impulsive choice. One is going to get
very tired of the paprika-cOlored top
coat and the jade evening gown, eX-
cept where the wardrobe is SO extern
sive that one has plenty Of changes.
But aren't the colors beautiful?
And YOU can give way TO these color

Mr. Young Dog sat down behind a

When the spider drew itself up To

down went his tail right over the hole

Mr. Young Dog moved n little and
down went the tip end of his tail into
the hole and the next thing he knew
something nipped his tail good and
hard.
Mr.. Young Dog yipped and jumped
and ran for the door, and there he
turned around TO see what was behind

VOGUE for Combination OF Materials
Enables Women to Conveniently
Change Style Of Garments.

Ii is particularly easy this season TO
remodel passe frOcks because combina-
tons of different fabrics are SO much
in vogue.
If YOU are fortunate enough TO have
a velvet gown which is still in good
condition. but which needs few fresh
ening touches. X may with little work
be transformed into a smart up-tO-date
frock. If the skirt is gored with a wide
front and back panel with perhaps two
cores on the sides, they may be used
as panels and set over a contrasting
shade of accordion plated georgette,
the velvet panels being lOOped up or
caught together beneath the hem So
that they do not fly out when the wear
er walks.
The waist may receive a vestee of
the georgette. while if the sleeves are
worn thin below the elbow they may be
cut of and finished with gathered puffs
of the crepe If the panels are wide
enough. and if the wearer be tall and
slender. they may be allowed 10 hang
loose.
TUNES are still in vogue and If you
have an evening frock of embroidered
net or lace that cannOt again be worn
without receiving attention. the lace
NAV be used as an Overtunic, the mar
rover sheath skirt being of metallic
cloth or satin. These little tunics are
often graduated or draped. In fact
there are no end OF ways whereby the
clever woman can refurbish her winter
wardrobe

then he knew what had happened. but.
though he sat there all day. not once
did he see the tip of Mr. Rats nose.
and when his mother came and found
he had not caught the rat he was sent
TO bed without his supper
"All play and no work make a dog
very lean" said his mother. "and the
sooner you learn the meaning of this
Dogtown saying the better"
Mr.. Young Dog was very sad and
hungry. but the next day he showed
his mother he understood the lesson.
for he began TO work and soon the
barn was free from rats, and the mas
ter called him good doggie.

The Deadly Arrow.

A mounted Indian or white man
with bow and arrows sometimes could
kill more buffaloes than a man could
kill with a rifle, says the American
Forestry Magazine. At close range
the arrow was as deadly as the bull
let. II made less noise. and arrows
could be discharged four times as rap
idly as bullets from Misunderstanding

SINCERITY

Definite, specific knowledge alone is
not enough. It is sincerity that car
ries with it the conviction that gets
across. knowledge is power, but sin
certify makes intelligent use of that
power. Either one in itself is po-
tent factor in your own success; the
combination of the two is irresistible.
Half-hearted belief in the product
you are selling will beget half hearted
belief in the mind of your customer,
whereas whole-souled conviction on
your part will transfer itself to your
listener. Luke-warm enthusiasm and
artificial pep will gain no more for
you than an easy tolerance, but gen
uine sincerity and natural expression
will invoke interest and like belief.
Lincoln himself was "sold." He be.
lieved intellectually in his PROPOSE
ton. 1t was his acquired knowledge
his simplicity, his sincerity-not ge-
nius-which won for him the support
of practically an entire nation and a

so doing.
Some may say they sell their pro-

may say your roads ere bad-some
may say they can buy cheaper else
