GOOD REASON FOR STOPPING
But Of Something That Was
Quite as Important.

The old man was ar enthusiastic
fisherman. To him there was no sport
like sitting dangling bit of string at
the end OF a pole. He set off in pur-
suit of this hobby one afternoon, and,
just before reaching the river. met a
lad coming back. his fshingrod hang
ing Imply over his shoulder.
What's this, sonny?" exclaimed the
man. in good-natured reproof Surely
you are not giving up so soon? The
fishing will be better still in an hour
or two"
Il know" replied the lad, sorrow
fully, but I'm going home for all
that"
You're quickly tired" scoffed the
older angler. Next time you come
out, bring more patience with you"
"'Tain't that, mister" the lad an
swered. II brought plenty OF patience
but not enough bait"

A pretty new suit, in tan-colored
cloyh made for those whose needs an
ticipste the coming OF spring. is pre-
sented in the picture given here. II
accepts gracefully the decree OF fash
ion that skirts and coats are 10 con-
tinue full and il is not an easy matter
to be graceful in the face of this edict.
The skirt disposes of extra width by
using it in three deep plaits at each
side and keeIing the front and back
plain. The very narrow hem adds 10
length OF line, and the skirt. il will be
noticed, is cut longer than the very
short skirts of the passing season.
The coat is a modified Russian mod
ell and the adjustment to the figure by
means OF shirrings at the top about
the neck is unusually attractive. These
shirrings form a small round yoke
which may be deepened for a stout
figure by the addition of parallel rows
of stitching The collar is moderately
high and the standing frill at the TOP
solves the problem Of comfort for the
wearer.
The narrow velvet banding which
finishes the coat is a feature in trim
mings for the coming season. Its
plain, quiet lines commend it and II
gives also snappy color contrast on
coats that are too full to harmonic
with less dignified trimmings. The
belt is made of two narrow folds OF
the same material as the suit. fasten

ing under small composition buckles.
The buttons are square and like the
buckles in color. Loops made OF the
material serve instead OF buttonholes.
and the coat is fastened by means OF
a group OF four buttons at the neck
and three at the bust
The sleeves are plain TO a point half
way between the elbow and wrist,
where they are cut to fare. At tho
beginning of this faring portion three
short rows Of shirring gather in the
fullness TO the arm. A group OF four
buttons makes a smartly tailored fin.
ish for them.
This is one OF those pleasing mod
els which contrive to be plain with
out becoming severe. IL is worn with
shoes having uppers to match, and
with a soft tailored hat and short
street gloves.
