PARIS. April % CBy mail to New
1ork)-She's right there with a bang
and a run these days. The short fringe
OF hair over her brow, and the wide ex-
panse Of corrugated white muslin around
her throat seem to be the two truly es-
sential parts Of chic Parisienne's toilette
It's quite the same old ruff we had
with us a couple Of seasons ago. Of
pleated white muslin or badste. It Is
worn UP around the top Of a high collar
like an aureole under the chin or a halo
out OF place. More often it is like a
hoppy white clowns ruff outlining a
round cut-out neck.
Ruffs are especially used on the onmi-
present short full-skirted taffeta frocks
.tsS 1s navy ,hd blue Sr baSs ,s Pieatsd cuffs to
or elbow sleeves. For yes, indeed. the
short sleeves are rapidly ousting the
long effects for warm weather wear and
most Of the smart blouses as we'll as
the taffeta frocks have the abbreviated
arm coverings.
Gold braid is another fetish Just now
OF the Partisan. She wears It in the
form of cord twisted about the belt
Of her .gabardine suit or as fiat half
inch wide braid outlining the bottom Of
her taffeta frock. a touch on the belt
tho bodice, and sleeves and outlining
the base Of her outstanding run.
Epidemic of Buttons.
As for buttons. well-"Button, button,
who's got the button" Is no kind Of a
game to play over here. Everybody's
got 1t. There's an epidemic OF buttons.
They spring out like a spring rash in
the most rash places. You're buttoned
up and you're buttoned down. You've
simply got to be covered with buttons
or you can't hope to butt in as a smart
person. even saw some round red ones
suspended on soutache braid loops
dangling around the bottom OF a suit
case. and on the edge OF a short apron
panel on the front Of the skirt. Bullet

Great credit for the record Of this
season. which included a series OF
games that no other girls team OF
the city has equaled, Is due to Mary
Tyndall the extremely able man
ager. She was the chief factor in
ulty to arrange for a schedule hav-
ing such a number of out-of-town
games, for there was objection at
first that the reorganized athletic as
ISOLATION should not run the risk OF
incurring additional debt by paying
Tyndalis business judgment was vim
dicated in that games played away
from town brought gate receipts
practically covering all expenses.
An Effective Guard.
Miss Tyndall also starred as
player. being one OF the most eftec-
tive guards in the city. The low
scores OF opposing teams may
largely be ascribed to her quickness
in getting the ball out OF dangerous
territory.
The captain, Theodosia Seibold.
has done most OF the scoring for her
team. She won renown as forward
when a student at Central High
School, and her playing Is always
marked by accuracy and lightning
quickness.
Tho center was the weakest part
OF the team at first. but a mid-sea-
son shift helped materially in coun-
terbalancing t. this. Ella Gardner was
put in at center and Iuella Field
changed from center to side-center.
Helen Hotchhss replaced Garcia
Craig as guard in some Of the games
and at other times played side
center.

those who help themselves. but also
lends double aid when two living crea-
lures are each helpful to each other.
Cooperation, however. Is of various
sorts. Symbiosis Is a formidable name,
which means two animalcules or plants

necessary mineral constituents and
moisture from the soil, but by virtue Of
it's green stuff-chlorophyl-it makes
use OF light to evolve albumens for the
sustenance of both. The mold, on the
contrary. obtains from the soil by its
acids all the water and minerals neces-
sary for both Of them. Lichens are thus
among the most interesting Of such
double creatures. BY this curious
doubling up 1t can get its sustenance

MAKE A GARDEN.

An incentive to following this ad-
vice is a couplet by Dorothy Turner,
as follows:
You are nearer TO God in q garden
than anywhere else on earth.
And SO 1t is sort of religion to
make a garden. If then you ignore
church religion or Bible religion, do
not neglect garden religion. 1t is no
whim. The best psychology supports
the idea. The fact is, II you are
mixed In your thoughts and are fill
ed with doubts. make a garden. and
You will find your whole intellectual
atmosphere frightened. BY what?

you tell me how to become inter
ested in things and people?
SWEET SIXTEEN.
Stop thinking so much about your
self Sweet Sixteen. and make up
your mind to think more about other
people. their pleasures and their sor-
rows.
Go out and take long walks In the
country. exercise every morning and
evening In your own room. and dur
ing the day keep as busy as you can.
1t is only by being busy all the time
that ono continues to be mentally
keen and interested in the things

that she meets.
