WITH an assured confidence in
wv its success, manufacturers OF
blouses have presented again the
blouse of geprgette crepe with en-
broidery Of beads, In both overblouse
and tuck-in models. Nearly all the
fancier blouses are made in the first
mentioned style and cut with either
kimono or set-in sleeves.
1t Is natural that so beautiful q
fabric as georgette crepe should have
an army Of deyotees, but there are
other materials in the running which
will gain as the weather grows cold.
Crepe de ~c1fne and crepe satin are
also wonderfully beautiful in texture
and not so sheer as georgette. AS a
rule, they are selected for the less
fancy blouses Georgette lends itself
so well to novel effects that designers
like to work with 1t, and the demand
for fanciful and novel decorative fea-
lures keeps them busy. For trimming
beads, embroideries and soutache braid
predominant in present showings-
both bugle and seed beads, give a
good account of themselves, and In
| girdles there is a new departure to
ward those not made of the material
in the blouse.
In this model an overblouse is made

of georgette crepe and handsomely
embroidered with seed beads in tGO
colors. 1t has a boat-shaped neck
bound with a'narrow bias fold of the
greorgette, set-in sleeves little longer
than three-quarter length with a band
set on and opened. The sleeve and
band are caught up In few folds,
held to place by small bead motif.
The girdle is made of beads and silk
cord.

Shirt of God in the Church.

There may be some who ask, Does
the Holy Spirit fill the church today
and transform the hearts and lives of
men as He did in the days of the
Apostles? Yes He does, when the
people of the churches become more
anxious for the gift of the Spirit than
for outward showing, when the most
earnest prayers are uttered for the
giving of the Spirit of God. In our
devotion to organization, and clubs,
and guilds, we sometimes forget the
need of the Holy Spirit. And yet we
know that souls are not saved by
clubs and societies, and concerts. and
by moving pictures at the evening
services, but by the presence Of the
Spirit of God in the church, In both
nastor and people.

SOME LOGIC; LITTLE REASON
Examination Papers Turned in by
Youngsters Proved They Gave
Thought to Questions.

Tell me all you know about CEN
taurs."
The response Of one boy to this
demand in Q recent examination was
as follows:
"a centaur- was ancient cavalry and
archery all in one piece. He could not
be knocked out of his saddle because
he didn't have any. being the same
person as his horse. If he needed a
stable he did not need tent, | do
not know which, and If he needed for
age he did not need rations, or If he
needed rations he did not need for
age"
Evidently the youngster who gave
that reply was of military inclination,
and had thought out for himself the
advantages of centaurs on the fighting
line. Ii was funny, but not unin-
| telligent. Less original, with only one
little slip indeed TO mar its accuracy.
Is the version of the schoolboy of the
story of the Gorgons.
"The Gorgons," he began confident
| ly, 'were three sisters that lived in
the islands of the Hesperides, some
where in the Indian ocean. They had
long snakes for hair, tusks for teeth
and claws for nails, and they looked
like women, only more horrible"
1t was a little Boston girl whose
definition of the minotaur has long
been remembered by the elder pupils
in the school that she attended:
'g6he minotaur was a large bull
which lived on tributes in a laby
rinth. He was mythical, carniyorou
and fond of young people,"

Washington, Jan. 2.-As = result OF
the petition OF David +. Houston,
secretary Of the treasury, President
Wilson has definitely concluded to
veto the joint congressional resolution
which would have restored the WaG

ed desperate, that they will make a
determined effort to retain the law
despite the veto. The resolution
passed the senate without a record

in q majority Of at least three to one.
That strength, however, could not be
mustered, it is said, in an attempt to

Columbia. S. c., Dec. 23.-The state
budget commission will recommend
an appropriation of approximately
s7.0O0,000 for the operation oi the
state government, its departments and
institutions for 1921. This will be a
decrease cf about two and one-half
million dollars from the estimates
submitted to it, which totalled S9,-

approximately II mills on a valuation
of between S44s,O00,0OO and $780,

timated by the state tax commission.
This levy, however. could be reduced
