FREE OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL.

There have been vocational schools. manufacturing schOls, and trade schools. but the Opportunity Public school cf Denver, Col, differs from all these. A man or woman boy or girl, can secure, day by day, instruction there that will enable the ~-udent tc hold down a new job. Or, one W&O has never been student at the school may call upon it for instant help anG receive it as readily as enc of the regularly enrolled pupils. All in structiOn is given by men and women who arc successful in the shops and stores of the city. Foremen and fore women give several hours a day or night to guide the raw youth or the middle-aged misfit in " practical mar ner. Men and women over 60 years old are among the pupils. Twenty ma tionalities are represented among the foreign students.
 Tho Opportunity School teaches au- tomobiie mechanics, Red Cross work, cooking. dietetics, bad-making and other dom mestic-science arts, salesman ship, hairdresslng, manicuring, me- chanical drafting, millinery, dental as sistance, bookkeeping, stenOgra apby. and other practical, everyday occupa- tions Pictures of these classes a! work, together with other interesting details of the instruction, arc to be found in an article in the October number of Popular Mechanics maga- zine. Since the United States entered ;he great war the Opportunity school has developed several groups that con stitute preparedness classes. There are both mems and womens automo- bile classes, where cars are taken down CT assembled.
 Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this unusual public school is the fact that it's heau and inspiring genius is woman. Miss Emily Grif fith, the principal, was a poor farm girl, who began to each when II years old. Her sympathy and quick perception have contributed as much as any other factor ils making the school i SucceSS

God plan the lives of your children Lot did not seem to see that his girls were being turned over to the arms of infamy. He was as blind as some of you are.
 God let things go unnolested for a while with these people. He, now lets sin go on for while. But He will call things to account some time He did this with Lot. Sodom be- came desperately wicked. God de- cided to destroy the city. Abraham interceded for the city, but not even ten righteous men and women could be found. So God told Lot to take his family s,at of that wicked city.
 Lot .ade the mistake of his life when he pitched his tent toward Sodom. You make the greatest mis- take of all when you pitch your tent with the hosts of sin. Mothers and fathers do not be so nasty about pushing your children out into so- ciety. It is so easy to lose your influence over them. Have you lost your influence? Have you lost your hold upon God as did Lot? What will you do in this present campaign? VIII you let go and let God have 6 chance at your heart, or will you re- sist God and die? Decide tonight"

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton


 tractivc about the suspendcr dress worn over a blouse of thin material. This one is made of fouIard while the blouse is made of Gcorgettc crepe. It makes a very charming costume, and a very scrViceable one but you could, of course, vary it in many ways. You could use Charmeusc or taffeta for the dress as well as the foulard or you could make it of a linen or d cotton gabardine if you want something simpler, or you could make it of the gingham that serves so many uses. It IS ad- mirable for between seasons wear, but with the gingham or cotton eabardine you would, of course, have a blouse of muslin or of handkerchief lawn. The skirt is a quite simple one gath cred and joined to a belt and can be finished with or without the pockets, also it can be made without the straps and finished with a wide belt. TaHeta promises to be much used through the early Autumn and taffcta with blouse of Georgette crepe makes a scrviceable gown.
 For the medium size the blouse will require, yards of material 36 or A inches wide and the skirt with suspenders 43N yards 36, 43s yards A.
 The blouse pattern No. O4O8 is cut in sizes from 36 to 46 inches bust measure and the skirt pattern No. 95oI is cut in sizes from o4 to 32 inches waist measure. They will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of 10 cents for the waist and IS cents for the skirt with suspenders.
 The coat suit is to make a feature of the Autumn and here is one that shows very new fea- lures. The coat is sen1i-ftt;ng and it takes long and becoming lines that render 1t available fer the figures of generous propor- tions as well as for the slender ones. The skirt also is made in six gores, each gore forming a box plait, so that there are a succession of straight lines. Here, the material is a checked light weight wool but the use of plain or striped material em- phasizes the slender effect. For the early season, the Summer serges and light weight bolivia cloth are favorite materials. Broadcloth is extensively used and there are pretty novelties that combine silk with wool that are of really perfect weight fo1 such use. Quiet colors are the preferred ones and this suit shows blue broadcloth with threads of black that form a check and the collar and cuffs are of plain blue.
 For the medium size thetcoat will require, 3M yards of ma terial 3o inches wide, 3H yards A, 212 yards 54 and the skirt, 3M yards 36, 5 yards A, SIS yards 54.
 The coat pattern No. 95I2 is cut in sizes from 36 to 46 inches bust measure and the skirt pattern No. 94S4 in sizes from 24 to g inches waist measure. They will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents for each.
