The model yoL select for your
afternoon frock depends upon the
use to which the costume is to be
dedicated. Time was when an
afternoon costume was a frock to
be worn under a coat, worn to
matinees or other informal affairs.
Time was when it was deliberately
trimmed, when the materials
which went into it's making were
chosen from the lightweight silks
and transparencies. Today there
are two types of afternoon cos
tumes-the frock designed to do
double duty as street costume and
for wear to luncheons or any other
affair where tailcre| suit VOL
be de trop. AS a rule, it is fur
trimmed and its dressy character
is supplied by the richness of it's
material. On the other hand, there
is the afternoon costume such as
that pictured in today's sketch--a
costume which may be worn to the
theatre, tea dansant or any after
noon reception. The material of
this little costume IS peacock-blue
chiffon velvet. the col'or nd crTs
of white organdie trimmed with
gold filct lace.

Where Women Vote

c. A. Bradley, Mayor of Longmont, Colo
RADIO, writes Women vote in large num-
bers, and bribery is unknown. Better men
are elected to office, and through the fran
chises given to women, all the towns In this
part of the State are temperance towns, and
the law is well enforced. II is through the
influence of the women that the politics of
the State is fast gaining ground In the
right direction, and it will be but few
years until wehave one of the cleanest tSates

But heavy feeding compIcates.
The task by soiling many plates.
And though grant that I have prayed

To see Her smile across the sink
I wash, She wipes. In water hot
| Souse each dish and pan and pot;
While Taffy mutters, purrs and begs,
And rubs himself against my legs.

Has washed the dishes with his wife
Or polished up the silver plate
He still is largely celibate.
One warning: there Is certain ware
That must be handled with all care;
The Lord Himself will give you up
If you should drop a willow cup.
