wards the numbers painted in some
contrasting color above each hole.
Then the small bags made of linen
or any other material are tackled on
behind each hole, and this may be
seen in the small sketch on the right
which also illustrates the support that
must be fastened on the back.
This game is played with rubber
balls, the competitors standing at an
agreed-on distance from the board
and in turn throwing. When a ball
enters hole and stays there, the
player scores the number that is
above the hole, and if the game is
fixed at, say twenty points, the first
player who reaches that number wins.
To add to the fun of the game small
prizes for successful competitors can
be easily arranged.

STREETS GIVEN TO CHILDREN
Certain Thoroughfares In New York
City Closed to Traffic to Per-
NIT Youngsters to Play.

New York city is trying the expert
ment of closing certain highways to
traffic daily and letting the youngsters
romp in them. Huge signs are placed
across these thoroughfares reading:
Street closed for play"
Miss Ruth Robinson, chief play or
ganizer, says: "It brings an ache to
the heart to see how reluctant some
of the babies are to cut loose and play
in the open street Play seems mex
tricably associated in their little
minds with guilt No one, after watch
ing for an hour or two the healthy
spirit that grows among the children
in these allotted play streets can
doubt their benefit to the little people
of New York
Play is the best constructive factor
in child growth. Even kittens and
puppies will not thrive unless per-
mitted to play. Play is the most skill
full of physical trainers and moral
teachers.-Child Betterment Bulletin.

GIVE EMPLOYER YOUR BEST
No Man Can Serve Himself Well So
Long as He Is Dissatisfied
acknowledge Is Power"

AS long as you work for a man, give
him your best If the conditions sur
rounding your position are unpleasant,
keep on the watch for another job. If
you have definite idea of the char
acter of the work you like best, it
would be good idea to advertise
for it. But remember, we should first
serve an apprenticeship before we
may expect to take the reins in our
own hands. No man can serve him
self well, or his employer, so long as
he is dissatisfied.
Don't work for man to whom you
cannot give your best; nor should you
work for man you can't respect. If
your wages are not enough to allow
you to live decently, search around
for some other line of endeavor. AL
ways be ready for promotion-this
means you should learn your business
root and branch. Read good books;
as you read, study-think-tho
are real live things. Fix good solid
business ideas in your mind and
something good will come to you.
Let this be your slogan: knowledge
is power" 1t is within your province
to gain the necessary knowledge to
put you at the head of a great institu-
tion.-Aims and Aspirations.

Covert cloths, shepherd s-checked
and striped suitings seem to be divid-
ing honOrs in tailored suits for spring.
1t is hard to say which is most IA
vored. All Of them are developed in
many smartly cut and perfectly tail
ored plain suits that are far and away
the most elegant of all street dresses.
Some of the new models are what
may be called severely plain, allowing
themselves only machine stitching
and buttons by way of garniture and
finishing touches. Buttons this sea-
son are made of the fabric of the gar
ment in many elegant suits, but in
unusual shapes. In an equal number
of designs they are selected from the
various composition, bone or pearl de-
signs. But severe lines and finishing
do not characterize all the new spring
tailor-mades.
The coat-suit shown in the picture
belongs to the plain well-tailored class
that should be found in every woman's
wardrobe. 1t is just right for the busi-
ness woman, the traveller, or for street
wear where one finds need for only
one new tailored costume.
The Winslow mail., 1915-04-17

A couture which is beautiful from
any point of view is not met with ev-
cry day. Here is one which is exquis-
ite from whatever side you look upon
it. 1t convinces one that there is
nothing quite so pretty as curls, and
should prove that the classic lines,
which it follows closely, have never
been improved upon.
The hair for this coiffure is waved
and parted at the left side. The short
hair about the forehead and temples
is curled into very short ringlets. The
back hair is brought to the top of the
crown and coiled in loose soft coil.
The waved front hair is brought back
to the coil and pinned to it, leavt e
the ends free. These ends are sepa-
rated into strands and curled in short
tight curls. They are pinned close
60 the head about the coil. Finally
The Winslow mail., 1915-04-17

The skirt is cut with wide over
Tapped side seams forming a sloping
panel down the front. 1t is cut with a
sufficient flare and is ankle-length. In
many of these skirts the waist line is
high, and suspender tops and pockets
at the sides give them an air of util-
ity that is very snappy and smart.
The coat in this suit follows the
lines of the figure rather more close
ly than is the rule in spring styles.
1t has a panel back and plain coat
sleeves finished with band and two
buttons at the wrist At each side of
the front an applied strap, pointed at
the end and decorated with a button
and simulated buttonhole, suggests a
belt.
The suit is worn with a soft silk
waist having a square turnover collar
at the back. This has a 'V''-shaped
opening at the front showing dainty
collar and vestee of lace or net worn
under it. Cloth-top shoes and a pretty
hemp hat with trimming of ribbon and
cherries complete spring costume
that merits no criticism.
The Winslow mail., 1915-04-17

a narrow band of silk or velvet rib
bon is fastened about the head to sup
port the waved hair and keep the ring
lets about the face in place.
But ones hair must be naturally
curly in order to make successfully
the short ringlets about the coil Also
there must be no end of time to give
to hairdressing. When neither of
these requisites is present, pinned-in
curls are to be used They save time
and stay in curl better than the natur-
al hair. They may be bought in any
length needed and are always ready.
Even one who cherishes a prejudice
against acquired hair will forgive it's
use when it is impossible to detect it
and when coiffure is as adorably
pretty as that one described and pic
tured here.

SIR WILLIAM VAN HORNE HERE.
Looks for Improvement In Canada's
Railroad Business.

Sir william Van Horne. chairman )t
the board Of directors of the Canadian
Pacific Railway. who is in New York
looks for an Improvement in railroad
business in Canada from this time for
ward. despite the low ebb OF business
conditions since the war.
we anticipate steady and marked
improvement in traffic during the next
few months" he said yesterday. 'Prac-
tically all OF the Canadian Pacific steam
ships both on the Pacific and the Atlantic
have been taken over by the British Gov
eminent for war purposes. and this fact
together with the big restriction of land
transportation, has caused marked de-
crease in our earnings. immigration and
land settlement is practically at a stand
still"
The granting OF increased rates by the
Interstate Commerce Commission here, IN
the opinion OF Sir William. will be a great
boon to the American railroads.
