was almost crazy because she had to
wait 80 long to have the braids and
rhiffon dyed to match the cloth. This
maddening. and there are occasions
when one wishes she had been born
savage so she could riot In a Wild
medley Of colors. The dressmabers
have sworn allegiance with the dyers
this year, for the manufacturers have
evidently not had tip as to the IA
vcred nuanees OF the winter. Conse-
puently, after exhausting trips through
The shops, one Is obliged TO resort to
the chemical process or be de mode.

Do you know, dear, whenever I
have enough money left from my al
lowance TN going to establish--no,
found; j reckon that's the word /
want--a chair Of common sense at
one Of fhe women's colleges. Why
this generosity, this altruistic senti-
mentf I'll tell you. Yesterday after
noon TO get the taste of that freak
tea out Of nay mouth l dropped in at
Shery's to rsgale myself with sip
Of the real thing served in civilized
style. When one feels in a hyper
critical frame OF mind there Is moth
ing that satisfies this mental appetite
more than a peep at the society men
agerie as seen at this smart estab-
lishment. It's as interesting as a cir
Gus performance to go early and Sc
lect table where all the arrivals
may be we'll viewed And 1t was a
sight At to make the angels weep to
see the women come in the other
afternoon with their short wasted
dresses, skirts that pulled around
aippity flop with every movement,
their skinny, severely tight sleeves,
big waists and all the amusing pro-
portions OF their hendgear. Such an
exhibition is calculated TO inspire any
properly balanced person with philan-
thropic tendencies and to make him
want to DO something fright away

says, to propagate the doctrine of COM
mon sense.
And I'm going 10 present Eleanor
X. with free scholarship, for, not
content with making herself look like
a victim OF the white plague by com
pressing her chest and contracting her
shoulders to the point of emaciation, /
she also made that darling little black |
Pnmeranian OF hers an object Of pity |
By adjoining him with collar of vio-
let leather studded with amethysts. I
The dog was tucked under her arm,
and If it had not been for this collar
he might have been mistaken for her /
black lynx rug muff. 1t is of course
important that you should know that
these canine ornaments are about two
inches in Width, and the stones, cut I
In cabochon style. are at least half
that in diameter. To be smart, dog
gie's collar must match madam's gown.
AS It is the correct thing now to
drop the coat at any late afternoon
affair and show the princess gown
with thin yoke and sleeves, had
splendid opportunity to study the
newest creations. And mighty pretty
were many OF the costumes worn by
stunning girls under their long fur
coats. An attractive froek affected
by chic young matron had fits long,
clinsing ssirt of the finest wistaria
colored chiffon broadeIoth. while the
entire hedise, as clngSng as the skirt,
was Of velvet matching the cloth and
braided In self colored soutache. The
guimpe wss Of let ia the color of the
velvet. but only the collar and a space
Of an inch OF two below the base Of
the threat were transparent, the rest
Of the net being lad over gold lace
When this stunning creature left the
room I saw thst 8 long redingote OF
cloth belonged with this costume.
