' A sad sad sight she was In garment a year or so or -several behind the

slon seemed to say: "Oh these weary gray skies and muddy pavements what's
the use?" That. la Just the way she loo ked the-old-fashioned rainy daisy. .' -
But today well that Is a differerit story. The rainy day girl of today re-

coat of a pretty color and on well cut stylish lines she counts an absolute
necessity. .She has a very good Jooklng umbrella that matches br coat la col'

She doesn't. wear an I-don't-ttare air either. She does oar tremendously. - be
take just as much pride in her toilet for . rainy days as any other in fact. -a
little more for the out-ot-doors has such a naturally dreary look that she
strives to look her very best. What does she ears for gray skies and' muddy
pavements and rain splashes when she Is so perfectly protected from the ele-

The Esnt(l to Character.
It Is- bitter medicine bat the one

discipline. . ' '
It is well to have foroe' genius vigor
enthuaiasm love power but you may
have them and be a criminal a maniac
or a cad; you become great only when to
these you add self control.
The latest movement In education ' is.
toward developing the Initiative of tbo
child. This can hardly be carried too
far. And the old stupid method of
thwarting denying and browbeating lit-
tle ones just for the sake oi discipline
can not be too roundly condemned.
But for all that there Is danger -that
In our new eagerness to find and bring
put the child's forces we may forget the
prime need of strengthening his self-denial.

.. Pique Collars and Cuff. .
Rolled pique; collars that are attached
to vest front of the same can be sdoed
to any coat front or will kp with tne
one piece dress that Is always opened
with a deep V at the neck this season.
The pique In all these models Is neither
stiff nor limp; it has-to be wired If It
1 to stand up about the neck. All the
filque models are cqt plain; some of them
re In Tery fancy weaves or have a tit-
le running spray of white mercerized
embroidery) along the edges.
Some pretty sets for dresses or .coats
are mad of silk In gay bayadere stripes.
The deep gauntlet cuffs are held togeth-
er by cufflike buttons. The collars are
of the same sailor shapes as the pique
or the lawn; sometimes revers are ad-
ded. Dancing Frocks. ...
In the dancing frocks the smarter
models are mad of pleated flounces
either arranged on the skirt edge or made
wide enough to form the entire skirt
says the Dry Goods Economist. Usually
three oj . four nf these pleated tiers are
In the full length skirt.
It Is si noticeable feature that the long
tunic ha been lengthened until H
reaches nearly to the skirt edge. Very
full tunica of tulle of chiffon or of lao
are banded with velvet ribbon with fur
or with flowers thus giving the effect of
three or four separate tiers. Snatches of
a narrow underskirt are see a through
this full over drapery In this way the
narrow silhouette being retained.
Very short indeed are the dancing
frocks tome of the formal -evening
gowns have fairly wide trains but these
train dresses are very abort in front.

By William T. Ellis.
Only a very few names are known to
all the civilised vorld;and there Is but
one that is the synonym of treason in-
gratitude and blaoli .Hnioyilty. To say
"Judaa" Is to call cp the world's ore
personality whoss name h synonymous
with all that humanity Instinctively
despises. The worst adjective that can
be applied to any man today la to call
him a "Judaa"
Yet "Judas the Traitor" was once
Judas the loyal warm-hearted aspiring
Jewish patriot seeking to follow the best
light he could find. As a mother sees
her Innocent babe In the face of her
murderer son so we can not help re-
calling the other Judas the man who
might have been.
ORTHODOX '
BUT A TRAITOR.
Only one of the 11 apostles came from
ultra-orthodox Judea and he was Judas.
The aristocracy of the Jewish religion
was found In the province of Judea.
They counted themselves a little mors
loyal to Jehovah and the naw than their
fellow Jew from other parts. By an-
cestry and environment Judas had great-
er advantages than his comradea H
was the ultra -orthodox disciple whose
home was nertrest to the temple and Its
religious privileges.
It any man is counting on his family
line or his social and religious standing
to deliver him from disloyalty and sin
hs would better take a long ook at tne
cas of Judas. No man Is so high that
he may not fall low. Church member-
ship doea not save one from treason to
Christ Even bctivlty In religious work
Is no guarantee that one may not fali
Into grievous sin. The first simple mes-
sage of the Judaa story Is to be self-
distrustful and modest "Let him that
Standeth take heed test he falL"
"One ship drives east another drives
-west
While th solfsam breeses blow;
Tla th set of the sails and not the
gales
That bids them where to go. -
Uk the wln1 of the air. are the wars
f the fatea. 1
'As we journey along through life.
Tie the set of the soul that decides the
- goal.' -. -And
not. the storm or the strife.'

ful scheming avaricious traitor. ; Eyi-eenlly-
hU Jlrst disloyalty was unwil-

mon with the other disciples he did not
approve of Christ setting up a aplrltnal

of money. -'Avarice made Judaa a mur-
derer . and a traitor; even as it has
changed many another God-fearing man
Into a hard cruel - auspicious money-

In the black shadow of the Judaa
crime may we not forswear solemnly the
beginnings of the deadly sin of avarice?
RUNNlKlQ WITH """"
A NSW CROWD.
Sweeter tenderer and more - beautiful
than all the prayer meetings ever held
waa that which Jesus shared with his
disciples on th Isat night In the upper
room; The comfort of that gathering
has blessed tbe world for II centuries
since i Judaa shirked It He had no
taste for prayer meetings a symptom of
his moral and spiritual 'decline which
he did not fully realise' himself. He
forsook the gathering in the upper loom
before the last supper waa instituted
and sought out a crowd more hi accord
with-his new. mood.
Imagine thaw horror bf It! Judss 'Who
liad walked day and night In th sweet
fellowship of Jesus and the eleven was
now consorting" with th ' Pharisees and
priests and aristocratic foes of v Jesuk.
We see him next the center of a crowd
made up of temple police Roman sol-
diers and the bloodthirsty mob. little
Joy he had hi thiscornpany.
Nor did they have any more pleasure
In him. In an that mob who accompa-
nied htm to the trystlng place of Jesus
there was none so low as to respect tne
traitor. He had betrayed his manhood.
The very men who used him cast him
off and bad him bear his own sin and
shame.
No man ever was permanently satis-
fied with a- bad bargain. News has re-
cently come from Ireland concerning a
well known figure In the financial
world who was a passenger on the ill-
fated Titanic. He used his authority
to secure a place In one of thv boats
although many wumen and children wtre
drowned. The whole world pointed a
finger of scorn at him. He was obliged
to retire from all his official positiona.
Now be has secluded himself In an Irish
estate where even the peasants cursu
his name as they pass his gates. In
every bitter hour of the existence that
he thought would be sweet life he now
knows that death were far better than
this odium. He betrayed hi manhood
and 'has learned the Judas lesson that
hv ksvo all and got nothing. It wae
rogi.'M that Judas should kill himsei.v;
for all that makes life wv.'li Hvins titid
been killed for him by his denial Of his
own manhood.
LOVK'S 8IQN AS
TREASON'S TOKEN.
Some persons deny that there (s a
devil but no explanation abort of Satan
himself can account for the act of Judas
when he came to point out his Master
and friend to his murderer. Disappoint-
ment ambition overwhelming avarice
might account for his trafficking with the
enemies of Christ but to betray him by
a kiss that needa Satan for its ex-
planation. It was not a casual kiss a dainty peck
at the lips such as we see-two women
give when they meet The Greek word
shows us that Judas kissed his Master
with all the passionate ardor of unre-
strained affection a better translation
would be h kissed him again and again."
as the prodigal's father kissed his return-
ing sonr and aa th -grateful woman
klased the font of the Master. .The same
word is ued in all these eases.- Delilah's
betrayal of Samson waa not comparable
to this horrible simulation of the highest
devotion for -the purpose of the lowest
betrayal.
"Hall! Master!" The familiar and
affectionate old greeting of th comrade
laya when the Twelve traveled together
with their Lord was the' word- that ac-
companied the act of betrayal.- There
waa not one of th beholders who pos-
sessed a vestige of manhood that did not
loathe this ingrate's act las he thus sold
his best friend to death for the sake of a
few pieces of sliver.
Those who have looked most; 'deeply
Into life are assured ' that one of the
master-words to dominate conduct la loy-
alty. Th . good business man and ' the
successful politician alike count this the
cardinal virtue. They stand true te those
who have any -claim upon their aUeaianc.
Loyalty alone is worth whila . Friends
may prove false but we. at least may
stand true. As Shakespeare says "Leare
is not love which altera when It altera-
tion finds" . The simple reason why
thousanda of American home a being
shipwrecked Is that they have lest sight
of th pre-eminent plas of royalty -which
transcends even th obligations of love
in religious work m business. In pollUee
In social life loyalty Is th vtrta which
perhaps more than any other la called
for at the present time. .-. . ...
Judaa waa the greatest 'of 'all human
catastrophes. the eornpietest . of mortal
failures. - Let us team from Ma abiect
figure that It 1a only worth while In life
to follow the example of Judas' steadfast
MearterK Who ?Havlnf roved Ma ewa .. w .
he loved them unto the end."' - -

War in Europe Should Be
America'. Opportunity in
Business Way.
Bepresentative John H. Klrby returned
to Houston Wednesday night from Aus-
tin where he has been in attendance
during two extraordinary sessions of the
legislature. Mr. Kirby has figured' quite
prominently in the somewhat stirring
matter of defeating legislation proposed
by the governor. He comes home with
the belief that the proper view for the
whole country Just now Is optimism.
Bald he to The Post:
"It is a time when the calamity howler
should stop his rantlnsr.
"It is a period for the action of patriots
rather than th fulminations of dema-
gogues. "It is an hour for Individual and na-
tional optimism.
"It Is an evil bird that befouls its
own nest.
"It Is unprofitable to fry stinking fish.
"The people of Texaa and the doodIo
of the South can survive a total loss of
the. cotton crop. Such a catastrophe
however has not come upon us. The
law of supply and demand has been In-
