The girl with the sylphlike figure
can wear the collarless, straight-line
dress, incomparably well, with its
easy, casual sash or girdle-if she is
graceful. Therefore, dresses on these
simple lines always compel attention
and many times the hcartlest admira-
ton. But it is their province to mere

needs no nattcring. The brisk autumn

The fast approaching holidays turn

are not as fancy-free as In the past,
In the selection of Christmas remem-

out that II Is the part of patrl-

handled In transit. We are asked to
shop early and to send small parcels,
also to get them started earlier than
usual. The labels that read, "please
do not open until Christmas" ought to
be In great demand this year. Parcels
sent two or three weeks In advance
will help relieve the usual terrific holi-
day congestion and small packages
will conserve space and the strength

With prohibition for the period Of

bltion by federal amendment In effect
early In 1920 Gas seems sure), II may
be said that John Barleycorp will be,
after July 1st, 1919, forever banlshed

wishing him onto other and less ia.
v0red lands, the temperance hosts are
already engaged in a worldwide often.

from every corner Of the earth--the

place on sea or land.
AS for that particular unit Of the
temperance army, the National w. O.

after 1t has reached the goal Of nation.
nj constitutional prohibition. This
point is clearly set forth In an official
letter sent By Miss Anna A. Gordon,
president, to every state w. @. T. u.
We quote:
"Some OF our friends not close stu.
dents Of the temperance reform, are
short sighted enough to say that with
the securing Of nationwide prohibition
through ratification Of the federal
amendment, the work Of the w. G. 7.
U. will be accomplished and our &C.
tivitles should be directed into other
channels. On the contrary, we believe
we may rightly claim that our greatest
constructive work will then begin. Our
educational propaganda under the new
conditions Of nationwide prohibition
will become even more necessary than
In the past. All our educational lines
Of work that concern young people
and boys and girls should at once re-
ceive our whole-hearted, vigorous at
tentlon. The children Of today must
hold the prohlbitory law tomorrow.
The appetite for alcoholic liquors and
the avarice Of the would.be liquor deal
er will not become extinct when this
nationwide law becomes operative.
Locally we shall continue to be In Of
fensive and defensive struggles with
the direst foe Of the child and the
home; our best efforts will be needed
TO help establish substitutes for tho
saloon and to aid in the election Of
officials committed to the new law and
to Its strict enforcement. Our pro-
gram Of social service after the pro-
hibition law goes into effect will have
new and vital features and we should
be alert in our preparedness. With
added time and funds ut our command,
our fascinating and compelling lines Of
service among foreign-speaking peo-
pie; on behalf Of moral education |;
child welfare; the welfare Of women
in industry; the education Of women
voters; anti-narcotics, anti-vice and
many other important departments,
can be pushed with new zeal and help
fulness. True to It's character as pl-
oneer the w. G. T. U. will forge ahead
in the social service activities Of the
new dry nation and In Its mighty ma
tional and international program"

BY Faith, Not by Slaht.

So many Christians want to walk
by sight; they want,to see how thing
is going to come out. Jacob walked by
sight. He never could have gone
through the temptations and trials that
his son Joseph did. Joseph had more
faith; he could walk in the dark. Lot
was weak character, and should have
stayed with Abraham. A good many
men, as long as they are bolstered up
by some godly persons, get along very
well; but they can't stand alone. Have
faith in God to guide you, even though
you can't SEED. L. Moody.
