‘ THINK or THE GOOD.
)Iaybe you're worn and weary; worn
in the war at trade.
“fury of fault and failure, sick of
the wealth you've made;
But there is this forever,
you lost. or won.
Always you have a comfort—think
o! the good you’ve done.
whether
Maybe the load grows heavy. even
the load that's light:
But there is this forever when you
come home at night;
zlomeone you greeted kindly, some-
one you stopped to save.
Someone you cheered and strength;
enedutbink of the help you
gave.
Often our souls would sickcn, often
our hearts would ache.
It for ourselves we labored. only our
wealth to make:
But when the day. is ended, even the
stars are hid,»
W'hen you are worn and weary.
' think of the good you did. ,
Someone each day beside us, strun-
ger, or friend. or foe.
Needs what we have to give him.
whatever the road we go.
And, when the day is over, then you
will find your fun. -
Not in the wealth you’ve gathered.
but in the good you’ve done.

When in Doubt. Wear Knickers.
Seems to a. the Motto 0' Some
American Women On for In Out-
doors Holiday.
N many summer resorts the
I knickerboclier for women has
become such an accepted tact
that women would scucely hesitate
to weer them to missionary meet-
ings-4t there were any at summer
resorts. Certainly the lnlckerbocker
has been robbed; of whatever it
possessed of deviltry. Fat ladies of
forty wore white linen knickerbock-
era with flesh-colored georgctte
over blouses when they met for on
afternoon of bridge at some 0! the
rsther third-rate resorts last sum-
mer. After that the tut lady's
eighteen-yesr-old daughter put on
n long, long skirt by wsy of sdding
to her own allure.
At smarter resorts. too. the knick-
erbociter was overdone. At several
house ponies where brosktsst or
luncheon wss served on veranda. or
terrsce it was quite the custom for
the women guests to come in
knickerbocker costumes or riding
brooches whether they intended to
ride utter breakfast. take s. cross
country walk or do nothing more
stbletic than write s letter.
The knickerbocker is. however.
still in good repute for any sport
wou- whers a. skirt would be A
hindrance. For winter sports. the
knicksrbocker has long been worn.
Now it comes in interesting guise.
There is s. knitted sksting suit of
taupe wool with n-ooly~ headings st
wrists and throat—cs well as for
hip belt end the cuffs st the knees
of the knicksrbockers.
The sketch shows a. hiking suit 0!
m. worn with knitted scar: nnd
‘hat of bottle green.
' The Hench version of the knick-
srbocker suit is always interesting.
For the French woman is prone to
wear it with a. coat that extends to
knees or nearly to them. Some—
times there is a knee length cape
to go with the knickerbocker suit.
Now she has sought variety in a.
sport suit of a. fairly long divided
skirt—s. "Jupe-pantalon." as she
culls it. There is a. rather loose-
i‘ltting tailored jacket to go with
this skirt—making a costume for
sutumn hunting in rather striking
contrast to the knickerbocker hunt-
ing costume ot the American
woman.

Jim was his favorite nephew.
Some day, it had always,,been un-

a. good position in the company.
Myra. was fortunate. Her little soul
craved jewels and gowns and a seat
at the opera and motor cars“.
And Jim had found it out. That
was the tragedy of it. Jim knew.
And it was too late to go back on
his word. He had to face s lite
with Myra, a. life of disumon. He
foresaw all that. But as for Myrt,

show he had discoveredlt. Only
Dolly’s sharp eyes read Jim's use.
Myra. was too selfish to understand.
And if she had understood probably
she would no: have cared.
“Yofi sec, Dolly. I want you to
look on me as a. brother,“ Jim tal-
