A SHADOW had fallen on my en-
n joyment of the walk | was tax
4 ing with Dicky to the brook we
both love so well. 1t was not alone
caused BY the remembrance OF the dis
tasteful task Lillian expected OF me,
but by something more intangible, yet
miScrably real to me.
Dicky's enthusiasm over the ilIuStra-
tons he was IA make for the aviation
serial Jared upon me. What business
had he, | asked myself bitterly, being
only an onlooker in this crucial test OF
the worlds civilization Other men OF
his age and ability were preparing to
fight and die for this great cause the
world had never seen. And he wa on
the side lines making little pictures OF
the activities OF others.
| was glad that Dicky was in one OF
his laxative moods, for he didn't notice
my low spirits. He chatted away about
the illustrations he was to make, and
. dozen other topics as if he hadn't a
serious thought in the world.

SAYS DRAFT MARES NEEDED
The Farm Here Pictured Can Be Dur

(By r NJ Murphy, Livestock Special

We go q visiting to livestock farm
and ask. that we be shown the live
stock thereof. We are first taken out
to the barn for a look at the horses
ana there are led out, for our gratifi-
cation, specimens" which embody the
perfection Of grace and beauty and
their owner recounts with facility the
aoted sires and dams in their lines OF
ancestry, calling particular attention
to their respective two-minute per-
formances and, by chance, referring to
Brown Squirrel, Hal Patch, ETC., whose
names we, OF course. repeat after him
as an indication that we have q con-
versatienal acquaintance with them.
Frankly, we are not looking for just
this kind Of horse and as we admire

our minds az to the use that is being
MADE Of them in connection with the

doubling the pleasure we should have
enjoyed spinning along as a result Of
their spirited action but we have been
brought oaft to the farm In Ford and
have made arrangements to return by
the same method.
By chance we observe that the liv
cry stable 30 which we are directed
tor transportation out to the farm has
been converted into garage and when
we express = preference for a nice
team, we are informeA that horses are
no longer used for such purposes and
that Ford will go anywhere.
In the face of such an argument, we
Rcquiesce for we can see that from the
stable owners standpoint he 10 exactly
right His 2atrons are more concerned
about quick service tAaA about pleas
ure rides. Their chief concern is to
make trip and return as quickly as
possible. The horse has been rele-
gated to the past and this viii occur
with greater rapidly as good roads
come. The wonder Of It all Is that this
farmer shculd, because Of sentiment
for the things Of the past, stiii cling
10 the light horse which he himself
can not use on his farm and which has
been superseded on the highway.

Much Ado About Hats

Do women fully realize the impor-
lance of becoming hat? / think moi
Some charming costumes lose all af-
fectivenexs because the wearer does
not give enough consideration to the
most essential article of her wardrobe
And right now there is such wide
selection and val4Aty even for the
nose fastidious. Dainty organizes
with fluffy little RIFLES for the sum
merry afternoon fsock, chiffon and
flowers for the foSlard or Georgette
dress and smart little advanced vel
vet shapes for the more tailord cos
tune. What a tragedy if Madame
does not search and fiHd the acme OF
charm and fascination to complete
her carefully-throught out wardrobe.

IF you want to know what the Y. M.

the fighting is hot" is the regular
reply Of the American soldiers in
France. according to cablegram re-
ceived recently by the National War
Work Council telling of more secre-
taries who have been under liquid
fire attacks, as well as gas and shell
fire. The American Expeditionary Of
flcers have sent scores Of letters to
the Paris headquarters of fhe "Y"
praising the work of the Red Triangle
workers, declaring them to be indis-
penssble.
More than a thousand "Y'' secre-
tariss are in advanced positions and
dugouts under constant shell fire.
There are no cutters and they re-
fuse to be relieved, saying that where
the troops go the Y. M. c. A. will stick.
