DARING PARIS GOWN
IS MISSING LINK"
Costume Has Real Tail Starting
in Small of the
Back.

Paris, Feb. l2.-What has been APP
propriately named tho Missing Link
costume is being shown at tho spripg
fashion openings.
Shortening of skirts On knee lengths,
cutting of bodices TO below the waist
line, abolition of sleeves and the adCp-
tion of phantom" stockings, have threa-
tened to reduce evening gowns to the
proverbial string Of pearls Fashion de-
signers were thus confronted with a serious
problem.
Unless some addition could be made
10 a womans $ costume silk manufacturers
were likely TO Ego broke within the year.
They therefore turned to Darwin and pro
duced the new model.
The Missing Link costume bears a
real tail, starting from the small of tho
back, gracefully trained to the ground
and tapering off with a gold tassel.
The same policy of saving the manu-
facturers from bankruptcy and at the
same time pleasing the present taste
which demands the greatest possible
display of feminine charms. Is respon-
sible for the adoption of the Egyptian
style, which combines the greatest waste
of material with the greatest effect OF
nudity.

to erect church in every center of
Baptist work.
1.-The people of Japan are ready to
listen to the gospel" recent report of
the field survey committee of the
Northern Baptist Convention says.
Their faith in the old religions is
broken. But the gospel must be pre-,
scented to them by men of their own
race who are competent to present it
in strong, intelligent way We must
have thoroughly trained japanese lead
ers and pastors who can command at
tention."
Careful consideration is being given
the housing of the Christian church in
Japan so as to win the respect of the
people. "a rented store in side street
does not command the respect of the
Japanese any more than it does of the
Italians in New York." the report
states. "our fine institutional church
building, the Tabernacle in Tokyo,
ought to be duplicated at every impor-
tant center, and attractive, dlgnified
houses of worship should be erected at
every other point"
The Baptists are endeavoring so far
as possible to develop complete indie
pendence of the Japanese churches, un-
der their own leaders.
