she says.
Now | want to change tina and have
a college for lovers, with a post-grad-
uate course for husbands. As 1t is now
well, almost any girl can do almost
anything with a man. You know how
easily one girl can rob another girl of
her lover. He, poor. blind being, never
suspects it. A girl would know in a
minute if another man was trying to
win her from her lover. She has intui-
ton like antennae which tells her the
very nature Of every approach.
But with a man it is different. He
sees only a sympathetic soul' in the
girl who leads him away by all the de-
liberate arts of which she is MISTRESS,
The most important consideration in
choosing a parasol is lightness of frame.
Even the voluminous ruching, f1ouncing
and ruffles on the cover add little to the
weight, because they are of hlmy ma
terial. But remember that the parasors
first duty is a sunshade; that it must
be held aloft every time you go out, and
that the sleeves now are well-nigh as
tight as their Innings, and do get a
lightweight handle.

dom was allowed to the arm muscles;
a girl could carry a good deal of weight,
but now, under altered conditions of
raiment, the sleeve often seems to sus-
pend the circulation of the blood in the
arm if any unusual strain is put upon
it.
China handles are nearly always heavy,
particularly the Dresden knobs. The steel
rods render an umbrella or parasol de-
lightfully light, so seesthat the handle is
as light as possible.
MalaCca cane, cherry, olive, pearwood,
bamboo, ebony and orangewood are IA
vorite woods for parasol sticks. Some are
lacquered in colors to match the cover.
The fancy for jeweled handles is hap
PLY passing. Nothing Snowy lasts long
in favor, because as soon as it is copied
in cheap materials the ultra-fashionables
abandon it for a new and more exclusive
mode.
There are many new designs in the
setting of rings this season. Exquisitely
carved settings are considered the very
latest thing. The carvings will cover
more than half the ring.
The gems in all the new rings are so
arranged that they are fiat across the
top. Last season it was the vogue to
nave them rounded. Another new set
ting Is an old idea revived, and makes
a very beautiful ring. The diamonds
used are very small and stud the gold
ring on both sides, so that from the out
side of the hand no gold is seen.
For example, a ring formed of three
opals set in a row will have the tiny
diamonds starting fron4ssach side of the
opals. which makes the ring much more
effective than if the gems were set
merely with gold. The solitaire diamond
still reigns supreme as the engagement
ring. though occasionally, when money is
no object, a large ruby takes its place.
Opal rings are much in vogue. In fact,
opals used in any way are very popular
at present.
1t has recently been decided that women
as well as men hereafter be admitted to

it is t~ermed-will be put into operation
after the Easter vacation, when women

Plain hats are not very much in favor
with the summer girl. Nearly III are
trimmed with flowers, and that very pro-
fusely, too. Wings are very fetching on
the sailor hats, and one cannot have too
many. A combination that is very pretty
is light brown straw trimmed with large
wings of a lighter tint, null loops and
twists, and purple asters, with a knot of
green velvet to relieve it. Such a hat can
be worn with any dress. A sailor hat
with a wide plaid ribbon band makes
a stunning bit of plain headgear.

With all the graduate courses being
taken by women, one should be given to
teach women how to wait till the troll

yet insists upon alghting with her face
to the conductor instead of the motor
man, and never remembers the right cor
ner. The latter is careless, the former
dangerous.
