this space are gold letters in Chinese,
evidently the Chinese letters for good
luck and happiness. The cord is of
purple silk rattail, threaded with
cherry colored beads.
There are many feather fans Of un-
curled ostrich, but while these fans are
very long, they usually open to about
half the width of the ordinary fan.
Fans made of quilts are very smart,
and for those who are not superstitious
there are some perfect beauties made
of peacock feathers.
Hand painted fans on silk. satin asd
even paper are very lovely. The expen =
siye kind done on satin ofttimes have
sticks of pearl. The sticks, too, are
sometimes painted in a dainty flower
design.
One of the cutest fans I have seen,
and one which any woman with al idea
of making things could easily copy, was
made of an ordinary palmleaf fan. This
was cut down smaller than small Die
plate. The entire thing was bound with
picot light blue ribbon; even the han
die. From the handle was attached A
loop TO carry II, aud nesting on both
sides Of the fan, where the fan joins the
handle, was a small buneh Of French
flowers IN delightful colorinss.

SNHILADI" fans! 1t is many year
A'A since fans were really the mode
as they are this summer. But there is
every reason why they should be. In
the first place, the clothes of the women
allow everything feminine and surely the
fan as we'll as the parasOl belongs to
this type of clothing. The women have
more time, too, to fit the fan, and the
hot summer makes it a necessity in
stead Of luxury. To be perfectly hon
est with you, though, few of them give
the impression of necessity. as they are
very gorgeous affairs indeed. One thing.
however. in their favor is that there are
few of the gauzy kind, through which
al the air floats without ever reaching
the individual manipulating it,

HOW DOES GOSSIP START
AND KEEP ON A-GOLNG?
Here's illustration of HosO Vacations Cdn Be Made More
Mysterious Than the Movies sat

GUNNER is the open season for gos-
~ sip. How It thrives and fourishes
on the front porch in the afternoon as
women sit and sew. but perhaps the
most fertile happy hunting ground of
all for tales uncertain is the summer
hotel or boarding house. Women who
have never seen the sight of each other s
faces before seem to be able to get init
mate at three minutes notice, all on
the strength Of bit of scandal about
some man or woman entirely unknown
to them until perhaps the night before.
How does gossip start? Well now
let's take piece of it:
Scene-Lobby of summer hotel
Time-11 80 p. m. o.,
Mrs. B.-'No, no. not that one.
Don't look, don't look. She'll think
we're talking about her. You can look
afterward. Oh, you can't miss her.
Why, I'm surprised you haven't heard.
Everybody in the hotels talking about
it. Wait a minute, now you can look. /.
Over there in the turquoise blue sweater
asking for ice water. No, it's her key
she's after. See, there; she's asking for
her key.
my dear, you'd never think It, And
mind, it may not be true. There are
so many gossipy people. am not say
ing for minute that it's true and l
wouldn't want to prejudice you against
her for the world Yes, she is quite a
pretty meek looking little woman. But
you know how it is, dear, she's quite
kind. You know I've always noticed
in watching for the womans picture in
murder trial that she'll turn out to
be one of those quiet looking women
Gracious, No! It's nothing like that.
wait minute-that horrid little
woman on the third floor is listening TO
every word I'm saying. I gave her a
look-I guess that'll hold her for n
while.
Where was I-oh, yes-well, it's
all very mysterious. You see Mrs. A
you Know Mrs. A?-that good looking
woman you see me with so much
loads of money and two cars, dear.
Well in 1911--or was it 1912?-no 1911
that's right, the AS were in Switzer-
land, and, my dear, that woman was
stopping at the same hotel. Isn't that
scream-stopping at the same hotel? :?
Well, my dear-that woman was put
out of the hotel. The AS got there
the night it happened. Mrs. A can
swear it's the same woman because she
only got one look at her and at the
time she didn't know she was anybody
unusual. 1t was all done very quietly.
Porter carried out her trunk just as
though she was leaving like any other
guest. 1t wasn't until the next morn
ing after breakfast that Mrs. A heard
everybody saying she had been asked
to leave. No one ever found out why,
but it was something about two men.
The proprietor denied it, of course, but
everybody knew, my dear. And what
makes it all the more mysterious now,
she's changed her name. Perfect
scream, Mrs. A says. We looked at
the register and she has an entirely
different name. Just a second, dear,
think that's Mr.. B coming up the
steps. Yes, it is, I can tell him by
his cough-caught an awful cold, stayed
in too long the first day-now don't
breathe a word of it to a soul. !

Cafeteria in Paris

city, who directed the original foyer,

home. 1t will be open within a few
weeks.
80 many French girls and women
have been left absolutely alone through
the loss of their men in the war. that
they need more than ever before lodg-
ings that are also home to them"
Miss Jones said. "The first day / told
my girls that there would be lodgings
in the new building, six of them applied
for rooms and each one of the six was
entirely alone in Paris and dependent
upon her own earnings through the loss
Of one or more men in her family"
Such Y. w. G. A. homes ms this ono
are common in America, but they are
absolutely unknown here. Gymnasiums,
club rooms, honey lodgings and in
expensive restaurants were introduced
as emergency war measures to meet the
needs of the great masses of women
turned into industry by the war. -.
The days of war are over, but not
the days of French working women.
The women are in business to stay.
And the American Y. w. G. A. hous-
ing plan is to be permanent, too. The
newly leased building will house fifty
women. There are four floors and
garden court. ., ..s. ~
Workmen now are painting In the
big blue Triangle sign over the
building. But the sign is not war sign
now. 1t is the mark of peace needs.

Some Beauty Suggestions

To the Editor Of Woman's Pa0e:r
Dear Madam would indeed appre-
ciate it if were to see the answers to
the following questions in your valued
column at your earliest convenience.
Can you advise something harmless
that will tighten the hair? My hair
seems to be getting darker every day
and would like very much to keep it
light. At one time / was advised to
use a little borax when washing the
hair, but this seemed to split the hair
and SO l discontinued the use of it.
When using lemon juice on the neck
to whiten it, should it be allowed to
remain on all night also it is all right
TO use it on the face? How often should
it be used-every night?
Can you also suggest something that
will whiten the teeth, and something
that will lengthen the eyelashes. l have
been using vaselne, but this does not
seem to do much good. MRS. II. G.
Try putting little lemon juice in the
rinse water when you wash your hair
This will keep your hair light, but if
it seems to make your hair too dry, do
not use it. If your hair is at all dry
or brittle, the lemon juice may increase
this tendency. The shampoo that you
mention is very good, but the best thing
to use is CASTLE soap shavings, made
into a thick lather with warm water.
Allow the lemon juice to remain 'on
your neck overnight, and use it on the
face If necessary, but do not use it
every night. Use it only about three
times a week or even less than that.
Prepared chalk will keep your teeth
white, but If they are not white, have
a dentist clean them to start with.
vaseline makes your eyelashes grow
thicker, but there is no preparation
that can be guaranteed to make them
longer

green tomatoes into boiling water
and then sprinkle with three table
spoons of salt, Place in a square of

Tomato Dumplings

Place in mixing bowl
TlCo cups Of -four,
One teaspoon Of salt
One-quarter teaspoon of pepper,
Four teaspoons Of baking ponder.
Sift to mix and then rub in four
tablespoons of shortening and use
two-thirds of cup of water to make
dough. Divide into five parts and
then roll each piece into squares.
Place in the center of each one a
peeled tomato, cut in slices, and sea-
son with little grated onion, pars-
ley, salt and pepper. Fold the dough
over. Place in baking sheet and
brush the tops with beaten eggs.
Bake in hot oven for thirty min
Ctes. Serve with cheese sauce.
Many folk quickly tire of tomatoes
because frequently the housewife
will serve them morning, noon and
night until the family has lost its
appetite for them; this is one cause
why the tomato is usually neglected
Tor the rest OF the season. Keep the
fact in mind that variety is the spice
of life and that this is doubly true in
regard to food.
So do not overuse this fine vege-
table until the family breads the
sight of it, but rather use a varied
recipe three or four times a week,
serving them fried for breakfast,
stuffed with coleslaw for lunch and
stuffed with rice and cheese and
served with cream sauce for luncheon
and dinner. On hot night when
using tomatoes for salad. have them
icy cold. Remove skin before chill
ing. Use fresh tomatoes, cut in thin
slices and cover with grated onion
and finely minced green pepper and a
little grated cheese.
