of the woods where we sat down on the
pretty green grass and sang some songs.
The songs we sang were ''Mary Had a
Little Lamb and Merry, Merry Christ
mas" Then broke ranks and someSwent

back and went to pick wild Strawberries.
We found as many as we liked then went
down to the pond and went in bathing
After that we had dinner, we knew it was

Didn't Show Here.

King & fuckers show which was
advertised to exhibit here Tuesday
did not do so. They came and put
up the tent and everything was in
readiness to begin at the appointed
hour, but they refused to pay the
State and county license tax demand
ed and there was no performance. 1t
would have been losing game with
them the management thought to
pay the tax and give a show. There
was a small crowd in town-not as
large as the average Saturday crowd
from the Countrywide election and
being busy on the farm probably
keeping the people away. The show

Of any that are worn This is because
they ara made absolutely plain. There
is not a scrap OF trimming on the short
gored skirt. which is finished with a
broad HEM nor upon the loose blouse
waist, which fastens bEndly at the
back. is finished at the neck with
medium high collar, and has long,
straight sleeves that come well over
the wrist. Such frock in dark brown
or green is immensely smart for autumn
and winter wear, and is exceedingly IN
expensive. Often there is a coat Of the
same material which almost covers the
frock, and like 1t, is made absolutely
plain. with not even a row of big, fancy
buttons to relieve its one-tone effect.
The School Coat.
This wrap is of such vast importance
that it deserves serious consideration. In
the first place, the school wrap at almost
any season of the year, but particularly
at autumn, would best be quite as long

or less dust is to be contended with, 1t
is most attractive and dainty fad. and
one that may be managed even In the
case of school frocks If suitable mate
rails and designs are selected. One OF
the popular materials for this purpose is
sort of poplinette containing wool and
a small proportion of cotton. 1t is said
to launder perfectly and to be almost as
warm some of the lightweight worst
eds, notably the tropical serges which
are now so much affected by college
girls. Another practical fabric is medium
weight serge. This should be thoroughly
shrunken before being made up. so that
when washed there will be no danger of
the frock's losing its shapeliness. There
are also certain cashmeres of the cheaper
sort which launder we'll and always look
soft and girish. All frocks of this class
should be made up with gOred skirts, as
pleats are most difficult to iron.

it is quite possible for her to wear the
daintiest OF white guimpes throughout
the winter. These are invariably of such
launderable materials as dotted swiss or
fine batiste, group tucked and entire deux'
with rows of hand feather stitching. the
narrowest of genuine valenciennes or
Cluny lace. For this purpose imitation
