fun. and the Fairy Queen was all
smiles.
'She wore n dress of soft green moss
with fluffy collars and cuffs Of the first
red shade of the autumn trees. Her
hat was made out of brown oak leaves,
with a crown of red vine around 1t.
Her wand was Of brown, yellow ana
red. all blending most beautifully to-
gether.
THE fairies looked like the different
trees of the early autumn, just as IN"
trees are beginning to turn in color.
some wore frockS of leaves from the
elm trees, some from the maple trees,
while others copied the different trees
and shrubs around them.
"Old Mr.. Giant was dressed in Il cos
tune of pine needles. I am the same
all the time, he said. and | can wear
this costume often.
They all laughed for they knew
how hard it was for Mr.. Giant to get
new costumes all the time, and true
enough he looked like the pine trees of
the autumn--or til" pine trees of the
summer, winter and spring.
"Witty Witch was dressed like a

There 5 wonderful diversity in

I'VE must have new things all the time
or women will not buy" says one Of
those who sells frOckS nearly all the
days of the wear. 1t is business that
makes the world move forward, and SO
designers call upon the four quarters
of the globe for ideas and inspirations.
This fall there are Chinese and Rus
sian and American Indian ideas inter
preted in new suits and dresses or dis
rerniblc in their trimmings, along with
clever inventions that are home grown
and very modern.
But with all this casting about for
new inspirations there are almost no
freakish dresses. Everything must bow
To the DEGREES of the mode and manage
TO arrive at simplicity in effect no mat
ter how much elaborated in details OF
trimming or finish. The result Is the
prettiest and most wearable frocks
that can be imagined. with the straight
line models in great favor and the
smart Russian blouse winning It's way
to the front.
But the straight line dress has no
monopoly. as may be gathered from
the clever model in One-piece frock
shown here. 1t follows the lines OF
the tonneau skirt. at safe and sane

narng cuffs with ovrrlay in white
satin.
Making joke Of dcnrivationS is one
phase of French for;itudc in these
times Of trial. The Parisienne makes
light of the scarcity of coal and says
She will rely upon furs and exercise
in the open air to keep herself warm
this winter. This prediction seems to
have influenced the mode, and furs
are everywhere. On suits and frocks
they appear In bands, sometimes con-
tinuous and more often in sections. on
the bottom of skirts and coats. Collars
and cuffs. Uncovered buttons, and
narrow fur bands and fringes OF fur
find a place on all outer garments.
Deep cuffs, both close-fitting and
flaring. and narrow collars that widen
| into broad reyers are among the new
est phases of fur trimmings. But with
the broadeSt collars and the most gen.
erOus cuffs are coupled very narrow
landings in pockets and about the bot
| tom Of coats. Collars are as luxurious
| and enveloping as those introduced last
winter, those on suits Of the convert
ible variety that may be brought up
about the throat at will.
One Of the new fall suits, trimmed
with gray squirrel, is made of wool
velour. Squirrel looks we'll on the

conner. "And fresh from Antiochw

They pushed Beriah upon the steps
of the newly reared altar. He stood
there, his slight figure poised above
the upturned faces of the multitude,
the sunshine streaming upon his flut
tering yellow garments and dark,
proudly erect head. Beriah held up
his hands for silence.
II have seen the glittering lines of
the armies of Antiochus," cried
Beriah II know his strength; he can
crush all Judea as easily as a child
brushes swallows egg in his fin
gers" The people swayed and muir
INJURED for they knew he spoke the
truth and they were afraid. Beriah
leaned toward them, his face glow
ing, his eyes burning with excite
ment. "But this Antiochus is as mer-
ciful as he is strong. If We will but
yield to his will and bow before the
gods he hath set up in your midst, he
will bestow gold and honors upon
you and your children.' His light
hands fluttered over the shining Or
naments he wore. "Should We be
mad enough to resist him" he
shrugged as he brushed the hair back
from his forehead, friends, I fear
the God of Our fathers will not save
those who disregard the law of the
king"
A long silence followed, broken
only by the murmurs of the multi
tude. Beriah stepped down from the
altar and forced his way back to
Judas. The mockery had vanished
from his eyes, and, as he raised them
to his friends face, they were filled
with great fear. Judas spoke no
word; he stared straight before him,
his eyes fastened upon the altar,
where now the Syrian envoy stood.
With his strong hands he slowly
broke to pieces the gold chain Beriah
had flung about his neck.
Thou art an honored man in this
city, began the kings envoy as he
turned to old Mattathias, the priest.
Come thou first and sacrifice and
fulfill the kings command"
The five tall sons of Mattathias
gathered closer about their father.

all the mockery gone from his merry
dark eyes, understood. 1t was their
first parting.
Two years later when Beriah re-
turned to Modin, he found that his
masters envoy had preceded him.
For the kings soldiers had come to
compel the people to do sacrifice, and
the public square of Modin was
filled with an eager, tense multitude
whispering tales of the Syrian king,
the cities of Israel he had ravaged,
the tortures and deaths he had dealt
to those Jews who would not bow
down to his gods. Now his soldiers
stood quiet and watchful before the
altar they had erected in the market
place, while the men of Modin gazed
from the straight, shining figures to
their priest Mattathias, who stood
near by surrounded by his five sturdy
sons. Sturdiest and tal1est among
them was Judas; he lowered above
them, quiet and watchful; his face
was like a sword as he waited.
Judas i Judas, my brother!'
cried a voice trembling with eager
ness, and, turning, Judas gazed into
Beriah's eyes, The boy was flushed
and breathless as he flung his arms
about his old friend Then, "Hast
thou forgotten me, Judas?" he re-
preached him. "Or am I so changed
that thou dost not recognize me?"
Judas, who had uttered a low cry
of Joy as he drew the lad to him, now
stepped back, his mouth growing
hard, his eyes stern as they wandered
over Beriah's Grecian robes, the
jeweled chains and bracelets about
his neck and arms "In truth, it is
not easy to recognize thee" he said
bitterly.
"In Antioch rich mans son can
not dress like. a bond servant"
Beriah protested. II will lay aside
the kings livery tomorrow, but now
hast thou no word of welcome for
me? l have made many friends in
Antioch, but none like thee, my
hearts brother Only month ago I
was offered a post in the household
of Antiochus; yet I could not bear
the thought of remaining longer from
Modin where | could not see thy
face" With his characteristic swift
ness he removed one of the golden
chains he wore, and, before Judas
could prevent him, flung it about his
friends neck. '"Say that thou hast
missed me little,' he pleaded.
II have missed thee" answered
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1917-12-14

his journey to Antioch to join his
father, lately appointed an officer in
the household of Antiochus, Judas
walked with him to the turn in the
road, loath to have Beriah depart, for
they were dear friends and this was
to be their first parting.
Would that thou vert coming
with me to Antioch mourned
Beriah 'Thou wilt be as one buried
alive in little Modin, while in the
splendid court of Antiochus" .
"He who would teach pious Jews
to enjoy the shameful feasts and
games of the heathen!" interrupted
Judas. Better thou shouldst stay in
Modin than follow the example of
Our brethren of Antioch, who ape the
manners and dress of the Greek and
prefer the language of the Gentle"
Beriah shrugged inpatient1y.
"Why should we not wear the Greek
dress and enjoy the Greek games?"
he asked lightly.
IF we follow the Greeks in lesser
things" Judas answered, "our people
will soon forget to worship the God
of our fathers. Hast thou not heard
that this Antiochus seeks to introduce
the worship of his gods among u.s."
"And if he should succeed" There
was hint of mockery in Beriah's
voice. "What does it matter whether
we pay our VOWS to the god of our
fathers bow before the ivy
crowned Bacchus these Syrians wor-
ship"
"This is blasphemy!' cried Judas,
and his face grew hard and white.
But Beriah laughed gayly, and
threw caressing arm about his
friends shoulder. II did but wish
to torment thee" he insisted "Yet
thou dost know how l have always
shared the Greeks JOY in the sunshine
and color of life-joy in the swiftness
of the runner in his gymnasium
in the marble images of his gods All
this I shall have at Antioch" Sud-
denly his merry face grew grave.
"But l shall miss thee, Judas" he
murmured.
"Yea," answered Judas, heavily,
and he could say no more
They had reached the turn in the
road, where for a long time they
stood in silence When Beriah spoke,
his voice trembled a little. "Some
day, Judas, I will return from An
tioch and we will be as brothers
again. Farewell. ;"
Judas tried to speak but could not
