SMART GARMENTS FOR EQUESTRIENNES
Daily Fashion Talk.

For the equestrienne I have picked
out two models which should appeal TO
the smart woman. No. ! is for the girl
who persists in the "side-sa ddle habit"
and for such not a natter riding cos
tune could be chosen. Note the drop
of the coat toward the front and the
dashiugly attractive biz patch pockets.
Evolved in any of the shower and
spotproof woolens which always find q
place i'm the stock of those who cater
TO the men, habit patterned after this
style will prove durable as well as
suitable and attractive.
No. . gives a number Of good sugges-
tiOns to the woman who rides IRA
tional." The long, full-skirted coat IS
admirably supplemented by the riding
boots. Both models are provided with
comfortable. well-htted trouserettes.

THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF
CHILDHOOD

The state promptly intervenes
when plague strikes any section of
the land, though plaques usually die
out with the coming of the winter
months. Little, is then said in de-
tense of state rights, for national
health and security are at stake.
Child-labor is plague that smites
its immediate victims and strikes at
the heart of the whole nation twelve
months in the year. 1t is a problem
of the nation and by the nation, a
problem to be met with courage and
wisdom and provision.
Democracy and religion must unite
for the protection Of the child. In
"a monarchy men are subject to the
kings will. In democracy the child
is the object of the governments con-
Germ. The church Of yesterday per-
sists in childish rites; the church of
tomorrow will insist upon the rights
of the child. This is the children's
hour-between the dark and the day
light-the darkness of children's
wrongs that is passing, and the day.
light of childrens rights that is dawn
