Transforming an American girl, reared in a, simple New England 4own, to pampered Russian actress 3s every bit as. hard it sounds. In S'Footltghts, Paramount picture starring Elsie Ferguson, coming to Ehe Park theatre on Dec. 29, this de- Nelopment is shown step by step.
 Lizzie Parsons. the American girl as played by Elsie Ferguson. took Two years of complete isolation and hard study % accomplish this feat Her entire life had to be changed She had to surround herself with Russian servants and teachers. In- stead of simple American food she Tor coffee, sine learned to drink tea. 5nixed with lemon and whisky, with tout sugar, and she had to replace her Rfter-dinner apple with cigaret es. 9Fhe hardest sacrifice that she had to anake was when her little kitten was aaken away as being too American and she was given a monkey an an amal that she loaahed, to make a pet Df
 But Lizzie Parsons succeeds, as Dnly an American girl can succeed, 4n the transformation. Her sham is hot discovered even by Russians FL sic Ferguson who is starring in the :t1icture brings to the role a keen in Eerpretation- Reginald Denny Is Reading man and others in the cast fnclude March MacDermott, and Oc- Gavia Handworth.

DECADENCE OF THE MINISTRY IS DENIED BY REV. ANDERSON
Ry Associated Frees


 winonR Lake, Ind, September f0.-- Claims of decadencs of the ministry were denied by the Rev L. D. Andsr- son. pastor of First Christian church. Fort Worth. Tex, in addressing the delegates to the international eonven- ton of Disciples of Christ
 The pulpit. which he said was once the chief source of instruction and inspiration now shares with other aeenoies- notably the school press and platform, the work of informa- ton and stimulation, according to the Rev. MT. Anderson. However, these agencies are to be regarded as sllisA not enemies, he said.
 After making due allowance for the changes in custom and condition. the fact remains. despite criticism. carefully trained and wisely directed, jealousies and jests and jeers, that the Christian ministry of today and his ministries compare very favor the apeaker said.
 Present Condition
 Present conditions do not even ap- proximate tho ideal" said the Rev. Mir. Anderson during his address. Lees than half of the membership Is sven nominally active. If all were carefully trained an dwisely directed. vastly more could be accomplished
 There are not nearly enougn min- isters to go around All Indications point to a greater shortage. At pres ent the field is under manned and the force is overworked."
 The speaker advised multiplication of the number of workers within con sregations. to make possible the re- cruiting, sheep 6erding and mobil- izing of an ever increasing member ship. With special technical training, he said. each along lines of individual taste and talent "a corps of workers can be marshaled who will give themselves generally if not exclu- slvely, to such distinctive tasks as pupit and ministry. teaching, organi- zation- visiting, business manage mont recreational and benevolent and other social activities, and so throughout the entire gamut Of Christian service"

in black velvet lined with white and having . heavy silver cord with biz tassels as . neck finish. These heavy eords of silk or metal arc much used on winter wraps, even on the palmer day coats. The feature of this cape is that 1t is cut perfectly straight, but the loose ends at the front, which are left free for about fifteen inches, allow the front edges to fall in cas- cading panel effect. The coat is unique in that 1t has straight, broad panel of chnging white satin at the center back. while the front Is faced with black velvet. This Is one of Jenny's newest models.
