Sleeves Feature the Velvet Jacket
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
INTRIGUING 1 little velvet wraps con
tlnne to flourish In the style pic¬
ture, both for daytime and evening
wear.
At this time of the year when the
cool of autumn is being foretold (lur¬
ing midseason days, the little jacket
made either of black or of bright col¬
ored transparent velvet comes ns a life
saver to many a pretty summer frock
such as women love to wear and are
loath to cast aside until the last call
for summer ceases to resound through
the realm of fashion.
And so, because of the little velvet
Jacket, which tops it so smartly and
flatteringly, many a beloved summer
frock at this very minute is being per¬
mitted to live on borrowed time.”
While the velvet Jackets shown In
the picture are functioning as evening
wraps, they may be Just as suitably
and effectively worn during the day¬
time hours. The back view of the
very youthful model to the left calls
attention to an exceedingly clever
shallow yoke effect. As to the sleeves,
they are the ‘‘last word" In artistry
and novelty. The velvet which fash¬
ions this good-looking wrap Is brigiit
green and it is worn with n pale yel¬
low Arm weave chiffon evening gown.
The other Jacket, with Its wide flow¬
ing sleeves and its scarf-tie neckline.
WOOLENS FAVORED
FOR AUTUMN WEAR
Woolens are in a most Important
place in the fasition picture for the
coming season. And Justly so, for
wool no longer is a term synonymous
with a heavy, bulky fabric designed
for utility alone. Woolens of are
In many weights and many surfaces,
hut the best of them, heavy or light,
smooth or rough of finish, drape with
the perfection which the new mode
demands. They are as serviceable as
they ever were, and they are beautiful
as well, a fact borne in upon us recent¬
ly when we visited one of the fore¬
most woolen manufacturers of the
country, says the New York Herald
Tribune.
Coat fabrics for women nre being
woven so closely and thickly that they
need no interlinings, which are clumsy
things at best, and at the other end of
tlte wool panorama are gossamer wool¬
ens which make the woolen evening
govn seem an eminently practical and
desirable addition to the wardrobe,
rather than an extravaganza of the
designer’s imagination.
Women Learn to Make
Permanent Waves Behave
Permanent waves are still going
strong Every woman concedes that
the hard-boiled curl is a marvelous and
wonderful idea. Methods have im¬
proved. Waves are wider. The proc¬
ess is completed in less than half the
time that was necessary a few years
buck. Women have learned how to
make permanents behave, to moisten
them, pet them, pat them into allur¬
ing patterns. Brushing doesn’t harm
them : only makes them crazy for the
moment Combing out straight, appli
cations of briHiantine or hot water to
tether with clever manipulations put
hem in form again.
Cuban Heels Popular
for Sports or Street
The Cuban Heel is a smart choice
for sports or street wear. It isn’t like
the square heel that was once char
icterized as Cuban but is gracefully
shape!) though sturdier than the spike
teel. Usually of leather, it ornaments
the shoe of calf or alligator. The
spectator sports slice is frequently
seen with this conservative but very
quart heel.
CLEVELAND COURIER.
is highly colorful; the transparent vel¬
vet of which it is made being bright
red with red. white and black printed
chiffon for its lining. It contrasts
strikingly the pajama costume of black
satin over which it is posed.
If there is one thing which distin¬
guishes the popular velvet short-jacket
wrap more than its sleeves, it is its
color, The Intent of the mode seems
to he to add a velvet jacket to the cos¬
tume which shall intensify the color
sc eme. Throughout the early Paris
collections arresting color contrasts
are stressed. Most unusual colors are
combined, such as deep jade for the
velvet Jacket over purplish dark blue
f r the dress, or perhaps a radiant
brown velvet wrap with a pale blue
evening frock. The new color card
places emphasis on rich shades of
green, red and blue for fall, these
deep autumn-like hues being especially
effective in velvet.
Some of the very newest evening
gowns show a stately silhouette made
possible through the use of velvet
which is stlffer and firmer than has
been In favor for many a year. These
late models mass the skirt fullness at
the back and their sleeves are com¬
posed of two puffs quite like artists
of the past delighted in portraying in
pictures of “a lady.”

REVIEW: THE SPREAD OF CHRIS¬
TIANITY IN ASIA
GOLDEN TEXT—And when they were
come, and had gathered the church to¬
gether, they rehearsed all that God
had done with them, and how he had
opened the door of faith unto the Gen¬
tiles.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Giving the Gospel
to Asia.
JUNIOR TOPIC—The Spread of the
Gospel in Asia.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP¬
IC—Early Christian Triumphs.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP¬
IC-—Christianity Becomes a World Re¬
ligion.
The Interests of the quarter are so
varied, the personalities brought to
view so interesting, that the grade of
the class and the genius of the teaeh
er will readily determine the method
of review. Two methods are suggest
ed for senior and adult classes. As
signment of work a week in advance
is required in both cases:
3. A study of the persons actively
concerned in the lessons with the ob
ject of discerning the strong and weak
points in the character of each.
2. A summary of the facts and
teachings of the lessons for the quar
ter. The following suggestions are
offered for the .second method:
Lesson for July 5.
The missionary program is for the
gospel to be preached to the whole
world, beginning at Jerusalem. The
supreme obligation of the Church is
to evangehze the world. This can
only be done In the energy of the
Holy Spirit.
Lesson for July 12.
After the Spirit came upon the dis
c |p[ es L’entecost, their supreme im¬
pulse was to preach the gospel. In
spite of opposition, even imprisonment
and threatened death, the disciples
preached Christ in the energy of the
Holy Spirit.
Lesson for July 19.
The primitive Church spent much
time in prayer. The Spirit of God
was upon them. Therefore, they bold¬
ly testified for Christ and systemati¬
cally cared for the poor and needy.
Lesson for July 26.
Christianity spread by persecution.
Christ declared himself to be the way,
the trnth, and the life. Missionary
endeavor is but the life of God ex¬
pressing itself through redeemed men
f tile Hqly Spirit. Christianity is
therefore Indestructible.
Lesson for August 2.
In taking the gospel to the Samari¬
tans we see the broadening scope of
the Church. The leader in this work
of evangelizing is 1’hilip, one of the
seven deacons. He seems to have
been the only one ever called “evan¬
gelist” If the world ts ever to be
evangelized, it must be done through
the activities of the laity.
Lesson for August 9.
Sau! was arrested in his mad effort
to stamp out Christianity by the direct
Interference of the Lord. His conversion
illustrates the transformation of the
Jewish nation. One of ttiese days the
multitudes of that nation shall see
Jesus Christ, their Messiah. Penitent¬
ly and enthusiastically they shall pro¬
ceed to complete the task for which
they were ordained.
Lesson for August 16.
Gracious Justification by faith Is the
dynamic for right living. The one
thus experiencing the life of God
through faith will manifest the fruit
of the Spirit, living a temperate life.
Lesson for August 23.
In the conversion of Cornelius we
see the missionary program widening
to embrace the Gentiles. In this con¬
nection the Holy Spirit was poured
out anew.
Lesson for August 30.
The sending out of Barnabas and
Saul marks the beginning of foreign
missions as the deliberately planned
enterprise of the Church. The Holy
Spirit calls and sends out mission¬
aries.
Lesson for September 6.
When foreign missionary work be¬
gan in earnest. Saul took the place of
leadership, since he was called to be
the apostle to the Gentiles.
Lesson for September 13.
The treatment accorded Raul in his
missionary work shows the attitude of
the world toward Jesus Christ. Such
behavior reveals the awful need of the
saving power of the gospel.
Lesson for September 20.
The speech of James at the Jerusa¬
lem council shows the outline of God’s
plan. It is through the preaching of
the gospel to take out from the Gen¬
tiles a people for his name, which is
now going on. Afterward Israel, as a
nation, . shall r ,, he , converted, . , following
which shall be the conversion of the
whole world through the agency of
converted Israel.
No Man I» a Blank
“Every man is a missionary, now
and forever, for good or for evil,
whether he intends it or not. He may
be a blot radiating his dark influence
outward to the very circumference of
society; or he may be a blessing,
spreading benediction over the length
and breadth of the world; but a blank
he cannot be.”—Doctor Chalmers.

GOOD FISH STORY
AND SNAKE TALE
South Africa Rises Grandly to
the Occasion.
Two queer tales comes from thej
south coast of Africa. One is a fish
tale with a moral, and the other is
a snake tale with a sting in it. Both
are vouched for.
This is the fish tale: Near Anerley
there is a spot called “Mug’s Pool,”.
Fishermen of experience know it and
avoid it. To it there attaches a repu¬
tation of lost tackle and no fish.
Hooks, Ijnes and Sinkers by the
bushel have been ruthlessly torn
asunder from anglers’ rods at this
notorious spot. Today the “knowing
bird" gives “Mug’s Pool” a wide
berth.
Occasionally, however, an angler
without knowledge of the pool’s bad
reputation comes along and casts
from the rocks. It is always an
amusement to the “bitten” to watch
the result, almost invariably the
same.
A few days ago a keen fisherman
was spending a holiday at Anerley,
and he went out to “Mug’s I’ocil”
very hopeful and certainly pleased
with the sp.ot, for it is a most pic¬
turesque one. He knew nothing of
the pool’s uneviable history, and ac¬
cordingly east in. To the amazement
of everybody he lost nothing, but re¬
turned with a good catch, including
a huge mnsselcracker, which when
cleaned was found to contain the
heads of three octopuses, one snia.l
octopus intact, a limpet with she'd
complete, and the backbone of a fish
six Inches long.
And this is the snake tale from
Tsiplngo beach: A snake which bit
after its death nearly killed two
valuable dogs recently. Early in the
morning a setter was attracted to a
hole in liis garden by the harking
of two dogs, a greyhound and a fox
terrier. The hole was “fired," and
the smoke drove out a medium-sized
puff adder. The greyhound rushed
stt It and bit it cleanly in two just
below the head, but as he did so tin
snake sank its flings into the dog’s
neck.
The detruncated head fell to the
ground and the fox terrior ran up.
The head seemed to spring at the
d<SJ and actually attach itself to the
terrier's shoulder. It had to be
knocked off. Both dogs showed signs
of snake poisoning, hut recovered
under treatment.
The explanation of the snake’s “at¬
tack” on the second dog, is that the
head was wrijliing in the after-death
convulsions.
Arizona Growing Date*
Dozens of date palm trees were
planted in I’hoenlx, Ariz., early this
summer In response to a chamber of
commerce “plant a tree” campaign.
The date palms produce fruit in ad¬
dition to being ornamental. South¬
ern Arizona is one of the few places
in the United States where the date
palm will thrive.
HANFORD’S
Balsam of Myrrh
In Confidence
Billy, a Brightwood youngster, was
looking at the calendar thinking
about his uncle's birthday.
He said: “Uncle Frank when we
turn this page, your birthday will
come next.”
To tease the little bov bis uncle
whispered: “Won't you tell me what
you're going to get me?”
Billy replied confidently: “I will
if you promise to forget what it is by
that time.”—Indianapolis News.
A BIG VALUE
Today is the day of values. Peo¬
ple find it an easy matter to get
high quality at low prices if they
merely use intelligence in making
selections. Take aspirin for in¬
stance. Thousands realize that it
is 1 neither sensible nor necessary to
pay more than 10c for twelve tab¬
lets of genuine pure aspirin. Be¬
cause of this more than nine million
boxes of St.Joseph’s Genuine Pure
Aspirin have been soM in one sin¬
gle year. “St Joseph’s” is genuine,
pure aspirin that meets every packed gov¬ in
ernment standard. It is
moisture-proof cellophane full strength to pre¬
serve the purity and
of each tablet. Be safe, be econom¬
ical and always ask your druggist aspirin
for “the largest selling pure
in the world for 10c—StJosephs”.

Poisons absorbed into the system
from souring waste in the bowels,
cause that dull, headachy, sluggish,

foul the breath; sap energy, strength
