First of New Fail Modes Offers No Startling Departures From
Lines That Make Up the Silhouette of the Oay—General
Direction of the New Coiffures Is Toward Greater Elab
oration Than Has Been Seen for Several Years.
If the earliest arrival in suits de
signed for early fall wear is repre
sentative of the coming mode, let us
be thnnkful that it is a Russian in
spiration. For elegance and the
spice of style, for general becomlng
riess and class there is nothing better
than the Russian blouse. It is excep
tionally fine in rich fabrics, velvets and
firm broadcloth. Fur belongs to it.

EARLIEST ARRIVAL IN FALL SUITS.
and is destined to play a great role in
trimmings.
The first of the new fall modes is
presented in the picture above, for
the benefit of those who must be pre
pared early for the coming of cool
weather. It will be seen that it offers
no startling departures from the lines
that make up the silhouette of the
day. The skirt is full and out very'
little longer than shoe-top length. In
many of the new skirts the fullness
is confined in narrow side plaits at the
waist. It is undraped and finished
with a hem.
The coat follows the Russian model
closely in line, but departs from it in
the ragltin sleeve. It fastens at the
left front with a row of large bone

form the decorative feature, appearing
on the sleeve and on the body of the
garment. A narrow belt of the fab

high turnover collar promises another

material is a panne velvet.
Worn with this suit a georgette sail

equal to that of the costume. This is
an outfit to delight the heart of the
slender woman, for in it she will look
her best.
While hairdressers appear to be
experimenting with many different
styles, the general direction of the new
coiffures is toward ' greater elabora
tion than we have had for several
years. It Is noticeable that the lore
head Is covered more, the hair is al
most always waved and puffs and
curls are dividing honors with soft
coils as a means of disposing of the
back hair.
This variety in style makes a happy
of affairs^ fqr those who are
looking for something new in the way
of a becoming hairdress. Having se
lected the most becoming of the coif
fures, milady may stick to it until
something that pleases her more
comes along.
The two coiffures pictured are pret
ty and easily done. The hair is waved
about the head for botli of them. In
the style shown at the left the hair is
combed back in a small pompadou.'
and brought to the crown, where it is
divided into four strands. These are
arranged in four coils across the back
Shell pins support the hair at the
sides and n comb is thrust in at the
back.
In the other coiffure all the hair is
waved and arranged in a long French
twist which reaches to the forehead.
It is loosely coiled and pulled down
over the middle and at each side of
the brow. Little wire pins hold the
waved hair iu the correct lines at the
sides.
Both these coiffures look more ela
borate than they are in reality. It is
the discriminating use of pins that
gives them the neat appearance and
finish that is always the chief charm
of any style.

Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of
(lie Sunday School Course of the Moody
Bible Institute. Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.)
LESSON FOR AUGUST 20
RIOT AT EPHESUS.
LESSON TEXT-Acts 19:23-41.
GOLDEN TEXT—The love of money is
the root of all kinds of evil.—l Tim. 6:10.
Teachers ought to have good maps
and keep before the minds of their
classes both the ancient and modern
names of the places Paul visited. Paul
resided at Ephesus nearly three years,
A. D. 53 to 56. The events of this les
son occurred about three years after
our last lesson in Acts.
I. The Missionary Work of Paul
(vv. 1-10). How long Paul remained at
Antioch after his second journey we
do not know, but having passed
through the "upper coast” he came to
this city of Ephesus, which was an
important city and a great mission
field. In Revelations 2 and 3 is a list
of the churches which he evangelized
from this center. It was a great and
effectual door for him (I Cor. 6:9;
read also Acts 20:17; 2:35). In this
city Paul found a religious guild of 12
members (see vv. 2-7), whose relig
ious experience needed the enrichment
of the Holy Spirit; a like need is ever
before the Christian church.
11. The Miracles Wrought by Paul
(vv. 11-20). Ephesus was g center of
magic and witchcraft, and special
power was given Paul to work mira
cles which confounded the magicians
in this, their stronghold. The Gospel
proves its power most and best by
transforming the characters of men.
Deeds of love and service are the best
proofs of Christianity, and these are
the things which awaken heathen na
tions to seek after the Christian relig
ion. Rut such deeds are often imi
tated as in this case. (See v. 13.)
However, only the real spirit of Christ
can work the true workings of the
Gospel, and thus the name of the Lord
Jesus was magnified in Ephesus. Imi
tation is often the sincerest form of
flattery.
111. The Mob’s Attack Upon Paul’s
Work (vv. 21-41). The first result of
Paul’s work was the burning of the
books of magic (vv. 18-20). Many who
had been dupes of the magicians
ceased their secret practices and de
clared their wrongdoings in this pub
lic manner. Literally, book after book
was thrown into the fire, much the
same as in Florence Savonarola had
his “bonfire of vanities.” Paul’s won
derful success had to have its testing
before he left. The Gospel “way.” the
way of salvation, of true living, is
sure to create a stir sooner or Inter.
Preach the Gospel faithfully and fully,
and it will stir up any community. It
is not necessarily a bad sign when
things begin to be disturbed. It may
simply indicate that Jhe fire is get
ting hot. The good results of reviv
als do not hurt business, but they do
hurt the devil. So that “big business”
was intensely stirred up in the city
of Ephesus. Demetrius, their leader,
uttered a striking and truthful com
mendation of Paul (v. 26), although
it was entirely unintentional. (See
I Thess. 1:9-10). Demetrius does not
seem to seek to controvert the preach
ing of Paul, or that it did not square
with the word of God, but rather that
it would interfere with financial con
siderations. The modern w r orld is full
of descendants of the Ephesian silver
smiths, —politicians and business in
terests which defend the saloon, and
fairly respectable citizens who receive
rents from such business, or from im
moral or unsanitary properties, and
who cry out against any reform which
interferes with trade and money mak
ing. There are many today who are
very enthusiastic religionists if they
can coin money out of it or get into
an office.
At (his theater meeting (Paul was
not present, vv. 29, 31) Demetrius ap
pealed (1) to wealth, (2) to religion,
(3) to the honor and fame of the city,
and (4) he also made an esthetic ap
peal, (vv. 25, 26, 27). The Jews put
forward one of their number, Alexan
der, to make a defense unto the peo
ple, and to show that they were not
in sympathy with Paul and his com
panions in their preaching against the
worship of Diana or that as Jewish
Christians they did not maliciously
hope to destroy the worship of Diana
and the business interests of that city.
Their effort, however, only stirred the
mob to a larger shout, “Great is Diana
of the Ephesians,” which lasted for
two hours. #
Those who yell the loudest think
they are sure to prove their point,
though in such a way the point does
not stay proved. Puul combines fear
less courage and humble common
sense, and, while he fain would ap
peal to the mob (v. 30), he refrained.
The mob must soon awaken to the
manliness and spirit of Paul’s soul.
It was the town clerk who interfered
(v. 35-41) and by skillful management
quelled the excited mob. He was the
temple keeper and showed that the
worship of Diana was so settled in
Ephesus that no company of Jews
could overthrow it, and that they did
not have any real cause for violence.
He also emphasizes the fact that
the image of Diana, their chief god,
had been mirao-Viusly sent to thc'ifj
by Jupiter. 1 \d attention to

THE COUNTERPLOT
By KEITH KENYON.
Susy opened and closed her fan im
patiently while Bob went on pleading
ly : "You used to care, Sue. I’m posi
tive you did. At least you were awful
ly nice to me, and at the Washington
ball you didn’t mind a bit when I took
six dances. It’s all I can do now to
get one.”
‘‘Bob, you're greedy! Just because
It happened that you got more than
your share of dances once you expect
the same thing forever.”
‘‘You are begging the question, Sue.
If one must use plain English, here
goes: You know I love you. I told
you so two months ago, and you prom
ised to answer my question in a week.
That was the week Bert Ewing came,
and you scarcely looked my way once
while he was here. I guess you for
get that I’m still waiting. I can’t stand
this suspense any longer. What is it
to be —yes or no, Sue?”
She temporized. "Suppose it’s no!”
‘‘lt’s just about what I expected!”
bitterly.
It was the spark needed to send the
tinder into ilame.
“You’re jealous—that’s what you
are, and I’m sure it would be anything
but bliss to spend the rest of my days
with you. So I’ll say ‘No’ since you’re
so anxious to hear it.”
Bob made no answer. The music
had stopped and the return to the
house was made in silence.
Susy convinced herself that she had
done exactly right in refusing Bob. "If
I had said ‘Yes’ to him tonight, that
would have meant slavery for the rest
of my days.”
But that night, after she got into
bed, somehow things looked different,
rite despair in Bob’s eyes had gone
straight to her heart and stayed there.
3o she cried herself to sleep.
Daylight lightened her remorse, how
ever. She realized now that although
she was sure she loved Bob, she was
just as certain that he was unduly
jealous. Aud so her busy brain
batched a plan that was calculated to
set everything right in the future.
So she wrote the following letter to
Bert Ewing and dispatched it forth
with :
“Dear Bert: You told me to count
upon you when I needed a friend. I
do need one now, and I want you to
do me an unusual favor. I don’t want
to be engaged to you for two reasons
—first, because I don’t love you, aud
second, because you don’t love me—
but would it be convenient to let peo
ple think we are for a little while?
You see (I may as well tell you) it’s
Bob. He’s so jealous aud I want to
cure him before I take him for good
and all. I refused him last night.
"Faithfully,
“SUE.”
To which letter Bert replied in the
affirmative, declaring his intention of
spending the next two weeks in town
anyway and saying they could “fix
things up.”
So Bert arrived and, by paying Susy
constant attention and acting the part
of the devoted lover, the rumor soon
got abroad that they were engaged.
But, to Susy’s consternation, the ef
fect upon Bob was not ail that could
have been desired.
His spirits hud risen like a barometer
on a bright sunny day, the cause be
ing apparently pretty Isabel Fleming,
whose brother happened to be Bert
Ewing’s host.
Secretly Susy raged. “Bob’s making
a perfect goose of himself. The idea
of pretending to be so completely an
nihilated when I said ‘No.’ ”
Bert had to leave finally, and Susy
went with him to the station. There
they met Isabel and Bob waiting for
the same train. Susy's heart sunk
when she saw the traveling bags. It
looked like a honeymoon! But, to her
relief, Isabel said good-by to her escort
and turned to Bert as the train came
in.
“Take good care of her 1” called Bob.
“You bet I will 1” returned Bert as
he and Isabel disappeared inside.
Bob faced Susy. “May I drive you
home?” It was the first time he had
spoken since the night she had refused
him.
“Yes,” she answered. And then with
a catch in her voice: “Oh, Bob, when
you can’t get Isabel you want me! Do
you think it’s fair! You’ve scarcely
looked nt me lately.”
“It works both ways, I think,” he
said grimly. “You haven’t had much
time yourself.”
“But I didn’t mean anything, Bob.
Really there was nothing in it all.”
“All right. I’m glad of it, but I
don't see why you’re telling me.”
“Be —because I don’t love anyone
but you, Bob, and I’m sorry I said ‘No.’ ”
They were in the motor now and had
taken the long way home. The road,
walled in by trees on both sides, was
quite secluded.
“You’re sure you mean that, are you,
Sue?”
“Yes, I’m sure! Very sure!”
He drew a long breath. “It’s good
to hear you say so, dear. I’ve always
loved you devotedly and I do this min
ute, dear little Susy.”
“But why were you so nice to Isa
bel?”
He hesitated. “We were good
friends; that’s all. Just like you and
Ewing. I suppose. Do you know where
they are going?” mm

HAD A FEAR OF LIGHTNING
Lifelong Dread Made Woman Uncon
scious and She Died From
Fright.
During a thunderstorm at Newton,
N. .1., a woman who “through all her
life of fifty years had felt a nervous
dread of lightning” became uncon
scious from fright and died.
Cannot the multitudes of otherwise
rational people who are obsessed by
the same dread take counsel of the
fate of this unfortunate and allay j
their fears? asks the New York World, j
They suffer an access of terror in j
every thunderstorm, and in effect un- j
dergo the agony of death many times, j
Yet there are few other forms of I
death so painless or so remote. In j
1912 in the whole country only 243 per
sons were killed by lightning, of whom j
but 42 were females. Women, who !
mainly feel this fear, should be en
couraged by their greater immunity.
But, in fact, twice as many people
are burned to death in conflagrations
in a year as are killed by thunderbolts,
and the number of those who die from
organic heart disease compared with
those who die from lightning is as 354
to 1.
No doubt the superstition that has
attached from the earliest times to
deaths by lightning has had some
thing to do with the survival of the
fear. People who view their inescap
able exit from this world with philos
ophy should be ready to accept a light
ning stroke as an end as easy as any
other. It is too instantaneous to ad
mit of physical sensation, while the
fear-ridden are assured that if the
flash is seen the sufferer is safe.

RESEARCH WOR£ IN AM^I
Future Will Witness Wider Appi
tion of Principle Which Has Al
ready Done So Much.
Prophecy is a double-adged tool with
a peculiar facility for injuring the
user, but the activity of the present
leads one to predict that each suc
ceeding year will bring us nearer to
the state in which the research work
of the country will be national in
both scope and effort.
The federal government and the
states have done and are conducting
research of immenes value to agricul
ture, the foundation of industry; but
the future will witness a more general
application of<his principle —an active
national interest in industrial re
search, and this will serve as a healthy
subsidy for American manufacturers.
Research has enabled our industries
to make rapid strides. The recogni
tion of this fact has occasioned a re
cent awakening to an increased sense
of appreciation of the need of greater
facilities for insuring the scientific de
velopment and extension of industry
and commerce and of promoting indus
trial research.
