moved and Is easily Numbered.
Pam said she wanted something SIM
pie but effective. and / think she'll
find this model will serve her pur-
pose beautifully. Worn with Q navy
hat and navy lid shoes, Il should
make a stunning costume.
I'm SO sorry 1 have a Spring coat
because I'd just love 10 buy one.
We've some OF the most exquisite
new models in the shop now. Adora-
bic models with short cape collars
falling over the shoulder. Some OF
them are banded in fluffy furs and
some in fiat furs. Most OF the new
coats have some kind OF cape treat
ment. and at least half OF Madane'e
new models r belted. And, by the
way. the smart coats almost all have
even henllines. III they dip at all
they do II Just slightly NJ the back.
There r some interesting models,
too, on the order OF the coat I sent
Pam. These r se~rni-tailored with
lingerie trimming FOR relief.
The only reason why ! didn't send
Pam a cape coat IL because she has
one OF the new suits with a cape.
and ! thought she'd prefer having
her coat different.

choose clothes for other people.
There's 4 coat for every figure. and
they're all smart and beautifully

joyous play and a good laugh. A normal person
turns instinctively to play. Just so long as men
and women love play, and embrace every OPP
portunity to play, old age will be left behind.
There isn't the slightest doubt that play, fun
and laughter are agents Of health. The nerves
are soothed by them, digestion is promoted by
them, the circulation of the blood is quickened
and stimulated. The heart j. made stronger.
Every kind of laughter from a giggle to q
loud "haw-haw," has a favorable effect on the
one who laughs, said DR.. Frederick d. Stricken,
Secretary of the Oregon State Board of Health,
in a recent discussion of the subject. He says
that one of the most favorable influences exerted
on the heart when a person is depressed, is whole
hearted laughter.
