LIEN milady steps out in all the glory of her new raiment and takes part in the annual Easter parade, let not mere man make caustic remarks about women being slaves to fashion and unhappy unless they are clad in the dernier cri of fashion. For there was a time when man himself went in for gaudy display of wearing apparel. In fact, a review of men’s styles through the ages, such as was given at the recent style show for both men and women.

F" E

staged in Chicago by the National Association of Retail Clothiers and Furnishers and the Fashion Art League of America, showed that it has been only within comparatively recent times that he has been content to wear such sober garments as “the conventional black” and leave it to his mate to be the bird of fine feathers in the household. A “pictorial review” of men’s styles, such as was presented by J. Frederick Schafer of Chicago before a convention of the International Assoclan/ri = T7tii\ ( /Ji I \J / IM Ot w tlon of Clothing Designers in Cincinnati not so long ago, reveals the fact that men’s styles have. If anything, been even more changeable than women’s. At first, especially in warm climates, men wore clothing (if any) not so much for protection as for decoration. The gentleman, whose portrait is shown above (No. 1) and who lived about 10,000 B. C., had for his costume what some unknown poet has described thus; Both the Kin< and hk people were black aa shoes Because that the climate was torrid; And all that they wore was a ring- through the now, And a patch of green paint on the forehead. i But paint and crude bits of jewelry, put on to frighten their enemies, to impress their neighbors or to woo their sweethearts, are not properly clothes, so the first real article of clothing that marks the beginning of men's styles was the simple breech-clout. When warmth and modesty began to be consideration in how men should dress, he met the situation by using animal skins, thrown across one shoulder and fastened with a thorn under the other arm, thus leaving the fightI 1/ / k J f \ I 7 (J a Ing arm free to wield a weapon. And it Is more than likely that the favorite skin which he wore was the brilliantly striped tiger pelt or the attractive spotted skin of the leopard and that his woman had to be content with the less conspicuous peltries. The next step forward was when man discovered that fibers stripped from trees and felted together in some crude way made an adequate substitute for skins, even though It must have been somewhat “scratchy.” But somewhere back in the dim vistas of time he learned the art of weaving and the sister art of dyeing so that he began to make handsome, durable and fine fabrics from cotton, flax, wool and silk and to color them. The Lydians gave to mankind the famous Tyrian purple, which became the badge of royalty and the ancient Egyptians added their bit to dress decoration. About IGOO B." C. these people were wearing a garment called the kalasiris (No. 2), a long, straight hanging, rather close-fitting garment, both with and without sleeves, which looked something like the modern kimono. The ancient 7^ I Tp e TA I (I \ » % 10 Greeks improved upon this costume somewhat with their simple tunics (No. 3) fastened at the shoulder and held in at the waist with a girdle. The Romans, however, went in more for the long, loose and flowing robes, and the toga of the highclass Roman was dear to his heart. It was pf ample proportions, as much as 18 feet wide and banded with purple to indicate high rank. Adjusting the toga was no simple matter. It was circular, folded almost in half and then draped in a formal and elaborate fashion. Although the Romans despised bifurcated garments (which is a polite way of saying “pants”) as being the mark of slaves, Roman soldiers.

after the! First century A. D., wore a primitive sort of t,rousers, which were rather tight and came down only to the calves of the legs. The Roman paenuhi, worn from the Second to the Fifth centuries, was a cape-like garment, probably a development of the toga, which dropped down over the head and fell in folds In front and behind. The tunic replaced the toga for the reason no doubt that it was simpler and allowed greater freedom of movement. This is an example of the way in which men's clothes have varied from time to time to conform to their chief Interests. When action and fighting were their principal activity, their garments were simple, loose-fitting and short, but when security and idleness predominated, their clothes, In the earlier ages, were long, full and cumbersome, and later very tight, necessitating short miming steps and dainty movements. The clothing of men In central and western Europe shows the Roman Influence with variations, characteristic of their times ami their race. In the costume of the Frankish citizen (No. 4), worn A. D. 4<>O to GOO, may be seen the familiar tunic, but the sleeves are enthered at the wrists, there is an embroidered girdle ami embroidery at the bottom of the tunic and short trousers are worn under the stockimrs. A donk (No. 5) fastened at the right shoulder with a clasp completes the costume. From the Eleventh to the Thirteenth century clothing such as shown A & -" r In No. G was worn. Tin* upper garment, a descendant of the tunic m>w kn.un . •’. । point. Had bfcorne ao short that finally it wi • just about long enough to eov<r the body The lower garments were tights, made of an da-tie material, similar to the modern jersey. If the costtime of the Frenchman of this period I- < omparatively simple, his German brother (No. 7) more than made up for It with ids display. Although the coat of this German burgher of the Twelfth century is long, it Is divided from and back up the body so as to drape on each sole when he was riding. With a wealth of hand- -n e materials to choose from, he adorned himself with this costume with it- different patterns of goods used on the right ami left sides and the ornamented sleeves and cuffs. The costume of the French workimtn of the Fourteenth century (No. 8) shows not only a development of the combination hood and cape which the French called “capuchon” and the German “kupuze,” but it also shows the increasing tendency to tightness of the trousers. Heretofore not so much attention was paid to this article of dress, but as the tunic became shorter jW ilk I Kt® O'o nW W' IF j it was necessary to pay more attention to having a sightly pair of nether garments. The tunic was red, held in by a black steel-trimmed girdle, the hat was black, the capuchon green and the trousers were gray and continued to the feet with leather sewed on the soles. So with this array of colors, the French workman of 500 years ago presented a decided contrast to the blue overalls and jumpers of the workman of today. The German patrician’s costume (No. 9). common about 1500, is an example of the erminetrimmed tunic which was slipped over the head. It was also a gay array of colors—the tunic emerald green, the leather belt red, the “hosen” orange red and the shoes and hat dark green. Not quite so “fussy,” more artistic, but equally gay as to color is that of the Venetian youth (No. 10) with his brick red cap and tights, his gold collar clasp and necklet and his crimson velvet cape lined with blue brocaded velvet. The young Englishman of the Sixteenth century (No. 11) improved upon this costume with his striped trunks of Spanish style, bis long, pointed shoes, his corslet of leather or steel, his -scalloped collar, and the jaunty feather in his hat. Although the English style in trunks appears gay enough it was mild in comparison to those affected in Sppin where the fashion was so extreme that in order to hold the trunks in shape the young Spanish swells stuffed them with wool or cotton. Sometimes they extended nine inches from the body and were slashed lengthwise from top to bottom, with insertions of contrasting colors in

Sees War This Year That the next World war will start on May 28, 1928, and continue until September IG, 1936, was the prediction of Basil Stewart at the annual meeting of the British Israelites, recently held at London. “This date is foretold in exactly the same way as was August 14, 1914, through the symbolism of the Great pyramid, which

The Swedish gentleman of that period (No. 12) wore a costume in which the clothes designers of his time used a great deal of Imagination, as witness the puffy red and white striped sleeves on the yellow sureoat, the red trousers, the white vest and gauntlets and olive sash, a brown hat with a plume and swaggering soft leather boots, and a starched Elizabethan ruffed collar. Americans who may be Inclined to laugh at the foregoing costumes may well take a look at 71 1 H \n i i m No. 13 and reflect that if their ancestors were memtHTß of Cnpt. John Smith's Virginian colony they would be wearing just such nn outfit as that. It consisted of a doublet with long oversbeves hanging from the shoulders, padded breeches fns’em-d with “points'* of colored velvet or cloth, collar and cuffs of starched linen, silk stockings fastened with garters tied in a bow, Fit bnt with embroidered band nnd plume, low shoes tied with laces nnd gauntlets of soft leather. Or If they trace their ancestry from the patroons of New Amsterdam they can see In No. 1 I how that ancestor dressed. Shades of the simple three button sack coat of today! If they < an claim among their ancestors a signer of the Declaration of lndej»endence It Is probable that be wore such un outfit as Is shown in No. 15. when he -topped f.»rward to -ign that Immortal document. The rollarle-s cent was plain, but the ornamentation was pro\ld' I by a waistcoat of contrasting color, a white neckcloth with a starched frill tucked Into the o-q, velvet cuffs on the coat sb-e.f- and shirt sleeves made of soft cambric, having frilled extensions which fell down over the hands. Men - tiothu.g in th»* early day- of the Re- < z * ? .. .Z J M public was a combination of survivals from the foppishne-s of colonial times and of tiie simple more or less standardized suits of today. The costume (No. It',) prevalent during the first half of the Nineteenth century is colonial in its knee breeches, -tock tie and cocked hat, but the coat is a promise of the type of such future garments that were to be adopted. Over in France at about the time of the French Revolution the type of coat known as the swallow tall or pen point (No. 17) became popular and it was also worn in England and the United States with a few modifications. The notch in the lapel of this coat marks the origin of the notch in the collar as we know It today’ and in other respects it was a logical forebear to the costume shown in No. 18. Here Americans definitely assumed long trousers and this Chesterfield outfit was popular with the good dressers of IS4O to 1850. The next period in American men's clothing Is shown in No. 19, a typical example of men’s styles at the time of the Civil war. Showing the influence of the Victorian era when beauty was » t 1 ; i C apparently taboo and all that was ugly in houses and furniture and so-called art was allowed full development, this costume brings us down to the present age of standardization. It is a protest against this standardization which causes the uprising of such freak styles as that shown in No. 20 —the "patent-haired” young sheik witli his slashed, bell-bottomed trousers, his tight-fit-ting coat, extravagant cuffs, gaudy shin, sash belt and sport shoes. If you are inclined to laugh at costumes No. 1 to 19 think how the wearers of those costumes would laugh at No. 20!

The last time the symbolical stone was limestone and this time it is granite, which means a far harder struggle on a much bigger scale” He added that Great Britain and her colonies will win, and that । Russia will be wiped out

Improved Uniform International | Sunday School ' Lesson' (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D.D.. Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (©. 1928. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 1 JESUS THE SUFFERING MESSIAH LESSON TEXT—.Mark 8:27-38. GOLDEN TEXT,—Whoever will come . after Me, let him deny himself and । take up his cross and follow Me. PRIMARY TOPlC—Jesus the Great I Hero. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Heroism of Je- | BUS. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Cost of Beinif Loyal to Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Jesus Interprets His Messiahship. I. Peter’s Confession of Christ (w 27-30). Two questions of Jesus provoked this confession. 1. “Who do men say that 1 am?” (vv. 27. 28). This question referred to the opinions of the people regarding Jesus. Some believed Him to be John, the Baptist some Elijah, and some, one of the prophets They all recognized Him to be a teacher or prophet with more than ' human authority and power. Jesus was not content with this acknowl- ! edgment Had He been satisfied with this He would not have been molested i in Jerusalem, for the Jews willingly acknowledged Him as much more than ■ a human teacher. 2. "Who say ye ; that I am?" (vv. 29, 30). Jesus per- | slstently claimed to be the Gmj man. I the very Son of God Incarnate. He j wanted the personal opinion of the 1 disciples concerning Himself. 11. Jesus’ Teaching Concerning the Cross (vv. 31-33). He charged the disciples not to make public Ills Messiahship as that would precipitate the crisis. The disciples had much need of instruction yet. to prepare them for the crucial hour of the cross. 1. What He taught (v. 31). (1) “The Son of Man must suffer many things.” He suffered physical ' weariness and hunger, ridicule and I contempt nnd even misunderstanding I nnd l:i< k of appreciation on the part ' of his friends and disciples. (2) "Be rejected of the elders, j chief priests and scribes.” These were ! the nation’s official representatives, the very ones who should have known and received Christ and recommended Ills reception on the part of the nation. Truly He came to His own and His own received Him not (John 1 :11). (3) “Be killed.” This announcement was startling to the disciple?. They had not yet come to realize that redemption was to be accomplished through the passion and the cross, j Je-us now states with definiteness and ! c' itu Jity | that He mu.-t die on the I (4) “Rise again.” Though this was utterly incomprehensible to the disciples, He showed them that this would t>e the glorious issue of His death. 2. How the disciples received His : teaching (v. 32). So unwelcome was His teaching touching the cross that Peter, the ■ sjiokesman of the diseiplea, rebuked ! Him. Peter later saw through this . darkness the light of glory on the ' hilltops beyond (I Pet. 1:3, 4). 3. Jesus rebukes Peter (v. 33). He told Peter plainly that his attitude ! was due to his being under the in- i fluence of the devil. 111. Jesus Going to Jerusalem to Die (Mark 10:32-34). Jesus went to Jerusalem with the consciousness of the awful tragedy of the cross before Him; the treachery ; of Judas, the fiery persecutions of the priests, the unjust Judgment, the delivery to Pontius Pilate, the mocking, the scourging, the crown of thorns, the cross between malefactors, the nails and the spear all were spread before Him. He moved on to His goal, not by external necessity but a fixed purpose. He had not only come 1 "to minister but to give His life a ransom for many." The joyous out- i look of the victory which was to be accomplished through the shedding of His blood led Him forward (Heb 12:2). IV. The Cost of Discipleship (Mark 8:34). The law of the Christian life Is suf- i feeing. To follow Christ means ro | turn one's back upon the world. To • repudiate the world means to incur the hatred of the world; to be Christians therefore means to share Christ's suffering. 1. There must be denial of self (v. 34). There is a wide difference lietween self-denial and denial of self. All people practice self-denial, bur only Christians deny self. The way to heaven is the way of sacrifice and denial of self. 2. The cross must be taken up | (v. 34). This means the suffering ami shame which lie in the pathway of loyalty to God. To live the godly life means suffering (11 Tim. 3:12). 3. Christ must be followed (v. 34) This means to have the mind ot Christ (Phil. 2: 5) and to (terform the service of Christ. The blessed issue, of following Christ is a life of freedom here and now, and eternal life hereafter. Christ the All in All Jesus Christ is the heart of the Bible. He is the Shiloh in Genesis; I the I Am in Exodus; the Star and i Scepter in Numbers; the Rock in Deuteronomy; the Captain of the ■ i Lord’s Host in Joshua; the Redeemer in Job. He is David's Lord and Shepherd: in the Song of Songs He is the Beloved; in Isaiah He is the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, ami the Prince of Peace. In Jeremiah, He is the Lord our Righteousness; in Daniel, He is the Messiah: in Zechariah He is the Branch; in Hagai He is the ' Desire of all nations; in Maladd IF is the Messtrger of the Covenant and the Sun of Righteousness; and in the i Book of Revelation Ho is the Alpha I and Omega and also the Morning Star. | R.
