The great picture, ''Pershing's

and to see it is to leave the pic

A man's word may bo as good ns his
bond, but we notice thnt most business
men prefer to have tho bond.
Haste makes waste, but as a rule It's
our most uncommon form ot extrava
gance. ,
By now the ultimate consumer ex
pects to bo told whenever ho enters a
store that everything III It tins gono up
(Oj price.
Many a man who says he has no
use for n liar can think back to the
time when he was mighty glnd to have
ono along.
As nearly as we ran get nt It, red
tape Is nothing but a system which re
quires six months to do n Job Unit
act Ion could do In as many ilnj-s.
One ot tho things wo aro waiting to
see Is what the men who enn drink
or leave it alone ere going to do when
they're obliged to leave It alone.
' The trouble with most young fellows
Is thnt they proceed on the theory thnt
tho folly they commit today will not
bo heard of tomorrow. A past Is tho
biggest handicap the futuro has to
overcome. 1
All the long procession of maids.
from kindergarten tot to college girl,
win uo ntuiigiy cina ails fall In Him-
pie nnd substantial clothes. Whether
it Is because of the war or for other
reasons, the new frocks for. children
are unusually plain end they lire the
forerunners' of. full style It is un
Jlkoly that anything vey different will
follow them for they are tastefully de
signed, School outfits may be got un
derway now with success assured since
an straws that show which way the
winds of fashion blow, point toward
simplicity of design as a dominant fea
ture of coming style
Furthermore, It Is the part of pa
triotism to make over and nse again
all woolen clothes. Dresses that can
not be remodeled for grown people will
serve In place of new goods for mak
ing children's frocks and .this' con
servation of woolen materials Is some
thing to be proud of. At the right of
the picture above there is a dark serge
frock for a girl of eight years or more
which has every requirement of a suc
cessful school dress and suggests a
model for a made-over dress. It hnB
a plain bodice and plaited skirt. It
ls: brightened with white braid and
has two very practical pockets, But
what will delight its woarcr mora am
Its soldierly 'touches in the shoulder
straps and narrow strap thnt extends
from the belt over the right shoulder
to the belt again. Any of the dark
colors in wool dress goods will look
welt made In this way.
The frock nt the left is successful in
either wool or cotton. It Is, pictured
mndo of plain chamhray with bandings
and collar of white pique. Its now
features appear In the band on one
sleeve In the management of the col
lar and In the slit pocket nt the right
side of the skirt. -.

eommnntion is made with a narrow
skirt and a sleeveless Jacket of the

and fills In the front in a sort of npron
effect, nnd this section Is bended In
brllllnnt colors,, a . fringe tof bends
