Don Simply Tailored Cloth Suits
BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

In the vocabularies of some word
wise persons "boyish," along with
"girlish." has become taboo. And there
are women who fairly shudder when
the eager saleswoman. who is show
ing a frock or suit or hat, gurgles
out with, II am sure you will like
this 1t is so 'girlishi"
Doubtless there are French women
who have become as weary OF the
word "garconne," used to describe
styles for young women-any women
who hope TO look young by dressing
like their daughtera-of a sort sug-
gestive of and cleverly adapted from
the clothes of young boys.
If YOU are one of the obJectorS TO
these words. pray forgive us then
while we say that there is nothing
much smarter, II you can wear 1t,
than the boyish tailored suit of gray.
In beige it is quite as smart. and i'll
France is sometimes made of wool
velours. The low closing with three
buttons and the impertinent little
pockets give it decided sinartneSs.
The sleeves are close fitting and cuh-
less, and the notched collar Is very
flat and we'll tailored. Always in
these smart little suits the closing
Is held by three buttons and button
holes placed fairly low. Sometimes
usually here-the jacket is cut very
straight, nut many OIL tne tdiioi cu
suits in Paris are cut with a slight
curving in at the waist-at a rather
low placed waist line, to be sure.
Whatever the blouse or the collar
thereof there is always seemingly a
scarf of some sort, though sometimes
this Is worn pendent from the crooked
arm rather than draped around the
throat.
The hat worn with one of these new
tailored suits must, of course, be
small-just at present the small cioche
still leading in choice.

Strapping the Chin.

Few women over forty years of
age have a good chin line. In fact
few women of thirty possess really
smooth, firm line running from the
chin to the throat. Yet it Is possible
10 keep this feature youthful we'll
into middle age.
If you are too stout, SO that a pock-
ct of flesh forms under the skin and
gives you that dreaded double chin
appearance, the thing to do Is to diet
until you are the proper weight, and
TO massage away this unnecessary
flesh, AS you reduce some of this
flesh will naturally be absorbed into
the system; If you are fortunate
ali of it will be absorbed: but a Wig
orous massage will always help. The
flesh, however, will be stretched and
must be treated with astringents,
otherwise 1t will hang in loose folds.
Chin strapping is a comparatively
easy way of keeping this line young.
The face, neck and particularly the
chin should be massaged with a good
flesh building cream. Long strips Of
muslin or gauee should then be rolled

We Are Thankful.


We are the children of the earth;
our souls swell with the sheer beauty
of it; our hearts sing in pure Joy of
living Each day measured as q pre-
cious grain from out times guarded
stone--from challenging sunrise to
serene sunset-fills us with a deep
sense of dependence and penetrat-
ing faith that we are cherished and
well beloved.
For this we are thankful.
Rains wet the dry earth and hang
each grass blade with jewels: fill each
flower cup with soft rainbows; splash
down the mountain sides and throw
gray wells over the pleasant valleys.
Straightway young growing things
lift up their heads and rejoice in their
being.
Truly for this we are thankful.
rs Rf Ripe leaves @ fiutter and swirl and
gently lie down on earth's bosom.
Sails swell and strain; gallantly the
! ships ride to harbor. We tilt our
faces and the keen caress brings color
to our icheeks and a Tilt to our steps.
'TIs the breath of the universe soft
ened to benedictfon.
For this. too, we are thankful.
Friends greet us; hold out warm,
| welcoming hands and smile glad It'd
ings into our eyes; pour good words
into our eager ears; cheer our efforts
and give US new hope.
Work comes to our hands and fills
US with zeal and Joy in the doing.
We stretch our muscles, broaden our
backs, lengthen our reach, that full
power may flow from us and that the
DAVIS end finds us with a feeling of
honest striving and contented weari-
ness-finds US and leaves us with a
sense of kinship with the Creator.
For these gifts we are deeply
thankful.

not lock up their sympathies. their
peace of mind, their personal service
their money, safely away from your
pilfering.
OF course, there are many people
who are really ill. Through no fault
of their own. they are smitten down
by some terrible disease, and they
deserve all that we can give of pity
and help as they go stumbling down
the agoniZed way to the grave.
These words are not for them, but
for that multitude of men and
women with whom sickness is mere
ly a graft, a camouflage for selfish
ness. and a blanket excuse with
which they cover up all their sins
Of omission and commission, and thai
furnishes them perfect alibi fol-
doing everything they want TO dc
and leaving undone those things
which they do not wish to do.
Ninety per cent of all the sickness
in the world is voluntary, or at least
contributory negligence. People are
sick because they are not willing tC
make the sacrifices to keep well.

Our Birds i'm Verse
GOLDEN.CRESTED KINCLET.
By Henry Odys.

Like to the tap of falling leaf,
Pin-points of music press
Light as the footsteps of thief
Upon my consciousness.
SO vcntriloquial the notes they seem
Elusive as the faces of dream
Dropping. dropping, dropping still
Into my ear,
Now there. now here
Bright flames Of autumn everywhere,
Save that yon hill.
So brown and bare
Its summit level doth supply
A dado to the sapphire sky.
Dropping. dropping dropping still
A squirrel chatters in the trees
A jovial band Of chickadees
Loiters and passes on
nuthatch pauses at the rill
With little squeaks to drink his FILL
And then is gone.
Still drops that lightly dripping tone
From an invisible source until
Guided it seems, by chance alone
The seeking eyes their quest fulfill
Now high. now low. the midget flies
From willow base to maple crest
= ana back to EARTH with ceaseless zest
Exploring, poising hummer-wise-
happy spirit of unrest.
Thou scrap of feathers, southwark led.
With orifamme upon thy head
BE welcome as our winter guest
Ill summoned to thy boreai nest.

and lift and raise our burdened hearts
toward heaven. Soft shadows fall about
us. Peace and a great content dwell
within us and we sleep as little chill
dren sleep-in forgetfulness and with
no care of the morrow.
We offer to God our thanksgiving.
We are the children of earth; thrilled
by it's beauty, challenged by its mystery,
humbled by its power and inspired by
its glory. We rejoice in our daily liv-
ing. We bow this day in gratitude to
the Creator
For the gift of life we are, humbly
