II Just love to walk along the
avenue and look at the smartly dress
ed girls and women" said a woman
of u acquaintance, and we agreed
with her. Is there anything more re-
freshing than a stroll down a busy
thoroughfare, say about four o'clock,
when the smartly attired shoppers are
looking for a place to have tea and
the tailored business woman is start
ing for home.
There is a certain note about the
clothes and appearance Of the modern
which makes the word smart
the only suitable word to use. Pretty,
dainty and even beautiful are no
longer applied to street garments. It
is the Smart suit or coat or frock
which is the fashion Of today. Just
lake a look about the next. time you
are shopping and see how many
women the word smart will fit where
no other word would do.
Perhaps when you are looking you
will see the frock pictured. Tan
velour de laine is used to fashion it
and although extremely simple it is
not severe. 1t follows the style of the
coat dresses which were popular in
the early fall. The Hudson seal
which forms: the high collar and I'M
usual" GUNS emphasizes the coat eff
feet. The triple panels front and
back are a new note in the world of
panels and the many buttons are one
OF the most prominent features on the
late winter models.

The Adventures Of the, Little People Of

When Dick Otter asked Father
Beaver what he was going to do with
that load of hay, he carried on his
head across Mirror Pond, Father
Beaver was kind and good-natured
and he answered., I'm going to put
this in my house, for my bed. You
know we Beavers are very particular
and we like a fresh straw mattress to
be often changed, so that it will be
soft and dry" ...
And then Dick otter and Sammy
Muskrat swan back home. and Dick
remarked, Sammy, I think when
you get home you better fix up your
bedroom and get yourself a fresh
new mattress; for the last time I saw
your room, everything was topsy-
turvy, and your mattress was as wet
as a drowned rat"

And as Dick and Sammy swan
nea the Beavers house they saw an
other strange sight. What In the
world are the Beavers doing now 2"
gasped Sammy Muskrat, why, see;
the whole big family are lying out
in the sun, side by side, like logs of
wood!"
Sammy" exclaimed Dick Otter,
Don't you know that the Beavers
take a sun-bath every day for their
health? Why, that is one reason why
they are so we'll and strong. And
they never have to call a doctor!"
But Sammy Muskrat continued,

Odd Bits About Women.

This happened in New York. A
woman entered one Of the government
employment offices and asked for a
job. She didn't care particularly for
the money. it seemed, but she wanted
to help her country.
She never earned q dollar In her
life, had no trade or profession and
couldn't run a typewriter, keep books
or trim a hat. Still she wanted to
help, II she could.
The examiner learned she had
helped her husband prepare his law
cases. and had done considerable re-
search work along those lines. He
gave her a job doing statistical work,
paying 500 a month.
In a short time the woman without
a trade was boosted to $3.50 a month.
Then came another promotion to q
new job, carrying $4,000. a year.
