SEPARATE SKIRT A NECESSITY
Many Materiaic From Which to
Choose, but Garment Must Be in
Ones Wardrobe.

II you would profit by the example
of French tailors, you will order sep
arate skirts of one of the following
materials:
First, double-faced cloth that has
leaped into important place is being
used. 1t practically trims itself, and
will be very popular for this econom-
ical reason.
Then there are cheviots and serges
for lightweight models, and all colors
are in vogue, the neutral shades and
dark blue leading.
Heavy fancy suitings are very popu-
lar. The English tweeds and mixed
suitings are having a tremendous
favoritism shown them by the leading
houses.
Tailored skirts are not so straight in
outline, many showing slashed effects
at the side, and all are made walking
length.
Some have a slightly raised waist
band, SO that no belt is needed, while
others show normal line, with a
stitched band attached to the skirt
On others, a back panel is attached
with modified front edge that ex-
tends toward the front, thus forming a
belt or girdle.

~ EW models from Paris in mourn
HAH ing millinery show a degree OF
AN style and smartness which is
hard to achieve in any apparel
having less individuality than this
special class. A turban and a hat,
both designed for a widow, are pic
,tured here. They are wonderful eX-
amples OF this class OF millinery.
The turban, which might more con-
sistently be called a turban-bonnet, is
as simple in outline as possible and
covered with English Grape drawn
smoothly over the crown. It's distinc-
tion lies in the graceful draping and
great length of the beautiful veil. A
width Of Grape, two yards long, is fin
ished with hem set on at the bot
tom a quarter of yard deep. The
other end is wound about the turban
frame. exactly in the fashion of an
Oriental turban. The Grape veil thus
provides drapery for the turban, a
scarf about the shoulders and the reg
ulation widows veil, all in one. A
Nruche is not worn with this Grape tur-

Tnompson,s oesIan, the Basis Of Presen. seal

terested in the following sketch or tns
career of the man who solved the
problem of providing seal for the
Government of the United States:
Charles Thomson was born at Ma
ghera, Ireland, November 90, 1929, and
came to America with his three elder
brothers in 1741. They landed at
New Castle, Delaware, with no other
dependence than their industry.
Thomson was educated by Doctor Al
lison, the tutor of several of the
signers of the Declaration of indie
pendence. He had a great passion
for reading and when yet a young
man he had cleaned sufficient knowl-
edge to be counted among the "literi.
He was afterwards a teacher in the
Friends academy, at New Castle, Del
aware. From thence he went to
Philadelphia. where he became ac-
quainted with and obtained advice
from Benjamin Franklin; he soon be-
came the intimate friend OF the
learned Philadelphia" and their
friendship seemed to increase daily.
In 1872 he served as negotiator with
the Iroquois and Delaware Indians,
and his good, conscientious work
among the natives brought for him
the worthy nickname, "Truthteller,"
by which name the Indians always
after called him. He was man of rare
abilities and had the peculiar requi-
sites to make and keep friends where
ever he happened to wander He was
called to the responsible duty of keep
ing minutes of the proceedings of the
first Continental Congress in 1774, and
from that time until he resigned his
Office in 17S9-then fifty-nine years old
he was the secretary of that digni-
fed and important body.
John Adams called him the Sam
Adams of Philadelphia, the life of the
cause of liberty" This certainly was
compliment, coming as it did from
tried and honest patriot. Thomson, 1t
Is true. made most diligent secre-
tary, and in that position he had the
rare pleasure of taking notes of all
the important congressional actions
For the first years work he received
no pay. He served as permanent sec
rotary during the eventfui fifteen
years that followed. His seal was &C,
cepted officially on June 20. 1882.

MATCH THE HAIR AND EYES
Appropriate Touch Of Color in the Toll
Iette Adds Immensely to the
Appearance.

To be becomingly dressed is the de.
sire of every woman worthy of the
name, and here I would say one is
greatly helped towards this end IL in
ones toilette a touch of color to
match the hair and eyes is introduced.
1t accentuates ones points" For ex-
ample, an ideal dance frock for lark
haired girl would be pale green shot
with mauve crepe de sole. This en-
phasizes the black hair and brown
eyes of the wearer.
To the woman with brown hair
which has golden lights one COM
mends the new color, which is of
greenish gold. And as hair of this
color is frequently accompanied by
gray eyes, which almost invariably
have yellowish halo around the iris,
this is the color for her.-Chicago In

| the national banner was taken until
June IA, 1777 But Jefferson was so
impressed with the idea of recognize
ing the countries from whence Amer
lea was peopled, and to show definite
ly admiration for their patriotism in
the fight for liberty, that he placed be-
low the Du Simitier idea the motto.

Many (People), one (people);" or
From Many Nationalities, one ma
ton" or From England, Scotland,
Ireland, France, Germany, and the
Netherlands-the United States" The
motto does not mean From many
Colonies, one nation" as the basic
definition is clearly indicated in the
device and in Jeffersons description.
Still, Congress was hard to please,
and the report of the distinguished
committee was set aside and a new
committee assigned to the task.
Though Jefferson continued deeply in
terested in the matter and submitted
several other devices, no less than
twenty designs were under discussion.

bored with the seal problem
Then in 1882 a committee called to
their aid a certain Mr.. William Bar
ton. patriot, soldier and heraldic ex-
pert, and he designed a seal which
again incorporated the emblems in
token of the Irish allies of the Re
public. His design was elaborate and
practically became the basis or our
present seal. In the shield the Stars
and Stripes appear and the eagle and
eye of Providence. But the special
consideration of the Irish is found IN
the two figures supporting the pro-
posed design. The harp and the aeur-
de-lys relate to the assistance rem
dered by Ireland and France, and ara
blazoned on green banner How
ever, this committees report Jared no
better than its predecessors, and
finally the entire question of evolving
an appropriate seal was placed in the
hands of the secretary of the Cont
mental Congress-the Irishman.
Charles Thomson. He, with the aid
of William Barton, gave to the world
our present emblematic signature.

Irish ancestry in particular, will be i'm

ban, but is in evidence in toques and
bonnets when there is a preference
for it.
The beautiful sailor shape with
square crown and rolling brim, is Gov.
cred with a unfinished black silk.
A band of Grape as wide as the crown
is laid smoothly about it. A broad
Grape bow is poised across the front
with crape-coyered buckle at its
center.
The long Grape veil laid in double
box plat and sewed to the under
brim, close to the head, is purely
decorative feature, although it may be
worn about the neck in a scarf-like
manner. This fashion of wearing the
drape like a throw about the neck
may bring about frightening of the
veil. 1t is very graceful fashion.
Since Grape is manufactured so that
it is waterproof, it is as useful, in
deed, more useful, than fabrics not SO
protected, and may be used more free
ly than ever before.

pilation of Huguenot named Du
Simitier, be reported to Congress on
August 10, it's The design in ques-
ton was quite elaborate and indicated
fundamental knowledge of the laws
Of heraldry, besides containing primal
symbolic language, ard one impor-
tant element which appealed strongly
to the Irish pride of race. The pro-
posed shield carried an emblem to
represent the six great nationalities
taking part in the war for independ-
ence. or those who populated the col
onies and were earnest in the fight
for American freedom. Thus, for Eng
land appeared a rose. for Scotland a
thistle. for Ireland harp, for France
a huer-de-lys, for Germany a black
eagle. and for the Netherlands lion.
Du Simitier, who was the heraldic art
ist, placed ireland third in this i'm

shield for the Union, and 1t is inter
esting to note the reasons set forth
for this recognition of the patriotism
Of the colonial inhabitants who came
here from Ireland:
The third Quartering, green, with q

French allies, they merit the highest
commentator for their aid to the
cause of freedom; and only because
the former people hailed from an al
ready established government are
their claims granted precedence.
Irish historic emblems, both In device
and tincture, are woven unalterably
into the fabric of the evolution of
American history. Here, for the
first time, are set forth items OF
great heraldic Importance, giving the
proper credit to Erin's emblems, as
they have formed an equation in the
development of the present govern
mental devices of heraldic or sym
hOlic meaning
1t Is generally supposed that the
only important matter which engaged
the attention OF the first Continental
Congress, on the fourth day of July,
was the adoption of the Declaration OF
Independence; but the records show
that no less essential national problem

Jesus, as was his custom, had been
worshiping in the synagogue, and
while there he had performed a great
work of healing insomuch that his
fame spread throughout the Galilean
country; and forthwith as they enter
Peters house there is presented an
other difficult case, Simon Peters
wife's mother being sick of a great
fever" 1t is a noticeable fact in the
life of Jesus that he had his own par
ticular intimate circle of friends with
whom he. loved to hold fellowship,
the home in Bethany, and this home
belonging to Simon Peter, are illus
trations.
Why does God permit sickness and
sorrow to come to those who are
manifestly his most intimate friends?
To those who love him most?
Surely all suffering is not caused by
sin directly, for many innocent ones
suffer for the sins of the guilty; much
is allowed ito manifest Gods glory;
some suffering is to test our faith, re-
filming us as by fire; and some must
be left to Gods inscrutable wisdom,

some things without explaining his
