 suit from Drecoll-Beer sub'ly introduces the motif in a stunning
 manner. Two shades Of pink. the most feminine color in the world
 after all. contrast with black satin in this lounging suit. The tapering black trousers are devoid of any trim. They are frightened considerably by the pink slippers worn with them. The coat of the paler shade of pink satin carries the trimming for the whole suit. A deeper pink ! joins both gold and silver dots
 to richly embroider the border to the coat and cuffs that extend
 almost to
 the elbow. Stripes s of gold and silver, on black. edge it. The gleaming coat is tailored very smartly, with a simple shawl collar.

SAMMY JAY BRINGS NEWS
(By Thornton W. Burgess1

Look out for self but also try To warn your friends ot danger nigh.

New Britain herald., 1929-04-19

The Black Shadows Of the night had fled. At the very first ray of daylight Honker the Goose and his flock had awakened. They Were rested and refreshed. They were ready. if need be, to continue their journey toward their distant homo in the Far North. They swan about. They made their toilets. But all the time Honker, with head held high and sharp eyes watching the shore. kept guard. There was a lot of gabbling among them. for Geese dearly love the sound Of their own voices. They are social folk. They like to talk things over. And they were ready for breakfast. They remembered the corn that they had found the evening before and they were eager to go look for more of it.
 Honker, however, would not let them. He was waiting He knew full well that at time like this nothing is lost and much may D" gained by waiting, He wanted full daylight before he allowed any of his flock too near the shore. He had led them all the way up from their winter home in the Sunny South without the loss Of single member of the flock and he did not intend to lose one now by careless ness. So he would not let them go until he himself had made sure that no danger was hidden close by. Wonderfully sharp are Honker's eyes and he wanted light enough to use them 10 the best advanta ge. So he kept the flock waiting and all about it grew lighter and lighter.
 It was just as Honker was about 10 give the word for the flock tO get breakfast that far away in the Green Forest in the direction Of the Green Meadows, he heard the voice Of Sammy Jay. As usual, sammy was screaming. Thief. thief. thief'' hc screamed. Honker raised his head 8 little higher, if anything. Sammy certainly was headed that way. Every time he screamed his voice sounded a little louder. Honker spoke 10 the members Of his flock 'tSNIS tIiFN dI! lilDA'i up 1ilH TFJflI in the opposite direction from which Sammy was approachirg. Presently Sammy flashed into sight and alfgh+- cd in tree on the edge Of the pond

 Sammy Jays eyes tWinkled. Just to let yon know that one Of those two-legged creatures is in the Green Forest and headed this way" said he.

Talks 1o,&622 = parents
A SIMHLI. Oi I.SIION

Certainly it is the voice of Sata n which says to the child through the lips of an adult, Whom do you love best, your mother or your dad?"
 And Satan is at his wickedest when he prompts ore Of the child S own parents to ask the question.
 or course, the parent who asks the child 10 say whom he loves the most IS himself jealous of the child $ preference. Such a parent loves his chlld with posscssiNe love that cripples his development and stands between him and the world.
 The mere asking of such a ques- ton aWakens a train of disturbing thoughts. If the child is made 10 think about if. he usually will be forced to realize that he loves one parent more than the other.
 Al once he is in conflict. If it is his father who asks the question, and fl is his mother whom he loves best, he is constrained 10 lie niserably. or If he is clever 10 make some tactfuI, evasire answer. In any event he is sure 10 feel guilty tnd disloyal to- %ard the one he loves less.
 Perhaps his bad conscience makes him attempt 10 compensate for his lesser love by little acts of special demonstratiNentss. He tries 10 show more devotion than he feels. Love become thing he owes instead Of a free gift. Thus he begins one of the most painful hypocracies in human life.
 II is profoundly cruel 10 make the child measure and compare his af- fections. He should accept them as naturally and unconsciously as the air he hreat hes. Fathers and moth- CTS must allow their children 10 love them each according to the degree and kind of love which each calls forth
