AS to parasols, color is the only ques-
ton. They are of medium size, much
bowed and little trimmed, but always
to match the hat, which matches the
gown, which matches the shoes, which
the American bootmaker has built.
The handles sufficiently elaborate to
make up for any Lack of decoration,
are of ivory, silver inlaid or of natural
wood bejeweled, or with knobs of luck
stone, more commonly called jade.
To catalogue the hat models on pa
rade would give no idea Of their real
charm. Chapeaux today are built
to suit the face and few can lay claim
to any specific shape. Tulle contin-

semble the bright blue and white and

owners have just returned from the

to the usual rule, there was no ambi-

Her color combinations are particu-

In itself the dress was simple enough,

Three narrow plaitings of ivory white,
green and blue, one above the other

apart all the way up the skirt. The
bodice was similarly decorated, and
there were a green yoke and sleeves

YYOW to be happy, though married,
is a question that yields to none

average young man or young wo-
man. According to sage, If some
what cynical, philosophers, it may be
answered with the sad and humili-
ating statement that the way to a

wisdom of college diploma, but

rudy tinge brought out by close
and constant communion with a

There are thousands of women who

only realize the supreme homage
which. in his soul. every man pays to
a good cook, and was. in her own
mind. convinced that she could imi-

kettles. for it has been a long ac-
cepted tradition that good cooks are
born. not manufactured at cooking
schools.
Therefore. to know whether a wo-
man is or may be a chef de cuisine
read the answer in her hand. To be a
good cook, says the palmist. the first
essential thing is a we'll balanced
mind. The cook must not lose her
head when the soup boils over and
thus upset the pot or let the chops
burn while she, rescues the consom-

calm and dignified source OF rescue,
even il it entails the burning of a
finger or two. After that do not ram
the finger into the mouth and prance
about the kitchen in an unseenly and
voluble war dance. Tie the finger up
in sweet oil and nice white rag and
smile affably at hubby in spite Of the
pain il at this juncture he should
poke his head into the door to sniff
the good things.
