NEW YARk'S
LATEST FASHIONS IN
9eloAL BOUQUETS
tBy Betty Brown

New York, May 30.--When 1t comes
to the bridal bouquet there is another
revival to note, for any number OF
fashions brides are carrying those
around, compact, tailored7looking
bouquet, precisely such as the brides
of greatgrandma's day towed to the
altar. Lace.paper background, rib
bon streamers and all, are here.
Thorley has inaugurated a vogue
for two kinds of flowers in the bou-
ouet. not mingled but in distinct
masses as. for instance. white roses
and wisteria with innumerable fall
ing streamers and loops of white rib.
bon. Boutonnieres, each complete In
itself. are tied in the ribbons and
with this Thorley has set a new fash
ion. Before she throws here bou-
ouet. after the conventional method,
the bride removes the boutonnieres,
one by one and bestows them upon
the ushers and other favored ones
among the reception guests.
Max Schling does lovely things
with field flowers though he never
uses more than one kind in bou-
ouet. Cultivated buttercups until the
field ones are out are a favorite and
he revels in great "set" bouquets OF
white petunias and white gerahniums
Some of the fashionable brides
have substituted sherherdess baskets
swung from the arm by long ribbon
looms for the regulation bouquet
these filled with boutonnieres, sur
rounding the large bouquet. This
scheme leaves the brides hands free
TO carry the little white velium pray
or book. and so does another that is
really the very last word in the brid.
al bouquet.
And. finally, there is the pyramidal
bouquet. This is a loose sheaf type
and tight bouquet in combination,
the top being of loose flowers with a
firm foundation.

JUST PLAIN TALK

Dr. Frank Crane, writing in the
New York Globe, under the caption
OF "Plain Talk to Mr. Bolshy,' gives
this sound advice:
Just a little plain talk with you,
Mr.. Bolshy, il you please.
You have been complaining about
everything and everybody till it has
got on my nerves. You objected to
the war, you objected to Baker. you
objected to Daniels, you objected to
Wilson going abroad and to what he
did when he came home, you found
fault with everybody that has done
anything recently.
America also seems to you bum
country, and the only true democracy
is in Russia
You don't like the League Of Ma
tions nor the Victory Loan. Govern
ment control of the railroads, tele
graphs and express companies is the
bright particular target for your
sneers.
And so on,
Now listen!
We don't have an ideal govern
ment in this U S. A. We don't
claim to have one And the reason is
that we don't want one
But we've the kind of government
the people voted for. Please get that.
We don't know everything, we have
not arrived al perfection, and our
government is like us--just mud
ding along doing the best it can un
der the circumstances
That, my friend, is democracy,
doing the task in hand as best We
can, meeting crises not with excellent
theories but with practical intelli-
gence.
You rail at the government because
it has not made any money running
the railroads. II did not take over the
railroads to earn money. but 10 win
the war.
1t had a certain, definite purpose, to
transport men and supplies needed to
lick Germany regardless of expense.

thing regardless of expense" since
it jumped into the war And that is
why we won We were the nation
hat did not have to count the cost
We were ready to put up our las,

quick.
