CASTING THE SUFFRAGE LIBERTY BELL
/
A separate coat, which becomes a
suit-coat when worn with its own par-
ticular skirt, but is available for
wear with various frocks, will com-
mend itself to every woman, espe-
cially to her who contemplates a jour-
ney. Many of these coats have been
designed this season, and they have
been enthusiastically welcomed. They
are shown in tans, grays, black and
white mixtures, and In checks. In
these neutral colors they go well with
frocks or skirts in any color.
One of the newest and smartest of
coats of this kind is shown in the
picture. It is cut with almost
straight lines at the front and back
and trimmed In braid and buttons
with a crisp military precision At
each side, a little beLew the waist
line, there Is an insert of fan plaits,
giving the desired flare, and the
double turnover collar, set on at the
back, is another concession to ' de-
mands of the vogue. '
The skirt to match is plain, fitted
about the hips and with a very con-
servative Hare from hip line to bot-
tom edge. It is a little longer than
ankle length, but short enough to be
a correct tailored model.
In nearly all coats of this kind the
fit is vague, • the waist line either
raised above or dropped below the
normal, and only a suggestion, at
most. In many of them lines are
perfectly straight or show a gradual
flare from the shoulders down.
New Towels.
Some of the newest Turkish towels
have an Initial quite four or five inches
long, worked In French knots at the
left of the towel, above the border, in-
stead of in the center, as is usually
done. For a man's use towels worked
w ith these large letters are very good
looking.
Among the newest designs for small
guest towels is one of a fine damask of
a very small pattern without a woveu
border. The latter is hemstitched on
and consists o! an inch-wide hem of
colored linen, pink or blue.
The' initial may be embroidered in
white on the hem or worked on the
towel itself in a color to correspond
•with the hem.
Separate Coats.
Separate coats are receiving a great
deal of attention; motor coats con-
tinue to be full length or seven-eighths.
Some of the newer coats are of uneven
length.
Headwear for All-Weather Motoring
Now that the, return of spring lures
everyone to the out-of-doors, devotees
of motoring are happily busy getting
together their "motor togs." Coats
and headwear for raln-or-shine driv-
ing must he considered from every
point of view, and let no one think
that becomingness is not as impor-
tant In motor apparel as in any other.
Hut this is a hint hardly needed for
the buyer of headwear. Women are
accustomed to placing becomingness
as the paramount essential when
choosing any kind of millinery. In
the c':oice of motor hats there is so
great a range this spring that one
can afford to be exacting and to look
until the very best model is found.
Two nfotor bonnets are pictured
here that may be depended upon for
good Bervlce. They are made of silk.
One of them boasts a brim and is quite
like a bat in shape. It is developed
in pongee with brim-rever turning up
at the back over the folded-over
crown. A silk cord and fan of fringed
braid supply the decoration and these
are supplied in any color demanded.
The bonnet at the left of the picture
is made In changeable taffeta piped
with a dark color in the same silk.

In spirit, he lies down to sleep a
stone for his pillow; the vaulted iieav- !
ens for his canopy. In the darkness
of the night, the consciousness of sin
steals over him and a guilty con-
science gives uneasy rest. He felt
that the sin which separated hjra from
his father's home, must separate him
from his father's Qod.
It is at such times, when one is
truly awakened to a sense of sin in
himself, that God can and will mani-
fest his grace. Jacob had no sense
of worthiness; on the contrary, his
conscience condemped him as a guilty
sinner before God. It was then that
God broke open the heavens -and out
of the depths of love disclosed the
ladder of grace which reached the
man in need; at its summit God, sur-
rounded by the 'glory and brightness
of heaven; at its base, poor wayward
Jacob, shrouded in darkness; and as-
cending and descending, the angels of
God. Is not this a true picture of God's
grace as manifested through Christ
who is the ladder reaching from God
td needy man.
Loved Ones at the Bottom.
Years ago, an explosion in a coal
mine hurried many souls into eternity.
A great crowd gathered, appalled by
the terrible calamity. It could not be
ascertained who had been killed, or
wounded, or who were still exposed
alive to the fire which was advancing
in every direction. Where was the
man willing to imperil his life by de-
scending into the pit? A person of in-
fluence succeeded In gaining the at-
tention of the throng, and asked if any
were ready to face death by entering
the mine. Instantly a number stepped
forward. "Rut," said a Christian, who
witnessed the thrilling scene, "I no-
ticed that none volunteered, except
those who had loved ones at the bot-
tom."
Just so it was with him, who left
the throne of glory and the courts of
heaven' to come to our relief. What it
cost him to make the descent from
such a height to such a depth, we
shall not fully know throughout eter-
nity, but we know now that he would
never have descended, if he had not
had loved ones at the bottom.
The Word of Grace.
God did not leave Jacob, perplexed
by the vision, but spoke to him the
word of grace; "I am the Lord God of
Abraham, thy father . . .; the land
whereon thou liest, to thee will I give
it. And behold I am with thee in all
places whither thou goest, and will
bring thee again into this land, for I
will not leave thee until I have done
that I have spoken to thee of." Put j
in the energy of a fleeing, fallen man, I
an "If" obscured the grace at Bethel. ]
It led Jacob to bargain with God and
brought sad failure. God asked noth-
ing of Jacob, simply faith: but Jacob i
said to God, 'if you will do so and so'—
"then shall the Lord be my God and
of all that thou shalt give me, I will
surely give a tenth unto thee."
So Jacob left Ilethol, having- accept- :
ed God's grace conditionally. Relying j
partly upon God and partly upon self, j
he soon lost sight of the grace at |
Bethel, but amidst all his scheming
nnd planning the God of Hethel never
forgot Jacob Grace that saved, kept
him and at last brought him back to
Bethel where grace was accepted ful-
ly. Faith took the place of sight and
| grace won the day.

In the presence of prominent suffragists from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New York, a new "liberty bell'"
was cast at a Troy, N. Y., foundry. It is the hope of the suffragists that the bell will toll victory for the suffragists
in three states next November After the tell is exhibited throughout Pennsylvania it will be set up in Independ-
ence square. Eventually it is hoped to hang it in a tower in Washington. Mrs. Frank M. Roessing, the president of
the Pennsylvania Woman's Suffrage association, is shown at tHe wheel of the ladle. At the right are Mrs. Kath-

Spring Waists.
Spring waists are both novel and
wearable. The most noticeable fea-
tures are the continued use of high
collars and the return of jabots and
ruffles. That the1 jabot has returned Is
good news, for never did women look
more attractive than when they wore
jabots and ruffles of crisp linen nnd
lace.—Vogue.
us in doubt as to what Christ's Buf-
fering on the cross means. He hath
spoken the word. "And by him all
that believe are justified from all
things from which ye could not be
justified by the law of Moses." And
God, who exercises perfect grace,
meets us just where he met Jacob, out
upon the hills of sin In the very spot
where we find ourselves, like Jacob,
guilty, helpless and alone.
Have you accepted fully God's gift
of grace? Or, like bargain-making
Jacob, are you now trusting In God,
now In self? now walking by sight, now
In faith? If so, the God of all grace
meets you and asks you to receive
without condition his blessed gift.

Plans Long Air Flights.
Ocean-to-ocean flights along three
routes for a transcontinental prize
are planned by the Aero club of Amer-
ica as a part of its national 90-days'
aeroplane competition, beginning July
4, next, the club announced. The
competition, as stated in the club's
recent announcement, is designed to
assist the war and navy departments
In developing aviation corps for the
National Guard and naval militia, and
also to demonstrate the practicability
of mail carrying by aeroplane to Iso-
lated places. i
"To carry the competition Into
every state, the contest committee of
the Aero club has outlined three main
tr iscontinental routes," says the
statement. "Every aviator in Amer
ica will be able to reach one of these
routes at some point by a cross coun-
try flight of moderate length. The
contest committee believes that there
will be many aviators who, In flying
for the daily cross country prizes of
$100 a day, will flnd themselves on
the way across the cctatinent In pur-
suit of this aim, and who will flnd it
to their advantage to keep on in an
effort to gain the sea to sea prize."
