Fashion-Wise Use
Bright, Cay Colors

This is developing into a season
of gorgeously gay colors. The
tweeds for coats and suits were
never so strikingly colorful. Plaids
have gone on rampage of color.
Feathers on hats f1aunt color to the
limit. Accessories are riot of eye
binding color.
In costume design a play on color
is being made that is startling in eff
feet, but the bold handling of con
trast colors is one of the most fas.
cinating gestures fashion records
this season. For example, it is chic
for dress to have a neutral colored
shirtwaist top, with a skirt which
introduces panels of vivid colors.
Such a dress could be made of pale
beige with sections of scarlet, Irish
green and royal blue.
The new black frocks achieve their
dash of color with yokes, vestees or
front panel effects made up of green,
cerise and purple crepe. Dare as
much color as you please and you
will be none too colorful this season.

Ever since he had come to the Green

There is apparently nothing left

The underlying thought that controls
apparel design for youth in these

a wonderful nose that if should

Now Old Man Coyote had three

Of these Farmer Browns Boy set a
trap, cruel steel trap with wide
spread jaws to seize Old Man Coyote
by leg. To each trap was attached
a chain, and the end of the chain
was fastened to a heavy stick of
wood. The sticks of wood Farmer
Browns Boy buried just under the
surface of the ground, and he sifted
the sand and dust over the chains
and traps themselves so that they
could not be seen. When he was
through you never would have
guessed that there was anything
there. Then just as carefully he
set more traps in the little paths by
which Old Man Coyote was in the
habit of going from and coming to
his home.
Nov, Bowser, you'll have to stay
away from here or you'll be getting

he looked at his completed work
with satisfied air.

continued. 1T seems kind of mean
to put traps right in his doorways

No, sir, I don't like to do it. I
wouldn't if it wasn't for those ducks
and chickens. I just can't afford
to raise 'em for a good-for-nothing
wolf. If he had known enough to
leave them alone wouldn't have
had to do this. You understand,
Bowser, I'm not trapping him for
fun, but because we've got to get
rid of him. Now I think we'll go

That implies what we all know
that there is no accounting for what
1.-The electorate may do in any given
situation. Facts, reason, vision, prlil-
ciple, may all play their part, but
so do ignorance, prejudice, and pas

Ifusing doubts are marks OF soVereigns
