r ONION is in the throes Of an agi-
tation against two features Of
modern city life which no
over there has thought it worth while
to attack heretofore. One is the use Of
bad language in public places, the other
the custom of taking an annual vaca-
ton. The objection To the latter was
raised in the first place by the stald
old London Lancet, which medical
journal is so v~enerated by physicians

There are some new ideas in ribbons.
Bright and satiny surfaces are most IN
favor. The wide ribbons for trimming
have a silk beaver finish. One of the
smartest of these is a bright green shot
with blue. A white ribbon showered
with graduated black spots has a pat
tern of dark blue spots of varying sizes.
Ribbon having a design of scarlet pop
pies is effective. An entirely new Idea
Is the embroidered cloth ribbons IN
narrow widths. These are playing an
important part on the gowns of the mo-
ment. For example, a black ribbon has
a design of forget-me-nots. Thev ere

takes so many after a long vacation.
The wrench is too evere This is ad-
