Watch Capes! They
Are Smart Fashion

Many of the smartest suits for
spring are definitely cape-conscious.
Some of them are styled with long
dramatic capes (giving you a grand
wrap to wear with your other spring
frocks); others are topped with
smart and brief postillion capelets,
then there are the very British
looking capes which are quite swag-
ger. The cape suit in navy blue
makes special appeal.

A TRIBUTE TO MOTHER


There is no one we love better than
mother
Who cares for us all both sister and
brother,
Who would bear a sacrifice in any way
So tomorrow would be happier for us
than today.
And if anything should happen to one
If us,

fuss.
So may to one we love always have
cheer.
And health, love and happiness

WHY THE FLOWERS DIED

WHY THE FLOWERS DIED
t was autumn when the flowers died
The wind howled and the trees sighed;
The birds flying South told lovely
stories
Of butterflies. bees, and the suns great
glOTIes.
The wise old oak gave away his leaves
To Jack Frost to do as he pleased;
But the flowers died in shame and pain
When all they needed was sun and
ram.
