SPORTS PUT end
TO SUNDAY FLIRTING
Beauty Parading'' Thing Of the
Past in Argentine

Buenos Aires, Aug.--10.-"Beauty
parading' and idle street f1irtations,
heritage of the Spanish colonial days,
are becoming extinct pastimes in Ar
gentina. The devotion given by Ar
gentine youth to outdoor sports in
the last decade, first by the young
men and now in growing measure by
the young women, Is held accountable
for the change
Twenty five years ago, the young
men of Buenos Aires, stiffly attired in
black. with high poke collars and
French patent leather shoes, devoted
their holiday and Sunday afternoons
to strolling along the avenues or
lettering on street corners with an
eye out, mainly, for pretty girls. The
girls, decked out with the knowledge
that they were to be admired. devoted
the same afternoons to ''coche" rid
ing, forming beauty parade" as
the vehicles drew them along the
avenues past the groups of young
men with whom they might exchange
smiles and flirtatious glances. This
was about all the outdoor exercise
Argentine young folk took in those
days, say the older generation.
Today in Buenos Aires there is
hardly a vacant lot on Saturday,
Sunday or holiday afternoon that is
not the scene of a football game.
Tennis matches are in progress on
hundreds of courts, golf balls soar
over the fairways of eight different
courses, swift racing SOULS leave the
waters of the river Lujan, propelled
by sunburned arms, on running tracks
young men hn spiked shoes seek to
make records in the hundred meter
dash, the hurdles and like events,
swimming, basketball and boxing
have numerous devotees, while young
men of wealth indulge in polo and
crack yacht races on the river Plate.
The formal Sunday afternoon black
of a generation ago has been sue
ceeded by light tweeds, homespuns
1annels and sport clothes. The
young men have less time to flirt-
While the young women have not
entirely abandoned the old Spanish
custom of beauty parading," for q
semblance of 1t can still be seen
along the Gale Florida at the noon
hour on week days, they, too, as If
discouraged by the dearth of ad-
mirers on holidays, have taken to out
door sports in increasing numbers.

In it may be kept the inevitable powder puff, lipstick, handkerchief, rouge compact, (and when the possessor of the bag is a bobbed-haired maiden, the tiny comb) as well as a few coins in case tip for checking wraps is needed and ones escort is not available. Best of all, 1t has a mirror in tho bottom on the outside where it may be used without disturbing the con- tents of the bag. The mirror in the bottom is the foundation of the bag and must be made first. Either a square, oblong, oval or round mirror may be used. but it must first be tightly bound with narrow ribbon or gold braid and the back covered with the material which is to be used for the lining.

Why a Man AlUays Marries The Opposite of His Mother

way of keeping the species normal. If big people married big people and lit- tie people little people. we should in time have a race of giants and pig mics. If the highbrows wed one an- other, and the lowbrows espoused each other the world would be di vided between the super-intelligent and morons.
 And if sons married women just like their mothers, we should see family peculiarities raised to their nth power.
 It is the attraction of opposites that l'eeps the world going, and that en- ables humanity to continue to present its pleasing diversity. Otherwise, the Browns would be Crowned out of eX- istence, and the Smiths Smithed into the insane asylum.
 And that is why sons never marry the perfectly suitable girls, who are exactly like mother was when she was young, that mother picks out for them, but marry some girl who is ex- actly like what mother wasn't, and isn't, and wouldn't be, to save her life, and with whom mother never has anything in common to the day of her death.

please" she said gently Kenneth glanced at his mother. He did not wonder at the surprised expression in her hard eyes. The daughter of the house was very unlike the be- draggled person of three-quarters of an hour ago.
 She wore dress of pale blue georgette. The round neck and short sleeves displayed the perfect throat and arms. The soft brown hair was knotted, a 8 usual, loosely at the nape of the neck. The dampness had curled the short strands near the face into soft rings. The hazel eyes looked very dark-perhaps from weariness or excitement-and the long lashes seemed longer than ever. The fair cheeks were flushed.

 There was no apology in the sug gestion-only a desire to give her guest that to which she was accus-' toned.

 Kitchen cabinets are getting into q class with player pianos.
 Nifty is the word for 'en.
 Light housekeeping is like opera now.
 It ain't much more trouble to get together a heavy meal than a light lunch.
 All you do is open up the keyboard -I mean the cabinet, and reach for your favorite music--I mean mix tures-nnd start in to play, which is all it is, with everything so handy.
 Once you get the key of the thing you can reach fer stuff, just like the organist at the movie can ma nipulate the stops without taking the trouble to look.
 If you didn't know saucepan from a saucer you'd soon have it by heart the way they have all their stuff laid out.

"One Trick q Day"
THE EGG AND THE BOTTLE

This is exceedingly simple, but to those who are not familiar with the trick it is very puzzling.
 Take an ordinary egg and lay it in vinegar for some time. After a certain period the egg will become soft and will bend lengthwise with cut brea king.
 When in this condition the egg can easily be squeezed through the neck of bottle.
 The trick can be made more mys- terious by secretly removing the egg and putting it in cold water for awhile. It will then resume it's former hardness and people will wonder how it could have been pushed through such a small aper- ture.
