DAINTY HOME FROCKS SIMPLE TEXTUREB ARE USED TO ADVANTAGE To Smid Up-to-Date Gowna Mutt Ba Skimpy, Slim, Youthful and Eter- >. v nally Fresh—Little Material • la Required. The young and good-looking business girl naturally pinesfor new and pretty clothes each season. If she must buy her wardrobe ready made she finds the outlay considerable, for all the ethics of business life call for quite good clothes. Hope comes with the price reductions that follow Christprhen everything falls from a third to a half of the former price. Then sometimes the most excellent bargains may be picked up in the way of exclusive dress models, distinctively winter hats, furs, etc. Knowing this, indeed, many business women wait until this time to do their winter buying, going along content with last year’s things, changed a little with home tinkering, until the great shops announce the bargains. This year there is a likelihood of finding the reduced things cheaper than ever before, as the very eccentricity of present styles will make shopkeepers chary of holding on to their wares too long. Tet more thsfci three months of cold weather remaih for their usefulness, and there is grea\ satisfaction in having the stylish things at last A tour of the shops already displaying cut prices convinces me that velvet dresses are to be much cheapened; velveteen, corduroy and velvet trimmed cloth will also come under the head of things the shops%ill want to dispose of at once. And how smart is velyet just now, any imitation of this soft and becoming material, so that even if the gown is somewhat shopworn, with a little fixing it will be wearable and very up to date. Costumes in materials adapted to other seasons will be dearer, but a warm gown, furs and a winter hat |ire the essentials now and so why take heed of the distant morrow? Here and there already one finds, too. a frock trimmed with a feather or fur band, the material a pale cloth or a clinging veiling, that Is Just the thing for the one smart frock a business woman needs. This purchase would be the best bib and tucker, the

WARM SHOE FOR THE BABY

Suggestion Which May Be Carried Out in Batln, Fine Cloth, Kid or Suede.

Soft warm shoes prettily embroidered always make a nice present for baby, and we give a suggestion for a dainty little Bhoe which may be carried out in satin, very fine cloth, kid or suede; the top of long evening gloves may be very successfully used for the purpose. The toe part should be embroidered with some small floral design, such .as the conventionalized wild roses

shown in our Illustration, and the shoe should then be lined with soft silk and bound throughout with ribbon, and finished with two narrow straps, on one end of which a button Is placed, on the other a buttonhole. The way In which the shoe is mounted is shown very clearly in the small •sketch at the top, and soles may be made In the same way with an interlining of flannel between the material and lining, the sides of shoe and the sole being seamed together.

Newest Mesh Bags.

. The girl who sees a chance of the long-desired silver or gold mesh purse coming her way this Christmas should make the prospective giver understand that her heart will be broken unless she gets the most up-to-date models of the mesh bags for the wrist This means an upper compartment in two divisions, the one containing a vanity compartment, the other a coin purse. >• • : These do not Interfere with the compactness of the bag and prove highly useful- # • t ,

The HOME DEPARTMENT

costume for half holiday visiting, Sunday outings with friends, the restaurant dinner dress. Along with it will be shown the skimpy street suit of coat and skirt, the jacket single breasted, youthful In slim cut, the skirt narrow, short and very girlish. This dress In a cloth or serge ih quiet color realises the dapper business frock long needed, and/lf it is at velvet, velveteen or corduroy. It may be the one good frock In the smart worker’s Wardrobe. For the grandest occasions elegant details may further set off the dress worn with plainer ones on usual days—a handsome collar made of imitation Irish lac% a white waist of lace net or marquisette, white gloves, fresh shoes, the SunSday-go-to-meeting hat and the brooch or chain.

FIREPLACES ARE POPULAR

Suitable Furnishings Are Hard to Find Owing to the Increased Demand. Open fireplaces have become so popular and are being used so generally In all the rooms of the.home nowadays that the demand for andirons has increased accordingly. Suitable andirons are not always easy to find, and freqrlhntly we see a beautiful fireplace spoiled because It has been supplied with andirons out of proportion and of an altogether inappropriate style. Sometimes, too, a luxurious big living room fireplace is given a pair of dear little old-time Irons which would" do exactly for a cozy little bedroom, while small fireplaces are furnished with huge, heavy, modern brass andirons. Authorities on the subject tell us that brass is suitable for the formal rooms, while the simpler apartments should have Iron, Upped with brass knobs. In a spacious hall, where the fireplace Is correspondingly large, the hearth looks well if a® heavy wrought iron grille, with tall andirons to match. Is used.

For rooms done In a quaint oldtime style of furnishing some of the reproductions of the Hessian designs of andirons, painted in colors, are rather good. One also sees occasionally andirons of brass and copper, in Italian designs—sea horses or caricatures of men add beasts. In roaming through the shops one is fascinated with the assortment of fireplace furnishings. A complete set Included a fine old brass fender with clsw feet, a pair of steeple topped andirons, shovel, tongs and the heavy rings to hold them to the jam of the fireplace. These would fit well into a modern colonial house.

Leather Jewel Boxes.

Attractive jewel boxes which make most acceptable Christmas presents are seen in green and red Russian leather. They are shaped like tiny steamer trunks, and have trays that are lifted on hinges and stand out on the side when the box is opened. This is most convenient, as it obviates the necessity of removing the trays from the box. They are lined with velvet, the green ones, in deep orange and the red in light ton.

High Belt Modish.

A gown of fonlard which had • cream-colored ground with goldenbrown figures has a skirt which seems to be one big puff and le caught at the hem into a wide pleee of solid brown satin. The corsage appears all belt, for the belt is so high that it extends under the eras. ’ ■

GENTLEMANLY BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPION

When a boy of any sort of family Jumps into the professional fighting game there is a wail from one or both of his parents which can be heard for miles around. Many a fighter has quit the game because a mother or father, kicked, but the father of Johnny Coulon, the bantamweight champion, not only permits the . gentlemanly little chap to battle, but makes his matches, and acts as his chief second, says a writer In the Memphis Commercial Appeal. In fact, Papa Coulon is the whole works when it comes to the business end of the matchmaking and fighting. Johnny Is Just twenty-one, but arriving at his majority hasn’t given him the self-sufficiency to try to run his own affairs. “Better see the old man,” is Johnny’s answer when Johnny Is approached regarding terms for a match. Papa Coulon is mighty proud of the gentlemanly Johnny, and when he passed through Memphis last winter he madei no mild remarks to the effect that his boy was the greatest little man that ever lived. The only other ring daddy was Jim

Neil of San Francisco, who guided the destinies of his son, Frankie. Neil pere was a turfman, but he loved fighting so well that when Frankie turned professional he left his horses in other hands and proceeded to be manager, .adviser, chief second and press agent for his kid. He saved Frankie, too, in his first professional fight. As amateurs there was a most lovely rivalry between Eddie Hanlon and Frankie Neil. They met twice in amateur tourneys, and, although Hanlon obtained decisions both times, he refused to admit that Hanlon could lick him. Under the pressure of back-and-forth talk factions formed for each and the wrangle finally resulted in Frankie and Eddie being matched for fifteen rounds in Oakland. Both were about eighteen years old at the time of the bout and both were out to murder the other fellow if he could. The Hanlon gang challenged the Nell adherents to a few fights al fresco, while the Neil supporters kicked a few wellplaced kicks into the countenances of the Hanlon tribe. It was one of the greatest fights ever seen on the coast.

Sporting Gossip.

Tom Lynch surely is In good stand* ing in the Come-Back club. Oliver Drew, the handball champion, is playing soccer football in St. Louis. Umpire Billy Evans is much impressed with the ball playing of the Cubans. . Now President Murphy aayw Chance wouldn’t have Pitcher McQuillen at any price. Prank Gotch shows all the symptoms of a champion who is beginning to prepare to “come back.” Christy Matbewson is being touted as a likely candidate for the presidency of the New York Checker club. Christy Mathewson’s younger brother, Henry, has signed to pitch next season with the Oklahoma City nine of the Texas league. “O

The way the lightweight fighters are after matches with Moran puzzles one at times to remember who is lightweight champion. Eddie Collins has turned journalist and advises boys aspiring to success on the diamond to fight, hustle, work and nab every opportunity. Owen Moran may become an Americahised citizen. Why shouldn't he? Moran has been over here long enough to see the advantage. Jimmy Coffroth believes that a 20round fight between Battling Nelson and Jimmy Britt would be a good card in Ban Francisco about February. The fighting instinct, more or less highly developed in all good pugs, is still the most prominent characteristic of “Speckled Bob” the Cornish man. Now they are peddling a story in lowa that Frank Gotch really fears Mahmout. The Turk’s manager, how ever, is willing to believe that Gotch has retired for keeps. Once more "a Prlnceton-Harvard football galne Is to be arranged.' Well believe it when we see Chlcagi and Michigan on the same gridiron.Chlcajo Record-Herald.

CHASE IN CLASS BY HIMSELF

Followers of Baseball Game Argue All Winter Regarding Relative Merits of Leaders. .

It's a tough Job picking the star of stars for every position in baseball, bat fans are at it all winter long. When it comes to first basemen it is hard to see how there can be any argument. Chase is In a class by himself, but there are many National leaguers who argue that Chance is a more valuable man.

. Second base is the position that produoes more arguments than any other on the diamond. There are several great players in this position. Johnny Evers, Eddie Collins and big “Nap” Lajoie all have a following. The Frenchman on account of his hit'ting and graceful fielding should be given the preference over the first two. ' 1 ’ : T;

Devlin, Baker, Mortarty, Grant and Byrne are the men usually picked in the argument on the third base position. Several years ago when Jimmy Collins was in his prime there would have been no argument. The rightful successor to Collin’s laurels seems to be Byrne of Pittsburg. His speed and general all-around work should win him all arguments. At shortstop Wagner and Bush give rise for argument. Since Honus has gone back many insist the crown should be .passed to Donie. Catchers? The National league seems to have it on the American in thiß position. Kllng has always been regarded as the king pin, but he has a teammate, Archer, who is not far behind. On the work this year it seems as though Gibson of Pittsburg has it on both of them. Sullivan, Street and Criger are about the best in the American league, but they don’t class with the National’s stars. In the outfield there may be room for argument in left and right, but Ty Cobb is surely the greatest center fielder. Speaker of Boston is also a star of the first magnitude, and with him in right and Magee of the Phillies In left any manager would have an ideal outfield.

Who Is the best pitcher in either league? That is a great question, and at a quick conclusion most people would pick Walter Johnson of Wash-

Bobby Byrne.

lngton. But there is a man on the Athletic team who is pitching about as well as any pitcher in the country this year. His name is Jack Coombs. And “Chief” Bender is not far behind. The National league stars are Miner Brown, Mathewson and Moore. It seems that a team composed of Chase, La Joie, Wagner, Byrne, Magee, Cehh, Speaker, Gibson and Geemba or Johnson would be almost invincible, and still there would be days that an ordinary team would beat them. The all-star aggregations are not, as a rule, as good as a wellbalanced nine which displays great team work. The best All-National team would be composed of Chance, first base; Evers, second base; Wagner, shortstop; Byrne, third base; Magee, center field; Wheat, left field; Hofman, right field; Gibson and Kling, catchers; Brown, Mathewson and Moore, pitchers. The all-star American nine should be composed of Chase, first base; La Joie, second base; Bush, shortstop; Moriarty, third base; Milan, left field; Cobb, center field; Speaker, right field; Sullivan and Street, oatchers; Johnson, Copmbs and Walsh, pitchers. Two teams of this sort in a postseason series could take in the big cities and draw enormous crows and would furnish some interesting contests.

Penn Loses on 1910 Football.

Football at the University of Pennsylvania during the season just closed was not as profitable ah in former years, and the balance appears to be on the wrong side of the ledger. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Athletic association, Treasurer John C. Gilpin reported that the decrease for the season of 1910 from that of the previous year was about $30,000. Lest year the eleven is supposed to have broken just about even on the season.

De Oro Wins Championship.

Alfred De Oro broke his own world's record of seventy-nine balls for a continuous run at pool the other night in winning the world's championship from Jerome Keogh in New York. He ran five straight frames and part of the sixth for an 81. The match for the world’s title was in three blocks of 200 points each, making a total of 100 points.

The Risen Lord

’ f w • #' jfic is iiOK x 1(4*1 so*

fPgWffIgHRiST’S resurrection is the high water mark of M (ffiEm divine power, and tflj 1 raL«jg/VJ| the same level It will rise again to every Christian? The Lord, in the glory of his risen life, and in the riches of the gifts which he received when be ascended on high, is a pattern for os, and the power which fulfills its own pattern. The. resurrection of Christ is the crowning work of All that preceded had a very vital relation to his resurrection. Without the resurrection of his body, all the prophecies concerning his redemptive work, would have proven a failure, and the whole plan of salvation would have suffered an Inglorious defeat, the Father’s purpose In human redemption from time immemorial would have been frustrated. But in the resurrection of Christ, prophecies are fulfilled, the purpose of Ood vindicated, the whole scheme of salvation remains Intact, the world of mankind provisionally redeemed; and the enemies of Christ are confounded and eternally silenced, and Christ exalted and coronated as the Prince of Use and the Conqueror of death and the grave. Lesson In Resurrection. The resurrection of Christ is the divine seal of a gracious covenant, the covenant which God had made with bis ancient people; and the resurrection of Christ was the consummation of that covenant, and the seal fixed upon its accomplishment. The covenant was made with the Old Testament patriarchs, and in the New Testament covenant, which Is a covenant of blood, of expiation, of reconciliation, the former covenant having its fulfilment In the latter, the latter putting the impress of stamp upon all that the covenant Involved, from Its inception to its glorious consummation, in the vacated grave, in the world-conquest of mankind’s Redeemer, has become a demonstrated fact. His death upon • the cross was a federal offering, and It secured the blessings promised in that covenant; but that covenant became perpetually meritorious only as it had the ratification and God’s unchangeable seel. The atoning death of Christ was a necessity pot so much in a governmental sense, or of expediency! but rather as an absolute necessity, because of what God is in bis divine nature as being just, and man in his nature as being sinful and guilty before him. So that the resurrection of Christ was a necessity for man's justification, even as bis death was essential to man’s reconciliation. The resurrection of Christ is the voucher of the resurrection unto eternal glory of all his saints. “In Christ’s resurrection we see what man may become, and what his followers must become.” The pledge of the believer’s resurrection Is in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The truth is lucidly and conclusively illustrated in Paul’s matchless resurrection chapter, which chapter, Joseph Parker has significantly called “the thunderburst of the resurrection/’ Because Christ lives the Christian llvos, because Christ conquered sin, Satan, death "and the graven the Christian likewise will be crowned even “more than a conqueror through him that love them.”

GOD’S CALL ON HIS CHILDREN

Few Even of Those Who Beek Him Are Prepared When He Makes His Visit. When we are expecting a friend to come into our homes, even if he is going to spend only a day or two. we are careful to put our houses in order, and exert ourselves to make him comfortable while he is our guest. If we have invited him, we owe it to him, and we owe it to ourselves, to entertain him to the very best of our ability. We give him the best room, the easiest chair, and neglect nothing that would add to his comfort. We invite God to come into our hearts, and abide with us. We ask him to pour out his holy spirit upon us. We approach him with reverence and confidence, calling him “Our Father.” When we feel that strange warming of the heart which heralds his approach, we hesitate, and shrink from the visit of God. If we would be quiet and open the door, he would come in and sup with us, and while be is here, we would hear the sLu small voice saying: “Peace* My peace I give unto you.” Sometimes we call upon God Id faith, and yet when he comes we do not have time to receive him. When he knocks we are "busy here and there,” and we do not hear him. We wonder why he does not come; he has promised: “Call upon me, and I will answer thee.” We call again be comes again, but we oould not watch and wait; we are asleep. Sometimes God calls upon us. Sometimes be makes us an unexpected visit. Sometimes he comes, wooing us, saying: “Give me thine heart.” If we respond cheerfully, and give Um ourselves, we will'establish a friendship which will lead to other visits. Some day when he calls to say to us: “It is enough; water into the Joy of thy Lord.” hsppy, thrice happy will we be If he finds ns ready to enter in through the gates to go out no more forever! —Mrs. Berth Cannon i.eamon, In Pittsburg Christian Advocate.
