BODYBUILDING in the colony began on
that day. The Puritans seem to have
had happy Christmas dinner on
board the Mayflower, though that
was the last for many a year, as any
observance of the day was frOwned

it was as late as 1856, while Nathan

Of railway freight is smaller than a
year ago, it must be remembered that
the distribution of goods during the
autumn of 1926 was at abnormally

drastic curtailment at the end of the

the decrease is accounted for by the

If IT is with doubt and misgivings that
you contemplate the possibility of making
a new coat, this sketch is worth your
study. The style of the coat is the very
newest, with its circular fare attached
across the front in an up-curving line, its
deep pointed cuffs and its long shawl
collar. And since back and sleeves are
cut in one piece surely nothing could be
more simple to put togetherl The shoulder
is fitted very beautifully and simply in
the French fashion with a gusset under the
arm. Suede coating, duvetyn, camers
hair, broadcloth, and other materials may
be used. Made in velvet or coating satin
with lining of metallic fabric or satin
this same style is correct for evening wear.
This young woman is very smart with
her bag trimmed in reptile skin to match
her shoes. The hat, you may be sure
matches either the coat or the fur.
