" DIS car? You know she isn't any
: loo well off, but good night! You ought
TO see her this year She has one of
those limousines that cost less than
thousand and she has everything but the
kitchen stove in the way Of an accessory
till II II we're not for few bumps as you
glide along you'd think you we're in one
of the very newest
In, the first place. she has acquired
one of the new hats that have just come
out Somehow you don't realize that
the hat Is especially new, because it's
of silk, and It has high crown and
narrow brim but instead OF the usual
stitching it's crisscross and the brim
turns UP the least bit in the world In
the back and is pointed the tiniest bit
in the front. Hers Is wonderful shade
OF purple.
= Then, it you please. when you get into
= the car and lean back against the cush-
ions and stretch your feet out before
you suddenly you come into contact
with a funny little thing that moves
around in a circle under your foot.
asked Mrs D what in the world II
was, and it's zone of the latest accesso-
ries"-a foot exhilarator. Can you beat
St? Your feet have to be exhilarated
these days. It's padded with rubber, and
if you take a long ride and your feet
get cramped you just roll the balls OF
said feet neatly up against said eXhilira-
tor, and you feel just as II you had been
out walking Then l stretched out my
hand and rested it upon the neatest
leather pad you ever saw. Another
accessory" said Mrs D.. And pretty
soon 1 began 10 think I was in mighty
swell car
Auto Lining to Match Eyes
Till I did ride in Mrs. C-'s and
then, oh then You know, she has the
most wonderful blue eyes and fair hair
Well, my dear. the very, very latest Is
10 have your lining match your eyes or
hair--that Is, your auto lining-and that
car OF hers, which is rich blue ana
black on the outside, is lined with the
Ioveliest shade of blue you ever saw
The little vase for flowers is of the new
est cut in glass and has an edge OF the
loveliest blue enamel, and she always
keeps it full of pale-pink roses. All the
! accessories in that car have silver-and-
blue trimmings, till you feel almost as
IL you were in boudoir, when you go
go into II.
''There are some people you know
said Ethel to me, "who represent let
ters or colors OF flowers. Now you
Nancy. for instance, your letter is A,
and your flower is yellowish lily
Rave on" said T. Does this go with
cars for instance. On yes. Sdlu
Your car is very long and green and IL
has a chauffeur and a footman.' l
don't know whether she meant that !
was long and green or not, but know
that II there are any long greens
about. I'd be glad to see them. l like
that being called a lily. for had she just
said that was yellowish, l might have
been peeved.
It's wonderful how the cars are plan
n n
It's the latest thing with dressmakers
and milliners--to suit gowns and hats
and cars. There's a woman in town
whose grey hair is the envy of many.
It's simply wonderful And do you
know her whole car is grey. light grey
enamel and silver trimmings; even the
flower vase in a silver holder The whole
effect is superb. The veils the women
are wearing this year have wide striped
borders of self color. and it seems TO me
that green as usual predominates. I
wonder why, for though the effect is
wonderful as the car skins by, it's any
thing but wonderful against the skin of
most women, don't YOU think?
1 saw n great effect yesterday. Mrs
+. was riding In her tan colored
limousine. which is lined with a lighter
shade or tan. She wore n brown ton
coat with nutria collar and cuffs and a
tiny brown straw toque trimmed with a
couee colored rose, while a brown figured
Veil kept her dark hair smooth. The
chauffeur was in brown livery and
really the effect was all that could be-
desired
On Their Way Rejoicing
Ihe trouble about cars seems alwavs
10 De IN the beginning. doesn't II? You
see, IL was this way: Margaret and Beg
sic decided that they had been out
enough with the chauffeur to know how
10 run the car themselves. So, armed
with long linen busters, blue hats and
nuch-automobile gloves, they started
forth The sun was shining overhead"
Margaret explained to me. I did not
ask IL she expected IL TO shine under
foot, but her remark was further ex-
planned by the fact that she did not
therefore, expect the streets to be wet.
and so when a Walnut street car came
nty-firstward how was she to know
that the brake would not work? Well,
In few words, IL didn't, and bump bang
into the car. so hard went said auto
that the woman who had just entered
the trolley and handed out her five
cents to the conductor sat promptly
down on'the floor of the car. OF course,
there was much conductor, motorman
and traffic cop. And Bessie, of course,
decided to defend Margaret THE sun
was shining overhead" she declared
Vigorously and distinctly and was not
TO be gainsaid TIL the majesty OF the
law told her TO keep quiet
Well. after much conversation they
