It, like history, keeps repeating Itself, yet never, like his tory, should It repeat loo exactly or too frequently. ' "Style cycles" tho stylists anil fashion critics call theso repltl tlous aotlvltlous of the fashion world. Of course, in a cycle as in a circle, you're bound to come around to the spot from whence you started. Pictured today is the return of a cerlaln point on 'the dtyle cycle which we called, when we saw It last, "ihe bordered print". If you saw n In a very small store you nnglil think It an old Idea. So It Isl An obi idea grown new. The famous house of Paul Poiret brings out tiiis old-new Idea 111 the form of n very smart frock made of a sofl. washable rayon and silk crepe ib chine. The mixture of textiles obviates the necessity for "tin weighting" Ihe crepe nnd therefore makes it much more washable, in fact quite adaptable to the some times none loo loving care of a hurried laundress. Country Life Hy Robert Ingrixdl In a. new count ry a man must possess al least threo virtues honesty, cotiraue and eenerostty. In cultivated society, cultivation is oil en more- important than soil. A well executed counter feit passes more rcudlly than ;i blurred entiine. In a new country, character Is essential: In Ihe old. reputation is sufficient. In tho new, they Titd what a man really Is; in the obi, he eenerally pahsen for what he resembles. People sepa rated only by distance, are much nearer together than those," dl-1 hb-d by Ihe walls of caste. It i no advantaee tu live In u ere.it city, where poverty degrade:; and failure brine despair. The fields are lovelier than paved street s, and K re a I forests t ha n , waIN of brick. Oaks and elms aie more pm-tic. than steeples and chimneys. In the count ry is the idea of home. There you see the risine and set tine sun; you become ac quainted with tho stars and clouds; the constellations are your friends; yon bear I he ra In mi tho roof, and listen to tho rhylh mi s ehlne of the winds. You are thrllbMl by Hie remir roetiou ealbd Hprine, touched and maddened by autumn I ho ei'ac; and poetry of death.

Robert Ineersoll included tliU note wo it hy comment, on country life in one of his memorable trib utes to Abraham Lincoln.

F. 0. li. Children's Pleasure Column The Maeical Hcil In a small country across the ocean, there lived a family, a mother and father and three chil dren. They were brothern, the oldest was Jack, then came Hob and the youngest was Nnlin. There was, one funny thine about the house they lived In; it was a bod, and it had very funny fieuros on it. The youngest slept on it every niehi. When his mother put him to bod, before she had time to kiss him eood nieht. he fell asleep. The mother became very curious about it. At last she said lo Nohn, wonder whether you will let me sleep in your bed loiiieht V" "Of course you may." said Nohn. The next nieht. before she lay dow n, she put her hands on the lied. Sure enough her hands went rieht to sleep. The next nioruine she came down lo breakfast and wild to tho family. "We are rich!" "What!" said all of them. "What do you iiiioan? Why, said tho moliier, I "we have a maeical bed." . I The next day the father and 'mother said to the older boys. "We think you had better start off and trv and sell the bed; then we will be rich." The youne'r boy said. 'Oh, can't 1 go'.'" "No," they said, "w c need you." Sit the older boys si art ed off; they were lo po to the king of the country, for ho could not sleep. If any one could make him sleep they would have half of the king dom, and also marry his daughter, who was very beautiful. They had not gone very tar, when they came to an inn. There they stopped for a night, then started to drlu It and soon forgot where they were to go. After wandering around for about a year, their family became very anxious. My. you must wonder how they could carry the bed around, but il was a folding bed. Well, after a year the youngest boy said to his father and mother,' "I niUNt eo and find my brothers." Al last his father and mother con sented. After traveling for a month whom should ho .see but his two brothers, being carried to prison. He ran lo them and said, "What have t hose men done '!" "Why," said the police, "they will not pay t heir debts at the inn." "I low much njoney did they owe the innkeeper'.'" asked Nohn. "Korty-lwo shillings.'' "Here is the money." mi id Nohn. So his brothers were set free. "Thank you," said the brothers. "Hut." said Nohn, "where Is the lied'.' I'he bed!" said they. "O we (hm i know." "You don't know! We must start out to find it. You two go that way and I will go this way." So they set of f.l After traveling for about a year he found Ihe bed.

Not long aflerw art! a peasant came along and unbound Nohn. The brothers came to the castle. The king said. "How can you make me go to sleep '.'" " hy," said the brothers, "all you have to do is lie down on the bed and you will eo tu sleep." That night ho lay down, but he did not sleep. .lust then Nohn came In the room. "Why. brothers.' why did you take my bed'.'V" "What," said tho king, "is this your bed V" "Yes," said Nohn. "Then how did thev get it ."' asked Ihe king. "Thev took il from me." said Nohn. "Then i hey shall' go to prison. ' "Wait." said Nohn. "Klrst try to sleep on this." "All right." said the king, "but I tried it before." So he king lay down and right away fell asleep. "Why." said the brothers, "wbv didn't it do that for us'.'" "Re cause," said Nohn, "it was imt yours." After that Nohn set his brotbei -free. Then ho married t be pun -cess.

Service is love, kindness and charity in action, and the beau ty of service is in Ihe spirit and prompts it. Our plain duty is to make our little corner better and brighter by the way we be lleo in it, and to see that out of it the greatest good may flow ty the greatest number. True service lies in lessening the troubles or increasing the happiness of others, and we enjoy ourselves most when doing this. We have been told we should bear one another's burdens and we must not wait to do big things. The one who Is capa ble of great service, wheen needed, is the one who has always been doing little things well. Kind words and deeds, even a smile given to those whoso heart is heavy, may be reckoned among the highest forms of service, and hurely these are ours to give without stint. One of tho beautiful compensations of life Is that no one can sincerely try to help anotloM without uplifting or bettering him self. In Just this way do we glimpse the higher vision, and learn to count no blessing truly ours until It has. through us. blessed someone else. l,et us be propmt and glad in service, however sinatl It may seem, and whether rendered to a frind or the stranger within our gates. Somebody has said; "I expect to pass this way but mice; so if there is any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to anyone, let me do It now." Let us all take this to heart, and make il a rule to be able lo nay. as we go to our rest at night. "I have made one person a little happier or a little bettor this day." Let us resolve to do our duty In shop, kitchen, office, school or home just ns faithfully as if we stood in the front rank of battle ami knew that victory for mankind depended on us, for so will tho humblest of us bo esrvlng in that great army that achieves tho welfare of the world.
