ACCEPTED styles In suits are interpreted In many ways. The art of the tailor Is put to the test when be must adapt a mode to the age of his patron and modify it In accordance. In suits there ar? those that express the buoyancy of youth, those that convey the spirit and poise of j latec and fuller life, and those that nttest to the dignity, quiet and richness of age. None of these have been altogether left out of the displays, hut It j Is natural that suits for younger women should predominate and two of these are pictured here. The suit at the left of the Illustration Is built on youthful lines to start with and is made of a soft cloth — “duvet de lalne." in brown. The box coat, which flares somewhat, has a I novel trimming at the bottom of chenille fringe and a collar and cuffs of 1

STARS IN MILLINERY SKY DEPICT WORK OF ARTISTS

FOUR distinct types of huts appear i here, each one of them entitled to i be called a star, in the galaxy of Its particular kind. They are forecasts | of what we may expect to see In the i millinery sky this winter, and they I are enchanting. At a glance we per- j celve them to he the work of artists, from the frame foundations to the I last minute details of their making and trimming, and Concede .that only expert professionals can make them. Think this over when the pri'ee of hats Is under discussion and be willing to pay for faultless workmanship. At- the top of the group a dress hat, of black velvet, has' a soft Crown and straight wide brim with n novel finish about Its edge. For this border numbers of shiny black ornaments having the sparkle of jet are used. The lines of the crown and brim are beautifully balanced, and the shape becoming to many faces. One of the shapes that artists love appears In the youthfni mods?! at the

The shortness of the skirt Indicates that It tfas meant for them. The handsome suit at the right, made of black suede cloth, Is distinctly matronly. The coat Is elaborated by side panels, by variations In Its length and by a rich embroidery of black silk and sliver tinsel. It has a modish collar of natural squirrel fur nnd both the skirt and coat approve the style of longer lines. It would be hard to find anything to excel this In a suit that Is distinctive and rich enough for the usual social affairs that Interest women. It Is just what they need for their Clubs, concerts, church entertainments, teas and other lit formal gatherings*

"What a lot of milk you use," exclaimed Mrs. Olds, watching the milkman place four quart bottles and a pint on her neighbor’s step. “What on earth do you do with It all?” Mrs. Newsom looked somewhat astonished. “Why,” slie replied, “we drink most of It, of course. A pint and a half a day or a glass each meal fop each of the three children, the pint for grandmother, a glass or more each tor Mr. Newsom add myself, and the rest for breakfast cereals, coffee and cooking. In fact, I often have to buy an extra bottle If I want to make a pudding. Tom, especially since he has been on the high school athletic team, very often uses a glass or two more than I allow for him." Some Children Do Not Like Milk. “Goodness, my children wouldn’t drink milk If I paid them. We.only take two quarts a, day, and hardly ever use all of that.

But even Billy wants his coffee for breaklast and tea for dinner.” "You don’t mean to say you give four-year-old Billy tea and coffee?” An illumination of many points shout her neighbor’s’ family came suddenly to Mrs. Newsom. She had always supposed the Olds children were delicate and obviously undernourished, because there were so many of them to bring up on a small salary. Apparently,- however, there had been a very grave blunder in the diet of the whole Family, one which could have been avoided even with their limited Income, because milk Is one of the cheapest sources of nourishment obtainable.- * “I wish you might have been with me yesterday.” remarked Mrs. Newsom. "I heard a talk about an exhibit prepared by some milk specialists in the dairy division of the United States Department of Agriculture. In fact, I brought home a picture which illustrated the' lecture. I think it would Interest you.” She stepped inside the nouse for a moment, and then Invited her neighbor to sit down while she explained.

Itists. The lecturer explained that th condition of the rats Illustrated the good effect of uddtng milk to un Inadequate diet. The rats having milk, you seo, grew large and muscular, with strong bones, bright ejjeS” and glossy hair. Those that did not have milk added to* l.helr diet had weak bones, because they lacked minerals, especially lime, which Is so abundant In milk, and also milk proteins, which are unexcelled for tnuklng firm, strong muscles. They also lacked vitamines, the important food accessories so essential to growth and health. Poor little things, they did not gain, but actually lost, while their comrades In the next cage thrived, and In six week* had more than doubled their weight at the beginning of the demonstration. “The lecturer explained that the exhibit was not an experiment, because the facts had already been proved by experlinemal evidence. It was merely a practical Illustration. ’•Of course.” went on Mrs. Newsom, “we know perfectly well that a baby will double Its weight In six months on milk ulone and really we should not be surrplsed that these half-grown rats would have done the same when they bad all the milk they wished. ’The lecturer showed us the stuffed pelts, which were absolutely and the mounted skeletons. The milkfed rats hud firm, well-formed bones, because they got plenty of lime, whereas the poor little undernourished ones had such frail skeletons that some of them hnd to be exhibited in bottles instead of being mounted." Causes of Weak Bones. Mrs. Olds looked very thoughtful, “I wonder,” she said finally, “whether the small amount of milk the children have hud would purtly account for the easily broken bones in our family? Three of the children have had fractured arms or legs—and Ida’s back seems so weak..” •It seems probable, though, one can’t say positively, of course, Mrs. Olds. The lecturer yesterday confirmed my belief that milk Is better for the child’s nervous system than tea and coffee, which, as yon know, are not foods nt all, aud which contain elements that affect the nerves. It’s a problem to break a food habit after a child once forms It, I know; that Is why I have always avoided starting the tea anil coffee habit.” ' “I believe,” said Mrs. Olds, “that the two youngest children might listen to me if I -could tell them the story ot the nits —and perhaps show them the picture.” “I’ll be so glad to lend it to you," Smiled Mrs. Newsom.

(Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.) Peru, which has been celebrating the hundredth anniversary of Its Independence from Spain, In the presence of commissioners officially representing the United States and other nations, far enough out of the beaten path of most North Americans to be, but vaguely known to them. It Is often thought of, no doubt, as a little republic clinging to the sides of the lofty Andes lest It slip and be lost In the Pacific. But In area and interest Peru Is by no means negligible; and If it has failed to take an Important place In world affairs, either commercial or political. It may well be that that fact Is due, not to lack of size and resources and potential wealth and power, but rather to Immaturity. Peru has every climate under heaven, together with many of the products and conditions that go with them. It lias the sand dunes of the Sahara; the fertile, sun-bathed, Irrigated valleys of California; the dry grazing lands of Australia; the productive mountain valleys and uplands of Kashmir; the bleak plateaus of Tibet; the snowy peaks of Switzerland; and the tropical Jungles of Central Afrlca_and Brazil. And off Its shores, tropical In latitude but mild In temperature, the waters, so cold that often they are uncomfortable for bathing, are alive with the sea life of the oenr-antarctlc. Much of" Peru Is occupied by the towering Andes, with few passes less than 15,000 feet high, and with numerous peaks exceeding -21,000 feet. These great ramparts are chiefly responsible for the diversity of Peru’s climatic conditions. They precipitate the moisture of the Atlantic winds and so create the TroplPal JtirigTes Thar stretch from their bases toward the interior of the continent; thrust slopes and plateaus up Into the cool regions of the upper air; and cut off the Pacific const section fj,om the moistureladen winds, making much of It a desert. Coast Strip Has River* but No Rain. Although the strip of .Peru between the Pacific and the western foothills .of the Andes Is devoid of rain and largely desert, many streams from the mountains break across this region to the sea, and the relatively narrow valstitute the most fertile land of the country. Most of the desert land between the parallel rivers Is not so from lack of fertility hut because of the absence of life-giving water. This Is a most •unusual region lying within the tropics and adjoining the sea, where normally vegetable growth would be abundant. If It could be viewed from a distance of a thousand miles through T telescope It would probably appear much as the supposed canals of Mars have be’en described as appearing to some observers —dark, roughly parallel lines of vegetation on a drab, verdureless background. Some of the bench lands have been reclaimed for considerable distances from the rivers, and projects have heen considered .to impound the waters that rush down from the melting Andean snows and bring under cultivation practically the whole roast region. Peru has an area of. about 700.000 square miles and Is theVefore only slightly smaller than Mexico and well -nrer ft qnarter the^str.e-ofahe United States exclusive of Alaska. ’lf Peru • could be laid down on the surface of the United States so that its southernmost point coincided with the southernmost projection of Texas Its northeastern corner would He near Peoria, 111., and Its northwestern extremity near Cheyenne, Wyo. The rough triangle would cover practically all of Texas, Oklahoma and Knnsas. half of Nebraska, parts of Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, lowa and South Dakota, and fragments of New Mexico and Wyoming. Where the Incae Flourished. Just as the United States was set- ’ tied from the Atlantic coast and developed first its coastal strip, lenvlng ‘ ns un unknown region for generations the country to the west beyond its mountains and deserts, so Peru has developed in the reverse direction. The European conquerors of Its Inca empire entered the country from the Pacific coast, and. It Is along this strip

of coast land that European blood and culture have made themselves most strongly felt To the east rise the three towering ranges of the Andes, their slopes, peaks and Intervening valleys and plateaus constituting the “Sierra," the second of the three great geographic divisions of Peru. In this lofty region the Inca civilization held sway with a marvelously Intricate but efficient governmental machine, before the Spanish came. Cuzco, the capital of the Inca empire, was situated In a fertile, protected valley of the Sierra region, and remains today one of the important Peruvian towns. Its population now, however, Is only 15,000, about one-tenth that of the city when It was the Babylon of the western hemisphere. In the almost Inaccessible country to the northwest of Cuzco, and less than 50 miles distant, hidden away among the mountains, was Machu Picchu, the secret city where the forerunners of the Incas, almost destroyed by barbarians, nursed their civilization and culture’ for centuries before going out Into the valleys ,u n <l founding their great empire. This old city, whose existence had been only a tradition for hundreds of years, was discovered In 1911 and uncovered In 1912 by expeditions of the National Geographic society and Yale university. The Sierra, or region of mountains, valleys and plateaus, Is still the land of the heirs of the Incas. In this portion of Peru lives the largest single element In the population, the civilized Indians, descendants of the Incas. Though the population of Peru is not known accurately, It Is estimated to be about 5.000,000. The Indians of the Sierra number close to 2,000,000. Immense - Mineral Resources. In the Peruvian Sierra, too, are the mining developments. Peru’s mineral, resources are almost Inexhaustible. Gold and silver are the minerals on which most emphasis was placed by the Spaniards. Fortunes In both were removed from the country, but rich deposits remain. In recent years copper has led other minerals In the value of production. The copper mines at Cerre de Pasco are among the richest In the world. Almost every mineral substance known Is believed to have been compounded In nature's great Andean laboratory: The list of products from Peruviun mines covers much of the alphabet from antimony to vanadium. Os great Importance are the petroleum wells of the northern coast, whose production Is next In value to the country’s copper output. To the east of tile Andes, cut off from the more developed portion ofthe country, lies the third geographical division, the region known as the Montana, Peru’s land of the future. Tills part of the republic Is made up of the wooded landward slopes of the Andes, grassy foothills, and the heavy little-known jungles and forests that spread out to the east for a thousand miles or more along the broad valley of the Amazon and its tributaries. Because of the henvy rainfall the growth of vegetation In this part of Peru Is believed to be as heavy as anywhere else in the world. Even at midday in some of the forests the light Is no brighter than at twjjight in open country. In a glade, with dense vegetation on all sides, one feels that he has been dropped down Into the ; bottom,: of deep gcfien-ilned pit.. The country on the eastern slopes, rtf the Andes and on the foothills before the“dense forest Is, reached has been settled very sparsely; but over thousands of square miles of the Jungle the foot of civilized man has never trod. A few tribes of uncivilized Indlnns roam through these forest depths. Many large rivers rising on the eastern slopes of the Andes, flow across the Montana region of Peru, into Brazil, and finally find their way Into the Atlantic 2,000 miles away, through the mighty Amazon. Oeenn vessels ascend the Amazon to Iqultos, the metropolis of pastern Peru, nearly 200 miles within Peruvian territory; and by river boats the journey may be continued to within 200 miles ol the Pacific. Along many of the rivers In eastern Peru are towns of some Importance, which are the outposts of Peruvian civilization, commerce and government in this Isolated trans-Andean empire.

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 4 FROM PHILIPPI TO ATHENS. LESSON TEXT—Acts 16:; 17:1k. GOLDEN TEXT—The angel of the Lori encampeth round about them that fear him, and dellvereth them.—Psalm 34:7. REFERENCE MATERIAL—I and IX Thess. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Takes Care ot Paul and Silas. JUNIOR TOPIC-A Midnight Experience In Philippi. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Courage In the Face of Persecution. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Preaching with Persecutions. I. Paul and Silaa in Jail (vv. 19-26). 1. The occasion (vv. 19-24). When the demon was cast out of the maid her supernatural power was gone; therefore, the source of revenue was dried up. This so exasperated her owners that they had Paul and Silas arraigned before the magistrates on a false charge. They charged them with changing their customs, but nothing had been said about customs. They acted the hypocrite, for It was not customs, but their Illicit gains that were interfered with. Those men ought to have rejoiced that such a blessing had come to this poor girl. They cared more for their gain than for her welfare. This Is true of the Iniquitous crowding together of the poor in unsanitary quarters In our tenement districts aud the neglect of precautions for the safety of employees In shops and stores. Without any chance to defend themselves they were stripped and beaten by the angry mob and then remunded to Jail, and were made fast In stocks In the inner prison. 2. Their behavior In Jail (v. 25). They were praying and singing hymns to God. It seems quite natural that they should pray under such conditions, but to sing hymns under such circumstances Is astonishing to all who have not come into possession of the peace of God through Christ. Even with their backs lacerated and smarting, and feet fast In stocks compelling the most painful attitude In the dungeon darkness of the Inner prison, with a morrow before them filled with extreme uncertainty, their hearts went up to God in gratitude. 3. Their deliverance (v. 26). The Lord wrought deliverance by sending a great earthquake which opened the prison doors and removed the chains from all hands. 11. The Conversion of the Jailer (vv. 27-34). The jailer’s sympathy did not go out very far for the prisoners, for after they were-made secure he went to sleep. The earthquake suddenly aroused him. He was about to kill himself, whereupon Paul assured him that the prisoners were all safe. This was too much for him. What he had heard of their preaching and now what he had experienced caused. him to come as a humble inquirer nfter salvation. Paul clearly pointed out the .way to be saved—“ Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.” The word "believe” means to yield to and fully obey. The proof, that the Jailer was saved Is threefold: 1. Transformation from brutality to tenderness. He who a little while ago could with Impunity lay on the cruel lash is now disposed to wash and mollify the wounds. 2. Confession of Christ In baptism. Those who have really been convicted of sin and have experienced the saving grace of God, delight to confess their faith in Him under whatever circumstance they may be. 3. Ills whole household baptized. When a man's family are willing to follow him you may be sure that the case is' genuine. 111. The Magistrates Humbled (w. 35-40). The earthquake brought fear upon the magistrates, '/’hey gave leave for the prisoners to go, but now they refuse to go, claiming that their rights as ltoman citizens have heen violated, ahd demand a public vindication. Paul was willing to suffer for Christ’s sake, hut he used the occasion to show them that persecuting men who preach the gospel Is an offense against the law of God and man. IV. Preaching In Thessalonica (w. 17-19). At Thessalonica he found open hearts. He .followed his usual custom of going first to the Jew fv. 1). After witnessing to the jews he went to the "GetillTesr ’'Crtweeftflng- tlre- ’ChristS'he affirmed: 1. “It behooved Christ to suffer” (v. 8V No plainer teaching is to be ’ found anywhere than the suffering of Christ (Isa. 53). 2. The resurrection, of Christ from the dead (v. 3). 3r-The kingship of Jesus (v. 7). Just as It was needful for Paul to go into the synagogue and “open and allege” that Christ must strffef-, so It Is now needful that someone go Into onr churches nnd Sunday schools and "open and allege” that by the eternal Word of God Christ .must come and establish His kingdom. The result of this preaching was tjiat mnny Greeks, some Jews believed, v .V. Poaching in Berea (vv. 10-15). His method here was the same as at Thessnlonica. He entered the Jewish synagogue and preachecl Jesus unto them. The Bereans received the gospel with glad hearts. Two striking things were said about them: * l. They received the message gladly. 2. They searched the Scriptures daily for the truthfulness of their preaching. All noble minds have (1) an Openness to receive the truth; (2) a balanced hesitancy; (3) a subjection to rightful authority. • Remove Thy Feet From Evil, Ponder the path of thy feet,, nnd let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand-nor to the left; remove thy foot from’ evil.—-Proverbs, 4:26, 27.
