were made by the dozens because the French women were compelled to walk through a lack of taxicabs, and the Amer ican women were supposed to have start ed on system of economy which would compel them to walk instead of paying money for taxis.
 voluminous peltry was applied to all costumes because of the intense cold on both continents last winter and because of the scarcity of coal in Paris last January and the promise of 1t in tnis country for this winter.
 The Paris designers have given all kinds of anecdotal reasons for their gowns. and some of the American dressmakers who are not giving to either narrative or reasons for their clothes are repeating the French talk in an in teresting way.
 The most dominant fashion produced this winter is the garment that slips on over the head and has pieces of the ma terial to tie 1t into place This is quite as primitive as In days when Melisande lived, loved and died.
 A year ago, the reporters who study clothes intently and with an inside knowl
 edge of scarcity of certain materials prophecied that the near future wouls bring about womens clothes that wer' fashioned to be adjusted without ras teners. France sent up some trial bal looms in gowns that were cut in tw' pieces and tied around the hips by

view of color and personality, rather than price and serviceability.
 When, for instance. have we had a session as full of fringes as now? When have we had winter in which six floating panels of silk were weighted down with Indian beads to half conceal a pair of oriental trousers that look as though they were elongated envelope chemises, or what the young girl ir- reverentIy calls her teddy bears"
 When have we ever worn the hat made famous in our Indian countries of Ameri- ca, with its peaked crown, soft brim and colored cords?
 Since when have we worn clothes made out of single width of material that is caught at ore shoulder, draped across the hack, wound around the hips, caught again above the knee and left to fall on the floor in folds that cling to the ankles! This is Thais and the Tanagras. Since when have conservative women gone about in the evening with gold 1 band on one ankle and a broad gold band on the upper arm? And when have 1 women walked the streets in the morn 1 ing and afternoon with Indian and Chi nese chains dangling from their necks? 1 How long has it been since an as semblage of women at the theatre gave one a vivid impression of a jungle full | of tropical birds flashing their long 1 tails and wings in the air--a suggestion which Is given by the myriad of great fans made of peacock tails, Of red, pur pie, green and black ostrich feathers, o Chinese sandalwood, of Egyptian fronds of colored aigrettes.

On the hats that the milliners turn out, the crown band is finished with fringe at it's lower edge, or reserving its simplicity until it gets to the side of the hat, it breaks out into a waterfall of fringes that recah to the outer edge of the brim.

Hothous Religion

Rev J. II. Jowett, in txe Christian
 Herald.
 When I was a boy saw an advertise ment over little chapel, Come and hear the weeping preacher!' The hor- TOT of it all oppressed even my boyish -r'nd and I recoiled from the artifce. The finest things can never be forced.
 Even humor loses it's exquisite essence when it is the product of the hothouse. The man who is always trying to be funny scarcely ever succeeds. We cam not even force ohr courtesies without perverting them into affections.
 We cannot force the growth of wis dom. It is possible to force the acquisi- tion of knowledge, to stuff the mind with chaotic facts, but when knowledge Is to become wisdom we have to drop all de- vices and artifices. and trust to natural impulses and powers. And so it is in
 the whole round of the Christian life We cannot force ourselves into it's finer creations. If we are to be attractive. our Christianity must be perfectly nat
 ural And therefore, perhaps. there is too much trying to be Christians; and therefore there are too many wrinkles, 1 too many care lines.
 | Perhaps if we tried" less and rested more, we should spontaneously realize the fruits and flowers of the Spirit.

ysnxicisnly man made the statement the other day that if women follow tne eashicns of this autumn they will LOOK es though they were taking leading roles sn well known operas.
 Aida. Anneris, Natoma, Lakrne. Melis- and and Thais are the operatic cnarao- rers on which the French designers must have based their work for this season. Natoma is suggested by the distinct y Indian clothing that has come rom xYre great houses abroad and copied and launched in all the houses here.
 Lakme is suggested by the oriental clothing with its ancient coloring, its dangling beads and it's glistenfng tissues Thais is suggested in the drapins or 8 xhe figure by folds of soft material, sucn as creme and satin. the drapery winding around the body and revealing every curve and line without confning the muscles.
 Aida has her prototypes today in the savage primitive clothes, the brilliant blue and green necklaces. the paroaric arnbands above the elbow and the un- even, fringed hem of the skirt.
 Amneris is seen in the ballroom and at the dinner table in all the splendor Of her Egyptian finery, her heavy, banded head, the large waistline and the sinuous drap- cry about the hips, to say nothing or the addition of a gorgeous peacock feath- CT fan.
 It was a startling suggestion, this one made by a man concerning the modern woman dressed for an opera role, and the critic of clothes saw in it a truth that ws both amusing and interesting.
 Glancing over the moving films Of clothes that are passing the eye today one feels, in the light of this new ract as though one might be in the salons of ; Marie Muelle of Paris, the greatest the atrical costumer in the world. Through her rooms flash all the singers of the world Her knowledge of operatic cos tumery, her superb handling of colors. her ingenuity in carrying out the best artistic suggestions to be found in the < great museums and picture gallaries of France, are well known to all those who live in the musical world Muelle's clothes represent the ages of the world; they are cOlorIul ana Supefp SyiiipolS oA cNciy powerful race that has passed over the planet.
 But what has the story of Muelle's rooms to do with modern clothes, you ask. The answer is that you could fino the inspiration for every gown you wear today in those salons, if you looked with an eye trained to detail and accurate observation.
 THE DANGLING OF PRINCES
 Modern clothes, which means the clothes for this autumn and winter, are said to be simple. We all know they are nvl inexpensive. And yet even witf their simplicity. there are so many bar baric and exotic suggestions that they give good deal of delight to anyone who studies clothes from the point o1

Aida, Amneris, Natoma- Lakme and Thais were the inspiration for American clothes to be worn in the ceremonial hours. Fringes made from slashed fabrics have been adopted as the ornament of the hour. Elimination of buttons and hooks and eyes and introduction of gowns that slip over the head and are tied at the waist have given joy, comfort and interest.

Dir. hnox's reasons for desiring rati-

This treaty differs 10 degree or char
