All the shop windows are fun OF

The list are parasols Of red, white
and blue ribbons. some radia.lhs
from the center, while on others inc
ribbon stripes run around. One blue
parasol Is sprinkled with silver stars

soils like these are bound 10 attract
rather than keep off native suns.
Next are the patriotic honnets. A
sailor has brim of red, white ana
blue gres grain ribbons radiating
from the white straw crown and Id
front is a cluster of large blue stars
cut out OF silk. A broad brim white
straw sport hat has tiny flags en-
broidered in yarn around IT'S crown

A close turban Of red. white and
bsue straw has an enormous POM

ers are crocheted OF silks in the three
eolors or even beaded in stripes or
designs of flags and stars. White
leather hand bags have flags en-
hossed or stamped in coIors on their
sides and white MORE or faiile bags
have the flags embroidered or
beaded on them.
There are red, white and blue
striped sport shirts and red. white

feminine thrill and furbelow in the
three eolors that you can mention.
Between you and me, however. these
three colored things look much bet

heaps better taste SO placed than on
the heads. hands and hearts of our
American maids.
You don't have to get yourself up
like an American flag and make a
noise like an American eagle to show
you have the best interests of your
country at heart during this time OF
stress and war
II YOU really feel that clothes
make the man or in this case the wo-
man. If you are convinced there in a
psychological connection between
your Utmost emotions and your out
ward apparel then don your last sea
sons clothes with good heart and
don't waste good monge on this sea
sons fripperies. That's the real way
TO dress patriotically if dress patri-
otlcaliy you must If 1t will relieve
The strain some. then invest in one
OF the tiny flag pins. It's big
enough badge and incidentally you
VIII be helping the allies since all
me Italian fruit vendors are putting
fhelr money IN and are peddling WAY
embsems these days instead OF ha.
nanas. Otherwise if you really want
10 help your country don't dress tho
part but act it. Carry hoe instead
OF red, white and blue parasol and
wear red cross instead of a red
white and blue hat.
The American girl who is "white
true blue and we'll read. doesn IT need
to drape herself in an American flae
to show her true colors.
