latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Altogether charming are the n1arqui-
settle robes embroidered in pastel colors
that are TO be had at the shops now for
five or six dollars instead of ten, fifteen
or twenty. which was asked for them
when the season was young. The 'broid-
cry is coarse but not bold, and many of
the robes are charmingly artistic. The
amount of material in the pattern is
always ample. and rarely is any trimming
other than the embroidery required, I'M
course, the silk or velvet of the embroid-
cry color which almost invariably figures
in the girdle.
The model shown i'll the sketch is white
cotton marquisette. a pattern robe, that
cost $5.J1. embroidered in coral. The skirt
is straight and not too scant, hung with
some fullness at the top the border design
forming heading for the five-inch hem.
The round blouse with its cut-in-one
sleeves. it's light droop over the belt at
the, sides and the few tiny tucks laid
alongside the embroidery in front is join
ed to a tunic that stimulates the skirt
of Russian blouse. The tunic is gath
cred across the sides so. that it falls in q
jabot effect below, and the edges are
finished with white ball fringe. The girdle.
with its bow at the center front, is OF
blue velvet, matching one of the shades
Of the embroidery.
Occasionally among the robe bargains
there are some semi-made patterns. and
these generally are to be avoided. tor
they are not apt to fit, and have to be
taken apa.: before anything satisfactory
can be done with them. Circular cut
robes also are delusion. They are rea-
sonabiy certain to be relics of other DAYS,
and unless the embroidery is particularly
hne and entlcing they should be passed
over. however alluring, from the bar
gain hunters point of view, they may
appear.
The quality of the fabric should be
considered seriously. for not a few of
these pattern robes that are temptinpIy
priced. and that, at a casual glance are
effective, prove. UPON closer scrutiny TO
be coarse: and coarse lingerie materials
lingerie is an expensive term nowadays
are distinctly to be avoided
The robes are made up simply after q
design best suited TO show their embroid

Little Journeys Into
the Fashion Land

Most people are thinking of HOLIDAYS
and arc getting out their bags and suit
cases, these latter being found most USE
fui by the feminine members Of the COM
munity. They are also getting their dress
makers to prepare the necessary outfit
Tor stay by the sea, visit to the coun-
try or mountains.
For trips of this kind Scotch weeds
serges and homespuns are the most suit
able materials but it is necessary to sug-
gest they must be carefully chosen for
their absence of weisht, only the p11rest
woods being light of weight Some of the
newest homespuns of this season are as
light as wolfe. and, in fact. wolfe itself is
frequently used as material for a
travelling suit. II is a question whether
il, with a silk lining, is not heavier than
an unlined tweed.
Holland is in great favor for seaside
visitors, and the most effective way of
trimming II is with revers and collar of
black satin. Sometimes band Of back
satin is added at the edge of the skirt, an
excellent arrangement not only for effect
but for keeping clean that easily sotled
portion of the dress.
Blue serge is as ever the standby Of the
smart woman, and the suits prepared for
her choice in the great drapery shops
show an infinity of varied trimming. One
of these. in addition to black braid and
buttons on both skirt and coat has
bright emerald green tin revers SO wide
and deep that they reach to the waist the
points of tho revcrs coming we'll under
the arms.
Another smart costume is geranium
red serge with border of palest he To-
trope panne round the coat. This sounds
inharmonious, but the tint of heliotrope
is so soft as to be almost gray. There is
a whole revers in this instance. boldly
crossed from the right shoulder to the
left side Of the waist, made Of the hello
trope panne- The costume is otherwise
untrimmed, but the skirt is cleverly cut

Summer Surprises.

As the season draws to a close there is
popularity supposed to be a lull In the at
fairs Of fashion. but this year Dame
Fashion shows no sign as yet OF any
wish to take a holiday. Endless are the
surprises that she has In store for her
faithful votaries.
Once again 1t is the individual note
which lends to the mode Of the moment
an irresistible air of grace and distinction.
and so varied are the styles which pre-
vail that it is impossible to lay down
any hard and fast rules as to what may
or may not he worn. So long the
whole effect Is picturesque and becoming
the details are not considered TO be OF any
great Importance.

A Hint From Abroad.

1t is a good idea to follow the foreign
plan for keeping the house cool. Very
early in the morning every door and WIN
dow should be opened to the widest ex-
tent for two hours and then, when the
sun is hot. 1t should be shut out by clos
ing the doors and also the windows, ex-
cept about three inches at the bottom and
top. Draw all the blinds to meet the lit
tie space left open at the lower sash.
Not only the hot rays of the sun are eX-
GUIDED by this means, but the fresh air
can come in and circulate right through
the house.
One of the best and safest of iced
drinks Is barley water made in the ordi-
nary manner with pearl barley and flavor
ed with lemon juice. Begin by taking
very small sips and gradually increase
the amount swallowed.

Billy Mink was feeling uncomfortable.
Yes, sir. way down deep inside Billy
Mink was feeling uncomfortable. He was
beginning to wish that he had not
boosted SO much the night before. He
had said that he could do anything that
any Of the other little people who wore
fur and lived on the Green Meadows or
in the Green Forest could do. Grand
father Frog had called him a boaster
and had said that he knew some one
who could do something that Billy Mink
could not do. and that if Billy Mink
would be at the Smiling Pool at sun
down that night he would prove it, Billy
there, for you see Little Joe Otter and
Jerry MuSkrat were listening.
Now Billy Mink sat on the Big Rock
in the Smiling Pool kicking his heels.
Il can run fast. swim fast, climb fast.
1 can dive deep. l can jump. l can dig.

can see in the dark thought Billy Mink
The more he thought of all he could do
the better he felt. One by one he thought
of the little meadow and forest people
whom he knew and what each could do
Think as hard as he would. he could
think Of no one who could do anything
which he couldn't do.
There isn't any one," said Billy Mink
right out loud. Just like that. There
isn't any one!'
'Chugarum.'' said Grandfather Frog.
Billy Mink looked over to the big green
lily pad where Grandfather Frog was
sitting. Grandfather Frog was gazing
solemnly up al jolly round Mr. Sun. There
wasn't the teeniest, weeniest bit of
smile about Grandfather Frogs big
mouth, and yet Billy Mink somehow felt
that way down inside Grandfather Frog
was laughing at him.
All at once Billy Mink felt more un-
comfortable than ever, and he didn't feel
q bit better when Grandfather Frog turn

A Forged Chapter i'm tEle Bible,
and Some interpretations Inn
Others.

IKE so many millions of Others [ have
Il read the Bible, in by-gone years, without
any suspicion that it had been tempered with.
Since beginning to study great number of
books to prepare for the Roman Catholic
chapters in Watson's Magazine, it became
more and more apparent that forgery had
played most important part in the building
up of Papalism. In an English work, long
out Of print [ came upon the idea that the
Dist. chapter of the Gospel by John, was for
grey, and that into Matthew and Mark had
been inserted spurious passages.
With the utmost care, | studied the 20 chap
ters of John, and then compared them with
the Dist, and then, with the other Gospels.
The spurious character of the Dist. John was
self-evident. Why was it forged, and why
were Mark and Matthew tempered with?
To give to Peter a Principate which the
real New Testament nowhere gives him. The
forgery was committed after the Roman
church had resolved to claim that Peter was
the first Pope, and that all the others were
his successors.
The Roman priests had in their possession
the few manuscri pit Bibles which had escaped
Moslem and Roman persecution, and it was
easy to add a chapter and a few interpola-
tions without the worlds knowledge of the
fraud.
In the March number of our Magazine,
appears my exposition of the forgery. The
subject is so profoundly and eternally import
ant that | will enlarge upon it somewhat, and
publish it in booklet form.
If any theologian, lay or cleric, can find a
flaw in my argument, [ will be rejoiced to
have it brought to my attention.
