Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile

Here is an outstanding coat
for spring. The general silhou-
cite and type has been good
this winter. So good that we
will probably wear it for two or
three seasons more. The spring
version is different in color
and fabric however.
A Popular Coat
This is the Vionnet widely
wrapped coat with slightly fitted
lines that you are familiar with.
It may be worn without the
belt but most women prefer
belted lines. This coat is Of a
spongy crepey fabric called
Wool Ratine." It's color is
beige which makes it extremely
important as beige will be a
leading color later on. 1t has
the sleeve that is wide below
the elbow, another important
point. It buttons over on one
side which fits it better than
if it were loose.
Iceland Fox Fur Collar
The collar Of this coat is the
popular shawl that starts usually
from the waist. It's Of a fur
called Iceland Fox" which is
not really fox, but closely re-
sembles soft baby fox. It's
beige, just a shade deeper than
the coat.
Miss LaVille will gladly
answer any question about this
coat or about fashion If you
will call District $3.50, Extension
165, or write, sending a self
addressed, stamped, envelope.

Good Resolutions

All frst.class New Years resolutions simmer down 10 determination to make the most of ourselves as we are. We live {: We are somebody; we are made for some. thing. Our life has a plan, and any ap. parent failure canoi be attributed to T lack of personal ability.
 The most important part of our capital in life is our time. Let us call ourselves to account for every hour of the day Lei us keep an account with time.
 To lose time is to permit the was;age of thing which has tangible and definite value. It is a nugget of gold unmined There is joy and gain in it.
 There are two very common ways or losing time-by loafng and by misuse. The former. if one is young and husky. is abominable; the latter is deplorablr. There is a great deal of reverie which is mistaken for thinking. Many people are busy" but few are industrious.
 Happily the habit of employing time wisely may be acquired. Time is the stuff that life is made of. It may be long or short, hut ii certainly will. when it is gone, seem short.-Country Home.

RIGHT OF ALL TO BE MERRY
By GERTRUDE B. LANE Editor Woman's Home Companion.

From time immemOrial men have made merry at the Christmas season, even in long eras of darkness, even in the midst of war or pestience, of nal tional calamitles or personal rererses.
 The unconquerable human spirit rises above matters of lesser conse- quenee, to revel in those moments of good cheer which, after all, are what we remember best and most fondly long afterward.
 Dr. Ralph w. Sockman said in ser mon: Tt is the eras of hardship and discomfort which turn mems thoughts to the questions of destiny. They d:s cover anew that the calculations of sci ence and the plans of men are, after all, but ships traversing a sea of mys- tery. But the recognition that life is mysterious does not imply that it is d muddle. The more deeply we look in to human nature, the more we see that the seeming maladjuStmentS of the universe to man show Its fitness for his nature"
 One need not be an adherent of any creed UI ull, lD ilIlu COlillOTl III tlIl. This earth is not the center of the un,- verse. nor indeed is man the favored creature of this earth. But man has attributes which enable him to make the earth his playground and 10 eX- tend his quest for beauty, knowledge and Inspiration even out Into the wide scaces of the universe.
 Mans life Is good life. This world Is good world. Ours is a fortunate land. Nothing that has been visited upon us Is half as harsh as other lands and other generations here have sui fcred. Nothing that happens can pos sibly be enough to beat down a true man or woman.
 We have undaunted faith in those mighty spiritual and intellectual forces of liberty. self government. initiative invention and courage which have driven Us ever forward. And so, in all sincerity and in serene faith, we cry, Merry ChriStmas.''
