Winter Fashions With Checks AppeaI
Capes and Vests
Will Add Warmth

Checks dye-dipped for added at
traction rivet eyes to some of the
seasons jauntiest suits and coats.
Beginning with Woodpecker flecks
and climbing the scale to hound
tooth fize. checks flaunt colors like
red, pu. pie, green and pink; make
outfits with trick suspenders that
do everything but snap. as we'll as
cape ensembles and suits which
have the checks appeal of an old
time gambler.
Good example of the checked
vest, used as a foil for a monotone
suit, is the Hattie Carnegie-designed
model shown at the right. Plum
tweed makes the cardigan-type suit,
orchid silk the blouse, and purple
tened checks the back -buttoned
armhole vest which begs to have
jacket removed.
Red and black make popular
inter-bri9ht checks for suits with
saucy little Edwardian capelets
Which can be detached, and coats
with double sleeves such as the
Monte designed wool topper
shown at the left.

dogs HAVE HEARTS, TOO

This is simple story - that is, if it
Can be called a story at all. Most short
stories end with surprise or mar
riage OF something equally final. This
story doesn't. II has no ending. don't
know when heard it but do know
that I shall never forget it-or Shep
or Tom Adams.
Tom Adams was pleasant-looking
boy He was neither tall nor short,
neither delicate nor massive. He was
we'll, the sort of lad you visualize
when you read about a young Amer
ican boy leaving a small town for the
first time to join the Army.
For that was exactly what Tom
adams was and that was exactly what
he was doing down at the S.P. station
the night this story started.
1t Itwasn't easy for Tom to say good
bye to his father or his mother, or Mr..
Dawson, the SIP. station agent, or
Linda. (Linda was TOMS girl. She
had just given him a wallet with her
picture in it,
No. that wasn't easy. But what was
really tough was saying goodbye to
Shep. There is simply no way to make
a dog understand. Just before he
climbed aboard, Tom kneeled down
and buried his face in Shops thick,
shaggy coat and tried 70 explain to
him that he'd come back soon. But as
the train pulled out the anxious, in
quiring expression was still in Shops
eyes.
R And try as Mr.. Dawson did to hold
him back, Shep raced after the train.
Iii wasn't until the next morning that
he returned home - covered with
burrs and stickers and with two Of his
PAWS cut.
His eyes were dull -. and sadder
than you'd think dogs could be.
And they stayed that way as the days
piled themselves into three months.
Shep never left the house. Seldom
left Toms room for that matter. Fl
nally, he refused to eat. Wanted only
to lie near the foot of Toms bed. The
veterinarian said that Shep was actu-
ally dying of broken heart.
1t was Linda who told Mr.. Dawson
about it. Mr.. Dawson loved Tom just
as he loved most of the young fellows
in the community. That explains how
Shep got his picture on the front page
of the town paper I guess. And how
the story came to the attention of the

Tough to visit Shep.
Shep was lying on an old quilt in
TOMS room when Tom opened the
door. He looked at Tom through half
closed eyes -. weakly attempted to
wag his tail and was attempting to
get up when Tom reached his side.
Gently, Tom patted his head,
stroked his long fur and talked. There
was so much to talk about. And Shep
just lay there alongside of him and
well, the only word for it is-sn,iIed.
Everything was OK now.
And that's the story excepting that
the men in Toms battalion by petit

to recruit Shep as their mascot.
Yes, that's all there is to the story.

today but I know that if they're to-

1t isn't exactly a story of railroad

does point out one thing: Railroads
aren't just trains and tracks and big

who, in the midst of doing the most
tremendous transportation job in his
