He strobe up and down the long
room, gesticulating-little regarding
the troubled and drowsy figure by the
freside. His throat rumbled thunder
ously; the words came with stormy
bitterness. "You think this is time

This is one OF those strange para
,loxcs that come up in fashion, as IN
lite. A woman may have mascu-
line face-and many Americans have
this type in features. as well as in
expression-an yet. she cannot wear
any hat invented for man except
the one that DArtagnan wore.
Whenever you put wide. sweep
ing, irregular brim with soft crown
and floating plume over a face that
has strong features, you get good
effect, and when you use the pot hat
Of Beau Brummcl or the stiff turban
OF Russia, you accentuate a strong
face with such emphasis that il be
comes ugly. This was matter or
strong debate among the miiliners.

can women with typical Anglo-Saxon
faces refuses the hat with the stiff,

Smashing in the Crown.
France was the first to find ou,
what the trouble was, and she rene
died it by smashing in the crown in
way that would have made stove
pipe disrcpu,able. Soft materials
were used, such as pannc velvet and
plush, and these were pulled in and
out. as the features Of the wcarer
decided. Hats with stiff brims had
velvet crowns that tumbled across
the top in an irregular wave. and in
stantly, the high shape became thing
OF beauty over the broad face.
Nothing has yet been done to make
the stiff ,urban becoming. even with It's
collapsible crown. 10 the woman who
needs some kind Of brim across her
forehead, but the irregular shaping OF
the crown--pulling il FAR down on the
right side and fitting il up on the left
has turned it into a far more present
able hit OF millinery for the average
woman.
Even the youalyster with the small
face and the brightly painted lips has
begun to smash her Russian turban
down on one side.

School LESSON
Lesson September II, Acts 20.
By Ben Newsome

Lesson September II, Acts %.
The lesson opens with Paul before
the Roman magistrate in jerusalem,
who. after permitting him to address
the gathering in his own defense. was
minded to scourge him to find out
what there was in the man that made
the Jows so determined to take hi-
life. This Paul stopped by asserting
his Roman citizenship which was his
by right Of having been born In the
Roman city Of Tarsus. right which
the magistrate had only obtained by
means Of purchase. Paul had made
nm able defense, recounting his early
training in the most orthodox Jewish
school OF religious thought. his zeal
and fidelity to those teachings, even
70 the fierceness OF his persecution
Of those who held to the creed Of
Jesus, up to his conversion to that
belief and his anxiety to work for
his Master. All this WIS listened to
without objection. but when he began
TO tell how the Lord had refused his
plea to preach to his fellow Hebrews
at Jerusalem and had commanded
him to carry the message to the Cen
tile world, all the time nurtured ex-
clusiveness and bigotry Of his audi
ence came to the surface and they
cried out that this man was not fit
to live. 1t 10 significant Of human

MANILA, Aug, 20.-Misgivings felt
several years ago when all American
troops were withdrawn from Min

the only Mohammedans in the Philip
pines. have been proved to be baseless
by tho subsequent history of the new
regime in that region. Where five
years ago, fear Of the Moro and his
lust for blood made the life of the
foreigner in the Moro country one of
constant worry and apprehension. to-
day there is peace and the beginnings
of prosperity the like Of which
would have seemed FOOLS dream in
1912.
The withdrawal OF American troops
and their substitution by companies Of
Filipino constabulary. was begun
soCn after the arrival OF Governor
General Harrison. The work of con-
ciiiating the Moro was hastened by
the policies OF Frank Carpenter, for
mer executive secretary Of the Philip
pine government, named governor OF
Mindanao and Sulu. soon after Mr.

nature to this day that you can abuss
their methods and denoumce their
beliefs az much as you please until
you encroach on their racial or re-
ligious prejudices, and then they are
ready to fight. It was intolerable to
the Jewish mind that God should have
laid up any mercies for people who
were not children Of Abraham. and
the suggestion that the salvation of
the Messiah was for Gentiles as well
as Jews was to them the most Of
fensive blasphemy.
Taul's assertion of his Roman
citizenship brings us to a considera-
ton Of the value of that privilege TO
him. The world had Heretofore been
put up a multitude Of petty gov
crnments, few OF them able to enforce
respect for its laws beyond a limited
sphere. but the Roman empire had
established the rule OF law and order
over all the then known world. Much
as we sympathize with the loyalty Of
people to their own little race and
country, 1t must be acknowledged
that this Capitalization of power
brought a higher state Of civilization
and progress than could ever have
taken place among the petty and war
ring Kingdoms Mover before had
the world seen such an era OF peace
as was established by the Caesars, and
the world Of today Is indebted to them
for the elements Of government, as
1t Is to the Greeks for science and art
and to the Jews for theology. Each
of these three forces played an i'm
portant part In making the world

have been much slower and accom-
panied by much more peril for It's
