THE NEWEST IN EVENING COATS
Evening Wraps Are Either
Very Fancy or Quite Plain.
Made Of Gorgeous
Materials.

"HE Japanese Coollie Coat.
ever since its fashionable
debut last Summer, has
continued in popularity. In cot
ton it appears as an abbre-
Waited bathing coat and looks
very smart and trim In its bright
colors and Japanesque designs.
Evening wear. however. sees
these eoollie coats described in
soft Japanese crepes, usually
lined with a contrasting color
and decorated with a medallion
design in the center back. They
are perfectly acceptable for
town wear, but are much more
appropriate when worn out Of
town at a mountain or sea
resort. There's no particular
reason for this, except that
they're a little informal for the
correct town mode
Another variety Of wrap in
favor at the moment Is the
square metal shawl, which
drapes over the shoulder, some
time held with a buckle or
elaborate pin and ID worn
pretty much as you please.
Even more popular than the
metallic coat, however. il the
wrap Of transparent velvet,
which is often more amenable
to successful combinations with
evening gowns, and is utterly
lovely and attractive. One wrap
OF this type Is draped skilfully
from the shoulder to flare
generously into one huge puffy
sleeve, the lower part Of the
garment draping snugly about
the figure. A long velvet trail,
hung from the collar and drap-
ing somewhat askew to the right
side, adds beautiful trailing
length The neck band is made
of a satin standup collar that
runs down into the revers of the
wrap.

Uncommon Sense
Z BY John Blake
CREDIT

THE other day l listened to a very
excellent sermon by a celebrated
clergyman-a man whose ability is I'M
questioned, and who is power for
good in his community.
He was discussing the question of
effectively how they can be reconciled,
and abide side by side, each doing its
share for the betterment of the world
and the freeing of mems souls from
evil and superstition.
But while, in support Of his COM
religious writers-besfde those whose
words are immortaHZed in the Bible
--he borrowed literally, in talking
about science from recent book,
and neglected to mention either the
book or its author.
This, perhaps, would not have been
so subject to criticism had he not
unwittingly no doubt-conveyed the
idea that the many facts which he
employed had been gathered by him
self through his wide reading AS
q matter of truth he spoke Of little
or the science side of his argument
that was not contained in that par
ticular book.
Its author did not pretend to any
erudition or reSearch-he gave all his
authorities-and told his story with
out asking any or, dit for himself. But
nj iftipo ctr of for CT n
from the volume, went on and on and
on, citing case after case-and all
of them, as was plain to one who
had read the book, came directly out
OF that one volume.
Now this Is not theft, of course, or
clergyman would not have used it.
1t is mere thong tlessness.
Yet il got for lin, in the eJes of
some of his readers, reputation for
wide learning which he did not pos
sess, and this was hardly fair. The
clergyman occupies peculiar posi-
ton before his congregation and be-
fore the world.
If ne is eloquent and able, he is
greatly admired-and what he says
has a real authority.
He must read widely, and think
deeply to be convincing, and he must
above all maintain his intellectual in
tegrity at high standing.
He cannot give page verse and line
as authority for everything he says,
but when he dips whole handfuls of
material from one book, 1t would be
more generous for him to name the
author of the book, and thank him
for having written it.
Scientists must depend on writing
men to make their work known. Few
writing men are qualified for this job
This man was so qualified He did
an excellent work. He rendered the
achievements of modern investigation
better than the investigators could
have rendered 1t.
