SAW Adelaide Sims Newlin the
other day. looking well in a dark
Nine hat with brightly variegated colue
%athers on either side Of the brim. The
bot was small and quite dark, or
course, SO the short dropping feathers
close to her bright face made most
charming effect. She was wearing q
dark blue cloth frock, very simple ana
good looking, and tan top coat with
gloves and scarf to match: .,
Adelaide is really awfully clever: one
makes her own clothes, that Is
most of them, and they are SIMPLY
stunning. She does lot of charity
work, too. you know, and is very, very
nonular. l believe she's asked to every
party going.
DY THE way, don't tell me that the
D craze for black evening, gowns has Is
zone out and Is no longer de mode'
I am here to state that at the dinner
given on Tuesday evening at the Belle
yue. Stratford in honor of Marshal foch
not more than ten or twelve, gowns III
colors were worn. Every other frock'
and thpv were wonderful frocks. too'
was black either velvet or chiffon or
faille or tulle or net. And there were e
more than six hundred guests at that
banquet, you know.
Mrs. j. Kearsley Mitchell wore a
magnificent gown of black jet made with
q court train and cut N-shaped in front.
And Mrs, Jack Fell was most attractive
IN black crepe de chine. the bodice cut
In V and the skirt trimmed with black
fringe. Mrs. James Starr was In black
satin embroidered in steel beads. and
Mrs. John Il. Thayer chose blackNpeivet
relieved with a touch of gold. Black IS
usually most becoming in the evening
and I am sure the Marshal must nave
been charmed with the looks or the
women of Philadelphia, for they are
handsome, If l do say 1t myself.
JIMMIE had been tound piaslhs III
y the road with very dirty little boy
several times of late, and Mother. not
realizing how good it sometimes IS 10
play in the dirt, objected several times.
Finally she spoke to Daddy about 1t,
and he told Jimmie he must not play
with Joseph any more. Now. when one
Is nine wears old, ones memory some
times does fail>one. and so Jimmie just
naturally forgot. And when Father
came home next day he found Jimmie
and Joseph playing together once more;
Calling his son to his side he said
az have told you you must not play
with this bow any more, you will learn
nothing good from him" :,
oh" cried Jimmie, Dad, you don
know. Why, would never have
learned how to wigg.e my ears II II
hadn't been for Joseph he does 1t beau
titully."
