Sermon for the vIrtuous.

We excuse the partial failure Of our
characters on the ground of their gen.
eral successive can afford to be a
little bad who are so good. 4.
Temper is the vice Of the virtuous
Christ's sermon on the "elder brother"
Is evidently a sermon pointedly to the
virtuous-not to make bad people
good, but to make good people perfect.

NEW FASHION NOTES.

The overblouse, or sleeveless tunic,
is one of the attractive ways of making
a blouse and skirt into a costume. In
one of the Fifth avenue houses In new
York, some interesting blouses nave
been worked out in Japanese SILK
crepes-soft, rich materials in unusual
coIors. One of these was made OF hea-
burn orange on one side and lighter,
softer shade of the same color, achieved
by an overweave of white, on the other.
The lighter shade is used as the OUT
side of the tunic, and rolling edges or
the material bring a narrow binding or
the burnt orange into play.
Another which shows the Japanese
influence even more strongly is mace
of Toxic crepe in a charming shade
of blue. 1t is trimmed with a bit OF
embroidery similar to that used on
mandarin coats, which is applied on the
front and on little slanting pockets.
The blouse is finished with black and
gold buttons.
These take the direction of blouses
made longer than they have ever been,
the belts being the great feature, fash
toned in superbly colored Russian en-
broidery. These are in unison with the
Jackets, which are three-quarter
length, and with these one-piece satin
gowns are worn. Dark blue gabardine
and handsome velvets make the best OF
one-piece frocks after satins, which,
maybe, are more generally uselul says

EDISON DESIGNS SHIP
 DECLARED INVISIBLE

A report was given recently that the great inventor Edison had designed an invisible ship, that will reduce mater tally the toll of the U-boat warfare The plans were worked out by Mir Ed ison and put in operation by the U S. government
 Its success thus far has greatly i'm pressed shipping men and Naval ex- perts, and it promises to be more and more efficacious. It is a merchant ship without a sky line.
 Any ordinary freighter can be cas- fly and quickly changed to meet the re- quirements of the new scheme. The masts forward and after are hinged in such a manner that they can be laid down fiat A portion of the tunnels can be removed to cut them down to the deck line. With the upper part of the stack removed, the line from the bow 10 the stern Is continuous and un- broken.
 With the neutral tones now used in painting merchant ships. ship so equipped is absolutely invisible at short distance. Even if the vessel is above the horizon, it cannot be seen. except by rare chance. experts say.
