That robbed your willing hands of doing good, That stole your cheerful smile and made to wane Your gentle voice, by babes once understood. Thus thinking of you, friend, _I well recall Your true devotion to our Saviour God, Your loving accents, words "of praise for all, Your only hope, to tread where saints ] . have trod. ^ . And lo, it seems a voice speaks in my soul: Look on the cross, the Son of God in ; pain, Whose agony brought love to earth again. And so I know Higelife reveals* our role: God gives to every man his meed of strife, But he who conquers vgains eternal' life. ? J.8.B.

For daytime wear, including sports, street wear and the like, the average length of the skirt ia from eight to twelve inches, with ten inches being more acceptable to the average womun. The type of costume should be considered, of course, and the more -C becoming length to the wearer selected. Evening gowns are very long, down to the toes in front and, in most instances, lengthening into short trains in the back. A type of frock that has come into popularity in the recent past is the cocktail gown, worn usually in the afternoon and early evening. The length of tHia type of gown is from ankle to toe-tip, according to the preference of the wearer. Waistlines are gradually creeping upward and necklines remain high. Evening gowns show high necklines in front with deep decolletage in the back. To be smart, one's frock must give a very slender appearance. Skirt fullness is concentrated at the back with a closely fitted ^ook in front.
