placecards. White with silver,
gold, blue, red are tops right now.
If you like three color combi
nations, there’s green, white and
gold, blue, white and gold, or
white, red and green.
For an elaborate color scheme
use the rich tones of violet, em
erald, gold, blue and red. This
is especially good in a center-
piece.
Bridge placecards may be
made out of paper chrysanthe
mums in your favorite color with
the card tilting out of the flower.
The white cards may also be dec
orated with painted flowers, or
candy-shaped flowers pasted in
the corner. Evergreen, holly,
mistletoe, bright berries, pine
cones, used alone or with a sil
ver ornament such as a bell on
the place card are sure to bring
delighted murmurs from your
bridge guests.

That ‘Brave Engineer*
C'OUR o’clock of a November
" morning in the year 1941. North
of the little town of Vaughan, Miss.,
the Panama Limited, crack train of
the Illinois Central, slows down,
then comes to a stop at a switch.
Down from the observation platform
on the, rear car steps a little group
of men. They are members of the
American Railway Magazine Edi
tors’ association, en route to New
Orleans, for their annual meeting.
A moment later they are joined
by a few passengers rubbing the
sleep from their eyes. They group
themselves across the roadbed,
around the V-shaped switch. Then
CASEY JONES
in the hush of the “darkness just
before dawn” they raise their
voices in this song:
Come, all you Rounders, I want you to hear
The story of a brave engineer;
Casey Jones was the Rounder’s name.
On a high right-wheeler, he rode to fame.
Caller called Casey about half past four;
He kissed his wife at the station door.
Climbed into the cab with orders in his
hand.
Saying, "This is my trip to the Holy Land.
Through South Memphis yards on the fly,
He heard the fireman say. "You got a white
eye."
All the switchmen knew by the engine’s
moans.
That the man at the throttle was Casey
Jones.
It had been raining some five or six weeks;
The railroad track was like the bed of a
creek;
They slowed him down to a thirty-mile
gait—
Threw the southbound mail about eight
hours late.
Fireman says, "Casey, you’re runnin* too
fast.
You over-ran that signal the last station
we passed.’’
Casey says, "Yes, I believe we’ll make it
though.
For she steams a lot better than ever I
know."
Casey says, "Fireman, don't you fret.
Keep knockin’ at that fire-door, don’t give
up yet.
I’m going to run her till she leaves the rail.
Or make it on time with the southbound
mail."
Around the curve and a-down the dump.
Two locomotives were bound to bump.
Fireman hollered, "Casey, it’s just ahead!
We might jump and make it, but we’ll all
be dead!”
Around the curve he spied a passenger train.
Rousing his engine, he caused the bell to
ring.
Fireman jumped off. but Casey stayed on.
He’s a good engineer—but he’s dead and
gone.
Poor Casey Jones was always all right.
For he stuck to his duty both day and night.
They loved to hear the whistle of ole Num
ber Three.
As he rolled into Memphis on the ole I. C.
Headaches and heartaches and all kinds of
pain—
They ain’t apart from a railroad train.
Stories of brave men—noble and gran’—
Belong to the life of a railroad man.
Their song ended, they climb
back on the “Panama,” which is
soon hurtling through the misty
dawn toward New Orleans.
And thus it was that, 40 years
later and on the scene of his death,
tribute was paid to that “brave en
gineer,” Casey Jones, who died in
a wreck on the morning of April
30, 1900. An engineer in the passen
ger service of the Illinois Central
between Jackson, Tenn., and Can
ton, Miss., he went out on another
man’s run and made up an hour
and a half’s lost time on a three-
hour dash of 174 miles. His engine
crashed into the caboose of a
freight train that had just failed to
clear the main line at the “north
switch” near Vaughan and “Casey”
Jones became a folksong hero.
Born in Hickman, Ky., on March
14, 1864, John L. Jones gained his
famous nickname from the fact that
at one time in his youth he had
lived in the town of Cayce, Ky.
(pronounced “Kay-see”). When he
applied for his first railroad job he
gave Cayce as his home town and
during his six years in train and en
gine service on the Mobile and Ohio,
it was natural that his fellow-work
ers should call him “Casey” Jones.
He entered the service of the Illi
nois Central as a fireman in March,
1888, and was promoted to engi
neer in February, 1890.

Learn to Sew if Your Budget
Is Limited—It’s Fun, Too!
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
TpHIS year the fashion picture is
-*• literally packed with drama.
What with a whirl of midwinter fes
tivities and gala occasions in full
swing one is almost sure to yearn
for more than the usual amount of
clothes glamour. The good news is
that, by making sewing your hob
by, you can easily manage to have
an enchanting array without suffer
ing a single budget twinge.
Simply pick the pattern that
measures up to your idea of a dream
dress, get your material in hand and
then dash off to your nearest local
sewing center where expert help is
cheerfully given in sewing short
cuts and fashion tricks, at little or
no expense.
Fabric counters are literally bub
bling over with an endless display
of smart, inexpensive rayon jerseys,
tweedy weaves that tailor beauti-
fully, gorgeous taffetas and moires
that look twice as expensive as they
really are; velveteens in alluring
pastel and brilliant jewel-toned col
ors; handsome laces of every type
from sheer to the new linen effects,
which, for the most part, can be had
for under a dollar a yard. This year
a merry war is going on between
traditional black-and-white and lush,
ravishing colors like fuchsia, tur
quoise, black plum, alarm red, to
paz, gold and beige, Kelly green
and seafoam tones and tints.
For the twilight hour and its flat
tering candlelight, there’s romantic
elegance needed, and you will be
equal to the occasion if you make a
dinner dress which combines a long-
sleeved, front-buttoned, long-torso
basque top of black cotton lace
with a shirred wide-spreading rayon
moire skirt which repeats the black
lace in a hip border inset after the
manner of the gown which the fig
ure seated in the foreground is
wearing.
And again your evening splendor
will be definitely established in a
mist-blue jersey dress that molds
and tapers to your form in draped
and flowing lines like those of the
gown shown to the right in the trio
of evening modes pictured above.
Drapery treatments are very im
portant and are outstanding this
season. They are ever so easy to
manipulate, even for the inexperi
enced, with the aid of a new molded-
to-you thermo-plastic dress form.
With an exact reproduction of your
figure before you, it requires no
special gift to drape the folds of a
material in a way that will most ef
fectively dramatize your silhouette.
Gay and inexpensive materials
make the luxurious looking dinner
•dress centered in the group above.
There is style distinction reflected in
the chrome yellow velveteen jacket
that hangs with easy grace from
broad-looking shoulders encrusted
with importantly new embroidered
motifs that are repeated on the pock
ets. This jacket would be lovely with
a candle-slim forest green crepe
floor-length skirt. Believe it or not,
the embroidered motifs that so defi
nitely enhance this jacket were
stitched up in practically no time on
a modern sewing machine, and the
finished job looks for all the world
like fine handwork.
The fashion suggestions above
are destined to turn your “date” into
a successful drama, and they will
inspire repeat performances in the
future.

White Fur
In keeping with the vogue for
“winter white,” this season, comes
the prediction from furriers that
snow white lamb will prove one of
the most popular furs of the season.
The young set is “rushing” the
idea. It’s a treat to the eye to see
young girls wearing coats like the
one pictured. These coats are strik
ingly new, and they top the now-so-
modish white jersey “date” dresses
to perfection.
Rain Now Calls for
Gay Fashion Parade
Away with somber attire on a
rainy day! No longer are leaden-
cast skies, downpours of rain and
muddy streets a sign that one must
match the somberness of the scene
with clothes equally depressing. Ac
cording to the new theory, a rainy
day is just the time to come out in
bright array. In fact, rainy days
are turning into cheerful events.
There are gay new capes, fitted
coats and trench model coats, some
in white, some in blue and, most ex
citing of all, those in bright red
rainproof transparencies or proc
essed cloth, if you prefer. You can
get red or white boots to match.
There’s style and charm, too, in
the new processed black satin rain
coats that are fashioned with smart
details and given a glamour touch
in that the newest out are fashioned
with jeweled buttons.
Magazine Tells What the
College Girl Is Wearing
According to a new women’s mag
azine :
College co-eds are braiding their
hair in “country cousin” style.
Earrings are being worn with the
braids.
Sixty inch pearls worn on “Sloppy
Joe” cardigans are “tops” every
where.
Cowboy boots, plaid sweaters,
lime yellow shirts, corduroy jack
ets, the “V” neck sweater and knee
length argyle plaid socks also
storm the American campus scene.
For the Young
Take yards and yards of bright
red net. Fashion this into a full
skirt. Top this with a snug-fitting
bodice made of jersey in matching
red. Outline the decolletage, sleeve
edges and finish off the waistline
with a single-row beading of spar
kling red sequins.
TERNS
SEWONG CORCLE
line is youthful and flattering to
the face.
The skirt attached at a low
waistline takes pounds away from
your hipline because of its adroit
piecing — and weight-minimizing
smoothness at the sides and in
back. The dress may be finished
with short sleeves or sleeves of
the new “below-the-elbow” drape.
The style is suitable for silk,
rayon or wool crepes, for satin,
faille or romaine.

On Wrong Trail
A Negro preacher was hearing
confession. In the middle of it he
stopped the young sinner.
“Young man,” he said, “you
ain’t confessin’—you’s braggin’.”
A silent man often has a repu
tation for knowing about ten times
as mnch as he really does know.
Assumed
“Do you think you could learn to
love me?”
“Perhaps. But if I were a man,
I’d hate to think I was an ac
quired taste.”
Well Described
'As Sandy walked slowly down the
village street two of his old friends
looked on sadly.
“Man, Sandy's lookin’ awfu’ white and
thin these days,” said the first.
The second shook his head dolefully.
“Ay, ye’re richt” he replied. “He’s
fist like a bottle (’ milk wC shoes on!”
The Same Again
They’d been married long enough
for the glamour to have faded, but
she was a trier. On the eve of her
birthday, she asked sweetly:
“What are you going to give me
for a birthday present tomorrow,
darling?”
“Nothing!” he replied curtly.
„ “But, dearest,” she went on,
the sweetness turning sour, “can’t
you think of something original?
You gave me that last year.”
Clifton Fadiman, in his book,
“Reading I’ve Liked,” warns the
layman against spending all his
time trying to keep up with the
latest books. He tells about one
of his old professors who sat be
side a pert young thing at a dinner
party.
“Professor,” she piped up,
“have you read so-and-so’s new
novel?”
He confessed he hadn’t.
“Oh,” she said, “you’d better
hurry—it’s been out over three
months.”
“Young lady,” he said, “have
you read Dante’s ‘Divine Com
edy’?”
“Why, no.”
“You’d better hurry—it’s been
out over six hundred years.”
Young Man’s Need
It is not book learning youn^
men need, nor instruction about
this or that, but a stiffening of the
vertebrae which will cause them
to be loyal to a trust, to act
promptly, concentrate their ener
gies, do a thing—“carry a mes
sage to Garcia.”—Elbert Hubbard.
