Not An Unknown Specimen.

SxHE other day two pretty girls
pushed their way up TO n
crowded lunch counter in the
back of popular confectioner' es-
tahiissment where shoppers and
business women resort for hasty
luncheon They slid into two chairs
lust vacated. though others had come
before them. Then they presented
two checks for "sundaes" TO the
Waite coated young man behind the
counter II was a rule of the estab-
lishment that only hot lunches
should be served az this counter

small counter in the front OF the
store. The young man told the
pretty girls he could not serve them

tiest of the two girls. and she really
was amazingly pretty. But you're

The young man. confused. assured
them politely that he wasn't.
Then they proceeded 20 exert the
kind Of persuasiveness popularity
known as Jolly One Of the girls
told him that she had never seen the
man she couldn't manage and the
other cooed 20 him that she could
Just tell he was dear kind soul.
and they heamed on. seemingly OBJ
ivioua of the current of irritation OF
the other customers Eventually the
Young man. very much ratified,
got the sundaes in question and went
about hts other orders.
Then the girls went. no doubt feel
ing that their prettiness had again

But the young man looked after
them with relief and shame because
he had so obviously fallen for" their

marked 20 whoever wanted to heed
him.
There are really a great many
pretty and beautiful women who
never are guilty Of gaining special
favors because Of the charm with
which nature has endowed them. But
the temptation TO do so is usually
before them. or course. they are
not quite so crude in the methods
they employ. But in business life
especially there are always. some
women who feel that they are en-

they are fascinating.
The pretty stenographer some
times feels that a smile will make
up 20 her employer IL she is late in
the morning. For this reason there
have been known men who specify
against having the very pretty girl
IN their Offices. not because they fear
her fascination for themselves or any
one else. but because of her own nat
ural tendency 20 seek an easier path
through life because OF her good
looks
Actually the very well-bred woman
geeks no special exemptions on az
count OF her good looks. If she is
a thoroughbred in every sense of the
word she wants - play the game ac-
cordlng 20 the rules and she would
shrink from letting her charm brins

once just as she would refuse 10
play tennis with the man who served
her easy balls as a tribute TO her
pfef.iress. or the bridge partner who
stacked the cards in her favor as

-o WHAT extent will fruit re
place flowers as a decorative
motivee
Nobody knows.
But q is a fact. for the present al
least. that fruit is much used where
. few years ago flowers would have
been naturally chosen.
Take. for instance, a new and
charming tea room. Its walls are
nancled with medallions of fruit done
IN brilliant eolors.
Take many OF the new frocks.
They show tiny bunches of fruit On
the shoulders They show girdles
formed of artificial fruits held about
the waist. They show garlands and
festoons Of fruit on the skirt They
show designs OF fruit embroidered or
even. in Paris. painted on the frocks
We don't care very much for painted
frocks. even when they are signed
by the name OF the artist. as some
frocks have been lately. But Paris
has frocks painted by hand with lus-
cious and beautiful fruits.
Not long ago ia the window OF a
famous silversmith there was an in

There are some people who do not
like to eat blackberries raw on ac-
count of their somewhat insipid
flavor. To these people the addition
of little lemon juice and a little
grated lemon rind usually appeals.
Another way to give piauancy to the
favor of blackberries is to add a
little chopped tart apples, in the pro-
portions of one part OF chopped
apples to two parts of blaekberries

r Other girdles that one can buy
ready made are of ostrich attached
TO net foundation. Still others are
OF beads, colored or white. strung
into heavy ropes and finished with
heavy tassels.
Double hemstitching is used like
stripes on a smart new frock of Law
endar linen, running round and
round and round. The hemstitching
Is worked in heavy white cotton
floss, so that there is a little line Of
white on each side Of the openworlS
formed by the drawn threads. The
frock is worn over white slip petit
coat and camisole.
Cushion and hat sets are one of the
newest things. They match, these
two accessories of outdoor comfort.
One dons, for instance. a hat of
woven violet and gray ribbons, and
picks up a little cushion Of woven
violet and gray ribbons, and goes
forth for a comfortable paddle in a
canoe. Or one dons a hat of ecru
straw embroidered with flowers in
colored silk and goes forth TO a shady
and comfortable hour on the beach.
These sets are really a novelty and
really very attractive.
Shoulder shawls. too, are new. We
have been noticing the presence Of
big Spanish shawls for evening wraps
for some time. But the little silk
embroidered shoulder shawl, from
he same country. is new. 1t is quite
as effective on the right woman as is

and let it cool. Cover it with bran

Blackberry syrup is made with a
pint Of juice, a pound of sugar, half
an ounce Of powdered cinnamon and
a quarter Of an ounce Of mace and
two teaspoons of cloves. Boil this
fifteen minutes, and strain it. To
each pint add a glassful of French
brandy and bottle.
Blackberries must not all be pre-
served for winter use. but some must
be used in season. The juice.
strained and well sweetened and flaw
ored with a little sherry or brandy,

One rule for blackberry pie calls
for a lower crust. Put 1T in a deep
earthen or granite ware pie plate.
Reinforce the lower crust with a strip
Of crust an inch wide. moistened and
spread around the edge of the plate.
Spread half a cup CT granulated

The artificial fruits in the shops
sell for quite astoandingly large
prices. A bunch of grapes cost sew
eral dollars. To be sure, they look
like real grapes, with the lovely
bloom of freshness still upon them,

just as it would be in a real bunch.
And so the pears and peaches.

Rhinestone buttons are used on
some of the smartest of the black

buttons are small, but glitter bril-

Little fans of ostrich flues are used

sometimes il contrasts with Il. Flame

There is an imported dotted swiss
made with big disks for dots on an

Black and white sport shoes are
in good style this summer. The
black is usually used at the heel and
toes, and ia really helpful in keeping
the slsoes in good condition. For the
black comes at the places which get
the most wear.
Girdles OF braid Of different coIors.
sewed together to form stripes. are
particularly smart. Each strip OF
braid ends in tassels of the same
color. so that there is a fringe OF

summer. One lovely overblouse of
