THOUGHTS FOR THE THOUGHT.

Prayer flies where the eagle never

One moment will suffice to place
yourself in Gods presence, to love
and worship him, to offer all you are
doing or bearing, and still all your
hearts emotions at his feet.-Fran-

1t is a great comfort in sorrow to
remember that sorrow is an indica-
ton that God is noticing US. Which
of His children would prefer being
unnoticed, rather than endure the
purifying but painful evidence of His
love and care?
The heart is the key of this world,
and of life. We often live helpless
amid the most dreary circumstances
in this world, that we may love 9th

Through our very imperfections we
are often more capable of Influencing

Some Sample Prohibitive Rates.
Several Senators who are specially
interested in seeing that the cost Of
living, which has so greatly increas-
ed in the last few years shall be ma
terially reduced, are giving special
attention to the high rates on sugar.
They point to the fact that the rates
are SO low on raw sugar that there
IS imported into this country over
twice as much raw sugar as Is raised
by the cane and beet sugar American
producers; that if these rates were
higher that they would really protect
and foster the American production,
but that they are so low that the
sugar trust may be able to buy cheap
raw sugar from abroad.
They also point to the fact that
| the duties on refined sugar which
the people buy and consume, are SO
high that there is practically no re-
fined sugar imported from abroad
but that the trust can buy up the raw

In some new models the waist line is
again normal. The Frenchwoman clings
to the high line for evening, and her
demand for this is answered by the
upper line of high girdle Although
the polonaise draperes are featured, the
long. clinging lines and the variations
of the tunic will not be completely sur
rendered. The fulness of the sleeves APP
pears at the elbow or below. rather than
at the top of the arm. Huge unstiffened
revers and large pockets are concessions
to the liking for Louis XIII styles.
Skirts of street gowns are generally
devoid OF trimming, la Americana.
Designers are relying upon clever intro
auctions of pleating to give decorative
effects. On the bodices much braiding is
used IN rattail and fancy designs.
The emphasis in street costumes Is
laid on the line rather than the trim
ming. This deserves careful study. but
when mastered it can be Incorporated in
many new gowns. A raised line is the
last innovation. 1t appears in the up
ward tendency of tunics, in the line of
trimming on the bodice and in the
underarm seam that curves upward
from the hip to the bust ELOISE.

New Bonnets
Asst season there was much I

r Asst season there was much talk
of the capuchon of Paris, the
- glorified sunbonnet intended for
the woman of fashion to wear when she
attended theater or opera. 1t was said
that the bonnet filled all requirements.
for it did not crush the hair and it
could be removed with no danger OF
wrecking even the most elaborate OF
coiffures. This was all true; but the
very fact that the capuchon is so large
as to neceSsitate its removal has been
the cause of its probable downfall.
Not that it has fallen yet, for it has
not; but the very newest evening hat
is caplike, suggesting the maidens
of Normandy, although it is said to
be made on the pattern of those
worn by certain virgins of the Middle
Ages. In any case, the cap which may
take the fancy of Madame la Mode is
OF finest lace or broderie anglaise,
pleated and tucked to cover the top Of
the head and then bound all round with
a band of velvet. This is the cap as it
has been imported; but later. If it is a
success. we may expect to see it devel-
oped in all shades of soft chiffon and
bound with velvet or metal gauZe to
harmonic with the gown.
Speaking Of bonnets, a most charming
one for motoring was made quite re-
Gently by a girl who can afford few of
life's luxures, yet who has many auto
MODELLING friends. The bonnet in ques-
ton was of a plateau of neapolitan
straw. pleated all round till it was OF
the proper size to fit the head and then
encircled by a band of black velvet tied
in a bow at the left side. That was all,
and. while the result was no more elab-
crate than a housemaid's cap. it was
becoming and entirely Serviceable for
wear when touring.

and then I would suddenly realize that
certainty does not exist at so early
stage of the game, and that there Is no

day OF individual styles they pass
ms out the fashions in twos and threes.
I should know that none of the girls
could do the thing with any degree OF
certainty, because Paris has not yet
tried out the short coat to see If 1t will
succeed.
France is bent on extremes, as usual;
so she is showing the long and the short
of it. The long coat has reached the
hem of the skirt, and the short one
varies, but seems inclined to be of me-
dunn length, as if the makers were
afraid to venture upon the very short
est. Paris herself is said to be wearing
the short coat-she always INDUCES In
new things first-while America. not
vet tired of the long coat, is making
full models of extra length.
Serge is as acceptable as it was
year ago, and one of the new suits. that
on the first figure at the left, is coarse
navy-blue serge. with generously long
coat and a somewhat f1ared plain skirt.
The coat buttons are gray bone. which
sounds queer; but they are not to be
disputed. since a Partisan put them
there. Navy blue is usually one of the
earliest ventures in color, because it is
safe at any time Of the year and the
extra long untrimmed coat of blue may
always be used as a separate garment
with one-piece frocks of different ma
terial. The hat is a dark-blue felt with
pale mauve wings.
Peacock blue still holds its own in
Paris and has been chosen by the Sec

very far down with a large button of

The hat which completes the costume

OUR CORSET STORY
YOUR CORSET OR YOUR LIFE
Told Each Week by One Who Know:

the support 1t should be to the woman
and to her garments
When the corset is abandoned for
no substitute whatever. the union suit
may be called into requisition, and
even combination lingerie added by
the careful woman de she happens
to be willing to halfway solve the
problem for HERSELF; but this type
of woman rarely INDUCES herself
to the extent of such late styles as semi
princess gowns are made OF. and her
well-known unwillingness to be on the
crest of the wave of fashion presup-
poses wearing of skirts with bands.
Without few stays at least to keep the
band from too tightly binding the fig
ure her skirt belt will have to be zoos
ened perceptibly. and as a natural re-
suit there will be a constant slipping
down in the absence of supporting
corset. no matter how slight, TO which
to fasten the skirt. This unnecessarily
loosened waist line implies an outside
belt that is almost falling off; and to
most women of neat personal habit the
slippfng-down feeling is quite uncom-
Portable enough without its consequent
dragging in of the skirt at the feet.
No skirt not securely fastened about
the waist line will have an even fall at
the bottom, and a bedraggled skirt is
the adherence of every woman among
women and of the merest man among
men.
There are rare women so built-of such
solidity OF muscle and structure-as 10
need no corset. And there are corset
substitutes so well designed that the
woman who shrinks before '.137 strapped
seams and a combination of heaviest
coutil with reinforced bones may still
find a fitting support for her skirts and
gentle reminder to '.straighten up in
the most modern of corsets that will
hold the abdomen upward and in and
allow the waist free expansion.
1t is, indeed question of the regen-
Grafton of the race, after all. but with
the improved corset and by the men and
women. and the physicians as well, who
have gone into the subject deeply enough
to be willing to work out the problem
and find the answer in the substitute
corset for those who do not need the
bandage type.
