Women Must Use Shades That
Are Picked for Them.
No Chance to Exercise Own
Taste, Says Writer.

Launching a new color nowadays is
attended with as much ceremony as
the launching of battleship, Amy E.
HOgeboOm writes in the New York
Herald. Not that there is such a
thing as a new color, nor that cOlors
are scarce. Neither has it anything to
do with the dye situation, but the
fact is that the manufacturers assem-
bic each season and decide to allow
certain shades to be placed on the
market at that season. If you should
wish for any shade which they have
decided is not to be you may as well
give up in the beginning. This does
the majority of the well-dressed wom-
en- not cleverly cajoled into wanting
the shade that the manufacturers
have decided they shall want.
Allowing. only a few colors out of
the bag at one time has its advan-
tages, for when the popularity of one
has worn off bit there are plenty of
others left from which to select the
next one for the center of the stage.
The disadvantage is that as far as the
woman herself is concerned she has
little or no opportunity to exercise
her own taste; she is almost as help
less in the matter as she would be
had she no color sense at all. She
may find a dressmaker willing to cut
her gown somewhat as she wishes or
tailor who may humor her in like
manner, but unless she has special
dyeing done for her she must select
from the colors set before her.
Last fall some one hit upon shade
which he called henna as an especial
attraction. 1t might have been in
spired by some canon of art or it
might have been suggested by the Rus
sian dressing of the business mans
luncheon, but the women wore it, and
that is all they had to say about it.
For the greater part the women are
willing sheep in matters of dress, be
it color or line, and if not naturally
thus inclined they show. good sense
not to try to stray too far away. Hav-
ing purchased one article in a color
not approved by the color censor, for
really we have censors for everything
nowadays, it will be found impossible
to match the color in anything else
and an utterly hopeless task.

1 want to tell you about and this was
what the keeper said:
"You're six months old today" he
told the zebu child, 'and now you
must be taken from your mother and
made to look after yourself a little
more.
"'You've had your mother all to
yourself for quite long time, you
must now learn howapot to be baby
and how to be a grown-up zebu.'
"'Ah I'm six months old today the
zebu child said proudly. Think,
mother, I'm six months old
eyes, my child is a grown-up son
now she said, he is a real zebu!'
"The zebus, you know, are the sa-
cred cattle of India. They look like
great gray cows, only they have
humps. Their faces are like cows and
they belong to that family.
There is no reason for their
humps, and no special reason why
they should be made the sacred cat
tie of India. But still they have
humps and they have always been
considered the sacred cattle of India
just the same.
"Both the Mr.. Zebus and the Mrs.
Zebus have horns and they're all
pretty nice for the most part.
'Good-by to your babyhood,' said
Mother Zebu sadly, for though she
was proud that her child was really a
child now and not a baby, still she
couldn't bear to think athat his baby
days were over.
"The zebu baby, or zebu child was
delighted that he was considered
really quite grown up and that he was
actually six months old.
"Don't feel badly, mother he said
for now I can look after you. I will
care for you when you get old for ]
am young and strong
"And the mother zebu looked at
him out of her great big wet eyes and
said,
"'Ah, what a child he still is
But the zebu child didn't think so
at all, and only thought that that was
his mothers way of making him be-
lieve that he was still young.
"Tm six months DID, he kept re-
peating proudly to himself. six
months old, great and terrific age it
isT he added"

STRAIGHT-LINE LONG SKIRTS

Straight fronts.

creed for women by the recent Ma
tional Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufac-
turers' association at Cleveland, o..
Skirts will be long-instep length

Bright colors, with snappy reds and

High rolling collars.
Buttons and more buttons, not mere

most suits will fasten clear to the
chin.
Pockets, tucks, stitchery, and cord

Coats longer and more voluminous
with enormous armholes. Big collars

To Restore Reims Cathedral.

A proposal has been made that
france issue for sale special stamp
to pay the cost of repairing the Reims
cathedral, which was so badly ruin
ed by German shell fire during the
war. Undoubtedly the idea will have
a general appeal, for many persons
throughout. the world are deeply in
terested in the preservation Of the
grand old French edifice. Not unlike
ly large sum could be raised in that
somewhat novel way, sum which no
Frenchman need have the slightest
hesitation in accepting through
sense of false pride. Restoration OF
the ancient and beautiful structure, If
such be possible, is truly pious task
and what could be more fitting than
yhat religious hearts in every quarter
of the world should prompt gener-
Gus response in gifts through the pur-
chase of stamps as indicated?

Practical and Smart.

If one must wear furs in midsum-
mer-and it has been proved how
practical they are aside from their un.
disputed smartness-it is by far the
best plan to have a distinctly differ
ent set of summer peltry and send all
the winter furs to cold storage for the
hot spell. Furs are like plants; they
have to rest once in a while between
seasons of blooming out in beauty,
and the fur neckpiece or coat that was
worn month in and month out with no
period of recuperation would soon be-
come shabby and lifeless looking.

Crepe de Chine Revival.

Crepe de, chine is being used more
for the development of really dressy
frOcks this summer than for several
seasons. This soft but very service
able fabric has played second fiddle
to taffeta and gOrgatte and few nov
city weaves for several years, but the
woman who has ever had either a
crepe de chine or a foulard frock
knows that such a dress will stand an
amazing amount of hard wear with

The woman who is trim from top to
toe never forgets that veil is the last
touch in daintiness for any outdoor
costume. This year she is wearing
one of the big-meshed wells that seem

meshes are so big fashion has whim-
sically introduced tiny meshed pat

There is more than one way of get
ting excited. With some girls excite
ment means scatter-brained action, and

excitement is the spur that keeps them
doing their best. If you are going to
get excited, be sure it is the sort of
excitement that helps, not that which
hinders.-Girl's Companion.
