Johnny left the breaker when he was
fourteen and was promoted to the
place of doorkeeper in the mine.
Somehow, l forgot to state that all
of this was forty years ago.
Forty years make a great change
in any one who lives upon the earth
but it makes a greater change in
the miner than in most other men.
Fifty-four is not so very old, so at
least most of us think who cling
tenaciously to the fiftieS, and still
more those who watch anXiOusly
while the sixties are checked off.
But, at fifty-four, the man who has
money and can have leisure still feels
that he is young. He can eat and
drink: can laugh, and dance and play;
he can marry and travel and write;
in fact, can still chase all the phan-
tastes and bubbles that make us for
get the waiting, open grave.
Forty years entirely transformed
Johnny. Even his name was chang
ed; he was now Johnj generally I'm
Gle John. He had been a door boy,
a driver, a helper, a miner, and he
had now come up out of the earth to
spend his last few years above the
ground. His face was SCARED and
one ear was missing. This came not
from war, but from powder all the
same. A belated fuse exploded when
he thought it had gone out. But still

His strength was almost gone. Some

ers, and the mules, and machinery,
had changed from time to time, but
the breaker, the black ''culm" pile,
and the company houses still re-
manned.
In forty years, John had buried his
mother, had married, raised a family
and travelled back and forth along
the short path from his hut to the
open mouth of the mine day after
day, and that was all. AS the years
passed, his one ambition had been to
go back to Ireland, even for a short
time, as his fathers had been to come
to the United States, but this ambi
ton he had buried in the mines long
years ago. He had left the valley
once in forty years. He had gone to
Philadelphia. to the Centennial, and
his ticket cost him $40 This was
a quarter of a century ago, but he
remembered the exact amount that
he gave in exchange for the little
pasteboard at the station window.
John really had earned the right
to rest, but then, he and his family
must live-at least he thought they
must, and so they must, else the rich
mans coal could never get dug up!
The mine boss was really not unkind,
so when John told him he could not
go down the shaft again, the boss
promised him an easier job. The boss

gins at about years. For a number
OF years these coats were mostly
fashioned in the regulation REFER
style, but as fashion is so fond of
belts this season, they are in a three
quarter length that reaches to just
about the edge of the dresses.
Of course, tweed and cheviot coats
especially in the new full length
Norfolk style-are also liked by these
little girls and their sisters up to II
years. After that age girls begin to
feel grown up and want a still diff
ferent kind of coat, but their desire
is seldom granted by the wise mother
who realizes the Importance of keep
ing her little daughters quite girlish
until they are advanced in their
teens.
All of these quite young girls should
have dress coats Of velveteen, rightly
but simply braided or trimmed with
fur, or fine lace collar. Broadcloth
coats in any of the pastel shades are
also considered good style when
trimmed with fur-for instance, april
cot in light blue broadcloth with COL
lar and cuffs of beaver

more, can start to journey from the

cloth in navy, taupe, brown or black,
with collar and cuffs of velvet or

CORRECT COATS

BY EDNA EGAN.

= ASHTON never disturbs the girl
baby's coat, as she knows that
no kind is prettier than the sim
ply fashioned coat of fine white cash
mere or-silk that is daintily hand
embroidered-this the first long coat
and the short one that is worn until
her ladyship is about year-old.
Then, if she is to be a little snow
white baby (and she should be-, a
white corduroy coat IS quite the most
sensible, as it can be laundered SO
beautifully-andi it will dry over night
If you should not have a number
of coats for changes.
You can get these coats either lined
or unlined, but the latter kind is more
practical for laundering-and baby
can be kept snug and warm by a sepa-
rate quilted lining of white cotton or
silks. For severe weather a sheared
white coney coat is delightful and is
particularly attractive when trimmed
with ermine tails, for they make it
look quite like genuine ermine-
When her ladyship reaches her sec
ond year it is perfectly proper for her
to wear a coat of corduroy, velveteen
or broadcloth in black, brown, blue or
any color suitable for little tots. This
is a fortunate custom, as little Miss
America is strenuous young creature
who generally delights in sitting down
on the pavement or rolling on the
grass at the inopportune time. These
colored coats are generally fashioned
in plain, box style, with wide belt.
This season it has been decided that
a little girl of or more might wear
a belted coat of fine tweed when she
is at play.
Dressy coats for such youngsters
are of black or navy velvet, white or
a light color broadcloth, simply trim
med with braid, moufflon or fur. A
moleskin collar and cuffs on white
hroadcloth coat are charming

an evening wrap is also essential. One
draped styles is thoroughly appropri-
ate for the young miss of 16 or more,
if it is of a conservative color velvet,
silk or plush. AS the other draped
coats of the season are too elaborate,
the only other style that is considered
in good taste is the rather plain coat
of charmeuse, velvet or plush with
large moufflon or fur collar-I think
moufflon is preferable. as it is more
girlish.
Fur coats are the proud possessions
of many girls of all ages, even though
they are frequently unhealthy. For
severe weather it is all right for wee
girls to wear coney, ermine or equir-
rel coats, as they are warm and yet
not of burdensome weight.
But l think it ridiculous for girls
in their teens to wear ponyskin. Hud-
son seal and such coats, as they will
add years to their appearance and
keep them too tender. Squirrel and
surely more healthy.
Tweed coats with collars and cuffs
or natural raccoon, black fox or civet
cat are the nearest approach to fur
coats that some girls are wise enough
to consider.

evening dresses for young girls In
their teens that I CHANGED to see the

crystal beads, and garlands of hand
embroidered and exQuisite1y made
ribbon flowers gave the effect of a
border. Sprays of the flowers were
strewn over the bodice, whose rather
low rounded neck was simply finished
with a picot edge.
Accordian plated chiffon dresses
are very pretty if they are absolutely
plain-for instance. a straight plated
skirt finished with a deep hem that is
not apparent after it has been plated,
and baby bodice of the plated cfif-
fon, with narrow silk-edged ruffle
plating of Brussels net around the
slightly low neck and elbow sleeves.
