"I'm just crazy for one Of those little
jewelled balls to hang on the fan, returned
the girl in white. They look like a tur-
quoise ornament and dangle from your fan
just as innocently as If they had never
seen a powder puff. But, after dancing,
you open the tiny ball. pull out the fluffy
puff and dab your nose before any one IL
the wiser
Il don't think much Of. the girls who
carry% powder puffs in their stockings,
though five out of six do it," said the Girl
in blue.
Some girls went on the girl in white,
ARE so afraid some one will see them dab
a little powder OF their noses that they
spill powder into their handkerchiefs before
they unfold them and when they want a
little they stick a corner into the powder
and there you are. The great danger Is
that you may unfold the handkerchief and
spill powder all over your gown"
Il think it's awfully funny to see a pow
der rag wabbling around inside of a short
sleeve said the girl in blue. 1T was all
very we'll when We wore long sleeves with
a cuff-but nowi'

have when you wear a vanity bag dangling
from a chain about your neck, but some OF
them are too pretty for words said the
had a mirrored back inside and a powder
puff, a tiny silver nail file, a wee, wee bottle
Of violet extract and a compartment for a
hairpin or two and a pin. 1t was Of silver
and looked just like a purse. The girls
monogram was on it, too
"A few girls are wearing powder puffs In
the new broad bracelets fashioned for the
purpose said the girl in blue, but I'd
hate to have a pretty bracelet spoiled with
q powder box"
aIf my waist wasn't big enough already
l believe I'd. carry mine in my belt said
the girl in white. Lots OF girls are doing
it. but you can wager it isn't the ones whose
belts are over twenty inches. The open in
the front blouses were 40 usefuf-you could
carry no many things in them!A
Il declare, though, y said the girl In blue,
"the very last thing on earth I'd do lie to
ask my escort to carry a powder puff for
me, and l i know at least one girl who does II.
She says il is feminine and that her men
friends like feminine girls"
