n.Jst charming scarfs of the late summer are of thin material bordered with ribbon, plain or lowered, and others again are finished with a series of ribbon bands of graduated width, while very lovely effects are obtained by combining ribbon with chiffon and silk muslin. Powered muslin is especially pretty for this purpose and a very lovely scarf, just completed for Newport belle, is made of bands of pink and white mousseline which are joined by means of one of the new faille ribbons, on which is a design of tiny pink roses. quaint little bags, or reticules, are being carried with great many summer toiettes and the ribbons of antique designs and those showing quaint, lowered effects are greatly liked for this purpose. Never were ribbons loveliel and never was there greater opportunity for putting them to various uses. Women who are spending quiet mornings on the piazza will be glad to remember that ribbon trimmed scarfs ard bags will be pretty for the theatre during the coming winter.

Already the dealers here are showing skirts finely plaited in this way and 1t is quite evident that the idea is liked. A handsome suit of the kind is made of black etamine, the skirt attached to deep yoke and the short, rather fancy, jacket relieved by big buttons of white crystal. Crystal has been much used throughout the summer and continues smart, but whispers from the Powers That-Be" assert that handsome bone buttons are rapidly superseding the lighter ones and that they will be ex- tensively used on the simpler costumes of autumn.
 All sorts of fascinating little coats are being used in combination with lingerie gowns and, indeed, with skirts of heavier material. Silk coats are much worn with skirts Of voiie, creponne and the like and very practical feature is found in the wearing of little waistcoats beneath n place of blouse. The combination means

FORECASTS OF FALL FASHIONS

IT will be some weeks before we can ' talk with any sense of certainty of fall fashions, but the late summer is seeing some interesting developments that un- questionably are forerunners of the coming season. In general way, we retain the straight, narrow lines but a great many costumes are being made with the skirts that are finely plaited by machine and worn with coats of the same or of con- trasting material The very latest cry from watering places from across the sea IS for skirts of fine white serge made in this way with coat of blue ratine and a hat
 of soft, white felt for wear during the
 morning hours. Such costume is smart

The petticoat can be finished at the lower edge with hem or scallops, for 1t IS straight and consequently can be treated in different ways.

Du Points Record Year

Substantial gains in both gross and net
earnings were shown in the annual report
of the E. |. dupont de Nemours Powder
Company for the year ended December
81, 1911. The surplus after all charges
was $1,5ll, 729, compared with 81 1888, III
in 1910.
The president in his remarks states
that 1911, though not II OF generally
active business throughout the United
States, drought to this company the
greatest year in its history, both in gross
sales and net profits. On account OF the
extremely slow growth in general bust
ness during the past four years, the COM
pany has not needed for tile extension of
business funds in addition to those al
ready provided through sales Of securities
aud investment of surplus earnings. This
condition cannot last indefinitely and it
seems reasonable to expect a further offer
ing of e stock, though probably not
within the next twelve months"

IMPORTANT CHURCH QUESTIONS.
M. +. Conference Meets at Asbury
Park, March II

With the qnadreinial General Confer
eiice OF the Methodist Episcopal Church,
scheduled to meet in Minneapolis next
May, several questions Of vital import
ance to the church will he discussed at
the annual session of the New jersey
Conference, which will be held in the
First Church, at Asbury Park, Tuesday
evening, March 18th, next. Some OF these
propositions which will be debated will
be the restoration of the time limit to the
passionate, the modification Of the office
OF District Superintendent, the advlss-
bil'ty OF districtins the Bishops and the
amusement question. These questions
Will be all taken up in anticipation of
the meeting of the General Conference.
the legislative body of the church, in
order that instructions may he given to
the delegates OF the Church Conference.
The conference will be presided over by
Bishop Joseph F.. Berry, of Buffalo.
The most important day OF the confer
ence will be Friday, March 10Th, when
the ten delegates will be elected to the
! General Conference. The delegation
will be made up oil tive clergymen,
chosen by the conference and five la, men
to be elected by a lay electoral confer
ence. This lay conference will be COM
posed OF lay delegates chosen by the
laity OF each church at special elections
held for the purpose. Some of these
local elections have already been held.
The lay election will be held in the First
Presbyterian Church at Asbury Park.
Their is a variance OF opinion as to
what the limit shOald be to the minis
ters' time Of services in one charge, but
it is believed that some limit will be
favored by this conference. There is
also a variance OF opinion throughout the
general church and it is problematical as
to what the General Conference will do
with the question. The time limit TO the
pastorate WAS abolished by the General
Conference in 1900. Up to about 1890
there was d time limit of three years and
oo NC piihC IL Nds ilCItdStu VI I'VE years,
which remained in effect until removed
in 1900. Now some in the New jersey
Conference want a three year limit, some
four and others five, but it is believed the
majority will favor the restoration OF some
limit.
The proposition with regard to modify
ing the office of District Superintendent,
is to increase the number of Bishops and
at the same time decrease tile number OF
District superintendent. The Bishops
at present. may act in any part of the
country to which they may he assigned,
and it is proposed to restrict them to GER
tain districts. There was considerable
opposition in tile New Jersey Conference
to the change OF name from Presiding
Elder to District Superintendent, and it
would not he surprising if the question
was brought up at Asbury Park to me-
n,orialize the General Conference to
change the title back to Presiding Elder.
1t is expected the discussion over the
question OF amusements to be permitted
will be Il lively one.
