Much of the neglige attire of the present day is anything but what the name of the original indicated. For often women are as much “dressed up,” as well groomed and as perfectly “solgne” as our French friends would say, as when dressed for golf or the opera. Moreover, with many women, neg- lige apparel demands no very great privacy. To be sure, a woman would not appear in the dining room or re- ception room of a hotel in such neg- lige, she would rnot appear in her garden so clad, unless it wus one of those delightful walled Spanish gar- dens that one sees built about some of the new California bungalows. She would not appear in neglige in her own home at a formal dinner, but she would appear in this new sort of elaborate neglige when she entertain- ed fairly intdmate friends at & small informal dinner or luncheon. Of course. usage differs with dif- ferent families and in different house- holds, but one very distinguished daughter of a distingulshed statest man used to entertain distinguished triends of her husband's, choosing for her own costume a perfectly circum- spect but rather startling sult of Chinese pajamas. Nowadays the careful woman is as particular that the various acces- mauve satin. There are interesting harmonize and be appropriate as she is concerning those little things when dressed in formal dress. Slippers, stocking, garters, jewelry are all chosen especlally to §o with the neg- lige. The slippers indicated in the sketch are of pink velvet piped with mauve satin. There are interesting neglige slippers of gold, or some bright color, made with high heels and toes that turn up In Turkish manner. Sometimes a fringe of gold is placed all around the top of such slippers. Doubtless one thing that makes the neglige appeal to many women, is that this type of garment does not really have to be in the accepted fashion at all. Many women fn fact design their own negliges while con- forming most rigidly to the prevalling mode in choosing the rest of their wardrobe. Color, too, is indulged in more lavishly in the making of this little gown that is to be worn only against the sympathic background of one’s own rooms.

JDFAR MISS DIX: My wife opens all of my letters and reads them if they come to our home address. This offends me very much, but she claims that she has a right to do so, and that I have no right to be peeved about it. What do you think? HENPECKED HUSBAND. Answer: T think it is an unpardonable sin against any person’s privacy for another individual to open his or her mall, and husbands and wives have no more right to take this liberty with each other than a stranger would To receive a letter that somebody else has opened and read takes every particle of pleasure out of it and makes it fall flat and lifeless. Somghow the very spirit and essence of it are caught under that sealed flap, as the genie was imprisoned in the box, and for it to be broken open lets the very soul of the news, the good wiil, the message of it, vanish into thin air, and you cannot recapture it. And it doesn't take much of this too famillar domestic life to rub the bloom off it, because at the bottom we are all individualists. We all crave, even above love, a little personal freedom, and why it is that husbands and wives don't realize this and allow each other to have some privacy upon which they do not intrude nobody knows. As for a wife opening a husband's letters, it is safe betting that it won't be long until she opens & summons to the divorce court. DOROTHY DIX. IR | IZAR MISS DIX: Iam a woman of 40, with three children and a husband, who is kindness itself, but he drinks. I have tried every means to break him of the habit and he has tried himself, but it seems impo#sible. We have had financial reverses, and now have very little left. Now, the question I want to ask is this 1 had a position in the place we came from, but there was nothing there for my husband to do, 5o 1 thought I should come away with him and help him, as he wanted to make a fresh start in a new p'ace. However, he seems to be getting worse, and as I have a chance to go back to my old position 1 am wondering what it would be best for me to do. The constant worry is ruining my health, and if I should die thers Is no one to look after the children. What shall T do? M. McL. Answer: There is no place anywhere for a drunkard, my poor sister, and you are foolish to move around ffom town to town with your weak husband, thinking that he will turn over a new leaf and get a fresh start in another environment. 1If he wants to reform, he can do it anywhere, and the best place is where he is known and where people will be glad to give him a helping hand if he shows that he has bucked up and is going to be a man, instead of & sot. My advice to you is to go back to your-old job, or to try to get a better one, and just face the'fact that-you will have to support your children yourself and be head of the family. When a woman has a husband such as yours is, good and kind and lovable, but hopelessly weak, she makes a great mistake In trying to deceive herself with the hope that she can make Ifim other than what he is. She had much better accept the truth that he is going to be just as he is, and that nothing short of a miracle, which isn't likely to happen, ever changes him. Then two courses are open (o hef. One is to leave him; to cast him out of her life and forget him; to rid herself of the burden of him. The other is o quit worrying over him, and just to think of him as a poor unfortunate, afficted with a dreadful disease he cannot cure, and to make the most of his good quallties, and think as little as she can of the bad ones. But, in any event, she must recog ® that she must be the bread winner, and that ihe sooner she starte at it, the better it is for her Every year she puts It off makes it that much harder to get a start. 86 my advice to you is to go to work at once and fit yourself for some occupation by Remember that it is only experts that can command good salaries. DOROTHY DIX. EAR DOROTHY DIX: My husband and T were happily married for five years, and then my mother-in-law came to live with uys when her husband died. She said that she would stay with us for a few weeks, until she got rested, and then she would look for a position as houseKeeper. She has been with us now for two ts, and is still resting, although she is only a middle-aged woman and very strong and healthy. My husband makes a moderate salary. He is not very strong, and I do not think it is fair for her to expect her son to support her while she is able to support herself. Do you? BETTY. Answer: I certainly do not, Betty. T think it most outrageous the way 50 many parents graft their living off their children when they are far more eble to work than the children are. Most people Stop work 20 years too soon, anyway. There are hundreds of thousands of fathers being supported by their children, who would be far better off and happier if they had kept with their jobs and were independent, instead of being parasites. And there are thousands upon thousands of able-bodied mothers, brimming over with energy and strength, who are the pests in the houses of their in-laws, because they haven't anything to do but poke their fingers in other people’'s pies, who ought to be drawing good salaries making pies for strangers. But I don’t kKnow any way to get rid of the parents who think their children owe them @& living when they are perfectly capable of working for one. DOROTHY DIX. ' B ] ST.

Also it is @ deadly insult, because it shows suspicion and distrust. The married people who pry into each other's letters are always thinking to surprise some guilty secret. More than that, for husbands and wives to open each others letters and read them is a dastardly thing to do, because the writer of a letter supposes | it to be confidential. Often a friend will write to a woman some secret that she would not care for her friend's husband, who is a stranger to her, to know. Often a mother or a si~ter or a brother writes of some family trouble, some scandal, that they would not tell the man's wife and which she has no business to know. | The one thing that militates more than anything else agalnst domestic life is its lack of privacy, its lack of observance of all the decent reserves of life. Only too many persons find out that when they marry they lay all of their individuality on the matrimonial altar, and that they have no rights which their husbands or wives feel bound to respect. Many have no room of their own to which they can retire secure from interruption. They have no spot sacred to themselves in which they can keep their own clothes. They haven't even a hairbrush dedicated to their own personal use. They can't get a letter that doesn't have to become common property. Rev. J. L. S. Holloman Resumes Pulpit After Absence From City.

Sunday School Lesson BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. THE FORTY DAYS AND THE ASCENSION. < Luke, xxiv.13- 53. Golden text—Ye are witnesses of these things—Luke, XxiV. 48, 4 During the 40 days following His resurrection Jesus presented Himselt to His disciples at several piaves and under different circumstances. These numerous manifestations of the Mas- ter to His followers served to prove conclusively to them the reality of His resurrection. These appearances flled the disciples with an ablding consciousness of His presence with them, even when unseen. The gospel records of His post-resurrection ap- pearances would suggest that there was some marvelous transformation in the appearance of His body. “Death had no more dominion over Him." His body had not been reanimated, for Jesus did not assume & corruptible organism; He transfigured it with spiritual force, so that the glorifica- tion, which was revealed at the as- cension, hid for a time His presence trom them. He demonstrated His ab- solute mastery over death by appear- ing and dlsappearing whenever He willed to manifest Himself. The Emm Walk, Luke, in one of the finest passages of His beautiful gospel, narrates how Jesus met two of His dlsciples and walked with themn to Emmaus on the afternoon of the first Easter day. In | that brief description of the journey the biographer of our Lord shows that | the followers of Christ dil not know of His resurrection. The wondering, | {saddened dizciples reveale.d their sense of utter failure. Thelr references to their former hopes and present condi- tion shows that they were sharing a common human experience. They still loved their former Master, whom they believed was dead. They had left the faith of their fatners to fol- low Him. They had sacrificed kin- ship, friendship and business to help Jesus established the Kingdom. They had witnessed the eclipse of thelr faith during the week just passed, when their beloved Master had been taken and crucified by His enemies. Thelr hopes were blasted and they were surprised that the stranger, who appeared to be a sympathizer with them, did not share their views, During the journey Jesus, whom His disciples could not recognize, due to the change in His appearance, ex- |plained to the two as they walked towar Emmaus how that the law, the prophets and the Psalms had pro- claimed the eternal purpose of God called for the Messiah living Jjust such a life as they told Him their| Master had lived among them, even to His death that was required of Him. They had enjoyed His expo- sition of the Scriptures and in r sponse to their request He had ac- cepted their invitations to become their guest. In restoring their faith| by pointing out the harmonlous re lation of the life of Jesus with the | Scripture the Master had prepared | m for the climax of their experi-| that came when He revealed unto them that He was alive, having risen from the dead, in the breaking of the bread. There was something about the way in which their guest blessed their meal that opened their eyes to the fact that the were entertaining their Lord and Master. It did not take them long to retrace | their steps to Jerusalem, where they went and informed the incredulous ciples about their experience. The eleven, who had refused to accept the | | words of two of their number and the women, declined to believe in Christ's | resurrection | The Upper Room. The attitude of the apostolic band |toward the resurrection was such | that they had to be convinced of the {Teality of His triumph over the grave it they were to carry-on as the Lord | wished them to promote the work of His Kingdom. While they were talk- | ing over the situation behind closed doors, which had been shut to keep out any sples of their enemies, who had created a feeling of fear among them, suddenly they were startled by the salutation of peace. Perhaps it was the greetings of the Christ that made known to them the fact of His presence. Our Lord connected up His appearance to the apostles in the up- per room by greeting them with the }Aalumllun that had closed His fare- | well message to them. Since He had | promised to give them His peace in| | | | | that very room our Saviour had mads | peace for them and us “by the blood of the cross.” Christ sought to remove their fears and doubts by citing the evidence pre- sented in Hie bodily appearance, es-| pecially His hands and His feet. The| infallibie proofs that testified of His being alive demonstrated that, He was | the same Jesus whom they had loved and had known. Our risen Lord did not show Himself to those beyond the circle of His followers, because the purpose of His manifestation of Him- self was to convince the apostles and His followers of the reality of His resurrection, so that, inspired by the truths of His victory over the grave and the evidence of His presence and | power, they would reveal the love of their living Lord to all men. The appearances were conclusive. Some of the many infallible proofs were Seen in His pierced hands and feet, His audible voite, and to prove beyond any question that He was alive Jesus asked the surprised apostles for food. They gave Him some broiled fish and honeycomb, and He joined them in their meal eating with them and befors them the food. During the 40 days the process of certification went on until all of the aposties, efen Thomas— who was absent from the service when Christ appeared in the upper room and doubted what he heard—| was convinced about the reality of His resurrection, so that when their Master assembled them upon Mount Olivet to deliver His parting message to them they all believed that He was risen from the dead. Christ's Parting Message. Forty days after Jesus had con- quered the forces ofideath He as- sembled the members of His apostolic college to deliver to them His last message. The most influential school ever organized was about to be closed forever. The great Teacher, whose messages had been, with His life, labor and love, the very center of their edueational experiences, was about to leave them. in a manner that would by the supefnatural culmina- tion of His ministry prove that death could not dissolve the unity of Iis person, nor end His spiritual work in > community of God and mankind. detail of the apostles’ grad- uating exercises, to which Luke gives us only a brief reference in our les- son, was carefully planned and pre- arranged, according to the full ac- count given in the opening chapter of the Acts of the Aposties. In His closing message Christ pointed out to His apostles the firm fouridation of their faith. He re- called for them His teachings and showed how His death and resurrec- tion were in harmony with what He had taught them and the messages concerning Him found in the Old Testament. He breathed on them, so that under the blessings of the Holy Spirit they could come to have a com- plete_and comprehensive knowledge of the Seriptures. He then appealed to them to become witnesses of their experience-and education to all. He summoned them, as He does us, to a| world-wide service, He ordered them to wait in Jerusalem for the prom- ised power of the Holy Spirit, Whom He promised to send to complete thelr equipment for the service eof [ington will meet Tuesday evening at 8 winning the world for their risenl. Lord. He called them to commence preaching the gospel of redemption and resurrection in Jerusalem, where His enemles lived. They were to carry the message that they had re- celved from Him to the ends of the earth, until the last man was reached for their risen Lord. Having made clear to them that since His resurrection there was no limit of the flesh to interiere with Him in His efforts to assist them in their work, He conducted them as far as Bethany, where He blessed them and was parted from them by the cloud receiving Him out of their sight. His ascension completed the resurrection. It was the testimony of the Father's approval upon Christ's ministry. It was a prophecy of the destiny of all who love their Lord. It not only lifted their hearts to the Father's home, where the risen | Master had gone to prepare a place for them, but it called for them to return to Jerusalem and wait for the promise of power from on high. God calls us to walt for the blessing of the Holy Spirit, so that we may be earnest and successful witnesses of our experiences, as the apostles were of theirs when, filled with power, they commenced to do God's will. He calls us to be witnesses today, 50 that the work of His early follow- ers may be completed and through the preaching of the gospel the world be won for Christ and be united through Him into a fraternity of na- tions, seeking to glorify our Father and reveal the teachings of the risen | Christ in the affairs of the day in| which we live. Let us pray and be| filled with power to do His will and work. —— EXHIBIT OF VESTMENTS. | Rev. George W. Atkinson Has Dis—! play at Exposition. Rev. Dr. George W.
