A simple conventional design done in

Two deep patch pockets also embroid-

side siosing should be neatly fastened by
snaphooks. With this skirt is worn a
tiny Eton jacket. cut from the remain

This little jacket shows the same wor-

linen blouses could be made to go under
the Eton, having circular Of square col

Sleeves of the under-dress come through

~ NERYONE who saw Eleanor

Poor Little Rich Girl" will re-
member what a delightful fellow THE
Kings English was and how dought-
lily resurgent in the faec of continual
tragic numbering. but now alas the poor
pathological champion seems likely to be
slain for good and all by the british
opponent Slang" who comes into the
arena armed cap-a-pie by the modern
American girl.
For the girl of today as she herself
would put il rs a lttIe Miss Wise Guy
and you've got to hand il her when il
comes to singing the language. For
that matter she comes from Missouri
anyway and take it from one who
knows anybody that tries TO put one
across ON her is pretty sure to find that
she can hand out a few herself and
keep them coming pretty fast Intelii-
gible? certainly, and there's not a girl
from the Atlantic to the Pacific that
plain English" and that is why slang
has become so big a problem in the
world of women.
The girl who is most fastidious about
her clothes: who takes the best of care
Of her skin. her hands and her hair;
who demands perfection of detail that
is delight to every eye entirely over
looks the shrillness of her voice and the
coarseness of her language, for the line
between ordinary slang and vulgarity is
so thin that very few girls ever dist1n-
guish ii.
From an occasional catch phrase that
is apropos and wins laugh they slip
readily into talking nothing but slang
and so quite >innocently use phrases with
double meanings and words whose vu-
garity would bring a blush to the
cheeks of any but the modern slangy
girl.
As a noted lecturer said the other
day, American girls are all that the
heart of a man could wish-unti they
speak, They are good looking, eleanly,
healthy, clever, full of magnetism and
enthusiasm-but oh their voices and
their conversation !" And he is right. 1t
Is the voice and the conversation that
makes the American girl a byword
abroad,
1t was Shakespeare, who said that a
low voice was an excellent thing in a
woman and it's just as true today, and
the best and quickest way to cure your
high and shrill tones is to train your
self to speak not for everyone in the
room, but only for the person you are
addressing.
There are, of course, lots of girls so
eager to attract attention and so proud
Of their witty" slang that they sereech
everything in order to make strangers
turn around and listen. but these are
not the sort of girls to set standards.
and so it is a wise plan to try always
to speak as softly, but as clearly as pos
sible.
The next thing is to watch for those
dangerously easy coloquialisms that are
the first step to slang and which seem
50 expressive, while last but by no
means least, comes the studied and
careful avoidance of slang itself. It's
hard, for slang phrase is quite as re-
surgent as the Kings English and elm
mated from the comic papers springs
out in the movies, and thence into the
popular songs and when almost forgot
ten turns up once more as the name of
a play or a new eostume-but it should
be stunned even under these conditions.
