Maj. Henry Fonde. general agent

was well known in Johnson City and
was one of the most popular officials
of the road who ever visited this city.
He had great faith in the future Of
Johnson City and evidenced it by
building here within the last two years
one Of the largest and most modern
freight depots and switching yards
along the system, and also constructed
a splendid passenger station, all Of
which Johnson City is duly proud. He

New York, Dec; 1.-The STYLES ol
twenty years ago seem ii hold strong
place in the minds of the people this
year, the one-piece frock and the sep
arate, so-called "top-coat" being parti-
cular offspring of the clothes of that
day
A practical innovation is this mode
twenty years ago EN- to hold a strong
of the suit in many cases. The dress
may be dressy enough to wear to
many things where a suit would be
out of the place and the top-coat, if
care is taken in its selection, may be
worn for evening as well as daytime.
The coat of the season is cut in a
variety of ways, each of which has
some particular style feature to make
it practical or smart. One is cut much
like the last winters raglan coat,
merely belted a little closer to the fig
ure so that the curve of the waist may
be more in evidence. On this same
coat may have tiny round yoke with
a collar and the full goblet ripples
pressed into pleats, which open out
at every movement of the figure
Another type of coat is that which
is semi-tight fitting at the shoulders
and flares widely at the bottom, in the
shape of Cossack coat Another is
of the Russian peasant style,
at the side and belted with
wide belt. Around the bottom of the
skirt portion is wide band of fur, also
at wrists and around the neck. The
heavy richness of this trimming is
most effective.
Another coat is cut with the upper
portion like sacque, having straight
lines under the arms and dropping
down considerable in the back. A FLAIR
ing tunic is attached to this lower
edge, cut in corcular piece SO that
stands away from the figure almost, as
though it were either heavily corded
)r wired. Rows of soutache trim the
front and around the hips and the

LOVE AND WAR

Love not dreadnoughts and siege
guns, is to bring peace to warning Eu-
pew. ], Bryan, speaking in Chi
cago, Sunday, Nov. 80.
One reason why christianity falls
short of the aspiration of its yotaries
is that so often its preachers lay down
as fixed Christian truths statements
that physical present facts and histor-
ical facts show to be absurd
The savior of man preached the
doctrine of love when He was being
crucified. Peter and Paul, under the
inspiration of personal contract with
Jesus, preached love, and they were
crucified.
After few hundred years the doc
trines of Christianity which were
practiced by the lowfy permeated the
army and gripped the mind of the en-
peror. Then Christianity became mill
liant
Under the cross the Christians
fought for centuries against the bar
barians who came down from the roof
of the world and sought homes in the
warm places.
A series of wars, the greatest the
world ever saw until the present cata-
clysm, flourished under the inspira-
ton of militant Christianity. After
the Christians drove back the heath
ems and broke the power of the Mo-
hammedans they fell upon one anoth-
err.
The Hundred Years War was a con-
test of religious systems
In this twentieth century the spirit
of love was not in the hearts Of men
before they began the contest, The
spirit of love could not withhold over
night the car and kaiser from tho
business of unleashing their dogs and
Numbering their machines of war.
This is a war of hote.
The French Revolution had an OBJ
ject. 1t was a bloody struggle, but in
the blindness Of the hatred of the con-
testants there was lofty ideal they
were seeking to reach.
Our war of Revolution had dis
tinct and well-defined purpose. IN no
other war was ever so strong brief
issued in its behalf as was our De-
claration of Independence.
Prussia's struggle against Napoleon
in 1918, 1914 and 1916 had for its
glorious ideal the national life and

hem. Large buttons are used down
the front. The skirt is very plain and
rather narrow
The kimona sleeve has had its day
and most of the sleeves of the coat are
into regulation armhole, which is
often outlined with a cording or pip
ing.
The frocks which are made with
kfmona sleeves are easily brought up
to the latest rulings by putting velvet
sleeves in the cloth bodice, black lace
sleeves into faille or velvet frock.
Taffeta sleeves are used in serge

In the illustration is a gown worthy
of note. Hush, let me whisper in your

in new fabrics and particularly help
