THE GREATEST SIN. Many people persist In believing the world I "going to the devil." Thej find evidence supporting this belief in almost everything entering Into modern life. Some of them are consistent enough to try to find remedies for the evils of the times, but others satisfy themselves in simply denouncing the evils and letting It go at that. According to their way of thinking they have thereby discharged their full duty and others may find remedies if they want to do so, Fays Grit It 1 these "let-George-do-lt" people who are not merely Vecreant In duty but ' responsible, directly or Indirectly, for some of the evils that exist. They constantly emphasize the fuct that If they, and all like them, did their full duty there would be less evil In the world. The greatest sin of these times Is disregard of plain duty, especially duty to self, to the communlty, and to woclety at large, and It's high time that the "O. Lord, I thank Thee" people In this country wert Imitating the poor publican, If they can do nothing more. It Is Indeed the day of the nlrplnne; and If some of the new uses fur It In civil life seem humdrum after such feats as the transatlantic and transcontinental flights, that cannot be said of the latest plan by which It may accompany the bold adventurers who propose to scale Mount Kverest, says Christian Science Monitor. The proposal Is to make an organized uttempt, the Iloyal Geographical society, the Alpine club and the Survey of India Joining forces and dividing the labor, the actual climbing naturally falling to the Alpine club and the technical work to the other two bodies; while they nil look to the government of India to place airplanes at their disposal. And the secretary for India has not been discouraging. Is It not almost a sign of the times that men refuse to contemplate the possibility of an unscalable mountain? The fact that Auckland Is tin Spital of New Zealand Is brought n mind by Its being the scene of the world's championship term In contests. Otherwise It might have been difficult to state offhand whether Auckland was the capital of the Orkneys or the chief town of a Connecticut county. Parisian women are now smoking cigarettes rolled In paper dyed In delicate shades of rose, green or orange, to harmonize with their gowns. And the poor girls who can't afford them will have to dress In white, always. Nine hundred and seventy dollars was found In a boot that belonged to a man who was thought to have died penniless. It had been there since 1018, but the present Is a time for leaving no boot unexplored. There are too many profiteers and jrrafters between the producers and the consumers says the president of the Farmers' Equity union. Hut what'Is needed Is specification Instead of declamation. The work of th police might be simplified If some one would apply to the automobile the apparatus recently Invented whereby the speed of n locomotive at each point In a run Is duly recorded. The thief who stole 148 bottles of perfume from a drug store probably conforms to the custom of his profession of having several names, and now he can "smell as sweet" under any of them. A cooking school for men has been established by the state college In Pennsylvania. More sobbing Into the dhh towel when she tell? him the biscuits are not like father used to make. There are very few poor ieople who are Inaccessible. It Is when a man is barricaded with bales of bank notes that fie is particular about seeing folks. Otherwise, he may be busy. While this country Is considering an agreement for the limitation of navy building, it will be Just as well to keep an eye on the aerial programs of some of our friends and neighbors. Anyway a woman can shop twice ,i hard and as long with a high-power dollar aa with an Inflated one, so there Is do reason why ehe. should be unfcappr. :

IN PLOR - EÜAPES Youthful Note Manifest in American Clothes.

Navy Blue It First Choice, With Drown and Castor in Turn for Plain Colors. Spring tailor-mades of American origin are decidedly youthful In every detail of development. This Is a fashion note of especial interest to almost very woman. Navy blue, according to one fasbj ion authority, is unquestionably the first choice In color, with brown and .astor In turn for plain colors, but there is a most pleasing and complete assortment of small check materials in such color combinations as brown and tan, green und tan, green and due, navy and gray, green ami gray. And the two or more color iluicH used for skirts :md combined with plain-color Jackets in harmonizing contrast are not forgotten. In fabrics, tricotiue. polret twill and velours for plain colors and fancy woolen fabrics, velours and tweed in color combination effects are the accepted style. The box-Jacket su't most adequately portrays the trend of the moment to give n youthful appearance, slimness, tailored smartness, but nothing bordering on the masculine. There Is not even a severe tailored appearance to the strictly tailored garments. The Jacket of this suit of navy tricotiue i semllittlng, with long armholes and a three-quarter length loosefitting sleeve. The skirt is an interesting close-fitting model, with a sort of panel back, ami Is not so extreme? ly short as the skirts of the past season. On long straight lines Is the loosefitting coat of the suit of polret twill, trimmed with wide hercules braid, the trimming giving a sort of double coat or caie effect that Is new and Interesting. This type of coat makes for a youthful appearance, for It quite successfully 'conceals the natural figure lines and produces a straight-line Black and White Shepherd's Plaid. silhouette, which Is the dominant style feature of spring tailor-mades. This pleasing and practical suit is not especially new in general effect, but It has new details of development that make It quite impossible to mistake this suit as belonging to any other season's offerings than this present one of spring, HVJl. MILLINERY EASY TO CREATE Headgear May Be Constructed at Home Waste Cloth Pieces Used to Advantage. In millinery It Is easy to create a becoming little toque with a readymade buckram shape which need not cost over -52 at most and some fabric from one's scrap bag. Silk and cloth are all so much used this year, in both dark nnd bright colors, that one can choose practically ai..; color that is becoming or that gVs nicely with one's street clothes. A combination of fabrics, too. is Just as modish for hats as for dresses, so a hat crown of silk draiH'd around with cloth or feathers Is a way to utilize scraps. An old silk dres. either taffeta or satin, can be used even when quite worn if covered where there is a thin spot with wool, silk or chenille embroidery. N Metallic threads, too. make-an old fabric look quite new and smart. As feath ers are more used this year on hats . than formerly, it 1 possible to make a feather "melange" that Is. to ue up j a great many , small feathers of all , colors and band a toque with them. To hold them in place a piece of mallnes in dark blue is both neat and attractive. Velvet Poppies. Velvet popples ringed with matchless tlues of ostrich make one shoulder-Strap of. an evening gown, and brilliants make the other.

THE SPRING SUIT OF JERSEY

-. .. . -.

; " A spring suit of jersey will fill many needs and be voted a great success, especially If on the slim and boyish lines of this tailleur. SWEATER DRESS FOR KIDDIES Knitted Garments With Long Waists and Short Plaited Skirts Attract Attention. Among the prettiest of children's clntluv, writes a Paris fashion correspondent, are the smart little topcoats 'carrying all the fashion ideas een in the motor coats of grownups. Very abbreviated full coats are cut wjth kjmono sleeves and narrow stnudlng collars. They open In the front like a painter's smock, and are slipped on over the head. The standing collar usually fastejis with a bow tie. The coat may be of gray or castor color, trimmed with bands of bright peasant embroideries. The tailored suits for children are piite those of the grande dame. N'othng that goes with the dress of the grownup Is lacking. The most favored style is the stralghtline box coat, usually worn without a belt of any ort, or if a belt is used it is In the form of a trimming or side belt. A great many collars are of the Dutch type, which is so becoming to children. On cool days knitted sweater .dresses, with long waists and short rdaited skirts, are seen. Sometimes they are untrimined and merely finished with a banding of the same material, and again the neck, sleeves and bottom of the skirt may be bandd with a contrasting material. .Many little girls are seen wearing bright colored homespun frocks embroidered in wool. One of yellow homespun was made with a long waist. The skirt was extremely short and full. The dress was trimmed with a running stitch of wool in several bright shades. PRETTY CAMISOLE FOR GIRLS Dainty Crepe De Chine or Mercerized Affairs Can Be Made With Slight Effort. It is Impossible for a girl to have too many camisoles. Dainty little crepe de chine or mercerized lawn affairs can be made in half of no time. A strip of material a little wider In front than at the back and half as long again as the bust measurement of the wearer, an edging of Valenciennes or tilet Insertion (the straight edge js much smarter than scalloped lace edging), a hem for an elastic runner, ribbon shoulder straps and a little wreath of hand-made rose?. That's all. but how attractive! And about the shoulder straps, (live e:ch shoulder two straps Instead of the customary one. Set them across, on the shoulders and hold them together with a wee rosebud or rosette of rrtibon. This is the brilliant Idea of a French woman, and straps made like this never slip or get uncomfortable. FADS AND FANCIES Spring models are characterized by the long waist and wide hip girdle. Certain modish gowns made of gray cloth are trimmed with gray Persian lamb collar and cuffs. Evening gowns designed In straight chemise style are smartest when they arc made of gold, silver, or steel net. Brllllant-hued sashes tied low about the hips add a charming touch of color. Becoming Style. A new millinery model, particularly becoming to a brunette, has a circle of ostrich feathers In attractive shades of brrnze and green and blue, over which falls a lace veil In tete de Legre.

THE HEART IN THE WORK. , A Boston minister, addressing a body of women on the subject of charity urged them to put heart Into their relief work. The mere handing out of food or money to the needy as a cold matter of duty is not real charity, he told them. In many a family that Is to be found in need. It Is friendly encouragement and sympathy that would be of more value than a basket filled at the market place. The advice is good and might be applied to other things than charity, ays Indianapolis Star. A man's heart should be In his work, whatever it Is, else he Is not likely to succeed. If he does not like it except because It brings him his bread and butter. If he does not care to perform It to the best of his ability for his own satisfaction, he U losing something fine out of life. If he does not do his best for the sake of the work, no matter what the wages in money, he Is not putting his heart Into his service nnd when that Is lacking he falls as a workman.

So many women do their banking In their stockings that the court y treasurer at Pittsburgh has had a private room set off In his quarters to enable the ladles to reach their rolls without embarrassment before approaching his desk, says Los Angeles Times. It Is rather confusing for a lady to retrieve a wad of bills from her stocking while a bunch of curious hirelings are looking on. It Is proposed that our public school teachers know more about hygiene so that they may be better able to Judge of the Ills of their pupils. It is perhaps unnecessary to explain that the proposal did not come from the pupils. Cardinal Gibbons wants Babe Kuth given a national testimonial. A number of American league pitchers will acquiesce In this if it is decided that In honor of Habe, all right-field fences be moved back one-quarter of a mile. Imported eggs are said to be bringing down prices and somebody is trying to shock us by telling us tliat some of the eggs from China are 11 weeks old. A lot of home-grown ones are a good deal more than that. There- Is a shortage of 1.250,000 houses In this country, says the national Chamber of Commerce. And 4,000,000 people are Inadequately housed. Well, what's delaying the building boom? Every time we read about a mall airplane being wrecked we get to worrying in our selfish way about whether the carrier had an Important letter for us with him at the time. A Washington professor rises to Inform all married men that their allusions to their better half are no longer a Joke. As to many men, however. they never were a 'j Now they are telling us that a good substitute for milk is being made of rice. And we suppose It will not im pose such a drain upon the water works. !

No dollar ever earned by honest labor should get into the pos-essiun of the chronic betting loafer. Make the rascal work or starve. Another reason why work Is that if you are you should idle you arQ sure to interfere with somebody wantj to work. who The girl who can cook and who says she loves to cook may be a terrible liar, but she isn't going to be an old maid. Wages are at the right level when they make a man respect his Job and work like an honest. Industrious citizen. Still, disagreeable as It may be to do most of the listening, the listener ha-, a great advantage over the chronic talker. Don't have too many people doing for you the things you ought to do for yourself unless you are a helpless baby. By using a little judicious advertising Havana might easily hecome the leading convention city of North America. When a concern advertises "This place has changed hands" It generally means that It has chancel heads.

Some of the Newest FIXINGS THAT ADD TO GOWNS Jewelry Serves as Decoration to Brighten Milady's Severely Plain Outfit. BAGS ARE THINGS OF BEAUTY Accessory Not Elaborate or Fussy; Sometimes Quite Colorful in Design Shoes and Slippers Are Snub-Nosed. What would a costume -be without those finishing touches that till out the picture? This season they seem to be even more important than they have been in years past, for the simple reason, says a fashion writer, that most of the gowns are plain In design and treatment, establishing the rule that if there are extra fixings they must be perfect or they will stick out like sore thumbs. For this very reason the extra fixing assumes' a new importance In that It must usually, or very often, be the only bit of trimming there is about the gown. Therefore, If it is not quite in harmony with the very outfit which it accompanies. It will put the whole arrangement out of key and the effect will be one of extreme stupidity instead of ultra smartness, as it should have been. Don't think that Just any string of beads will do to liven up a gown that is dull and plain in appearance. There Is a string of heads for that gown you buy which ! better than all other strings, and unless you succeed in finding that one your whole purpose will be thwarted, and the look of the gown will be sailed Instead of helped, as you meant to have It. These are fine ' points and valuable ones. A shockingly incongruous effect is the dress of classic lines and exquisite material all In black and a crepy satin surface, with a chain of brilliant red stones hung about the throat, when stones are too large nml the coor Irf too glaring. Sometimes pale stones will look brilliant In a connection of this sort, and sometimes the brilliant ones will Just succeed In making known their identity above every other accessory. Jade, Color of Moment. Jade is the color of the moment as far as jewelrj' Is concerned. And a touch of this brilliant green carries further than perhaps any other bit of semi-precious stone. Jade is done have dangles made in circles and successions of circles, from which a bobbing bead emanates, ami the whole thing swings about In a most Informal manner. Jade rings, with enonnons stones, are as popular as ever, and on hands which are large enough to stand their massiveness they are really stun ning looking, though It must be said tliat they are best when they are worn alone, for they do not go very nicely with other and more delicately designed jewelry. The caned jade dangles, worn on bits of black ribbon around the throat, are most effective against dark creie and woolen dresses. The carvings are expensive, because this particular stone is so hard to cut. Putf then, a I,ttIe of lt Hs a eat wa a great way on ac count of the scintillating quality of Its peculiar color. Jade bracelets, too, are in demand, for the short sleeves that are so prevalent call loudly for bracelets to deck the bareness of the arras. Some of the Jade bracelets are carved in sections to make them look as though a certain frumber of straight sides had leen put together to form a circle; some of them are quite simple in structure. They are all made large enough to slip about on the arm In a decidedly graceful way. Bracelets of All Sorts. There are bracelets of all sorts aad conditions. There are the old-fashioned sets of dangle bracelets made of ullver or of gold. They clank together and slide up and down the arm In a way that Is truly fascinating, i and they seem to be much liked by the ladies who go In for the more or

Details of Women's Apparel. less fancy sort of dressing. A new sort of bracelet Is made from a string f tiny iearls a long string that Is rolled over and over the hand until lt becomes small enough to be a bracelet of many tiers of the strung beads. WhtMi, for any reason, pearls are out of the question for this usage, then there Is a lovely little substitute In the shape of a string of tiny sliver or silvered beads, with which the same thing can be accomplished. Kven with a street costume. It Is Interesting to see these little beads come clipping down over the neatly gloved hand. Then there are the gorgeous bracelets made of diamonds and of dlamouds in combination with the more colorful precious stones. They are ery much in evidence at all the smart functions, worn along with evening and dressy afternoon clothes. They are much to be desired and extremely beautifying In general character. Then there are all sorts of handsome antique bracelets at ircsent being brought out from their hiding places, after many years of existence under cover of the stuffy jewel case. These are, perhaps, the most effective of all when they are worn with the right sort of costumes, but, on the other hand, they are the most difficult to obtain, and, therefore, much less In evidence than are those of more recent origin and design. The dangling hatpins mentioned earlier are done now In all sorts of stones, for they are a popular fixing of the moment. There are those made of cut crystals which are lovely to see, and there are others made of oldfashioned clusters of garnets which are very fascinating. There are those made of all colors and composition, molded Into various shapes and sizes and beads and buttons. No one Is quite up to the last word unless she & the proud jossessor of one of these pins. The fad for teads has extended Itself to the matter of belts, and nowone sees combinations of buckles and beads and chains that are most attractive when used for girdles. It Is seldom that one of these Is wen entirely made from one sort of bead. They are good whci they are combined with the one-piece dress that boasts no other sort of trimming, for then they can carry' the color and the design all by themselves and "get away" with it proudly. One of these made up of silver cord and jade rings was most interesting wnen combined with a dark blue crepe dress. Head Beads More Popular. Head beads are becoming more and more popular in the evening and, with Paris leading the fashion, they are growing a little more elaborate and more Inclined to cover the whole of tlie top of the coiffure. Che little bands of formal silver leaves are particularly good looking, and at the opera many of them are seen scattered about the audience. There Is another little band of variegated tiny flowers often seen. It came from London, where the women love to wear things In their hair during the dress-up hours of the evening; P.ags for money and bags for trinkets, as well as cigarette cases, etc., are developing in beauty every day that passes. They are not by any means elaborate or fussy. The soft little pocket-books or card cases, made of brocaded silks and edged with little blocks tf silver and gold, are about the newest and loveliest things that are to be seen in the better shops. Sometimes they are quite colorful In design, although the tinier patterns are usually used, and then again they are made of the simplest black or brown or blue or gray stripes. They are mot useful because, on account of their general flexibility, they can hold a lot of things and, at the sarao time, because of their clever construction, retain their contour. . Shoes and slippers are marching on a new path, from the look of things. They are losing the very exaggerated pointed look that they have held for so long and are becoming more snubnosed. The very newest ones are not exactly short vamped, as were those that had a sort of flare a year or so ago. These newer ones have long enough vamps, but the toes themselves curve around in a decidedly snubbed way rather than extending into long, pointed effects. The bootmakers tell us that they have all the famous comfort of a rally American shoe. In spite of their change In shape, and that the American woman with a long and narrow foot Is going to be Just as comfortable In them as she has become accustomed to being.
