More Truth

By James J. Montague
Up AND Up AND UP.
\ Cost of Living Ballad.

Smith put all of his cash in nice
corner lot
And joyfully said 10 his wife,
That when they'd erected neat lit
tie cot
They'd surely be happy for life;
But the glow they felt when the
house was complete
Endured but a shadowy minute.
For the Browns built a house half a
block up the street
With three baths and a sun parlor
in IT,
SO Smith on the Building and Loan
made a raid
And put up a house that threw
Browns in the shade
When Smith, in his flivver would
jog into town,
He thrilled with a justified pride
AS he drew up his car at the man
sion of Brown
And asked him to go for "A ride
But the joy that he felt swiftly van
ished away.
As ne stood by his white garden
gate
Regarding the world with content
ment, one day,
Brown drove up a brand-new Twin
Eight
So Smith right away had to work
out a plan
To purchaser credit-a Twin
Eight Sedan.
The Smiths had a cook whom they
proudly displayed
Whenever the Browns came TO call
Ii pleased Mrs. Smith to refer to
my maid"
For the Browns had no servant at
all
But joy fads away as the months
speed around.
The Smiths were soon plunged in
despair.
For when at the Browns they took
dinner they found
A cook and two second girls there.
Now they've written an ad, which
I'm quoting herewith:
'Wanted-Butler and Footman-
Apply to J. Smith"
It's 80 Hard To Pick 'Em.
Mr.. Hoover is now grooming
How happy I'd be with either
Were tother great party away.

Coats to Be Short, Suits Have No

According to the association nearly
everything in suits and coats and
dresses will be brown or moose, heavi-

silver thread embroideries especially
will be shown. Beads will be used on
everything except the most strictly
tailored garments.
AS for the suits, the coats will be
fairly short, and the skirts perfectly
plain. The jackets will have big fur
collars and fur about the bottom of
beaver, seal, dark squirrel, or taupe
nutria.
Nothing will keep warm the hands of
the fashionably gowned. There are no
cuffs or pockets on the suit, and muffs
are quite out. The bodices of these
jackets will be quite close fitting, as
miiady has signified that size has had
enough of loosely fitting things, but
skirts will have a decided flare. Tas-

GAY VARIETY OF sUNsHADEs
English Paper Comments on Styles
Out Since the Days Of the
World War.

Not even In the almost-forgotten
days before the war was there ever
such variety of sunshades as this
season, says an English paper.
Shapes have altered somewhat, and
so have sizes. Sunshades of the
normal size are still to be bought, but
shapes are apparently reverting to the
days Of the crinoline. The little pat
tern with outstanding wires and sun
shades of the small deep shape are
again seen this season.
The handles are long; some are
without ferrules, and are Of the club
stick pattern. The covers are bright,
especially in the self colors and
stripes This season stripes run to
greater width than last, and the
checks, too, are large. Some styles
are done in silk Of beautiful quality,
and some in printed shantung. The
latter come In exquisite subdued
shades. Fringe is used good deal as
trimming. For one new example, the
cover Is white silk overlaid with white
lace, and trimmed with black plated
tulle.

Is the professional, and some of these
linen hats are fairly large. Jade green
is, of course. one of the most popular
and Incidentally one of the most be-
coming colors for this purpose. Often
1t is trimmed with a large, crisp, white
muslin bow, which can be easily re-
newed. Cerise hats, also trimmed in
this fashion, are also inclined to be
popular. The hat is wider from side
to side than from back to front, and
mushroom shaped crown goes well
with it.
For the outings these hats are re-
markably pretty. Small linen Eats are
also being made, and are keeping rath-
er to the kept form, with exaggera-
tions In the way Of crown and peak.
