ST. PAUL FAVORED
WOMEN PREACHERS

That st. Paul did not forbid wom-
en- to preach was maintained by
Miss X. Raleigh, in a lecture before
the Women's Freedom League in
London.
By the removal of a few dots and
commas, said the lecturer, IL could
be proved that the apostle did not
forbid women to preach, and did not
command women to obey their hus-
bands. nor insist that ever and aye.
whatever the fashion of the coun-
try, they should wear hats in
church.
Neither did he say that women
should never wear jewelry and fine
clothes. He only bade them leave
their jewelry at home and dress
plainly when they were preaching
or setting out on missionary jour-
neys.
The correct translation of the
word obey" in the sentence "wom-
en-. obey your husbands" was be
considerate to-" Women were COM
manded to cover their heads, for
the same reason that men were to
uncover their heads in church-be-
cause II was the custom of that
time.
Miss Raleigh contended that
women were never forbidden to
preach. Not everybody was allow
ed to teach, but anyone, man or
woman. could preach. according as
he or she was inspired.
The command that women should
not speak in church, but ask their
husbands for instructions at home,
translated correctly. meant that
they should not chatter in church,
but, IL they wanted news, ask at
home.
It was preposterous to suppose
that women would ask for Christian
instruction from husbands who
were frequently Pagans or Jews.
1t was something like asking an
anti-suffragette husband to tell his
wife what the suffragettes had
done.

4By MARyoRIE..

Designers Of the materials for
spring and summer gowns seem to
have gone to the book shelves for
their Inspiration. Printed silks
the piece do resistance of all spring
fabrics-and the designs upon most
of these silks exploit some we'll
known story or book character. Al
though museums are still flooded by
designers who nab ideas from old
period costumes, pottery. or Jewels.
the Public Library Is now beginning
to feel the influx of designers in
quest of good pictorial materials as
found in stories. and also In search
of names for their various bookish
patterns.
Thus, one house is putting out a
spring line Of printed georgettes and
radium silks. The designs are SIM
pie, small, and conventional. Most
Of the prints are two or three color
checks, intertwined with a floral
motif. or "a tiny geometrical series
Of octagons and diamonds may form
the pattern. This Is called the Lilli-
putian series, and the same houses
contrasting line Of huge and ornate
prints Is called the Gulliver.
Designers are emphasizing tho
Russian motif and col6ring. 1t ia
laughingly prophesied that the great
flood of Slovak literature will ebb
a bit now that the clothiers are
swooping up this same atmosphere.
Instead of cultural clubs, reading
and raving Of Tolstoi and Turge-
nieff. we will have the same clubs
wearing this Atmosphere"
The Samovar. Vodka. Sledge, and
Peasant are the names of four very
colorful Russian silks. The designs
do not resemble the names, but col
oring and line is Influenced by Rus
sian costume and church embroid-
cries.
These designs are in dull green
blues, and brighter hues of cerise,
orange, flame. and jade upon black
backgrounds. AS many as a dozen
different colors are used in one
printed pattern.

most strong in the new spring silks,
