Through q
Woman S Eyes
Faces of U'Omen
BY JEAN NEWTON

She wa. a pretty woman. still quite
$oung-except around her eyes Her
eves were old.
Y True, they shone brilliantly. but
they reminded one of the forced and
artificial radiance of the mrtrcsS who
must sing and dance and sparkle
though her head throb or her heart be
breaking.
She was really young. but her face
showed the preserved youth OF careful
grooming rather than the spontantous
youth of other women OF her years
She looked suppressed-that was il.
suppressed.
4 And II seemed strange. For she had
no known cares. they we're people Of
means. and her husband was charm.
ing, at least all the other women
thought so. And there lay the kew to
the mystery.
He wanted to be Charming--to other
women. And with his attentions 10
them he tOrmented her. One does nor
care much whether or not there was
s'anything in these attentions. The
point Is that he tOrmented her II"
made his lordly favor uncertain lie
3lned her up in a race with Others
And she. poor fool. took her place in
9his race in which she could never
Patch up. Hence the artificial sparkle
Ind the heart hungry. suppressed look
nbout her eyes. Hence she laughed
bnly with her mouth her eyes remained
) bllent.
Women who are happy. who have
fhe love and protection Of their hus
bands, do not look that way. The,
may be tired from overwork. they ma,
have wrinkles from other cares, the,
may have crows feet from lack o
sleep. They may have older skin be
PAUSE they cannot afford to care for it
But their hearts are young. The,
\ may not sparkle, but there is abou
Hhem no cOnstraint. They are sur
fof themselves. They don't max

SUMNER STYLES PLEASING
TO THE LADY OF FASHION,
She Alcays 4ractire heer Sports Clothes Atret
for Luncheon. Garden Party. Dinner or Dance

looking the courts. but in the back of
her fair head runs the idea that there
is garden party. and so she climbs
into the roadster and starts home.
The cynical man of the world will be
at her home soon and a wisp of woman
hood shook into tho house. And who
would suspect that the cool. dainty ap-
partition who is II conspicuous figure of
fashion at the garden party is the same
tlurried miss Of such a short time ago.
Lace is being used so much this year
that she has chosen Il white lace frock.
which is n creation almost too lovely
for words. Long panels of the lace
hang below the hem line on either side.
and as she walks about the wind catches
them and they trail after her in grace
full ripplcs.
Short sleeves. just abbreviated enough
to show dimpled elbow. are gathered
in at the end and caught with n tiny
rosebud. \ large soft silken rose is the
only decoration at the waist. the only
touch Of color to relieve the white of
the dress. The Lady of Fashion notes
with satisfaction that against the green
Of the lawn. white is the prevailing
color Of party frocks.
The man who smokes foreign ciga-
rctteS, arriving for dinner is greeted by
slender maiden in a gown Of scaPlct
crepe romnine. Heavier than geOrgettc.
Yet possessing the same softness. 1t Is
made with a round neck and no sleeves.
One side Of the skirt is draped. while
the other balances huge bow of shiny
black ribbon. the ends of which reach
just a bit below the bottom of the
skirt. And the skirt Is almost, If not
quite to the ankles. The Lady of Fash :
ion is happy indeed that sports clothes
retain the short skirts. but the dinner
and evening gowns are 50 much more
graceful with longer skirts.
Perfectly fitted black satin slippers
with jet buckles are slipped off, and
with a sigh, the lovely scarlet drcs, is
black hair.
On With the Dance
But with happy cry of delight. the
Lady of Fashion is fastened into tn,
rosebud dress. tabs Of taffcta. perhaps
two or three inches long and an inch
wide 60 to make up the most faSrinat
ing skirts. The bottom tabs are Of 4
deep red. which shades into fain
pink about the waist line making full,
four distinct shades which blend on,
into the other.
\ straight, sleeveless bodice. with 1
silver ribbon girdle. has II silk ros,
caught across the front. Indeed. on,
could almost imagine that the driftin,
petals of such rose had been caugh
to make this lovely affair which make
the man who adores her fairly gasp a.
her silver slippered feet dance to NEE
him.
The softcst of black satin cnpps i
: thrown about her shoulders. a platinum
fox fur "laspcd about her white throat
: and with happy sigh the Lady %
Fashion is tucked into the purring ma
chine and whisked away to the dane

"SunfIower" Speaks for the Girls

Dear Notwithstanding to the dis
cussion of late. one would think that
the woman of today was going to rack
and ruin
Out of our bunch Of an original num-
Der of fourtaen--sevcn boys and seven
girls-there is only one girl who is a
"vamp" and parasite. She uses scarcely
any powder or rouge, no iiapper pumps.
70 bobbed hair or frightfully short skirt.
The rest Of the bunch are powder and
some are rouge users; one has bobbed
smoke. All of them save the one men
toned above are good girls. popular
ones. and possess a personality plus
above.average looks. Their education
varies considerably. but they are all
friends. There has not been one real
crush" or love affair TO spoil the girls
friendship with the boys
Why Is It one cannot do as one
pleases: without an eternal nagging
from the boys? Bobbed hair is com.
Portable and chic; happer models Of
footwear are recognized as healthy
smoking cigarettes in moderation Is
fun: dancing correctly Is exercise.
must say 7 detest rolled stockings, as
they look SO sloppy and immodest but
7 know adorable girls who roll their
own. so | guess that lies with the girl
herself
There are nice boys and nice girls. far
more of them than naughty ones. so
why worry SCNFLOWER.
II there were more groups like yours,
in which common sense friendships we're
encouraged. there would be much less
reason for people to criticize the flappcr
and her ways.

Can You Tell?
Why Telegraph Poles on Curves Are
Never Upright
By Il. J. aud A. ". Bodmc

70 many who have observed this
leaning habit on the part of telegraph
poles. when the line is built around a
curve. the reason for leaning as they
do may not be clear. Some Of them.
and perhaps the great majority. have
concluded undoubtedly that they just
acquired tho habit Of leaning toward
the track after having been erected
but this j. not the ease. This leaning
toward III" track is premcditated by the
builders. II the poles were planted
upright q, in the the case Of n straight
line, the wind would put such a strain
upon the wires that the poles would
be uproot"d, The poles are made to
lean in therefore, 50 as 10 relieve the
strain when tho wind blows.
Undoubtedly it took some time for
the builder, Of telegraph lines TO learn
this, just as il was only after much cx
pcrience thar they learned numerous
/ other tricks which are now part of the
telegraph business.
