The guy upstairs with a pianola
banging away into the wee hours of
the morning will also give you a spiel
on liberty if you hand in a complaint.
The regulation "No Splitting" in pub
lie places is an infringement on the
liberty of some pigs. And when the
average working man delivers a har-
angue on the death of liberty in this
country, you can bet your last dollar
that he is not bowling about anti
labor injunctions, supreme court de-
cisions or the American Plan. No
Stree. He is usually lambasting hell
out of prohibition!
The fact is that there is no such
animal as Absolute Liberty. Where
many people congregate the liberties
of an individual are curbed. Person
al liberty often must be curbed in the
interest Of the liberty Of the great
mass. In other words, liberty is not

In recent years, Congress has twice
passed laws prohibiting child labor
and in both cases the laws have been
declared unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court, despite unmistakable
indication that the people strongly
favored the laws. The child labor
amendment will become part of the
Constitution when it has been passed
by three-quarters of the states and
it win then be safe from Supreme
Court attack.
Debate Precedes Vote
The debate in the Senate which
preceded the vote on the amendment
occupied a large part of three days,
nearly all Of the Senators speaking
on the subject. Southern Senators
marshaled the assault on the amend
ment, some of them quoting Scrip
ture at length in an endeavor to JUS
tify labor by children but all their
eloquence was in vain.
The vote was as follows:
For the amendment:
Republicans Ball, Brandegee,

At half-past seven in the evening
Joan descended from the train at Lam

It was like going home. Joan could
not see her village, which was on q

was only four miles away. There
were the same misty mountains. break

struggling towns. the same fragrance

her those remembrance which a

the touch Of some magician's stave.
The two years that she had spent at
Avonmouth seemed to slip out Of her
recollection.

circle of irregular heights. Now the

New Winter Goats Are
Longer; More Graceful,

Truly the designers and manufac-
turers of fur coats have more than sur
passed their previous efforts. Skins
are handled with cOnsummate skill and
lines reveal grace undreamed of a
decade ago when fur coat was an af-
fair of warmth and comfort but of no
special beauty Of line. While num-
Der of jackets are shown, the coat OF
longer length predominates both in the
less costly furs as well as the most
luxurious. A feature of the new coats
is the sleeve, which frequently is bell
shaped or shaped or formed so that
there is fullness. from the elbows to
the wrists. Seal, both Alaska and
Hudson; black caracul, gray squirrel
and viatka squirrel, mole and leopard
are used for daytime coats, while for
those of sports type muskrat, raccooD
and opossum are chosen. Ermine is
for evening and when bordered with
bands of white fox is ravishingly
beautiful.

Chic Frocks and Coats
for Little Girls Wear

Just because her years are few in
number, let no one suppose that Miss
Six-Year-Old Is Indifferent to her
clothes. In fact it is often surprising
to discover the definite ideas that these
small persons have concerning their
frocks and coats, especially in the
matter of color.
There is a most engaging simplicity
about children's clothes of today and
a certain chic that Is always in keep
ing with the youthful spirit. One no
tees among the latest models a
marked tendency to employ plaids.
These gay materials are used with the
greatest success in the fashioning of
little school frocks.
Al material that is becoming more
and more popular for school and play
frocks is challis which now comes in
most interesting patterns. One design
reproduces amusing little Japanese fig
ures in different colors ON a dark blue
ground.
Small two-toned checks are also
much in evidence and in coIors a
prominent position is accorded shutter
green. The smartest little straight
line coats are developed in this shade
as we'll as demure little frocks of fan
mel or crepe de chine trimmed with
green a bit lighter in tone.

extra yards are so skillfully handled
that one is not conscious of the
change.
Another point brought out by sar.
torial authorities is that there is ap.
parently an attempt to deviate a bit
from the absolutely straightline and
to adjust the material so that the
lines of the figure are subtly sug.
gested. This suggestion of a raised
waistline was seen all summer and
already the question has been raised
as to whether this presages a return
of the high waistline of the Empire
period. 1t will be interesting to watch
developments along this line. Thus
far the new models in great majority
Of cases dispense with the waistline
entirely.

mothers death!
She leaned out Of the window. She
suddenly remembered that the insti-
tute was not many miles from her old
home It would be almost going home
land on the morrow. Joy leaped into
her heart.
Then she saw something that for an
instant chilled the blood In her veins.
Across the street. leaning against the
park ratings and looking up at the
house, was short. square-built figure
of a man wearing a hard hat. She
could not distinguish the face. but
she thought 1t was Myers. And she
remembered his threat.
What did it mean? Bewildered, she
turned into her room again. She half
regretted now that she was to go to
Lancaster.
But in the morning she dismissed
the incident from her mind as a fan
