Easter comes late this year, usher
ing in the last week in April, so that
the matter of new spring suits may
be all settled before that time. Style
features that will predominant through
the coming summer are already q GER
tainty, and they are not very different
from those of the past season.
Certain characteristics of the win
ter's modes are emphasized in those
for spring, and others are modified.
For instance, skirts are wider but not
SO short. Coats are inclined to fit
more snugly in the body and indulge
more fullness in the peplum. They
are short and many of them are belt
ed. Collars are diminishing in width,
at the front, at least. Capes and cape
effects furnish novelty in details that
may be depended on. Buttons play
a not too conspicuous but important
role in the matter of decoration, and
one may choose between silk or wool
or cotton materials. Much ingenuity
is apparent in the management Of
belts

SUNDAY SAYINGS

The fellow who has been divorced

will offer him a tract on The Bread

As Johnnie Heard II.

Little Johnnie had been accustomed
to go to sleep during every sermon.
despite the seedlings of his mother
One Sunday morning she sent him
of to church and intimated to him
that If he went to sleep they would
go into executive session in the wood
shed on his arrival from church.
AS test of his being away she re-
.Quired that he tell her the preachers
text when he went home.
Johnnie's natural propensity to
lsleep was Offset by his fear as to what
might happen in the woodshed. so he
STAYED awake.
He came back conscious of the fact
that he was on the safe side, and
when his mother asked him what the
text was he unblushingly accused the
preacher of the following text. Moses
was an oyster man and made ONT
ment for the shins of his people
The real text was; Moses was an
austere man and made atonement for
the sins of his people.

Three new hats for spring, shown in
the picture above, are distinctively dif-
ferent in design, and each is represent
alive of a class that is featured for
the coming season. Two of the shapes
are turbans and the third has very
narrow brim.
The turban at the top of the group
is one of a great many patterns in
which the shape is entirely covered
with foliage. Rose foliage in the nat
ural colors and black is used, put on
in every conceivable way. 1t repro
duces the dark and lighter greens of
the natural leaves, the gradations in
size and the tinges of red in the small
err leaves. Roses are used for trim
ming turbans of this kind, and they
are mounted in ways as various as the
foliage
In the hat shown the shape is first
covered with satin, and the sprays of
foliage are crowded together over it.
A rose, half blown, and a bud. set in
small rose foliage, is set in among the
large leaves at the left side. In sim
liar hats small fruits and acorns and
occasionally nuts are made into
sprays with twiga and used for trim
ming. In a great many foliage tur-
bans the sprays of leaves are separat.
ed and the leaves are glued to the
shape In set rows. The rows may run
around the shape, following the out
line OF the brim. or they may extend

therefore adapted to fancy weaves and
checks as well. The skirt has no
plaits, but manages to flare by means
of the slanting seams. The coat is
shaved to the figure at the under
arms, and belted across the front and
back. It is finished with wide revers
and shaped bands Of the material with
fancy buttons by way of variety of or
nament. Bands and buttons take the
place Of cuffs on the plain coat sleeves.
In many of the new coats the full
ness Of the peplum is confined to the
sides and back; the lines at the front
are kept straight and unbroken. The
fullness OF skirts is arranged in the
same way. Colored checks. showing
brown and green, blue and green. tan
and blue, and many other color COM
binations, are featured. A novelty is
contributed with some of these
checked suits in the form of overcol-
lars of a plain cloth, that are detach-
able.

from the brim edge to the middle Of
the crown at the top. In either case
the smaller leaves are on the crown.
The leaves are all given a high polish
by means of shellac, when the turban
is finished. and often the roses used
for trimming are treated in the same
way.
At the left of the picture one of the
ribbon-covered shapes is shown, hay
ing braid facing. One side of the
hat is covered with satin. Two small
apples and three twigs are set at the
back, and these testify by their var.

millinery.

varied with MORE stripes. The rib
bon is wired to give the hat height,
At the back are three small braid or
naments.
In the matter of height there are
indications that the season looks with
favor upon extremes. In foliage hats
sprays of roses are mounted on top OF
crowns, and on braid hats bows and
ruffies of ribbon soar. The msaela
shown here are very moderate In this
respect.

Billy Sunday drew his record crowd
that far in the local campaign to the
Tabernacle In the afternoon, record
which he broke at night. Twenty-Five
thousand persons crowded in through
the doors and there received from the
eccentric evangelist a denunciation
such as the great majority of them
had never before heard.
Practiced His Text.
Sunday used pleading, denunciation
and invective to get beneath the skins
of his hearers and bring home to them
the meaning of his text-The People
Had a Mind to Work. His methods
of preaching invariably bring perspir-
alton, but on this occasion they seemed
to bring 1t in a double degree.
Sunday had been speaking fer only
a few minutes when he decided to
throw his collar Off II don't care"
he told his audience. This thing
chokes me. You didn't come out here
anyhow to see me on dress parade;
you came to hear me preach. If you
didn't you shouldn't have come out at

he cried; you're ridin on the breechin2
all the time instead of taking the bit
for Jesus Christi"
Work! Work! Work." he cried time
and again, the perspiration pouring
from him sprinkling over those in the
press boxes on either side of the plat
form, the drops punctuating the notes
of the scribes.
Get To Work.
At one point Sunday stopped fer
several seconds to wipe the perspira-
ton from his face. He looked at his
very wet handkerchief. and, as if in
spired by its condition. cried: sYou
can't expect me to wear out my life
in the cause Of Jesus Christ here in
Baltimore while you are loafing on
the job. Get to work! For Gods sake,
get to workw he shouted to the min
listers section. 1.-THE trouble with your
churches is that they contain whole
bunch Of frauds"
"Criticise If you must" exclaimed the
Evangelist. "but criticise by creation.
Sisters, IL any Of you down there think
you can preach better sermon than I
can, come up here and do it. I'll
gladly give you the platform. That's
the way to criticise-don't do it by
complaint. Any of those weak-kneed.
white-livered cads who are always crit
icising me are welcome to this plat
form If they can bring the Word Of
God home to His people better than
/ can. Let him come up; I'll quit"
At the conclusion OF his sermon
Sunday made plea for all those who
wanted to help him save Baltimore for
Christ to raise their hands. Thou
sands Of hands went UP and Billy
looked immensely pleased.
