THE PRAIRIE

a NDREWS was born in New Eng
land and was thirty years old be
fore he had been west of the Hudson
river. Even now, after dozen years
on the prairies of Illinois, he still goes
back to his native state to spend his
vacations, and cannot say enough in
praise Of the little mountains of New
Hampshire.
He has no use for the prairies. He
finds them monotonous, stupid, and
uninteresting in spite of the fact that
he has never seen a real honest-to-
goodness mountain like Longs, or
Rainier. or Robson. He's been playing
with baby mountains all his life, and
he can't see anything else.
/, too, enjoy the grandeur of the
mountains. A high mountain is al
ways challenge TO me. ! am not es-
pecially fond of hard work, and yet
am never satified when / see a noun
tain, until have toiled up its ascent.
Mountain air stimulates me, mountain
heights inspire me, and yet l have a
certain feeling of being shut in. l am
opposed by the lack of freedom;
want to climb up and see over and out.
After time mountains make me want
to get out into the open where l can
see things.
| was born on the prairies, and no
matter how far l wander, | am glad
to get back to them. The city stiles
me, mountains seem to close round me /;
the ocean terrifies me when / think of
it's depths and power. The wide
sweep of the prairies give me a sense
of freedom which / feel nowhere else.
"But the prairies are so monoto-
nous" Andrews asserts.
You haven't seen them, then, as
have as boy, when in spring they were
purple with viOlets and phloX, and in
autumn gorgeous with sunflowers and
golden rod and Kansas gay feather.
There was changing color every day
in the great sweep of cornfields.
There was nothing to obstruct the
view on the prairies. We boys used
to climb on top of the barn and see
where the earth met the sky at an
unbelievable distance. When the
horses wandered away we could see
them ten miles off without difficulty.
One of my greatest joys was to
watch the burning corn stalks in the
spring when the farmers were getting
ready for blowing. They made the
sky bright for miles in every direction
Nothing aroused more excitement than
the prairie fire leaping through the
dead grass and threatening to destroy
everything in its path. There is moth.
ing monotonous on the prairies, and
there is a freedom which 1 find no
where else.

extremes of last season. Fifteen inches
off the ground is about the proper
length.
Elaboration and a more feminine at
mosphere to the new models obviously
go hand in hand. The very boyish bob
and an inartistic mannishness affected
by some Paris extremists during the
summer led many to believe that Sc
we're manniShness was to be the guild
ing spirit of autumn fashions. AS has
been frequently pointed out, the ten
dency of the mode in smart circles
was and is distinctly toward maturer,
saner and more feminine styles, and
the severe Golf was last summers only
real evidence of mannishness, save
among some biZarrists who carried
little authority. At any rate the au-
tumn offerings are more frilly than In
many seasons and there is every indi-
cation that increased elaboration will
meet with favor among the minions of
the mode. For in the ranks of fashion

in the stately salons of the Rue ST.

Both coats and dresses are fuller
