Attractive Coats,

Among the severe modes are some
most attractive coats in blue serge
with color introduced in the collar.
Bright reds, greens, and even orange
are the color notes most used. One
Of the smartest coats seen this fall is
a Francois model in very wide twill
serge finished with narrow strappings,
pipings and buttons OF black satin. a
cunning little scarf Of satin and a col
lar fac'ng of deep yellow chamois coT-'
pleted the charming wrap. Apropos
Of utility coats there is nothing so
chic as the large check wOolens in
black and white with collars of black
satin or of black combined with a
bright color. Black and white stripes
still retain a certain prestige, though
as a rule they show soil readily and
are not desirable for all figures, while
broken plaids and invisible markings
are becoming TO almost any type.

blue and lavender or pink and blue.
Green and white is an effective com
Jination for these dress accessories.
IRISH lace medallons are introduced on

neshcd border encircling them being
he favOrite design.

Just a practical word about the
long and short of the corset-they
must in a measure be considered as
comparative terms. The corset must
be high or low for the individual wear
er. The corset must not be of incOn-
yenient height under the arms; it must
not be so high in the back as to form

a corset should be fitted to the

domestic duties, put your money into
a top coat and one-piece jumper

If you choose the former, don't get
satin, no matter how black it is, nor
satin broadcloth nor lustrous cash
mere. These are fashionable and love-
ly, but not fit.
There is going TO be a wide distinc-
tion this year between the clothes
worn on the street and those worn in-
doors, and you want to show that
you know 1t by choosing a coat suit
of the toughest weave.
Last year the shops did not offer
these fabrics generously, for it was
smooth season. This year it is a
rough season.
Ask at the counters or at your
taior's for diagonal serge, for cheyron

be offered.
You cant go wrong in choosing any
one of them. If there is a leaning
toward any two fabrics, these two are

The striped broadcloths are also

SERMONETTE.

"a have set thee as watch
man therefore hear the
word at my mouth."-Set as a
watehman, not TO guard treas
ures that perish, but to guard
immortal souls.
Ezekiel had burned into his
heart and conscience the sense
of his responsibility toward 9th
ers, II he warned not when
warning was needed the blood
Of that man was upon his
head. Only as he spoke his
message could he deliver his
soul and place the burden of
responsibility upon the person
warned.
It was not a question as to
whether the warning would be
needed nor as to whether ridi-
cule and opposition and perse.
cution would follow. Just one
responsibility of watching for
souls in peril and warning Of
the danger.
The message TO Ezekiel ap.
pointing him as watchman
is message and commits.
sion to all in this day
who are followers Of the L2rd
Jesus, with this additional re.
sponsibiIity that whereas Eze-
kieI's mission was to israel, The
Christians field of labor is
world wide, for Jesus last com
mand was go ye into all the
world and preach the Gospel to
every creature"
But there Is this additional
quality which should character.
ize the Christian watchman, that
is love. Jesus gave a new in.
terpretaton as to who was a
mans neighbor, and laid down
the commandment that we
should "ove our neighbor as
ourselves" a commandment
which was only second to the
first and great commandment
that we should love God with
all the heart and all the mind
and all the soul.
What have we, or, rather,
what should we have, In the
Christian watchman? First Of
all, one who is conscious Of the
Divine call to high and great
responsibility. ~ have set
thee a watchman." That does
not mean every Christian in
general and no Christian in par.
ticular. Nc, no. It Is an
individual matter and Gods
call comes 10 each Individual
heart. Christian, hear God
speak.
Second. the Christian watch
man should have a broadening
vision OF his field Of labor
worldwide. Not that he is TO
train his guns on everything,
and hit nothing, but that he is
to have the worldwide vision
while he strikes the effective
blows in the place which he has
been assigned in this worldwide
work.
Third, as to the duty. The
Christian watchman should be
instant in season and out Of
season. in speaking the word
and in detecting the threaten
ing perils. II is not a question::
Will they hear or will they not
I hear? II is not for the watch
man to question the attitude of
those to whom he has been sent.
His is to speak the word, with
out modification, without at
tempt on his part to sugar coat
il. He who would do so com.
promises the truth Of God and
: rolls upon himself d burden

I enormity only the judgment day

 The New York Symphony is an out growth of an organization formed many years ago by Dr. Leopold Damrosch father Of the present conductor. and 1t has passed through many vissicitudes in it's struggle-at last successful-for supremacy among the permanent or chestras of the United States. Dr. Damrosch founded the Symphony soci- ety in 1878. and remained its active head until his death in 1885, when his son-then but twenty-three years of age-succeeded him. MT. Walter Dam- rosch carried on the work of his dis tinguished father for ten years, and then turned his activities exclusively to German opera. Last spring the Sym phony society was reorganized by sub scribers 10 the guarantee fund of the New York symphony orchestra to pro- vide a suitable foundation for the first orchestra of it's nature that New York has ever had. The New York Sym nhony orchestra, reorganized and won derfully strengthened, is now engaged by contract to meet every day for at least seven months in the year, de- voting the mornings 10 rehearsals, and the afternoons and evenings to sym phony concerts in New York and other cities. In this way the organization is constantly devoted to the cultivation of symphonic music
