Editorials For
Women Folks

OF course, with a girl, there is
always some particular one-a man
who towers head and shoulders
above the others in her opinion.
And Marjorie wasn't any excep-
ton in that way.
But in the ftful margin of Mar
jorie's regard were such a world of
others! In the really quite sincere
heart which beat under the bodices
of Marjorie's pretty frocks was some
thing of Diana. She loved con-
quest purely for itself.
There was a particular Joy for
her in entangling in the meshes of
her fascination some momentarily
fancied masculine person.
Impartial
1t made no difference to Marjorie
whether the victim was old or
young. He might have been just
trying the strength of his second
teeth or battling parental objection
to his first pair of long trousers; he
might have been sporting his Sec
ond set of false teeth and flirting
with the grave while he kept a
weather eye out for feminine charms
it vas all the same to Marjorie.
She loved the game. There was
a thrill for her in clipping their
wings and then invariably, after a
short period, she found them some
thing of a bore and set them free,
a stunned and surprised lot.
Risk
But through it all there was al
ways the one particular one, the one
whom she cared for, until
One day Marjorie appeared with
out her solitaire!
"Why, what's the matter ?"
gasped Marjorie's friends .
And said Marjorie with conviction
HE was too much of a ladies'
mani don't want to marry a
%flirt!"
Nobody, not even a f1irt, wants to
marry a flirt.

Reuiues The Polka-Dot
BY MARIAN HALE

NEW YORK-'What is a polka
dot and why is a polka-dot?" que
ries Lord Northcliffe, the British
publisher.
And the fashion opportunities are
right on the dot to tell him!
If you walk up the New York
streets past the gown shops you
think at first your eyes are affected,
with these black spots dancing be-
fore them.
It's whispered that haberdashers
are going to get out a new polka
dot tie called THE Northcliffe."
Why Well just because someone
admired Lord Northcliffe's polka-dot
tie and told him so.
N%orthclime said he had never
heard IF polka DOTS and would
like to have the term explained.
That was enough for the fashion
people!
Style opportunists fourished years
ago just as they do today. For years
ago when the Bohemian peasant
dance called the Polka was the rage
in the old world as well as The new,
President Polk was president of the
United States. An enterprising
N anufacturer got out a new style of
silk, a fabric with contrasting dots
upon it.
Immediately the new fabric. worn
by the fashionables who were dan
cling the polka became known as the
polka-dot.
Polka-dotted materials have been
much in vogue this summer but they
are better than ever now thanks TO
Northcliffe's interest in them! In
wolfe, g~eorgette, swiss and silks the
polka dot is very smart for after
noon as well as street dresses. Dark
blue, black and brown with white
dots are the most popular combina-
lions though light backgrounds with
! dark dots are also good.
