One Chance All That
Time Accords to Man

How often you hear dad, or some
other grownup speak, with sort
of half-sigh in his voice, of what
he would do IL he were young
again. Time goes quickly when
you are young, and you are only
too likely TO put off things you
really should do.
Grownups look back on the gold
en- days of their youth as the hap
piest times of their lives, but there
is also something to regret in their
backward glance. There are so
many things they would like to
have done, but didn't.
Unfortunately, time gives US just
one chance.
Let's plan things now, then, so as
to have as few regrets as possible
when we look back from grown
up viewpoint. Let's get lots of
exercise, so that the grownup per-
son we're going to be not so many
years from now may be fit and
strong. Let's not get into little
habits of shiftlessness that will
handicap the future. Instead, let
us all work hard and play hard,
so that when the person we're go-
ing to be looks backward, he'll find
his youth an encouragement, and
not matter for regret.-Ex-
change.

Impress of Old Spain
Left in South America

While Cartagena, Colombia, is
most engrossing architectural ruin,
a legacy of the old Spanish con
quistadores, and a fine example of
an ancient Spanish town. passen-
gers en- route to the west coast of
the United States find that 1t Is
also energetically modern.
The Spaniards, when they en-
barked on their expeditions to the
interior of Colombia, had as goad
behind their efforts, the Indian
story of marvellous golden man,
Eel Dorado, and saw him in their
dreams as they hacked their way
through the almost impossible
tungles. Although the Spaniards
never located their golden quarry
and returned to the coast to found
cities, they did succeed in wrest-
ing from the bosom of the hills a
vast amount of golden metal which
gave to the country the name of
the man they had been seeking, Ell
Dorado. And in the cities they
founded they left an indelible i'm
press of old Spain.

Old Songs Seen, Crude

The nearer we get to songs in
the making the cruder they are.
Very often they are not only incon-
gruous but seem humorous, when
they were NOT intended to be so.
Sometimes they seem callous,
treating of death with what ap-
pears to be an utter disregard OF
fitting solemnity or tenderness. Tn
most cases this is quite unintend-
ed. The humble author intending
to express the proper sentiment
uses materials with which he is ia
miliar, often parts of several other
songs. Or he wishes to use a GER
tain refrain, and this refrain car
ries over into his mind certain as
sociations. What he does he does
In good faith, and IL his product
is not up to our standards it is not
because of intent but because OF
the crudeness of his attempt.-R.

FASHIONS INFINITE VARIETY
SPRlNG BRINGS DASI4ING COSTUMES-AND VERY PRETTY
THINGS FOR THE CONSERVATIVES, TOO

REJOICE with me that spring
clothes may be as romantic. as
picturesque, as severe, or as anus
ing as we like.
For the serious-minded there
are serious clothes that stick to
The conservative shades, such as
black navy blue and brown, and
are all that could be desired. They
have smart lines, clever fabric
manipulation, and as little or as
much handwork as you care to
pay for.
But for the rather frivolous
woman who never takes life very
seriously and certainly couldn't
be ponderous about her clothes,
are all sorts of escapes from the
obvious and conventional.
Foolish hut Effective
There are colorful scarfs with
silly drawings in the corner that
are ever so foolish, but at the
same time intriguing. There are
frocks made of alluring printed
silks covering every form of
decoration from neat little calico
prints to maps OF the world,
jungle scenes and cartoons from
life.
Printed silks are more strongly
entrenched in the vogue than ever
before, and they are combined
with plain fabrics to the adyan-
tage of both.
illustrated today are two typi-
cally nonchalant frocks that indi.
cate a refreshing combination of
impudence and conservatism.
Exercising Imagination
If You look closely at the one
piece model shown here with the
plain blouse and printed skirt, you
will see fascinating scenery that

ticket to the Yellowstone National
Park Immediately.
II has mountains. rivers, and
the typical fauna and fora of the
west, but all is very decorative
and why not give the Imagination
some rourishment from time to
time as well as merely cover the
body?

httingly demure and proper, and

nous painting called 'The Hugue-
not" Is as follows: By order Of
the Due de Guise, issued before st.
Bartholomew day, "all good Cath
olics" were enioined to wear a
white scarf as distinguishing
badge. The young woman pleads
with her lover as she strives to
fasten the symbolic white scarf.
The lover will die in the morning.

is reminiscent of the famous line:

much, loved I not honor more"
