SETTLED HIS RIVALS HASH
Mans Remark Could Only Be CLASH
fled as a Remarkable Inspira-
ton of Genius.

Every man thinks all sorts OF
things about his rival, but not every
man is genius enough to say exactly
the right thing to lower his girls

Gently a remark was overheard I'm a
downtown restaurant which proved
hat n man possessed that ability.
He and his best girl were eating when
the other man entered the restaurant.
Immediately he came to them. shook
hands with the girl and, after being
introduced to the first man, talked a
few minutes.
Now. the girl had quoted this second
man so much that his name to the
first man vas like the sight Of q red
flag. And she firmly expected a
stormy session when the intruder left.
But instead of that the escort calmly
went on with his eating, Offering only
n comment: There's one man I'll
never be jealous of again.

gette crepe also. but the plain girdle
is made of the satin.
The vogue for simplicity is particu-
larry favorable to afternoon frocks OF
velvet or v~elveteen. These are usually
one-piece frocks without tunics, but
the skirts are draped. There is a lik-
ing for three-quarter length sleeves in
velvet frockS and for brilliant vestees
and handsome lace collars and cuffs.
Nothing makes quite so good a back
ground for good laces as these frocks
of velvet.

a long story since there are sports togs
Of many kinds. The most fascinating
and interesting of these are the clothes
that have borrowed the character of
those garments mad for real sports
wear but % intended for service, Just
'for looks" The sweater coats and
varied scarfS made OF silk or wool in
many fanciful and fragile ways, the
delicate colored headwear and the very
handsome skirts of sports silks are all
examples of sports clothes made to be
admired for their beauty, not for the
usefulness TO the sportswolnan. They
serve a very useful purpose, however.
No matter how elegant and rich their
materials these clothes are informal
and very smart in character. They are
a part of the play-the sports clothes
of onlookers-in which they are well
enough dressed and not too much
dressed for whatever the day may
bring.
After the brilliant skirts of heavy,
rough silk weaves he most interesting
members of the sports family are the
scarfs and sweaters that are refined

forerunners, the warm wooden scarf
