Bareback GOUns
Go Out of Style

Leading fashion displays in Paris
indicate the passing of the bare
back evening gown. Even moder-
ate decollete has been abandoned
in the new models, and, apparently
women who are fashionably gowned
will in the future vie for length of
sleeves and high collars.
Brown, instead of brilliant colors,
is regaining favor, even brick-red
on copper-brown being a popular
combination with copper-colored
bodices embroidered with gold and
with black velvet skirts.
For evening wear the skirts
promise to be somewhat longer, but
are still short of prewar days,
while there is plenty of evidence that
completely nude shoulders will be
taboo with well-dressed women.
Unlike the models of last year,
the waist line is again marked,
usually with ribbon or sash of crepe

There are many false and mis-

We see on every hand the sad
spectacle might almost say, for
those who really care about the
welfare of humanity, the heart
breaking spectacle-of strong and
able bodied men and women actually
seeking to make as little effort as
possible in return for the wages
paid to them for their so-called
work.
This they do because they regard
their work as merely making
money for those who already have
more than their share, not realizing
that the employer has provided
them with facilities for applying
their energy in a way which enables
them to contribute more to the gen.

could possibly do by their own

us felt that we could say anything
without causing too many surmises
on Toms part. SO we drove in.
Only a few weeks before the
place had an air of desertion and
decay. Now the grass Is clipped

set, out AS we came closer to the
house we saw that the vines had
been pruned and tended and that
building was going on.
At sight of these changes in his
boyhood home, I perceived how Jim
whitened under his tan and how the
muscles of his jaw grew taut as
fiddle strings. Phoebe's cheeks
crimsoned and her eyes became
more starlike than ever. Only my
brother puzzled, me. His manner
was alert and watchful. but not at

The happiest thought about work
to me is that work is the natural
outcome of life. The more vigor-
Gus the life the more vigorous and
joyous the effort to live and to over
come all that is in opposition to
life.
Is not life in every department
born of effort. and does not life
prosper only through effort?
Every one of the powers which
enrich and beautify life depends
equally upon effort. The healthy
child strives to walk and so learns
to walk, and, later, adds to Its
powers by the effort of learning to
swim. to ride, to cycle, to skate.
In all these achievements the re-
ward of the effort lies in the success
of the effort. The reward is in it
self.
The true reward Of mental effort
is never found in any commercial
value-in the book produced, or the
invention applied, or the problem
solved; it is found in the actual re-
suit of the work itself.
For Is not this the plan upon
upon which God has made us. His
children, in Hts own image, capable
of creative work and capable Of JOY
in contemplating that which we
have brought forth?
No enemy of mankind has power
to deprive us of this possibility,
pleasure in good work well done.
Could we but learn that all the
sorrow, suffering and destruction on
the earth are but the result of re-
fusal to work-refusal. that is, to
put up a resistance to that which
seeks to oppose life.
What a clever lie mans enemy,
the Devil, manufactured when he
first sowed the seed of the idea that
Limitation of output could possibly
be beneficial to mankind generally,
the idea which has so largely
brought into being the vicious circle
OF soaring prices, from which we
are all suffering-the idea Of max
ing as little effort as possible, which
brings misery not only upon our
selves but reaches out to every other
with whom we come in contact.
There are many workmen with us
TODAY into whose lives the joy OF
effort rightly directed has come in
it's fullness.
