silk. Straps of blue serge are set on either side of the back and front. These are stitched flat around the edges and are apparently buttoned with black boned buttons and loops of black soutache braid. These straps may be set only on the front If you are short o fgoods. The old blouse waist of serge is fitted into the waist line. Three small folds are held in to the under arm seam in the front only so as to give necessary fullness across the bust. The waist is cut into a deep V and fastened with bone buttons over a "fly" made of a small piece of serge, on which straps of braid are set to represent loops.
 Revers of serge finish the neck. Over these serge revers are set larger ones of striped silk. Soft folds of white net give a becoming neck line, falling over the serge waist at the shoulder and around the back to form collar. Any pretty detachable white vest may be worn with this dress. The sleeves are set in under several rows of machine stitching. Deep cuffs of striped silk turn back at the waists and obviate the necessity for washable cuffs. Black charmeuse or navy blue taffeta will make a good substitute for the striped silk in this model. Such a gown Will be found suitable for shopping, travel ing or wear in an office.

national guard is 12S,6s0 strong, yet eight days after the Presidents call we were able to point to but 2S,00O militiamen, a trifle over 21 per cent who had reached the camp or mobilization centers. And only a few of the organizations involved were adequately equipped. Contrasted with the achievements of Germany and France at the outbreak of the European war our showing is pitiful. In six days, Germany mobilized 100000 men, while France moblized 100000 in Il days. It is already apparent that 30 per cent of the national guard will be unable to pass the medical examination and regular officersl are of the opinion that Uncle Sam will be- lucky to get 6O,O0O soldiers out of 12S.-i 000 militiamen. In the matter of equip ment the situation is little better than in 1898. Cavalry commands appear to be- quite ready to go to the Mexican bor- der but for the fact that they haven'tl enough horses or saddles; infantry com-I mands are found to be without sufficient hats, blankets, shoes. The other day thel government closed contract for big order of shoes at $40 pair. The regu- lar price of these shoes had been $2.65 to S295 pair, but as no one had foreseen that the army would need shoes, a pre- mium of $175 pair had to be paid for the hurry order. Men have gone into camp without uniforms and others with out guns. A recently organized machine- gun company marched to Camp Whit man, New York, as infantry, because it had mot single article of special maj chine gun equipment" with no immediate prospects of getting any. Ex-president Taft states that adequate preparednesa means an army of at least 500,000 men, yet at the end of eight days we had 2S,I GOO of the national guard in camp with the possibility of finally getting 60,000.

Americans at Church

George Heber Jones, in World Outlook.
 This is what Dong Sung Kim says of church-going in his Oriental Impressions in America:"
 Along with our wonders and surprises we came to one place where we were quite disappointed. We used to attend in our home land, a full prayer meeting with as many people present as there were on Sunday; but here in America just a handful of faithful few turned out for this mid-week service. At the first prayer meeting, our pastor told us that he had the largest prayer meeting in the state, although the crowd was quite small. Yet this pastor was such whole some and lovable man of great power. He was among the choicest of the leaders of his state. yet he was unable to pull the people out to a mid-week prayer meeting.
 "In an Ohio denominational college, the boys went to church once with a Persian student, who had recently ar rived. The stranger evidently was not
