KERcHIEF ADDS TO COSTUME
Accessory Formerly Kept Tn Hiding Now Must Be ins Evidence to
 Display Good Taste.

Once, pocket handkerchief was sup posed to be an inconspicuous article. Its very name implied that. When pockets disappeared 1t was hidden un- der the edge of the basque that was in the eighties. When basques went out, handkerchiefs were tucked into sleeves. Later they hid themselves in handbags. Now, however, they are sup posed to show and indeed no one can miss them, for their lively color makes spot of brightness in the costume. Four gay modern 'kerchiefs were noted recently. One has a jacquard pattern in blue and black on gray-blue ground. One has Persian design printed on a reddish tan background. And two have conventional flower printings on ground of pastel color These lively handkerchiefs are to be used with the tailored utility suit or the sport suit. When one is formally dressed for afternoon or evening, the correct mouchoir is spotlessly white, of exquisitely fine linen and may be embroidered delicately in one corner with very small initial.

GETTING READY FOR SUMMER
Heavy Linen, Bingham, Pongee and Taffeta Are Favorite Fabrics for
 Little Girls.

E. 2 Among the warm weather fabrics that will be favored. for. the children's wardrobe may be mentioned heavy linen, gingham, especially striped and Scotch plaid weaves, natural colored pongee and taffeta. Taffeta, of course. is designed for frocks of the ''dressy" type, but the other materials are all washable and, therefore, in the utility or service class. For very early spring serge will play it's part. Some smart little models are shown equipped with detachable guimpes of white pique.
 Colored organdie Is a perfectly good selection for a party frock for a, little girl, regardless of season. Hand en- broidery is a dainty trimming touch. Another smart touch applied to cotton fabric frocks for children is scalloped ruff1es piped in self-fabric in contrast ing color.
 Sashes are approved by Dame Fash ion for members of the younger set next season and this, of course. means that wide. gay ribbons will have big sale.
 Hair and sash ribbons to match make an ideal birthday gift.

 the mink, the otter and the beaver are American fur-bearing animals which have reached a value beyond the furthest imagination of the early trappers who accumulated large for tunes and grew to be American house hold names.
 Wear American Peltry.
 Through the usage of these furs we do not depend wholly on Europe for our peltries now. We persuade the world to wear what our vast forests produce. Mink and beaver have reached an incredible price, as an ex- ample of the value put upon American fur. Hudson seal, the genuine. not the imitation, also sells at high price and is bought by the average woman who may be working for her living.
 A comforting statement made by the furriers is that the American ,woin- an demands a high grade of fur to- day: that cheap coats and neckpieces

FUR PIECES FOR
 THE MILD DAYS
Manufacturers Are Endeavoring to Keep PeItry on Market
 This Spring.
WRAPS OF VARIED DESIGNS
Object Is to Retain Interest of Women and to Provide Accessory That Guarantees New Appearance
 to old Gown.

The furriers are having a mad gay time of it. They have been so rushed with orders since the first of autumn that they claim inability to turn cut the last of the winter coats until al, Ton correspondent. All that was kept over from last year was sold before Thanksgiving, they say.
 New York has been the storm center of this peltry buying. The wealth Of the country Is usually expended in lux uries in it's huge centers. as France found out during the war, and Amer lica found out the day after the arTnis Stice. The fact that state of peace did not really exist between the bellig erents had no effect on the lavish man ner in which money was poured out by those who had 1t.
 Peitry is pearl of price these days no matter how it Is handled or where 1t Is bought. and by this token one realizes that there is vast wealth in the country, despite the taxes and the Fl. 0. of l.. Not all of the splendid peltry coats are old possessions. Many of them bear the mark of 1920 and the label of new furrier, so their cost Hs self-evident, and cost is the dOmi- hating topic of conversation on the American continent This would shock grandmother, for to tell what things cost was once considered sign of III breeding: to talk of one's expenses or the imitation or reduction of one's in come was looked at as the kind of bad taste not permitted by those who were gelective in their choice of social com panions; but all these distinctions have been swept aside with other notions.
 To Get Fashicnn Ideas.
 The way to get an idea of what is fashionable and what is not is to ob- serve the crowds, especially during winter and summer months. During that time hordes of Americans pass through New York without ceasing. Therefore when during the. shopping month of September one saw masses of chinchilla wraps, of ermine with out stint, there was actual evidence of the way in which the American women had spent money on peltry.
 As further evidence here are sta tistics which are given by Women's Wear, the trade paper:
 It speaks of sable wrap that has just been sold for $90, 900 and of many that have been sold to women this winter for $50,000. That's a neat little total Just there.

KEEP ,sPAT BUTTONS TIGHT
saggIng or Loose Fasteners Spoil smartness of Modish Boot With
 Top Matching Costume.

Is there anything more distressing than sagging spat buttons? Buttoned shoes and buttoned spats are the fash ion this year and both make the ankle and instep look very trim and dainty when the buttons are sewed on firmly, as they should be. One loose, sagging button can completely spoil the smart ness of modish buttoned costume, or of dainty cloth spat, and there seems no excuse for the mark of untidiness. Do not wait until the button comes off, but tighten it up the moment it begins to sag loose. Not only does the modern buttoned boot or spat set off the street costume and complete its correctness, but it also gives the an- kle firm and graceful look that is very attractive.

 do not sell as well as they did five years ago. Perhaps everything is priced so high that woman prefers to spend few more dollars and get something genuine that will last, es- pecially as her own income, if she is a wage-earner, is higher than it has ever been In the history of industrial life.
 There is segment of women who regard the first of the year as the time to buy reduced fur coats. Are they wise? Not even prophet can answer that question, nor can a sOothsayer foretell disaster or benefit from such custom.
 Small Furs Are Varied.
 Small, fanciful furs, however, are as varied as the days of winter. It is in this field that the designers are work ing like beavers. They are twisting and turning various pe1tries that grow on beasts. wild or tame, in order to build up alluring little garments that will keep women interested in furs and provide them with an accessory that guarantees a new appearance to an old gown.
 There is quite flash of imagination shown by individuals in arranging these small fur pieces. The majority of them are suggested by the women who buy them, who have arrived at the conclusion that lengthy visit to the furrier often results in a new and amazing trif1e that lends distinction
 The reason these small pieces of fur have their innings is the fashion for retaining bits of peltry over decollete gowns in the house. Now that some of us are thoroughly launched in the shortest of French skirts and sleeves, with decolletage that extends to the depth prescribed for evening, we find ourselves willing to wear warm ac- cessories that give becoming tones to the flesh.
 There is a scarf of white coney, which is buttoned with jet and edged with black. It is an al1uring garment and signifies commendable attempt to cover too much skin exposed by a black velvet gown which is more skirt than frock.
 BreastpIate Worn by Warriors.
 Then there is that breastplate, such as ancient warriors wore when they went forth on their crusades. It is made of striped fur with a high col lar that gives point to chin that may be square. It is merely two pieces of peltry attached to the shoul- ders and heavily girdled with gold and lined with dull gold satin. There is waistcoat of genuine Hudson seal cut after the pattern used for mans waistcoat. It has no sleeves, but a rolling collar of white coney, white fur buttons, also tiny lapels to the slashed pockets below the waist.
 A small Spanish jacket of black broadtail has fascination all it's own. It is not possible to follow the fash ions of Madrid or to suggest the DOT traits of Goya without tickling the imagination. This little jacket is lined with Aphrodite blue, which shows strongly under the wide bell sleeves, and there is a blue collar embroidered with silver. and small silver buttons that splash down each edge.

 And be well assured that the com mon garden animal does not sell cheap in this furry of furs. Nothing that has hair and hide goes for a small price. The legend is that string of beads could buy furs from an Indian. but today that string of beads would have to be one of matched pearls.

Salaries Amendment.
The third amendment to the Consti-
tuition proposes the following increases
in salaries for State Officers: Govern
or from $1,000 to $4,000; Judges of
the Supreme Court from $1,000 to ST.
500 and Judges of the District Court
from $4,000 to $500.
Arguments for: 1. That the present
salaries Of these officers were fixed 40
years ago when living was one-half
what 1t is now. 2. That payment
should be commensurate with the dig
nifty and responsibility Of the office.
3. That Judges Of the courts should be
given salaries, equivalent at least to
the average income Of members Of the
bar, who are qualified to hold such po-
sitions.
Arguments against: 1. That the
honor Of the office makes the matter
of salary secondary consideration.
2. That these officials are already re-
ceiving enough pay.
The above is very brief outline Of
the ten proposed laws and amend
ments. Owing to the Limitation of
space the subject has been greatly con-
densed, but the writer would be glad
to give any further data which he may
have to any person who is interested
in securing further information upon
any of the above propositions.
