than Queen Mary. The German en-
press is slightly taller than the kaiser;

WHAT WE WEAR IN MIDSUMMER
BY Betty Brown
At fashionable morning weddings,
at smart restaurants - yes, at fu-
nerals, too, the Girl in the Sports
Suit lends color to the scene. She is
no longer criticized, for the bestriped
suit is worn everywhere. The stick
Iers for form frOwn, but the Girl in
the Sports suit is welcome on gay
and grave occasions.
"The College Girl" shoe it what
they call the shoe that all smart
womankind is wearing. Even though
you have a daughter in college that
f1at-heeled shoe with its broad toe will
lead you into she youthful stride of
the Sweet Girl Graduate herself Its
youthfulness is it's greatest recon-
mendatiOn.
Mohair, that everybody was wear
ing a dozen years ago, has fiuttered
into fashion again. It comes in tan,
blue stripes, rose and tan, green and
tan and other odd combinations, but
the tan stripe is never missing.
Ratine ribbon handwide and striped
in the popular Sports colOTs makes
a saucy sash for a bathing suit or
any other outdoor frOck.
A white kid shoe strapped across

The florists Of California go so far as
to boil the stems of the brilliant poin

they are so famous. The stem Is first

prevent the steam from rising directly

Carnations and chrysanthemums will
