worn as frequently with suits Of navy
blue as with black. Indeed, the day OF
the suit hat seems past, and, while for
eConomy's sake a somber-cOlored suit Is

Wearing Flowers

Not for several years has it been so
much the thing TO wear flowers on the
street.
For a time the pretty custom was
considered bad taste, due probably TO
maidens making walking Conservatives
81 themselves.
Now the up-tO-date tailOr-made girl
wears pinned to her coat a single fOw-
er. - at most two. unless viOlets or
Tiles Of the valley are the choice.
What these flowers are depends upon
the purse OF the maiden's best young
man, or perhaps on that Of her fond
papa, as girls buy flowers for them
selves nowadays and do It openly. with
nut any pretense Of sending them to q
sick friend or taking them home TO
mother.
The smartest flower IS a single gar
denia, but its waxy Wilderness IS not
only dreadfully high-pTlCed, but it
bIaCkens at the first blast Of air.
4 single American Beauty rose or
one Chrysantbemum is the next choice,
though nothing quite takes the place OF
viOlets for street wear. And the smart
touch just here from Paris IS to wear
a small artificial flower with two or
three leaves III the bUttOnhOie Of your
severe coat suit.

Round CenfeTpIeccS.

Round and square centerpIeCes and
teatable covers vie with each other for
popularity. Matching sets of doilies of
various sizes are in demand for use with
centeTpieCeS for luncheon decorations
Some few buyers consider that there
is a lessening demand for square pieces.
and to confirm this they state that the
round table now so much in vogue has
been the cause for the increased interest
in the round centerpieces.
Be this as II may, importers state that
they find no falling of in the demand
for the square CenteTpieCe. which can

the young girl whose eyes are

that acting is really nothing but play

Dancers Of Wool Gloves

No one Will deny the warmth and
comfort Of a pair OF wooden gloves On
these biting days. But the truth is that
Il IS a case Of sacrificing beauty 10 COM
fort, because the wCOlen gloves cause
the hands TO become red and ugly, and
finally to chap.
The hands, swathed in the warmth
afforded by the wool, soon perspIre. and
the cold creeps in through the little
openings and chaps the skin. Therefore,
II milady insists upon comfort, which
with her seems 70 be a synonym for
wooden gloves. she must wear a pair
Of kid gloves under the wooden ones,
Such a procedure, however. makes the
hands unnecessarily bulky, and Just as
much comfort can be obtained, with the
additional advantage OF style, from

or silk. according to the capacity of your
purse. These gloves are air-tght, 50
