American Designs Preferred.
One is immensely proud of Ameri-
can clothes this spring. Our designers
have had the courage to show them in
connection with the French gowns, and
it is easily proved that in several i'm
portant houses the American woman
chooses her entire spring wardrobe
from American designs, rather than
French ones.
One of the reasons for this is that
Paris has not laid unusual stress upon
the tailored costume. and the Ameri-
can woman had reverted to it. She
wants to appear in a simple but dis
tinguished costume when she is in the

AN TALL e
THE COYOTE BROTHERS.
~ MKEY @AuAn ReaNs sgR

"Of course said the coyote, or
don't like me-"
''They aren't any fonder of me-" said
his brother, Jimmie Coyote
Now the first speakers name was
Jackie Coyote and Jackie had quite
lot to say.
"Will you listen to me?" he asked
of his brother.
Certainly" said Jimmie 81 was
listening to you before. If I had not
been listening how could 1 have said
that there were creatures who weren't
any fonder- of me than Of you? That
was because I had been paying atten-
tion to what you were saying"
That's so," said Jackie. "Well, I'll
be glad if you listen to me some more.
I've lots to say to you"
81 will be delighted to-" said Jimmie,
barking quite happily.
'In the first place. said Jackie,
there are some creatures, such as the
prairie dogs for instance, who don't
like u.s."

understand why the prairie dogs don't
like US, can't you?"

it shows we appreciate them when we
eat them up, We enjoy their tender
little bodies.''
True" said Jimmie. "Yes, to hear
| you talk Of them makes my mouth wa
ter. But still, the prairie dogs don't
like to be eaten up. They're very fond
of living. They don't care for our sort
Of appreciation"
81 suppose 1 can't blame them for
that said Jackie, "but still to hear
you talk about how much they like to
live, one would think you had turned
over new leaf and had decided never
to eat one again. Is that so?"
''No!'' barked Jimmie. TITS not true.
I'd eat the first one I saw. But what
do you mean about my turning over a

bizarre splash of something that
changes the mannish severity of the
American national costume into some
thing with coquetry that melts into the
personality of the French women.
Seeing their opportunity and grasp
ing it as they have never done before,
the American tailoring establishments
have worked wonders. They have kept
to the governments request for the
elimination of wool as far as possible,
and they have achieved costumes that
are eminently fitting and distinguished
on the American figure, and for the
personality of the American woman.
More power to them
The New French Draperies.
The severity that America lays down
for us in the morning is easily changed
into a floating gracefulness as laid
down by France for the late afternoon
and evening.
It is yet to be seen whether America
will go in extensively for afternoon
gowns, according to the French Gus
tom, but there is one thing of which
we are quite certain; if the American
woman likes an afternoon gown, she
will wear it through the evening, un-
less some formality of entertainment
demands a more ornamental frock.
France has cut her silhouette as
slim as the American designer has cut
it for tailored costumes, but France
gives a note of the First Empire in the
seductive way in which she drapes this
narrow foundation with floating, trans
parent material.
The trick is not confined to house
costumes; it plays good role in street
gowns also, in a modified and demure
manner. A tunic of Georgette crepe
for example, will be dropped over q
slim underslip of silk or saith, and the
i sleeves will float away from the arms
and come back suddenly to the wrists
where they are tightly caught in. But
this gown will not be accepted by the
American woman for the street.
There is a strong note of economy
struck in these new French clothes
which is heard by the woman who is
hiring a seamstress to build up hel
spring wardrobe at home. 1t shows
the way to alter old gowns into new
ones. The majority of women owl
evening frocks that have good founda
tions, the skirts trifle too full, it is
true, but otherwise ready to serve as
the beginning of new frock. The al
teration in the skirt is a simple one. 1
consists Of Strengthening out all The
seams, so that there is no flare from
the hips down.

WILLING TO SHARE DANGER
Brave French Woman No More Afraid
of Air Raid Than Her Husband
Was of Shells.

All Paris is laughing over the sang
frofd of young married midinette on
the occasion of a recent air raid on
Paris.
The heroine resides on the top story
of large apartment house, and when
the warning was given was sound
asleep.
The concierge, finding that she did
not descend to the underground shell
ter, raced upstairs and banged at the
door.
After repeated hammerings he woke
the lady up, and called to her to i'm
mediately descend to the basement as
a raid was on and she was in great
danger on the top floor.
"Go away and let me sleep. My hus-
band is in the trenches. Do you think
he gets into a dugout every time a shell
falls? Why should I. therefore, be
frightened of an air raid?"

The Cup of Jov.

A great deal of our unhappiness
comes simply because we will not al
low ourselves to be happy. The
brightness of the morning, the song
of a bird, the call of some dear voice,
each brings a thrill of gladness, a
thrill which we straightway smother
by bringing to our thought the things
that are not as we want them. We
remember yesterdays grievance. the
uncertain issue of some pet plan, an
unwelcome duty that lies ahead, and
the cup Of joy is pushed aside.

said Jackie. 'eI must continue where
I left off,"
'Pray do" said Jimmie.
"We had gone as far as the point
where we both agreed that there were
creatures who didn't like us, the coy
ote family. otherwise known as the
prairie wolves. But again there are
some who think quite well of US.
"We're smaller than the gray wolves,
and the only time we're very good look
ing is in the autumn The Mrs. Prairie
Wolves are never very handsome.
'We aren't brave, for it's foolish to
our minds to be brave. We don't want
to get hurt. But we're wise, very
wise.
I'VE always know whether the men
have their guns or not. They say it Is
surprising how we always know it.
And if they haven't their guns we're
quite friendly.
"Of course we like to do our own
little bit of hunting, but when it comes
to being hunted and with guns which
always aim so straight-well, that's
an entirely different question"
'It is, indeed" said Jimmie "You
lave given true story of the habits
and ways of the coyote or prairie wolf.
And I like to hear about myself and
/ yourself and all of our relations"
"It's a fact" said Jackie, "that all
creatures like to hear about them
selves. And it's true Of the coyote,
/ too"
"Hark! Harkl Do I hear some
prairie dogs in the distance?" asked
! Jimmie
"You certainly have good ears" said
Jackie, 'and most certainly you have
not turned over a new leaf"
Lets go and see," said Jimmie
So the Coyote brothers went off a
hunting but on this trip they were not
what they called fortunate" which
meant that the prairie dogs were for
tunate and escaped a most untimely
end.
And Jackie and Jimmie had to have
another kind of a supper.

Producers and consumers may find
IL to their advantage to use the parcel
post for marketing sirups and extract
ed honey, according to a statement
from the bureau of markets, United
States department of agriculture. Ex-
perimental shipments of maple, cane,
sorghum sirups. and extracted honey,
made from many parts of the country
over many different mail routes, have
shown the possibilities Of marketing
these products by parcel post. A total
Of 394 trial shipments were made over
distances averaging 654 miles, a much
greater distance, 1t is pointed out, than
= sirups are likely to be sent by mail.
OF these shipments only three showed
any material loss of contents because
Of seepage OF leakage and this was due
to unusually rough handling.
Tin Containers Used.
Two types of tin containers were
found satisfactory for parcel post ship
ments Of sirups and honey. Both
types have screw caps and are pro-
vided with outer cartons of corrugated
paper board. The screw caps contain
snugly fitting pieces Of cork that cover
the opening in the cans when the screw
caps are properly closed. AS protec-
ton to the screw caps. squares of cor
rugated paper board are placed on top
of the cans beside the screw caps.
Such packages properly wrapped and
securely tied, marked fragile" as re-
Quired by the postal regulations for
packages containing liquids, will carry
without danger of leakage in the mails.
High Cost Of Containers.

In order to retain customers, say the
specialists, 1t is necessary that only
