Mother,s Love

Dawn awakened from slumber deep
A mother and her young upkeep.
sturdy blue-eyed boy of ten
Her only JOY her little Ben.
Father had died two years ago,
Leaving her sad and spent with
But she had worked hard and smiled through tears
To raise her to mature years
She sent him off to school that day
And merrily he went his way,
Saying Hello" to all he met
As he walked the pavement wet.
Looking around that his small feet
Wouldn't get wet - he crossed the street.
And he crossed, there men,
In a that hit little Ben,
They DER him, then fled away, 49, - 49,
And death took Ben with him that day.
How do you think that mother felt
When that bad to her dealt?
For when they killed her little boy,
They killed her love- her life her JOY

FEATURE Wells in
MODELS FOR AUTUMN

Wells which not only cover an en-
tire hat but the face and the Shout
ders are the most striking feature of
many advance fall models.
The large mesh veil which is dot
ted with chenille is the favored type
for wear during the daytime, but
there are some handsome lace wells
to wear for more formal occasions.
Most of these wells are circular in
shape and are thrown over the high
peaked crowns of the new hats so
that their draped edges extend well
over the shoulders. Sometimes they
are placed over the head before the
hat is put on so that the part which
covers the crown of the head serves
as crown for the hat.
Another type Of veil, also circular
in shape, has the center cut out so
that the veil fits around crown or
edges the brim of hat. 1t usually
is worn to give a downward sweep
at the back, frequently extending
halfway to the waistline.

deep, roomy pockets and broad
lapels, hang straight in front and
have a full swing-intofolds backline.
Checks, stripes and monotones are
the gay themes that sing to riotous
color tunes. Consciously fashioned
for nonchalance, these wool tweeds
are Indifferent to the hard knocks
of travelling and they never know
the meaning of wear and tear. The
model shown to the left TALES with
this description of what casual,
practical travel coat should be. The
tweed so expertly tailored with wide
rounded lapels, deep patch pockets
and wide turnback cuffs in this in
stance is in brown, rust and white
check. It is worn over beige
featherweight knit wool frock with
brown hand-knit scarf.
Lustrous fleeces are very good
this season, especially in the polo
coat style. No camping jaunt,
motor trip or ocean voyage is COM
plete without one of these sturdy old
reliables in either white or natural
shade. Cut just like those made
for the men-folk with deep slash
pockets, tab cuffs and vent back, a
coat of this type should be included
in the wardrobe of every woman
who expects to run into damp winds
or who will spend any time in a
"don't dress for dinner" region. The
double breasted polo coat pictured
to the right is a classic. OF light
weight wool fleece, it is styled with
raglan shoulders, vent back, tab
cuffs, stitched slash pockets, wide
notched revers and wide self belt.

Watch crowns! The advance fall
hat fashions declare that height is
the chief aim of designers. The
three types that lead the millinery
procession for midseason and early
fall are berets, toques or turbans
and the hat with a brim that takes
an abrupt turn up at one side re-
vealing half of the couture. There
is no doubt that millinery fashions
are tending toward the extreme,
and they are also very versatile.
The three silhouettes pictured con-
vey an idea as to important mil
linery gestures. The high draped
toque at the top is significant of
the future. The beret of velvet is
featuring as smart midseason
number, and women who lead in
fashion are wearing them with their
summer frocks at this time The
dashing high-side-brim hat is some
thing to look forward to since mil
liners are featuring it in various
moods often with rather spectacular
feather trims.

Morgan Horse Dates to 1898

The line of the Morgan horse goes
back to 1893 when the sire of the
breed, Justin Morgan, named after
a farmer who bore that rame, was
sired. Morgans are noted for their
ruggedness, style, courage, intelli-
gence and general usefulness both
in harness and under the saddle.
For years they have been used as
remount stations by the army. In
the United States many of the great
trotters and saddle horses carry
Morgan blood; and on the Western
plains they have been crossed with
native range stock to produce good
"cow horses" Morgan blood also is
scattered in other parts of the world.
Morgan horses have been sent to
Japan, China, Central and South
America, Canada, Cuba, Puerto
Rico and the island of Guam. Wher-
ever they have gone they have left
their mark.

NJ W is the time of year when a
~ midseason coat becomes a
wardrobe requisite. Much is de-
manded of this coat. 1t not only
has to round out the summer season
with a perfect touch but it is ex-
pected to usher in the new fall sea-
son with a proper style flourish.
Then, too, it must be not too heavy
weight for immediate wear and not
too lightweight for autumn COM
fort.
1t is with cunning awareness of
all these ''musts" and Unjust nots"
of midseason coat that versatile
designers fell into step, cutting ca
PRECIOUS capers with tempting
tweeds and featherweight f1eeces,
also with soft lightweight woolens.
White and pastel wool coats, al
ways important dots on the summer
landscape, are especially good style
this year being as popular for wear
in town as in the country. The wide
variety of weaves and patterns in
these lightweight monotone woods
has added much to the style interest
in these casually correct coats. The
white, buttonless, three quarter
length full swinging swagger coat
centered in the illustration is the
sort you treasure, for, accompanied
by a matching skirt, it makes a
most practical and stunning cos
tune to wear when weather is fair,
be it a midseason or warmish
autumn day. To add to it's prac-
ticality this coat may be worn
over summer dresses and the skirt
may double with delightful contrast
ing lightsome wool sweaters.
A weekend vacation calls for one
of the soft, well-tailored wool tweed
swagger coats of three quarter
length. Casual and comfortable it
must be. 1t should be styled with

Rock Dunder Bombarded
by British Fleet in 1875

Strangers who visit the Lake
Champlain area and take the trip
across the lake invariably inquire
what that peculiar object is which
rises above the waters of the lake
several miles from Burlington.
1T is Rock Dunder," they are
told, relates a Burlington, VT, cor
respondent in the New York Times.
Then this story, which is accepted
by local residents as the origin of
the name, is told:
On October IL, 1776, a British fleet
sailed up Lake Champlain on a
close watch for American ships. The
British encountered the little fleet
under Benedict Arnold near Valcour
island and a spirited battle ensued.
The British ships were far superior
to those of the Americans in size
and carried heavier guns. The little
American fleet was badly battered.
After nightfall, and in thick fog,
the American ships slipped through
the lines of the British and escaped
But at some time during the night
sentry on one of the British ships
called out that he saw a ship
through the fog. Knowing that no
British ship lay in that position the
British commander thought Arnold S
fleet was trying to spring a surprise
attack and ordered his guns to open
fire.
Throughout the night the British
guns doomed internationally. The
strange "ship" remained in the

What You Seek

Have you ever thought how
many objects you pass without
even noticing them; how many
voices and sounds fail to register
with you?
1t seems that one usually sees
what he is looking for and hears
that to which his ears are attuned.
Perhaps this is what Emerson
had in mind when he said that no
one brings back from Europe any
thing which he did not take over
with him. Excluding merchan-
disc of course. )-Ohio Farmer.

Uneven Skirt Line Latest
Stvle in Evening Gowns

A Paris fashion house shows a
practical evening gown with short
skirt in front and a definite back
ward dip to a greater length. These
full skirts resemble the carleton
skirts worn by ballet dancers. The
material is gathered into so many
folds that the skirts swing out grace
fully in wide sweeps with every
movement of the body.
These short skirts are far more
practical than f1oor-length ones,
which are likely to get trampled
underfoot when dancing, and their
width and fullness make them
graceful as well as practical.
