Print With Plain Is Style Formula
Dy CHEKIE NICHOLAS
a
;§
'"THAT new style formula which
* calls for gay print combined with
a monotone weave Is taking the world
of fashion by storm. The idea has so
captivated designers they are work-
ing their Imagination overtime In or-
der to play up dramatically to this
challenge to their genius. The three
fetching costumes in the illustration
tell an eloquent story In regard to
this new and thrilling prlnt-antl-plain
movement.
Let us consider first the perfectly
charming mode) in the center. It re-
quires genuine artistry to produce
anything like this. The manner In
which the daisy motif of the print Is
worked to relieve a straight waistline
and to unify blouse and skirt is noth-
ing less than a stroke of genius. The
lining of the jacket which, by the
way, reflects the very fashionable
coolle-coat Influence Is also of the
daisy print. White gloves, a navy hat
and poekethook and navy shoes carry
a last word style message.
Did you think It a redingote ensem-
bie—the costume to the left in the
picture? It does look the part, we
will admit, but in reality It is a
vogulsh one-piece dress of navy sheer
with a swish of startling print dash-
ing Its way down the entire front of
the frock. The collar may be worn
open to show revers. Of course you
have made mental note of the jaunty
little white Breton sailor which this
fashionable young woman is wearing.
The wee feather brings just the right
color note to this nobby headpiece.
Surprise number one Is that the cos-
tume to the left is not a redingote
ensemble and now for surprise num-
ber two which Is to the effect that the
costume to the right In the group is
just that—a redingote model. This
redingote of unusual styling buttons
at one shoulder and down the side un-
der the arm. While It looks as If It
might be a one-piece dress it is really
an entirely separate Item and can be
worn as a coat with any frock. A
black sheer fabric fashions it and it
tops a print crepe gown in yellow and
black. Her black Milan straw Breton
sailor Is definitely chic.
So high does enthusiasm run for this
alliance of print and a solid color you
will llnd all sorts of neckwear fancies
and accessories to wear with your one-
color dresses . made of gay Mexican
and itoman-strlpe or plaid prints. The
new bib collars with cuffs to match
are animated with cunning pleatings
and bright buttons. Plastrons of print
silk which cover the entire front of
the bodice and are tied about the
waist are quite the rage. Try one of
these with that nnvy or black frock
which calls for a freshening spring
touch. You will he elated to see what
one of these neckwear sets of startling
print can do to a hitherto somber
frock.
Here's another suggestion, why not
a boutonnlere with gloves to match of
multi-colored or checked print to wear
with your spring tailored suit? Per-
haps an audacious plaid or stripe
scarf tied In a huge bow to wear with
your navy or hrown swagger suit Is
more to your liking. By the way, nad
you heard about the increasing popu-
larity of brown prints? This move-
ment Is worth watching. Many of
these smart brown prints are pat-
terned with iovely fresh spring yel-
iows and vivid orange with a dash of
pure white.
STRIPE VELVET
By ( HEKtE NtCHOt AH
Summer veivets are proving a great
attraction to the stylo-conscious wom-
an who is looking for the newest and
the smartest materials, it can ren<llly
be seen from this picture that summer
velvet in two-color stripe makes an ex
teedlngiy smart swagger sports coat.
You can visualise tills in navy and
white or hrown ami beige or other
combinations, for this most desirable
velvet comes In various color aiH-
ances. The hat If trimmed. In a most
effective manner, with a two-color
vtivet ribbon.
NUN INFLUENCE !N
PLAYTIME STYLES
Playtime costumes for modish mod-
erns recalling the habits of cloistered
nuns have stepped upon the fashion
stage as a novel note In spring fash-
ions.
Though the hiack dtnner costumes
were tightened by gayer touches than
a nun ever donned, and gold necklaces
and eurrlngs brightened the ensemble,
the iong-sleeved dinner frocks with
demure high necks, the haio hats worn
by the mannequins, the serenity of
their faces and walk, lent a touch of
the habit worn by the French "re
iigieuse."
Madutne Lanvin showed a long-
sieeved, high-necked dinner gown of
scarlet red crepe with an instep
length black faille coat and a black
haio hat. The mannequin, whose hair
was swept sereneiy back from her
face, wore two great gold ball ear-
rings and a belt of golden nali heads.
Another striking costume combined a
iong-sleeved frock of black lace, a
iong black faiile cont and hat.
Manniah Line* Disappear
in Lateat Spring Suit*
Femininity is the essence of that
new spring suit.
Though a trimly tailored etTect of
simplicity is stiil the rule, the hard
mannish line in vogue for several sea-
sons has been tossed on fashion's scrap
heap. Wools are often a iittie softer,
slihouettes iook less as though they
had been sketched by hard hiacit
crayon on white paper, accessories
such as goiden snaii or stiver seashell
fastenings are decldediy feminine.
Met.!-Thr..d.d Organdy
Organdy gowns, woven with metal
threads or spiashed with shimmering
seguins, are designed with full sweep
ing hems which biliow about the
wearer's feet.

YOUNC I'EOrLE AND ADULT TOP-
This lesson Is part of the well known
Olivet discourses giving u prophetic
view of the course of time from the
crucifixion to the second coming of
Christ. Two great facts are before us
in this prophetic utterance, the de-
struction of Jerusalem and the second
coming of Christ. The one was near,
having taken place within forty years
from Christ's crucifixion; the other Is
still future.
The parable of the ten virgins Is one
of the two parables designed for the
instruction of the saints In view of
the coming of Christ, it has a con-
tinuous application In the present
time (I Thess, 4:10-18; Titus 2:11-13).
!. The Equipment of the Virgins
(vv. l-H).
1. The foolish virgins (v. 3.) They
took lamps hut had no oil with them.
Lamps signify Christian profession
(Matt. 5:16) and oil the Holy Spirit
(Zech. 4). Having lamps but no oil
shows thnt they were professors of
religion without possessing its reaiity.
The Christian life is sustained by the
Holy Spirit. As soon as one is re-
generated the Holy Spirit takes up
his abode within him. The proof that
one Is a child of God Is that he has
the Holy Spirit dwelling within him
(Rom. 8:0).
2. The wise virgins (v. 4). They
possessed both lamps and oil. They
made a profession and hacked It with
a life of real righteousness. These
are the true believers. Both the wise
and the foolish virgins slumbered and
slept. The common lot falis to both
professing Christians and reai Chris-
tians. They fell under the spell of
sleep (v. K). This shows that as this
age iengthens the real and professing
church will cease looking for the com-
ing of the Lord. It Is unspeakably sad
that so many, even of God's saints—
wise virgins—should give up the ex-
pectancy of the return of the Lord.
H. The Coming of the Bridegroom
(vv. (i-12).
I. The midnight cry (v. 6). tn the
midst of the night when all the vir-
gins were asleep the cry was made,
"Behold the bridegroom eometh. go ye
out to meet him." Who knows but
that the time of this cry Is close at
ha nd ?
2. The activity of the virgins (v. 7).
They all arose and trimmed their
[amps. There will he great activity
when the Lord comcs, those who only
make a profession then realizing that
they lack what Is essentia) to entrance
to the marriage feast.
3. The foolish request the wise to
share their oil (vv. 8, M). The revela-
tion of Christ wit! make manifest the
genuineness of our religion and ex-
pose the folly of mere profession.
When the Lord comes It will be too
late tn mend one's ways.
4. The wise enter to the marriage
(v. 10). It will matter little what
else one has at that time if he has
oil In his lamp.
5. The pitlfui petition of the fool-
ish (v. 11). They begged the Lord to
open the door that they might enter
to the marriage feast.
6. The awful judgment (v. 12). The
Lord declared. "1 know you not."
Those who put off personal contact
with Christ until that day shall be
shut out from Ids presence.
ill. The Solemn Obiigation (v. 13).
"Watch, for ye know not the day
nor the hour wherein the Son of man
comelh."
1. Hnterlng with Christ to the mar-
riage depends not upon having pro-
fessed to enter the Christian race hut
continuing therein. It Is not enough
that we can refer to the lighting of
our iamps. if oil and light he wanting
when Christ comes there will he no
admittance to the heavenly banquet.
2. Borrowed religion will not avail
at that day. Association with the
most eminent of God's saints will not
secure for us acceptance at tiiat day.
The essential thing Is personal union
with the Lord Jesus Christ through
faith In his shed blood.
Bib!. Reading
Bible reading is undispensable to the
nurture and cultivation of the spirltuai
)ife. Bible knowledge furnishes the
mind with food for the noblest medi-
tation.
Not Dead, but Living
If the city of our heart is holy with
the presence of a iivlng Christ then
the dear dead wlli come to us, and we
shall know they are not dend hut liv-
ing, and bless him who has been their
Redeemer.
Ju.t Mora! Nature
Human nature Is said by many to be
good: if so, where have social eviis
torn* from? For human nature Is the
only moral nature in that corrupting
thing called "society."
New Glory for Versailles
Most Magnificent of AH Royal Residences Restored
With Funds Provided by John D. Rockefeller,
Jr.; Now Made Into Great Museum.
Restoration of the palace of Ver-
sailles, from the great chateau to
the charming Marie Antoinette vil-
lage on the grounds, has been criti-
cized hy a member of the French
academy. The work, carried on with
funds donated hy John D. Rocke-
feller, Jr., Is too thorough, says the
critic, and while It has saved the
palace of palaces from falling Into
ruin, everything looks too new. The
French ministry of Hue arts and the
historic monuments commission,
however, npprove the restoration.
While the palace of Versailles is
generally conceded to be the ultimate
in royal residences, and the yard-
stick by which magnificence is meas-
ured. It may also he said to repre-
sent an eighteenth century I'ubllc
Works administration project, ac-
cording to a bulletin from the Na-
tional Geographic society. "One of
the reasons given hy Louis XIV for
the construction of the great cha-
teau and Its vast park was that it
would give employment to some 30,-
000 workmen for several years."
Built for reasons of state, Ver-
saliles soon became the setting of a
court so daxzling that many of the
French nobility closed their great
chateaux tn the country and came
to take up quarters in a palace that
could shelter nearly 10,000 persons.
And near the palace, Louis built the
Grand Trianon, a glorllled marble
bungalow.
Left to ruin after France became
a republic. Versailles was partially
restored by Kapoleon i tlve years
after he had Installed 2,000 of his
veterans in tiie central wing of the
palace. But the greater part of the
work of transforming Versailles into
a museum was done by Louis
Philippe, being completed in 183".
Its adaptation Into a museum of
social and political history has been
natural and tasteful. The great
central wing, which Is nearly half a
mlie In length, now houses a unique
collection of paintings, sculptures,
carvings and objets d'art. The
palace itseif was built principally by
Mansard around the hunting lodge
of Louis XIII. In reversal of the
usual seqtience, the palace was built
and then the little town grew up.
But a year after the removal of
Louis XVI and .Marie Antoinette tn
Paris by the mob, the town was so
desolate that a Russian traveler
could scarcely get a wretched meal.
The satons and apartments of
Louis XIV and his successors form
a stimulating background for the
imaginative person who wishes to
turn back the clock to the days of
the Sun king and reiive the glit-
tering epoch of the I.ouls. The orlg-
inal furniture and pictures were
lost, but the walls, ceilings, paneling
and stucco still reveal the elabo-
rate Louis Quatorze. The rooms
given over to the Hlgjorlcal museum,
fnunded by Louis Philippe and dedi-
cated to "all the glories of France,"
contain a collection of pictures and
sculpture retelling the history of
France through Its famous charac-
ters, battles, and events.
The park atid terraces alone cover
an area of about six square miles.
Although the playground for the
plutocrats of the day, Versailles tuts
been a stage for more serious act-
lug. The "Tennis Court" oath of the
fighting Xatlonai Assembly was taken
here In ITS!), and here in 1*82 the
new United States of America had
been formally recognized by Great
Britain. On September 19, 1870. the
victorious Germans, bands playing
the "Marseillaise," entered Versailles.
In January, 1871. King William, sur-
rounded hy representatives of ail the
reigning families of Germany, mem-
bers of ills family, his generals, and
ids ministers, here established the
new German empire. And in the
same Gaieties des Glaces In 1018 a
defeated German nation signed the
Versailles treaty.
