Soft Silks,

SILK will be very much worn now
Not the kind of taffeta we used to
wear. Nobody wants to rustic now:
we do not want to look starched or
to shine; We must look as wilted and
clinging as possible. As the de-
mand for silk Is greater the weave will
be improved. We find rich, heavy
liberty satins and dull silks in the
shops like those that were worn in
our grandmother's days. Silk costs
more now than 1t did. but It wears bet
ter. 1t is now a material for the
street as well as for church and other
occasions for simple dressing.

their requests have been granted. Ten

IN MIXTURE OF TWO coLoRs.
Clever idea That Is Made Use Of for
the New Trimmings.

One OF the new trimmings is the
use Of black cloth cut in wide bold
designs applied 10 colored cloth.
This Is quite effective for street
suits and also for soft finished indoor
gowns
Broatcloth is used for the embToid-
cry. A pattern is first cut from pa.
per. basted On cloth and then cut out
with sharp. small. well-pointed scis-
sors
There Is no hem The cloth is ap-
piled with a raw edge but as this is
done now with bands and folds and
revers. it does not look Inconsistent
with neatness
The sewing Of this embroidery to
the foundation cloth IS work of ART
and no matter how well 1t is done. a
hot iron is needed for the finishing
touch
Certain dvessmakers paste on this
embroidery. They find the EJECT
smoother and the work less trouble.
This kind OF trimming has been par
ticulariy we'll carried out on a gown
OF white meteor crepe in which the
cut-out embroidery is of pale violet
cloth. This is used to stimulate a
tunic on skirt and for bands across
and around bodice

lonely The power TO hear what
natures voices have TO say is in our
hearts. not merely In the ear. We
must have the beauty In our souls be-
fore we can see beauty anywhere.
Hence there are many who are really
blind to the loneliness which God has
strewn everywhere. with most lavish
hand. in his works. So we must have
the music in our heart before we can
hear the music which sings every
where for him who has ears to hear.
II We have thanksgiving within us. We
will have no trouble In finding glad.
ness wherever we go. II Is n sad and
cheerless heart that makes the world
seem dreary to certain people: II only
they will let JOY enter to dwell within,
n new world would be created for
them II We allow our heart to cher.

thoughts or feelings. we cannot hear
the music of love which breathes
everywhere. pouring out from the
heart of God. But II we keep our
heart gentle, patient. lowly. and kind,
on our ears will fall. wherever we go,
sweet strains of divine music.
Then glad life makes life OF
gladness wherever 1t goes. 1t leaves
an unbrolIen lane of sunbeams behind
II. Everybody is better as well as hap
pier for meeting one whose Christian
life radiates gladness and cheer We
can do nothing better either for our
selves or for the world in which we
live than to learn the lesson of praise
and of Thanksgiving. Let us learn to
sing unto the Lord with thanksgiv-
ing. There are troubles in every
life, but there are thousand good
things for one trial. Sometimes we
have disappointments but even these
are really Gods appointments, as
some day we shall find out. II people
are unkind to us, we must go on low
ing just as before, our hearts full of
uncomfortable kindness, and it will
finally win. The most deepseated ten
dency to sadness can be overcome and
replaced by happy cheerfulness. The
gospel of Christ comes to us and tells
us that we must be born again. born
from above, born of God, and our very
nature will be recreated. Then d.
vine grace assures us that 1t Is not
impossible even for the most upholy
life to be transformed into holiness.
