ONE SIGHT He HAD MISSED
American Traveller in Rome Particu-
IarIy Anxious to View Corral
Where "BuIIs" Were Kept.

A traveller tells this story of an
American fellow wanderer in Rome:
The American, who had come from
the plains of the West, visited the Vat
lean, and was shown over the papal
palace. He asked many questions and
desired to see everything.
After the customary sights had been
shown, the priest who attended him
asked:
"Is there anything else, Signor Amer
icanO, that you would like to see|
"There is one thing" replied the
American, that 1 want to see more
than anything else, and l haint been
on the edge of it yet"
"What is that, signorY

nothing of the sort, signOr."

jersey and camel's hair cloth, are
most satisfactory. The sweater goes
without saying as the most important
feature in the sports outfit, and some of
the smarteSt ones have wide belts,
while practically all Of them have
pockets. Matched sets include
sweater, cap, and scarf to match, or
sets of hat, scarf and bag, or cap, scarf
and muff. The convertible scarf is
something new, in long scarf which
may be made into scarf and cap in one.
All sorts of sets are trimmed with
heavy yarns and worsteds in contrast
ing cOlOrS.
Eiderdown is familiar material
that serves the purpose for making in
expensive sets. In white trimmed with
white yarn it makes a cap, scarf and
bag for the skates, of much distinction.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1916-12-21

The heavy yarn is used for overcasting
seams and edges and for tassels which
finish the scarf ends and decorate the
cap and bag.
These yarns are used in the same
way on hats and bags of silk for
sports wear. One of the handsomest
novelties is a set of hat and bag of
blue silk lined with gold. Blue and
gold yarn overcasts all the seams in
the bag and in the crown of the hat.
The tassels, of the same yarns, are
fastened to the top of the hat and the
bottom of the bag with snap fasteners,
and may be removed so that the set
may be worn either side out. Mustard
colored fabrics look particularly well

Interesting Record.

The cornerstone laying had been
brilliant success. The weather was
fine, the speeches eloquent, the music
impressive. The master of ceremonies
was very well satisfied with himself,
yet with the dispersal of the crowd he
became strangely excited. Hurriedly
he sought the master mason.
"Is it possible to lift the cornerstone
again?" he asked.
II am afraid not, sir" said the
mason. "Have you a particular reason
for asking?"
81 have" said the master Of the
ceremonies. "I've left my hat in the
receptacle along with the records"

There are plenty of practical sports
clothes for those who really take part
in winter pastimes, and there are just
as many sports clothes de luxe for
those who dress with an eye to placing
themselves in harmony with their en-
vironment. These are made to be
looked at and are marvels of adapta-
ton of exquisite materials to sports
styles.
A skating suit, shown in the picture,
is made for real service. 1t is MILDLY
blouse of a special knitted material
in Scotch colorings, trimmed with a
plain knitted material. The plain
trimming matches the predominating
color in the MILDLY, and the skirt is
made of the same plain cloth.
For real utility sports clothes, soft,
lightweight but warm materials, like

Good Christmas Motto.

Peace on earth, and good
will to men," is the Christmas
motto, and the Christmas spirit
should ring in our hearts and
find kindly expression in acts
and words. What a joyful thing
for the world it would be if the
Christmas spirit of peace and
good will could abide with us
all every day of the year. And
what a beautiful place this
world would be to live in. And
it might be so if each one of us
would resolve in our hearts that
peace and good will should be
our motto every day, and that
we, individually, would do our
best to make the Christmas
spirit last all the year round.

Practical Sports Clothes Have Been Designed by the Leading Paris

Bridesmaids Hats That Have the Sanction OF
Recognized Leaders of Fashion

with tassels of vari-colored worsteds
Any month in the year is the best
of months for a wedding-if the bride
chooses it. An Indian summer setting,
or a snowclad little world as a back
ground, may seem a happier choice
than June when all the details of the
great event show reckoning with
the season.
In the three hats shown in the illus
tration prevailing styles in picturesque
millinery give the bride a choice for
herself or for her maids, that cannot
go wrong. Each one of them repre-
sents a type recognized as appropriate
in any season. The largest hat, with
wide, graceful brim, is of light gray
velvet faced with pale rose satin. The
ever-present metallic touch appears in
the lacing of silver cord across the

crown and in a heavier cord of silver
on the brim. Large, full-blown metal
lie roses, in pale rose color, harmo
nize beautifully with the gray velvet
and silver cord, for they have a sheen
of silver over their color. If the best
man, or some other good fellow, is
not made captive by those rose-adOrn
ed ropes of silver he is hardened ant
hopeless bachelor.

with tiny gay-colored silk flowers, sci

EVENING Coats Like Capes.

All evening coats have the swing of
full cape in their ampleness. One of
deep violet velvet has high collar of
gray fur, which comes up to the ears,
then rolls back to the shoulders in cape
form, dropping a bit in the back. The
sleeves sre large and have bands of
gray fur so deep as to be veritable
muffs. The wrap is ankle length, with
a four-inch band of the gray fur about
the hem.

Christians RIGHT Is Happiness

we may always be sure, whatever we

RenevoIence VS.. Extravaoance.
