on the streets. almost every woman will
find 1t boon to have one of these simple
little jackets. comfortable enough to wear
a warm day. hanging up in her cup
board ready to get into whenever she goes
abroad.
A word more about this useful little gar
ment. The summer girl is making up tiny
coats along the line of the one described in
pale coiored silks to wear over her dainty
thin frocks. To be particularly modish the
hat, slippers and ceinture match the tone
Of the jacket And. by the way, color
schemes embracing the smallest details of
the attire are the things for which every
smartly dressed woman will strive this sea-
son. Having selected these important &C
cessories of the costume, they must be put
on in chic fashion If they are to have any
real meaning In the composition of the sar-
torial picture. In this respect the French
woman excels. She puts on her gown quick
ly enough, but it takes her hours to adjust
the small belongings, the finishings Of the
dress
For the Summer Girl.
The summer girl. if she pleases. may
wear with her pretty cotton voiles and
dimities wide sailor hat covered with old
time English chintz. which model Is the
derner cri here in Paris and which is only
to be found in the shops that appeal to the
most expensive taste This decidedly quaint
chapeau is trimmed with a scarf of the
chIntz tied in a large bow at one side.
Parasols to correspond are to be found en-
suite with the hats making most fascinat-
ing ensemble of old world charm.
There is no reason on earth why a girl
clever with her fingers should not be her
own millner and make for herself one of
these fanciful pieces of headgear. l would
suggest in such an event that the ehintz
be glued on the frame. This is bit of
professional advice l have absorbed and
pass on to YOU
The Gallo Male Preference.
If you will pardon the depression from
our all-absorbing dress subject L would like
to quote from some French writer's who have
recently been interviewed as to whether
men prefer ugly and clever women to those
who are pretty and unintellectual. Marcel
Boulenger's reply to the question is: Il
should never advise pretty fool to my
best friend. AS to a woman who was plain.
though Intellectual 1 would not wish her
for my worst enemy.
Marcel Provost who Is the woman's psy-
biologists par excellence among modern nov.
elists, thinks he has never met with a wit
less woman. las to ugly women" he de-
clares, there are surely none but those
who are SO on purpose"
M. Roman Coolus has definite views on
the question, and, as matter of fact, they
seem to sum up the whole problem: I'm
love there are only Individual cases Love
blows wherever 1t likes. and its choice Is
not decided either by wit or beauty. How
ever. the chances are in favor of pretty,
witiess women, because there is. l fear.

M. de Flers. the well-known dramatist,
on being consulted. says he communicated
with friend whose experience permits him
to speak with authority. He received two
kilograms. one at IL am, the other at IL
pm. The first read as follows: There is
absolutely no doubt on the matter. A plain
and clever woman is much more likely to
be loved than a pretty silly one The
second message read: Pay no attention to
this mornings telegram. In reality there Is
no doubt that very pretty woman who Is
not clever has more chance Of being loved
than clever one who is ugly 1t still re-
mains an open question. and every man to
his taste! CATHERINE TALBOT
