is THIS STEALING?

The following incident is not a
story but fact of human interest
brought out of the World War
A Catholic priest chaplain was sit
ting one Sunday afternoon in his bill
let in France and his only company
was a private soldier who sat quiet
ly in a corner of the room smoking
and dreaming of his Powder River
ranch down in the southwest corner
of Montana, for he was a cowboy. He
was a good representative of that type
of western plainsman who was short
on conversation but long on action.
Suddenly the silence was broken and
he requested the chaplain to elucidate
the morality of stealing. This is the
case for which he sought a solution
as he told it himself.
eve came over here on board an
English transport. We knew that we
were not travelling on passes but the
United States Government was paying
our passage. The food given us by
those English was terrible; in fact
after few days out the only things
eatable were the cookies and sweets
bought in the canteen. The stewards
aboard went amongst us selling food
and they did big business because
we were half starved all the time.
One day / bargained with steward
to bring me roast chicken for which
l was to pay four dollars. Ten min.
utes later I saw him coming along
the passage way with the chicken on
a tray. / stepped into side gang
way and as he was about to pass
reached out my leg and tripped him
grabbed the chicken, hit him in back
of the ear and ran. Now the question
I want to ask, chaplain, is this-was
that stealing?"
The question had SO many ramifi
cations that it is still unsolved.

THE REAL SUCCESS.

1t isn't power or wealth or fame;
It's holding fast to an henored name;
It's doing right in the face of sneers;
It's putting might in the place of
fears;
It's helping others to happiness
That means success!
Not always crowned by a laurel
wreath,
1t may be held by the man beneath
Who's shabby but yet has the inner
glow
Of the eyes that see, and a heart to
know
That it's serving your fellows amid the
stress
That means success.

THE CEDAR WAX WING.

This morn l heard
The Cedar-bird
Known as the wax wing.
A saucy slave
Right at my door
The cherry tree was taxing.
From frosty hill
And meadows chill a,t
And drear October day time,
He'd winged his way
To sunny day
And flowers like the May time.
He summers fine
In northern cline
When yellow corn is growing,
But winter spends
With Floridans
And balmy breezes blowing.

Spring shoes are more elaborate
and gorgeous than ever before, al
though such a pedal state seems al
most impossible in view OF the con-

about this past season.
Shoe makers say that since. after
long years in the attempt. they have

WEAR HATS That FIT FACE
Young Girls Are Supposed 70 Favor
Millinery Which Has ESPrss-
slon % Youth.

There Il none so powerful In the
mastery Of fashion who can lay down
the law about hats for a class. The
young girl is supposed to wear the
kind which expresses youth and avoid
the type worn by the older women.
This tradition Is gone by the board.
II keeps company with Davy Jones
Locker and q million traditions OF the
depths.
The debutante OF this gay and pros
porous season wears on her head that
which looks well over her face. The
rule Is an excellent one to follow
through life. Il aids the old and the
young. the pretty and the plain.
The stiff sailor shape, GIbsonian In
It's severity, Is about the only kind
that Is not popular. All the hats that
have cluttered fashion since the idea
began OF wearing formal coverings on
the head have reappeared this sea-
son. They present a bewildering ar
ray. It Is true. but not an unpleasant
one. II Is distinctly comfortable to
find a wide limit to ones choice.
The tam Is the most girlish shape,
and II persists In fashion. II has
ceased to hang over the back Of the
collar in the Latin Quarter way. 1t
has plenty Of fullness, which Is dis
posed to give breadth across the head.
For ornament there Is a broad spread
Egyptian design In some composition
In an Egyptian blue. This blue Is ad-
for debutantes.
The high-crOwned hat that is usually
difficult for the adult to wear goes
wen with the brilliant and unlined
youthful face. It has a slight brim
and a mass Of fiues swiriing out from
the side. The young wear It In black
velvet without a touch Of color.
The Persian turban brought into
strong relief this winter by the sue

light Of the girl who has a dash Of the
adventuresome IN her carriage II
should not be worn by the timid type.

covered with a latticework OF small

Of most unusual sorts OF trimmings,

Spotted FInery and Gay coIors Give

Fashion Critic Declares


There b every reason why q young
girl should strive 70 make herself at
ractiye In appearances, says a fashion
critic In Good Housekeeping. The
trouble often is that her standard OF
what Is attractive Is wrong. II is q
mistake 70 strive to be conspicuous,
while It is right to look charming
neat and inconsplcuous Cleanliness
and tidiness are two great factors.
The hair and hands should be immacu-
late, while great pulls Of hair and
frOwsiness are never attractive. Spot
ted fnery or gay colors give an appear
Rnce OF earelessness and frtvolty
which do not speak wen for the bust
ness character Of the Individual or the
work she Is likely TO perform, where
as cleanliness and well-bTushed ana
becoming plain clothes inspire conn
dence and betoken a capable, self-re-
specting individual.
There Is charm in well-arranged
hair and pretty clothes which every
young girl should take advantage or
but do not make the mistake Of think
ing that exaggerated hair and fussy
rlotbes have charm, whether during
bussDess hours or after. They have
aot. There is a correct standard of
dress for business as wei as for social
life.
To be suitably dressed for a given
occasion is to be well dressed. Upon
the kind OF work depends the COS
tune. If most of the time is spent
Indoors, tailored dresses are more be
coming than a shirtwaist and skirt.
II, on the other hand, the work Is ont
Of doors, sNsuit is smarter. The over
blouse now used, Of the same shade
as the suit. has done away with the
hard line Of demarcatiOn between the
light waist and dark skirt. which
proved at all times unbecoming.
Whether a dress or suit, the secret Of
m6rtness is simplicity Of line and cut.
Black, navy blue and brown are the
most suitable colors for business, for
they blend with their surroundings
The epitome OF good taste Is incon-
spicrOus dressing. WelI-dreSsed, well
bred women always wear plain street
clothes or tailored dresses during the
day.

TOP COAT THING OF BEAUTY"
seasonabIe Outer Garment One Of the
Most Important AdlUnets TO
MIIady's Wardrobe.

At this season Of the year the top
coat is one Of the most important ad
JUncts TO the weil-dressed woman'i
wardrobe. But while the name may
eOnture up a vision Of an aIl-envelop
ing wrap that Is somewhat nondescript
In appearance, the modern topcoai
may truly be named "a thing Of beau.
y, and joy" as long as the fashion
lasts.
For one thing, there Is such 9
wealth Of rich fabrics from which II
may be fashioned. Their colOrs are 60
varied and so delightful that one con-
templates these modes as one would
an exhibition Of rare paintings. And
the style touches that add 80 much
distinction to these modes are most
unusual. The buckle and the plain
button that once considered them
selves the only embellishments on such
wraps are far eclipsed by the decora-
tioDs Of the hour.
Strangely wrought cords, rich In
color. take the place Of the formal

one hesitate IN naming the garment
which they adorn. Severe mannish

Sometimes a most striking combIna-
tion Of fabrics opens up vistas Of new
ideals IN The matter Of fashioning such

Of the most delightful aspects Of the
