appreciation. From the Japanese view
point a quantity OF blossoms would
indicate poor taste and lack Of refine
ment. The aim of the flower artist in
Japan is to create true picture Of
nature. For this reason they prefer
Opaque vessels to hold their cut fiov-
ers, as glass would destroy the illu-
sion of blossoms still growing from
the earth.
Every flower arrangement, says the
artist, must contain the triangle, which
is the base OF all composition. Try to
imagine an isosceles triangle. its long
est line being perpendicular and
reaching from the vase to the topmost
blossom. The other two lines should
meet about midway at the left side.
Keep this triangle In your mind a.

~HE is a stenographer IN mer-
camille concern. She has been
there for Eve years at the same
salary, good salary for the concern and
the town where she works. but she
feels that she ought to be making a
future for herself" She has ability in
several lines, good education and has
Travelled. She is impatient for better
opportunity, better work, better pay.
She says her town is too small for a
future, that the salaries are too low,
but the main point Of her argument is
that she "detests" being chained to a
typewriter, she hates" being ma
chine, and wants to know how she can
help herself.
There is no reason why this girl
should not be making a future for her
self. and realizing her yearnings. The
very fact that she is reaching out for
better things is an indication that It is
in her to do better and bigger things.
The first obstacle to her progress,
however. IS in her own mind. She
knows that she doesn't want TO do
stenography, but she has no definite
idea as 10 what she does want to do.

uses. il you are situated without

shpuld heed this hint. A newspaper
will also give warmth. A motorist
found this out when travelling against

Simplicity Is Keynote Of All
French Dress

Another early fall street costume tor
the lady-child laid all OF Its charm TO
color. II was a dark serge coat cut
on the simplest of lines and almost
tight in At. II was worn over a bright
orange chiffon frock which hung be-
low the coat four or more inches and
which allowed It's large sailor collar
to fall out over the blue of the coat
There was simple little close-fitting
hat OF dark blue velvet adorned only
with a band of the same color of blue
ribbon. There were blue slippers with
big bows and blue silk stockings.
The hats are so quaint and so suit
able that by faint stretch of the inn
aginstlon one believes them to have
been designed and made by the chill
dren themselves. They have not a YES
, tise OF frame or lining They are made
solely Of the material chosen for their
construction. You wonder how this
can be. A three-inch brim is made OF
heavy tailor's satin in black and
lined with orchid-colored silk There
ls only a narrow cord about the edge
and that is covered with the black sat
in. Then the brim droops below the
soft, black satin crown. II entirely
obscures one eye, II is charming
Another hat is made in bonnet shape
of black velvet. 1t has a high soft
crown and of turned-up inch-wide
brirn. Its trimming is row of bows
OF narrow orange ribbon straight
aorDss the front. You lift the hat and
on It's crown. inside you discover an
orange lining TO match the row of lit
tie bows on the outside. Another one
with a brim made Of silky black vel
vet. has a row OF cretonne flower de-
signs appliqued around its brim
The gowns for the children display
variety and individuality in their
makeups. But, above all, they are
charming because they are entirely
handmade and always they have some
touch of hand embroidery about them
for trimming or for a finish OF some
Sort. One little early fall frock had
top of dark blue satin and lower sec
tion OF dark blue terry cloth in wool
The satin portion was embroidered
with a chain stitch In red, making
regular pattern of diamonds over the
surface of the satin. Then the low and
rounded neck and the short sleeves
were edged with a triple row, of the
same chain stitching.
In this love of making suitable
clothes for their children the French
parents do not by any means neglect
their sons. Much more care is be-
slowed upon the individual clothing of
boy than is ordinarily considered
necessary in other countries, If he is
slender and dark. he has a rather full
suit of some bright Jersey silk. II he
is inclined TO be plump and blonde, Ibis
clothes. are more pastel in colorlhR
and much tighter In general form and
Ht. Wherever he Is and whatever he
is doing. he is bound. like his fair sis
ter, TO be part OF the picture.
