CoGsting Song,

The moon shines bright on the meadows
white,
The night is clear and still.
And the crystals glow on the crusted snow.
Then hey for the Coasting Hill.
We will sally out with a merry shout
And tug with a right good will
AT the long sled rope up the slippery slope
To the brow OF Coasting Hill.
Then a spring and a start. and away we
dart,
With laugh and a whoop. until
The echoes ring and the white owls sing
From the woods of Coasting Hill
oh. isn't it fine in the bright moonshine
To fly with a breathess thrill
So fast and far. like shooting star,
Down the glorious COasting Hill.
They may sit by the fire who so desire,
They may ride in state who will.
But give us a slide down the sparkling side
OF the jolly Coasting Hill.

the impression of civilization Of a very

People lived in developed social or

Long Shoulder.

A conspicuous feature of the new
frOcks is the length and the Importance
given to shoulders Shoulder seams
are long. and al ornamentation in the
way of yckes or elongated collars is car
red well over the arm. As | have said
before. all sleeves begin small and grow
larger toward the bottom, Il fact which
further increases the Importance of the
long shoulder.
The round collar. or the Louis XIII
collar. as it was first called, has by its
popularity intensified the liking for long
shoulders. There is also a tendency to-
ward the modes of the early Victorian
period. when shoulder seams went well
over the arms. Berthas, which are
fashionable, give the same drooping ef-
feet; and, in fact, when one puts aside
the shrtwaiSt and the conventional tail
or-made costume there is little left that
does not give this same long. dropping
appearance. 1t is more than possible
