Homework.

One of the werst things about skool
Is homework. Meny fellows think
they haff to lern too much in skool
enyways without running a risk of
overheeting their branes by having
to study more when they get home,
and 1t may be a useful thing to know
how long 1t would take a man to
swim a mile and half if he can
swim a half mile in 80 minnits, but
If you haff to werk 1t out for home
werk you would be jest as satisfied
to go through your hole life and
never find out.
The saddest question enybody can
ask you is, Have you did your home
werk yet? ESpeshilly If the anser is
No. Eny fellow that says they don't
mind doing their homework must be
unnaturel. and eny fellow that says
they injoy it must be a darn liar.
1t is genrelly impossible to get out
of doing your homework, but it Is a
crate releef to even postpone II. Get
ting up erly in the morning to do 1T
insted of doing it the mite before
seems like a exter good ideer until
the next morning.
Your homework is ony for your
own good. so you awt to feel cheerful
about it, but there's lots of things
you awt to do and don't, that being
one of the main ones.
Wen you are back in skool the next
day you feel fearSe if the fletcher
asks you what the stummick is and
you jest stand there looking isnorent
on account OF not having studied your
homework rite, but if you can jump
rite up and say. The stummick is a
pair shaped bag holding about .
| something elts happens to change
your mind.

embroidered crepe. and also with tiny
ribbon bows with long dangling ends.
Spiral panels of knife e-pleated crepe
dropped over the blouse front at each
side. varying the simplicity of it's
straight, unbloused lines. Longer
pleated panels, tapering into points
at the lower edges, were drawn
through openings in two large dia-
mond medallions placed near the
waistline and extended nearly to the
floor
A lovely picture gown for summer
garden parties was of filmy white
lace and net over satin. The latter
material was fashioned into a one
piece slip. while the diaphanous net
yelling alternated with the lace for
the overdress. The gathered yoke,
which gave a slightly rounded neck
lower edge and also extended over
the shoulders to form the tops of the
sleeves. A fold of net dotted with
tiny white heads was attached to the
lowed edge and also extended over
the arms. Then came a wider inset
of lace, divided by diminutive gir-
die formed by a strand of old rose
and silver ribbon. Net and lace again
alternated for the skirt. and the lace
frill at the lower edge extended sew
eral inches below the hem Of the
satin underskirt
The chapeau pictured was of dark
brown hair straw trimmed with moire
ribbons in the same color tone. The
tullelike fabric formed a small crown,
which fitted the head like a cap.
This was almost completely hidden,
however, by three flounces. which, in
addition to yelling the crown, droop-
ed well over the eyes. The effect of
the triple ruff1ing, pointing both up
and downward. was decidedly
piquant. The ribbon strands marked
the center of the flounces and then
fell in a soft spray of many loops
and twisted ends at one side of the
chapeau.
