These are exceptionally small or un usually large, as compared wfth the spring styles. A smart model for evening wear Is made with a silver metal crown and rather narrow brim.

JUST BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES I V n. n k MORNING PRAYER IN THE morning, when I wake, Out of bed I rise, And to God this prayer I make, Kneeling with closed eyes: Father, dwelling everywhere, Help me in this morning prayer For the long day to prepare. Thou hast kept me by Thy might As I slept all through the night, Keep me ever in Thy sight. Give me all that I may need; Let my eyes no evil heed; Make me kind in word and deed. All I love, bless and defend ; Be to them a Guide and Friend; Aid in weakness to them lend. As Thy Son lived here with men, May we live as He did then; In His Name I ask. Amen. Copyright. JIMMY SOUTH BREEZE Whoever wants to be a nice, quiet, proper little breeze and do everything Just as their mothers Bay can juat do so; I won't, so therel" and little Jimmy Southbreeze gave himself a flop and settled under the pear tree. "So sol" exclaimed his father, Mr, Southbreeze, "then we know exactly how you feel about It." "Yes you dot" declared Jimmy, with a great deal of energy for to tell the truth he was quite disappoint ed to find his father so calm. "I'll scare my mother, anyway," he decided and he meandered around to where she was resting under the eaves of the big barn. "I'm tired of minding and doing things properly all the time, mother, said Jimmy, "I'm going to do some thing bad bad!" An Jimmy blew the words out so positively that two little sparrows thought a storm must surely be coming and they flew away to their nestsl "That's all right. Jimmy, dear, I guess it's just the heat that bothers vnu." renlied Mrs. Southbreeze placid ly. "You go ahead and do whatever you like, and maybe you'll feel better" Oh, dear me, but Jimmy was angryl If any one thing made him crosser an anotner u was m nave m other talk to him as if he was a eny-tiny baoy insteaa oi a Dig, rong, neaitny urcec aoie io uo S ana tase care ui uuiiacm be afraid of me," declared Jimmy, and he started on a journey in search of trouble. Now usually if you search for trouble you can find it easy enough, but Jimmy had very bad luck he simply couldn't find anything bad to do. You see he had been such a nice, proper, helpful little breeze for so long that no one even guessed he was looking for trouble and wouldn't even believe when they were told stupid things! The baby birds thought he had come to help them and they wel comed him joyously; the sunbeams thought he had come for a frolic, the flowers asked him to stop and play. "No no no," shouted Jimmy Southbreeze, "I've turned over a new leaf I'm hunting something very bad to do no time to play today!" and he blew away as fast as ever he could. But they didn't believe him not they; they knew Jimmy! They said to each other, "Let's just wait and see what he does." And if you wait, too, you will hear all about it tomorrow.

It seems years, instead of a bare two months, since that sunny summer morn ing whpn I sailed away from Southamp ton dock with a big lump In my throat, my wordly all In my shabby trunk, $10 tucked away In a corner of my shabby mourning frock, and a despciate deter mination to make good In the new nnd wonderful country to which I was going.

But there Is addrd strength nnd resolution there I must begin my tale In earnest now, and away with sentiment. In my life there can be but llttlo room for that. I am a worker, and must cease to dream. My childhood was a happy one. and, be ing happy, was uneventful I was an only child, nnd In spite of much petting re mained comparatively unspoiled How well do I remember those old happy days In the English seasldo town. My father, a country doctor, was so busy that I larelv saw him, but my mother was my constant companion, and I Idolized her She was the kindly sh.ner of my jos and of my sorrows, a real friend and com panion. The first break In my life was nt the age of 15. I was sent oft to boarding school In London, a quiet, unpretentious, middle-class school, where for two years I was a pupil. Dut In that sheltered havn wo saw but little of London life Occasional visits to the opera were a wonder and a glory the myriad slltterlng lights of Shaftsbury avenue and Picca dilly, tho crowds of beautifully gowned women and their conventionally garbed male escorts, the swarming taxis It was all so wonderful The green beauty of Kenilngton Gaidens oi Regent l'nrl; was n favorite haunt for our afternoon walk, and I shall never forget my llrst glimpse of the King and Queen, then Prince and Prim ess of Wales, outsldo Buckingham Palace How beautiful sho looked with her golden hair, blue eyes and delicate complexion' I fancied that h smiled at us school girls, and we all loed her. But a shadow fell on the'-e happy days. My father, tho hard-worked doctor, died suddenly, bequeathing to mv mother and nrs a mere pittance, and a little cottage he owned In the south of England, in the hart of beautiful Sussex There we took up our abode. I was bareh 17 then. At first I found tho peaceful village life, a llttlo dull. But I soon grew accustomed to our quiet existence and mother and I vegetated happily there. Hooks, our piano and long walks on the Sussex downs were our hobby. Oh! the beauty of tho rolling moorland, with Its clumps of trees and tho lazy cattle resting beneath Its hum ming insect life nnd Its beautiful English Mowers For seven jears thesa things al most satisfied me.

SMART STREET COSTUME IN SILK AND VELVET but few, and most of these were married. In our seven years thero I had but one proposal of marriage. He was the village apothecary, he sang In the village choir, he squinted drendfully, and I hated hlml But I had Just one vestlgo of a love affair the year before mother died, when I was 23. At a neighboring cottago that summer on artist arrived. Not a professional artist, but on amateur one. He stayed six weeks, and ho made a painting of our little cottago, with th roses and honey suckle clambering over Its whitewashed walls and peering inquisitively in at the latticed windows. He thought It all beau tiful. Many a day he took afternoon tea with mother and mo In our small garden overlooking tho rolling downs. I thought him very good looking. He was curiously attractive, tall and dark, with a certain odd Intonation In his deep voice. "Ellen Adair, you strange child," said he to mo one day, "some day you will wake up and jour soul will grow. You will not alwnjo stay here; one day you must leatn the realities of life. Live, up to the highest always, You have great possibilities." I remember a strange thrill went through me at his words, and Just then a lark rose from a clump of bog mjrtlo nearby on the moor an soared, carolling her heart out, to the very heavens. It seemed emblematic of his words, "Lhe up to the highest nlwnys"' And the artist man le.ined back In his chair nnd slowly quoted tho great words of Bi owning: " 'The lark's on teh wing 'God's in his heaven. U's right with tho world ' Remember that always, little girl," said he 'When things go right, and when things go wrong God's In Ills heaen, all's right with the world!" i :- ACROSS THE COUNTER The autumn and winter suits displayed by the. shops show a number of features thnt stamp them definitely as the product of tho season. The plain coat and skirt that looked well from year to year Is a thing set apart for sports' wear. In this fashion era, and ab solute simplicity of cut and design Is mo nopolized once more by the mascullna sex. When the tide turns, however, woman will, no doubt, appropriate whatever pleases her fancy In tho tailored line. liut now, the coat Is cut not of many colors, but with so many variations that It Is hnid to know Just when a coat Is a coat nnd not the upper part merely of tho costumo. The sash Is often the line of demarca tion and tho coat ends In a wide flaring skirt, that at a distance resembles tho tunic. In reality. It Is the redrngoto adapted to present modes. Among the blue suits and blue seems to hold its own In popularity there aro many to be found In good cut and ma terial for J20 and 525. These are offered bv the well-known department stores.

There Is, n distinctive quality of fem inity about many of tho present modes, something of the charm and graco of a bygone day. That this can bo achieved without loss ot the practical Is well Illustrated In tho street costume shown today. It Is a combination ot silk and velvet, velvet for tho collars, buttons and ribbon sash, but It would bo qulto as effective In serge or cheviot, Tho basque, th basque girdle tho seml basquci wo nre ringing the changes, but Iho motif Is the same for morning, nftcr noon nnd evening wear. Tet Us severity Is modified In almost every Instance to conform to modern standards. This gen eration refuses to be baokrammed nnd boned into Immovability and a higher value Is set on supple muscles than on n bed I co without wrinkles. Here, the basque Is buttoned down the front qulto plainly, but the fulness that starts at tho side seam Is one of tho Innovations of the present day modiste. The stiff high collar shows the trend away from tho low-necked blouse. There Is a decided movement this season toward restoring the collar to Its place and to doing away with tho open-necked blouse. Here, happily, wo have n compromise. It is buttoned qulto high, yet enough of the throat is free for easo and comfort The long sleeve, that comes not only over the wrist but almost to the knuckles, is In evidence. It Is a dictate of tho fashion authorities from which there la no reprieve for tho present. The sash, that appears at the back or the aide or front In nine out of ten costumes, Is a narrow llbbon affair In tho Illustration. It Is tied loosely nnd falls Into place naturally over the skirt proper and be low the basque. There a Is particularly graceful adapta tion of the tunic. It Is open In the frnM showing the underskirt. It Is giu-hii full and only a few Inches shorter the! the tires. n Judging from tho model frocks .. hlblted atyl from tho costumes dcslenM by the shops for the general nUh f. we aro reluctant to part with the tu u It has been on tho carpet for so Ini. that one wonders. Whether women joy wearing something that dangle. ." superfluity to tho net of being clad'. whether It really Is becoming to VSi and short and thin and heavy, Is R .,' ter to bo decided In the future when i! has given away to something else Hut the tunic Is hero In every sj,.,,. and form. Perhaps one of Its charm, for the many lies In the fact that I can be made at home by the skilful amateur. ul Tho illustration shows so effecllvelT the fashion notes of the season that it would make an excellent model for th. college girl or even schoolgirl.
