Fashion holds a loose rein this sea- son and leaves much to the fancy of the individual. If only she contrives to be smart and somewhat original she may please herself as to the length of her coat, the lines of her silhouette and the material of her suit She who loves the plain, tailor-made suit In quiet colors is much approved by fashionable sentiment, and she who cannot be happy in severe things may go long way in elaboration.
 Nevertheless the predominating style in tailored suits is built on the almost straight line silhouette, with a three quarter length Cor slightly longer) coat and plain skirt without any fullness to spare and hanging straight. It may even cup in a little toward the bottom, and buttoned up the side sseams from the hem almost to the knee. There is no attempt to make

 One of the Sox players told of their first rehearsal. Rowland got us to- gether in the clubhouse and asked if any of us knew the words of The Star-SpangIed Banner" he said. 'There were only three-Benz, Scott and Weaver. The rest knew only short snatches.
 Rowland then told us to sing the two verses as well as we could and that those who didn't know the words could make a bluff until they learned them by singing sHmn-hum-hum.'
 After our first appearance Gandil came in the clubhouse after the game and approached Rowland. I can't help it, boss he said. I'm bum hum-hummer'

It is far cry from the ordinary kimona to the gorgeous lounging robe that is pictured here, although there are kimonas and ,khnonas; some of them superb and rich in the embroid- cries of Japan. Perhaps it is these that have inspired the boudoir gowns or lounging robes that have departed from the simple ways of their forebear to become rich and splendid. Anyway at home one may be as gaily decked out as the fancy chooses, and as rich and splendid as money will allow, without offending anybody's taste or sense of fitness.
 This Nunging robe is of salmon col ored sathir embroidered with silk in tones of the same color. The long. set in sleeves with points finished with tas- sel. carry the mind kinomaward, and so does the management of the front where the opening is like that of a kimona. But ''v" shaped vestee is set in and the garment cut with long body finished at the bottom with an embroidered band. The skirt portion is set on to this and falls open to the hem, pre-supposing an under-petticoat of silk or net or lace. The under-pet- ticoat is of crepe de chine, with a lace trimmed fieunce. To indulge in so rich boudoir gown is to take the con sequences in the form of petticoats, slippers, stockings and cap that shall be in keeping with it.
 The pretty cap shown in the picture leaves no doubt in the mind as to it's origin for 1t is dainty interpretation of coolie hat. The crown is made of bands of narrow ribbon, the brim

Silk Coatees Favored.

Little silk bolero coatees are made to go with the lovely cream white net dresses. They are often rather loose, and made by tapping the breadths to make them take the form of the figure, more or less. They are bordered with ancient ginps. or with old-fashioned looking narrow lowered ribbons. They generally take the tone of the ribbon used in some way ca these va porous dresses.

MINOR CLUBS QUITE COSTLY
Running Expenses of St. Paul Ameri. can Association Team in 1916
 Were $76,457.

Some idea of what it costs to run team in the American association was revealed in the suit for an accounting filed by Mrs. Minnie Lennon against the present operators of the St. Paul club. They showed that the running expenses of the Saints in 1916 were S76,457, and this did not include taxes and interest on the debt incurred ir purchase of the club.

They are held on by narrow straps made of satin ribbon shirred over fiat elastic and there are two straps to each slip per. The cap and slippers need not be of the same color as the robe but the effect is fine when they are.

PHOENIX ALLEYS
 ARE AN EXAMPLE

Chief A. F. Wright of the Phoenix fire department, who has just returned from an extensive trip among the coast cities. had a nose for alleys while ab sent. He came back convinced that Phoenix has the best alleys of any of the cities visited.
 Were alleys the only thing you saw" was asked
 "No, not exactly" the chief replied But alleys were an outstanding fea- ture The coast is very busy this sum : mer I visited Los Angeles, San Fran cisco, Seattle, Tacoma and went as far north as Victoria. In every place I of course paid particular attention to fire departments. but alleys kept crop ping out on every hand. They seemed to be like a cross-eyed woman, look ing at me whenever 1 turned a street corner.
 Some of them were hopelessly clut- tered with boxes, cans and debris. Others were not so disorderly but not up to the standard attained in Phoe- nix It is not an easy matter to fight fire in an alley filled with plunder from stores and restaurants and 1 could not help but wonder how those coast firemen manage it.
 Here in Phoenix we work at fires without obstruction when the fire is to be approached from an alley. From sanitary standpoint the Phoenix all leys are viewed with admiration. These alleys are as clean as the streets and as free from obstruction

Germany has yet nine million fighting men to put in the army, and Germany isn't conquered yet-no, isn't started yet. There will be from three to five or ten million of the best young men of America shed their blood upon the battlefield before this war shall end They will go from us in the strength of their young manhood and we will prob ably never see them again.
 This great convention, beloved, that convenes in Southern California each year, is really a national affair. Peo- pie come from all over the United States to attend this convention.
 Southern California has some great men. Brother Rogers. the state sec retary, is a great leader and a great secretary, with Brother Smith, the leader of the Bible school work, run ming a close second
 Brother Peter Ainshe was spokes- man of the convention. You all know Brother Ainslie, and that he is a gra- cious speaker and polite Christian one of Gods great men. attended the first service in the church, when Brother Ainslie was to appear on the platform. He had touched on the sec ond coming of Christ several times, and the people who were anxious to hear him further on the subject decided they would get together and ask him to address them. But instead of a few of them getting together, the house was crowded. And Brother Ainslie brought on the questions that had been asked him.
 T am certainly proud of the Chris tians from this congregation who are on the coast. They are not bathing and are not playing all the time, but are attending that convention and are working earnestly The night l spoke. there were thirty-nine or forty Phoe- nix people in the audience all together, and all ready to cheer their pastor as I stood on that platform. If 1 did well that night. it was due to those people from Phoenix and to theil encourage ment. l said to some of them: This business of your coming to the coast has got to be stopped. We will just fix up place near Phenix where you can go and where all the members of the church can go'
 Brother Ainslie was answering questions, and they asked this ques- tion and that question concerning the second coming of Christ; and you know there is no man can get Brother Ainslie into an argument He simply will not antagonize. He says you simp- ly cannot settle your disputes by ar gument.t Someone said, You say war is absolutely wrong. If won were

drafted what would you do? And he said, We will not go any farther. War is wrong. We are sure it is absolutely wrong, but we will not go any farther on this subject now.
 Speaking of the second coming or Christ, he placed this idea before the convention. He says we must not let any of our ideas lead us too far-We must not make a dogma of the sec ond coming of Christ. Someone said, What do you mean by a dogma? What is the difference in believing in the second coming of Christ-and ill be- ieving in the second coming as a dog ma?' He said: Here it is Those who believe in the second coming of Christ as a dogma do not believe in the sec ond coming and do not shape their lives as if they expected Jesus to ap- pear at any moment. But they try to force their faith and ideas of things upon the people, and it's wrong The people of the Christian chucrh are free people and therefore must not force their thoughts upon other people,
 "The beauty of the Christian church is that any man who believes that Je- sus is the Chrict, the Son of the living God, can take membership Our plea is so broad that every religious body ln the wide world may believe it and ac- oept it and follow Jesus Christ. We may disa gree concerning eternal pun ishment and many other things; but the idea is-don't make dogma out of yorr belief: don't ride your hobby.
