I It w as not the amount of money that the Oood Samaritan spent that made his name a synuuym for generous char- , Hy. It was the fact that whin he saw j tle man who had been down to Jericho ; lying by the roadside "he went to him j and bound up his wounds and set him oa hi.s own beast and brought mm to . an inn and took care of him." There are too many of 11 who are ! generous w ith our dollars and misers , with our smiles.

The word sport as now applied to clothes covers) a wide range of ap parel. Xo longer can this term be taken to describe those clothes to be worn on golf links mid for other out door recreations. Sport clothes are general, practical clothes the smart, serviceable clothes that make a girl or a woman look spick and span, trig, trim and businesslike. This type of tailored and seml-tnil-orer apparel Is admirably suited to the l inericaii woman and her activities, 1 and It Is utuiiiestlonably this quality of ' appropriateness that has, more than iinvtblllg else, helped to establish spurt 1 clothes In this broad and general way. j Our everyday tailored suit and the topcoat that proves such nn Ideal ad Idltlon to this outfit when emergency ' demands are sport clothes In their I well-tailored, well-cut development, ill the simplicity of their designs and the excellence of the material of which thev are made. So, too, the word sport applies truthfully to the tailored and setui tallored blouses and shirts of mannish wash silk that many business nnd col lege girls affect nnd to the more dec orative and more feminine smocks and overblouses, for is not serviceability, quite as much as style, a dominant note of these well-established gar ments? For sport clothes may be as plain nnd nrnc Hon! as will suit the most conservative, yet be endowed with the charm of color nnd the allurement of FciiibcnneealtiH'nt. Embroidered in Gold.
