IN TOUCH WITH FASHION Blouses for Spring Wear —Low Necks and High Necks— Cuffs of Lace—Little Details That Count A DECADE or more ago, there arose la the land a woman who had judgment far beyond her time. Her plea was for the gown that was hung from the shoulders, thus making the shoul der relieve the back. In those days akirts were five and six yards around, «n<i the back was the burden-bearer. Hh« was not successful on the whole, (or the craze for the wasplike waist was at Its height, and woman had not learned that "truth was beauty." But the seed sown then has sprouted and #;rown, and now women will have noth ing but the one-piece gown. Its ever increasing popularity is plainly evi dent. Not only Is it demanded in trot teurs, but In evening gowns, reception gowns, and in fact in everything that «x»mes under the name of gown. Whereas, it took the woman of olden times an hour to dress herself, we now dress in twenty minutes. It ex- I>edites matters, not having the belt, and having no collar and various oth rr accessories to pin, hook, or button oa. Tailored Suit and Blouse. The separate blouse still has its yia<e with the tailored suit, however, for the two together form a combina tion too serviceable to abandon. Some of the blouses that the spring has brought out are of the thinnest, most transparent material—ethereal Is the only adjective for them. The one sub stantial thing about them Is the price. The materials most favored are organ die. chiffon cloth, mouselline, and ba tiste. Most of the blouses open down the front, and the opening Is often made invisible by a hemstitched ruffle that is the same width all the way down, varying from the graduated side ruffle that was used last summer, 'fucks are much In evidence, of vary ing sizes, and often combined with box plaits. Lace Is a prime favorite for trimming, and of all laces Cluay fleems to lead in popularity, though Irish is by no meaca slighted. Cream Valenciennes is pretty for low collars «nd for frills. Some of the prettiest blouses have high-boned stocks of lace end long sleeves with lace cuffs —and just as many have round or "V" necks un 4. elbow —or three-quarter sleeves. Many of the tailored waists have t|ie applied pocket, and some of the new 'linen skirts have pockets on the side. The pockets on coat suits also are of the applied, or military type. Collars and Cuffs. On some of these low-necked waists are large sailor collars edged wijth Hace, the lace coming well down over the shoulder seams. Many of the col lars are pointed, and extend to tfie ■waistline in the back, an effective style for the broad-shouldered, and one that ulim women should eschew, because it tends to emphasize sllmness. Frills of lace are also still worn with the Dutch necks —after all, how slowly fashions change!

Sleeves for the blouses of thin ma terial are putin with a few gathers at the top, while in the silk and linen tailored waists the sleeve is inserted as in a man's shirts. A waist in proc ess of making was shown this week, with the revelation that the sleeves were stitched in before the under-arm sleeve was sewed up, seam and sleeve being then finished with one stitching. The fad for cuffs is aesthetic en thusiasm well spent. Nothing makes a prettier dress accessory when right ly handled. All sorts of cunning touches peep out at the wrists of the long-sleeved blouse, both in close-fit ting lace cuffs and In fluffy frills o( Valenciennes. Jabota and Bowt. Fortunately, since it is one of the most effective toilet details ever de vised, the jabot we shall continue to have with us. With the jabot, even the plainest blouse can be made love ly. But styles are changing In Jabots. Instead of being one-sided as during the winter, they will be two-sided. : They are worn with stocks and col- j lars, and there is a wide range of ef- : fects to choose from, both in point of : material and in shapes.

It winged out from the bib very gracefully and dropped into a point. Another beauty was long—extended all the way to the waist line, in fact —and was narrow. ; Some of the lace frills that are put on black satin stocks are made of ex quisite lace. They just miss being as pretty as the all white. Bows, too, are especially fascinating this spring. They are dressed-up j bows, plaited edgings of Alencon net adorning them, or little satin rosebuds dangling from their folds. FIRE DESTROYS PUBLINCHOOL $30,000 Damage to Building but Loss Covered by Insurance BLAZE HAD A GOOD START Alarm, Kept Silent Because of Ty phoid Patients, Fails to Call Volun teers, When Another Calamity Happened at Coatesville. Harrlsburg Correspondence.) Uarrisburg.—The main building of tlio Public School at Coatesville was destroyed by a tire oi unknown origin, causing a loss of about sau,Uoo. The building was about 40 years old, hav ing been the original structure sold to the borough when it was incorporated. The loss is fully covered by insurance. ! Efilcieut work on the part of the | Coatesville fire department saved the i two wings on either side of the build ! ing, and the primary and high school buildings adjoining the wings. The : silencing of the lire whistle, which ! was oidered a few days ago by Chief Fire Marshal Max Steinwachs on ac count of the typhoid fever epidemic, caused a delay in the lire department I getting into service. The .Ire evident ly started in Ihe hallway on the third floor, but by the time the firemen ar rived the entire second and third floors were burning. The lire is thought to have been caused by a short circuited electric wire. Last week the schools were closed for a period of 20 days on account of the ty phoid fever epidemic, and all arrange ments had been made to fumigate them. A report that was circulated to the effect that, the building had been set on fire while it was being fumigat ed was denied by the health authori ties. The fire, in connection with the i fact that the present school buildings are inadequate for the needs of the town means that a new building will ' have to be erected, adding a new ii j nancial burden to the town. The con- I struction of the new water supply sys- Item and the sewage disposal plant de | manded by the State will completely j exhaust the borrowing capacity of the j borough. Wiley Talks to Editors. One hundred editors from all parts j of the State attended the 40th annual meeting of the Pennsylvania State Editorial Association. The ninth an nual banquet was held and Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, pure food expert of the Gov j eminent, was the principal speaker. I Others who responded to toasts were Lieutenant Governor John M. Rey- J nolds, Senator William C. Sproul and Secretary of Internal Affairs Henry Houck. Fred Newell, of the Canton Sentinel, read a paper on "Co-opera i five Insurance," and E. G. Smith, of i the Wilkesbarre Times-Herald, told I about "Truthful Circulation." and C. | Dickinson, New Castle Herald, and W. i C. Freeman, of New York city, spoke | of other phases of circulation. To Conserve School Funds. William Lauder, of Kiddlesburg, ! member of the-State Board of Educa- J tion, submitted to the board a prelimi | nary report on a simplified system of j keeping accounts in school dis'r'cts of | the fourth clas*. in which thousands j of dollars have been spent and a con | siderable amount wasted in handling | school affairs. The new system, j which will be submitted to the board ! for action a' the coming meeting. | throws a num' er of safeguards arounc 1 ! the business operations of school : boards, which it is believed will be ad | vantageous. Mr. Lauder was the ori ginator of the idea of the school code for the State, having urged the pre sentation of the resolution for the Code Commission in the Legislature. Split Over Church Fund. Warrants were issued at NorrU- I town for a number of persons alleged to have been implicated in breaking up the service in the Polish Catholic I Church in Upper Merion, near Bridge j port. It is alleged that while Ad im Ostrowski was taking up the collec tion some one challenged his right to do so. In the disturbance which fol lowed the money is said to have been extracted from the basket. In the midst of the trouble men, women and children left the church in disorder. Ostro#ski has had warrants sw >rn out for Authony Kunizlviscz and Jo seph Picak. Plucks Feathers In a Car. Seated in a crowded trolley car at Berwick, a well-dressed stranger, aged about 45, leaned across the aisle, plucked all the feathers from an ex pensive hat worn by Mrs. .Tames Kle chner, of Briar Creek .and then hurl ed them in her face. Before eye-wit nesses recovered from their astonish ment the stranger had jumped from the car, and, running at high speed eluded pursuers. Thief Falls Into a Trap. By the means of marked money and a peephole, Chief of Police Laub, of West Berwick, caught Edward Hakes, of York, employed in the Berwitk plant of the American Car and Foun dry Company, in the act of going through the trousers of George Lin der, with whom he roomed. Thefts running into the hundreds of dollars from the Hotel Linden, West Berwick, had directed suspicion toward Hakes. The trap was set, he fell into it, and then confessed. He is in the county Jail here in default of bail. i MTMTIONAL SIIfMSdM LESSON j (By K. O. SELLERS, Director of Even ing Department, The Moody Bible In stitute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MARCH 24. FEASTING AND FASTING. LESSON TEXT-Mark 2:13-22. GOLDEN TEXT-"I came riot to call the rlehteous, but sinners."—Mark 2:17. Levi Matthew, who calls himself by the opprobrious title of"the publican," represents that class of grafting pa | triots who through all ages have ex- ; emplified the seven cardinal points of , a politician, viz., "the two loaves and I live fishes." Men who will weep over | sentimental patriotism and serve the j oppressor for profit. Better still, how ever, Matthew is a type of conversion : in that he left all and followed Jesus, j No weeping, but rather great rejoicing for he made a feast; no record of great conviction, though he had enough to act at once upon Jesus' invitation. It was a brief, sudden | call, but what vast results were in volved. First a demonstration upon his part, secondly a demonstration j upon the part of Jesus, and lastly a record of the life of the Master that has been termed the most important book ever written. Chronologically this lesson follows that of last Sunday. In Luke's account we are told of the ; feast Matthew prepared that he might : entertain Jesus. Some believe that Jesus began his work by trying to win the Jews through teaching in their | synagogues and that, receiving him or not, he turns to those outside of j the circle of the scribes and the phari- j sees. Be that as it may, we know ; they murmured greatly that this rabbi ! should consort with publicans and ' with sinners. Came to Call Sinners. Jesus hears of their complaint and his reply is a fine bit of irony and j ' sarcasm. "They that are whole have no need of a physician but they that j are sick. You self righteous Phari- J sees, why do you complain if you are aM right and these be all wrong, why i then not let me minister to those that ! need me?" At the same time Jesus j | utters one of his greatest and most | comforting sayings, "I came not to call j the righteous but sinners." Jesus chooses one of their own so- i cial outcasts to write the only dis- ' j tinctly Hebrew account of his life; one ! J who had been faithful as a business man to be a leader and historian; one willing to renounce all, say fare- j well to ambition and follow him. Following this, the disciples of John the Baptist and of the Pharisees are ! ; fasting and they observe that the dis ; ciples of Jesus are not so engaged, j I They came to Jesus with the question and his reply is a perfectly logical ; ' one, "Why should they fast, am I not | | with them?" "Do you fast at your • j weddings while the bridegroom is pres- j [ ent?" The day is to come, however, when he is to be taken away, then ! j there shall be time 3 for fasting. Jesus haa feasted with "many pub licanslicans;" when tlio bridegroom • returns he will sit down with many publicans and sinners in glory whom | he has associated with in order that lie might save them. Are we follow ing his example? If so, let us be sur« ; we do it from the same motive. The 1 disciples of John did the right thing j to bring their perplexities to Jesus. He answers their question as we havo | seen and we are now in the day he J mentions when there is a place for fasting. Jesus teaches us in his ref- j i erence to the wine bottles (leather j I sacks which could bear but one j i Btretching process due to fermenta- j tion of the wine), that we are to be new creatures in him and must leave i the old life and habits. We are not to make patchwork of this new Gos- ! pel and the old law. His Work That of Physician. There are two difficulties thus pre- I Bented in this lesson; first, that Je bus should hold fellowship with those properly not of his circle or social standing for he was a rabbi or teach er, and, secondly, that ho did not nor did his disciples observe fasting. Je : bus admits the character of the com : pany he kept, but his reply was,"l came for this purpose to call not the i righteous but the unrighteous." His work was to be that of a Physician. ! He assumes that his authority is not of man but of God, and that this min istry is to bring joy. Je3us had emp tied himself that he might come and j when he was to leave there it would j be time enough for his disciples to fast. Jesus was not merely one who ; came to teach a system of ethics a i ■ little higher than th« prophets. Je- j j bus is more than a good man or even | a holy man; he is the Great Physician, 1 able to heal both body and boul, a j Saviour. Before these lost ones can be saved, | however, they must realize they are I lost, for we cannot save those who 1 will not acknowledge themselves as | being lost. When we acknowledge wo j are sinnors he will save us (I Tim. j 1:15). Turn a deaf ear to his call ' and there is no more hope (Luke j 13:3). It has been suggested that the par | able of the prodigal son and the <-. Jer I brother was uttered at this feast in Levi's house; probably not, we do not know, but how truly it applies.

Senator Beveridge, at a luncheon in New York, was talking about the child labor problem. "Children are so plucky and so cheerful," he said, "we don't realize how horribly overworked they are till it's too late—till their bodies and minds are stunted irretrievably. "I was once talking to a tiny errand boy at the height of the Christmas shopping season. He was working, I knew, 17 hours a day. As he walked sturdily along with a mountain of par rels piled on his thin, narrow shoul ders, 1 said to him: i "'Do you like your Job?' "'Yes, sir,' he said; 'I like It fine.
