Friends in Need
A charming incident, illustrative of the
good that sometimes turks in the human
breast, happened in the Service building
quite recently and might have passed un-
noticed by the recording angel but for the
keen eye of your reporter. The tired and
much worried head baker of the service
squad was toiling along toward his de-
partment laden with heavy basket full
of crisp cookies, the output of a day S
toll. Suddenly the poor, tired fellow
stumbled over an uncensored water drain
and fell Gee! how clumsyD. But he hit
with sickening crash, throwing the bas-
| ket so violently that cookies were scat
tered in all directions. Did the other fell
lows go cOldly on with their work, un-
mindful of the awful predicament of the
baker? Did they vouchsafe only hard,
unsympathetic stare? Not they! Their
great hearts were touched and they rallied
to his assistance. Some picked him up
and ''held him.; others busted them
selves recovering the vagrant cookies,
and when at last the baker resumed his
errand his face wore a happy smile, for
his heavy burden was, oh, so much
| lighter.

Defining the deeply rounded out
neck of its black satin bodice is an

turned over black cloth collar. This
collar overlaps the tops of sleeves

with lacings and tiny buttons cross

cascades merging with point touch

costumes designed for wear at the

Some Ideas that May Prevent

Duplicates.

n OPULAK girls, VINO serve often
as bridesmaids, are apt to ac-
quire an assortment OF dupli-
Gated gifts from the bride, who is too
busy and hurried to give the matter
much personal thought.
There are many things. however,
with q suggestion OF individuality,
that cannot fail to please and at the
same time run out slight risk of be-
ing duplicated. Any bridesmaid would
be delighted with a heavy solid gold
thimble, set with her birthstone, or
pair of gold scissors, set likewise,
would be welcome for the work bas-
ket OF any girl.
Satin Reticules Quaint.
A recent bride, who had pink we'd
ding, gave her eight maids large sized
pink leather jewel boxes, fooled with
sold and gold monograms. At we'd
ding scheduled for next month the
bride intends to give her maids quaint
white satin reticules, to match their
gowns OF lowered silk. These little
bags will contain tiny handkerchiefs
Of Venetian point. Another bride,
who is to have a country place we'd
ding, with picturesque appointments,
has ordered white silk parasols, show
ing a tiny pink flower design and
bordered with a quaint silk fringe.
The long handles are studded with
semi-precious stones and have pink
silk tassels.
Watch Fobs in Vogue.
A bride who realizes that watch
fobs for the tiny waistcoat pocket are
again in vogue might give her maids
fobs of platinum and enamel, choos-
ing from blue, green, rose and violet.
Nothing could be better suggestion
than a leather travelling case fitted
with toilet articles. From the bride
who does not have to consider price
this would make a gift to be used and
enjoyed. For girls who are known
to be horsewomen a pleasing depart
ure would be a silver-handled crop
and silver spur.
Handsome desk sets, pairs OF heavy
silver picture frames, or tiny clocks
of colored enamel would be sure to
please.
Individual BookpIates.
A clever girl, never known to DO
conventional things, has designed
bookplates for her six bridesmaids.
