IMPORTANT STYLES FEATURED IN SLEEVES AND IN COLLARS ON('K again embroidery and fur lend tlielr rich and luxurious flavor to the new suits for fall and winter, and onee again designers indicate their choice of these decora tive features. lCmbroldorles have been developed In ways new to us and fur collars have taken on added Impor tance because of their novel and very becoming shapes. They invite one to snuggle down Into tlielr soft and cozy depths and between them and the equally soft and protecting huts that droop about the fact*, there Is little chance for the cold to make headway against the merry eyes that can laugh at It. Kver since a famous I’nrls designer Introduced sleeves that are so large anil ho much emphasized by decora tion that the rest of the garment be came a mere background for them, sleeves have become more and more Jpiportnnt In all outer garments. All sorts of embroideries find place on them lieads, silk, and especially the new braid embroideries. These rich embellishments Invite the company of fur and a very handsome example of this new mode appears In the suit FOR THE STORK LUNCHEON AND THE GUEST CHAMBERS l> 4 AW AST 10 basket that can he re- ( freshed with a new lining anil decorated with a new cluster of tlowers every once in a while will commend Itself to every home-maker. Also it accommodates Itself to color: schemes when the time comes for re decorating walls and supplying new! furnishings, and It makes a pretty 1 and Inexpensive gift. Such a basket Is pictured here. The basket part Is one of those simple wicker affairs that are strong and light. They may he used in their own light tan color or painted, or enameled to harmonize with the room they are to serve In. The basket pictured, meant for a sleeping room. Is enameled in white. Its lining Is a medium light blue crepe paper which looks like silk, shirred In at the top and bottom, but Is far. less expensive and much easier to Insert. The paper is pasted along the top and bottom of the basket "fulled” In so that It ap pears to be shirred. The bottom Is •Iso covered. For a finish, strips of the paper about an inch wide are twisted at Intervals of less than an Inch, making what looks like narrow ribbon shirred Into scallops. This is also pasted down. The roses are made of double thick nesses of the crepe paper, pasted to gether und cut Into petals. Two tones shown at the left of the two pictured. The coat has trim lines and reveals a conservative Interpretation of the dec orative sleeve, for some of these sleeves are huge with arm's-eyes ex tended nearly to the waistline. In this model the coat is almost knee length, cut with a slight flare In the skirt and much improved by large patch pockets. It Is In that dark gray shade known ns “sphinx" with cuffs and collar ot dark beaver fur. Handsome bone but tons are something more than a fas tening for It —n long, close-set row of them down the front makes the best possible finish for the embroidery. The suit at the right is a braid and fur-trimmed model In which the coat is longer at the back than in front and j hangs straight. It also requires of ; buttons a decorative quality and a i row of live of them appears where the front and back join in the coat. A narrow belt maintains the style in troduced In the spring and fastens at each side, crossing at the front. These two suits are handsomest when de veloped in suede-surfaced cloths like velours or similar stuffs. Fox, marten or other fur Is used on them. are used for each rose and roses in any color or colors are made. The foliage is bought ready-made or one may utilize millinery foliage. Occasionally, the stork having an nounced his coming, is welcomed by a stork luncheon or “baby shower,” whereto friends con<“ hearing gifts. For the luncheon nh ?. decorations are • pictured. First is the stork for the center. A cardboard silhouette of his body Is cut out padded with cotton and covered « t crepe paper crumpled to simulate feathers. His legs, feet and bill are made of wire covered with paper and he stands in a square of cardboard which supports also the paper cat-tail and its leaves. Place cards are little storks, made of peanuts and paper, and paper water lilies, each holding a tiny kewpie among its paper stamens, provide fa vors for the guests.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. rn gBH n IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SimdaySchool T Lesson T (By REV. P. B. i*'ITZWATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 11 PAUL IN ATHENS. LESSON TEXT—Acts 17:16-34. GOLDEN TEXT—In him we live, and move, and have our being.—Acts 17:28. REFERENCE MATERIAL— Luke 4:16- 30. PRIMARY TOPIC—PauI Telling the People about God. JUNIOR TOPIC—PauI 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 Athens. I. The Idolatry of the Athenians (v. 1C). Athens was the intellectual metrop olis of the world at that time, the home of the world’s great eloquence and philosophy. Paul’s spirit was stirred within him when lie saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 11. The Parties Concerned (vv. 17- 21). True to ids usual custom Paul went Into the Jewish synagogue and entered into earnest argument with the Jews. From them 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 de nied tlie doctrine of Creation. They •gave themselves up to sensual in dulgences since they had no idea of future judgment. The latter were pantheists. When they heard the (preaching of Paul they desired to know wliat new doctrine lie 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 “seed picker.” 111. Paul’s Address on Mars’ Hill (vv. 23-31). 1. The introduction (vv. 22, 23). He did not accuse them of “superstition” as the A. V. would make it, but as in the Am. R. V. lie introduces his dis course in a courteous and conciliatory manner, stating that lie perceived that they were very religious. Tills he ex plained by stating that as i»e was view ing their city he beheld an altar with nn 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 Him. lie was too wise to begin at once to denounce heathenism and idolatry. 2. Tlie body of his discourse (vv. 24-31). (1) A declaration concerning God (vv. 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 assumes the existence of a divine being, (b) His spirituality and immensity (vv. 24, 25). He is not served with “men's hands as though he needed anything,” neither is He confined by any sort of religious temple. Being essentially spiritual He demands heart-service, and being transcendent above all He is not con fined to earthly temples, (c) His ac tive providence (v. 25). He gives ex istence, bestows needed gifts, and as sovereign directs all things. (2) Declaration concerning man (vv. 20-31). (a) His common origin (v. 26). Tills was a blow at the foolish Athen ian pride 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 Tlis like ness it is utter folly to make images as tlie senseless idols were, (b) Na tions have their place by the sov ereign purpose of God (v. 26). Tlie position and mission of each nation is of God’s appointment, (c) Men should seek God (v. 26). His goodnoss and grace in supplying all our needs, and ordering even tlie affairs of the na tions should move man to see and seek God, for He Is Indeed very near to every one; so near that our existence and movements are all under His con trol (v. 27). (d) Pressing obligation to repent (vv. 30, 31). This was his supreme message. Though God had formerly passed over idolatry He now calls to all men to repent. The solemn reason for such action is the coming day of judgment, the credential of which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Tlie judgment of God of nn unbelieving world is as sure as tiiis fact. Men will be judged on tlie basis of their attitude toward Jesus Christ. IV. Result of Paul’s Preaching (vv. 32-34). 1. Some mocked (v. 32). 2. Some procrastinated (v. 32). 3. Some believed (v. 34). All to God. You should frequently arouse with in yourself the desire to give to God alt the faculties of your soul —that is, of your mind, to know Him and think of Him, and of your will, to love Him; and further seek to consecrate all your outward senses to Him in all their actions. —FeneJon. Christian Unity. The spirit of Christian unity must be cultivated between the different churches before formal union can be effected.—Rev. Dr. Douglas. THE TRIALS OF T fl HOUSEWIFE Ho* They Have Boon Endured and How Overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Experience of a Providence Woman ■ Providence, R.

' "~ a no { s i ee p night, and had no appe tite. At times I could hardly do my housework. I got medicine from the doctor but it did not help me. I saw Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound advertised in a newspaper and took it with good results, and am now able to do my housework. I recommend your medicine to my friends and you may< publish my testimonial.”—Mrs. Chester A. Ball, R. 15, Fayette, Ohio. An Illinois woman relates her experience: Bloomington, 111. “ I was never very strong and female trouble kept me so weak I had no interest in my housework. I had such a backache I could not cook a meal or sweep a room without raging with pain. Rubbing my back with alcohol sometimes eased the pain for a few hours, but did not stop it. I heard of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and six bottles of it have made me as strong and healthy as any woman ; and I give my thanks to it for my health.”—Mrs. J.A. McQuitty, 610 W.Walnut St.,Bloomington, 111. The conditions described by Mrs. Cassen, Mrs. Ball, and Mrs. McQuitty will appeal to many women who struggle on with their daily tasks in just such con ditions—in fact, it is said that the tragedy in the livesof some women is almost beyond belief. Day in and day out they slave in their homes for their families —and beside the daily routine of housework, often make clothes for them selves and for their children, or work in their gardens, all the while suffering from those awful bearing-down pains, backache, headaches, nervousness, the blues, and troubles which sap the very foundation of life until there comes a time when nature gives out and an operation seems inevitable. If such women would only profit by the experience of these three women, and remem ber that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is the natural restorative for such conditions it may save them years of suffering and unhappiness. There is hardly a neighborhood in any town or hamlet in the United States wherein some.woman does not reside who has been restored to health by this famous medicine. Therefore ask your neighbor, and you will find in a great many cases that at some time or other she, too, has been benefited by taking it, and will recommend it to you. For more than forty years this old-fashioned root and herb medicine hasbeen restoring suffering women to health and strength. ■ -Lydia E.

When car owners return from their summer vacation many of them re turn limping. A new summer epi demic is at large in the ranks of vaca tionists. The new ailment has been given the popular name of “motor foot.” In the language of surgical chiropody itpis In dexed and classified under the name of "metatarsal displacement.” Continuous motoring is the cause of the ailment. It is a right foot trouble caused by the continuous strain occasioned by long motor trips when the driver keeps his foot in the strained position required by the use of car accelerator. This position causes a displacement of the metatnrsai bones which in turn causes them, in motor language, to “short” the nerves of that part of the foot. This In turn is the answer for the pain that accompanies the dis tinction of possessing “motor foot.” “Motor foot” not only makes walk ing painful, but practically eliminates golf, tennis or any of the other popu lar forms of active recreation. The Folly of Cheating Nature Many people get the idea that they can keep their nerves on edge and their digestion upset year after year, and “get away with it.” They sleep only half as much as they should and never get properly and thoroughly rested. If you tire out easily, if you are getting pale and anemic, if your food doesn’t digest as it should, would it not be well to stop and consider whether coffee or tea is having its effect on you? The caffeine and thein found in coffee and tea are drugs, as any doctor can tell you. Is it any wonder thatthe steady use of these drugs sometimes causes serious damage?

All the men at the club have been watching Johnnie Edwards, the invet erate smoker, for' the last week, and there's been much surmising and con jecturing, but Johnnie wouldn’t himself away. It seems that Johnnie has held the prize for the champion smoker of tlie club for ten years. In the last week Johnnie lias been seen strolling around the room with a dejected, lost appearance and be tween his lips always the inevitable cigarette. But It was never lighted. Nobody liked to ask him questions and he didn’t volunteer any explanation, so It wasn’t explained until Jimmie Van- Veek overheard him say on the tele phone : “No, you have got to stick to your word now. I swore off if you would, and goodness knows I want one bad enough, but Doc says you’ve gotta leave ’em alone for a while. Now be a good little mother and remember your promise.”—New York Sun.
