Every Day Attire

One thing that the up-to-date mother has discovered, and to the comfort of her darling, is that the energetic youngster is apt to be warm, whatever the weather. So just be- cause the snow is on the ground she does not wrap up daughter unduly, but sees to it that her outer garments al'e light of weight, but warm, and the clothes that she wears underneath of such a character as to afford her protection, but not to cause the prick ly heat to break out upon her skin, state of affairs that mother-Iong ago as 1t was when she was a tiny tot even now sadly remembers. So daughters frock today is of some fla hric that is not much different from the sort she wears in summer-the warmth is given by the coat or cape that sh dons when she sallies forth into the cold. And she is well and rosy and as a general thing free from the constant colds that fall to the lot of her '1bundled up'' predecessor.
 Linens in plain co1ors are well liked too, and it is quite the custom to make linens effective by shocking them or giving them a touch of hand

You ask a great deal Of the world, don't you?
 You think it owes you happiness, a chance to make a living, an opportu- nifty or two.
 You also ask much of the people with whom you come iii contact You think they owe you a square deal, a helping hand now and then, loyalty, affection (which. of course, you pur- pose to meri), and a certain amount of tune and interest
 You even ask something of events You don't think its quite fair for the weather to interfere" with your plans. You feel your luck" isn't all ways what it ought to be-and that now and then chance owes you a good turn or two.
 But what do you ask of yourself? In fact. what do you think it is inn portant to ask of yourself?
 Without your own best efforts, with out your absolute loyalty to your own capabilities, you can't succeed Surely you must know that. But how much do you give to finding out what your capabilities and ambitions are and what you're equipped to bring to them in the shape of effort?
 Are you honest with yourself? Absolute, answering, rigorous honesty is the thing you must ask of yourself. But do you? And you l is a large, generic term, meaning l every One-

Jea.ousy IS one of the most ap proved ways of being married. But marriage covers a multitude of sins. The plain truth is you've got no more license to be jealous of your mate than you have of the postman. You don't OWN hin-you're merely work ing the same claim in life, and what he does with his life is UP TO HIM. It may hurt you a-plenty, you may feel it's going to smash your life but you haven't any business to let it smash your life.
 It's YOUR JOB to carry on with as little waste motion and noise as possible-FOR THE GOOD OF THE GANG. Jealousy is both waste mo- tion-and noise. It gets you nowhere, and it doesn't bring the other chap back. If he wants to fit, he's go- ing to an you might as well try and teach a humming bird to scratch for worms.
 So stop the shilling and the pussy footing. Look out and see how crowded the world is with folks that are needing YOU. And let's have done with jealousy.

Beauty Chats
HAIR TONICS.

Someone told me once that beauty specialists dealt only in cosmetics, which was not a fair remark If we all could live quiet. sane, thoroughly healthy lives, under the correct sani- tary conditions, perhaps none of us would need cosmetics.
 As it is. we need only about a tenth of the number and variety of fered to us as valuable .'beauty aids!
 But there are some things that we do need. We require a cleansing cream to keep clear skins that come in daily contact with soot and dust in cities CT along country roads We frosts or heat dry out the natural oils. For we have become more del

the older folks as well. They have on
exhibition four Marmozet monkeys

AUTOMOBILE PRICES
GRADUALLY FALLING
Five Manufacturers Announce Price
Reductions In This Issue OF
'The Democrat"

If the automobile business is not
good this year it will not be because
the prices have kept up. The fact is
that most of the factories have lower
cd their prices and because of this
fact the demand is now continually on
the increase; SO much so that some OF
the dealers are not able to take care
of the demand. In the past few weeks
several companies have noted their
reductions and this week the Ford
took tumble. We are not advertis-
ing any particular car in this article
but we~call the attention of our read
ers to the fact that great reductions
have Deen made in Bucks, Fords
Studcbakers, Chevrolets and Dodge
as will be noticed by reference to oui
advertising columns. This means that
the automobile commissioner will
soon be busy again issuing new Ii
censes.

POSTOFFICE OPEN
UNTIL 10 O'CLOCK
Authorities Have Made New Ruling
To Meet Demands OF The
Business Men.

The post office authorities are to be
congratulated upon the order effect
i've last week, changing the hour OF
closing the lobby of the Pocomoke
City post office. For nearly two years
the unreasonable and unbusiness-like
order prevailed that the lobby should
be closed at o'clock in the evening
The new order places the time OF
closing it in the future at 10 o'clock
To be sure the adding of the one hour
means much more convenience to
many of our business people, but It
Lad been hoped by the patrons gener-
ally that the old rule of allowing it
TO remain open all night would again
be put in force.
The post office is for the conven-
ience of the public. The Government
rents lock boxes to it's patrons and
the patrons pay for these boxes for
The express purpose of being able at
tiny and all times to get their mail
matter. If they are only allowed to
enter the post office while the post
ffice force is on. then they had as
ell save the amount they pay annu-
ally for their lock boxes and be
.scrved at the general delivery win
dow.
Many of our people believe that the
all night service is the best service,
that Il is in keeping with that given
towns If less magnitude than POGO
moke City, and they are hoping that
the authorities will soon go back to it.
