STRONG COLORS In
FAVOR THIS SEASON

The Horse Show. our unfailing guide
of what is smart" at this time of the
year, shows that the new colors arc
strong in tone and are either very be-
coming or quite the opposite says the
Delineator for December. Hence the
smartness of colors more familiar
such as khaki and brown, taupe and
dun pink, green and violet. Lines Of
black always a favorite Partisan idea
serve to tone down the vividness Of the
seasons new colors They are applied
in the shape of soutache work. or Of
lustrous braid outlined with hand
braided strands of heavy. twisted silk,
the latter showing a paler tone of the
color used for the costume.
Touches of rich color may be intro
duced in tailored gowns when carefully
done Orange, green. the new blue.
and flame color may all be used for
collar cuffs. or the vest provided they
are well braided over with black SOU
tache.

is it possible that he should think some
other girl superior to yours?
Perhaps it is matter of judgement.
Perhaps it is because YOU or your girl
Cor your wife) are wiser than other
people are. Can you explain it by
saying, They would feel just the same
as we feel if they only knew as much
as we know about each other"
1t isn't the result OF similar tastes.
Men who like music often marry girls
who don't know the difference between
a bass fiddle and an octarine. Girls
with domestic tastes Select men who
haven't spent an evening at home since
they put on long trousers. Think of
the happy married couples where tho
man likes books and the girl doesn't.
where she is thrifty ami he inclined to
be wasteful. where she likes music and
he hates it. 1t isn't taste
Is it growth of sentiment then? Does
the man decide that this girl would
make a pretty good wife, and then
etach himself TO shut his eyes to the
charms of every other woman?
Or is. II the result Of association
that this particular man and his par
ticular girl were thrown together, and
love just happened?
This is only a new turn Of an old
question; not What is Lover? but
'Why is love?"
Why did Adam love Eve? Because
there wasn't anybody else aroupd2
Was Adam Obliged to love somebody
or something. and did he take Eve be-
cause she was all that he could find
except the serpent and the apple tree?
Ono more. Why is love?
We are not going TO answer this
We could answer it. Of course, if II
was necessary.
But we should like to have you an
swer it.
You love somebody. What makes
you?
Have you got any business loving II
you don't know why?
Let your thoughts get away from
trusts and money and politics for q
little while. Get out your intellectual
probe and 20 down into your heart and
see if you can figure this out
Why is love?

Delineator. A dark-hairod. dark-eyed.
gentle little woman. sriinently femin-
inc IN her manner, it would not occur
to some people that she follows a re-
markable career. None the less. she
is the only woman boat commander on
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, per-
haps the only river boat captain in the
world. This river captain comes
honestly by her taste for the water
Born and brought up in Marietta, Ohio,
she watched the river day after day

captain. Gordon c. Greene, and went
to live on his boat That was fifteen
years ago and she has been on the

BUSES AID NEW
WORKERS TO
EXERCISE

Never have New Workers taken 50
much exercise, and most Of it is un-
fortunately quite unintentional 1t all
comes Of the sniffy. smart London
buses that now adorn Fifth avenue.
one starts out with a brave confidence
in the things: almost a pride Ia their
speed. Then one waits. at first quite
patiently, enjoying the gayly arrayed
folk who are passing, but after iive
minutes or so one decides to walk to
the next corner and wait there. With
anxious backward glances ana hurry
ing breathlessly you reach the next
corner, wait thero for a few moments;
then rush afrightened 70 the next. so
desirous Of not missing the bus he
tween corners. but really not in the
slightest danger of doing so. After a
continued stretch o. this sort of thing
you ra,urauy find that you tve at
last arrived at your destination, got
in a lot of jerlSy, unexpected exercise
and never By so much as a stretch Of
imagination caught glimpse Of
stage.
To add to the sadness Of it all you
have passed at each corner a group
Of waiting people who have been there
heaven knows how long. They have
sunk and settled into their waiting at
titudes and have a dreadful air Of hav-
ing grown old and gray in the very
spot where you now see them. They
have given up looking for a bus and
only stare out into space, hopeless, in
animate They do not care that their
clothes have grown old fashioned while
they stood or that the friends whom
they were going to see have perhaps
move away and died. The only thought
and wish they are conscious Of is that
a passing ambulance may pick them
ND in case the bus never came.-New
