CHAPTER CLXNv. The Harrison-West after-theatre supper was just what might have been expected-hilarious. If Jim's presence made Dick west triffle more deferential and respectful in his treatment of Phoebe, it didn't abate on jeot of her coquetry. Jim was evidently too tired to do much more than play spectator to Phoebe's little tricks and ailurements and Doris Vests somewhat cheaper efforts to he very femenine and what she thought was very charming.
 Of course I reacted by being very stiff and dignified. and on the way home in our new taken-as-a-matter- of-course taxi, Jim commented on that.

 l do not know which are uSliest, shoulders so fat that rolls of flesh that the skin fairly cHngs to the bones. Whatever may be the trouble, exercise will help to remedy 1t. since exercise is a general corrective. II you are too fat, you can always re- iuce; and if you are too thin. you can do everything possible to build yourself up. I need not repeat the oft given advise about swimming as

STATELY SHOULDERS

A woman's shoulders can be so beautiful with a little effort on her part that it seems a shame that any woman should go through life with put having beautiful at least shape Iy shoulders.
 The shoulders are particularly inn aortant this year because our evening owns are so very, very filmy on top hat it is impossible to disguise any 3efects. As a matter of fact in order

brocaded fabric that ever was loom ed.
 Speaking of youth, satin is most often requistioned in the negligees ot the younger set" and is generally developed with barrel curves or along perfectly straight lines and Geor- gette and chiffon are, many times, added as drapery.
 For the first time in the known history of the negligee trimmings have left millinery realm to do duty in the boudoir, feather bandings some times cuff the trousers of the bifur- cated suit, tiny violets edge the neck line of the robe with the low waist line, a feather fancy is thrust through the girdIe of an Oriental robe, gold lace fashions a half panel, and so forth and so on. Then, too, patch-Iike appliques and petal shaped bits of silk and brocade do singularly attractive things Ribbon is stll an other medium through which clever fingers effect results.

a means of developing chest. shoul- derS and arms.
 If you live anywhere near water and can get out in a rowboat, you will do a great deal in the way of developing your shoulders and chest by rowing for even ten minutes every day If you cannot, you can do a rowing exercise at home by holding arms straight out in front of you and clenching the hands and tensing the muscles as much as possible; then pull the hands backwards toward the chest as though you were pulling g against a great weight This is par

Painting the lily! At first thought it does seem. if not actually simple at least an unnecessary thing to do, but occasionally one does come across something that, seemingly perfection in itself, does yet admit of having it's charms enhanced rather than lessened by bit Of elaboration.
 Consider velvet for instance. There is no more beautiful@fabric under the sun. Yet when it is batiked its ex- cellence is glorified beyond belief, the exquisite combination of its colorS beggar all description-to be appre- ciated they must need be seen. Even the ordinarily most brilliant of shades are toned down to softness that is all harmony and delicacy. Rose and blue and yellow, for instance. As a combination one visions the trinity as decidedly bizarre. Yet while none of their brightness is lost all harsh ness disappears in the blending.

COL. ARMSTUONG'S
Comment ON Cen.
SuS REPORT OF
KENTUCKY HORSES
The War Department Is Inter.
ested In the Increase Of
Pure.Bred Horses

"There Is the utmost need in this
country today of increasing the num-
Der of pure-bred horses, particularly
those Of the thoroughbred type, on
which the War Department must de-
pend for its cavalry mounts in case Of
national emergency"
The above is a passage from the
statement by Col. Frank s. Armstrong,
Chief OF the U. S. Army RemOunt Serv-
ice, relative to the 1920 census Of Ken
lucky horses.
The uneasiness Of practical, patri-
otto men like Colonel Armstrong over
the situation was amply justified by
the lesson of the last great war, which
so strikingiy demonstrated the value
of the horse in connection with mod
ern warfare and revealed what would
have become a pitiful shortage, had
the Germans held out only very few
weeks longer than they did.
Nor must we forget the Importance
Of breeding better horses more exten.
sively in times of peace. Better bred
horses mean better work horses bet
ter prices for them, and a reader mar
ket.
The 1920 census figures indicate tha;
Kentucky, as usual, will lead her SIS.
ter states as to both number and class
of horses, but even we are far from
approaching what should be our quota
In either count.
Colonel Armstrong; statement liz
full is as follows:
Despite the very small amount IF
pure-bred stock, as compared with the
total number of horses in the state, ]
believe that, when similar figures for
the other states become available, q
comparison of all will show that Ken.
lucky still holds its rank as the fore
most state in producing thOrOughbreds
"The relatively small percentage OF
thOrOughbreds and of other classes OF
pure-bred stock included in the tota,
number of horses in Kentucky, is 4
general, and not a local, situation, AMI
the, other states probably will show
even smaller percentages. The same
conditions, | am told, prevail with live.
stock other than horses, though prop
ably not to the same extent as Will
the latter. The census report uphOlds
and justifes the position taken By the
American Remount Association tina
there is the utmost need in this coun.
try today of increasing the number OF
pure-bred horses, particularly those 0;
the thoroughbred type, on which the
War Department must depend for it,
cavalry mounts IN case of natiOna'
emergency, and which it met witt
great difficulty in procuring in sulli
cient numbers during the recent war
The national need of upbulding anC
increasing American thoroughbreC
horses can not, in my opinion, be over
emphasized"
