are told, and everybody who is some
body is woman body, is that unless
you can wear cherries you are nobody.
The Frenchman a Ia mode wears in his
buttonhole a huge bunch of cherries,
with a stick ard a leaf as the back
ground. Real? Well, they are the
next thing to- it. You are almost ready
to swear that those cherries have just
come from the tree itself; but, unlike
those belonging to the tree ldentlhed
with G Washington, these are made OF
the most perfect cellulCid. linen the
dark haired girl has bunch OF cher
ries at her waist to convince you OF It's
smallness, and the plump girl has
bunch of cherries in her hair to remind
you of the quantity of beautiful tresses
that are her own and to which the cher
ries form good contrast.
Next to cherries, everybody who is
anybody is drinking Scotch whisky.
The bottle that used to fizz and en-
courage our wit is out OF fashion. The
bottle which held the somewhat sour
but lovely colCred liquid has, meta
phorically, gone to the dogs, while the
golden tinted sherry with its flavor
of nuts and it's bouquet OF sweet flow
ers, may be taken with your soup, but
1t IS rot counted NECESSITY, merely q.
something that we bear because our
grandfathers did it. But the Scotch
whisky, pale yellow in color, mixed
with soda, is given to you all through
your dinner, whether you like it or not,
and really, though it has not the viz
tues of Araby, the Blest in the way of
smell, still it is not altogether criml-
nal. and it's taste can and must be Gull
tivated
The queen has INDUCED in Scotch and
soda until she has forgotten her own
age and has to refer to the 'Peerage"
10 discover just how old she is. AS for
the set that calls itself we" it is
saving money by this Scotch idea, and
as one young man whose drawl had
been gained by Five Years of Life
Among the Highlands" said 1T is so
beastly vulgar, don't you know, to be
anything but stingy nowadays. A fell
low, though, has to learn just how he
can give a penny to another fellow who
rs starving and has the usual six wives
and children. Still if a fellow learns
to give his penny to the other fellow

thinks that he certainly must be a
duke, else he wouldn't dare be so care
full of his money. Why, my dear fell
low, it took me quite a time to discov-
er that the people who give wonderful
presents and spend no end of money
are always the people who dug up their
gold or went out doing washing and
sometimes earned their ducats in a
way not SO clean. We who really know
appreciate the value of money, and,
while we do a kind thing for a fellow,
We don't go around throwing our mon
ely away. That's beastly bad form, and
as you are young | am going to tell
you, my dear boy, to take this lesson
to heart. Give little things, and peo-
pie are certain to think you are awfully
wealthy and very stingy, whereas, as
suggested, talk quietly, and when you
give some trile make it some gift that
money could not purchase, but which
courtesy could only command. AS |
said before, learn to know how to give
q little and give that little with the
air of a duke or French duchesse."
But everybody who is somebody is
bringing home to the other body the
dearest little night lamps that ever
charmed the soul of a woman and made
her feel rich. Generalizing, women are
not grateful. Life is short and the
changes in hairdressing are numerous.
But the night lamps-oh, they are dar-
Ings! They are of china, and some
represent that lovely little cottage in
which W. Shakespeare and his sweet
wife, Anne Hathaway, lived their life
of diiuted bliss, while there are Others
that initiate those ducks of Noah's ark
somewhat that delight the souls of
children and in which live elephants
and nlCSquitOs of the same size. The
little houses are of china, and there is
an opening at the back of each. A
broad, low candle is set inside on the
floor, and the light comes through the
windows in front. Think how per-
fectly loveful it would be to have a
lamp made after the style of the cottage
of the divine William! And as you
dream of Romeo. your Romeo, you
would remember how he said, Anne
Hathaway, she had a way to make earth
heaven or hell, Anne Hathaway"
Then, too, we are hearing of the new
bazaar 1t is the thing to give it either
In big picture gallery or ballroom,
private ones. of course. At each stall
Is sold whatever the managers of that
particular one may wish, but every
thing must be of one color, and all the
saleswomen must be dressed to match
their goods. Best of all were two pref
ty girls who sat under huge umbrella
selling what they called country pro-
duce, which included dollhouse grapes
and peaches at 81 apiece, or two for
1925 Hardly any of the men discov-
cred where the economy of buying two
peaches lay, but, then. as the sales
woman said, if you paid more you had
more, which was an argument which
no one could deny. Under the huge UNI
brella of bright red other girls were
dressed as Normandy peasants, and
every other girl in the room was furi-
Gus because her mother hadn't been
clever enough to think out what these
girls were.
Now the war is over one is permit
ted to say that, from the feminine
standpoint, it was not cheerful one.
Nobody had to hide her clothes and put
on the-well, you know the things men
wear that women never know how to
get on. We didn't have to disguise
