Fashion Neus.
Notes by Wire.
TO The Argus.

Paris, March 27.-"Russe straw"
the newest material for hats, looks
as the old horse hair sofa, but it is
really a very fine crinoline Russo
straw" drapes more softly than the
other horse-hair weaves and it is
turbans that have the appearance
of being swathed around the head.
The parrot, as popular as ever, is
often seen perched on the brim of
such turban.
London, March 27.-The old "wil-
low plate" pattern which gives a
panoramic view of Chinese ro-
nance has been taken over by the
jumper of an embroidered decora-
ton. Upon black silk jumper the
willow plate is most elective as a
little pagoda scene and tiny Chinese
landscapes embroidered around the
waist and sleeves. One new type OF
Jumper-blouse is of foulard, and a
handbag to match is worn with it.
Palm Beach, March pa dinner
gown seen here had an odd effect in
combination pocket and sleeves.
The foundation of the frock was
black crepe moracain, and it ended
at the arm pits. Over this was
lightly dropped a long jacket, much
on the order of the short dressing
jacket of periwinkle blue georgette.
A huge jet cabochen caught the
jacket at the neck and jet girdle
held it in place at the low waist
line. The jacket had very full
sleeves ending in crepe marocain
cuffs of black.
New York, March 27.-Among the
accessories for the tweed sports
suits are two toned silk sport hose.
These are a silk mixture in shades
of orchid, gray. tan, blue, brown
and all the tweed suit colorings: In
two shades of the same color, with
attractive side clocks, these stock
ings are especially effective when
worn with two color sports suits.
San Francisco, March PA
fashionable shop is displaying
handbags in the form of Chinese
pagodas with a carved wood orna-
ment on the top. The bags, made
of taffeta. come in Chinese red,
Chinese blue, jade and gold bro
cade. They are square and fash
toned of stiff overlapping flounces
to simulate the pagoda architec-
ture. AS often as not, the orna-
ment on top is a tiny idol, bright
with paint and gilt and lacquer.
New York, March 27.-Marabout
is coming in once more, especially
as used for springtime wraps. The
fetching little marabout shoulder
cape is here again in brown, taupe
and gray. Sometimes it is COM
bined with ostrich, which makes a
chic touch around the neck and
lower edge. Marabout has always
been popular because of it's light
ness and warmth as we'll as because
of its becoming fluffiness. It's re-
turn in the little shoulder wraps
may pressage its return as one
more trimming in a season which
uses as trimming everything from
a bead to chip of wood.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am
girl 16 years old, a sophomore IN
high school. l am crazy about the
boys and they seem to be crazy
about me, but they get over 1t SO
soon while still go OBJ liking them.
l don't see why they don't care any
more for me. I do almost anything
they want me to. l enjoy dancing
and dance we'll.
This is what puzzles me. While
the girls don't seem to be jealous of
me l have very few who want to be
friends. EDNA MAY.
You are probably too free with
boys and let them see how deeply
they interest you. Keep them
guessing little more and they
will like you the better for it. OF
course if you permit them to make
love to you as soon and whenever
they wish, they will quickly tire of
you and look for some one else to
interest them for the time being.
Girls probably do not care for
you because you are not genuinely
interested in them. They can feel
something superficial in your
friendship and realize that you care
more for boys.
Try to check your extreme liking
for boys and to cultivate a deeper
interest in girls. l am sure that if
you really make an effort you will
not want for girl friends.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l would
like to ask you question. My
mother is dead and i have no sis
tiers or aunts to ask.
l am engaged, but we have not
announced it yet, as it is to be a
long engagement. He has taken
me to his home a number of times
and I just worship his mother, but
don't understand her very we'll.
Would it be unconventional to give
her a birthday present?
SPRINGTIME.
/ think it would be just the thing
to give your fiance's mother a little
birthday gift. Make your Offering
or three dainty linen
handkerchiefs, for instance.
Do not make a goddess of her,
my dear, because after all she is

Suggestions.


Shoes-Some say that vaseline is
not good for patent leather shoes.
Now that the vogue in footwear is
conferred on patent pumps, every
one would like to know how to pre-
serve them. Vaseline not only pol
ishes the shoes, but it keeps them
in that soft-looking, polished con-
dition for days at a time. How
ever, it is really best for one to
rub a little vaseline into the shoes
we'll Immediately after wearing
same, and when they are again put
on rub the vaseline almost COM
pIetely off; thus the dust cannot
settle on them so easily.
Stale Bread Made Fresh-To re-
store a loaf of stale bread to its
former fresh condition, wrap it in
a wet cloth for a minute, then re-
move and bake the loaf in a Sow
oven for half an hour.
Hooks and Eyes-If the hooks
and eyes are always coming off just
try buttonholing them on and you
will no longer have to make such a
complaint. That is. instead of sew
ing over and over use the ordinary
buttonhole stitch or loop it. 1t takes
little, if any, longer to do, and time
is saved because hooks and eyes
are on to stay.
Packing China-When packing
glass or china use straw or excel
sior that has been slightly damp
ened. The water causes both of
these materials to swell, and this
swelling fills up the crevices, thus
wedSing the packing in between the
breakable articles much tighter
