The corsage flower is a toy that women
have become greatly attached to. 1t no
longer possesses the charm of novelty.
But it is still the pet of fashion. 1t is
even almost impossible to find a new
place to wear. IL.
Last winter. when one of the daughters
of the President perched a small. bright
corsage flower on her left shoulder, So
ciety followed suit. The flower on the
lefT shoulder appeared in all sorts of
guises. Sometimes it was part of an
evening frock-when il took the place of
a little buckle or clasp in holding the
shoulder straps of low-cut bodiGes over
the shoulder. In house frocks for day
time hours the little shoulder flower was
nestled close TO the muslin or lace col
lar. In street suits, it became a part of
the ruff of tulle or collar Of fur worn
about the throat
The little flower is still worn on the
shoulder. but since its first appearance
there. it has been worn in a dozen other
positions. One even hesitates to call il
a cOrsage flower. 1t is worn on the left
hip. on evening frOcks. 1t is dropped half
way down the back between neck and
waist. And IL is worn at every cOnceiva-
BILE spot on the front of the bodice.
Mrs. Castles Flower.
As much ingenuity is employed in de-
vising unusual and interesting combina-
tions Of flowers for corsage-and every
other-wear as is employed in finding a
new place to put them. When Castle
House opened not long ago Mrs. Vernon
Castles little corsage bouquet attracted
quite as much attention as her frock or
the graceful steps she danced. She wore

II YOU don't see what you want at the
new Young WOmen's Christian AssOcia-
tiOn cafeteria at Fourteenth and G
streets ask for it. If you feel that YOU
would like peach pie for luncheon and
the only kind listed on the bill of fare
is apple and pumpkin and mince and
lemon, just write little note to that ef-
feet and slip it in the question box. II you
think that there is too much salt in the
soup or too much sugar in the apple
sauce write that on a slip and put that
in the question box, too.
This question box where every one can
make suggestions is one of the new fea-
lures of the new cafeteria conducted by
tine Y. w c. a. for the benefit of its
members and friends. and Washington
women in general on the second floor OF
their new headquarters over the Federal
National Bank.
The crowd of zoo women who gathered
at the new cafeteria yesterday seemed
more like a group of women intent on
some social function than women bent on
4 hasty luncheon. Many of them have
been regular attendants of the cafeteria
which was carried on in F street. and
these women have grown accustomed to
meet for a friendly chat and tastefulIy

(Copyr;gnt. Isli.,

A YOUNG woman of my ac-
~ quaintSnce occupies the posi-
tion of stenographic secre-
tary to one of my friends. One day
her employer left the office at four
O'Clock. Not having anything par
tlcular to do, she busted herself in
cleaning up his desk. Under a pile
OF papers she discovered a letter
which evidently her employer had
not read or had forgotten. The let
ter stated that the writer would tele-
graph some important information
on that day.
At FIVE O'Clock, the closing hour,
the telegram had not arrived In
stead of going home. the secretary
remained in the Office. At about six
o'clock the telegram was received.
She attempted TO reach her employer
by telephoning his residence, but
failed. She then telephoned his club.
and. after persistent effort, located
him at friends house. TIE tele-
gram was OF great importance, and
he instructed her how to answer II.
If she had not remained overtime,
10 one would have seen the tele-
gram until the next day. and there
would have been delay of several
hours, perhaps of several days. a.
the sender said that he was about 70
start for the West and requested an
immediate reply. This act on the
part of the young woman resulted in
a very profitable order. The next
morning her employer complimented
her, and at the end of month her
salary was increased.
Another incident: At about three
o'clock one day a business man in
formed his secretary that he was
obliged to take a train for another
city. where he was to deliver an. ad-
dress before board of trade. 1t

High shoes I'm Vogue.
1t is interesting at Castle House. and
everywhere else where women congregate
to dance away an hour or SO in the aft
ernoOn, to note that high laced boots
are by far more usual than low shoes.
Some of the dancers wear low shoes.
with light spats-spats Of sand or putty
cOlOred cloth, or of white suede or cloth.
But most of them wear the regulation
high laced boot of the winter-with sand
or gray cloth uppers and black patent
leather vamps, or made entirely of suede.
Mrs. Castle likes suede laced boots to
match her. frocks.
Just why women should have chosen
to swathe themselves literally from head
to foot with heavy clothes this year.
after so many seasons OF scant cover
ing, it is hard to tell Why does fash
ion smile on high boots, full, warm skirts,
long, warm coats. long sleeves and high
collars all in the same winter? OF
course, the reason is the same that made
her smile on low shoes. scant skirts,
no petticoats. short jackets, open necks.
short sleeves and exposed throats and
chests all in the same winter. Fashion
is a tickle jade, as the poets and others
have always told us. As a result of the
fashion for warm clothing. the crowds
that throng Fifth Avenue in the fash
ionable hours for shopping and later
pass up and down its long length in
pursuit OF afternoon engagements, looked
dressed for the part they play. They
look warm and comfortable, and in so
looking are smart

At this season of
the year the regula-
tion winter styles are
varied by the appear
ance of early spring
models. which give a
foretaste of sartorial
delights to come. The
sketch illustrates one
of those models. 1t is
developed in shantung
elk of a natural col
or. and favors the
plated skirt set with
a deep heading to the
close-fitting yoke. Fol-
lowing the . traditions
of the past two sea-
sons, the skirt is short
and permits more than
a Meeting glance of
fine hosiery and shoes.
A belt of black pat
ent leather gives char
acter to the ensemble.
AS a matter of fact, a
touch of black or of
seal brown is used to
heighten the effect of
contrast on many of
the new garments.
The black note is du-
plicated i'm the shoes,
whose tops are of the
color of the gown.
wearying of fiat trim
mings. the girl in the

are reminiscent of the
Talbot turban OF al

ago.
An interesting fea-
ture in connection
with recent modes is
the maintenance of
the white top shoes,
either in fact or by
spat stimulation. The

ent leather vamp and

sidered very attrac- |
tive. The upper part !

Let the Pigs Grunt.

Let the pigs do the grunting
There is better work ahead FOL
US.
Granting never les'ened the
burden of a load, never pulled
community out of a rut, nevtI
added a dollar to any mans bank
account.
Granting makes pessimists,
and pessimists have bad livers,
and poor digestious, and sour
countenances, and are general
nuisances all around.
And pessimists are always
grunting about something.
They grunt if times are bad
they grunt because they are not
better when they are good; they
gruut over their meals, and over
politics, and religion, and any
thing else that offers chance to
gEunt.
Aud then they grunt because
there is nothing left to gruut
about.
Gruntiug is a habit with them,
lit is their daily pastime, and
nothing is so dear to their hearts
as a big unadulterated gruut.
Many of US grunt a part of the
time, but some folks gruut all OF
the time.
Now let's quit granting.
Let's get down to hard tacks
and dig a lot of wealth out of
this community. It's here, but
granting won't do the digging.
Let's make this the greatest
productive year in local history.
Let's get out and hustle, let's
find the opportunities, or make
them where none exist.
The soil is as rich today as it
was a year ago, and it will pro.
duce as much and the products
will sell for more money.
There is nothing produced in
this community but has a mar
ket waiting for it. If we don't
see the market, let's get out and
find it. Time is too short for 1t
to hunt us.
Let's not sit on dry goods boxes
and wait for the world to come
to our feet. We will die grunt-
ing if we do.
There's a great big place for
US in the world. Let's fill it,
let's do something, let's let the
rest of the world know that We
are alive, that we are producers,
that we are something more than
grunters.
Let's be optimists, for opti-
mists do things, and never grunt.
Let the pigs do the granting.
There are better times and
more congenial work ahead for
US.
Let's all get busy and whoop
