should ring in our hearls and

for the world it would be if the
Christmas spirit of peace sand

ull every day of the year. And
what a beautiful place this
world would be to live in. And
it might ‘be so If each one of us
would resolve in our hearts that

All the straws show the tendency
toward 1812 and 1830 in street clothos,
borrowed from the men and not the
women. One of the smartest new blue
cheviots made for the south has a
coat that looks like a daguerreotype,

The introduction of dull gold and
silver buttons, flat and large, on these
early nineteenth century street cose
tumes, make the resemblance to the
mens apparel of other days even more
significant. It is now only a step to

rufiled front, the high cambric collar
that stands out from under the chin,
