School days are coming on. Dress
styles for school girls are very simple
and certainly not hard to make. The
school outfit to be very practical
and to the best advantage, should con-
sist of plenty of cotton frocks and
some woolen ones Tor cold days.
The familiar chambray and ging-
ham, and also cotton poplin and rep
which have served for children's school
frocks generations upon generations
have not been supplanted by any 9TH
er material for the cotton tub frock
this year. These little dresses may
be made very smart by the use of
simple embroideries in heavy cotton
or in wool. Simple little one-piece
frocks, cut with body and sleeves in
one, have the edges of the neck and
sleeves finished with narrow
crocheted edge of wool or plain seal
lop. The rope-stitch is another of
those effective embroideries which
work up so quickly that it is just a
joy to trim little frocks with them.
Cross-stitch and little embroidered
motifs in. outline-stitch for trimming
collars, cuffs and yokes, and some
times belts, smarter the simple school
frocks and make them much more at
tractive to the children who wear
them. Very often little frocks are
trimmed only with binding of con-
trasting color. Nothing is easier to
accomplish than this, and it is good
way of using up those small pieces
of cloth which have remained over
from other dresses.
This fall there is something new in
styles for both girls and boys, and
this is the military element which is
frequently used.
There, there, Hubby! Dame Fash
ion says that clothes are to cost less.
For example-gowns la Militaire,
coats and suits trimmed in seal, none
of which exceeded $35, were shown
last week at the annual style show of
the Chicago Garment Manufacturers
Association. 1t leaves the impression
that clothes are to be less expensive
this fall and winter.

NEXT?

When railroad in the Middle West
put women to work in their shops and
yards all other roads throughout the
country sat up and took notice in the
experiment. The women made good

great army of their sisters who are

nearly every position on the railroad

They are doing everything but driv-

 ''The rivalry among the young men of the place was very strong, and all of them put their wits to the test in an effort to 'astonish the natives by the oddity of their conveyances. In a contest of this kind the callers usually went in groups of threes and fourS, but one young man announced that he had decided to flock by himself.'
 "We knew by this that he had sur prise in store for the community-and so he had. About Il o'clock he appear ed in the main residence street of the village seated in big, old fashioned rocking chair drawn by the only don key of which the town could boast.
 "As the sleighing was ideal he had no difficulty in making his way over the hard packed snow.
 "The town never had such a laugh before or since that time. A band of yelling and hooting youngsters follow ed in his train, and the tumult inspir- ed the donkey to put forth his most tremendous vocal efforts"

Goodby, Old Year!

We laughed with you. we chaffed with
 you, The glass of fun we quaffed with you While sitting side by side.
 You made life bright,
 Put out of sight The griefs we had to hide. We danced with you, we pranced with
 you, While others less entranced with you Just slowly plodded on.
 You lent hand
 At all we planned. We miss you now you're gone. We dined with you, we pined with you, And many, too, oft wined with you. Old Year, who went so fast.
 You were friend
 Clear to the end Your joys and woes are past We sighed with you, we cried with you, And some they almost died with you. Iris hard to say goodby!
 Your heart was warm
 Through sun and storm. We grieve that you should die. -

Roman New Year Like
 Our Own

THE Romans dedicated the first day
 of the years first month and the
 whole ensuing month to the god Janus. from whom it derives it's name of January and whom they represent ed as a man with two faces, one look ing backward, the other forward. inn plying that he stood between the old and the new year with regard to both. Throughout January they offer ed sacrifices to Janus upon twelve al- tars, and on the first day of that month were careful to so regulate their con- duct that their every word and act ' should be happy augury for all the ensuing days of the year.
 Ovid and other Latin writers of that age allude to the suspension of all liti- gation and strife, the reconciliation of differences between friends, the smok- ing altars and the white robed process siOns to the capitol upon the first day of Janus or New Years day, as we now call it. They also tell of the ex- changing of visits. the giving and re- ceiving of presents or ''Strenae," the masquerading and the feasting with which in their time the day was cele- brated throughout the Roman empire. The modern gentleman who puts on his swallow tailed coat and his white necktie today and sallies forth to visit his lady friends will be surprised to learn that the Roman dandy, arrayed in new shirt and toga. went out upon precisely the same errand more than 2,OO0 years ago.
 From the very birth of Christianity the participation by Christians in the festival observance of New Years day was vigorously opposed until, about the fifth century. the 25th of December had gradually become a fixed festival commemorative of our Lord s nativity whereupon the 1st of January also as- sumed specially sacred character as the octave of Christmas day. AS such it still holds a place in the calendars of the various branches of the eastern and western church, but only as a feast of subordinate importance.
