Soft Colors Are Still POPULAR
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

when the early Italian influence

agined that soft colors were enocd.
Not so.
There are dressmakers who remain
loyal to their liking for eighteenth
century tints, which were repeated
In the second empire. and these are
offered to that large majority, OF
women who know that strong colors
are impossible for them.
a spcctacular ball given at Biarrftz
In September, at which the fashion
able world met, may have Influenced
the revival of the shell-hke coiors'
just as the Grand Prix ball in June
brought out the clothes and coiorlns
of the Italian renaissance.
The ball at Biarritz was too gor-
Eeous, too impressive. to be merely
an incident in the social history OF
this autumn.
1t is on just such occasions that
Paris POUNDS it's fashions. and 1t may
be that next February will witness
the result of this recent ball in the
salons of the French dresSmaRers.
Over here 1t would be merely a dance;
over there it was fraught with i'm
portance.
The King and Queen of Spain were
the guests of honor. The various
spectacles were like the dances given
itt the Tuilleri-S when Eusenle led
the fashions of the world and Amer
leans danced the Virginia reel.
The foremost designers i'll ParIS made
the frocks and hats true to museum
pieces. Lanvin was in her glory, be-
cause 1t was she who has insistentiy
struck the second empire note In her
frocks of mauve taffeta decorated
with deep berthas OF silver lace.
Pale green, mauve. white and smell
pink were the evening colors OF the
second empire, and bottle-green was
a strong favorite in the day. Poiret
has already launched clothes in bot
tle-green velvet. and the sketch to-
day shows a frock of silver lace open
in the back over a slip of mauve vel

pink tone in it. The wide girdie

AT ONCE THAT THIS WAS THE
MOTHER OF THE YOUNG FoA.
dooryard so that he could see clearly
whatever might happen there.
He didn't have long. to wait now.
Just after the moonlight made every
thing clear he heard a Fox bark out
back of the barn. He knew that
voice. for he had heard 1t often. He
knew it for the voice of Reddy Fox.
Almost at once Bowser. the Hound.
scrambled to his feet, shook himself
and started around back of the barn.
A moment later his great voice rang
out as he started off on Reddy's
trail.
No sooner had Bowser disappeared
around the barn than q shadowy form
appeared moving swiftly toward the
prison of the young Fox. Farmer
Browns Boy guessed at once that THIS
was the mother of the young Fox.
She appeared so suddenly and so
silently that it seemed almost as If
she must have come right out OF the
ground. OF course. Farmer Browns 8
Boy knew that she hadn't: it merely
seemed that way.
Straight to the box where the
young, Fox was she ran, and Farmer
Browns Boy could see that she was
carrying something thrown over her
shoulders. When she reached the box
she dropped her burden right in front
of it. 1t was. Il fat hen. Farmer
Browns Boy could tell that even from
where he was He knew 1t wasn't t
one of his hens, for he counted them
before shutting them up just before
dark ahd after they were shut up
not even Mrs. Reddy with all her
smartness could have caught one.
He saw. Mrs. Reddy stand perfectly
still in front of that box, and knew
that she was staring at the place
where she had expected to find the
little doorway. OF course 1t wasn't
there because of that sliding door.
Then Mrs. Reddy ran around that
box quito as if she thought she must
have made a mistake, and expected
to find the entrance on another side.
When she had been way around the
box and had returned to the spot
where she had dropped the fat hen
she once more stood perfectly still,
staring at that place where there
should have been an entrance. It was
clear that she was both surprised
and puzzled. She didn't know what
to make of it at all.
Finally she barked very softly. In
stantly she was answered by a whine
from inside the box, and Farmer
Browns Boy could hear the clink Of
the chain as the young Fox moved
about inside. Satisfied that her son

grow much excited. Once more she
ran around that box with her nose
close to the bottom of it Then she
jumped on top of it and examined
that all over very carefully. Satisfied
that there was no. way for her to get
in or for that young Fox to get out
at the top or on the sides she began
to dig under the edge. My. how she
made the dirt fly.
once more she was disappointed.
1t didn't take more than a few min
utes of digging to find out that that
box had wooden bottom Then she
went to work on that sliding door.
She tried to pull it open. She tried
to push 1t open. She tried to gnaw
a way in. But it was useless
Bowsers voice was no longer to
be heard That meant that he had
given up the chase of Reddv Fox and
was coming back. Mrs Reddy knew
that she had but moment more to
stay. She hesitated, then dragged
that fat hen close to the door and
darted away.

Flowers From Kid Gloves

Large brimmed hats with crowns of
flowers are very chic for fall wear
You can make some of these lovely
ornaments from the tops OF kid
gloves. Even If the gloves are OF
different colors, you can use them.
First cut out the flowers in the shape
Of the pattern in the upper left-hand
corner. Then dye or paint them the
desired color. (You can dye a light
color almost any other shade, but It
is best to dye a dark color black).
Finish each flower with French knots
for the stamens. Cover the crown with
thin silk, chiffon or metal cloth and
tack the flowers in place. The result
will be charming chapeau.

MRS. CLARA X. HEFLEBOW ER,
wi president of the Women's Press
Club Of Cincinnati. Ohio, and

ment OF the southeastern Ohio branch
Of the General Federation Of Women's
Clubs. says that she Is deeply in SYM

she Is doing in 50 many constructive
lines OF work today. Although Mrs.
Heiiebower's own work does not bring
her in constant touch with the young
girls of Cincinnati she is very proud
of what they are doing In that busy
mid-western metropolis.
Cincinnati is a musical center and
therefore many Of the girls in that
city are doing big things along musi-
cal lines In particular. There are also
many girls schools and colleges In
that city which are attended by thou
sands OF ambitious girls.
II really cannot give you specinc
instances Of what our girls In Gin

no way for the young Fox to get out,

for the moon to rise did Farmer

he went out to the barn and made
himself comfortable just inside the
