Mclaughlin had the mount on the best

WINTER AND SPRING MODELS
Straight Lines and Trimmed With Fur;
Jersey cieth With Long.
Tisht Skirt.

Hudson seal is the most popular fur
this season. Drapcd effects and
coatees Of seal. trimmed daintily with
squirrel, are very beautiful. Mole and
beaver still hold their own.
The winter suits are very stunning.
They are being shown along straight
lines and trimmed with fur.
And now comes the spring suit.
Fashion says it will be Of Jersey cloth,
with long, tight skirt.
Winter coats, box effect, are being
worn now, though coats are not so pop
ular this season, many women prefer
ring the winter suit to be worn later
with their furs.
Suits without blouses seem to he
just the thing now. Instead of a waist
vestee is worn, or in some cases Il
dainty piece of colored silk is tucked
In to give the effect.
Winter coats for the children are
made Of bright-colored broadclOth, with
the yoke waist.
The latest novelty in neckwear Is an
apron slipover made of georgette.
Fllet and valenciennes lace now trim
the daintier waists. while for every
day we have striped dimity and batiste
trimmed with tiny box plalts instead Of
the usual pin tucks.
A very popular shade this winter is
nut brown.
While hitherto black has been ta-
booed for the young girl. many very
beautiful and youthful dresses are be-
ing shown in black velvet and black
satin. Most of the dresses have just
touch of trimming.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

GOES BACK TO ANCIENT DAYS
Expression Concerning Fires Of Faith
and the Torch Of Religion Traced
to Fire Worshipers.

MY faith is like a burning fame"
many martyr has said when he was
being sorely tried. II may carry the
torch Of the true religion forward" is
ar expression so often used that 1t
seems almost trite Is it an accident
that many Of the most fervent religious
phrases are connected in one way or
another with the fire-image7
One Of the curious customs of Lithu-
ania gives a clew to the answer to
this question. Religion and faith are
expressed in fiery terms because most
of our ancestors were fire worshipers.
The tradition has outlived pagan
ism. has come into Christianity itself,
and remains most plainly evident in
the language we use when talking of
religion.
In Lithuania family councils are held
only In front of the hearth. All impor-
tant gatherings are connected with
the fireplace. The fire is never allowed
to die out. 1t is the duty of the old
est woman In the family to tend to the
fire, to cover 1t with ashes at night
and to revive 1t in the morning.
Why the oldest woman rather than
the oldest man? Because In pagan
days the attendants of the sacred fires
were always women, the vestal vir-
gins, whose lives were devoted to that
one task
When we speak Of the fires of faith,
therefore, or of the torch of religion.
we are barking back to the ancient
days. the days when fire was faith and
religion a torch.
