There's an Engaging Freshness About These New Autumn Stocks
;
As if It Were Its Bridal
the Autumn
puts on its most gorgeous apparel and lays lovingly
its leaves and somp of its seeds and acorns upon the
bosom of Mother Earth to warm the beds of the wild
flowers and to preserve the keys to the forests of the
coming years. -
So do the valleys and hills and mossy banks
of streams with their forests beyond become
transformed into schoolhouscs that mankind may
learn that everything is going on with a careful and
conscientious purpose and in arithmetical order. ,
No one knows all that is hidden in this old earth
and in the sky over our heads, nor has any man as yet
fully measured the capacities of man.
We are endeavoring to reconstruct the
organization of our schools of training and restore
the quality of service that the exigencies of war and
its sudden necessities tore down when so many of our
people were obliged to go.

Why Do People Rave Over Old
Cupboards and Things?
A S a rule they KNOW
fy why, although some
times they find it hard to
explain. As well ask, why
do people read history, or
why do they like to read
novels of old times in
which never a locomotive,
to say nothing of a motor
or an airship, has any
part?
There is good reason for
liking "old cupboards and
things" because they are
beautiful, if one has the
vision, and also they are a
part of history. Of course,
not everybody has the vis
ion, so that for them old
times and old-time things
hold neither charm nor in
struction. But always
there are lots of people
who have the feeling for down to late Georgian. All
such things and usually the pieces are individual

Superb Evening Gowns Betoken

beautiful things in the Gray Salons we aie ure women will say

others. Occasionally one is seen with a train.
There aie gorgcou beaded and sequin dre.-se.-, others of cloth
of gold and gold lace, still others of tinsel brocades, magnificent
satins and other fine silks.
Debutantes and the younger mntions will probably piefei such

has ostrich feather trimming) and the delightful chiffon taffetas
with their old-fashioned quilling and scalloped ruffles.
They are truly lovely, every one of them, and they arc priced
from $77.50 to $450.
