A Graceful, Wrap-Around Coat Of Black juina Is Trimmed With Self Bands and Collarcd
 in KolinskY

A warm top coat of the type sketched today is an indispensable part of ones fall and winter ward robe. If designed on practical, tailored lines. it may be used for both general street wear and motor- ing. All forms of elaborate trim ming should be avoided on a wrap Of this Kind as simplicity is its su st road to chic. It will naturally be richly furred. for this kind Of trimming is the outstanding feature of the new season.
 Tho coat sketched today is slim model Of black julna cloth. notable for It's smart restrained trimming. Bands Of sclf-material In a scroll design trim the border and the cuffs. The collar, of the popular long, shawl type. and tho bands on the sleeves. are of Ko- linsky.
 This practical coat illustrates one of the most popular silhouettes of the season. a narrow. straight lire effect from collar to hem. More elaborate afternoon models ar frequently characterized by a widencd line above the hips. For this type of wrap, as well as for the tweed sports coat. the smartest silhouette is one of straight, un- broken lines.
 This black juina coat has n lux | urious collar of Kolinsky and m trimming of sclf-bands | of the material.

That night when Jack Walach and late supper somewhere, she wore the hat
 He whistlod when he saw her, "Whew! You look as if you'd ar rived on the last boat from Plris" he said. But, do you know. I like you better in the little plain black clothes you usually wear. You're so pretty. Honey Lou, that you don't need gaudy things to set you off"
 Almost the same thing that Mar gret had said!
 But what does either ono of them know about decent clothes?" Honey Lou asked herself. as she and Jack went down stairs to- gether. "Margret always looks like trump, and Jack certainly is no tailor's dummy"
 On Monday afternoon Angela Allen drove down to the mills to take Honey Lou uptown for lunch.
 "Oh, I can't go," Honey Lou said, when she came upstairs and stood beside her desk. T owe you three or four parties now, and" She stopped. She was thinking that all she had was two dollars, in her shabby silk purse.
 If I hadn't bought that hat I'd have enough money to take Angela to lunch," she said to herself
 Then wild thought came to her. Perhaps she could borrow the money from One Armed Annie"
 Ann was getting ready to go out for lunch herself She was put ting the cover on her typewriter when Honey Lou came up to her.
 Ann" she whispered, could you lend me five smackers? I've go. to take Miss Allen out for lunch?"
 Ann looked at Angela, who was sitting on the edge of Honey Lou's desk, gazing down into the court yard below.
 You goin' 10 take Hctty High Hat to lunch, eh? she asked. Well, I must say you're stepping high these days. Ruby Rouge, you're stepping high"
 But she gave Honey Lou the money.
 That was the beginning Of the long friendship between Honey Lou and Angela. After that lunch con Angela came down to the mills two or three times a week.
 Sometimes she drove Honey Lou home. More often they went to tea together at an exensive res taurant.
 I'm going out of town for the summer pretty soon," she told Honey Lou in that soft, satin" smooth voice Of hers. 50 I want 10 see as much of you as I can before I go.'
 The sight Of her wonderful clothes, her silver bags, her rings md her pearls was before Honey Lou'S eyes, day after day.
 And it was only natural that Honey Lou should begin to have what she called a yen" for some 'lothes like them.
 She would stand at the door of Ter clothes-closet. and go drearily | trough the row of plain little | rocks that hung there.
 She would uncork her violet | oilet water and sniff It, wishing hat 1t was some of the heavy i'm orted scent that Angela used on CT dresses. her hair, her handker- hiefs, and even on the insteps of CT stockings!
 "Oh, for Q little purple and fine nen of my own!" sighed Honey ou.

Danny had been travelling now for several days, and he was getting pretty well tired out. You know, 1t doesn't do to do thing too long without change. Everybody needs a rest. They say that work never kills but 1t does If there is too much of it Danny began to look around for place 10 spend a few days in order that he might rest and fresh- en himself.
 Most of the time Danny had been travelling in the marsh, and he didn't find any place that he wanted to stay longer than for q nap. But now he came in sight of something that made his heart jump right up in his mouth for pure joy. He knew what 1t was even from that dis tance. Yes, sir. 1t was a haystack. It looked just like the haystack in Farmer Browns barnyard late in the fall. Danny loves haystacks When he saw this he forgot he was tired. That haystack was still q long way off, but it was . haystack and that was enough to keep Danny go- ing.
 At last Danny reached It. Then he went all around 1t. Never had he seen a stack like this one before. It was on stiIts Yes, sir, it was on stilts You see. it was on the marsh and that marsh was sometimes cov- cred with water at extra high tide. Hay would spoil if wet by high tide. So a great many big stakes had been driven into the marsh, leaving the tops above high water. On these had been built a stack Of hay. It was salt hay. You know the grass that grows on the marshes Is salt, Danny didn't know what to make of this haystack He ran in and out among the stakes and then he made up his mind that this was the best

Madgc Is Rebuffed in Offering Aid to Mrs. Baker.
 Through Mary Harrison's disap- proving comment upon Mrs, Bakers shamming there ran a thread of ad- miration for the woman's histrionic abilities. If the curiousity-rid tourth-floor lodger had planned to fix herself In the young girls inn agination she could not have selec- ted better scheme. acquitted the forlorn woman Of this, however. It was simply her overweening curios- ity which had led her to attract Mary's attention by sham swoon, provided the girls theory of her de- ception were correct.
 You may be right, Mary" I said. smiling at Dicky's young niece. whose eyes were dancing with ex- citement. But, nevertheless, I must go up and ask her If there Is any thing l can do for her"
 You're wasting your time" Mary said stubbornly, and I recalled her words with q grimace when. after mounting the stairs to the fourth floor room where Mrs. Baker lived. I received a grumpy. Vat you vant?" to my knock upon her door.
 T am Mrs. Graham from the sec- ond floor" answered cheerily. Are you feeling better, and Is there any thing I can do for you"
 There was silence that seemed interminable, and then the guttural voice said slowly, distinctly:
 Thank you. You are very kind. But am all right. do not need anything. You will please excoos me"
 It was a dismissal, curt and un- mistakable. and suddenly I had the queerest feeling of something ven- omous-menacing- from that closed room. It was as if I had caught a whiff of noxious gas through the keyhole.
 T am glad you are feeling better" I said. Be sure to let us know if you need anything"

He is another one of those fellows who $ fond of tender sweet Meadow Mice. I'm not tender, but I suspect that Whitehall wouldn't be fussy. I'll move this very night"
 And that Is just what Danny did do. He once more pointed that funny little blunt nose Of his toward home and started on.

The very next morning when he poked his head outside almost the very first thing he saw was Whitehall the Marsh Hawk.

Danny had played hide and seek with Whitehall too many times on the Green Meadows not to know him. Finally Whitehall alighted right on top of that very haystack, and there he sat and sat and sat.

THE RAILROAD LABOR BILL

The Senate seems lndlSpoSed Io seL date for the consideration of the Parker Watson railroad labor bill, in spite of the urgent desire on the part of the railroads and their employees for legislation. It IS about month since the House, after long debate, passed the Parker bill by a substan- tial majority. It has the approval of the Senate committee, and Senator Watson, of Indiana, who is sponsor for it in the Senate, has made repeated attempts to get Spec1flc day set for consideration.
 In the meantime the association of rail- way executives calls attention to the fact that demands for very large increases in wages are now pending, and that the car riers are looking to the Parker Watson bill as method of adjusting the demands thus presented They have the assurance of their employees that the machinery which will be set in motion when the bill is enacted into law will be availed of by those employees for the purpose of adjusting any differences which may arise. Unless this measure or something equally satisfactory alike to en- blowers and employees can be placed on the statutes there will exist no governmental machinery adequate for the purpose.
 In order that there. may be no long drawn-out controversy between the rail roads and the enginemen, conductors, train men and other employees, which would en- tail heavy losses on business and great pub lie inconvenience, 1t is imperative that leg islation shall be enacted before this session of Congress adjourns. It Is seldom that conflicting interests have joined So general ly in the support of a measure before Con gress. In view of the fact that the rail road labor bill is of interest to every citizen, whether he be farmer or capitalist, merch- ant or railway employe, the measure should be taken up in the Senate without delay. If it needs amendment, let 1t be amended; but the Senate should act decisively on the bill before adjournment.

DOCTORS WITS

Dr. Joseph Larkin, of the Casualty hos pital, will not be reported to the Carnegie Foundation as fit candidate for medal, in all probability, but if little Albert Mack grows to manhood he will no doubt honor the memory of the doctor all his life. The baby, only 10 months old, swallowed safe ty pin which had not been made safe. Moth CTS often neglect toput such implements ln- to safety" until they are inserted in the garments they are designated to keep ln place. This particular pin was wide open when it entered the esophagus of the baby. When mother ran into the hospital with the partially strangled child it's chance for life was about one in thousand. It had ceased to breathe when Dr. Larkin inserted his fin ger in the infants throat and forced the point of the pin into his own flesh hard enuf to enable him to withdraw the obstruction. Artificial respiration again set the human machinery in motion and the baby's life was saved, and he was returned to his anxious mother, "as good as new"
 So far as the doctor is concerned the in- cident was "all in a days work" Doctors whose mental processes are of the proper caliber to make them something more than mere "pill rollers" are frequently called up- on in emergencies to get their digits into in stantaneous communication with their brains, and such instances as that recorded in the case of little Albert Mack are not dis seminated through the press by the physi- clan. It is invariably the grateful mother who shouts the joyful news from the house tops.

PETTY NATIONAL AMBITIONS.

It is now fairly clear that Brazil over stepped the mark in demanding perma- nent seat in the League of Nations council and bringing on the Geneva smash-up when her demand was refused. When the time comes next autumn for election of non-per- manent council members it is quite probable that the assembly will simply fail to re- elect Brazil; this nation will not only lose what she reached for but also the position she has held since the league first began to function It is not matter of revenge or resentment; but it is clear that the other nations of the league cannot permit one member-and that comparatively minor one-to hold up business of grave import ance merely to satisfy it's own petty nation al ambitions.

A MATTER OF STUDS

A Mississippi woman found a note in a potato as she pared it. It was from the grower in Nebraska and asked that the con- sumer let him know what she paid for it. He sold to the dealer for $3.25 100 pounds. The lady had paid cents pound for them, or twice what the planter got. That is not the most interesting and pertinent point to the story. Why do Mississippi farmers and small own residents, with their soil and eli mate, have to buy Irish potatoes from Ne braska farmers?
