fairy godmotherish thrill to
start her corner right of with the
presentation of such lucky find" as
she has made at MILLER 4 RHOADS.
She insists she wants to wave a wand
and say. Behold" Frilly. crisp. and
just unpacked from their boxes, are
the ARREST little dancing frocks i'm
aginable, at the very moderate prices
of S25 and S45. Polly just turned a
corner rather suddenly, and there they
swung, a little line OF them in a wave
of color that ran through maize, april
cot, coral, blue. white and black. the
last accentuated with a single violet
! orchid caught against the girdle. Tney
were fashioned Of tulie draped rather
quantity over cloth Of gold or silver,
all different, and all delightful.
A little more substantial, but just as
much to be desired Is a sealskin stole
that boasts the Accomplishment Of
being able TO turn itself into coatee
when the wearer dons a separate belt.
and she may help along the camounage
by thrusttns her hands in the pockets
set in each end. This scarf may be
bought for SIS in the worthwhile sale
OF furs now taking place at Miller &
Rhoads. or another for s95 IL one wants
a longer coatee.
OF time this winter to say "B-r-r-r."
when there's frost on the ground and
tang In the air. and you want to
cuddle down into warm furs. At
Miller & Rhoads sale you can find
them-big. snugGle-in coats for mo-
toring, fly-away scarfs and muffs for
walking and skating. gracefully falling
stoles and capes for formal wear--in
fact, all sorts OF furs for all sorts OF
folks and functions. and at perfectly
surprising values.
n oLDEN brown on top. creamy yell
NJ low underneath, and Of that
custardy softness which charac-
terizes real old-fashioned spoon
bread-regular F. F. v. spoon-bread,
in fact-Polly found It once more, after
she had almost begun to think there
wasn't any such animal any longer
MRS. COOK, she discovered, still
knows how to make It; and, more than
that, knows how to serve 1t in the
generous helpings you feel you must
nave II your happiness Is to be quite
complete. And you sit down ana ca,
1t comfortably at a nice, honey little
table In nice. honey room, along
with lot Of folks who act as II they
belonged there. and had at last found
what they also had been looking for
long time, and didn't mean to part
from any time soon.' They, as werY az
Polly. evidently recognized that extra
ordinary spoon-bread the minute they
shifted it and tasted 1t, and knew 1t
was made. sure huff, out of real
water ground meal and eggs. And
perhaps they were remembering as
they ate 1t the long ago days when
their knees were always skinned and
1t always got dark too early; when
they used to troop Into the dining
room at supper time and eat tremen-
dously of that same delectable spoon
bread-golden brown, yellow and Gus
tard-soft! Yes it's the sort Of thing
you dream over. and go back for sec
ond helpings of!-at Mrs. Cooks Cafe
terra.
DOLLY, all dressed up in corsase
/ Of violets sent her by Certain
Person no longer in France,
stopped in at HAMMOND's the other
day. Perhaps she went there because
she was giving her flowers a chance
for peep at what used to be home,
but more probably because she was
looking for more of the same kind to
give her mother on the approachin
birthday. II think mothers must, in
their secret souls. get awfully tired
OF the nice. useful presents. usually be-
slowed on middle-aged people-huE-
me-tights and darning baskets and
things like that. I'm sure that when
I'm forty or fifty I'll be Just as crazy
about having violets as am now
and even more So, because they'll be
so much fewer and farther between
then" she explained to the apprecia-
tive young man who was taking her
order besides. one can say 1t with
flowers so much more appropriately
to mothers as well as to sweethcarts.
I think" Hammond's flowers always
have dewy' freshness about them
that makes the message they carry
doubly sweet. and that Is why Polly,
who is very particular young person
indeed. says she always likes to have
the Hammond name on the box,
whether she Is receiving or giving It.
