Someone has said that the reason
men are so much more successful in
culinary matters is that they know
and appreciate the difference between
an eighth and sixteenth of an inch.
Now we will not admit that this is
true, yet accuracy to the smallest de-

Blanche ran off to Martha, who
fused and hindered her with the best
intentions. 1t would have been diff
cult to say which was the more ex-
cited of the two. But the old nurse
would waste time in perfectly fatuous
"reminiscences of the very earliest ex-
petitions in which Mr. Cazalet had
led and Blanche had followed, and
what bonny pair they had MADE
even then, etc. Severely snubbed on
that subject, she took to peering at
her mistress. once her BARN, with fur

Blanche, on her side. looked as though
she had something on her mind, and,
indeed. had made one OF two attempts

"Who should ask me, wonder?"

Martha looked for moment as
though she were about to weep, and
then for another moment as though
she would die Of laughing. But q

would have been told to her face by

Hats for wear at the afternoon con-

fairs which make opportunity for wom-

milliner the best chance in the world
for displaying her art. Such a hat is
the GROWING glory of the toilette and
comes In for more attention than any
other detail of 1t. No one can fail to
appreciate that artists in headwear
have made good this season with hats
that are JOY to the beholders.
These hats are usually of materials
that put them in the demiseason
class. That is. they belong to no par

What with the abundance of exQuis-
lite laces, run with silver or gold
threads, and the pliancy of silver and
gold tissue, it looks like an easy mat
ter to construct an enticing evening
gown. These tinsel laces are COM
bined with silk nets, chiffon, and other
laces, and the number of beautiful
dancing and party frocks employing
them testifies to their fitness for such
use. The secget of success seems to
lie in knowing when to quit. They
are not to be too lavishly displayed,
but either to be used sparingly in
decoration of other airy fabrics or to
be yelled and softened under trans
parent stuffs. One has always to be-
ware Of too much glitter.
For fine management of silver tissue
and tinsel lace, combined with chit
fon and silk lace, the beautiful gown
shown in the picture is testimonial
to its designers artistic and good
sense. A narrow fiounce of silver tin
sci lace is set on the inside of the
bottom of the skirt, and silver tissue
makes the short-sleeved bodice, which
is partly yelled with chiffon. The
body ofsthe garment is of white chit
fon with wide white silk lace forming
the sleeves and part of the over
skirt drapery. The bodice is shapely
and modest with the chiffon over
drapery forming a short jacket effect
fastened at the front with silk rose.

The lace which forms the sleeves is
extended across the back and draped
in with the chiffon jacket
The underskirt is accordion plated
and the plating is given pretty flare
at the bottom by the lace which is
set under it. The draped tunic of
chiffon is bordered with narrow band
of silver tissue like that used for the
underbodice. This tissue is full enough
to form a girdle about the waist. and
its lower edge is finished with a
small silver cord or braid, which out
lines the edge of the chiffon jacket
also. The admirable adaptation Of
the design to the materials used in
this model make it worth study.

ENTERS NOW THE FILM FACE.
lNew York Sun.)

Not 50 long ago lot was heard about the motor car face. anl affliction which spread over the country like wildfire and settled upon those who continually drove or lodged motor cars. It is a readily accepted fact that those of the population Of the United States fortunate enough to drlve motor cars are unfortunate enough to have to dodge them; so the vast import of an epidemic of this character Is easy to understand. Ask any alienist who specializes on motor madness.
 Another epidemic, more malignant even. has seized the country in It's grip. A new sculptor has come to work on the expression of our faces. This time it is a case of movie mad ness. The little jiggly god of the film threatens to develop new and startling styles in facial architecture Few and fur between are the faces that will not be influenced, for the person now sdays who does not go to the movies Is as rare as @ German sausage in a French restaurant.-Jane Dixon.

Their interests are so lew and so superficial that lot of energy that ought to be used up in good work Is dissipated within themselves and does them much greater harm than would any possible amount of work they might try of accomplish with it.-James J.

In the first place strangers cannot be ex- pected to understand what Is wanted and in the second place the practise is really slap in the face at people residing here.

PEACE AND SOCIALISM.

Socialism has bumped against a hard problem in trying to preserve its peace plank in the face of existing wars and rumors ot war. The theory has all along been held that war is unnecessary and highly detrimental to civilization and tue happiness and welfare of man. and in this stand me country as a whole may well afford theory. but unfortunately requires Io De applied relatively, and its adoption ds d national policy is consequent upon it's acceptance oy the remainder of the civilized world.

 .lation adopts it as principle. Amer 4can socialists recently clashed the question at meeting of the national committee of their party in Chicago.
 Former Congressman Victor Berger was one of those who insisted that a nation must have the right to fight for it's existence, if necessary. and the very great majority of his fellow -citi- zens, who are in favor of peace, will agree with him. The national com mittee, however. adopted n resolution busting from membership In the party any socialist who should vote for a war appropriation.
 There is little divergence of opinion among the people of this country as to the things that are intrinsically good and the things that are intrin- sically bad. Their chief differences are in the methods to be employed in procuring the good things and getting rid of the bad things. It would be interesting to know how America would maintain the socialist peace idea with the remainder the world armed to the teeth and hunting game.
