WHAT'S THE USE?
By James J. Montague.

By James J. Montague.
When first we read alluring tales
Of how the Fills victual
On steaks and outlets culled from
whales
Whose cost is very little,
We thought we'd buy one right ava!
And in the cistern park it
Until we needed it some day
But none were on the market.
F-'KW
About a fortnight after that
Was our intention focused
Upon a statement that there's fat
And lean meat in locust.
A dish of locusts, so we read,
Though skeptics might decry it,
Was more nutritious far than breao
And made splendid diet.
"Aha," cried we, "we'll take club
And kill eighteen or twenty.
Behind that big syringa shrub
The little things are plenty"
But when we got them nicely broiled
And on the table placed 'em
The children viewed them and re-
coiled
And wouldn't even taste 'em.
| know these scientific guys
Their time are freely giving
New means and methods to devise
To cut the cost of living.
But though their plans that I have
tried
Are manifold and many,
This stern fact cannot be denied:
They haven't helped me any.

Now enters a rival of the tailored
dress and the tailored suit, by way Of
making a pleasant variety in the all
day garb of the busy woman of af-
fairs. This rival is very chic and very
new and Is bound to have many fol-
lowers. 1t Is the "all-day Dress"
sturdy enough to stand up to the tests
of endurance that make the tailored
dress an essential in the wardrobe and
smart enough to fit in with almost any
background which the days rounds
may provide for it. There is chance
for the exercise of ones individuality
In selecting or designing the all-day
dress; it is an affair of individual
taste and Is successful In the proper
ton in which it is tasteful and orig
inal. Here is~something each one may
think out for herself.
The chic model shown in the picture
