- this new spring gown OF taffeta,
which Is simple enough for the home
dressmaker to undertake and pretty
enough for the most fastidious of
women to enjoy. Tafteta lends itself
to the new, wide skirts, the horizontal
tucks and other quaint features in
the new gowns, borrowed from a
period more than q half century be-
hind US. The days of the crinoline
are recalled by the utterly feminine
and fascinating occurrences Of this
modest gown.
The wide tucks running around the
skirt with fullness Of three to four
yards in the width, combine to make
the flare that Is to be achieved in this
particular style. The fullness iB dis
posed of at the top partly by cutting
and partly by shirrtng or plaits into
which the material is laid. Many Of
the new spring skirts, cut with the re-
ouirements OF the plump figure in

are widened gradually toward the bot
tom. where they ripple at the hem.
Another feature OF spring styles Is
the revival Of the suspender dress.

Success means to the average per.

to the few who understand its sig

1t stands for much patient prepara-
tory work, the foundations of which
are often laid by others but which 1t
is left to US to make use of. We can.
not get very far in this world without
the help of others, and it is this fact
that we SO often lose sight Of wnen
prosperity begins to shine upon US

promise. We like to feel the pride Of
achievement because il seems in some
way to enhance our self-iraportance.

"Reuther. sit UP here close by

little while"
Eyes. mother; oh, yes. mother. -
Deborah felt the beloved head pressed
close to her shoulder and two soft
arms fall about her neck.
Are you very unhappy? Is my
little one pining too much for the old
days?'
A closer pressure Of the head. a
more vehement clasp Of the encircling
arms, but no words.
They we're sitting in the dark, with
just the light of the stars shining
through the upper panes Of the one
unshaded window. Deborah. there
fore, had little to fear from her daugh-
ter's eye. only from the sensitiveness
of her touch and the quickness of her
ear. Alas. in this delicately organized
girl these were both attuned to the
incest discrimination. and before the
mother could speak Reuther had
started up. crying:

Of the murder Of Algernon Etheridge by
John Scoville in Dark Hollow, twelve
years before. The judge and Mrs. SEQ

NOBLE HOUSES OF WORSHIP
Those Of the Second Generation In
America Well Worthy Of Their
High Purpose.

The earliest houses of worship In

long since vanished from the face of

planned to be worthy dwelling places

church buildings, Of the colonial era

Gus, more free Of sectional differentia-

|" III holy Sepulcher at Jerusalem
for the possession Of which
Crusades of the middles ages
were undertaken, will at last
become the property OF Chris
tianity in case the allies win In the
European war. Today the keys of
this. the most venerated sanctuary in
Christsndom, are held by the Turks,
and Moslem sentinels stand outside of
its doors, while the pavement in front
Of its main entrance is occupied at all
hours by beggars and street peddlers,
who assail visitors and passe-s-by.
The sepulcher is contained within
the walls Of a church, in which not
only the Catholics. but also the Greeks,
the Armenians and the Copts have
affairs Of worship. 1t is grotto, or
cavern, consisting Of two rooms hewn
out of living rock. The outer cham
ber. which is 16 feet long by 10 feet
wide, Is called the Chapel of the
Angels" The inner room is the sep
ulcher itself, and contains the stone
on which the body Of Jesus reposed.
Both are lined with white marble.
1t was in the outer chamber, the Wis.,
itor is told, that the angels announced
the resurrection to the holy women.
In the middle of the floor, covered with
white marble, richly carved, is a por-
ton of the stone on which, as de-
scribed In the Scriptures, the angel
sat on Easter morning. Suspended
from the roof are fifteen lamps, repre-
senting as many Christian nations,
which are always kept burning.
Burial Place Of Jesus.
A door so low that the visitor can
pass only by STOPPING gives entrance
to the inner room, pointed out as the
actual burial place of Jesus. which is
hardly more than six feet square. The
stone on which the body of the Re-
deemer lay is raised three feet above
the ground. and, covered with mar
bic slab, is used as an altar. Inas-
much as only four persons at a time
can find room in the small chamber,
the Catholics, Greeks and Armenians

And very appropriately accompany
ing this comes the prominence given
to pockets on skirts for street wear
In these fine tailoring plays most
important part. They are all cut ankle
length, and the attention given to
snappy footwear is not less than that
bestowed upon the skirt. Separate
skirts are worn with tailored waists
Of crspe-de-chine
In either tailored or afternoon
gowns there are short jackets and
long coats to choose from. The short
waist line hardly admits rival in
popularity. and perhaps this accounts
for the lack in number of designs
which were expected to feature mil.
itary ideas
The short jacket that completes the
pretty gown pictured here Is covered
with braiding in self-color. 1t is just
the touch required to enrich the de-
sign. Worn over lacy bodice and
with q fiower-trimmed hat the toilette
leaves nothing to be desired. 1t is
developed In medium shade of blue
with a grayish cast and the hat and
parasol correspond
