THE PRINTED
BORDER RETURNS
By MIMA I.OII l'KTTA
'T'llKKIO Is a curious IhlriK about
fashion. 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.

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. Nohn had
planned to meet 1 hem in a year,
lie started for the mooting place

t hey jumped and hound Nohn.
After that, they look the bed and
stftrhd uff for the castle. 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

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

took il from me." said Nohn.
"Then i hey shall' go to prison. '
"Wait." said Nohn. "Klrst try to

the king, "but I tried it before."
So he king lay down and right
away fell asleep.
"Why." said the brothers, "wbv

After that Nohn set his brotbei -free.

Service
t 4. .t.
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. K. S.
