ANY number of capes of Rodier

smart one by Premet is Of gray, brick

combination. One might judge from
reading about II that the cloth has
an extremely bizarre appearance. But
not so. The brick and graz are mere

Forester Greeley Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture In
expressing the forest services appre-
citation of the fine spirit Of co-opera-
ton shown by scouts In observing
Forest Protection week, writes as fol-
lows:
"Thls Is not the first time that the
Boy Scouts Of America have been
called upon to render service for the
government and your efforts in this
public-spirited movement TO preserve
our forests from needless destruction
have been in keeping with other note
worthy achievements Of your admir-
able organization. 1t Is pleasure to
feel that the boy scouts stand as a
unit for fire prevention and reforesta-
ton. But 1t is also more than pleas
ure-it is an assurance Of an inyalu-
able aid In work Of the utmost pub

who cannot wear this tickllsh weave,

other way In which this difficulty may
be overcome is to wear two pairs of

while the outer one Is OF the wool. The
favorite shades for sport wear are

Care Of Finger Nails.

If your finger tips are rounded you
should file your nails so that they are
just a trife more curved than your
finger tips. This will tend to make
them look graceful. The claw-llke
nail, although fashionable With many
women who prefer following general
fashion tendencies without regard TO
the individual shape Of their fingers, is
far from beautiful. Very often when
this style is affected the nail is filed so
closely down the sides of the finger
tip that the underneath cuticle is quite
apparent This type of nail cutting
should be reserved exclusively for the
woman who has a triangularly-polnted
finger.
