should prove a timely suggestion

will find types which carry the idea
to the point of contrasting the en-

There was only great danger

saying goes.
It's a wise saying, too-it means
that people act as though they
hadn't any heads with brains in
them at all.
The bell had been a fire bell, and
every one knew it. Soon every one

street.
The teachers were all out, too.
All but one and that teacher was
the one who helped them in their

Any number of the southern re-
sort dresses feature this idea of
contrast. Note how winsomely the
frock in the picture carries out the
idea. Flat crepe in the new star
gold yellow is used for this dress,
the double pointed yoke and sleeves
being of the same material but in
white.
Please to observe particularly
that the kid shoes worn with this
costume are also white, which is a
very significant point from the
standpoint of correct attire for
spring. All through the new style
program whenever touches of white
appear on the dress or ensemble
as the case may be, the shoes and
