Success of One-Piece Dress Well Established, and Now Begins Exer

Won’t Become Monotonous—Chat on Sports Clothes. When
to Wear and What Materials Should Go into Garments.
The success of the one-piece dress
goes without saying—it is already a
thing of history. And now begins the
exercise of ingenuity in ringing
changes on tlds one predominant
theme, so that the one-piece dress may
run no risk of becoming monotonous.
This has already been done with so
much cleverness that the one-piece

dress is farther away from simplicity
than any other and we are looking for
further surprises.
Here is a frock of serge, trimmed
with silk braid, that scorns all in
tricacies in construction or decoration.
It presents its straight linos, almost
unbroken from shoulder to hem, and
Its even rows of braid, sure of com
pelling admiration. The devotee of
the tailored suit will be easily recon
ciled to this aspirant for favors, in
place of'the skirt and coat that have
held first place so long.
The usual order of things is re
versed in this skirt, for it is fulled
into the waist at the front and back,
while the panels at the sides nre
plain. The short bodice follows the
lines of the natural figure, and a belt
is simulated by parallel rows of
braid stitched at the waistline. It
fastens at the left side with snap
fasteners and has an open throat that
accommodates a pluin white collar
which may be of organdie or crepe.
The sleeves nre plain and are not nar
rowed or widened at the wrist. This
is in keeping with their finish of clean
cut rows of braid. Large, flat pockets
at each side of the skirt are covered

with braid and bound with it, in the
best manner of the tailor. “Well-tail
ored” is written on this straightfor
ward, businesslike dress, in its tine
adjustment to the figure, and in the
precision and faultlessness of work
manship which commend it.
Sports clothes ar# a new dispensa
tion And they have brought about a
new order of things. Special goods are
I woven for them, special designs in
those goods and in other goods are
made for them, and these designs are
made up in special ways. Sports
dlothes are spirited, ultra modern, ex
pressive of the woman of today, and
mrfre or less elegant. They are be
coming—like everything else—more
and more luxurious. Hut their elegance
is not measured by the richness of ma
terial used.
It seems that the term “sports
clothes” is destined to cover attire for
all outdoor life—or at least that sports
clothes will hardly be considered out
of place anywhere out of doors. They
appear to have made for themselves
a permanent place.
One of the new fabrics used for
sports suits Is shown above. It has a
silky crepelike surface, substantial
weight and durability. It is one of
several new fabrics, each with a name
of its own, that have made a place for
themselves which promises to be en
during.
In the suit pictured, tlie skirt is
made of a cross-barred pattern in the
material in which bright colors are de
fined against a plain ground. The
sweater coat lias a wide shawl collar
of tiie cross-bar. Very large pearl
buttons fasten the overlapping ends
of tlie belt. Just now suits of this
kind are worn with plain blouses of
crepe de chine or of linen or fine cot
ton. Tlie vogue of sports clothes
have colors a wonderful impetus.
On plain grounds, broad stripes, cross
liars, disks and checks appear in bold
but enchanting colors. This season
stripes are broken with figures in
contrasting colors and the introduc
tion of Chinese and Japanese motifs
has proved a valuable acquisition in
working out color schemes.

Wise Folk Know All Rules Are
Meant to Be Broken.
WHEN TO DO IT IS QUESTION
•
Fixed Regularity in the Daily Routine
Is Essential With Very Young
Children —Latitude May Be
Allowed the Older Ones.
By SIDONIE M. GRUENBERG.
WISE folks know that nil rules are
meant to be broken, but it is not
safe to let the children find it out too
soon. It happens that some grow up
without ever finding out, and a hard
time of it they have ever after.
We can understand the astonishment
of Aunt Jo, who dropped in unexpect
edly one evening and found eight-year
old Marion sitting up and reading, and
ilie hour long after the usual bedtime.
“Why, 1 thought your children never
stayed up after seven o’clock!” was
her way of showing that she knew that
rules were rules. That had heen the
rule; that was still the rule for the
younger children. “But now,” ex
plained the mother, “Marion stays up
a.half hour later on Saturday nights,
bqgpuse she can sleep later on Sun
day. and because father comes home
Inter on Saturday.”
These were very good reasons for
staying up later; but to some people
there never seems to be a good reason
for breaking a rule, and that is really
what bothers them —the difficulty of
using discretion. Aunt Jo was one of
those people, and she was one of u
very large company.
With very young children it is essen
tial to have a fixed regularity in the
daily routine, if it can possibly be
carried out. This is necessary, be
cause it is the only way of getting
children into the habit of disposing of
the daily necessities in a routine way.
In the matter of eating, sleeping and
dressing, *in putting away tops and
clothes, in table manners and in the
details of courteous conduct, the rou
tine must be observed, with never an
exception. It Is apparently the only
way of making sure of the habits.
You know the saying about being
offered an inch and taking a yard.
Well, that seems to be particularly true
of children on the way to learning the
rules of life’s game. A change from
the ordinary means a license to ignore
the rule. During this period, there
fore, every departure from the routine
involves a serious setback. When
habits are being acquired, no excep
tion should be permitted. But after
habits have been formed they must not
be allowed to interfere with common
sense or with our happiness.
A friend out shopping with her little
girl met me on a crowded street on a
warm day. After talking of nothing
in particular for a few moments she
told me hnlf-apologetieally that they
were about to get some ice cream soda,
and asked whether I would join them.
She explained her hesitation by say
ing: “I did not think you would ap
prove of children drinking ice cream
soda.” And, of course, I do not—as a
steady diet. There are no doubt many
children who consume too much of the
colored and sweetened juices that are
sold under various fancy names. And
there is no doubt that children should
learn to quench their thirst with wa
ter. It is also true that if you give
them a chance they will nag and nag
until you yield tlie nickel or dime that

Perfectly Legitimate to Satisfy the
Taste for the Cold and Sweet Con
fections.
t
the soda water man wants. But for
all that it is perfectly legitimate to
satisfy the taste for the cold and the
sweet and the flavored confections —
on occasions, and in moderation.
It is a bad rule to indulge the soda
water habit; but it’s also a bad rule to
be absolute in our approvals or disap
provals. We are not compelled to say
to a child, either, “You may always
have what you wish,” or, “You may
never have what you wish." It is this
always-or-never attitude, this inflexi
bility of judgment that antagonizes
and estranges the growing child and
makes us old before our time. And 4t
is quite unnecessary, for tt is possible
to give the growing child a wholesome
routine mitigated by more and more
variety. It is possible for children to
learn that there nre justifiable excep
tions to the usual way of doing things.
Children love novelty so much, in
general, that they are quite eager for
everything that is out of the ordinary.
Sometimes, however, they quickly be
come attached to the comfort of fixed
routine. This seems to have been the
case with Alfred when his fnotber
wanted him to go to sleep in a dif-
ferent room one evening, as she ex
pected company and wished him to
be farther from the noise. Alfred
stuck to rules and traditions. He
had always slept in that bed, and he
would not change now. Lie was prom
ised that he would be taken back to
Ills own bed during the nlghL and
would not be disturbed; but he held
out against the irregularity of the
proceeding—lt was an unheard of
thing to go to sleep in one place and
wake up somewhere else. But father
called attention to the fact that peo
ple go to sleep In a railway car in one
city and wake up in another city many
miles away. That was Interesting;
and Alfred fell into the game of play
ing that he was to take a journey
frym n distant city, and was to wake
up in Ids own bed In the morning.
This worked very well us a trick;
but if that were repeated too fre
quently it would soon break up any
sense of order—or, rather, the new
way might gradually replace the old
order.
That Is indeed the danger in mak
ing exceptions; but we must not be
deterred by the danger. We must vary
the routine ns need arises and thus
teach tlie children that a rule is not
something absolute, but a convenience.
We must teach them, also, to he the

masters of their habits, and not the
slaves. Children must retain as long
as possible that peculiar power of
youth—the ability to change from one
set of habits to another. With ad
vancing years and judgment, this
means the ability to use discretion
without rejecting the benefits of regu
larity.
REALIZED HIS GOOD LUCK
Old Man Probably Had Never Consid
ered His Position in Just That
Light Before.
A Massachusetts man who recently
returned from an automobile trip
through northern New Englaud had a
small mishap on the way home that
obliged him to do some tinkering on
the car. As the breakdown occurred
in a pleasant bit of woods, the family
found amusement in strolling about
the neighborhood while the head of the
family made the repairs.
He had been at work only a few
minutes when an old man strolled up
with his hands behind his back and
prepared to watch the progress of the
work. He asked no questions and of
fered no comments, but his fnce wore
a friendly smile. After a time, having
apparently grown tired of standing, he
found a seat on a rock by the side of
the road and continued to watch.
“Live round here?” asked the car
owner at last.
“Ye-up. Lived here all my Ufa; born
here, in fact.”
“Farmer, I suppose?”
“No, not now. I used to be, but 1
gave it up.” t
“Well, you don’t seem to be very
busy? You have plenty of time on your
hands, haven’t you?"
“Ye-up; lots of it.”
“What do you do now. If I may ask?”
“Don’t do nothing. Haln’t done noth
ing for nearly ten years.”
“So? Why, you're in luck! If I did
nothing for half that length of time
I should be in the poorhouse.”
The old man’s face beamed with a
glad surprise, and then, as one who
knows his rare good fortune and
values it at its just worth, he cried
delightedly: “That’s where I be I” —

Economy.
In the third-class compartment of
the city train the conversation turned
on the important subject of economy.
Various views were expressed. Then
a small man in oue corner said, slow
ly:
“A friend o’ mine—leastways, ’e’s
more of an acquaintance like —’e ain’t
spent a ’a’penny in five years.”
“Hot! What are you givin’ us?”
and similar remarks greeted this state
ment.
“Fact!” said the small one, briefly,
as he lit his pipe. “But ’e’U be out of
jail next week!” —London Tit-Bits.

“I hud the narrowest kind of an es
cape from getting into terrible trouble
last night," confessed old Festus
Pjester. “The family that moved in
next door to us yesterday have a hound
dog which yapped and yammered all
night long. When I could endure no
more of it 1 arose and threw a shoe at
him. Thank heaven, I missed him, for

of the family is second cousin to a

SINMrSOIOOL
Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS, ‘Acting Director of
the Sunday School Course in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 11)17, Western Newspaper Union.)
LESSON FOR JANUARY 28
REVERENCE OF JESUS FOR HIS
FOLLOWERS’ HOUSE.
LESSON TEXTWohn 2:13-22.
GOLDEN TEXT—My house shall be
called a house of prayer.—Matt. 21:13.
Skipping, the details of genealogy,
birth and boyhood, John plunges into
the work and ministry of our Lord.
Our previous lessons have taken up
tlie matter of his eternal Godhead, the
word made flesh, the witness of John,
Jesus and John the Baptist, his first
disciples and tlie wedding at Canaan.
Some of these events have been skipped
over without much consideration, yet
the teacher should review them briefly.
The wedding at Canaan probably oc
curred in March, A. D. 27, and the
events of this lesson in April of the
Passover week of that year, both
events occurring early in the fifst year
of the ministry of our Lord. Jesus
went to the wedding for he had many
tilings to teach by means of it. The
story is familiar, and yet God is per
forming tlie same miracle every year
except by somewhat slower process.
John lays strong emphasis upon the
“signs" winch Jesus performed as evi
dence of his office. This miracle is an
allegory. It also throws light upon
Jesus’ relation to the home.
I. Jesus Applies the Word of God
(vv. 12-17). As the "Son of the Law”
Jesus observed all of its requirements
and therefore went to the Passover
(Deut. 16:16; Luke 2:41). We would
suggest the reading of Edersheim’s
I‘Lil'e of Christ” at this point, especial
ly his description of the feast. Jesus
found much of interest, and also saw
that which tilled his spirit with indig
nation as he entered the temple (v.
1-f). Great numbers of oxen and sheep
and doves were required for the sacri
fices. Every family must bring for
sacrifice a lamb, the sacrifices being
lain in the Inner court near the groat
altar. Those living nearer the city
could bring their own sacrifices, but
those who came from far distant points
found it more convenient to purchase
their sacrifices nearer the temple. Thus
a business had grown up within the
courts, which gave rise to an immense
amount of covetousness and selfish
ness. The yearly tax due from every
Jew could not be received except in
the native coin; hence the money
chhngers within the courts. The re
sult’was that the temple had become a
“den of thieves” (Mark 11:17). This
had undermined the power of religion,
and turned men away from the truth.
This place, made to be a house of
prayer (Jer. 7:11; Isa. 56:7) had be
come a vanity fair; a show, and the
very object of the temple was sacri
ficed to the greed of gain. The de
fense often made in our day, of buy
ing and selliug in the house of God
that it has to do with the cause of
worship win not bear scrutiny in tlie
light of this passage. Into these sur
roundings this young reformer enters,
and places his finger upon the heart
of the matter when he quote%the scrip
ture. The reason of his action was
what the scripture said about the
house of God. Present day followers
of Jesus can learn a lesson from these
words.
11. Jesus Fulfills the Word of God
(vv. 18-22). Jesus spake as one hav
ing authority, and these merchants
knew they were in the wrong. He em
bodied in himself, as prophet, The
moral sentiment of the nation, and ex
erted his authority. It looked like high
handed usurpation unless Jesus were a
prophet sent from God; therefore the
demand for his credentials (v. 18).
Jesus gave a sign, a sign which they
did not understand at the time (v. 19;
Matt. 12:38-40; 16:1-4). The resur-,
rection of Jesus is God’s seal to all of
the claims of Jesus. He also speaks
of his body as a symbol and type of
what is to take place in their national
temple, an event which occurred some
forty years later, though they at the
time did not understand it. Jesus fore
saw that these leaders would destroy
his body on the cross, and that for the
same reason they were at the present
time opposing him in what he had
done. The Jews, thinking only of their
temple, in whose courts they were
standing, referred to the time spent in
the erection of the building (v. 20),
and thought that their qrguinent was
invincible, but they did not know what
was to take place. Not even the dis
ciples of Jesus understood his words
at the time, but after his resurrection
they remembered them and their ful
fillment. The death and resurrection
of Jesus was in accordance with the
word of God. His whole life, birth and
works can be traced in the Old Testa
ment in type and prophecy.
Young people should be taught to be
reverent in the Sunday school and in
all religious meetings.
The bodies and souls are temples (I
Cor. 3:16; 6:19).
Church buildings are the temples of
God (Read A. J. Gordon’s book on
“How Christ Came to the Church”).
The Sunday school Is a temple of
God.
Do we see to it that our pupils act
in ways and manner worthy of God’s
true worship in the house of God? Our
presentation of the lesson, our singing
and our prayers—do-they honor the
house of God? ✓
Good Health Malles
a Happy Home
Good health makes housework easy.
Bad health takes all happiness out of
it. Hosts of women drag along in daily
misery, back aching, worried, “blue,”
tired, because they don’t know what
them.
These same troubles come with weak
kidneys, and, if the kidney action is
distressingly disordered, there should be
no doubt that the kidneys need help.
