Blouses in one color are enlivened
with rich girdles of gold, Or silver bro
cade. Embroideries in silk and in
beads, often used together, and oc-
casionally mock jewels and gold tissue
confess that nothing is too splendid
for the blouse which is to be worn in
the evening, and narrow bands of dark
fur find themselves placed to the best
advantage on lace and georgette.
Two pretty examples of the mode are
shown here. In one of them crepe
de chine appears with satin in an odd,
original model with woodbine leaves
in silk and beads, embroidered on the
satin. It has an apron at the front,
bloused at the waistline and bordered
with the embroidered satin. The long
sleeves flare at the wrist and are fin
ished with a satin band. Pale gold
and turquoise blue are, as always, hap

Blue beads give a good account Of
themselves as trimming and the
sleeves challenge us to pronounce them
the most graceful of the many styles
that help to make the season interest

HARVEST FESTIVALS OF OLD
Greeks and Romans Had Days of
Thanksgiving for the Fruitful
Gifts Of the Earth.

Greece, in the months of August and
September of each year, after the har-
vest had been gathered, celebrated the
great feast known as the Eleusinia, or
the feast to Demeter Of the beautiful
robe. Demeter, the great earth-moth-
er, was the. goddess of cornfelds and
harveSts. Her daughter, Persephone,
while gathering flowers one day, was
kidnapped by Pluto. Demeter searched
for her long by land and sea, and at
last learned that her lost daughter had
been married to Pluto, the dark spec
ter of the underworld, and that she
was now his queen in the realm be-
low. But Persephone had eaten q
pomegranate seed and could remain
with her mother only part of the year.
This made Demeter angry, and she left
the gods and made her dwelling upon
the earth. She taught Celeus, king Of
EleusiS, agriculture, how TO pillow, SOW
and reap. This feast was one of the
grandest of the Greek festivals.
The Romans celebrated a harvest
festival called the Cerealia. It took
it's name from Ceres, who was the
Demeter of the Romans, and the feast
was celebrated at some time in the
month of October. Sacrifices of the
best fruits and honey cakes were Of
fered up in the temple. Professions
were made to the fields by men and
women dressed in white and crowned
with oak leaves and poppies. Ceres
was represented in a chariot drawn
by dragons, her head Gro !. ned with
garland Of corn ears, and holding a
basket of poppies in her hand. This
festival was a general holiday time,
Coming down to more modern
time, we read of thanksgiving in Hol-
land and in England, the recollection
of whose harvest homes" perhaps,
inspired the Puritans to inaugurate the
custom in this country. The first
Thanksgiving on American soil, ac-
cording to the we'll credited chronicler,
Edward Winslow, was held in 1921, 10
months after the landing of the Pill
grims, when, the crops being garnered,
they felt spring up within their hearts
a feeling of praise and thanksgiving.
1t lasted almost a week, and was par
ticipated in by King Massasoit and
90 of his braves, who were Toasted and
entertained for three days, the new
corners showing their guests their pro-
ficiency in arms, experiences in wres-
Ting, etc. To show their prowess in
turn, ''the Indians went out and killed
five deer, which they brought to the
plantation and bestowed on the gov
ernor and upon Captain Miles Standish
and Others" a fine contribution to the
feast.

DAY OF UNIVERSAL PRAISE
yor All Its Blessings the Nation Lifts
Its Hands to the Lord in
Grateful Thanks.

Such sentiment as is aroused by the
great day whose yearly coming sounds
the note of praise for multimilliOn
souls, could not be set to poets verse
or framed in choral chant. Deep down
where underlying are the sentiments
that sanctify, reside the feelings GEN.
tering in the day whose glad advent
is tuned to thoughts Of peace and
praise to the one above from whose
wide-open hands bestowments come,
such as have never yet been known to
other nations of the earth. Into the
churches at the usual hour the wOr-
shippers will pour and from their doors,
when comes the end of praise and
song, will pass those wOrShipers again.
with loftier views and freer minds and
with their souls tuned to the senti-
mentS that are expressed from all the
pulpitS of the nation on the day on
which the people offer their thanks
to God.
For all the blessings to the land,
this day the nation lifts its hands in
humble praise; for all the blessings
to the homes the land lifts up it's eyes
to God in gratitude; for AN the signal
signs of Gods goodwill the land will
give its praise in thought, in word, in
act. Although the curtain of the flu
ture falls across the viStaS and the
prospect hides, no one has fear the
land will not be free from all the
harsh disorders Of thp earth and saved
to sanctify the world anew to the
pleasant things of peace and lasting
joy. For the bright prospect of the
nations use in the fast-crOwding years
to come, the people give their praise
and in their prayers they lift their
thoughts with faith to the Lord, who
says in perfect peace he keeps the
ones whose thoughts and hearts are
stayed or him. For all his ways are
pleasantness, his paths are peace, the
psalmiSt says.
So for it's cheer, for its gift of peace,
so for the record of blessings felt and
those in prospect yet, the people give
their heartfelt thanks, making this day
that sees other nations wrecked by the
battles effect, day peculiar for it's
cause for praise. And thus, though
sobered, will the cheer abound in
myriad hearts on this great day for
praise and giving thanks.

It is evident that blouses and smocks
are aspiring to rival evening frocks
and the chances are that they are 60
ing to succeed. There is no end to
the fanciful ways in which they are
made and nothing is too extravagant
in the way of trimming them. For din
ner and theater wear they have adj
vantages and they appear in brilliant
and light cOlOrs, and in combinations
of two cOlors in materials, with dec
orations that call into play many adj
ditional hues. The peplum blouse, the
apron blouse and the smock have a
gay future ahead Of them.
Georgette crepe, chiffon and net
with chantilly and gold-run laces new
ly recruited in their company are the
filmy mediums in which evening
blouses are made. Worn with skirts
of black satin they achieve a toilette
that may be worn with assurance.
Among color combinations, emer-
aid or even more vivid green's with
black are distinctive. Copper colored
crepe with gold lace, champagne with
black embroidery, peacock blue and
light green show the fondness for vir-
lie colors. There is a new sort of dec
Grafton that looks like the finest beads
work done in many colors. But it Is
a sort of paint put Oh in dots set close
together and APPEARS in motifs on
girdles of geJrselre like the blouse.

The Loving Cup.

The origin of the loving cup is
hazy. Some investigators have assert
ed that its beginning was the wassail
bowl, belonging to festivities ante
dating the Christian era, and that on
the advent of Christianity the custom
of wassailing assumed a religious as
pect. The monks called tie wassail
bowl the ''poca1um caritatis" glowing
cup). The ceremony of drinking from
one cup and passing it around was
observed at the Jewish pascal supper
and on other notable occasions.

Just how it happens has never been
explained, but it happens every little
while that certain style seizes the at
tention, simultaneously, of women all
over the length and breadth of the
land. Merchants wake up some morn
ing to find that apparently every wom-
an has made up her mind over night
that she wants one kind of fabric, one
particular color, one style. Just now
it seems that every woman wants
velvet gown, in addition to the satin
frock for which there has been a uni
versal demand. It seems that the
shops saw this wave of demand rolling
in, and that designers and manufac-
turers were prepared for it,
Designers require supple materials
for frocks and they have determined
on chiffon velvets in very wide widths,
and the finest grades Of velveteen, as
best suited to their purposes. These
are used for afternoon and evening
dresses. The heavier grades Of vel
veteen will answer for suits, but the
more flexible stuffs are liked for every
thing and chiffon velvets are in such
demand that they bring very high
prices. The best grades Of velveteen
are by no means cheap. By way OF
rec0mpense, velvet frocks are very
simply designed and fussy decorations
are conspicuous by their absence on
them; so that the minimum of goods
Is required.
These points are apparent In the
pretty frock for afternoon, shown at

wide, lightweight velveteen in marine
blue. This skirt has six round plaits
set on at each side-widening the hip
lines-and this arrangement of the ma.
terial is borrowed from a Paris de-
signer who introduced it early in the
season. Aside from this small vagary,
it is plain. The bodice has plain
back and surplice front filed in with
fesh-colored georgette. One side OF
the front is extended into soft girdle,
finished at the front with handsome
beaded ornament. The long sleeves
have a turned-back frill Of velveteen.
The small muff1er collar is separate
affair that swathes the neck in soft
folds and buttons at the side. It may
be taken off indoors.
Satin gowns reveal that their design
ers are more or less devoted to draped
skirts, the model pictured being among
the simplest Of these. In this frock a
smock of satin, split to the waistline
at the left side, is covered with a sun
burst pattern and points made of silk
braid couched on. The design is an
Aztec inspiration pure and simple and
a long girdle of satin ending in tassels
repeats it. A plain rundown collar
and deep cuffs of the satin are impor-
tant details in this frock and help to
account for its distinction.
