"WHITE SLAVES" IS
EVANCELIST'S THEME

The revival at the Christian church
is attracting large audiences and
much interest Is being manifested In
all the services. In many respects
last night was the best thus far.
There were eight to come forward at
the close, two to become identified
with the congregation here and six
to make the good confession. The
songs were spirited and the service
throughout was impressive.
Evangelist Brown spoke on the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit, claiming
that we are not baptized in the Holy
ISpirit as were the apostles on the day
Of Pentecost. Among other things he
said: MANY have wrong impression
as to the outpouring of the Holy Spit
it on Pentecost. The apostles were
not baptized in Him to save them, to
make them apostles, to make them
disciples or to make Christians OF
them; they were already saved and
were already apostles. They were
baptized in the Holy Spirit to qualify
them for their task, to bring to their
remembrance all that Jesus had
taught them. Those who were bap'
tized in the Holy Spirit could raise
the dead, etc. We cannot do that
hence we conclude we are not bap
tized as they were. He comes intt
our lives as comforter. He Is op
Grating through the word and Hi
disciples in converting the world.

rows of bone buttons run down the
back and front plain panels; and also
down the fronts of the coatee. The
smart feature of this little coatee is its
-cut-awayness, as one might say. The
armholes are slashed away generous
ly; so is the neckline; and the loosely
tied fronts droop away from the front
of the waist.
Gay Stripes Under Slashed Fabric
Another likable little tailleur for
early September days shows the pres
ent passion for gay trimming. The
short jacket opens in front over a
waistcoat of striped material, and the
skirt is not only slashed all down the
sides to show inserts of this striped
stuff, but part of the skirt at the hip
is sliced away to show oval medallions
Of the trimming fabric. This Is a
navy blue suit and the striped cloth
is cream, blue, scarlet and black.
Down the center of the waistcoat is a
strip of scarlet silk embroidered in
black and the waistcoat fastens with
black loops over tiny silver buttons.
Mother of pearl buttons are used on
sleeves and skirt. Here again is the
alienation Of pleats and plain panels
in the skirt. The perfectly plain skirt
is almost completely out-all the new
models have pleats. panels or drap-
cries.
Poplin Frocks For Tween Season

Silk popl!n is a good old-fashioned
material that is being revived for
demi-saison wear. 1t is an excellent
fabric for autumn frocks-cool and

surface that sheds dust. OF brown

The bodice Of this frock illustrates
the new fitted lining idea. There IS q
very dainty. feminine curve under the
arms, but the line across the front is
fiat and boyish. This cunning little
bodice, cut away at neck and sleeve
to show the cream net guimpe. is
fitted neatly into a waistband and be-
low the waistband hangs a draped
peplum of graduated length-a very
graceful addition 10 the costume. The
peplum and the gathered skirt Of con
siderable width give the new fare ef-

the waistband is tied a narrow. fat

Of bingham with pink stripes outlined

deep collar is of white linen. There

so that one may be removed and an

a week without laundering-longer If

Fitted Innings Again
When you hear that fitted frocks
are coming back. do not vizualize i'm
mediately scanned and boned and
darted waist-linings such as We're
worn ten or a dozen years ago.
The Innings of the new dresses are
curved under the arms and material
tightly drawn across back and front.
over this lining the bodice material Is
draped softly and the result is a figure
revealing effect-but with the figure
fiat youthful and boyish rather than
feminine. Long lines are still the
thing, though new frocks take a frank
curve at the waistline under the arm.
Front and back, however. must be
very fiat and slim looking.
All Kinds OF Frocks
This autumn you can wear a Moy-
enage frock. or a chemise frock. a
bolero. a princess style or a tight
bodice and flare skirt style. Fashion
seems to favor everything-so long as
the basic idea is as above described
the fiat, slim, natural figure revealed
by over-draperies that cling. Some Of
the new frocks have short sleeves;
others have sleeves 10 the wrist. Skin
tight sleeves that make the arm look
melted-and-poured-in compete with
quaint 1S40 sleeves in bishop style,
with tight wristbands disporting lit
tie frills.
Skirts are q wee bit longer. At the
races in Paris In July many skirts
quite to the ankle were noted, but
these were on very advanced models.
II is probable that the short skirt will
continue in favor for some months
yet. and that longer skirts will estab-
lish themselves by springer by New
Years. Who ever knows about skirt

There is a natty, nautical suggestion
about this suit with its rows of buttons

top OF the coatee and not to the shirt
