JOHN Another Large Audience Heard Lecture Last N ight —Tonight's Theme. Nature did her very best Wednesday | to bring pleasant weather for the uni- ' verse and to allow a much larger uuI dtdffce e 'cn than the previous night. . to he»r Dr. John P. D. John at the Methodist church when he spoke gm i the very appropriate subject, "A , Glimpse of God In the Human Body.” . Dr. John's lectures are highly appre--1 dated and the Methodist Brotherhood | under whose auspices he comes, is . highly elated with securing him. His aeries will not close until Sunday evjening. and he speaks tonigh* on "A ( Glimpse of God Without Eyes." In discussing his theme Wednesday evening he said: ”A title child walking one day in the garden saw the initials of bls name in the green cresses growing on j obe of the garden beds. He called his father, who knew the secret, and iaquited how his name came there The father asked him if it might not have grown there by chance The eh ltd emphatically said ’no.’ someone rnunt have planted my name there.’ | "The simple question of that tn noccut child is the irresisuble ques tlon of al! men: ’Who put His mark ( on the universe ’ If the mark to there, the marker must have been there. If there is thought in the unij verse, then there must first have been a thinker " The lecturer then proceeded to show by numerous simple illuatr* tions that we have the name right to Infer design from the intelligencr die-1 played In the plan of the universe. I that we have to infer it from the plans of human origin. “If the Brooklyn bridge shows a plan, it must have had a planner adequate to tta complicate structure If it exists infact it | must first have existed in thought If |lt shows a human plan, it must first tri i t-'ttan rlaaner.” | lecturer then took up la de <L» marvelous adaptations la the tmmaa organism, and went straight te the coaciusioa that th* human , hpdy is a plan If so. ft must be a superhuman idaa If it be a supechu TfiS tfUl ft must have had a super human alanner As surely as the Brooklyn bridge existed la though! before it existed la fact, so surely the suaian body exist ta t bought Mfore it existed la reality and It could have been the p'mn of no Otss lee* than aa infialte planner j “We have glimpsed but one littto comer of nature and te have found the Thinker there.

' THE~*PARCELS PORT I Best Method by Which This Most Popular Model May Bo Kept In Good Condition. Now that plaited skirts are creep Ing back to the realm of fashion, women who like to attend to theh own clothes will want to know jusl how to go about keeping them wal 1 pressed and in good condition. First of all, you must baste tht plaits in place just as they were whet the skirt was new; run a line of bast Ing on the outside edge of each plal' the full length, catching It down firmly to the material underneath. Lay 11 over the ironing board wrong side out, place a damp cloth over thf plaits and press with a hot iron untl the damp cloth is dry. Allow the basting threads to remain tn the skirt after it Is pressed for sev era! hours; then remote them, and your skirts will keep their shape and look nicer for a long time. / This same rule applies to all plait- | ed garments. AID TO ECONOMICAL WOMAN Fichu a Means of Giving to Gowns the Requisite Appearance of Freshness. To the women possessed of but ■ slender means the revival of the fichu I comes as a veritable godsend, for by , its kindly aid last year's gowns can be brought up to date. A fieftu of jetted net. flecked with ; emerald green or cerise, will quite , transform even the dingiest of black ! drvssea whilst on an ivory satin which has seen its best dsys a fichu ol deep ivory net will work marvels And now that such wonderful dyei nets and laces are to be had so cheap ly. no gown need be left out in thi cold, be its color what it may. The fact that the fichu is one of the modet of the moment should not blind us to that other greater fact—that though the fichu may, in a sense, suit every , one, there yet remains a certain type ! of woman who. if she be wise, will wear iicrs with a difference. Differ ent figures require not only different fichus, but widely different methods of draping. GIRDLES OF MANY SHAPES | Up-to-Dste Girl May Employ Hor Own Ideas for This Form of Adornment By her girdle's stylo shall you know the up-to-date girl. If her waist be not extra long and slender, she folds over, into two-tueh width, a strip of velvoL or satin sash ribbon and this she ties into a bow consisting of a ba: aad two quarter-yard long ends which droop frotr. either side of the common center which ia placed directly at the center of the waist line in front That's merely one oddity. A second te the girdle which goes once around the beck of the waist and twice across Its front then fastens at the left side under a cluster of velvet leaves. A third is the straight round peasant belt, reaching to half way under the arms and formed of perpendicular box plaits of the silk held down with narrow velvet straps. Lastly there te the ptat» velvet band fastening under a fobahaped strap finishing with a velvet rose. A combination of black and gold m especially favored in the new velvet day dresses. Some es the new shadow laces have their patterns outlined with a thread of me tai. , The most favored fabrics for little girls' dresses are durable serge and sashable linen. Among the new ribbons are combinations of warp prints with brocade and moire. Young girls are wearing the large shepherdeM bats 'with streaming ribboos and dainty Sow era Large gilt hairpins, headed by artificial pearls are very much used by women while motoring. Some of the new evening wraps combice fur, lace, chiffon and brocade la a most surprising way. Among tbe first fait bats small shapes are dividing the hcaors with largo, soft droopy shapea.
