There is warm place in the heart of all women for the good old days of the Dolly Warden" frocks. Per- haps that is why the new frocks de- signed upon modified Dolly Warden lines are coming to be so popular.
 What could recall Dolly Warden more completely than the dainty puffs and the flowers of the little frock above? The material is pale laven- der pomadour taffeta. The puff1ng is used in the manner of ruff1es on the ovcrskirt and to edge the modest little round neck and the very short sleeves The blue velvet ribbon which is used for the girdle forms a charming contrast in color.

COOL WEATHER PICNICS.

Just because winds will soon be blowing
cold and chill and DAYS will be getting
shorter is no good reason why you should
give up the habit of going on plcnIcs that
YOU have enjoyed all summer. The chances
are that YOU didn't have half of the
picnics vou planned TO have this summer
one usually does plan for q good many
more outings than can easily be crammed
into one summer.
The custom Of autumn and winter
pIcnicking is ON the increase, and In most
climates il is quite possible to 60 on oc-
casional picnics right up until Christ
mas OF course your PROVISIONS tor lunch
or supper Will have 10 be different than
they would be for the warm-weather ex-
cursion. and one of the essentials of the
whole outing must be large camp fire
where SOUP or coffee may be warmed or
made and where steak NAV be hroiled or
bacon fried Often II is possible To build
the FIRE far enough IN advance of the
desired spread so that potatoes may be
roasted in the embers.
One thing that makes cool weather
picnics more desirable than those OF sum-
mer is that there IS far greater pleasure to
be derived from the tramp or walk pre-
ceedlng the picnic. Undoubtedly the
picnic st this time of year should be for
those who enjoy walking. To arrive st
your destination In automobile would rob
the outing of much OF ats benefit and
pleasure If YOU wish and are blesssed with
an automobile YOU may transport your
provisions before hand to a point near
your destination or YOU may apportion
them among the walkers each one OF
whom has some small burden on The walk.

When Uncle Sam put his soldiers in

into good physical condition. He went
over each to find his bodily faults and
then did all he could to correct them
When they were physically fit training
came easy. The same principle holds for
the child in school The first task when

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Tessle:
If you're thinking of buying any new
dresses / hope you're not thinking of
buying any with this new high tide effectin
the skirt. I've been casually noticing
some of the dresses that pass me in the
street and turning around not so casually
to notice others. It's got so that blush TO
see little girl of or 10 with her dresses
up to her knees where they ought to be,
because at first glance it seems as if she
was walking about initiating her mother
A woman's as young as she dresses now
adays, at least as far as the rear view is
concerned. When girl goes out with her
mother you've got TO spot the relationship
as they approach or else forever live IN
ignorance, because you can't tell from the
back. And if the grandmother happened
TO be along too, | suppose it would only
add TO the general confusion.
Now, Tessie, if you haven't been in
tending to buy any new clothes / trust
these few words Of mine haven't put any
such thoughts into your head. My in
tention merely was to put you on the
right track IN case you were heading
that way anyway. Nothing was further
from my thoughts than to actually start
anything. And / don't want to give myself
the air Of being prudish in these matters,
either Any display a woman cares TO
make on the beach in bathing suit, pro-
viding she's got the form for it, has nv
official O. K, but everything in its place,
that's my motto, and public thorough
fare is place for traffic and anything that
tends to block it is out of place. Some
people might consider me too convention
al, but that's the way / feel
Business is booming this week I'm
in a territory where Daisy Canned Soups
have never been heard of before, and the
result is surprising.
] hope you're not taking the baby out
too much. OF course he's got to get
used to the ways Of the world and all that
sort of thing, but after all a baby's place
is in the home, that's my motto.
Well, cheerio, as the English say.
Most aft.

only succeeded in rolling into the valley
below, and still the great mountain stood
monarch OF all.
But one night when the mighty noun
tain was telling Of its greatness some big
clouds were floating by, and, hearing the
boastings they stopped TO listen.
You may be monarch Of all here,
said the big clouds, but We can hide
your proud head so that you viii look
like little hill.
and pray how can such light and
fiirnsy things as you keep mighty noun
tain hidden? ! can tear you all IN shreds.
But the trees and rock having born
much begged the clouds if they could
humble the mighty mountain to do so.
The mountain took no notice Of all this,
"for.'' il said, Il have stood here for ages
in spite of all that hiss been done, and
still am monarch Of all, and do not
fear that YOU can hide my head.
But when the morning came the mighty
mountain was, indeed humbled, for its
high head was nowhere to be seen; the
big clouds had wrapped themselves
around its top and hung over its sides until
the mountain looked like big hill.
'Now you see you are not monarch
after all" called the trees and rocks, for
monarch must always be able TO use his
power and YOU cannot free yourself from
the big clouds that surround you"
All day the mountain, mighty no more,
was a prisoner of the big clouds, but as
night came along the top cloud called &c
its brothers: Rum here comes Old
Eolus, the wind god, " and off they went.
But they stopped long enough to say
TO the mountain: ''No one is monarch
for each can be humbled, and though
you fear not the wind god, we who rur
before him can hide your high head.
The mighty mountain was heard tc
brag no more, for IT had learned that ever
It's high and mighty head could be cover
ed, and the trees and rocks lived in peacs
and happiness ever after.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB.

1opyYfxh., 1870. By Wheelcr byndi-Aee In
OVER THIRTY.

OVEN InlRiI.
In an interesting article appearing
lately in popular magazine, business
man told why he never employed woman
under thirty.
The article is one every girl will do well
10 ponder. She may be over or under
thirty, but there are points made by the
business man that it will t,e Just as well for
her to consider.
There were other items besides age
that the article touched on. There was APP
pcarance. Mr.. Business Man stated that
ne always took note of the nails, hair and
shoes. II girls were not careful about
these details, they were likely, he thought,
to be careless in other small matters
that are important, though small.
He didn't hire n girl who was extravn-
CANT in her dressing He thought that she
might be extravagant with time and office
materials, that she would be quite ms
apt TO exploit her employer as her hns-
band or father.
He looked for signs Of good health and
sound constitution. He did not want a
girl who WAS apt to "cnjoy" poor health.
He had other points to make; but one
thing that his article will suggest to the
thoughtful girl who ia about TO seek for a
| position, is that getting a position with
the right sort OF employer IS not nap
hazard affair So far As possible her pros.
pective employer means To get the sort of
girl who will stay with him, who will do
her work well and who rs both intelligent
and progressive. He studies her with at
tention, and no detail of her appearance
| or her manners escapes him.
You may he thirty or you may be
twenty. But if YOU are looking for good
4 al - Il, t1., attfq
to promote you, to keep you with the
firm, and who is pretty sure TO have
fine class of persons already in his en-
ploy, then study yourself carefully. BE
As sure rs you can that YOU will meet his
critical appraisal of you with success
Don't count on your good looks to do tins

your good looks as he rs IN your ability ts
