The Central Avenue Christian
church is the youngest of the North
Topeka church orga niZations, and is
characterized by the vigor and ag
gressive spirit of youth. There is a
confidence of success with all it's
undertakings, and a feeling of opti
mism pervades the entire member
ship of the congregation.
1t was in the spring of 1887 that
the start was made. At that time there
were a few members of the First
Christian church living north of the
river. Because the distance made it
church regularly they held prayer
meetings in their respective homes.
This spirit of prayer and devotion has
characterized the work of the church
from the beginning.
After the prayer meetings had been
running for a time it was decided to
have Bible school. The first meet
ing of the Sunday school was on
July "a, 1887, in Buechner's Hall,
over a meat market on Kansas ave-
nue.. Among the workers in this
school were Mrs. Elizabeth Petit, for
whom a memorial window was years
afterwards placed in the church, and
Miss Sarah Garrett, who was one of
the charter members and still is a
faithful worker in the church.
The MOseseS Were Influential.
One of the epochs in the work was
the coming of William H. Moses and
family to North Topeka in the spring
Of 1888. Mr.. Moses became one of
the first elders of the church. Mrs.
Moses was a faithful and self-sacri-
ficing member of the church for
years; she was a woman of wide
vision. Because of her interest in all
the work of the church she became
known throughout the nation. She
served as secretary of the Kansas
Christian WOman'S Board of Missions,
and later as secretary and president
of the National Christian Woman's
Board of Missions with headquarters
at Indianapolis, Ind. One of her sons
served as a missionary in Mexico. Mrs.
Moses always kept in touch with the
North Topeka church by correspond
ence, and a number of the present
members were personally acquainted
with her. She died May IL, 1908. It
is the hope of the congregation to
some time have large memorial
window in her honor.
Church Organized in 80.
The work was continued simply as
a Sunday school until February, 1889,

Church Over a Joint
The church building was erected in
1894. After the Romig-Dawdy meet
ing the church worshipped in a hall
at 1910 North Kansas avenue, over a
Joint" For q short time the congre-
cation was without a minister, and
then the Rev M. ingalls, was called TO
the work. At this time the church
was partially supported by missionary
funds. Brother ingalls, inspired the
church to build, raised money to buy
the lots, and directed the building en-
terprise. He mortgaged his own home
to help finance the church. Both
men and women worked on the build
ing, much of the labor being donated.
The chapel was dedicated in October,
1894, and with slight alterations
served the congregation until 1912.
Brother Ingalls, served the church as
pastor until October, 1895. He is re-

Pastors of the Church.

full in his work and much loved by the
people. Later he became a mission

A lack of harmony developed in the
church which resulted in the division
of the church for time. The Shorey
people took their services back to that
section, and the North Topeka church

When Buying Furs.

| THE lines of ones figure should be
u carefully considered when buying
furs For medium sized woman the
modified ripple models are usually
most becoming. These coats also have
the fullness swung from a point well
below the yoke line. The bust section
is semi-fitted, and usually is single
breasted. with a convertible collar of
contrasting fur. If the mediums sized
woman is fairly large. but fiat-chested.
the extreme flare models are often suit
able. The slim woman looks best in an
extremely full coat. The younger the
woman. the shorter the coat is a good
rule to go by, but whether long or
short there must be plenty of fullDess

The stout woman with large bust and

the coat in which the lower section is
cut in one with the top is good if the
coat is gored in such way that the
semi fitted lines are retained to point
well over the hips and the fare falls
below.

turning merrily. and throughout the
highways and byways of dress people
are smiling. There has not only been
plenty of work since the first of Sep
tember. but there promises to be plenty
more throughout the winter and the
spring, unless some untoward thing
happens to this land across the water.
The promise of a season of fine and
interesting apparel is made more def
mite by the fact that the important
dressmaking houses in New York are
sending out word that their new ship
ments are arriving to substitute the
deficit left by the sale of all the French
models that were brought over here in
September. The head of one impor-
tant house on 5th avenue had to go
abroad the last of October in order to
get new clothes and inspiration from
the French designers. because he was
quite cleaned out of the immense stock
he had brought over the first of the
season.
The fact that prices were very high
had no effect on the purchasing by
women who evidently have the money
for the first time in two years to in
dulge their desires Part of the high
prices was due to the use of metal bro
cades. to get down to fashions again
and away from trade conditions. The
first use of heavy brocade with a metal
flower in 1t was in a jacket with a
sweeping peplum over a f1ounced skirt
as one of the really lovely creations of
the season, and it was designed and
made by an American.
Later the brocade appeared princi-
pally in these panel trains, and then
in quaint bodices, dropped to deep
Elizabethan point in front, and after
ward in Robin Hood jenkins, or Dago-
bert cuirasses. which fell from bust to
hips in a straight line.
The use of solid brocaded skirts has
not been popular. Even Callot and
Worth, both of whom are notably adj
dicted to the use of brocades, have
added lace, tulle and flowers to enliven
the heavier material. Nearly all the
designers blend the renaissance with
the later Bourbon period, in the way
they employ this sumptuous fabric
with it's great, glittering flowers made
of metal threads.
The shoemakers have not been be-
hind the dressmakers in getting hold
of brocades, and the really smart thing
to dance in is the very high boot of
metal brocade, which does not meet by
two inches in front and is laced with
satin or metal ribbon.
The fact that small turbans have
come into fashion, suddenly, and have
been accepted by the smartest of young
women, has caused a good deal of per-
