MADE WITH PANNIERS

SKIRT THAT 18 FASHIONED IN PREVAILING STYLE. ' 11 ■"" *■ Quaintly Pretty Design That Is Intended for Afternoon and Evening Frocks—Novel Lines Made Use of in the Tunic. Since draped skirts are no longer to be worn, we are left with three dis-

Embroidered Swiss and Taffeta Make This Quaint SurAmer Gown. tinct styles to vary as we may with different versions. These are the straight, narrow under portion, with a plaited long tunic, the plain skirt with a two or three tiered tunic, and the plain skirt topped by panniers. Of these the illustrated model comes under the last heading, and it is a style that is generally confined to afternoon and evening frocks. This quaintly pretty design is a pleasing adaptation of the gowns worn in the time of our own revolution, and were it made with the full skirt of that period rather than the narrow lines of today it might pass as a fairly faithful copy of the original. In a development of embroidered Swiss and turquoise blue taffeta libellule it could hardly fail to meet with the approval of American women. The taffeta is used for the blouse and pannier tunic, while the embroidered Swiss makes the skirt and vest The fronts of the blouse are left open over the vest with its large upstanding collar and are then drawn together with brown velvet ribbon. Brown velvet ribbons are quite smart right now and are used more than black. Long sleeves, wide at the armholes, are set smoothly under drooping shoulders and the bust opens over an inner cuff of Swiss. - The back is scantily gathered to a shallow yoke. The tunic shows the cutaway lines in front and is pouched all around with a brown velvet ribbon that ties in long loops under a pink rose at the waist. In some of the pretty pompadour or Dresden taffetas, very dainty effects can be achieved, made up after this same design.

FOR THE SOFA PILLOW COVER

Leather Postal Cards May Be Used to Make Moat Attractive and Useful Article. Nearly every girl has an accumulation of leather postal cards, which may be combined with unstarched burlap to make a very attractive pillow cover. For an ordinary sized pillow, about one-half yard of burlap is necessary. This can be obtained in dark green, dark red or brown. It is sufficiently wide to fold over to form the back of the cover. Nine postals are required, but more may be uSe if liked. Lay the burlap out

flat and pin the postals to the side meant for the top, arranging them artistically. Then “cat stitch” them to the burlap with heavy silk floss of any shade that will blend or contrast nicely with the burlap. Sew op the three sides and finish with heavy portiere cord, which can be obtained in colors to match the burlap. Everything necessary tor making the cover can be secured at any department .

COIFFURE OF THE MOMENT

Fashion Demands That There Shall Be Height to Add to Its Attractiveness. No longer can we simply part the hair at side or center and let it fall plainly back, to be finally rolled on the neck, or otherwise caught up loosely. On the contrary, there must be decided height to the fashionable coiffure, and this exactly at the tight angle to give the full appearance between the nape of the neck and the apex of the dressing, on which so much of the effect depends. Then, too, the hair must now be waved and beautifully glossy and its charming lines disposed In such a way as to give just the support and finish demanded by the millinery of the moment, a great change from a short time ago, when the ambition of the hat seemed to disguise the fact that the wearer had any hair at all. Swathing of the hair is to play an important part in the new hair dressing, not the mere swathihg of the head with a separate coil In the usual fashion, but the swathing around of the hair itself. It is very becoming when well done. When we hear of pompadour once more It is not the hair rising straight up from forehead and neck alike, but, rather, the hair broken by little hints of parting In front, and elsewhere swathed around the head. A frame or, foundation Is usually required to give to the head the shape and rising height that Is desired.

Jaunty Bows.

When the aigrette on the otherwise" “perfectly good” hat wilts, take it off promptly, for nothing so completely spoils the appearance as a shabby bit of millinery. In its place—if you don’t care to at once buy a fresh aigrette—use a jaunty bow of ribbon. The newest sort of bows have three broad, long loops, partially overlapping each other and extending backward, and one short loop extending frontward. They should be light wired and should center under a fluffy bar. i

SUMMER FROCK

The dress with its frills Is of pale muslin, with white lace on the corsage. The cape is of black satin,.lined with pink. The black satin toque has narrow lines of pink and black piumea.

store at a cost of less than 50 cents. The accompanying cut gives an idea of how the postals may be arranged.

Fur on Everything.

If there is any article of women’s clothing on which fur does not at present appear it would be hard to say what it is. Morning tailor-mades, afternooh toilettes, evening and dinner gowns all have their complement of fur trimming. Hats follow suit Fur is seen on blouse and handbags and slippers. If stockings are not yet furtrimmed it is Only because no method has yet been devised of placing the fur where it has any modest chance to show. The latest thing in accessories for dancing toilettes goes by the name of "garter ruffles.” These are fashioned of accordion-pleated chiffon to match the gown, and are gathered round the encircling garter. Their length depends upon the length of the skirt from the knee-lipe down. The chitfon Ijl sometimes finished with Irish lace, sometimes left plain.

For Afternoon Tea.

Here are two afternoon tea dainties that are served in the fashionable tea sooms that can be copied at home: Cheese Muffins. —Split English muffins and spread the inside surfaces with grated domestic cheese. Then toast them in the usual manner until the cheese is melted and brown. Watercress Sandwiches. Butter thin slices of white bread and lay on them cleaned sprigs of watercress, crisp, cold and not chopped. Dress thickly with mayonnaise dressing and cover with slices of buttered bread. Cut into small and convenient whs pm.

CHICAGO FEDS HAVE NEW KEYSTONE KING

Johnny Farrell, Clever Little Second Backed.

Chicago has a new keystone king, and his name is John. No, Evers has not joined the “come back” class. The new King, John the Second, is none other than Johnny Farrell, the clever little' second sacker who is creating a sensation in the Federal .league. When Joe Tinker jumped last winter and took charge of the Chicago Federal league club he did not have to look far for a second baseman. He gave Farrell’s record the once over and was quick to make a decision. Joe’s judgment was good, for Farrell has proved the wonder of the league, and there is not another infielder in the league, veterans included, who has anything on the Chicago lad. * to Farrell to Beck, that’s the by-word at Weeghman park, and with

OLD CUB MACHINE IS BROKEN

Frank Schulte Is Only Member of Team That Thrilled Thousands With Wonderful, Plays.

(By FRANK G. MENKE.)

The old Cub machine, once the mightiest in baseball, has been broken, never again to be mended. Of the grand old gang that thrilled thousands with their wonderful team work in the old days, while working under the Cub standard, only one still wears the Cub uniform, and he, Frank Schulte, Is slipping fast. Chance, Tinker and Evers, that wonderful double-play combination, is scattered in three different leagues, Chance managing the New York Yan-

Miner Brown is managing the St. Louis Feds, Jack Pfeister Is farming in Qhio, Overall is on the coast in semi-retirement, and Johnny Kling has quit the game for all time. Jimmy Scheckard is in the American association. Artie Hofman is with the Feds, and Jimmy Slagle and Steinfeldt have passed out of the game forever.

Cardinals Pick Up Star.

The St. Louis Cardinals have picked up one of the finest young infielders lathe gam* in Zinßeck,

little Johnny doing the pivot work it’s some play. John is fast on grounders, and his little stunt of making a throw to first while on a dead run is a corker. Farrell plays the ball. He does not wait for it to play him. It is seldom he bobbles and he is quick in recovery. What’s more, Tinker's star second sacker is a quick thinker, seldom losing his noodle. •, John is only twentyone'years old, and is learning every day, and he is one of the tow youngsters who is always glad to be told. With the willow John is consistent He is fast at running out bunts and he bunts when the pitcher is least expecting it. Keep your eye on young Johnny Farrell

NOTES of the DIAMOND

Ty Cobb Is gradually working his way to the top among the American League sluggers. * • • Larry Doyle, captain of the champions, thinks very well of the Cardinals* pitching staff. « * « Manager McGraw has become enthusiastic over Milton Stock and declares, him the equal of Devlin when Devlin was at his best. • * * Martin O’Toole, Pittsburgh's s22£ 500 beauty pitcher purchased from St. Paul, declares he has no fear of dying in a minor league berth. • • * Russell Ford, Buffalo's marvelous pitching machine, has gone on record as favoring Johnny Farrell in the argument as to leading second sackers. -«•••' -T' •• • * Joe Riggert, Brooklyn outfielder, who was snapped up by the Cards when the Dodgers asked for waivers, is a Kansas City barber in the off months. • • • Sherwood Magee has been doing well at short field for .the Phillies, but Manager Dooin would prefer a man who is fleeter of foot than the Phillies* slugger. ♦ * • Ban Johnson will have to hire a few more lawyers in order to get injunctions enough to prevent the Feds landing some of his players before the end of this season. Now that Cactus Cravath of the Phillies has formed the habit of stealing home, about the only thing left in baseball for him to master is to learn how to hit a pop fly. ,•• • , The attendance at the Polo grounds this year has not fallen off, so* there does not seem to be any truth in re* ports that this is a bad year for the pastime so far as New York is cox> cerned. • 4 • Moose McCormick, former Giant, and now manager of the Chattanooga club, was rendered unconscious by being hit by a pitched ball just below the left temple in a game against Atlanta,

BASEBALL PLAYED AT NIGHT

League Games In Saskatchewan Begin at 7:15 o’clock in Regina and Terminate at 10. Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan province, with a population of about 40,000, has adopted the mtfre daylight plan of moving the hands of the clock forward one hour. The change went into effect May 1 and will continue up to October l. As a result, the baseball games start at 7:15.* It will be possible then to continue play up to 10 o’clock. The crowds are composed of about three-quarters men and one-quarter women rooters, and average about 1,300 a game the year around. It is an everyday sight to see fifty or sixty automobiles lined up along the right and left field foul lines. And how these automobiles' do root! Every noisemaking instrument known Is brought into play to cheer on one of the home boys. A good play by a visitor also brings out a round of apt plause. A peculiar situation turned up at Regina a few days ago. In the ninth Inning against Saskatoon Regina had men on first and second, with one man out and the Score 5 to 4 against them. Jack Smith laid down a bunt which the pitcher, Cadreau, threw into the bleachers. Both runners scored, apparently winning the game, but, owing to the ground rule which permitted only two bases on a wild throw, Umpire Colgate ruled that only one run had scored, and the other could not pass third base. In the meantime the crowd rushed on the field and carried off the players, and it was impossible to resume play. As it stood the score was a tie, man on Second and third apd one out. President Fleming, to whom the matter was finally referred, ordered the game played over, owing to the fact that the crowd was allowed to rush on the field and prevent further Play.

TYRUS COBB’S CRACKED RIBS

Georgia Peach, Panned' for His “Vicious” Sliding, Gives His Own Version of the Matter. Speaking of Ty Cobb’s ribs, the result, of an all too strenuous slide into a base, reminds me of an incident concerning that wizard of the paths. Cobb has always been panned all around the American ring for his “vicious** base sliding. The Tigers had played this day at the Yankee park. As usual Ty had slid into some baseman and the evening papers had taken him to task because of his “deliberate spiking.” That night Cobb was playing billiards at his friend, John Doyle’s. The question of his base sliding was talked of. Suddenly Cobb dropped his cue,* and facing a half hundred fans —some for him, but -most against him —he said: "They say I cut men down purposely on the bases. I play the game to win, I can’t help it if they block my way. When I’m coming into a base feet foremost, I hawe the right of way. It’s the rule of baseball. But I want all you men to bear witness that Ty Cobb doesn’t do all the cutting down. Just look here boys,” and Ty sat on the billiard table and pulled up both trouser legs to his knefes. Each leg was cut from ankle to knee in a frightful way. Hardly an inch of whole skin remained uneut or bruised. “And they say I deliberately

cut men down. I’m spiked nearly every time I go into a base, but they never say anything about that because they don’t know about it J.’ve cried from the pain hundreds of times after games when they cauterized deep spike cuts in the dressing room. So you see there’s always two sides to a story.”

Cobb went back to his billiards.

Why “Rebel” Oakes Jumped. Rebel Oakes, now manager of the Pittsburgh Rebels, says that he jumped to the Federal league last winter owing to the fact that the SL Louis club —in spite of the fact that he played great ball last year, and had a good offer from the Federal league—' offered him exactly the same salary as he was paid in 1913. He adds: “I guess Huggins would like to have Evans and myself around that Card camp right now.”

Kenworthy’s Batting Record.

In one afternoon against the Tip Tops, Kenworthy of the Kansas City team managed to fill tn between idle moments with a versatile display. He made two home runs and a single, scored - three times, accepted. JI chances in the field without an error, was in two double plays, made one sacrifice hit, stole three bases,, and helped his team take two games.

The Christian Finding His Place

By REV. J. H. RALSTON

Moodr BiMe iMtimto, Oioao

TEXT—“As thou hast sent me Into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. .. . Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath' sent me, even so send I you.” John 17:18; 20:21.

two small words “as” and “so” as found it) the text, are very significant “As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” It Is not for us to examine into the counsels of eternity, but we know there was a purpose in the sending of Jesus Christ to this earth on the part of the father, and a willingness to perform that mission by the Son, who said: “I am come to do thy will, O God.” There are three phases of she mission of J 6BUS’Christ ■ that may help the Christian to understand what his mission is. ' 1. Jesus was sent to exemplify a perfectly holy life. We may indeed say that God wanted to show the world that there could be a perfect life in one wearing the human body. Jesus asked in his great intercessory prayer that his disciples might be sanctified through the truth, that is, made holy. While we cannot get along without the atonement bf Jesus Christ by death, we cannot get on without this holy life. Jesus challenged his enemies to charge him with any sin, and their testimony is on record, that they could find no fault with him. The moral glory of Jesus Christ is one of the best testimonies to the genuineness of his mission. The mission of his disciples Is likewise to exemplify holiness. It must not be negative only, the avoiding of evil, but it must be positive, and will come out in making the Word of God the guide of life, In prayer, In meditation and in a correct outward deportment according to God’s law. 2. The mission of Jesus Christ was also that of saving. It is true that we may think of Christ as saving us by dying for us on the cross, thus making a substitutionary sacrifice, but it must not be forgotten that while he was upon earth he was a soul-win 4 ner. He did not seem to be successful in his popular preaching. He gathered his disciples one by one; he won the woman of Samaria, Zaccheus and Bartimeus. He sought the people, those straying on the mountains of sin. His disciples in these days must remember that this work of saving is, In a sense, their chief mission. If the church would arise in Its mission, the entire world of«manklnd would soon be brought Into submission to Jesus Christ. Yet, not possibly one out of ten is. a recognised soul-saver. We might ask in astonishment, Why is this, as the burden of responsibility in this text rests on Christians, and the promises of success are abundant? 3. ‘Jesus Christ was sent to suffer in the flesh, so are his disciples. We can never think of Jesus Christ as hilarious or lackadaisical, but as sorrowful, burdened with the sins of the entire world. He was poor,’and did not know where to lay his head, had not honor in his own country, was despised and rejected of men. He worked Incessantly, though hungry and thirsty and weary, and at last in early life was cruelly put to death. His disciples are also to suffer, yet most of them seek their own ease, and congratulate themselves that they are escaping poverty, hunger, and opposition of men. Jesus Christ was not, as John the Baptist, clothed with camel's hair, and otherwise a denizen of the wilderness, but in the midst of civilization he did not take advantage of its conveniences and luxuries. Would not the suffering that his disciples today should endure by willing poverty, soon give the gospel to every sinning man upon the face of the earth, and thus hasten the coming of the Lord? Sometimes we are called to suffer pain and sickness, not connected with our work. May this not be God’s method of purifying us? How few there are upon this earth that would be worthy of walking in the fur-* nace of suffering with the son of God, the fourth one in the fire! Christians , now are groveling, they are living on the limits of their privileges. Why should they not rise to the higher levels of privilege and experience? The answer to this question might be thatl they are not willing to live the life: that Christ lived, receiving the approval of God; they are not willing to give themselves to soul-saving, and not willing to suffer for his sake.

Dally Thought.

' When we ask God to direct our footsteps, we are to move our feet j

The failure of the church in these days is sometimes attributed to the wide prevalence of materialism, formalism, commercialism and departure from the truth, but may it not be in the members of the church not properly recognizing their mission, which is very directly presented in the text? The
