Republican Women Wear
Tiny Ivory Elephants
In Washington.

The New York Tribune publishes
the following dispatch from its
Washington Bureau:
Republican women officially con-
nected with the party organization
have started fad for wearing small
white ivory elephants on gold chains
or narrow black ribbons around their
necks. This fashion is being car
ried to many parts of the country
by the folks who came here to at
tend the National Executive COM
mittee meeting just adjourned. To
Rhode Island is given the credit for
originating the custom, as Mrs. Ed
ward S. Moulton, the state chair
woman, was one of the pioneers in
the movement.
when Mrs. Moulton appeared in
Washington this week with the
cleaning elephant at her throat the
other women were so delighted with
the effect they Immediately wanted
a similar indication of their affilia-
ton with the party. So Miss Mary
Garrett Hay, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the women's divi-
sion, selected the white elephants as
dinner favors on the occasion of
her formal welcome to the visiting
women"

several hours perhaps, before the
time set for the meal, and put upon
the table steaming hot at the ap-

years ago. Yet that is what is hap
pening today in some places, due to
the community kitchen.
The Woman's club of Evanston,
ILL.,, has established . community
kitchen, an outgrowth of wartime
food conservation activities, which
has already proved its value in
many homes. 1t serves a simple
dinner of soup, meat, two hot vege-
tables or one vegetable and 4 salad,
and dessert at from about IS cents
to ST. person. The meal, cooked
by experts in the ce..tral kitchen. is
packed in glass-lined, metal. insula-
ted containers of pleasing shape,
which may be set directly upon the
table and used as serving dishes,
thus eliminating still more work for
the busy housekeeper. These dishes
are so constructed that they fit to-
gether, one upon the other, on a
solid base. Over them an outer
jacket or case of insulated steel is
placed, clamped securely to the base
and the whole is ready for delivery
by motor truck to the home kitchen.
The community kitchen is fit

saving devices. In the opinion Of
many, it is the next step in simpli-

Becoming to Blonde
and Brunette

Most becoming to the blonde are:
Jade earrings of palest jade, with
quaint silver mountings and pend
ants.
Furs of gray or blush gray, such
as moleskin, gray fox, blue lynx or
chinchilla, are most becoming with
a clear pink and white complexion.
Turquoise worn in any form
makes, her skin look a dazzling
white. A toque of turquoise velvet
or a hand craft necklace of these
stones set with silver are charming.
Blue grays make fetching cos
tunes in either the strictly tailored
mode or the dress frock of silk and
georgettc.
Black velvet hats or coats are be-
coming to her, too.
Dark green for the sports jacket
is suggestion.
Becoming touches for the brunette
are black Jet beads worn with either
black or white.
Henna colored wrist ribbons Of
MORE or grosgrain.
White fur or marabou worn on
either neckpiece or hat.
Rhinestone hair ornaments, set in
either platinum or mother of pearl in
the new style, contrast most effec-
lively with black hair.
Red beads with the serge frock.
The new black velvet ribbon cir
c1ets, worn as bracelets with up-to-
date short sleeves. These are tipped
with tiny flowers and are most
piquant and lovely on . youthful
wrist.
A toque of persimmon-colored vel

and ma" stealing her aces.
A young moulder met a girl in
Chicago where she was going to
school. He was working at his
trade in = South Side foundry. When
the school term was out the girl
went home, satisfied with the pros
poets of taking care Of her moulder's
pay. check and putting up his daily
lunch. Her departure was with an
earnest invitation to come and meet
PA" and MA" and the rest Of the
family did a. soon a. he could. The
mouler did.
A picture taken one noon hour at
the foundry put the first crimp In
the game. Overalls and grimy
face did not set well with mas idea
Of daughters matrimonial ship.
Pas ideas Of financial backing went
further than a substantial pay check
and q steady Job. To make long
story short the moulder left with
q warm spot in his heart a. far as
the girl was concerned, but needing
an overcoAt in July to make up for
"pa" and mas" welcome
atmosphere. Respect for his own
father and mother caused the young
man to leave the girl to her parents
wishes.
They got what they wanted for
her later. a young fellow taking 1t
easy with dads" money filled the
bill very nicely. A bill for divorce
fallowed about year later. Pa and
ma sunk the ship. This IL per-
sonal experience, but then our own
experiences are what We judge
from.
The philosophy of 1t Is this: The
fellow who works hard for what he
gets comes home at night content to
stay and be with the woman who
makes 1t pleasant for him what few
hours he has to himself. The con-
tentment she brings to him in that
time makes her the most wonderful
woman there Is to him. There's a
peace in the simple life hard to beat.
A roll of Jack is not necessary, for
the New York Life or the Prudential
will take care of those We leave If
one tends to that precaution. They
never failed to pay q policy yet.

Diamonds are very expensive. A

about $500. A cluster IL less sx-

you should pay depends upon the
