Sport Suit of White Broadcloth
BY ANNE RrTTENHOUsE.

White Is difficult color to persuade
women to wear unless the weather Is
so hot that 1t represents relief from
it. The dressmakers run full tilt
against the almanac, however. They
do not like to be held within limits
by anything so trivial as a calendar
or a thermometer. One of their chief
delights Is to put women into. velvet
hats during the dog days and give
them straw hats when March winds
begin to blow sleet in their faces.
Judging by this contrariness. it does
not surprise the public that the dress
makers want women to wear white in
winter. There is no artistic excuse
for 1t. If white fabric makes a wom-
an look cool in summer it makes her
look cold in winter. But the grip OF

the day that is done. White broad

Der the glory of white broadcloth,

these pieces of fabric. Such costumes
are intended for skating only II the
wearer chooses. They can be worn on
the porch of a country club or taken
to Palm Beach. The sketch shows one
of these.

The work may be Indian or any type
of oriental ornamentation. Chiffon or
net. usually the latter. is used for the
foundation of both the gowns and
turbans. and fine pearls and small
rhinestones are thickly sewn on the
surface. One such gown cost $1,000.

You see. he couldn't look Farme,

couldn't do it because his eyes had

Browns Boy sternly. "Where did Won

In now? I haven't given you a
chicken to cat, so how did that
feather come to be in the corner OF
your mouth? I shall have to look
Rapidly he looked over the ground
around the box which was the home

found, excepting that one tell-taIe
little feather which he still held.
Then he walked over to that pox ano

3oung Fox went as far as his cham
would let him and there he lay down
and curled his big tail around over
mis- face so as to hide it. But all the
time he was peeping over it and
watching every move which Farmer
Browns Boy made.
AT drst Farmer Browns Boy saw
nothing because OF the darkness In
side that box. Then he discovered
another feather clinging to the side
of the doorway. He put his hand In
side and felt around. The back part
OF that box was full Of feathers. He
brought out whole handful. On.

Farmer Browns Boy needed in order
TO know what had become of his four

sternly as he looked at that young

GIRLS AUXILIARY.
THERE will be l6O girls of the
i Business High School chosen
shortly to make up the membership
Of the Girls Auxiliary, novel girls
society in the school. in addition to
the five girls on the executive COM
mittee of the organization.
The most unusual phase regarding
this society is that it was organized
primarily to cooperate with the boys
in the cadet corps OF the school, just
as do the women's auxiliaries of the
G. A. r. and other standard military
societies. This is the first time such
unit has been organized for the
girls in local school. There is no
reason. however, why this type of So
ciety should not have a distinct serv-
ice that would be of value to the
cadets and the school itself.
The $50 girls will be chosen from
the four classes according to their
standing in scholarship. and also the
lack of other social or athletic inter-
ests will be taken into consideration.
1t is planned to make this society
truly representative of the girls Of
the school, The society is to aid also
in raising the standard of department
in school and at recess times outside
the school building. and the develop
ment Of really active school spirit
that will permeate all the social,
athletic and academic interests in
equal degree.
