The Bolero Useket. Regarded so a
Likely Fashion for Fell. In of
Zuuve Inspiration.
HE bolero effect. like back full-
T ness, is still 36 new as to be
inorely in the stitges’of‘axlleri-
ment. No one quite knows.» whether
we are going to wear either for
autumn. but a great many people
think we are. The word bolero, like
so many other words bandied about
by dressmukers and merchants, has
been used to designate a good many
things. Of course, it had its origin
in the short sleeveless coat worn iy
certain Spaniards. one of the m st
pit‘tlll‘esquo of the many picturesque
fashions of old Spain.
Now we apply the word pretty
generally to any short coat that
hangs straight from the shoulders
to a. point somewhere about or
bothhe waist. It is usually cut
well aniy in front. The term is
now applied to anything that gives
this short-coated effect, whether it
is a real bolero or not.
There seems to be some more or
less direct connection between the
bolero and the barrel silhouette.
both of which are talked about as
probable fashions for fall. Combine
these two features in bus best e
and you at once see that the so cc
of inspiration of each must have
been the Zunve military uniform.
For the wide. full trousers of this
soldicrly costume cast very nearly
the same shadow on the barrel si‘l-
iloultte of the present day. And the
bolero is of course nothing more nor
less than the Zuave Jacket. ‘
in the history of American milk"
tnry costumery there was a Zuave
uniform too, but when fashion finds
inspiration in tho Zuave uniform it
is of course from that of the French
soldiers, who antedated the Ameri-
can uniform that bore the name.
And the French uniform was in its
turn taken from the usual masculine
attire of the Zuaves in Northern
Africa. .
In the meantime the designers are
doing all sorts of things with the
bolero idea. Sometimes they merely
make a bolero yoke on coat or frock
to simulate the historic little cont.

Lyrics of Life
I,
LIFE IS NOT WHAT WE
THOUGHT
Life is not whet we thought at first.
It never is. We fear the worst.
We hope the best. But. of the two.
We find that neither one comes true.
To youth death seems an awful
thing,
But time has taken half its sting.
To youth love seems the perfect bliss,
But there is something that we miss.
What Joy we found or joy we sought,
This life is never what we thought.
Life is not what We thought in youth.
We find some error in our truth,
.Soms truth in error. loss in gain.
And always roses after rain.
However much we may condemn
The bad, we find some good in them,
However much the good we praise.
We find they have their other days.
We sing of salute, the wicked shun.
Life is not what we thought the
years o
Would prove to be, all smiles, all
tears.
Some Joy we wished we never know.
And find that it is better so.
The heavens thunder in the night,
But morning brings some new delight.
We find this life, though much we
plan. .
A thing to live the best we can.

WHEN SATAN READ! THE l

When Satan sits amid his vapor
And opens up the daily paper.
I often wonder What his views,

I'm ' sure that when he finds the

Are busy quarreling with teachers.
0r teachers teaching lass and led
That God's a myth and faith I. fad.
The Bible something to be slightod.
Then Satan's very much delighted.
When Satan reads that men are
making
aching,
When Satan reads that things on
right '
That once were wrong, that black in
white,
That lnws.ere something made to
laugh at.
Some to obey and some to scoff at.
When Satan sees the latest styles.
I'm sure that Satan smugly smiles
And rubs his horny hands together
And says. no doubt. "What lovely
weather!" \
When Satan finds there is. however.
A play in town both clean and clever.
0r reads some club will meet today
To serve the world some better way.
That someone of his wealth has
given.
Tlint from the town some crime is
driven.
That there is someone teaching youth
That sin is wr ng and God the truth.

squire. Very proud, very aloof. very
devoted to her husband and her little
son.
When John Martin died she idoiiged
Henry. That was the trouble. They
were too much alike, too proud. too
stubborn. Then they had querreled.
”If you marry that girl you need

“I shall. marry her," answered
Henry. ‘

One Daily Face For Listeners
Th3 Radio Lighthouse is a. com-
pare vely recent devplopment of
radio life saving and ship saving at
sea. It grew out of. the radio com-
pose that we described in the Primer
recently.
This radio compass consists. you
remember. of a loop or some other
receiving device that will tell the
operator on :- ship the direction of
any station—ship or shore—that he
can hear in his receiver. It was ap-
plled, in the beginning. by tuning in
on any station that happened to be
on the air.
preaching New York. a ship's oper-
ator could tune in on one of the
New York broadcasting stations or
on the transatlantic telegraph sta-
tions or on any other station that
was convenient and the location of
which was known.
Soon. however. it occurred to many
radio men that tile was I. rather
he rd way to get direction sig-
nal . Accordingly. special radio
transmitting stations have been
erected in many places on the den-
gerous coasts of the world and u-
signed the duty of sending out epo-
ciai warning signals by radio. just
beam of light. These special It»
houses or the radio “bacon.”
A ship equipped with a radio
campus can pick up‘tbese special
radio lighthouse stations. one by
one. just as the captain used to pick
up the lights byeye. In this my
the position of the ship can be de-
termined. even in the densest fog cc

BIANCA
tech to any name than that of
the exquisite version of Blanche.
Blanca signifies "while": it comes,
of course. from the French blane
representing the absence of color, or
opposite of black.
The first historical character who
bore the name from which Blanca
was directly evolved was Blanca of
Navarre, the Queen of Sancho lV of
Castillo. from whom it was bestowed
upon her granddaughter. the child of
Eleanor Plantagenet. whom her
uncle. King John. employed as the
lure by which Phillippe Auguste was
detached from tho support of Arthur
of Brittany. The treaty stated that
Phillippe should wed one of the
daughters of Alfonso of Chstille; the
FEW more romantic histories nt-
choice was left to the ambassadors
and they, disliking the sound of the
name of the elder sister, Urrsca,
chose Blanca as the bride of Phil-
lippe.
Blanca. or Blanche of Castillo. as
she is recorded in history. was the
first and best of the many Queen-
l'egents of France. Her name be-
came very popular in that country
and spread quickly into Italy as
Bianca. Though England adopted
Blanche. also. Bianca soon acquired
vogue and is now regarded as Eng~
llsh rather than Italian.
The ruby is Bianca's talismnnic
gem. It is believed to bring its
wearer courage. wealth, and good‘
health. Monday is Bianca's lucky
day and 2 her lucky number.

Both expressions are correct. and;

The matter of naming the tenses!
