I found it a very interesting com- bination, portrait, penmanship and biography. and a combination that leaves a very pleasing and accurate impression on the mind. I would like to own the book. because I am sure I would often refer to it. When refer- ence is made in some of my daily reading to an author in any way, I like to recall the features of face, the sketch of their life and the message there in their handwriting.

Later he visited her town, asked 'for her and kissed her with thousands of people looking on, to her very great confusion, but he did grow the whiskers and improved his looks thereby. L Lincoln has been one of my ideals so the Springfield visit rmeant much to me. For a week now I have been in the heat and corn of Illinois and Missouri. speaking on “Uncle Sam and Jack Canuck". Many. perhaps most of the, people in my audience knew little of Canada before. Some have visited Canada but their general ideas about our country is pretty hazy. They give me a free hand to discuss trade, tariff prohibition or anything I like. The farm audiences want to know more about the wheat pool, the farm organi- zation, the national railway. etc. The peOple are so friendly, I like them. and they have a free and easy manner. In shops. trains. everywhere, men go in their shirt sleeves. it is so hot. Corn is the principle crop. oats sec- ond.

A picture of Lincoln enclosed by a split rail fence was sent around. one came to the Bedell home and Grace was upset by the teasing of her brothers and playmates over the home- ly features of her hero, so she wrote and suggested that he grow whiskers and promised if he would that she would do her best to get her two democratic brothers to vote for him. She added that “I think that the fence is really pretty”. If he were too busy to write to her, Grace asked that he get his little girl to _do it for him. We saw a letter written in October. 1860 by a little twelve-year-old girl, Grace Bedell, to Lincoln. Grace was an ardent Republican. A_ campaign Hoovez. in his own 'cotintry".

You are on the crest of every wave when you sail away in a Summer travelling coat of loosely woven tweed. The wanderer is finding new coat ad- ventures in novblty wools. cashmere: and swede fabrics. But the tide of interest is centered on tweeds. There's never a dull moment with this papu- lar fabric that runs the gamut of colors and weaves. but light. uncertain hues often revealing . yellow threads take the helm on the style boat. Many models are furred as is the swagger model shown above. A straight line coat, pocketed and cuffed, offers protection from the sea breezes with its shawl collar of lynx. Tweed Travelling Coats Tuke the Helm It puts on a bold front with ban of red, yellow and brown which border the material and are adroitly used to put over a striking idea of trimming. The stripes run brazenly up and down the front of the jacquet. down the shoulders and around the cults. They come in for a gala finish at the hem of the Jacket and the oneopiece tennis dress. Bordered linen crashes through to first place in the sport frock tourna- ment. Many linen contestants have been running it a close second. Hand- kerchief linen blouses, dark tailored suits, pastel shaded models have all been cited as. worthy opponents.
