LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans In holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

Grown-up society misses are wear
ing coats and hats which make their
friends look twice to see if it is re
ally the grown-up miss or her young
sister. The high-waisted little coats
look as though the wearers should be
out rolling hoops instead of attend
ing dignified social functions.
The new evening frocks reflect the
‘litt'e girl influence. One charming
frock made of green taffeta was seen
with a long pleated skirt attached to
a little high-waisted bodice and had
tiny puffed sleeves. A small velvet
muff for the wrists served the pur
pose of a vanity bag.
