I've read IN stories all about
The cool inviting streams;
Where one leaves all her cares and

And revels in sweet dreams.
I've reached one, after Drawing

And briers, in pats Of dust;
The perspiration drips the while
I register disgust.
I'm battling huge mosquitoes, as
They bite my legs and arms;
Who said that one could find delight
And peace, in natures charms?
I think the greatest joy that's found.

M. Jones, Inc. would solve the diff

into business have called themselves

of course, still Mrs. John Jones, and
that is the way your visiting cards
should be engraved.

~ LEEVES are important in any
- number of the new Fall de-
signs. Very often the rest of
~ the dress is just a simple lit
tie thing which derives its sole claim
to attention by extravagant sleeves.
Sometimes they are large, gathered
at armholes and cuffs, and there are
all sorts of variations on this theme.
Cuffs extend to the elbow, in some
models, and then, again, are left out
entirely. the sleeve terminating be-
tween elbow and wrist. A great many
of them are raglan, or extend far up
the shoulder line. Many will be en-
broidered or trimmed in some fash
ion. as the season progresses, en-
phasizing the larger silhouette.
In this frock the sleeves are an in
teresting part of the design. although
the dress is by no means subordi-
mated to accent their Smartness. They
are long and puffed softly at the
wrist and are part of the little
yoke which manages the broad
shouldered effect, which is another
good thing to watch in the new
clothes. The neckline has mounted
to the base of the throat in this de-
sign, the soft, rolling collar and huge
bow really giving the effect of just
touch more height. which is very
good The blouse is buttoned from
neck to waistline. gathers furnishing
