troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need q medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores

APRIL'S LUCK

"Well," said April, II most certainly
do have luck"
"Now what is it, April?" asked Billie
Brownie.
WELL" said April once more, "you
know March just has the most dread
full time. March is complained about
Dreadful things are said to March and
of March and about March.
"It's a wonder to me March is as
good as March Is when March is talked
about So
II know wouldn't be so good. And
as March has said it isn't March's
fault when Spring and Winter will
meet in March and will talk.
"Spring gets excited and talks much
longer than any one fancied Spring
would talk, and people want to change
and put on thinner things, and then
Winter begins to say something, and
it becomes colder as Winter talks, for
Winters voice is very chilly.
''Then people say:
~"'Ah, it is well not to change in
March,
"They call March treacherous. They
say no one can depend upon March.
Yes, they say all the things that really
are quite dreadful.
"Of course, it is true that March
isn't the month in which to take any
chances with ones clothes, but then
it isn't Marchs fault when Winter and
Spring get so excited.
But this is the joke, Billie Brownie" !"
"Tell it to me-" said Billie Brownie.

QUITS this season have way of be-
~ ing no two alike, for which the
varied use of embroidery is largely re-
sponsible. One is impressed with the
vast scope of ideas expressed through
the medium of hand-stitchery and for
that matter exquisite work is accom-
plished by machine.
So pronounced is the vogue for en-
broidery, modern costume becomes al
most an index to the arts and needle
crafts of all nations and all centuries.
We find our present-day frocks,
blouses, suits and wraps proclaiming
inspiration from sources Persian, Rus
sian. Slovakian, Egyptian, Chinese,
East Indian and almost every remote
corner Of the globe. The figures, de-
signs and hieroglyphics borrowed from
these countries for our decorative
schemes are reproduced In authentic
colOrings and characteristics stitchery.
Sometimes this includes the elabora-
tion of beads, hand-coloring and other
details. The result is individuality
spelled in capital letters.
The charming suit in this picture
displays that note of exclusiveness
which embroidery achieves. Attention
is called to the unique placement of
hand decoration along the sides Of the
coatee at the. back. The high collar,
flare sleeve and bordered skirt respond
to the call for lavish embroidery.
A survey of the advance modes
stresses the prevalence among suits
Of the jacket with youthful flare

broidered model The majority Of

Displays a Note of ExcIusivenes:


an added enthusiasm Is manifest for
Oriental silks, and the more unusual

March:
"'Now, if this were March, I sup

"'What can you say now that it Is

And this friend replied:
"'Why, don't you know that April
always bOrrows twelve days of March?
OF course. and this is one of the days."
"You will always find that there are
about twelve days in April which are
far from being nice, and they are the
days April borrows of March.
""That is an old, old, old saying, and
a very true one.
"Well, when heard that did have
to congratulate myself on my luck"
April continued.
II should say you are lucky" agreed
Billie Brownie. "Such luck l never
heard of before or since"
And said April, "it makes it so
very convenient and nice, for if feel
cross and if l lose my temper and act
badly, no one blameS me, but only
March gets the blame.
"Of course, l don't like to see March
get the blame for everything, and yet
l do have to smile at my luck, my
amazing luck"
! And then April sang this song while
Billie Brownie joined in the chorus af
ter April recited the chorus to him, SO
he'd be able to sing all the words.
This was the song April sang:
april is a month of spring,
April with it pleasures bring.
April gets just lots of praise
On every one of Aprils good days"
Then Billie Brownie Joined in the
chorus which went like this:
'Heigh- -ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho,
April seldom has snow,
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho,
Often with warmth April will glow.
Heigh-ho. heigh-ho, heigh-ho,

alone, and this was the song April
sang:
"April's gay and happy,
Aprl's air is snappy,
Aprl's air is also warm,
April will never do you harm
And if April comes a bad day
April's not blamed for being that way"
And then once more April repeated
