Front Lace Corsets That Fit
Many fashionable women want their corsets to lace in
front; they aim for the absolute smooth back which is
necessary with certain styles of dress. Many equally well
dressed women always insist on Warner’s because they
know the comfort and fashionable lines that these corsets
give, and appreciate the quality that makes them wear
long after an ordinary corset has gone to pieces.
We call your attention to the new FRONT LAUE1)

Wassom Feb. 14, 1914. It was an ideal
winter day. In fact any kind of weath-
er, good or bad, would not have kept
the club members from carrying out
their plans for the day of merrymak-
ing and entertaining their husbands
and children.
The large, spacious rooms were dec-
orated in red hearts and white drap-
ery. The dining tables were decorat-
ed with red. white and pink carna-
tions. The tables fairly groaned with
their load of victuals, both dainty and
substantial. There were plates to
serve thirty-three at one time, and
101 people were served. After dinner
the tables were cleared away and a
program of literary and music was
given. A farce was pui 011 by the
young ladies called "A Borrowed
Luncheon,” and made quite a mit.
There were six of the best looking
married women of the club played the
farce entitled "The Pull-Back.” They
proved themselves every one to be an
artist in that line. After, the program
the men were given a chance to
'“speak.” Several of the men gave
brief talks in regard to the elub, and
what it meant socially, to the commun-
ity. Each paying splendid compliments
to the ladies in making (his affair a

consider the reading of the text. The
issue is not between the doubter and
I his ancient record, but between the
doubter and the Jord Jesus Christ.
This incident has within it the miracu-
lous interposition of God. To the man
who denies miracles, the story could
be nothing more than a myth. This
w as the power of God. The man who
denies miracles sets himself up as
omniscient, and thereby arrogates to
himself one of the prerogatives of
God. The story received the indorse-
ment of Christ. Christ alluded to this
incident as a fact. The incident was
a type of Christ’s burial and resurrec-
tion, and was so referred to by the
great Teacher.
The story is largely a picture of a
man running away from duty, and
that a duty enjoined of God. The fu-
tility of such efforts, being realized,
the prophet renders obedience to the
appointment, and carries the message
to Nineveh. The message creates a
profound impression, and the great
city repents. The great truth taugh
by the lesson, is repentance, and the
vvililngness of God to hear the call
of the sincere penitent. The evange-
list then made a stirring appeal for
people of this day to repent, and turn
to God. Many were visibly affected t>>
the earnest appeal of the evangelist
and two made the good confession.
