A serviceable cape wrap of tan tri-
cotinc. The rows of buttons are
covered with the material. The
toque is fashioned Of alternate
bands of straw and rolls of tadets
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
WHEN the armistice was first signed
w and the whole world awoke to the
fact that the war was over, everything
seemed so bright and glowing. There
was no branch of the worlds industries
that so quickly showed the difference
between wartime and peacetime than
the dress and fashion trades. The de-
sgners, both in Paris and on this side
OF the water, at once placed before the
buying public creations which were
bright and happy in design as well as
in coloring. The women in general
showed their enthusiasm in the changed
condition by buying new frocks.
Every woman wanted 10 look her best
and II must be admitted that after
November there was a decided improve
ment in almost every woman's attire.
But already we are beginning to know
that there Is still much work to be
done, and that the world Is not YET
set straight by any means. The French
designers, according TO letters from the
other side, are feeling that there are
other things for them to do. The clothes
| that they have shown SO far for the
coming season are not therefore radica
| in their departures
One of the indications that fashions
are not changing rapidly may be noteC
in the style of wrap that Is shown to
day. This coat has conventional lines
There is also every reason to believe
that II will live through the entire sea
son. This cape wrap is made OF tar
tricotine. A row Of buttons covered will
the material is used as decoration
at either side OF the back and ais,
outlines the armholes. Large buttonl
trim the deep collar.
The toque Is made OF alternate band
Of straw and rolls Of taffeta. Al
ostrich feather trims the hat at the rish
side.

Dear Madam-Kindly tell me some way to

pussy willows expensive w. w. +.
In some localities pussy willows can be
bought for ten and fifteen cents a spray

include a few in your decorations. for
they are so graceful and combine SO well
with flowers At this time of the year
daffodils and white tulips are cheaper
than any other flowers In some shops
the daffodils are seventy-five cents a
dozen and In others 81 or a little more.
Sweet peas are also rather reasonable
in many places fifty cents a bunch.

dis, pink sweet peas and the pussy will

tion by mail.

How TO Reduce

To the Editor Of Woman's Page:
Dear Madam-Will you kindly tell me
the correct weight for girl Ave feet two
inches in height and who is eighteen years
old? MORE THAN ANXIOUS.
The correct weight for a woman five
feet two inches is 1913. pounds. But as a
girl eighteen years of age has not
reached full development, one must dis
count for that.
In answer to your second question. the
best way TO reduce is by diet and exer-
else. Any healthy exercise, such as
course in gymnasium work, bicycle or
walking, that Is pursued regularly, IL
recommended. Jumping rope helps to re-
duce the hips. whatever is done must
be done regularly. As for diet, keep from
sweet and starchy foods This includes
sweets and pastries, heavy cakes, etc,
and vegetables, such as potatoes, rice,
etc.
with some It Is natural to be feFhy,
but the exercise and diet ought to reduce
the tendency.

and that this dose OF them had quite
gone to their heads. The guess was
wrong, as was proved along about
May OF that year. The girls from
the West simply went with the boys
because they were lonesome and had
nothing better to do. 1t was in May
