WHAT THE WISE GIRLS WANT
Perfect Health, Good Features and ?
Clean Skin Leave Very Little
to Worry About.

1t is the rare girl who hasn't some
thing about herself that she doesn't
like. Perhaps this Is as well, since
youth is inclined to be self-centered
and egotistical. Which sounds like a
paradox, but what is youth but a para
dox?
If young girl is in perfect health,
and can boast good features and a
clean skin, she has nothing to worry
about, so far as looks are concerned.
That her eyes are brown instead of
blue, or her face is round instead of
oval, and something else is one way
instead of another, are matters not to
worry over. There are just as many
people who like brown eyes as there
are those who like blue, and vice
versa.
What every girl should be concerned
about first of all is her disposition. Is
she sweet? Is she agreeable? Is she
thoughtful and helpful? These are the
really big things in a girls life as well
as in the life of everyone else. Second.
she should be careful about her health.
Often from the state of her health
comes her disposition. A bad stomach
will make a sour temper. Bad stom-
achs are often caused, in girls, from
unwise eating, and too little outdoor
exercise. Candles, pickles, white
bread, strong coffee, are the Waterloo
of many a girls happiness and sue
cess in life

FATE OF THE SHORT JACKET
Doubt Is Expressed Whether the One
Time Popular Garment Will Re-
tain Its Past Favor.

1t is question as to whether the
short jacket will remain at the pin
nacle of fashion, but nevertheless a
woman who wants to be in the picture
will risk a chance on it and will find
that it is not an easy garment to
achieve through alteration, says New
York fashion correspondent.
There is another type of coat, which
appeared in America year ago In a
modified form, and upon which the
French place high valuation. 1t is
usually called the buttOnless jacket. 1t
is crossed in the front in surplice form,
and these fronts extend into long ends
that go across the peplum of the jacket
at the back, are loosely knotted, and
then dropped.
There is a short jacket which has
taken the long one as it's inspiration,
peplum 1t is fashioned after the
sweaters that were worn this winter.
1t reaches to the waistline, and the
fronts. crossing below the bust, make
a soft girdle and Japanese bow at
the back.
The Elton jacket, the bolero, the bell
boy jacket and the Dag0bert corslet
are in high fashion, but they are gar-
ments that demand to be bought today
from a tailor or a shop. They cannot
be evolved with any degree of success
from something that was good in other
days.

FR0Ck FOR STREET
Fine Serge or Gaberdine Material,
Any Preferred Shade.
Sleeves May Be Finished With Cuffs
of White Satin, Turnover Collar
Matching Them.

The sketch illustrates an exception
ally smart and unusual spring street
frock, to be made up of fine serge or
gaberdine, and, of course, in any pre-
ferred shade. Navy is suggested as
first choice, although tan or beige
would undoubtedly be smart.
This is one of the straight line frocks
that conserves fabric and still man
ages to avoid any suggestion of skimpi-
ness. Simplicity is the keynote of the
gown.
The skirt proper is straight 1t meas
ures two yards at the hem when fin
ished. Over this comes the circular
shaped or apron overskirt. The upper
or major part of this overskirt, as will
be noted, is rather short, and it is
brought to the desired length by the
addition of six shaped sections, each
approximately two inches wide, hem
med by hand and overlapping so that
the stitches necessary to join them
are not visible.
The bodice is plain, with rather long
shoulders, trifiing fullness at the
waistline, and with closely fitted
sleeves. The, sleeves may be finished
with cuffs of white satin, the turnover
collar matching them or cuffs and col
lar may be of natural color pongee or
of silk in any preferred color contrast
ing with the frock. The waist buttons
at the center back. and sash match
ing the frock is simply folded about
the waist and tied in fiat bow at the
back.
This design is one that is distinctly
suited to wool fabric, and to attempt
to make it up in satin or any of the
popular silks would be to rob the frock
of smartnesS.

parel one important point that should
be borne in mind is that shoetop length
