The days of st. Paul. with which Dr.
Cobern is especially concerned, were
days, he said, of learning, Of artistic

facts, he stated. had been verified by
discoveries made within the last twen-
ty- five years. DR.. Cobern is an arche-
ologist. He holds the chair of Biblical
Archaeology at Allegheny University,
Meadsville. Pa He has accompanied
several expeditions which excavated
among the ruins Of Rome, Greece and
the Holy Land. He has kept in closest
touch with all discoveries tending to
shed any light on scriptural records.
He continued:
I bring to you this afternoon the
message that science, which only

history, today has done more than
all theological arguments to verify
scriptural records.

If anv man tries to shake the au-
thenticity of the New Testament
you may say that you have talked
with the man who has gone over
thirty-four copies Of the New Testa-
ment that existed between the third
and the sixth centuries and they CO.
incide in every essential with the
New Testament we possess today.
Sir Kenyon. Of the British museum,
has gone through thirty-two addi-
tional copies, making sixty-siX
portions OF original New Testament
documents that are recognized as
authentic.
1t is a thrilling task. this busi-
ness of digging below the strata of
present civilization and finding. for
example, that movable type was
used a century before the time OF
Moses. And I read one papyrus, of
the same early date which stated
that the moon is illuminated by the

Cobern read from facsimilies Of num-

part about this new light shed on New
Testament history Is that until Is
years ago no scholar had seen any doc
umnnt written In the language Of the
New Testament. Since these have come
to light In such large numbers. DR..
Cobern said scholars have abandoned
their contention that st. T'aul did not
write the epistles attributed to him.
He quoted from one letter. dated A.

reason for Paul's injunctions of hos
pitality.
Paul, he described as small man,
with a large nose. bald-headed and
bow-legged.' These facts, he stated,
instead of detracting from Paurs dig
nifty. made him more human and more

accounted for his oratorical powers,

One of the most interesting develop.
mentS OF the basque idea is to be found
IN the blouse that is finished over the skirt
in place OF under 1t, and here is an excel
lent example. As shown in the picture,
1t is made from one of the new silks of
the seson, in what are known as Roman
stripes, with the vestee, collar and cuffs of
white silk poplin, but the model is one that
can be made with skirt to match to form
costume and utilized for the separate
blouse with equal success. Stripes are
conspicuous among the new materials,
but there are also a great many plain
silks which would be adapted to such use.
Charmeuse and liberty satins are to have
great vogue, and the new taffeta is de-
llghttully soft and fine. Crepes are lovely,
both the all silk and the silk and wool, and
1t liked, the blouse itself can be made of
one material with the trimming of another,
such as striped silk over plain, velvet over
tatteta, or satin over crepe. Silk poplin is
much liked for vestees but washable ma
terials such as pique and organdie are
also used. Clever women finish these
accessories separately and attach them
with snap fastenings so that they can be
easily renewed.
For the medium size will be needed

Why Are Men the Least Faithful?

and who have not an interest, an
aspiration or an idea that does not
focus on him. There are no such
men. Even the most devoted husband
must think about his business and his
ambitions.
Mems Eyes Free to Roam
He dare not bore other men talking
about his wife as she bores other
women talking about her husband. He
has amusements and interests in which
she has no part. All the circum-
stances of life tend to concentrate a
woman's gaze on her husband, while
his eyes are left free to roam.
To begin with, then, men are less
faithful to their wives than their wives
are to them because they are less
capable of q supreme devotion; and
also, to be perfectly truthful, because
they are more subjected to temptation.
The second reason why men who
really love their wives are still ever
ready to follow any f1uttering petit
coat. however great the risk, is, as
William Dean Howelis once aptly said,
Because. after six thousand years of
civilization. men are still imperfectly
homogeneous"
No woman is unfaithful to her hus-
band as long as she has one particle of
for him in her heart. When
she breaks her marriage vow there is
treachery in her soul against her hus-
band; but a man may be faithless in
the flesh to his wife, and yet hold her
in his heart as in a shrine, and be
every nerve and muscle to
her with every luxury ana
keep her safe and sheltered from the
of life.
In way. women do sense this
dimly. That is why they forgive so
often when their husbands stray off
of the straight and narrow path, and
why they shut their eyes to so many
things that they do not want to see.
AS long as man is kind and tender
to his wife and agreeable at home, his
wife recognizes that he is true to her
In spirit, however his feet may wander,
and she seldom feels called upon to

Convention Controls Woman
The third reason why men are less
lalthful to their wives than their wives
are to them may be found in the sim
pie fact that wives condone their hus-

not condone their wives. Men have

What is the remedy for this? AL
mighty wisdom alone knows. The
growing number of self-supporting
women is going to help some, because
the woman who does not need to

What is the why of this difference
between the sexes"
1 think that there are three an
Bwers to this question.
The first is sentimental.
No man ever loves woman with
the complete and absorbing passion
with which woman loves a man. No
woman ever takes possession of the
heart and soul and imagination of a
man as man often does of a woman.
No wife is ever literally all the world
