This last Horn In the costume Is decidedly new In stylo and one sees this Spanish Idea In evldenco wherever the new millinery modes are displayed. The hat is made of velvet over a frame having a flat brim and a soft, puffed crown. A narrow band of vel vet encircles the crown at Its base. Small silk-covered balls are set about the brim-edge and two sprays of flow ers. In vivid-colored velvet, set In dark foliage, are applied flat to the brim. It is posed at a saucy angle on the head by means of a bandeau, which lifts it at the left side. A scarf of soft silk Is draped over the bandeau and finished with a loop and two pointed en Is that hang toward the back. They are weighted with the lit tle balls sot about the point. The bodice of black lace over white chiffon is cut in kimono fashion, with sleeves extending below the el bow. The open throat Is finished with A Hat for Every Day if? Although there Is no end of variety In the shapes of hats for little girls, the small-brimmed hat promises to continue as a favorite. At least five out of six of all the hats shown may be relied upon to carry a soft, moder ately large crown upon a gently droop ing brim. The brims are more or less wide and more or less flexible, the wider ones providing the floppy, grace fully curved lines about the face that suit girlhood so well. A hat for daily wear, to and from school, or otherwhere, and one of vel vet for dress-up are shown here. They are selections from a number of thor oughly practical hats for little girls. The hat for school wear Is made up In veral novel weaves In woolen fabrics and has a plain crown and a flexible brim. Machine stitching is an Important factor In Its nia'.-.e-up. The brim may be turned up or down at any position. The crown Is quite plain and finished at Us base with a band of the same material as the hat. Col or contrasts and novel patterns In the material are the factors that place this hat above the commonplace. The hat at the right Is of brown vel vet with soft puffed crown and plain brim that suggeots the poke-bonnet shape. A full ruchlug of tan-colored satin ribbon is gathered about the Join ing of the crown and brim. Near Its Milk Biscuits.

Little pearl buttons, set close together, and a narrow fancy braid at each side, decorate It. The skirt Is plain and gathered with a little standing ruffle about the waist lino. The bottom is finished with shallow scallop bound with the taffeta. It Is rather short and, alto gether, the dress goes well with the very new hat which Is worn to such advantage with It. This costume is an excellent one for general afternoon wear and will please those who are fond of Informal dances the devotees of the dansunt. Embroidered Dress. A very attractive dress for a child Is made In one piece. A collar and bolero effect are gained by means of embroidery work dono In outline stitches and Trench knots. If the work Is done with colored thread on white linen or fine pique, the two features stand out more prominently. A crushed girdle of liueu to match the color of thread used for embroid ery is placed rather far below the nat ural waist line. and One for Sunday lower edge it Is gathered in a tiny ruffle and sewed to the upper brim. There is a full bow with short-standing loops and longer hanging ones at the back. One small, metal blossom rests on the brim at the loft side. There is nothing startllngly new or unusual In those hats although the season offers some very pretty inno vations for those who are looking for them. There are odd four-cornered brims and hats with crowns made In suctions that are laced together with silk cord. There are transparent brims and occasionally one sees birds or flowers, or little chickens, or duck lings, cut out from velvet and applied to velvet hats In a contrasting color. JULIA BOTTOM LEY. Blue and White Footwear, Black and white footwear has been rather overdone In the last few months, although It Is still worn by very smart women. But blue and white footwear Is not rnly newer, but less likely to be overdono than black and white. There are some charming blue pumps (navy blue of course), touched with pipings and bands of white kid, and those are worn with navy blue silk stockings, showing white clocking or narrow Btrlpes of white. This blue footwear is, of course, worn with navy blue frocks. the yolks of three eggs beaten up with a little milk, and a few drops of va nilla essence. 81ft in half a pound of self-raising flour, beat the white of the eggs to a stiff froth, and add them to the mixture, Btlrrlng all together for five mln'ites.

Elijah's great victory over the prophets of Baal which resulted In their extermination is followed by a most notable prayer service on the top of Mount Carmel (18:42-45). So confident was the prophet that at the arising of "a little cloud," he hastily summoned the feasting king and urges his departure to his homo, "that the rain stop thee not." The God whom Elijah had honored so signally that day laid bis hand upon the prophet (18:46) so that he was able to outrun the king's horses to the entrance of Jezreel. There he Is met by a mes senger of the wicked queen (19:2) who had been the protector and pro vider of the slain prophets. Getting his eyes off of God and seeing only a vile and wicked woman Elijah not only ran fcr his llfo out of Ahab's do mains but also "went a day's Journey into the wilderness" to the protecting shade of a juniper tree (v. 4). I. The Discouraged Prophet, vv, 4-8. Old and young, great and small, we all have our periods of discourage ment and frequently despair. Chris linn's encounter with Giant Despair appeals to us all for It is so true to life. At Carmel, Elijah controlled the king; In his palace at Jozrcel, Jezebel soon shattered his good resolutions. If he had any. We must recall that It was her prophets Elijah had de stroyed. There is a suggestion in the fact that Klijah did not enter her presence (18:40). Yonder in the wil derness, his Gethsemane, Elijah prayed a vastly different sort of prayer than upon Mount Carmel Jezebel Ib still In power. Heathenism Is not overthrown, his efforts had been but trying to "dam Niagara with bul rushes." No one who has ever hpard the ora torio "Elijah" sung will ever forget tho bitter agony of "It Is enough." The prophet who alone had been ex alted to the heights was alone capable to sounding such a depth of human despair. The sources of his dlscour agement were his physical condition, his loneliness, inactivity, mental reac tion and a feeling that his cause was lost. God's first remedy was to feed his fainting servant and then give him a task to perform, viz., a Journey to Mount Horeb (Mount of God), for Go loved him just as truly now as pre viously at Carmel. In this new strength Elijah went "forty days" (v 8; I Pet. 2:2). II. The Encouraging God, vv. 9-11 God's second remedy was to give Elijah his word though this time it suggested reproof. "What doest thoa here?" Elijah Is out of place. In re ply he begins to rehearse his loyalty to God, and how bad the others were and then In seeming petulance he adds, "and they seek my life." ,1 only," are the words of the selfish mas and when Elijah used them he too was a backslidden servant, It is true that there was great apostasy in Israel but the prophet was far from being the only true servant remaining. (See 18:4; 20:13; 22:35, 41; 22:8). Thl Is a favorite way the Evil One has for paralyzing our efforts. There Is no evidence but that the 7,000 were as brave, certainly at that moment more so, than Elijah. God then continued his treatment by giving the prophet vision of himself and of his meth ods for advancing his kingdom. A series of symbols made the truth plainer and more Impressive than words alono could possibly have done. Leaving the protecting cave Elijah first met a wind which "rent the mountains," a type of Elijah's past activity. This was not God's chief power nor method. The mighty wind which destroys Is as nothing com pareU to the silent forces which cre ate. III. The Result, vv 14-18. As a sot erelgn remedy God now sets before Elijah three definite tasks to perform, Elijah still speaks of his faithfulness as though the success of The Cause depended upon him. The man who assumes that attitude in the work of God's kingdom will, like Elijah, soon be Bet aside. Elijah's first task was to avoid Israel and go to Damascus and "anoint" set apart for special Bervlce Hazael (v. 17), who was to be the Instrument of punishing Israel. Ills next task was to find Jehu, the commander in chief of Ahab's army, and set him aside to be the king, not Immediately but to be in training for that office. Elijah's work Is now not that of fire and wind, but of the "still small voice." To others is delegated the more spectacular tasks which these typify. In this connection (v. 17) those are strange words, "shall Elisha slay." To fully understand them we must be familiar with that prophet's life and work, also with that accomplished by Jehu. (See II Kings 2:23, 24; Hob. 6:5, 6; Isa. 11:6.) Elijah's third task was to appoint his successor and surely no hartier task ever comes to any of us than to turn over our work to another.

Exact Copy of Wrapper STOPPING TRAFFIC IN OPIUM China Is Slowly but Surely Putting an End to Vice That Threatened National Existence. China Is slowly but none the less surely putting a stop to the tralllc In opium. The government has not wavered or faltered for a singlo In staut sinco it declared war on the deadly drug, and tho most gratifying results have attended Its efforts Im portations, which used to run up as high as 10,(100,000 pounds yearly, have been constantly falling off, until Ir 1914 only 997,0tiG pounds were Im ported. The Bhowlng made is remark able In view of the fact that hundreds of thousands, millions, without doubt, of Chinese are addicted to the use of opium. Statistics ot the trade show that since lSt3 opium worth approximate ly $1,000,000,000 has been consumed In China, and the men who have grown rich In the unholy traffic have UBcd their money freely to continue Its Im portation. They first tried to prevent legislation, and then encouraged smug gilng. All to no purpose. The ruling powers had made up their minds as to the reason why China was so far behind the rest of the world and de termined to remove tho cause. Some Idea of the immenso amount of work to be done to bring about the total extinction of the traffic is gained when It 1b stated that there a-o still 6S5 opium shops In the Shanghai Intprn.v tlonal settlement Owing to the un relenting attitude of the Chinese gov ernment, however, It is expected all the Shanghai "Joints" will be closed within two years.

Rural distribution of electric current has made great advances in the last two yea-s. In some communities the farmers have financed local distribu tion systems, tiking current from the nearest cross-country transmission line at one point and retailing it among themselves.
