afternoon both dark and strong blues
are favorites. Black frocks are touched

highly considered for evening in gowns

are llvened with facings and pipings
Of georgette, in emerald green, henna,

SCOUT INSIGNIA IN MEMORIAL
WINDOW.

The memorial window unveiled for
Rev. DR.. Charles Townsend, for
nearly twenty years pastor Of the
First Presbyterian church of Orange,
N. j., is believed to be unique in scout
Ing annals, as it is the first to have the
boy scout insignia wrought into Its
design. Doctor Townsend was the
founder of the troop organization In
the church, and the window is the
gift of the scouts In loving memory
Of their leader who died in 1914. The
window portrays the incident of
Christ feeding the multitude, and re-
ceiving the loaves and fishes from the
hand of the boy whom Andrew, the
disciple, brings to the master, theme
once treated by Doctor Townsend In a
scout anniversary sermon.

Uncommon Sense

ON A BUDGET SYSTEM

RIOT only hard work, but sys.
~ tematic work Is necessary to
progress. Not even ditch
digger does exactly the same task all
the time.
Work that is planned ahead, counts.
Work on the catch as catch can system
is better than no work at ALL but that
Is NIL that can be said for 1t.
If your Job calls for various kinds
OF tasks, arrange 1t on the budget
system.
Decide In advance the order in
which 1t ought to be done to get the
best results. Allot a certain amount
Of time to certain part Of your daily
duties, according to their Importance
II you know, before you begin, just
how you expect to proceed, and ap-

proximntely what results you hope to
accomplish by the end of the day, you
will get fnr more done than you would
If you tackled the Job haphazard
1t Is a good plan to get rid Of the
drudgery first. Dispose Of the duties
that are disagreeable, as some duties
must inevitably he.
Then you will reach the enjoyable,
and the more important tasks with a
clear brain, and be able to get pleasure
as well as profit out Of their discharge.
The Office man who has fixed time
for going through his mail, another
for debating letters, another for re-
ceiving and giving Instructions to sub
0rdinates, and still another for talk
Ing to business callers, usually has a
clear desk by noon, and plenty Of time
to think over his big problems.
The man In the same job who begins
with any task that happens to be at
hand is usually half done at the end
Of the day. and wonders what has be-
come Of all his time.
There is nothing In this world that
cannot be done better II 1t is planned,
than II It Is not.
Begin your life by planning each
days work. and planning will soon be-
come automatic. Tasks will arrange
themselves In their proper order.
You may be In a very small and un-
important position, but reducing your
duties to budget system will save
time and energy, and help you to ac-
quire the competence and efficiency
that will lead to better positions by
and by.

THE NEW YEAR EAST

Lave no tears for other years,
i i For no other days;
In the east the sun appears
With Its morning rays.
Turn your back upon the west
Start again upon life's quest
With the rising sun -
Yesterday is done.
Do not weep for years that sleep
In the fading past
While the years before you sweep
Like an ocean vast.
There await your untried seas
OF new opportunities.
Lands unvisted--
Shape your course ahead!
DO not live In years that give
Only old regret;
Fortune is fugitive
You must seek her yet,
Time has closed the old years door
But the New Year lies before
There your fortune lies,
There awaits the prizei
You Will find no hope behind,
Only falling night;
But the east is glad and kind
With the morning light.
Turn your eyes to New Years east,
Every hour the dawn increased
Put the night away.
Yours Is now the Day!
