RELIGIOUS COOPERATION AS A
RESULT OF. THE WAR.

Rabbi Samuel S. Cohon states a
generally admitted fact in the follow
ing paragraph of his sermon of to-
day:
THE war has forced the various re-
ligious denominations of this country
to replace the spirit of passive toll
erance toward each other with the
spirit of actual cooperation All find
themselves united by common obliga-
tions. The unity is evidenced by the
work of the various welfare agencies
caring for our soldiers and sailors.
They serve all men in uniform with
out discrimination. This stands for
not less but more religion, not less
devotion to their creed but more COM
mon faith in humanity, justice and
reason"

THREE ALL IMPORTANT EVENTS.

In the history Of the world there are
now three events of more importance
than all other events of which we nave
any knowledge.
When God said, Let there be light
and there was light" that was the
first of these all important events.
When the Savior of Mankind was
born in that stable in Bethlehem that
was the second of these all important
events
And the winning of this war, which
will make future wars impossible and
which will establish world wide
rule of tolerance and justice, is the
third of these all important events.

"THANK GOD FOR WILSON"
Telegraph Herald.)


If President Wilson had needed the
counsel of Col. Roosevelt and Senator
Lodge, he would have answered the
first of the recent notes from Ger
many with a demand for "Uncondi-
tional surrender" In that event the
kaiser would have been able to hold
his power, using to fool the people
the fiction that Germany's enemies
we're bent upon her determination. and
the war would have gone on to the
bitter end-for the remainder of this
year surely, and possibly for the bet
ter part of next year, involving the
sacrifice of possibly a quarter of
million lives of American soldiers.
Thanking God for peace, as reverent-
ly may we thank God for Wilson
Even taking the view that demand
for Unconditional surrender" might
not have resulted in Strengthening
the kaiser's hands at home, the fact
remains that the Presidents retort
was shortly followed by the democra-
tization of Germany, the addiction of
Wilhelm. and the termination of hos
tilities.
Any way you look at it, credit for
bringing the war to an end at this
time is President Wilson's, shared in
by our glorious army and navy and
the armies and navies of the allies.
When one has become President of
the United States, the single am
bition left him is to write his name
imperishably in the history of his
country, in letters large and in terms
endearing, so that posterity shall rate
him with the greatest of his prede-
cessors.
1t is not yet too early to assign
President Wilson his place. 1t is fixed
very definitely beside Washington
and Lincoln, nor obscured by either.
That is the big fact which must give
solace to his years and satisfaction
TO those who would wish him compen-
sation for the burdens he has borne
and the spirit in which he has borne
them

THE SPIRIT OF MERCY RATHER
THAN THE SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE.

While it is quite necessary and pro-
per to require the disarmament OF the
military and naval forces of our enc
mics so as to deprive them of all harm
full power. and, also, quite necessary
and III st TO oblige the defeated nations
te nay for the wanton destruction they
have wrought in countries invaded by
their armies. yet we trust that the
spirit OF mercy rather than the spirit
of vengeance be given a place at the
peace table where all of the nations OF
the earth will have voice in shaping
the future destinies of the world.

in the theatres and at the opera, as well as in the restaurants. They are not removed. They are intended as a half-concealing, half-revealing and al- together subtle and attractive gar ment.
 A woman will come into a restau- rant with dull lavender gown of satin, beaded and cut out half low at the neck, with the arms bare from six inches below the shoulders, and the whole top of, the figure and gown will be covered by short, draped. shirred wrap with sleeves of cornflower blue tulle, the ends of which may be gold and yellow.
 There are dolmans of black satin lined with fur. and others that have bands of kolinsky or ermine which form collar and outline the long. shaped armholes that often serve without sleeves. And again and again, the fur or the Egyptian beaded em- broidery or metallic tissue is used to hold in these short wraps at the waist line and to form a bow or ends at the side or the back.
 THREAD LACE DINNER GOWN
 The half decollete evening gown con tinues as the dominant fashion. We have not yet accepted 1t whole heart edly in America, but larger degree of enthusiasm may be shown for it when
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-02-24

the informal social life of spring and summer begins.
 Black tulle, thread lace and lace flounces are constantly shown to the American buyers in the new evening gowns. The black tulle is embroidered with roses and large, conspicuous de- signs formed of silk thread and beads Thread lace is revived in such fash ion that one believes it was taken from the shelves of other years and from the trunks of other decades. Palm Beach has already started to wear Chantilly lace, and it is more than probable that America will go in for a lace season.
 The dressmakers do not care for this

fashion as much as one would expect. for they have to deal with the difficult problem of using their best customers old laces. It is not task for civil engineer to make flounces into mod ' ern clothes but such an expert seems to be necessary when one is asked to turn berthas, old lace frocks, scarfs and dolmans into gown that is as modern as tomorrow.
 the average mind gets a quick vision of fullness, of skirts that flare, but this vision should be instantly eclipsed by another which shows that every thing is scanty and nothing allowed to flare.
 they are put over slim foundations and they may soften a harsh outline. but do not contribute much to it's width
 Black tulle gowns nave these thread lace flounces on them. and they are draped over excessively narrow forms of black satin, and if there is any ten- dency on the part of the lace to fling itself out in defiance of the new sil- houette. it is promptly suppressed by a band of jet or embroidery which tucks it under the hem of the lower skirt and keeps it in order.
 THE SURPLICE JACKET
 Cheruit is showing short Jackets with fronts cut into long ends that cross below the bust, slip through slashes in the underarm seams and come out again to tie at the back This coat is already in America. but France is sending over, later, a dozen or more applications of the one idea.
 There are short zouave Jackets with ends that do not go through any slashes in the underarm seams, but frankly form girdle and tie in s flat bow at the back of the waist. If this Jacket is of dark blue serge or gabardine, as it frequently is. it has these ends tipped with bright scarlet brcadcloth or Angora cloth. to match the short, military collar taken from the English uniform.
 Angora cloth is used by France on the best coat suits. A piece of time- worn sweater. for instance. would pr3- vide an attractive accessory on q new suit under the ruling of this law.

upon the short wraps. They are made like attenuated dolmands. hey Tare of chiffon, of the new glistening Egyptian tissue, of satin lined or trimmed with fur and of embroidered tulle. They re- semble elaborated scarfs Some of them tuck in at the waistline in the back and drop long in the front; others go over the front of the figure in surplice fashion, wrap around the waist and tie with huge hustle bow at the back.
 They are worn in the afternoon over thick frocks; they are worn in the eve- ming over half decollete frocks; they have taken the place of many short, separate Jackets for street wear and they are seen at all the performances

Circles are made of this Angora cloth, as well as cuffs, and some short coats are edged with band of it In green, scarlet and blue. it is ex- ceedingly popular.
 Writing of sweaters, the newest one brought from France is made from baby ribbon in bright colors. It Is the top notch conservation sweater Not an inch of worsted is used. Franco has launched it as the successful nov city of the season, and it bids fair to catch the popular American taste, just as did those knitted silk sweaters and caps that were launched by Chanel in Deauville the summer before the war.

WHAT THE SHOPPER

That for spring coats the fabric par excellence is some sort of heavy satin or other silk, since it is an act of patriotism now to conserve wool.
 That to wear a silk coat does not mean that one must go cold, for fol- lowing the lead of the French design CTS between-season satin coats are made with an interlining of quilting, Albeit this is of cotton batting, 1t is warm.
