to seize and make his own the earth and the kingdom thereof, when the se- clusion of monks garden and study of the Psalms would seem more becom- ing to his advanced years.
 Then there is our own dear William Jennings Bryan, With his incomparable gift for stirring up political agitation, and his cork-like propensity for bob ping up serenely as a presidential candi- him to bob; even the dove of peace, fluttering disturbed wings above his head, cannot wholly calm the turbulence that is his by virtue of his name.
 Finally, there is the Rev. William A. Sunday, who advances upon each city when he takes up his revival services with resolute tread and fanfare of trumpets! always the Jericho walls of opposition fade away and melt before his presence even in wicked New York and instead of the crowds being Mary's little lamb. they turn out to be Will liam's little sheep, following where he leads, and whether this is because of Whats in a name?" or not, the fact that his name is William and that Will liam stands flor insstence, aggressive ness, and dominance, remains just the same.
 President Wilson's name starts off with the three letters of this triumphant appellation, while one of Europes great est sovereigns, Queen Wilhemina of Holland, bears the charmed name.
 Whats in name?" A whole lot of things; Juliet was very young and in- experienced when she ventured that seemingly silly observation, but she spoke with more discernment and intui- tion than many older heads.

New York, January 15.-once, many years ago. when there was peace or tho planet, Mrs. William K Wander bilt, Sr., appeared at the races in Paris Tn q gown of Burgundy cloth made by Paul Poiret. The coat was short, and the back was in the form of rip bling cape.
 Journalists buyers and camera folk took instant recognition of this new fashion and here and there women were sufficiently interested and pleased With it to incorporate the idea into their own costoumery.
 A year ago this jacket was revived France was under the pressure of the government to limit the use of mate rials that had wooden threads in them, and her efforts toward cooperation with the government produced a new silhouette and a new type of apparel
 IT HIDES THE FIGURE
 We of the reportorial segment told the American public of this over and over. but lavish of wool and not clear ly lined up against the full skirt, the manufacture and the dressmakers did not adopt the Paris idea
 Now they will have to.
 The slim silhouette is the thing None must cavil at it. It means patri- otism.' If it doesn't mean grace there is way of getting around the ques- tion by putting in strokes of material that give the impression of fullness and grace without breaking ones faith with the government
 The slim skirt and the short jacket; these are the two outstanding features Of the iqcoming January fashions. That France will throw all her strength into this measure when she has her open ings in February, there is no doubt, but, in the meantime, we must buy and make new clothes not only for ne- cessity, but to keep the vast amount of money in the countr yin circulation through the channels that provide bread and butter to other women.
 A DOMINANT FEATURE
 The short jacket is not always grace ful when it is slim of line. If 1t has the rippling contour of a cape, especially at the back, 1t destroys any awkward lines that the figure beneath may pos sess. and it accentuates only the beau- ty of line in slim, curved figure. So there is no reason to avoid 1t, whether you tip the scales at too little or too much. You don't have to eat and grow thin in order to be able to wear such a costume, as you would have to do if you were to follow the law laid down by some of the French dressmakers this season.
 The short jacket, with it's ripplng cape back, is only a part of a strong, influential movement toward the loose background dropped behind a woman's figure. 1t is shown throughout the gamut of clothes this month. The woman who looks upon it wisely and well and realizes why it is done and what defects 1t covers, both in the gown and in the figure will prove herself woman of sense and sensi- tiveness to incoming features of fash ion.
 The jacket that ripples all around the figure is as cold as an unheated stone house. but the jacket that rip pies little in the back and has

At the Lyric

The Lyric programme is proving un- usually pleasing to Birmingham thea tregoers and it is featured with high class and excellent attractions. Henry T. Toomer and company in "The Head liners" are furnishing much entertain- ment in the satire on stage life. The act is highly entertaining. Vera Burt and her Virginia Dancers are one of the distinct features of the programme They are clever and render a most interesting and entertaining number. They present clog dances, soft shoe dances, eccentric dances and do it well. Jack Marley in a monologue keeps the audience in a fine humor and is 8 funny entertainer. Long and Ward are excellent singers and the Joseph DeKos company are capable acrobatic hand balancers. The Mutual news pictures are a feature.

What In Name" When It

WATHATs in name'" asked Juliet MW Capuet, signing in loves gar V den in the ancient city of Ve- roma and Romeo with the infatuation of a 1ovelorn swain immediately declared himself "new baptized
 After all, a good deal of atmosphere seems occasionally to accompany an oth- erwise commonplace name, so it's nat ural it would seem, to ask Juliet-like What's in a Name?'
 Take the name of William, for in- stance; just at the present time-the great wartime period-that name would
 indicate the most insistent personality of the world; also it is a name which lends itself gracefully to variations.
 There was the youthful hero of Eugene Fields Just Before Christmas" who declared:
 Father calls me William; sister calls me Will,
 Mother calls me Willie, but the fel- lers call me Bill.''
 William" which signifies forceful- ness.
 Ever since William the Conqueror went storming over England and scattered the Saxons hither and thither upon the battlefield of Hastings, his name has been a synonym for dominanee-some- times aggressive, sometimes insistent. but always dominant.
 While the fellers call him Bill, the goat with his .'butting in" proclivities, was doubtless originally christened Will liam.
 In Lewis Carroll's parody of Robert Southeys poem, Father William that ancient gentleman in spite of his gray hairs, appears to have retained a puyil- istic mental attitude, and an athletics knack of throwing his opponent else why should he hint of getting rid of tire- some questioner, by such drastic meth- ods as a quick kick downstairs?
 Also-what about William Shakespeare, who still holds his own as master of English drama, in spite of any claimants to his fame?
 There was, indeed, brief period when the name of William took on a>tender significance when fragrant Aower know as Sweet William opened tS the sun; then there was Billy Boy of lyric environment and domestic turn profi- cient in the housewifes art of making cherry pies;' but those are among the "has-beens."

as shown in the sketch, there is a tight fitting vest made on the order of mans waistcoat, but sleeveless, which is nothing more than part and parcel of the skirt, and it hugs the figure tightly and keeps out the chill winds that might find their way be- meath the rippling back of the jacket
 The whole suit is made of velveteen, in deep beige color which is easy for the dyers to produce and which will therefore be very much used The skirt is slightly draped upward toward the back, in order to take away the ugliness that might arise from too scanty a use of material. It. like the jacket, has bits of primitive embroid- cry done in old pink and blue, deep yellow and black. The position col lar, the hem at the back of the jacket, the cuffs and the canteen huff are of beaver.
