If possible, who was--well I will tell

Tom Lyons Is the fellow, and he
brought it all on himself He didn't
have to say, IF anyone calls, please
say I'm at the barber shop" For
maybe the whole afternoon could have
passed without single visitor, and
then he didn't go to the barber shop
at all, but to Nunnally's In response to
a phone call from a very sweet femi-
nine voice. Now, a friend of mine
was there and saw the girl She was
beautiful blonde. with brown eyes,
very dangerous combination, and
she was dressed in a neat black spring
suit. She's not a debutante, and she
may not even dance the tango, for all
I know, but these girls seem real wor-
ried, and I would like to help them
out. Girls always will be jealous Of
blondes, just on general principles.
The question is, who Is the blonde
lady that raps "Tommie" around her
finger SO easily. and he a confirmed
old bachelor?

Tangoing Is the craze Of one-half of

the other half is clsfmed by the golf

of golf-how to play well-and the
thing that was stressed most was
this: NEVER LET BUSINESS IN
TERFERE WITH YOUR GOLFING
And that Is the main rule Of the game.
Those who are good golfers are those
who get daily practice and sometimes
spend the whole day at it, taking
lunch during the intermission. 1 am

myself Of that sad sin of ir-

to the story of a mutual attraction

the desire that people have to talk
about really great folks, But when
one is young and attractive and bril-
liant, and the daughter of President
with it all, there is simply bound to
be some interesting and harmless
gossip concerning her.
Secretary McAdoo, as everybody
knows, Is a widower with a daughter

home on which there are many social
demands, and without q mistress.

Semi-Eton Suits for Spring

If coats are short for spring, they even shorter
IN the 'front.' and thus have the long banished Elton
jacket. Such jauntiness opening over fluffy, lacy,
blousy blouse with Ofttimes chic and gayy-colored
walstcoat introduced, makes one glad that someone
had the persistence to really bring back the Elton suit
When coats are 4hortened it is only natural Sc
quence that skirts should begin to themselves
where the jacket leaves off hence the high drapery and
hence the bOufant result
A new and marked decoration shown on the new
suits is the black taffeta le across the front and
around the hips overskirt fashion. This is indeed
looking backward for Styles but nevertheless it is
old enough to be new
One can easily the charm in such contrasts when
