0NE of the most elaborate of the
~ many developments Of the cape is
pictured here. 1t is a two-piece gar
ment in which very full, long cape
is set on to a surplice. 1t is the most
ample and enveloping of all the capes
which the season has brought out.
The material used is a soft, heavy
black satin, with lining Of white
satin. lighter In weight but equally as
soft.
The surplice portion of this garment
crosses below the bust line in the
front and hooks In the back. The ma
tertal is turned back, In the form of
revers, and provided with ripple col
lar across the back of the neck. The
lower or cape portion of the garment
is set on to the surplice by means Of
a piping. In order to provide for the
ample fullness which ripples about
the bottom the cape is cut In circular
form. It Is IL inches longer in the
back than in the front. The fronts
are rounded off and sloped gradually
to the longest point at the middle of
the back.
Made In this way the lining Is al
ways in evidence and may be featured
so that 1t becomes the most conspicu-

VYYITH the disappearance Of the nor
w NAL waist line girdles have be-
come wider and still wider, They wrap
the figure in many cases from below
the bust to the thigh, making
straight line instead Of curved line
at the front and back Less extreme
and more popular are those from nine
to twelve inches wide, which are ad-
justed loosely about the waist.
Two girdles Of this kind, which
merit attention because they show
new features in their construction. are
shown here. One of them Is made OF
MORE ribbon not more than three
inches wide. It is In golden-brown
color shading from light to dark.
Lengths of this MORE ribbon are
sewed together by hand in the very
tiniest of seams. In this way ribbon
too narrow for the present styles can
be used to make wide girdles.
Using the same idea, silk ribbons of
other kinds are widened by machine
stitching them to velvet ribbons. A
very attractive girdle Is made by
black velvet ribbon on both edges of
colored satin ribbon or one Of brocade-

Gus part Of the garment. Instead of
the plain, white satin there are rich
and brilliant brocades, or broad and
pronounced stripes, or great variety
of plaids of all descriptions from
which a choice of Innings may be
made. For general utility the white
lining will serve best.
There is plenty Of room in this cape
to draw 1t up over the arms II one
wishes the hands free, and even SC
the fronts will hang fairly straight
and the cape have the appearance OF
loose garment with flowing sleeves.
Few capes this season are capes pure
and simple, but of cape-like garments
there are many. This model may be
recommended for anyone who aspires
to the really magnificent black velvet
or velvet In colors for evening wear.
The style Is suited to rich fabrics and
dress occasions, and 1t Is unsuited to
ordinary cloths or to bulky wooden
fabrics.
One may not hope to find anything
more graceful than the cape, for eve
ming wear, and the individual wearer
can improvise her own special style
in managing the cape and thereby
achieve distinction.

Lengths of silk may be bordered in
the same way. BY this means short
lengths of ribbon or silk which one
may have on hand are easily trans
formed into girdles. 1t seems the
smart woman can hardly own too
many Of these elegant accessories.
The striped girdle shown in the pic
ture is made of satin ribbon striped
with velvet. 1t will be noticed that
no bows and loops are used in these
particular styles, although there are
plenty of them to be found. These
girdles are decorated with covered but
tons or buckles made of the ribbon
and are fastened with snap fasteners.
Almost without exception the fash
ionable girdles are boned to hold them
In place. Even when long sash Is
wrapped about the waist and tied In
the back the girdle portion is boned
at the front and sides.

sword, but by the cross. They con-
quered not by force but by persuasion;
not by shedding the blood Of others
but by shedding their own blood; not
by enslaving the bodies of men, but by
rescuing their souls from the yoke Of
ignorance and sin. And the fruit Of
their victories remains unto this day.
The apostles were few in number.
They were without wealth or position.
without high mental endowments or
acquired learning, without the prestige
of fame, of obscure origin. and Of
neither social nor political conse-
quence. They belonged to a race hated
and despised by both Greeks and Ro-
mans. They were, in fine, men quite
without those qualifications which are
commonly thought to be essential to
success In any great enterprise.
Well indeed could st. Paul exclaim:
"The foolish things of the world hath
God chosen to confound the wise; and
the weak things of the world hath God
chosen to confound the strong; and
the base things of the world, and the
things which are despised hath God
chosen, and the things that are not,
that He might bring to naught those
things which are; that no flesh may
glory in his sight"
If the gospel had been propagated by
the power of Tiberius Caesar and the
governors of the Roman provinces, the
world could reasonably say: There

was established not by the finger Of
God, but by the might and majesty Of
kings"
Or II armies had been sent to force
the new religion upon the world men
could say with truth: There is no
propagated. not by the sword Of the
Spirit, but by the arm Of the flesh"
Or If the orators, statesmen and
philosophers, the historians and poets
had united with voice and pen to cham
pion the cause of the infant church,
the world could say that there was
nothing supernatural in all that; that
the gospel was recommended not by
the folly of the cross, but by the per
suasive words of human wisdom"
But when to the personal insignifi-
canoe Of the apostles and the austerity
Of their doctrine is added the violent
opposition which they met at every
step from the Jewish and the Gentle
world, we are lost In wonder and ad-
miration at the success OF their mis-
sion.
Upwards of fourteen hundred years
ago st. Augustine proposed to the cavil-
lers of his time an argument which
has greater cogency now than it had
even then. Either, he says, the Chris
tian religion was propagated by
miracles or without them. If the for

ILL
When I was a boy think perhaps
the common definition for miracle
was that II was a suspension or a
violation of the laws of nature. In
our time more careful thinking has
resulted in a modification of definition
which I think has been a help to
faith. Law in the physical universe
is simply description of uniform
action. The law Of gravitation tells
how bodies affect one another as re-
CARDS pull. The law of falling bodies
tells how far falling bodies travel un-
der certain circumstances In given
periods of time. The law of cohesion
tells how firmly the PARTICLES of any
given substance adhere to one anoth-
err, etc.
SO far as we have knowledge, these
laws cannot be violated or suspended.
They are permanent factors in the
universe of God. They are the mani
festations of forces which are abso-
lutely hidden. We see results, we do
not see causes. and the law simply
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1914-10-16

tells how these secret. hidden forces
act.
While. however, laws are never sus-
pended or violated, 1t Is one OF the
commonplaces of human experience
that one force overbalances another
force, so that what would take place
because of one force does not take
place because another force Is In
action.
For example: The law OF inertia
Is that all material being naturally
remains in that state of rest or mo-
ton In which 1t Is. The waters OF
the sea, under the operation or THIS
force, which tends to keep bodies as
they are, would remain In the sea-
When, however. the force that we call
heat Is applied to the sea, vast vol
umes of water are lifted high In the
air. Every day millions upon millions
Of tons of water are thus raised TO
the skies.
The book which lies before you on
the table will naturally continue to-
lie there, but If you take the book in
your hand the force which we call
muscular energy, directed by another
force, unseen, intangible, that we call
the human will, may lift the book,
open the book. The law of gravitation
Is not contradicted, 1t is not suspend
ed; 1t Is overcome for the time by
the law OF muscular energy, just as
the waters Of the sea are lifted into
the air by the power which we call
heat
There Is nothing new in these state
ments. They are obvious to any think
Ing person, but IL persons do not think
they will not have these facts in mind.
Let us then reflect that miracle 10
not suspension Of natural law nor
above all violation Of natural law;
1t Is the overcoming of one force or
set Of forces by another force which
is greater.
Take. for example, the resurrection
OF the dead. If such an event has
ever taken place or shall ever take
place, 1t will not be the suspension
Of force or the violation of force. but
the overcoming of the forces which
tend to disintegration by another
force which, equally hidden, is more
powerful and gives us life instead of
decay.

The New Agriculture.

The term new agriculture" applies
to the farming methods that have been
made possible within the past twenty
years or so by the advance of science.
DRY farming" the 'inoculation" of
soils, the amazing results of irriga-
ton and of experimentation at the state
and government agricultural stations;
intensive" farming, deep blowing. seed
selection, crop rotation and the appli-
cation Of heterogeneous elements have
completely revolutionized the farmers

dreamed of few decades ago.

RUSSIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER

Serge Sazonoff, tho minister for
foreign affairs, has been four years in
his present Office. The United States
remembers that it was to him as the
representative of the car that the
American ambassador to Russia, Cur
It's Guild, delivered the formal declara-
ton from President Taft December IS,
1911, that the treaty Of 1882 between
the United States and Russia would
be abrogated by the United states on
January 1, 1913, as a protest against
the passport regulations In Russia
against American Jews. Sazonoff Is
believed to be friendly to a settle
ment Of the question according to the
desires of Washington, but his in
fluence is not sufficiently strong with
the Russian bureaucracy to accom-
plish 1t.
He is a brother-in-law Of Russia's
former prime minister, Stolypin,
despotic servant of the imperial des-
pot, who came to his end by assassina-
ton. Sazonoff Is not man of the
ste and his political creed is in reality
