Skirt Draped m Barrel Effect.

Ine barrel effect has earned a ner manent place in the ranks of fashion. pelng especially adapted to the need or women who like draped effects for SOIL materials. Here is a two-pieea model, with inserted side gore. The skirt Is made with high waiatiine and closes on the left side, plaits trim the front and back gores, the inserted side gore being gathered.
 To reproduce the skirt, in n,ad;,,,,, size requires 45syards se.inch ,no+a rial. The cutting, with which todav,. lesson especially treats, requires but little time and is very simple. Of course, success cannot be guarantaed unless the home dressmaker fsr.+ consults the cutting guide.
 The side gore is placed into nost. tioa first, as illustrated, the pat tern so resting on the material thss the line of large 70" perforations ia on a lengthwise thread To the right of the side gore, place the back gore! then follow with the front. both oA these resting on lengthwise fold od the goods. The piecing for the back gore, as well as that for the front gore, easily may be accommodated in the remaining space, both sections being laid on the material as indit cated in the cutting guide.
 The narrow skirt movement is pro, gressing rapidly and the indications are that the tonneau silhouette wifi be generally worn throughout tn, spring and summer.

In the Camp Fire movement an ''honor' is the privilege of wearing certain decorations as rewards for def- mite accomplishments.

 TODAY'S POEM
TO GREET THEE, SPRING!

Take us with thee, O glad and win some maiden, And let us go,- Thou hast somewhere a cool and shady dwelling, Where ferns uncurl and darker 1v- ies climb; From fairy fountains, water ever yelling Fills all the air with 1iquid-ripp1ing The bright crocus and the snow-drop timid, Bold daisies gazing every at the sky, And golden cups with dewy nectar
 brimmed, About thy palace floor in myriads lie. With new-waked life the busy air is teeming, Flits the gay butterfly and huns the bee; In fitful sunlight the moist rocks are cleaning, There comes muraur of the dis tant sea.

to know how much indulgence in sports is rational for them it would do very little good to try to regulate them. If the door is closed on one amusement that appeals to them they will open another In strenuous times like the present, dancing places may be few and far between. The fact must not be lost sight of that sports should by no means be cut out alto- gether The more narrowing the times the more need of a judicioA1s amount -of gaiety to offset the gloom Let pleasures be indulged in with propri- ety.

SHOULD SPORTS BE REGULATED?
Look not between the sheltering bars t Upon tomorrow, But take whatever comes to thee
 Of joy and sorrow"

| Upon tomorrow,
 But take whatever comes to thee | Of joy and sorrow"
 Should sports be regulated? Well, it is about time something should be done when the whole world seems to have gone mad over the question of how much sport it can crowd into each day, month in and month out. Many people even want to wear the kind of clothes that pro- claim to everybody that they are young or old sports, as the case may be. Time was when the jolliest young girl would. shy at wearing anything ,conspicuous in the street In the old days the girl who wore Haunting red feathers, bronze shoes and a velvet jacket set off by big brass buttons was looked upon with a gasp of aston ishment. Now no one turns an eye lash when middle-aged matron comes dancing down the street dressed in an awning striped skirt, pea green sweater and stockings, white shoes, and a white hat pulled rakishly over one eye and tilted high on the other side.
 Time was, too, when girls considered one dance 8 week the acme of pleas ure. The present average girl walks three or four miles before breakfast. golfs until noon, rides on a trolley the length and breadth of the town until the late afternoon wanes, swallows a hasty dinner and then goes to the movies or a dance every night in the week save one. That's going some. The mothers of modern girls tell them they don't take a minute to rest 5 One mother bolder than the rest, comes out with @ suggestion that sports should be regulated. If girls would only agree to this how fine 1t would be! If every girl were to give three nights a week to pleasures and were to spend the others at home she would not be burning the candle at both ends
 These vivacious sport-loving girls have no time for day dreams about imatrimony. The young men who at tend them on their jaunts have little or no opportunity to do any courting. What chance have they to whisper tender words? Anxious parents are always waiting their return home. The hours usually take wing unheeded by dancing feet and giddy young heads.
 Girls do not realize it when they
 
 be allotted to them. All work and no play makes Jill a dull girl. But all play and no work makes this same Jill a very foolish one. No wonder it comes hard for such a girl to marry and settle down. Jolly times of this kind leave an impression on her mind that it is hard to forget. She devel- ops into into the kind of woman that won't do her own housework. The man she marries is forced to pay for the services of a. maid whether he can afford it or not. She always wants to play the role of a young girl, no mat ter how many years she has been married.
 : As for men. there would be a pretty to-do if their sports were interfered with. If thege is one thing man likes to keep to himself it is just what his sports really are. If he is going to ball game he makes no bones of his Hiking for it. If the race-track, women or wine lure him mum is the word for him. He lets the world guess If people haven't the Juagment
