WIN, BUT ENJOY GAME

- ENTLEMEN who play golf will
~ tell you that the man who tries
too hard, never does very well at 1t.
Incidentally, he never gets any fun
out of the game.
There are many parallels between
golf and life, which is doubtless the
reason that so many people are devot-
ed to 1t.
Golf, of course, is game, and only
game. Yet there are many of Its fol-
lowers who can see only the advantage
of winning and who come in sour aud
i'll tempered if they lose.
Others, while they try to win, get
just as much fun out of it if they don't.
And they never stamp on their clubs
or throw them away, or swear at the
caddies
1t Is very important to win in any
thing. But it is more important to get
your allowance of fun out of 1t as you
go along.
Sitting wheezily in any rich mans
club you will find old gentlemen who
wanted to win more than anything
else, and who did win fortunes, but
lost their health and their happiness
in the effort. And with all their
money, you can set them down as
losers.
There is good craftsmanship in all
human effort. There are things the good
sportsman will not do, even to win.
One Of them is cheating, another is
becoming so absorbed in the pursuit of
victory that he forgets everything else
as he goes along.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"ABRAcADABRA"

ITO DISCOVER the genesis
= of this term, formerly used
in lamentations and now utilized
as a symbol of "gibberism," one
has to go back to the Hebrew
words signifying Father, Son
and Holy Spirit--Ab, Ben.
Rauch Acadosh. The initials
Of these words give "Abra," the
syllables which are twice re-
peated in the supposedly ritual
istic invocation.
The earliest known occur
renee of the word Is in a poem
written in the Second century
by Q. Serenus Sammonicus, but
1t was in comparatively recent
times that the term gained fame
on account of It's supposedly
mystical powers of healing, par
ticularly when written in the
triangular form:
BRACAD BRA
ABRA CADAB
ABRA CADAB
ABRA CADA
RACAD
RACA
ABRAC

A r
ABB
A
According to the popular SUI
perstition, the paper upon which
these letters were written was
TO be folded so as to conceal the
writing, sewed up with white
thread and worm around the
neck, thus protecting it's wear
er against fever and ague.

CRAvATS FOR STREET SUITS
Separate Collar Of Soft Material
Crosses In Back and is knotted
in Center Front.

Jenny shows in her new collection a
most original cravat made to be worn
with her street suits. This separate
collar Is Of soft material, goes around
the neck, crosses In the back and is
knotted in the center front with
streamers which fall to the knees.
Their embroidered ends hang down be-
meath the coat In color the cravat
barmonizes with the tone of the suit,
though in many instances 1t Is of
black velvet or beige satin. One can
imagine how much the bare and un-
becoming neck line of coat, worn
over the prevailing bateau blouse, is
relieved by this separate high collar.
Jenny emphasizes the draped gown,
achieving the unusual by placing a
pocket at the side of every skirt where
the drapery fastens. In this pocket Is
Il chic linen handkerchief matching In
color the touch of embroidery on the
dress.

The Woman was surprised and dis

with tear-stained cheeks.
"Jim and have simply got to have

the baby has come we simply can't

"Don't you agree about the way to
bring up childrenT queried the Wom-

ence Of her friends.
"Oh, 1t isn't that" almost sobbed the

think the baby belongs to her. She
calls him mammals boy, and the other

NEW IDEA IN HOUSE BUILDING
Claim Made That by This Method un'
skilled Labor Can 30 Put to
Practical Use.

Axel Wedberg, Floral Park, l.. l., has
made an invention that Is snid to be Of
great Importance In house build
Ing, says Foreign Language lntorma-
ton Service.
MIR. Wedbergs idea Is to build
houses with cast concrete walls made
In mol1s, which can easily be Joined
by means Of hooks and props. The
concrete blocks are then put together
IN the eoraers " dovetailing. The roof
and the sldew&lss are Joined in the
same way.
One outstanding advantage In this
method Is that houses can be built by
almost unskllled laborers, as most Of
the cast concrete blocks are made to
fit exactly where they belong before
being erected.
Another feature is the easy way a
damaged building can be repaired the
defective block only being replaced by
a new one. Wall paper and paint are
easily applied. The blocks are not
solid, but are provided with four.
inch air and insulating hole.
The inventor came over to this coun-
try In 1903. and has since been study
Ing and working. For the last twelve
years he has been connected with sew
eral house-building concerns.

To Wear COttOnS
Material in New Form Is Sup.
piled by Manufacturers.
Fabric Closely Resembles Georgette
Crepe and Crepe de Chine; Woven
Embroidered Patterns.

The cotton dress Is to renew its pop
ularity, writes a Paris fashion cOrre-
spOndent. Its re-entry as really fash
lonable costume has been prepared for
by manufacturers Of cotton fabrics
who have brought out cotton crepes
and other sheer materials so beauti-
fully woven that they closely resemble
georgette crepe and crepe de chimes.
White cOttons have woven embroidered
patterns.
Rodier, the well-known French
manufacturer Of cotton and wool ma
terials, Is featuring for 1922 cotton
crepes, vOiles. piQues, batistes and
linen embroidered either in matching
or contrasting colors. A white mate
rial may carry an embroidered pattern
In several cOlors. An example is one
of his most interesting fabrics, white
organdina-a fine cotton crepe which
has floral design worked out In three
different threads. The flowers are EN-
broidered In colors, the stems in black
ana the leaves in gold thread. The
use Of black threads intermingled In
colored designs is one Of Rodier's most
frequent combinations.
Swiss muslin, with its shower OF
dots. is always favorite with the
American woman, although made little
Of by the Parisienne. 1t has lost none
of Its prestige in this country, and we
see 1t in myriads Of wonderful shades
ranging from pale grays and mauves
