Thursday, May 26, 1927 I SOCIETY! . JhL .This Cape-Coat of Black Shows a j Touch of Summer Fur. • Many of the afternoon coats for summer show a sparing use of fur, and when this touch of fur appears there is tto smarter combination than black with beige. ; For instance, supple b'.ack satin makes the cape-coat above, with dyed ermine making the slender collar. v The tiny feit lmt is beige to match the-fur. Thus the discreet choice of color for the hat and coat makes them smart with practically any summer frock. ■■ i Women Pickets On Duty In Front Os Main Street Store. Salisbury Pbst. • Something* unusual and rather novel for Salisbury was observed by passers by on Main Street today, women pick ets Wing-stationed in front of a local mercantile Establishment displaying a big placard oil which was printed in large letters these words: “This store is unfair to organized labor.” This is a part of the campaign now being waged by the recently organized retail clerks- union for an 8 o’clock closing Saturday nights. The sight of young women on picket duty displaying the ••unfair” signs ■created much interest and comuuMU v Practically every one passing took no tice of the new stunt. The bearers of these signs took turn .in picket duty. They stationed them selves on the outer edge of the side walk. facing the store picketed, and performed the duty assigned them in a quiet manner, seemingly being content to advise passers by, through the med ium of their placards, of their mission.

Who can say what is meant when beauty discloses Her soul in hyr diamonds, or rainbows or roses? Though fleeting as echoes from soft sounding- bells, Her love is the story that kindliness tells. For beauty with meaning more wor - thy than these. Lies hidden in those who drink mis ery’s lees; You idiot, there, in his corner is God: Await for your kindness, your curse, or your rod. If of heaven, in life, we ever partake, Remember, of kindness our heaven we make; For kindness is heaven, and whither we go, We carry it with us, we reap what we j sow. —F. J. Perry.
