Mrs. Beale in the preface to their book, "that It will be said there is noth
ing new in the teaching, and we admit that there is repetition to what seems
an unnecessary degree, but wo pledge our word that we have put nothing of
our own Into the text We have considered It an imperative duty to add
this small link to tho chain of testimony which is binding our world ench day
more closely to the next."
After perhaps Blx weeks the "lessons" began nnd continued until twenty
four had been received and recorded, the insistent purport of which was that
the regeneration of the world nnd the solutions of enrth problems can be found
only In love and service, and the desiro and will of men to turn to God.
Amundsen Back
Capt. ltonld Amundsen, who is
world famous as the discoverer of tho
South pole is in the limelight again.
Washington scientists began Indulging
in a wide range of speculation over
tho announcement that Amundsen,
who has been in the arctic for 10
months, has arrived at Anadyr, which
is supposed to be in eastern Siberia
on the Anadyr river. The wireless was
received at Nome and gave no details.
One speculation was that it Is pos
sible Amundsen has attained tho North
pole with the aid of airplanes, with
which his ship, tho Maude, was
equipped. Ho has doubtless had op
portunity to accomplish tho drifting
process, which ho was confident would
take him from Barrow Island to with
in striking distance of the pole, over
land. On Mnrch 20 Inst, word reached
Chrlstlanin that; Captain Amundsen,
nccompanled by two of his men, had
left his ship for a dash to the pole.
Captain Amundsen became an 'expert flyer before leaving Norway, and
his original plan for arriving at the pole was to drift to a point between
Spltzenbergen nnd Greenland, and about 100 miles from the pole to take to
airplane for the final dash.
The return of Amundsen to Anadyr at this time may Indicate, In the
opinion of explorers, either good luck or the reverse. He had supplies for
seven years when he left Dixon island In the White sea, on September 10,
1018, and was convinced he would hnve accomplished his purpose before
three years.

that this organization, a similar ono
In British Columbia, and the Canndlan
Manufacturers' association decided to
Join TiT a greater congress this year.
The object of The congress Is to

States, eastern Cnnnda and Great Brit

From the Arctic
William LeRoy Emmet was doubt
less a proud man the other day when
tho superdrendnought Maryland was
launched at Newport News. For Uncle
Sam's newest battleship Is supposed
to bo Just about the most formidable
fighting machine afloat and Mr. Emmet
designed the wonderful electrical ma
chinery which is n large feature of
her construction and equipment.
He is an electrical engineer with
one of the big electrical companies
and has had naval training. He was
graduated from the United Stntes Na
val academy In 1881. He served two
years In the navy and re-entered the
service during the Spanlsh-Amerlcna
war. In 1015 he was a member of the
naval consulting board. He has done
some very valuablo work in steam tur
bine Inventions nnd Improvements.
He is an author and n writer for the
technical prcsg gn electrical and me
chanlcnl subjects. " otisiH
FROM the very plnln tailored suits
of wool to tho handsomely embroi
dered sport suit of silk Is quite a "far
piece," but the Interval Is filled with
suits that grnduully progress from the
plain model to Its smart rival. Street
clothes nowadays have a considerable
flavor of sports styles, although there
remains, and probably nlways will re
main, the trim, strictly tailored, business-like
utilty suit that holds the nl
legiunco of American women. This
they must hnve, others they may have,
nnd, if circumstances nllow, several
in vnrylng styles they do have. Ono
of them will bo as simple and. we
hope, ns well tailored as the mannish
suit pictured, another ns definitely a
sports style as tho suit at the right,
and others formnl or sportlsh.
Blue serge, It almost goes without
saying, is used for the first suit. Its
plnln skirt hns a little flare and is
mndo with box plaits down the frout
and back. It doesn't take long to
describe this very simple nffnlr but It
is worth while adding that It Is per
fectly fitted and tailored.

Blouses Ready
THERE are so many delightfully
pretty nnd chic blouses, made
ready for summer time, thnt It Is not
easy to choose among them. About
the most noticeable thing In many of
the new ones, Is their front fastening,
or occasional back fastening, negoti
ated with very obvious buttons nnd
buttonholes. After following devious
ways, lending to concealed buttons or
snaps nnd leaving us to guess how they
were got Into, they have come bnck to
a matter of fact mood and simply
button up ns In dnys of old. But there
are still plenty of slip-overs and other
styles wljli concealed fastenings.
Beginning nt the beginning of blouso
styles we have tho plain tnllored mod
els In linen, wash silk or satin, crepe-de-chlno,
and other suitable fabrics,
followed by ninny Iflouses of sheer
:ott6ns with voile nnd batiste at the
he,ad of. this dnlnty company. Made
ufl with handsome laces nnd lino
needlework, these mny reuch any de
gree of elegnnce. Finally there comes
the georgette blouse the flower of the
Hock and apparently tho greatest fa
vorite. A blouse and a short smock, both
of dark-colored georgette nmong those
ready .for summer, are pictured here.
In the blouse n piping of nnrrow satin
Is used to finish the edges. This mod
el Is provided with link buttons, satin-covered
nnd Joined by n small silk
cord. Two colors In silk ure used for
the embroidery that embellishes It and
ed at tho bottom nnd It is bound with
braid. A group of threo tucks or
cords, stitched In tho material nnd
running parallel' with tho edge of the
coat reveals a difficult piece of work
done with precision. A panel nt the
back Is simulated by a fold or cord
stitched In tho mnterlal that extends
downward from tho shoulders and
terminates In a rounded end. There
are plain coat sleeves nnd n small
collar.
A heavy fiber silk innkes tho sport
suit nnd a square-necked one-piece
dress takes the place of a blouso and
skirt to bo worn under tho coat. The
bodice Is extended to form n short
yoke for tho skirt, which Is stitched
on to it. In this suit it is the skirl
tlint claims most attention for it is
heavily embroidered In wool yarn. In
tho sweater coat a narrow shawl col
lar diminishes In width on its down
wnrtl way to the hem, where It terml
nates. The very wide hem turns up
on tho right sldo providing place foi
deep pockets and the coat has no dec
orntlon other thnn four penrl buttonr
thnt finish off the long sleeves. The
nnrrow belt Is made of tho goods.
for Summer
it Is mndo with the narrow shouldei
yoke which Is generally becoming.
Smocks hnvo grown shorter nnd
shorter until tho model pictured may
bo classed among those thnt aro mod
erately long. Except for being short
this Is n true smock, hnngfng straight,
from the sloulders and vlth long
sleeves" that flare. Tt's 7)eltT "of georg
ette Is tncked to tho body of tho
smock nt Intervnls to Insure a neat
adjustment at the bnck nnd sides. Em
broidery done In French knots, outline
and other stitches employs several col
ors. The selection of color for blouso
or smock and In tho embroidery silk,
Is n mnttcr of Individual taste and
gives tho cnpablo needlewoman a
chance to hnve something excliuilvely
her own. ..
