In its many variations the ensemble
unit continues to occupy h foremost
position in the morieb of fnll and win-
ter. Its ver»ulity is nothing short of
amazing, for apparently no two suits
are iiiike and euch one Mauda out by
reason of its decided chic.
Much of the interest attached to
the new suits lien in the novel tnate-
rlnls used for their development. The
nii>»» striking plaids and striped de-
sign*, which a few years ago would
hove been considered garish nnd con-
spicuous, are chosen and are so skill-
fully handled that no one questions
the wisdom of the choice nnd every
one admires the final results.
As an illustration of the combina-
tion of a plaided material with one in
a plain color, the suit sketched is an
admirable selection. The coat is of
blue which has a large plaid marked
out with line* of yellow. Touches of
yellow kasha trim the coat and a wide
band of kasha appears on the pleated
apron of the frock which is of dark
blue kasha trimmed with yellow.
Quite as smart is another suit
which reverses the order of things
and shows a dress of red and croon
plaid with a coat of dark red trimmed
with squirrel.
EMBROIOERY LIKE BEADING.
A delicate tracery of embroidery
that cloxely resembles fine beading is
a feature of lingerie piade of crepe
de chine and georgette in a lovely
shade of apricot.
NEW ENVELOPE BAGS.
A new version of the envelope bag
Is of black moire with «*urious de-
siisns done in t'hinewe embroidery.
Others nre of leather that is made to
look like moire.
HAND-WOVEN WOOLENS.
tlandloom woolens in striped and
plaided effects are chosen for smart
uport dresses.

sire to be in hi* arms. She was but
a woman, after all!
It was too early In the day, so Da-
vid held himself and resisted tempta-
tion. ajid they swung on out of the
town, and on into the terribly gaunt
Country to the north.
Here, village after village was pass-
ed in more or less miserable condition,
but with greater distances between
them, as the country grew more d
stroved. The evidences of mendi.
the few stones that remained of exist-
ing houses showed, and there were
nmnbera of new shelters, huts of wood
or cement, pathetic touches every-
where of the spirit to reconquer for-
tune.
A mile or tw-o after they had cross-
ed the iron girder bridge, where the
old one was blown up, Duvid stopped.
They had come to a tiny group of
houses rather off the main road, with
the usual cafe of boards, cheek by
jowl with complete destruction. Far
away to the left, but in front of them,
B vast country of devastation met
their view. In 11(21 it had not been
nil tilled, and deep shell-holes and
skeleton trees could still be seen in
many places.
'"In case we are hungry, do let us
buy some chocolate at that little cjife.
I meant to bring some, and I want to
see the inside of one of these queer
sheds," 1.11 line said.
So they got out of the car and en-
tered the door. A dear old French
peasant kept it, who welcomed them
with the usual graciousness of bis
class.
"Chocolate? Mais, cui, certaine-
nient." A comely daughter made her
-appearance, a girl of 15 or 111, whose
souvenir of the war was not so tragic
as that of her elders. She admired
I-nline greatly.
• Bells com me un ange," she said
afterwards. Were there any dug-outs
left to his khowledgeV David asked of
the old man.
Not just here, but some miles fur-
ther on towards (iommecojirt, if you
struck north, it might be. They were
gtay-at-home people, and did not wan-

In this wretched place, Laline was
deeply struck by it.
"They are just as satisfied as if It
were all as it was," she said, as they
got into the car nnd went on, with
their paeket of chocolate safely in
David's coat pocket.
"That is the immortal spirit of
France. They were like that all
through; they never grumbled. 'Cest
la guerre,' they said. Great philos-
ophers."
The road now led through miserable
country, the young, fresh green mak-
ing the contrast of the desolation
more pronounced.
"I feel wc are getting near where I
want," David announced gladly, and
they struck into a side track and went
®n. Black sticks, which had been
woods, cutting sharply against the
»kvlin« everywhere, told their tale.
"Aon can't think what this was with
not a living thing left," he said. "The
ground too full of chemicals from the
exploded shells even to produce weeds,
as it was beaten up by fresh explo-
aions every day."
"It must have been terrible."
When the road became n mere track
and then ceaseil altogether, and the
'broken corner of what might have

FRIENDSHIP.
On mutual understanding rest*
The friendship that survives all tests.
—Farmer Brown's Boy.
Friendship in a beautiful thing.
Without understanding there can be
no true friendship. But with under-
standing friendship becomes a beauti-
ful thing to last always. Bobby Coon
lias a wise little bead. Things which
he couldn't at all understand had hap-
pened to Bobby Coon. He still thought
that that little can into which he had
thrust his paw. was a trap. He still
thought that that trap had been set
by a boy or man. But he knew now
that it wasn't set by Farmer Brown's
Boy.
He was a prisoner in a pen in Farm-
er Brown's barn, but he was a pris-
oner of kindness. Farrner' Brown's
Boy had taken off that awful little
can. He had bound up that injured
paw. He had kept Bobby supplied with
plenty of the nicest things to eat and
he had talked gently to Bobby. Bobby
had thought these things all over.
"Farmer Brown's Boy found me and
saw what dreadful trouble I was in,"
thought Bobby. "He took that dread-
ful thing off my leg. He i» feeding
me well and he has been very gentle.
He would not have done these things
had he meant any harm to me. 1 don't
like being a prisoner, but I guess I
am better off here than I would be in
the Green Forest with only three legs
to use. Perhaps when this leg is well
Farmer Brown's Boy will let me go.
He is very nice. Yes, sir, he is very
nice."
Having made up his mind to this
Robby was no longer suspicious. He
was ready to be friendly. He came
out of his box when he heard Farmer
Brown's Boy coming. He came right
up to the front of the pen and took
food from the hand of Farmer Brown's
Boy. This was Bobby's way of show-
ing Farmer Brown's Boy that he trust-
ed him and was friendly.
Farmer Brown's Boy reached in and
scratched Robby gently behind the
ears. Bobby liked it. All the time
Farmer Brown's Boy talked to him.
After that Farmer Brown's Boy came
as often as he could, and always he
brought something that Bobby partic-
ularly liked. So it was that their
friendship grew, and in a day or two
V.
Farmer Brown's Boy took off the
bandage and gently bathed the leg.
Robby so trusted Farmer Brown's
Roy that he allowed him to examine
that hurt leg.
Farmer Brown's Boy took off the
bandage and gently bathed tne leg.
Then he put ointment on and a clean
bandage. Bobby didn't understand
this at all, but it made the leg feel
better and so he didn't object. The
soreness grew less and less. Each
day that leg felt better. It wasn't
long before he could use it a little.
Then one day Farmer Brown's Boy
took off the bandage and didn't put a
fresh one on.
"That leg is just about all right
now, Bobby." said he. "After you have
used it a little it will be as good as
ever. You probably don't know it,
but it is a lucky thing that I found
you. It i» a lucky thing that I found
you just when I tlid."
Bobby Coon did know it. He knew
it. even better than Farmer Brown's
Boy did. Just thinking of what might
have happened to him made him
shiver. And every time he did think
of it he became more grateful to
Farmer Brown's Boy. So their friend-
ship grew and it was a fine thing to
see.

Jubilee's Pardner
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS
Illustrations by Edwin i
There was not any snow on the
ground to amount to anything when
I let Jubilee down by the rope in bis
teeth and put on my short britches
and things and went out to milk the
dummed brutes; and when I got out
there Hopper was there setting on the
feedbox waiting for me, and it was
not quite daylight yet.
He made me jump. If I bad Unowed
it was him there and that it would
please him to see me jump, I would
have hollered and fell over the milk
pail. We all like Hopper. He said
he came to tell me the Lost Bag of
Tripe was going to hide in the corner
of the high board fence on a vacaut
lot on my way to Younisses with a
sheet and scare me so I would run
myself to death. He'll get fooled.
When I had got home and got my
supper and told my mother I wag go-
ing to Younisses to a Holloween par-
ty, she got a sheet and put It on me.
and got an old pillowcase and put it
over my head so the corners stuck up
like horns; then she made eyes in it,
and my grandfather wet some matches
and rubbed on different parts of it,
and by that time Hopper had came.
Me and Hopper skun out and went
to the vacant lot, and Ave got behind
some old lumber from a bouse that
used to be there, and waited till we
almost froze to death. Then some-
one came sneaking in the vacant lot
from the other side and came over
toardst our corner, and it was the
Lost Bag of Tripe. First he looked
over the fence and then he unrolled
a sheet and was putting it on, and me
and Hopper riz up in our sheets with-
out making a sound, and just stood
there, and after a while lie' got all
fixed, and turned around like be was
looking for a place to set down.
And \ve raised up all of our arms as
they had to bait. They were now
miles from any human habitation, even
the merest board hut.
A battered iron crucifix hung ob-
liquely from a bent iron pole—all that
was left of what had been a shrine.
And before it, when they could see
behind the corner, there knelt an old
orient in shabby cassock, with his
hands uplifted to the sun. which shone
down upon the just and the unjust of
the earth.
David took off his cap, and spoke
in French:
"Reverend father," he .said, "can
you inform me are we near a village,
which was afterwards wiped out,
called 'Etticourt'?"
The old man turned to them and
•ted at them rather dazedly for a
^ a are standing upon part of the
outlying ruins of it now," he answered.
"This was my church—that heap of
stones over by that trench."
His mild and saintly eyes gazed
at them benevolently, and be pointed
to the north. They talked to him for
a while.
ves, the famous German dugouts
w << but a quarter of a mile from here
a< s the field. No, they had not all
fj. A in. The salvage had passed long
ago—so long—but they had left some
undisturbed because he sheltered-
there.
"One is my heritage, where I go
to pray," he quavered. The rest
were in bad condition, and he had
heard the last time some one had pass-
ed this way, about a week ago, that
soon all were going to be filled in,
and the steam tractors were coming
by August.
They could see his poor old mind
was wandering. His emaciated frame
was feeble to a degree. The worn
black cassock hung upon it, but he
was clean and shaven.
Laline's tender heart was deeply
touched. Could not she do anything to
help him? She wondered.
"I have no flock—they are scat-
tered; and Etticourt wbh so small it
will be the last to be rememberpd,'
he said resignedly.
Could he lead thetn to the dugouts?
David asked courteously. It would
be so very kind, as otherwise, they
might wander aimlessly wheu once
they left the car.
The old priest pointeu to the north,
across a comparatively smooth bit of
ground.
"You could drive over that bit, mon-
sieur, and then we must walk. 1 will
show you."
They thanked him heartily, but could
they give all that trouble,, if it was
far?
"I will drive mademoiselle to the
line of stumpf, and come back and
fetch you, reverend father," David
said.
The ancient priest bowed with old
world politeness, and they went on.
When Inline was left nlone for the
few minutes when they crossed the
smooth ground she looked around her.
What an awful place, so lonely, so
isolated.
Nothing £ould be more melancholy
even in the brilliant sun. There were
deep shell holes all around, and a few
hundred yards further on she could
see the beginning of a trench facing
the 'stumps of what had been a wood.

My Neighbor Says
The burners in gas stoves and ovens
often get choked up with grease. To
remedy this remove all the burners
and place them in a boiler full of suds
(after the washing is done) and add
a good handful of soda. Boil the
burners an hour or so, then dry thor-
oughly and replace them in the stove.
This process repeated every few-
weeks will save both gas and time in
cooking.
If soup has been made too salty
add a few slices of raw potato and
cook five minutes longer. The potato
will cbsorb the salt.
In making cake or creaming butter
and sugar for hard sauce always add
a tablespoon of boiling water. This
greatly lessens the work, produces a
fine creamy mixture and makes the
cake more moist.
The bureau drawer may be made to
open noiselessly and easily by rubbing
it with common soap.
The best way to clean an invalid's
room is to rub the carpet all over with
a cloth wrung out of ammonia diluted
with a little warm water, rinsing and
turning the cloth as the dust and dirt
collect upon it. This is far better
than sweeping and raises no unpleas-
ant dust in the room.
The unpleasant odor which arises
from the boiling of cabbages or cauli-
flower may be entirely prevented by
placing a slice of bread over them
while cooking.
Should the knob come off the lid of
a pan or kettle, a screw should bf
slipped through the hole with the head
to the inside of the lid, and a cork
screwed on the protruding end. This
will make a knob that will not get hot
and that can be removed when it bt
comes soiled.

RECOVERY OF
MRS. SPINK
Gives Lydia EL Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Full Credit
Minnesota Junction, Wis.—"I was
under treatment, but nothing seemed
to help me, and I
was run-down and
so weak that I
had to remain in
bed much of the
time and was like
an invalid. I had
pains in my abdo-
men and in the fe-
male organs, and
my stomach both-
ered me. My hus-
band saw Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound advertised, thought
it must be good, and brought it home
to me and advised me to try it. After
taking one bottle I was able to eat,
and after six bottles I was doing my
own work, which I hadn't been able
to do for years. I have a new baby
who is doing nicely, and I am still
taking the Vegetable Compound and
feeling better than I have for four
years. The medicine is surely wonder-
ful and a good thing to have in th«
house."—Mrs. George Spink, Min-

, SUNSHINE SONNETS j
By MURIEL BREWSTER $
We wonder where the well of wisdom lies—
Whether, if earnestly we bend our minds
To each new miracle that science finds
Concerning living things, or earth, or skies,
We'll find our faltering feet set on the way
To where its cool depths gleam. Sometimes it seems
That many paths—too many—lit by beams
Trom far too many suns, appear each day.
The truth is simple; he who learns to know
His own heart fully, and can hold his hand
From cruelty to others, understand,
And love—for him the path will clearly glow.
Self-knowledge, with love's lantern lifted up,
Will teach us how to drink from Wisdom's cup.
till we got done laughing. The Lost
Bag of Tripe was not at the party.
It kept up till late. Then I went
home with Hopper, and Jubilee cum*

something that kluda glode along be-
hind me.
