Girl's Box PIeated Dress.

Box pleated dresses in Russian style
suit young girls admirably well and
are essentially smart. This one is
quite novel, inasmuch as it includes
bretelles which are arranged under the
pleats and give the broad shoulder
line that is so marked feature Of the
season. The model is made Of army
blue serge trimmed with fancy braid
and is worn with a white collar and
blue tie. All materials in vogue for
girls dresses are, however, equally
appropriate.
The dress is made with backs and
fronts and is closed invisibly beneath
the box pleat at the left of the front.
The pleats are laid for its entire length
and the bretelles are attached to the
waist beneath the, edge of the outer

Our legs and our arms are the toilers
That bring us our case
They serve as we wish to direct them
And not as they please.
We proudly put burdens upon them,
Not asking their leave;
without them how could there be glory
For us to achieve?
They are the toilers that bring us
Contentment and pride;
The thrills which come after long hoping
The workers provide;
The pleasures we taste and the pleasures
OF body and brain
They patiently labor to give US
And what is their gain?
shall we foolishly add to their burdens
With never thought
ignoring their lot
How stupid were such unfair treatment
And where is there one
That would thus wrong the toilers whosy
service N
is faithfully done?
They that arise In the mornings
To weave and to hew,
70 pillow and to SOW and to hammer
The long seasons through
Are the legs and the arms that earn
pleasure
For those that have pride;
The thrills and the wealth and the splen-
dor

Then he went foraging
It was dusk when he espied the
parsons corn crib on the other side
OF the fence, filed with tempting cars
Of yellow corn. BY chance the dea-
con had an empty sack slung across
one shoulder. Peering around behind
and before him, he cautiously climbed
the fence and crept into the corn
crib.
In less than a second he was down
On his knees holding the sack open
with one hand and poking in the big
ears with the other as fast as he
could The deacon had his sack half
filed when the click OF gun near by
made him throw up his hand as il
his time had come. But he did not
lose his presence Of mind, for he be-
gan to pray in loud voice, as he
rolled his eyes heavenward

There was once shrewd promoter
who combined ten mills in trust.
Now, these ten mills did not make
cent.
And Why?
Because the wise promoter poured
SO much water in the stock that it
took all the receipts to pay the first
dividend that was to satisfy the doubts
Of the public. After he had disposed
of the stock he forgot about the mills
and attended to something more press
ing.
Thus we see that although once we
learned that 10 mills make ! cent, it
is possible, when they are properly
iuggled, for figures to lie.

WALKING in THE WOODS.

The autumn leaves are getting bright
With hues of brown and red
The forest is a wondrous blaze
OF color overhead.
And through the woods Myrtilla walks.

And eagerly collects the leaves
BY natures colors dyed
Al last she finds lovely one,
Unique among the rest,
And in her girlish way she cries.
"Oh l must have that pressedn'
But how? She looks at Colin.
A look that can be felt:
Then with smile she slips the lea,
In underneath her belt.
