THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL,, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6. 1908. FCfr r v u n V i "A . e WHY la It that for 11 months of the year we find sufficient time to bend the knee In homage to our dressmaker, give a tedious timely imita tation of a "graven Image" for "tryings on" ainl linger long delicious moments over a decision between "this beauty" and laat "lovely" something-or-other? Why Ih It that when the 12th month the month before Christmas comes ami fashion stands for a moment with all her ldtosyorasles and fancies fulfilled and f'nf essed. that we find oueselvt-s dashing madly through 30 days of din ners, danceg and parties, apparently not on speaking terms with a speed limit, and our wardrobe "our pride and our Joy" that we have believed with an Inward smile of satisfaction equal to any emergency beginning to give way and prove Inadequate to our strenuous demands? It is at this most trying of times that we turn instinctively to the shops and what a delight It is to find our every wish materialize. Shadows of Fashion. The elusive shadow play of fashion Is caught and expressed In the most won derful creations of silk, laces, rihbons and fur. the dainty little accessories that lend a fresh touch to our drooping costumes and the ordinarv necessaries for every day wear that in the holiday rush we have not the time to devote t'i making. It Is a downright Impossibility for even the most determined not-to-be-surprised Christmas shopper to do the popular stores and not lose a series of breaths over the magnitude and won drous scope of the displays. 1'nless one has a pretty well defined Working knowledge of the particular thing one as started out to buy "closing up time" is apt to find a very tired person empty handed, eyes distended like a pair of derby hats and nothing left ofva once fluently descriptive vocabulary but "Oh s" and "Ah's". The sketches shown were made from models selected at various Portland shops atHl are Intended to suggest ideas for more or less formul evening wear The New Vogue Hats. It Is difficult to find adjectives suf ficiently striking to dlscribe the im ported VoRiie creations called "hats" Ht the l.ipman Wolfe company. The effective pattern (Al is of white henga llne wit., a pronounced cord In Its weave, the under brim is rough black beaver. The shape Is circular and of the large dimension so noticeable In this season's millinery. It Is worn fur down over the eyes. The large flat irown of white fox Is somewhat Ir regular and 1 finished at the right side with a severely tailored bow of black velvet ribbon. Popular Neck Paraphernalia.

Many little ermine skins make up the luxurious set lettered (C) and shjjwr: at Silvcrfields. Could anything be more fascinating than the small dungling: paws and. tails, with tiny furry faces and their bright glass eyes? The muff Is built on original Hues, being the new rug shape, and adds the finishing touch par excellence. The quaint little pot hat Illustrated is made otj ermine skins and edged with a broad band of black velvet. An ermine head with tails topped bv a black nlgrett- finishes the left side.

Black lynx is one of the most popular furs, but because of the enor mous demand will doubtless l.e very scarce as the season advances. A Modish Robe. Novel, Indeed.

If a man were to devote his whole life to remedying this -one evil. I do not think that in all our modern civilization lie could find a worthier cause. Gibbon has made the remark that the Christians of the patriotic pej iod were more concerned in arguing about the exact nature, of Christ than In en deavoring to follow his precepts. Surely It Is true today that many Christians fix their eyes so intently upon Isolated texts, which have been shown to he liable to misunderstanding and mis translation, that they lose sight of that broad' . spirit of Christianity which Is the very essential of the teaching. Take Christ's own life, and mark the generous, tolerant, liberal traits which, even In the scanty and imperfect chronicle of the gospels, mark him out us the kindliest and most humane of men Where there was a choice he was ever on the side of charity and com mon sense. He drank wine himself and is said to have exetHed miraculous powers that others might drink. In an argument on Sabbatarianism he took the more liberal view. H freelv and Instantly forgave the wom an taken . In - sin. His heart went out to children, to the poor, -to everyone who needed support and comfort, and It Is this strain in his teaching which has caused it. in spite of the theolo glans to win the love and adherence of mankind. But compare this spirit with that pedantic and heartless system wb,leh would refuse to bury an ijnbaptlrcd tbv with Its dead mother, iwt'd would, as was reaffirmed by eighty-seven fath ers of the churchVbe other day, refuse to allow a msn or a woman to have a Chance' of happiness In marriage be cause, through no fault of their own, they had 'already buffered great un hspplness. ' . Such decisions i brin contempt upon the church and mark the gulf which, divides jho rubric from the true go- pels. the Christian church from the ideals of Christ. I know that argument Is useless on such questions, and that when once, one's ideas arc set. it is only a most exceptional person who is strong enough to change them. I am sure that there are many thousands who ar- anxiously waiting for a solution of ute question of divorce and remarriage, men and women who have been firsi grievously wronged bv an Individual and are now treated with equal cruelty bv the church. The statistics of the 14.000 people In England alone ev ry year who are con signed either to celibacy or to immor ality by the wicked arrangement called judicial separation, are a rational shame and scandal What can be done to bring about a more rational system of div-or.P'. am convinced that the. vast majority of all eommiinkies In the world desire It, but this majority is nowhere organized while our opponents ure. There is. 1 am aware. In Kngland a body called the Marriage Reform So ciety, but it seems to me to be a very stagnant organization. I have been a member of it for some time, but have seen no signs of life or vigor. Some strong central body, with ilocal branches and definite political Influence, is needed before success can be counted on. t The fight against bigotry and me dlaevallsrn may be long and hard, but those who take part In It will have their strength upheld by the knowledge that they fought for thousands of scat tered and helpless people wha are un able to fight for themselves.
