TOR young women in school, frocks

cal; but these two requisites must
put themselves in the company OF
smart style, or the younger set won't
be able TO see them at ALL 1t amounts
to almost tragedy in the life OF a
tapper when she finds herself com
PEELED to wear clothes that are mere

schools condemn her to uniform.
Either she discovers that the uniform

undertakes to keep her so busy that
she forgets II, and thus the bitterness

But specialists, whose business IL

In introducing all sorts OF captivating

combine style with comfort In simple
dresses that viii meet the approval OF
even the most critical Of elders. One
of them as shown above is a wool
frock in shepherds plaid, on which
yarn has been cleverly employed for

HARD ROADS SAVE GASOLINE
They Also Result in Much Less
Wear and Tear on Tires, Springs
and General Comfort.

In tests recently made at Cleveland,
o.. a hye-ton truck carrying Il full load
averaged l1.TS miles per gallon Of
gasoline over a concrete road and but
SIS miles per gallon over an earth
road in average condition.
The truck was tested over seven
different kinds of highway. On the
earth road the mileage per gallon o:
gasoline was as above noted, 5.7S. On
fair gravel, no miles per gallon; on
good gravel, 939 niles on fair ma
cadam, 9.4S miles; on fair brick, 9.Ss
miles on good brick. Hi miles, and
on concrete, HIS miles per gallon Of
gasoline.
According to the above figures for a
man who drives his auto 5000 miles
during the year and assuming that L.
90 miles of the total will be over me-
dunn to poor roads, the balance over
fair to good roads, The cost of gasoline
would be $40 TO $50 in excess of what
1t would be If all of the road was
made Of concrete.
Besides the extra expense for fuel,
there would be big saving on tires,
springs, general wear and tear and
comfort

estimates, United States Department
of Agriculture, Illinois is far in he
lead Of states in providing crop haul
age. and its fraction Of the United
States total is one-tenth, or S,S1o,0OO
tons. Iowa has 6590,000 tons. and
Kansas somewhat more than one-haf
of the Illinois tonnage hauled, with
4,SG2, 000'tons. Following IN order are
Neblasln. Indiana. Ohio and Texas,
with 4,9rOOO0 tons in the last-named
state. The difference between high
and low costs of hauling due to poor
or good condition of roads reaches a
large figure In the hauling Of this

thereof.

and In trying to show its strength II
would do great harm.
And then 1t was, too, that the Wind
discovered that il could not do this
alone IN spite Of It's Dragging and
being able 10 drive the Rain before 1t.
As soon as the Wind stopped blow
Ing and began 10 think. the Rain came
down faster and fuSter and the pools
grew into little ponds, for now il was
sure 1t had oyerpowercd the Wind and
was master of everything
But this was not true, for over the
tree tops and over the hills and noun
tans went the Wind. running swiftly
toward the east, for there it knew
was Mr.. Sunman. and he could always
make everything right.
"Oh, Mr.. Sunman," called the Wind;
wake up quickly and get up. There
Is something terrible happening" and
then It told Mr.. Sunman all about 1t,
taking its part Of the blame.
II was very hard for Mr. Sunman to
get up that morning for the Rain had
thrown thick blankets of clouds over
him while he slept. but with the help
of the Wind he ut last threw them off
and up he rot and away they ran.
Up higher and higher they went,
and in short time away went the
Rain and even the ponds and little
rivers and pools wore soon taken care
Of and all that remained of the dread
full quarrel We're the tears Of rain
dropping from the leaves.
The Wind carefully ran among the
trees and helped Mr.. Sunman dry
them, and by and by all was we'll in
the land and now the Wind always
goes over the hill and mountain tops
early In the morning to awaken Mr.,
Sunman and sometimes If you listen
you can hear the sound of its heavy
breathing as II runs.

the Younger
n EAlEMBER that wedding gifts
X are always sent addressed TO the
bride-to-be even though you may
never have met her and you are a
friend only Of the bridegroom-to-be If
you receive invitations to the wedding
or know of II before 1t occurs then
the gift should always be sent before
the ceremony and the present ad-
dressed in the brides maiden name.
Silver and other articles to be
marked with an initial should bear
the first letter of the brides maiden
name, usually. There are, however,
some young women who prefer TO fol-
low the continental European fashion
and have their silver, etc, marked
with their married initial. If you
know this To be the case have your
gift marked in this way.
If you do not know of the marriage
until after 1t has occurred the gift
should still be sent to the bride only,
bet It should Of course be addressed
to her married name.
A wedding gift may be something
personal for the bride or something
that is for both bride and groom as
an article Of household decoration or
furnishing. II SHOULD never be some
thing that is especially suitable for
the bridegroom, as Tor instance, a
smoking stand

however, simply through indifference,

In order not. to give the bride some

Is permissible TO make inquiries con.
corning her wishes on the subject. 1t
Is better, perhaps, TO make these
through third person and not TO
ask the bride personally, but rather a
sister or close friend.
1t Is customary for the bridegroom
to give The pride a present of some
sort Of jewelry on the occasion Of the
wedding but this is by no means es-
sental. The bride sometimes also
makes the bridegroom "A present ut

the brlde-to-be present of two com.

may give her Jewelry that she wears
on her wedding dress and her bouquet,
he must supply no other part of her
