Economical Goats.

Truly fashion is kind this season to
ordinary mortals with average purses!
For instance, have you noticed the
cute little coats that are a part Of
some of the new tailored suits? If so,
you will see the short-waisted effect
under~the arms. Now what is moro
easy than to take last years box or
pony wraps, shape them under the
arms by taking out pieces there from
short-waist depth to armhole seam and
getting the same result?
The coat must be cut across two
inches above the natural waist line
and the skirt fulled to meet the re-
duced body part. The strips cut away
should be hemmed with black and
then put on to conceal the seam.

Of you. This will not be hard, as
they already feel they are-that is,
if they are good Americans. If they
are Chinese they are becomingly
humble and think that the sun rises
and sets in you and your husband.
But it is safe to say that your chill
dren are not Chinese. They want
to move on higher social plane
than you moved, and on a much high
er plane than their father moves.
And when they have reached what
they have striven for, just use them
to pull you and your husband up and
the end of your family will be some
