dare to do right, in scorn of conse-
quence, because they feel their re-
sponsibility to the Eternal.
We talk much of democracy In
these days; and many weird con-
ceptions claim the label. But real
claiming their own rights and re-
specting the rights of neighbors, and
animated by purpose to seek the
common welfare-is possiblye only
where this lofty truth Of response
bility to God is the accepted rule OF
life. There has never been a democ-
racy that was not at least out
wardly a Christian nation.
And we definitely do most for the
cause Of democracy when we quicken
the God-consciouness of the people.
1t is really amazing that the pres
ent surge of democracy has not set
our times to vibrating with call to
return to God. AwareneSs of Him is
the seed and soil of democracy. In
public worship, and in Sunday
School membership, and in private
thinking we may express our faith
in the democracy which springs
from a sense of Gods omiscience
and omnipotence. If the thoughts
of the Nation are Godward thoughts
the foundations of democracy will
be unshakable.
A Child's Problem.
After an informal Sunday morn
ing service In our camp, an IL
year-old granddaughter came to me,
with tear-f1lled eyes, bluntly de-
manding. where is God?" Little
children think more about God than
do their elders And to think about
God-to ponder His character and
attributes-is the highest employ
ment Of the human faculties. Not
only in the night watches, and in
appointed hours Of meditation. but
also throughout the busy days, in
the interstices Of time. our thoughts
should turn Godward like homing
birds
AS We think about God-defin-
itely, deliberately, consciously think
we should beware of becoming en-
crossed in the petty and pitiful ex-
crescences which weak intellects
have attached to God. A lot of per-
sons are bothered about the lost 10
tribes Of Israel who were never
lost; and abuot the esoteric signi-
flcance of the pyramids: and about
fantastic. man-made numerology,
and kindred trif1ing topics that are
religion" Away with
such nonsense! Let us concentrate
our minds and our faith upon the
living God. who has revealed Him
self in Scripture. and in the per-
sonality Of Jesus Christ, and in his
tory, and in the lives of devout men
and women. Thus shall we grow into
His image.
This is the secret of successful
living. I'm His presence"-His hour
by-hour presence-"is fullness of
joy Look about at the serene
faced. placid spirits that you know.
radiant with happiness: are they
not the men and women to whom
God is reality, and to whom
Closer is He than breathing,
Nearer than hands and feet?"

Designers Oppose
Seasonal Colors
West Coast Fashion Experts
Favor Simplicity.

Forecasts of fall fashions coming
from the West coast place emphasis
upon simplicity and good taste and
would seem to put an end to seasonal
colors. Adrian would have you wear
white wool suits all winter, while
Milo Anderson believes that if heav-
en- blue is your best shade you should
wear it throughout the year. Almost
all like the dropped waistline and
the look of slim skirt below a
bloused bodice, and they think you
Will welcome this silhouette as a
change from the fiared and fitted
fashions of last fall.
The shirtwaist style is favorite of
Orry Kelly, who uses it for day in
wool, broadcloth or flannel, for eve
ming in serge, always blousing the
waists. He prefers tailored fabrics
for evening gowns, and does one in
white broadcloth with revers accent
ed by silver spray framing a deep
v-decolletage.
Edith Head, too, uses the bloused
shirtwaist style for everything from
a tailored wool street dress to an
evening gown embroidered with
beads. She likes a covered-up look
in evening dresses; capes; lumber
jackets trimmed with furs, and such
colors as terra Gotta, dark green,
black, yellow and brown.
Adrian prophesies the return of
the short coat in fall and winter
suits, but believes that the fnger-tip
length will be dominant this season.
He combines two fabrics or two col
ors or brightens dress-maker suits
with embroidery. He uses the slim
short skirt with an inverted pleat or
slit at the front, and places back
fiared swagger sports coats over
suits with straight skirts. He likes
large hats and draped evening gowns
rather than bouffant skirts.
Slight flares distinguish the skirts
done by Travis Banton, who would
have you wear them 18 inches from
the ground. The jackets to his suits
SAN ilIOobly olIOl anu IlOI severely
tailored, with unusual decorative
fastenings. When long fitted jackets
are used on daytime suits the skirts
below them are an inch longer. His
evening wraps follow the lines of a
tunic, with fairly wide effect in
the bodice, shaped or tied waist
line and fullness in the skirt, which
is above the knee in length.
Styles are returning to 1914, ac-
cording to Howard Shoup, and you
may expect to see a modified YER
sion of the hobbleskirt, the fur stole
and the feather boa styled like a
shawl. Milo Anderson uses high col
ors and shows fur muffs with al
most every costume. Dolly Tree
combines black with lemon yellow
and shows shorter skirts, longer
jackets and draped lines for after
noon and evening.

The college girls what-to-wear
