There is considerable black used on
many Of the colored handkerchiefs. but
no one could possibly confuse this style
with the mourning handkerchief, for il
only black is used, it is in such bold
design that it does not in the least
appear like mourning. Usually, how

such as blue, green or pink. Very
often the black is used in n plaid effect

.0NER and over again we have heard
~ that there is very little linen to be
had, until We have all ceased to expect
to see it in the shops. And long ago
we gave up putting the acid tests to
prospective purchases to determine
whether or not the article was pure
linen. After all, there has been little
cause to complain Of the fine lawn
handkerchiefs that have been intro
durCd as a substitute for the all linen
handkerchiefS of other days. TO be
sure. one pays quite as much for the
fine lawn as was once paid for the
linen. but the good quality washes and
wears very we'll. indeed.
Instead of the cOlored handkerchief
being only a hpctiug fancy, as many
expected, it has grown in popularity
until at present there is a greater va
| ripty of colorcd handkcrChicfs in the
shops TO choose from than there are of
white designs. Not only are there many
| colorcd handkerchiefs but some of them
are very gaudy in their cOloring; al
most too much so for conservative
women. These highly toned handker =
chiefs cannot, of course. be subjected
to the same washing process that can
be given the all white kind. The same
kind of treatment that one would give a
colored cotton froCk should be the rule
when washing colored handkerchiefs.
The colored handkerchief is really n
day time accessory, and the dainty
white handkerchief is still considered
the correct type for dress up in the
evening.

noted mother in law joke has been

dreds of young people who vowed and

fathers in law and mothers in law and
various sized little in laws every morn
ing of their idyllic existence. and to date
no accidents have been reported.
The mother in law, be she hers or
his, has certainly won her spurs during
the last two years. First it was the
war. His mother opened wide her heart
and her home TO the girl she had never
met until two weeks before the hasty
camp wedding, and she kept them open
for the duration Of the war. And now
it is the housing situation With the
homecoming of troops from overseas
there is an unprecedented rush of wed =
dings. and if it weren't for the wei
coming arms Of in n-laws on both sides
am afraid the newlyweds would be

of the word or. what is more probable.
