W" speak of good taste in- dress. Some people seem to inherit the ability to .select clothing that will make tIn ni- look their best; others wear their clothes seemingly as a concession to civilization with no regard for beaii ty or fitness. Clothes are on the surface. What a truism! Yet they tell our friends more than we realize. Soiled, impressed clothing suggest that the wearer lacks a sense of orderliness is a bit iareless iit his thinking as well as in his clothes. We do.know of a genius here and there whose dreJts would refute this statement. But who of us is a genius? Uniforms reveal the soldier. hfs rank and his regiment.

UNTO THE HILLS Our way led us through the mountains of North Carolina last week. Often we had occasion to lift our eyes unto the hills. It was good for the soul. They were so steadfast and sure. Clouds could cover the peaks and the lightning could flash but af ter the passing of the storm the mountain would be seen washed by the rain and glistening in the . sunshine. Year after year and century after century they stand unmoved and uunlovable. They stand unchan , ged in a changing world. Ldttle men happen on the scene for a brief while and pass off hut the mountains abide. The enduring, the unafraid hills how calm they are! They have looked down upon generation after generation of men and are r.ow looking down on us.

"Tim" and ' Sally", being in reverse, cause havoc at home and at the office, which is almost devastated. Chapter Six Sally was learning a good deal from Irene Clare and Marion Manning, at the luncheon. Irene chatted about the divine nightgowns she had bought at Hattiee, which Joel paid for through sheer fraud. "He pays for them," Irene said. "Hattie sends him a phoney bill, and I pay the rest out of my household account." Marion, It developed, had another scheme.

"And you'd be surprised how many I can buy." "Oh...But why don't you pick bis pockets? It's easier." "Listen to who's talking. Phil's supposed to he a smart man...Can I help it if I'm smarter?" Marlon replied. And Irene went on to say that Joel teas Just a big blubber. And as for Tim. the Boy Athlete ...It went on for a while, until (tally broke through her own unfortunate disguise. "Listen ... I've had enough of this," she began angrily. "If you've got so little regard for your husbands. why don't you leave them? You think they're stupid? Well, let me tell you something . . . You, Irene. You're not putting anything over on Joel with that nightgown business. And how do you think you look when you put your cold feet upon his back?" "Cold feet?" . "Yes. cold feet...and he comes meaning to me that his lumbago is killing him. As for Marion, complaining about Phil not giving you any attention. If you'd stop going o bed with your chin strap and -old cream and curlers, he might ake a little Interest in you!" The girls were mad now. Marion Jumped to her feet.

They began to walk cut, until Marion suddenly stopped. "Walt a minute." he said carefully. 'When did my husband tell you what I look like when I go to bed?" And Irene got the same Idea. "Tea, and Just when have you and Joel had conversation about my cold feet on his back? I and his lumbago?" she demanded.

"Oh, darling, I'm so happy," Sally laughed. "Come on, now. We've got to get dressed for dinner, This is an occasion!" The Willows had an Important dinner party that night.

Marlowe was so happy that he announced the return or his account to Will owe. Manning and Clare. Sally and Tim were grateful for all good things, so they went into the bedroom, to Mr. Ram. "You've made us the happiest people on earth!" said Sally. "It's nice of you to say that." Mr. Ram replied, "but look ? I've made a terrible mistake.
