
all religions.
1t explains the nature Of divine love
The third division IS Raja Yoga. which
has to do with the whole realm OF
pyschic phenomena. BY its psychic pow
ers are developed such as have astonish-
ed the world since the beginning OF his
tory. and which have been termed mir
acles by the uninitlated. This division in
eludes the evolving OF the fire percep-
tions, the projection ont OF the body OF
the power of life. the curing Of disease
and all the physical powers displayed
by Jesus, and are in use by the Chris
tian Scientists today. These phenomena
nave been known and understood by the
yogis of India since ancient times.
While Raja YOga teaches all these
physic powers it does not fail to warn
its students that they are not the true
end OF wisdom nor a sign OF spirituality.
Little brains and weak intellects cas-
ily turn away from the path of spiritual
truth when some psychic power begins
to manifest itself" said Mr.. Dulin.
They think they have reached the
highest state of spirituality because they
have the power of curing a headache"
Jana YOga is the fourth division or
method. IL Is for the intellectual ds-
criminatfVe and DhilOsODhical man

ticing yoga daily should be in a state
