! find among young American girls
of our own day. Just why squarer
shoulders are more prevalent it is
hard to say. 1t may be. of course,
that there were really as many
square shouldered women. but that
because the artists and admirers of
beautiful women thought sloping
shoulders always preferable they
have been made to appear more
sloping than they really are.
Now the moderately sloping
shoulder always appears more fem
mime than the square shoulder. be-
cause men naturally are broader
of frame across the shoulders and
women normally possess that
rounded contour that makes the
shoulders appear more sloping.
However the Grecian ideal did
not show markedly slOping shoul-
ders. Both the Venus de Milo and
the Venus GenetriX, as you may
see for yourself, had well rounded
shoulders, but they had nothing
like the slope that you see in the
paintings of the Italian masters

What S in a Name?
BY Mildred Marshall.
ADA.


Ada is the fortunate possessor OF
two sources of derivation; likewise
she may choose her own signifi-
canoe. since there Is considerable
conflict in translating the name
Some etymologists take Ada to be
an adaptation of the early Biblical
name, Adah. meaning ornament
which occurs frequently in Hebrew
nomenclature. Others believe that
1t really comes from the Teutonic
Oda. which signified rich, or the old
Saxon Ide. meaning happy. In all
events, Ada may be said to find
happiness in riches which are en-.
plotted by ornaments.
The first feminine form corre-
spending to Ada wah Audur, the
name bestowed upon a beautiful
viking, one of the first Icelandic set
tiers. Auda or Aida named the
wife OF Orlando, the Paladin. A
queen Of Italy in 926 was so called
and the name was still in use in
1898 by the feminine members of
the House of Este.
The Low German form. Fad, came
to be translated as Ide and appearA
as such in the Cambrai register.
As Ida. 1t was bestowed upon the
Countess of Bouiogne. granddapgh-
ter of King Stephen. Ada seems
to be purely Of English usage, un-
til its adoption in this country.
The ruby is Ada's talismanic gem.
1t Is said to fulfil for her its prom
ise of courage and invulnerabiIity,
and to shield her from adverse for
tune. Wednesday is her lucky day
and . her lucky number.

Excellent Advice

Ten Commandments for MOthers-in-
Law.
First-Thou shalt not dwell in the
same house with thy daughter-in
law, for many miracles be possible
but not that a mans mother ant
his wife should live together ir
peace.
Second-Thou shalt vamp thy in.
laws so that thou shalt find favor
in their sight and peradventure
they shall come to even love thee.
d. Third-Thou shalt rurgee thy
soul of jealousy far bitterer than
gall. yea, bitterer than gall ant
aloes is the cup that the green-eyed
monster prepareth for her lip.
Fourth-Thou shs< not tell thy
sons wife nor thy dauGhter's hus-
band Of their faults. for rather would
they take a serpent to their bosoms
than a mother-in-law who turneth
a searchlight upon their shortcom-
ings.
Fifth-Thou shalt hold thy tongue
from uttering advice to thy in-laws,
though it choke thee to do so. am
preserve thy fingers from meddling
in their pies.
y Sfxth-Thou shalt not spy upon
thy daughter ice chest, nor

4 Seventh - Thou shalt remember
that the jolly is mightiert than the
hammer when dealing with thy in
laws.
Eighth-Thou shalt brace up thy
son ana daughter to do their duty
In the holy estate, instead of re-
garding them as martyrs because
they have discovered that, verify,
marriage is no picnic.
Ninth-Thou shalt smite upon the
cymbals and sing songs of low be-
cause thy children love their bus-
hands and wives better than thew
do thee, for this proveth that they
nave found peace and happiness in
matrimony, and that the divorce
court is afar off.
Tenth-Thou shalt treat thv
oeughter-in-law. and thy son-in-
hw as thou wouldst have some
other woman treat thy son and
daughter when they become her in
laws
Are these hard sayings, o woman
who is qualifying for the most dir

they are only good sense, and good

Is about to come into. your family
and on whom so much of your fu-

For in the conflict between moth
ers and in-laws. it is the mother
who, in the end, loses out. She
loses II her child sides against her
and is alienated from her And she
ooubly loses out If she makes dis

breaks up a home. and so wrecks
her sons or daughters life.
1t is. therefore, of the utmost i'm
portance to every mother with
married children to preserve what
diplomats call the entente cordiale"I
with her in-laws. and the only way
this can possibly be done is by
avoiding the disastrous experiment.

BY CORA MOORE.
New York's Fashion Authority.

| "nen the poet wrote what Is
so rare as a day in June?" he must
have been thinking of wedding
day. June, brides and roses - they
all go together.
And with a wedding goes the wed
ding gown with all its dainty ac-
| cessories. and gowns for the brides
mother and the maid of honor.
Brides Veil and Bouquet.
Fortunate is the bride who has
a lace veil among the family treas
ures, for lace figures again in wed =
dings with all it's old time signifi-
cance.
The lace is always arranged so
that it falls well around the bride,
rather than in folds which would
not show the beauty of the lace to
its full advantage.
IL, however, the bride chooses to
wear a gown of lace or one that is
heavily trimmed with lace, a tulle
veil is elected as a better foil to the
lace.
The fan-shaped arrangement with
the coronet of orange blossoms, as
in The Whirlwind" costume, is ef-
fective. but the turban style with
the orange blossoms has been much
In evidence at fashionable weddings.
AS for the bridal bouquet, one
bride recently carried an elongated
bunch of Gala lilies and Empress
ferns with many yards OF broad
white satin ribbon loops.
Gray For Brides Mother.
Soft gray satin. gray chiffon and
lace dyed to match precisely make
up a gown Which Ida Darling wears
in the Seixnick picture, Whispers"
and no better suggestion for a
mothers gown at a wedding could
be offered.
Elbowlength sleeves are of lace
and then a cross-over jacket effect
of the satin edged with cord enclos-
es a little vest in front and a V
shaped section in back. while over
a skirt of the gray chiffon falls
redingote of the lace.
A huge gray feather fan COM
pletes the costume which is really
most dignified and charming.
Maid Of Honor.
Could a dressmaker's cleverness
evolve a more intriguing frock for
maid of honor to wear at her
dearest friends wedding? 1t is worn
In irene, tnat play OF DeautlIul
clothes, and 1t Is of rose-colored taf-
feta.
AS a matter of actual fact, 1t is
a coat dress opening at the side
front over lacy frock underneath.
and for church wedding what
could be more interesting than to
have the bridesmaids garbed in
such fascinating taffeta coats as
this at the wedding, removing them
to disclose the lace frock at the
reception. AS dress, however, it
is quite as charming.
The embroidery is done in silver
and rose and the cuff and collar
facings are of creamy satin. 1t is
really a perfect love of a frock.
1t has a long. gracefully shaped
vest inset it's whole length. the vest
caught with a smashing bow at the
top.
Then there is the cap, such an
exquisite thing of Duchesse lace and
ribbon. 1t fits the head quite snug
ly without any frills and by way
of trimming has two bands Of pink
satin ribbon passed around it un-
derneath as border. terminating
in two long ends that drop over one
shoulder.
