An Old Friend of This City
Who Stills Stands Very High
said these very words:
"Love, therefore, labor; if thou shouldcst not
want it for food, thou mayest for physic; it is
wholesome to the tody and good for the mind: it
prevents the fruit of idleness."
jh"&
Respectfully passed on by
Signed
Philadelphia, Oct. t, 1919.
Some men are ashamed of labor, especially
after they have grown wealthy. One iamind, said
his sons should not have to labor as he did, and
they were left to paddle as they pleased and came
out idlers, purposeless, flabby, floating on the
surface like the jellyfish of the Atlantic, of no
earthly account, while their parents were strong
and full of bone and gristle.
An Italian proverb reads, "He that labors is
tempted by one devil he that is idle by a
thousand."
No man on earth is so happy as the man who
loves his work and goes home at night with a
contented heart because of a good day's work
well done.

The Autumn Presentation of Women's
Fashions Continues Tomorrow
Paris originals and American adaptations suits nnd wraps and gowns all aie showi in an Autumn
Betting. The richness of color and fabric, the charm of line, the novelty of, design and when all else is
said the wearablencss and practicality of the garments, make the collection one to appeal to women of the
best taste.
The evening gowns are usually rather short and straight in line; but there ate exceptions in the shape
of dresses with wired sides and the black taffeta period drr.N from Lanvin. which suggests the old-time
hoop skirts. Beads are everywhere used for decoration it is a season of beads u-ed in innel ways, and of
sequins.
The wraps are magnificent with their embroideries, their elets pnd fins; and the suits, while moie
sober in line and color, are almost equally rich.
' Please note that tomorrow will be the last day of the s-houing.
