USE OF BRAID AS TRIMMING
Establishment May Be Effectively Ap. piled on Skirt, Jacket and
 Chemise Dress.

So much has been said of trimmings that it might appear that the design CTS imagination had been taxed to the utmost, but there are new things ap- bearing each week. In the way of using braids alone the developments are most interesting. A novel way of applying braid as a trimming is seen in the use of six strips sewn together and applied lengthwise in groups of three at the sides of the skirt, giving somewhat the appearance of plaits.
 Again, the skirt and jacket of a very smart blue serge suit show five very small gores, each edged with black braid let in at either side of the hip. Then there are chemise dresses braided in conventional de- signs from the waistline to the hem. striking effect is obtained by trim ming a black cloth dress of this type with fiat white braid.
 A frock of tobacco brown duvetyn has cape back cut in one with the sleeves. A most unusual trimming ap- pears on this cape in the form of two inch bands of cutout embroidery, through which the cape lining of crepe georgette shows. The cutout en- broidery appears again down the sides of the skirt. f.

crepe de chine, crepe mereur, er,u other soft silks. usually with a crepe weave. but with definite body" are being extensively used for bleuses for the fall and winter season. One of the distinctly new trimmings noted is pat ent leather in vividly contrasting colors. Appliqued motifs of patent leather are used as well as straight bandings, pipings and belts. One navy crepe meteor blouse recently seen. made on the surplice tie-back line, was trimmed strikingly with col lar and cuffs of bright red patent leather. The sleeves were full length and close fitting.
 The surplice "tie-back," made with a straight hanging panel back, is one of the new styles. The fronts cross at the waistline and the ends are drawn to and across the back panel, where they are tied in a bow Gr fastened with an ornamental buckle.

STYLES IN NEW
 GOWNS IN PARIS
Silhouette to Remain Same as It Has Been for Some
 Time Past.
VARIOUS FORMS OF TRIMMING
Shapinas of NeekIines and WaistIines, Drapings of Skirts, Shaping of Bodices, Among Fine Points
 of Finished Outfit.

Two gowns-one from Lanvin and one from Worth-show something Of the style aims of the coming season. Paris says that, with devious varia- tions to prove the rule, the silhouette shall remain virtually the same as 1t has been for some time past. It is to the details of formation and construc- ton that the artists in dress are bend ing the utmost of their talent. There seems to be no end, writes a fashion correspondent, to the new forms of trimming, the novel shapings of neck lines and waistlines, the drapings of skirts, the shaping of bodices, the handling of lace and the general usage of all the fine points which go to make up finished gown.
 While the Parisians are generally considered to be at the lowest ebb of their art when handling the making of suits, still in the one which Worth has designed there is every sign of all that is to be desired. The skirt is long and full enough in its width to make it comfortable for walking purposes. The peplum exhibits slightly more abund- ant tendency, which gives it the proper swing above the line of the skirt. The waistline is long, reaching toward the hips, and there it is further augmented by tucks that are Interestingly grouped. The fur is not too lavishly used and still it serves to accentuate the line and to add to the color combination, which, in this instance, is an antique green velvety cloth with black fur. The sleeves are an interesting feature of this not strictly tailored suit, for they spread open slightly at the wrists and allow the trimming to take it's way up the arm until it approaches the elbow.
 Ideas ef the French.
 The French people believe, always, that suit which deviates slightly from the strictly tailored variety is much better style than the one which ad- heres too closely to all of the masculine characteristics. They insist that it is, in the end, more attractively femi- nine thing if it always keeps in mind the fact that it is to be worn by q woman. And surely their suits remain as practical as ours, which must be more closely fitted, more hardy tail- pred. In some ways they may be worn for a greater length of time, for the

ACTRESS ADVICE ON DRESS
Character, Not Figure, Should Be Con. sidered in Matter of Gowns,
 Stage Woman Says.

Dress your character, not your fig 1re, is the advice of a famous actress and rather surprising this advice seems at first hearing. But think it over well and the excellence of the idea will appeal to you. Every woman has certain individuality of her own "a temperament, if you will-that makes her a little, or perhaps a good deal, different from all other women. It is this individuality-this tempera- ment-that woman should dress up to, according to the actress, in order to make the personality more marked and convincing.
 But an instinctive carrying out of this advice with no heed to the prompt ings of reason may result in disaster. For example, there is always the wom- an who weighs POO pounds or there abouts, but whose personality is dis tinctly kittenish. Is she to dress her chara ctar ar her fglre2 There is also

the very little woman who ought to De- long to the cuddly, appealing class. who yearns to be impressive and state ly. If she insists upon wearing the garments of the grenadier woman she may spoil her chances of being fas- cinatfngly charming.
 But between these two extremes there is very happy medium, and in this idea of dressing up to ones type there is also very valuable sugges- tion. The importance of refecting per sonal individuality Tn costume is ap- preciated by many women who design their own clothes and hand the designs to tailor, dressmakers and milliner to reproduce in practical guise. The ac- tress in her part is always dressed in conformity with the character she is portraying, but her costumes here is an important point-are made to suit her figure lines while express Ing special sort of personality.

TIMELY FASHION HINTS

Big plaids and little plaids are used galore.
 Formal tea gowns show long, cling ing lines.
 Many short jackets flare from the shoulder
 Brown net is richly embroidered with gold.
 Tailored costumes are mostly of plain goods.
 The newest form of sweater coat is a straight jacket of white China silk made of several layers and quilted and it is worn with a navy blue cape and skirt.
 Variety is the rule in the displays of autumn hats. They are made up in velvet, duvetyn felt and laces. Many of them are trimmed prefusely with paradise.
 The newest French lingerie is fash toned of fine pink and yellow linen. Another favorite note of the season is to be found in white linen undergar- ments with appliqued designs in col ored linens.
 Indications point to the long sleeve as the popular style for the new blouses. In spite of the favor shown to the three-quarter-length sleeves at the beginning of the season, the pen dulum is swinging more and more to- ward the long sleeve.
 Applique and eyelet embroidery are two new features of the smartest fall

CLOTHES THAT KIDDIEs LIKE
Youngsters Appreciate Having Gar ments Decorated With Pictures
 That Appeal tc Them.

Of course, when one is only six, one hasn't very elaborate vocabulary to use in expressing ones love for clothes whose trimmings are really in- teresting. The only thing to do is to insist every time mother dresses one that one wear the frock with the >ele- phant, pig, fowerpot or what not on it.
 And that is just what the kiddies do. They like their clothes to express all trimming propensities in the form of pictures with which they are fa- miliar, and they don't hesitate to say so.
 Mothers can sensibly gratify this desire on the part of their children by using only decorative pictures" for frocks. reserving animals for play clothes, bibs, aprons Cat least this will be a clever way to make the young sters like the additionally hated apron and bib ) and then not spending more time upon either the embroidery or applique, as the case may be, than is fitting for the importance of the garment.

 Chemise Dress Holds Own.
 The chemiSe dress, indeed, holds it's own in most remarkable way. Those who are returning from Paris say that nothing else can be seen on the boule- wards. Sometimes they are embroid- cred over every inch of the surface that shows, sometimes they are mere Iy trimmed with inconspicuous though c1everly designed rows of embroidered stitching, sometimes the embroidery displays itself in solidly worked bands of bright colorings, and, again, the chemise frock is made of simple, plainly woven and plainly colored silk or satin that has nothing but its line tits artistic and studied line-to rec ommepd it for more than passing at tention. A favorite method of embroid- ering the chemise frock is to carry the stitchings (hand stitchings they must

ing Feature; Gorgeous Linings of Costly Materials.

Those who know say the furs of the coming season will be more luxurious than ever before. Especially costly and attractive are the new coats.
 Of these the extraordinary large collars are a striking feature. One of the smartest coats shows a deep shawl color and panels in front and back. which are drawn together and held in place at the sides by means of cords and tassels of fur.
 Many of the coats show Things al- most gorgeous as their exterlors. The Things are made of costly satins and brocades and trimmed with elab- crate hand embroidery. In some cases the embroidery is used as a border

BLOUsEs FOR COLD WEATHER
Chiffon Velvet Comes in for Popular Favor for Late Fall and
 Winter Wear.

For cold weather wear a good deal of confidence is expressed in the popu- larity of chiffon velvet blouses. Just at present this blouse is being used more as a window decoration than any thing eIse but the fabric certainly makes up into an effective garment, and when worn with a satin or lace separate skirt a decidedly becoming "ftornnon frock is usually the result.

NeckIines Not So Low.

As for the neckline, that most i'm portant consideration in the matter of gowns for evening wear, they are not so startlingly low as they were a year ago. Indeed, some of the coutur- iers have made quite a concession in this direction and are showing neck lines that are conservative, while oth- CT dressmakers have made them as low as they dared, to suit their particular type of clientele. After all, Ghis point is largely a matter of taste.

 unevenness of their design allows some slight imperfections to exist without being too broadly visible.
 As for the Parisian idea of all that is lovely in woman's attire, there is the little Lanvin model for pertinent comparison. That has all the softness, transparency and grace that they con- slider essentials of a woman's gowning.
 The materials are black taffeta and tuIle, and the little flowers which are scattered carelessly over the surface of the tulle overdress are made of cleverly twisted pieces of the taffeta with golden centers. No, there is noth- ing decidedly new about this charm ingly simple frock, but its character is fine and it's tone is one of beauty in all that the French seem to be de manding for standard.
 Much lace continues to be seen on the dresses that have been exhibited at the Parisian races, where all the style tendencies of the season to come are put forward. One of the newest dresses seen at this time had a founda- tion of figured silk made in chemise fashion. with quite short sleeves and a rounded neck There was lace cape over the back and lace underskirt that showed for space of about five inches beneath the silk hem of the gown. It was a graceful thing, with

breaches ON
REPENTANCE"
Large Congregation atNew-
port Baptist Church ms
pired by Sermon

Rev Walter c. Carroll gave ser
mon on ''Repentancc" before large
congregation at the Baptist evange-
listic services in Newport Thursday
night. He took his text from Acts
3:19 and said in part:
Repent yc therefore, and be con-
vcrted, that your sins may be blotted
out" To whom does this call to re-
pcntancc round forth? To ALL "We
have all sinned and come short of
tho glory Of Cod There is nothing
to be gained by side stepping this
truth. We have sinned therefore we
must repent.
Repentance is necessary to pardon.
Pardon means restoration to favor
The wilful sinner is out of favor with
God. If he sincerely repents, God
will pardon him of his past sin, but
not until then. God desires to forgive
all, but it is ethically impossible for
them to do so, because to pardon
those who have no desire to mend
their ways would throw the moral
order inIo chaos.
Repentance is necessary to faith
No sincere person can exercise real
faith in God, the faith that saves un-
less he knows in his heart that he
is ready to turn from his sins. You
cannot expect God to become a party
to your evil doings. We have absol-
utely no claim upon His mercy and
therefore find it impossible to accept
Christ as our Savior while we con-
tlnue in sin Sinle5s perfection can
not be attained here, but it must also
be remembered that sinful Chris
tian is an abomination to the Lord
Clean living, sincere effort to please
God, earnest activity in behalf Of
othcrs,-these things are possible to
all, and will inevitably follow true re-
pcntance that make psossible saving
faith.
Now repentance, evangelical repcn-
?ance, is something more than mere
remorsc or regret for sins committed
1t is something more than the emo
tion aroused by the fear of punish
ment. Judas was overcome by re-
morse after his hcnious deed, and he
went and hanged himself. Peter, af-

TUBERCULOSIS
HOSPITALS
GREATLY NEEDED
DR.. Slocum Urges Institu-
tons in the Counties
of Vermont

At the meeting of the executive
committee of the Vermont Tubercu-
losis Association in Burlington We'd
nesday night II. S. Slocum, executive
secretary, pointed out that there was
every probability that within a few
months the State of Nemont would
have no hospital accommodation for
tuberculosis patients too far advanc-
ed to be admitted to the sanatorium
at Pittsford. Up to the present time
Vermont patients have been placed in
hospital in Massachusetts and an
other in New Hampshire.
Mr.. Slocum stated that he had TAX
en- this matter up with the Chairman
of the Washington County Hospital
Commission. Washington County
has voted to bond itself $4,000 for
the construction and equipment of a
county tuberculosis hospital and the
site for this hospital has been pur-
chased. However, during the war the
Government opposed using material
for the construction of the hospital
and since the war the price of build
ing material has increased to such an
extent that the $4,000 will not build
the kind of an institution proposed
There Is a farm house on the site
purchased for this hospital and as
soon as the snow goes Off f. G. How
land Of Barre will call meeting of
the County tuberculosis Hospital
Commission and a representative Of
the State Board of Health and of the
Vermont tuberculosis Association to
investigate this building with the
purpose Of making such alterations as
will make it possible to accommodate
II patients.
Mr.. Slocum fuTther stated that this
matter had been taken up with the
State Board of Health and the fol-
lowing plan had been approved by
he Board: first, that under the law
enabling counties to construct tu
berculosis hospitals, agitation
should be begun at once for four dit
feyent counties to bond themselves
for enough money to purchase suit
able residence near large village
which can be adapted into tubercul-
osis hospital for some eight or l.
patients; that each of these hos
pitfalls should be in charge of reg
istered nurse and a care-taker AMI
that by special arrangement with
the physicians of the nearby village Il
should call once every day
and oftener when needed 1t is esti-
mated that the expense in construct
ing such a hospital would be between
ten and fifteen thousand dollars AMI
that while there would be the facil
tiles for special treatment that a more
elaborate hospital would have, the
patients would be made comfortable
and the danger Of injecting other
people were removed. Moreover,
when the Washington county builds
its more elaborate hospital cases re-
quiring special treatment could be adj
mitted to that hospital.

ter should be voted on by each town
