of ribbons, tears and lace,
Have clearly proved themselves to be

Do YOU suppose that any Man could
keep me half the night
In some beshadowed hammock where
mosquitoes tiereely bite ute, ,o,r ne
might prefer to stay,
Could press my hand so lightly could
never get away?
And where's the giant with the strength
to make me walk and walk
About the park and babble forth the
softest kind of talk
And buy ice cream and lemonade ana
popcorn bars and such
And then declare ! had enjoyed the
evening very much:
know a tender "clinging vine" who,
by her winsome smiles.
Has made me- lazy as | am walk sew
I've stood outdoors on winter nights
and waited for her when
I'd not have waited nan so long lot III
teen dozen men.
The women are the ones who rule this
planet first and last:
They bind us in their mystic chains ana
hold us good and fast.
But though we men are shackled slaves,
Wen never do a single thing to make
them set us free.

hangs better than the circular skirt

head.

There has been a pretty style of
shirtwaists this summer made with
yoke that ran down to the belt in one
with narrow center panel, and now
we are going to have this same de-
sign in the natty silk shirtwaist suits
A very clever designer has gone step
further and joined the lower edge
invisibly with the shaped girdle.
When the sun refuses to shine and
foods of trouble threaten, and the flu
ture appears so dark and so forbidding,
how like an angel does any mortal be-
come who will feel for the sufferer ami
tell him SO. Never is Christian more
