FUR-TRIMMED GARMENTS IN

TN spite OF the horrors
of war and wartime,
the French designers re-
alize that they can do as
much for their country by
increasing her trade and
adding TO her already de-
pleting treasury by Great
ing modes, as they can
by fighting in the
trenches. And, as a re-
suit. we have a small but
real fashion show. Jenny,
Doeuillet and several
other well-known creators
of the fashions exhibited
the winter modes at their
Paris ateliens early in
the month OF August. The
predominating tendency
was towards Muscovlte

or less indicated last year.
This tendency has devel-
oped extraordinarily in
the last few months. and

He gives you golden advice upon methods of handling your mind he truly says that if we should put into learning how to manage our minds a small fraction of the time we put into learning how to sail a boat, we should all be practical philoso- phers. Frankly answer this question,
 Does >care, anxiety, fretting, fear, mar- tyrism, overinsistence bring you more unhappiness and inefficiency than they deserve?" You will answer '.Yes!'' When you look about you must admit that most of the unhappiness in the world except for actual material want, comes from the inability of men and women to retain a bird s-eye view of life.

Stories of Llnvd-George

From the Washington Star.
 Although David Lloyd George, the statesman. has achieved much fame and success since he left Criccieth,, the little town in Wales where he first practiced law, he would hardly lay claim to any such triumphant career as compatriot attributed to him.
 Shortly after the death of King Ed ward an Englishman travelling in Wales got into talk with an elderly Welsh man. The traveller happened to be Kings death.
 And who might be King now?" asked the Welshman.
 'Why, George is King now
 "George" exclaimed the old man. in surprise. 'fWell, he has got on, to be sure--and I remember him as a little lawyer in Criccieth."
 George does not forget his humble origin and remembers gratefully the humble friends of his youth The day he became chancellor of the exchequer he left the House of Commons with a friend of his boyhood, a man as poor and obscure as he had once been. They talked of his advancement.
 "In all my career said Lloyd George, 'T do not remember hand being held out to me from above, or a voice saying, Come up higher. Climb up here.'
 "But don't misunderstood me-" he added, with a smile, "there have been thousands of hands that have pushed me up from behind"

Dangers of the Motor Boat

From the St, LOUIS efNepuDIIC.
 The drowning of two men in mo- tor boat accident near Parnel and the narrow escape of two more men in the same accident will remind those fa- miliar with boating of how treacher- ous these attractive boats are. With a heavy engine, little freeboard and no watertight compartments, they pre- sent an assemblage of qualities which invite sudden death. With skfllful management and reasonably good luck they are safe. but, since they are man red by people of all classes, they ire uuently are not well handled and are often overloaded. When luck turns there is disaster, and the boat which should be buoyant in any position sinks like a wagon load of brick. The tricky canoe is a lifeboat in comparison with one of them when trouble comes, Nevertheless the fact that they are power boats and present an appear ance of strength and stability deceives the inexperienced intS supposiI- them to be safer than ordinary rowboats. There ought to be much stricter regulation of these craft with 8 view to securing greater buoyancy, and makers ought to be required to in- dicate on every one of them by some- thing in the nature of a Plimsoll line just what load they may be trusted to carry.

circumstances finds herself at the front. Here is a wealth of material for character plot and situation, and Rich ard Dehan makes full use of 1t in her dramatic story.
 In her latest contribution, Richard Dehan (Clothilde Graves) offers a col lection of English satires of which the title Is rather misleading, having noth- ing whatever to do with New York har- bor.
 The initial story. is perhaps the cleverst in the collection, telling the story of joke played, by a ships of ficer on a young newspaper man, with decidedly original touches.
 The others have to do with the opera, music halls and other interesting places, all of which give the brilliant author chance to display her wit and humor and her fine powers of de- scription.

"COLLEGE SONS AND FATHERS
 By Henry Seidel Canby. Harper Bros
 Publishers. New York.
 Prof. Henry Seidel Canby's essays upon he problems of college life and college Education have attracted deserved atten- ion. Here is man who handles in a lew way subject that tempts to gener- lity and platitude-such must have been he thought of many a reader of these Pithy and pointed articles. Professor Can- by writes with freshness, with earnest bess and with a saving sense of humor Not only is his analysis keen, but-what T perhaps more important-his heart is in he right place-in his work He has, too. bat sympathy with youth without which Q one should be allowed to write on col Ege problems at all In his College Sons md College Fathers just published, Pro- lessor Canby speaks with arresting vigor md frankness to undergraduates and to heir parents-more particularly to their parents. sIt was not,'' he tells us in his preface, 'sthe rage of the propa gand- sit, but rather the creative working of fappy memory and sobering experience eacting upon thought that led to the writing of this book;'' and it may be add fd that as natural consequence the book is both invariably sane and fre- uently amusing. l What really lies back of the difficulties hat harass the souls of teachers and cad to criticism of the college from with. but? That is the main question that Professor Canby proposes. In his ~at- empt to reply he shifts the emphasis rom the student, from the preparatory chool, from the theory of education. nd lays it upon the American home and he spirit of American life-not its "com- nercialism' but it's lack of real desire or education. "It is easy enough to full rinate from without against the low tandards of the college. Try to raise hem and you will find that America is n the other end of the lever Thus the leader. if he is ''college father" may ot improbably find, to his surprise hough not if he is just, to his indigna- ion, tEat the responsibility has been in Frge measure placed upon him.

Having a natural taste for trou- ble and a total ignorance of fear, and furthermore having himself fallen un- der the spell of Ruth's lovely but trou- bled face, Steve decides to break into the game and put things right How he does it is told in. a novel brimful of ex- citement, with enough gun play and adventure to suit anyone, and with a clean. wholesome vein of romance throughout.
