CHEERFUL APRON DRESSES ‘ CONTINUE TO BE PRETTY

OP ALL the descriptive names | which manufacturers have given ' to frocks and aprons for housework, that .of “apron-dress” is the most fitting. It describes exactly the uses to which these garments are put, for they serve both as dresses und as aprons. A great deal of attention Is pflvcn to designing them and they are among the most salable of ail things ready-made. Therefore* manufacturers see to it that their lines are good, their colors pleasing, and the mute- : Hals used in them sturdy and practical. The apron-dresses for fall show no hew departures In style, but their producers are giving more attention to fit and to attractive finishing than ever. The fabrics used are the ones we are familiar with—• j fast-coinr percales In stripes, plaids tad fancy patterns. Checked and plaltf ginghams and solid colors in ginghams and cliambrays. . In the percales there are dark or light grounds withj

IN MILLINER’S WINDOW HATS SMILE AT AUTUMN

t ’ THERE Is a sigh in the heart of inost women for the passing summer, the lure of the milliner’s winflows Just now will make them forget It. Tlie cool September is greeted by Cheerful and gracious hats that reflect jmd welcome the glorious days of autumn. Hats seem always anxious to Ese —rand always they succeed, for i their privilege to present someg new each season, and that Is What the restless sex is always looktng for. Here are five hats, typical of„dlffermt styles, that reveal something of (he new modes. The group begins Clth a dress hat at the upper left. This a large shape with most beautiful lines —what milliners describe as a lovely movement in its brim and perfect balance. It Is made of fuchsia Colored velvet —its' crown covered with ostrich flue3 in the fuchsia shades^ Eles and reds. Next it Is a semli hat of felt in one of the beloved lant tones. It has the large, soft grown characteristic of this season, Cnd a handsome trimming of pheasant feathers that trail off the crown and brim. — —- ——' Just below it a tailored hat ofiiuve-

Jade Jewelry. Jade beads are always lovely, either strung solidly or else with a gold chain. When one says Jade one usually means green jade. But sometimes the green Jade beads's r P most effectively strung with the' xrtins ones. The contrast Is lovely. Pendants of Jade are even lovelier than Jade heads—at least Just now, when pendants are so much used. Carved pendants, sometimes In the form of roses, sometimes In the form of feuggMs of grapes, are hung on silken

stripes and figures. White and solid colors In suitable cottons, ric-rac and other braids, pearl buttons with a few tucks in the material, account for the decorations used sparingly on garments which are intended to be simple. It would seem that there is small chance for much variety of design in frocks that employ so few kinds of material, but it turns out to be otherwise. There are so many patterns in the materials used, so great variety In color and so man? color combinations {hat a never-ending succession of designs are produced. Besides, designers seem endlessly Ingenious in the shaping of collars, belts, pockets, and In the placing of such simple finishing touches as buttons or the management of fastenings. A regulation aprondress is presented 4n the picture; It Is striped percale ’ln the sllp-on style, and the simplest design, but is typical of garments of this kind.

tyn assures us that those becoming ofT-. , the-face shapes, with a lfttle Variation In their lines, are as strong as ever ! for frill. Bugle beads provide the vivacious trimming.- These hats are a : little -closer fitting and smaller than j their fort-runners—they are shown lq many colors. At the left a felt shape has a flavor of sport styles at least, with an applitjue of grapes and foliage on the crown made of silk, and a saw-tooth ! binding about- the brim edge. This hat ! also makes opportunity for many color ! ■'omblnations. For those In mourning a hat Is shown made of black silk and crape with facing of white georgette. Dull black beads provide Its ornament. ctrrmoHT n vbtun nmn moot Straw Hats In Fine Checks.

“TRANSPIRE” AND “OCCUR.” TO" OCCUR means 'to fake place, to happen, to come to pass; to transpire means to become known, to escape from secrecy, to be made public. It is quite common, especially In ordinary Speech and In writings in newspapers- and” magazines, to hear and see the verb “transpire” used Instead of -“happen" or “occur.” . Such usage Is, however, quite incorrect, and is condemned by critics fn, England and America.'- “It transpired yesterday, at the meeting of the common council, that permission was withheld,” etc., wrote a reporter, but he should have written, “It happened yesterday,” etc. —or, better still, he should have graitted, the phrase and begun his sentence with “at” and omitted “thnt." Following Is a ease of the proper use of the verb “transpire": “At the meeting of the common council yesterday it transpired that last week’s action on the street-railway franchise, was not final”—that is, 4t became known. , , (Copyright.)

ABOUT* INTRODUCTIONS We are more sensible of what is done against custom than against nature. — Piutaruh. •" NO ONE has any good excuse for not being able to make Introductions easily and in good form. It is simply a matter of knowing the right form and then In a little practice. It is an act that requires no originality and no special talent. But there are a lot of people nevertheless, who always do bungle an introduction. and this for the simple reason thnt they do not give the subject sufficient thought or do not trouble themselves to look up the right way to do It. The other day I obshrYed a stalwart young corporal, proud, to have his cheery-faced little mother visiting him, and eager to Introduce her to his friends. “Mother, meet Sergeant Jones,” he said ns one of his friends approached.

The East, however, reversed the arrangement and Natalia is popular there, while her husband Is forgotten. Natalia was one of the favored Greek Christian names. Russia adopted her-and,, adding the usual consonants of Its language, calls her Natallja. Nataschenka, and Natascnn. The first of the 'three names is extremely popular there today, or until the Bolshevik! came Into power and withdrew the attention of etymologists from the study of feminine names. France Is said to have secured Natalie from Russia, though there Is (word of a Natalie at Cambrai In 1212. England preferred Natalie to any of the other forms, rejecting Natalia ns too Latin in Its influence. Whether American Natalies are representative of the English, or taken direct/from France, Is a matter of personal preference.. ~ The pearl of purity is Natalie’s tallsmanlc gem.. It promises good fortuqe for its wenrer and makes her gentle, kind, rind lovable, Thursday is her lucky day arid 4 her lucky number. - - ' (Copyright.) -sr O New Yorkers Are Cleanly.

and again, “Smith, know my mother.” To be sure this answered the purpose and as every one was very happy on the occasion it probably didn’t make much difference how the introduction was made. But the form was far front courteous. In the first'place n man should always present or introduce his men friends to his mother, er any other woman, and he should use n femwif Introduction that shows that he Is making the Introduction In this way. Moreover the abrupt manner of saying -simply, "Meet-Alr. Brown,”- or “Know my friend Jones,” which has recently become so popular is really too abrupt to be In good form for any purpose save possibly for men to introduce men to each-other In a purely business conpectlori. It lS * should never he used In introducing women. The right way for the young soldier to have gone about It would hnve been to say, “Mother, I want to present Sergeant Jones.” “Jones,” this Is my mother,” or “Let me Introduce Sergeant Jones to you, mother; Sergeant Jones J wish to present you to ray mother.” In a case ■ like this it is not necessary to give the mother’s name, The ,®nly occasion where'- it would he, would be In the'case the mother, through remarriage, bore a name different from the one' of tho son who Introduced her.

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 11 PAUL IN ATHENS. LESSON TEXT—Acte 17:16-34. GOLDEN TEXT—In him we live, and move, and have our being.—Acte 17:28. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Luke 4:14- . PRIMARY TOPIC—PauI Telling the People about God. JUNIOR TOPIC—Pa,uI in Athens. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —ln a Famous Greek City. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Paul In a Center of Learning. Being Driven from Berea, Paul . Fled to Athena 1. The Idolatry of the Athenlane (v. 16). Athens was the Intellectual metropolis of the world at that time, the home of the world's great eloquence and philosophy. Paul’s spirit was stirred within him whep he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 11. The Partiee Concerned (w. 1721). True to his usual customTaul went into the Jewish synagogue and entered Into earnest argument with the Jews. Fromathem he turned to such as were found in the market place. Here lie came Into touch with the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. The former were atheistic materialists. They denied the doctrine of Creation. They gnve themselves up to sensual indffigjnces- since they had no Idea of future Judgment. The latter were pantheists. When they heard the preaching of Paul they desired to know what new doctrine he preached, so they Invited him to the Areopagus where he might speak to them of his new doctrine. They inquired as to what this “babbler” might say. . The word "babbler" means literally "seedpicker.” They conceived Paul as a globe-trotter who had gathered up seeds of truth here and there over the world, and that he was somewhat like themselves, interested In talking about that which he knew* ' 111. Paul’s Address on InSrs 1 Hill (w. 23-31). •1. The Introduction (w. 22, 23). He did not accuse them of “superstition” as the A. V. would make it, but as In the Am. H. V. he introduces his discourse in a courteous and conciliatory manner, stating that he perceived that they were very religious. This he explained by stating that as he was viewing their city he beheld an altar with an inscription “To the Unknown God.” This was his point of contact. He proceeds at. once to connect It with the Idea of the living God, Implying that this altar had been erected to nim. He was too wise to begin at once to denounce heathenism and Idolatry. 2. The body of his discourse (vy. 24-31).

(1) A declaration concerning God (w. 24, 25). (a) He created the material universe (v. 24). This was a direct blow at the philosophy of both the Epicureans and the Stoics. He did not attempt to prove the existence of God; It needs no proof. The Bible everywhere nssumes the existence of a divine being, (b) His spirituality arid Immensity (vv. 24, 25). He is not served with “men’s hands as though he needed anything," neither Is He confined by any srirt of religious temple. Being essentially spiritual He demands heart-service, and being transcendent above all He Is not confided to earthly temples, (c) His active providence (v. 25). He gives existence, bestows needed gifts, and as sovereign directs all things. (2) Declaration concerning man (yv. 20-31). (a) His common origin (v, 20). This was a blow at the foolish Athenian prldef which supposed that they were superior to all other people. This proposition he proved from their own literature (see v. 28). If men are the offspring of God and bear Ills likeness it is utter folly to make images ns the senseless Idols were, (b) Nations have' their place by the sovereign purpose of God (v. 20). The position and mission of each nation Is of God’S appointment. _ (c) Men should seek God (v. 26). His goo'dness and grace in supplying all our needs, and ordering even the affairs of the nations should move man to see and seek God, for He is indeed very near to every one; so near that onr existence and movements are all under His Control (y. 27). (and) Pressing obligation to repent (w. 30, 31). This was his supreme message. Though God lmd formerly pnssed over idolatry He now calls to all men to repent- The solemn reason fori sucl\ action is the coming day of judgment, the credential of which Is the 'resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The judgment <sf God of an unbelieving'' world is as sure as this fnet. Men will be Judged on the basis of their attitude toward Jesus Christ. IV. Result of Paul's Preaching (w. 32-34). ", • 1. Some mocked (v. 32). This is ever the case. Today men and women are mocking the preacher who preaches a Judgment to come. The attitude of the mocker does not alter the fact of judgment. 2. Some procrastinated (v. 32). This is the common way of men. They may not mock, but they hesitate to accept nnd act upon the urgency of the message. 3. Some believed (v. .34). -Whereever the gospel Is preached there are some who believe and are saved. * if ■ ■■ ■ Happiness. “Blessed, or happy, is the man whose transgression Is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Happiness after ail does not depend on outward circumstances, although most people seem to think that It does. But there are poor people who ere happy, and there are very many rich'people who are miserable. Happiness is a product of the spirit, and you will find it only in the live* of people of faith, people whose conscience la at peace with God,

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and haling influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest tot its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of ths prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why io many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root is on sals at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Cos., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Advertisement. Safe From Traffic. --An East side Italian woman, mother of three small children, has Invented a way to prevent her‘offspring from playing in the middle of the street, thus keeping them away from traffic dangers. Every day she takes them down to the front door of the tenement house In which they live, slips a noose around each waist and neck, and then ties the end of the rope, with about five feet leeway, to an iron railing in front of the house, and the children play among themselves. She slips a small padlock In between th knots of the rope and the bars of the Iron failing, so that no one but herself can untie It.—Detroit Free Press.
