THE TRADE TACKLER . l- DAY DREAMS By Betty Baughman THE reader's voice droned on and on. Outside the rumbling of the traffic sank in a monotonous mumble, dulled by the brick walls of the building. What would I buy this spring, a coat or a suit? . . . Oh, dear, what is that girl reading? . . . A navy blue suit would be nice. For my trip to Ohio, too, this summer. With the skirt and jacket buttoning all the way up the front, like the one I saw up- town. Those military pockets surely gave it a lot of dash, too . . . VVill that girl never change the tone of her Voice? It is putting me to sleep . . . I'll have to check up on that story . . . check . . . that's an idea . . . a check suit . . . perhaps double- breasted . . . with a monotone coat. Checks always make me feel so vivacious . . . but with a monotone coat it would not be too lively for town wear or for spectator sports. Motoring in the country . . . my! by this time that story should be getting exci- ting . . . wonder what it's about? . . . Hope' the teacher doesn't call on me . . . I wish I could loaf all day, ride in a big car, have rich-looking clothes . . . like that suit I saw in O'Neill's window yesterday with the Directoire atmosphere about it. It was so feminine and appealing with the gracefully flared skirt, wide revers and gay buttons. I bet I would feel just like Constance Bennett or Janet Gaynor in it. Heavens! I shall really be asleep soon. I wonder if we will have a test on that story? Tests are so difficult . . . all those things are hard to remember . . . if you pretend they are a game it's easier . . . lots of things in life are games . . . work . . . and how to dress. That three-piece suit I saw in the paper would Win any game anytime. The mannish topcoat and jaunty jacket always score high today. It's good tactics to look sporting and charming at the same time. Nice to have that efhcient feeling. My land, this should be a class in philosophy . . . Oh hum . . . I probably wouldnft bekany good in that either. Gosh, the way that dog is barking outside, you would think an army was trying to break in to someone's house! Dogs certainly can make a lot of noise! 'Wonder why they say people like to put on the dogi' . . . Speaking of dogs reminds me of that suit I saw at the dog show . . . funny . . . sounds as though the dog had on the suit. But, it was good-looking . . . with a man-tailored jacket . . . double- breasted . . . made of men's suit cloth . . . that is, made for wear . . . but, upsetting all the tailoring by a most feminine and alluring slit in the skirt. I could surely put on the dog in that! That traffic is getting louder all the time . . . city noises are so jangling. It must be nice to be in the country now, or maybe just driving in a car. I can just see the suit for such a trip, too. A plain dark colored skirt and jacket with a gay plaid coat to give that peppy feeling. I certainly need it . . . I don't feel so peppy now. Thank goodness, there goes the bell, I'll have to get that book and read it to-night. Could never listen intelligently to class reading anyway! Wonder where we go next? Oh, Sylvia, wait a minute. Forward as occasion offers. Never look Take care of the gladness in your life. around to see if any shall note it. Be sat- No matter how full of trouble it is, there isfied with success even in the smallest is sure to be one ray of brightness. and matter, and think that even such a result that, if you use it well, will light the is no trifle.
