Very modish auto coats for dressy wear
are those made of the natural color pom
gee with trimmings in a dark color
matched by accessories in the same
shade.
Golden brown, that very popular shade
of the season, is the color note of the
accessories in this instance. The dress
worn beneath this coat is of golden
brown mohair made in jumper style and
worn with a lingerie waist of fine white
batisre The coat of pongee is three
quarters in length and hangs loose from
the shoulders, fastening in 'front.' single
breasted, with three fancy metal but
tons.
There is a triple cape piped with brown
taffeta and these are held In place over
the shoulders with a pleating of the
brown taffeta, which gives broad square
shoulder line. The back is treated in the
same manner as the front, the pointed
ends Of these strappings fastening down
with the large buttons
The shawl collar is inset with the brown
taffeta. and the very full sleeves with the
large mandarin armhole are gathered into
a very high double pointed cuff piped
with the brown and trimmed with but
tons. The hands are encased in brown
gloves, and the hat is a small affair
known as Collapsible Auto hat for the
reason that the wide back brim turns
down protectingly over the back of the
head, over which brown striped grena-
dine veil is draped.
This back brim when not turned down
folds up against the crown, simply
trimmed with a band of brown velvet and
a plain gilt buckle Golden brown glossee
kid shoes with matching hosiery and auto
goggles set in a easing of brown leather,
complete this very modish ensemble.

BAREFOOT TIME.

Oh, the things a little boy steps on,
When a-barefoot he would go;
And the jagged, ragged, rusty things,
Against which he stubs his toel
There were old rusty halls half hidden
Meath the springy, summer sod;
There were half-broken bottles lying
Upon which l always trod.
There were tin cans lying like a trap,
To catch the unwary fDot;
To say nothing Of the apple trees
Old, rotten, half-buried root.
But of all the things on which I've stepped
AS the barefoot seasons pass,
The worst is the s~teel-toothed garden rake,
AS 1t waits there in the grass.
Yet the joyful feels of springy turf,
On the very first warm day,
Makes you indifferent to such things,
AS o go your barefoot way.
And as long as boys live in this world,
Despite things which worry so,
When come the first warn days in spring,
All, a barefoot they will go.

A Gnme for You and L.

Friendship is a game of give and
take, and unless its rules are observed
the game is liable to come to a sudden
end.
When you are on the alert for trouble
you generally find it, and it is nearly
always followed by a certain amount
of loss to yourself.
If you want to retain the friendship
of anyone remember that you cannot
afford to take umbrage at every fam
cied slight.
Another thing, you should not, allow
yourself to become so absorbed In your
own injured feelings that you become
~forgetful of the feelings of Others. If
a friend of yours has power to hurt
you do not forget that it is in your
power to hurt him just as much in
return. y
More than one good friendship has
been severed by a few angry words,
followed by a sulky, stubborn silence.
OF course, it is very hard for some
people to admit that they r. in the
wrong, even when they are well aware
of it.
Their ''pride'-some would call it
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to let them.
Please do not let yourself become
like that. You will only ear a harvest
of regret. Better a little loss of dig
nifty now than the giving up of a
friendship which was at least sincere.
This does not mean that you should
be as putty in the hands of a friend.
Lei him know that you nave a mind
and a viii of your own, both of which
are to be respected. The friendship
that lasts is the one which is based
on the Golden Rule.
Another apropos quotation, mighty
good to follow, reads:
BE to his virtues ever kind,
And to his faults a little blind"

It's a curious thing how we will save
our polished n our best
behavior for the stranger, and compel
those to whom we are the most in
debted and to whom we owe the great
est amount Of consideration, to be sat

The majority of US put our best

a short answer or do anything to wound
their feelings. Oh, no! wv reserve that
sort of behavior for our own, for those
who have a right to expect the best we
have to give, but who seldom get 1t.
A friend of mine was telling me of
an exceedingly pretty girl known to
both of us, whom she met at a fash
ionable resort this summer She was
accompanied by her invalid mother, to
whom she was supposed to act in the
capacity of a nurse, but according to
my friend, the poor mother did not
receive as much of the daughters at
tention as was due her, or nearly as
much as some of the young men in the
neighborhood received.
Imagine a girl refusing to bring a
wrap for her sick mother when re-
quested to dose. And that is just what
this girl did. 81 won't go upstairs
again. she said. 1.-THE shawl you have
is heavy enough, and I'm too tired to
race upstairs again." she added, as h
hounced off to another end of h hotel
veranda to Join a party of young
people. TX
1t was not long before her voice was
heard in merry laughter, and in a little
while she was seen bestowing her pref
test smiles ON the young man, who
wal considered the lion Of the place.
Her friends call her "a charming
girl" and speak of her nature and dis
position as perfect" but I think the
girl who considers her own first, and
who makes an effort to please them,
rather than those who have no claim
on her whatever. is nearer to the type
known as Charming than the girl
who her good manners fol COM
pany.
