NEW TUJNIC
BLOUSES
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

. GAIN we find the tunic
"A blouse in favor. The tunic
"A blouse really forms the bet
ter half Of a smart afternoon cos
tune, and one needs only to
wear a slip or skirt to complete
the outfit. Then, too, the blouse
may be combined with several
slips to create various effects.
and you can really have several
frocks for the cost Of one.
There is a decided preference
for the peasant type of clothing
this season. Printed fabrics and
figured materials, trend toward
Russian sleeves and bloused ef-
fects in the newest models. One
is of henna colored crepe color
fully sprinkled with bizarre fig
ures. There are an oval neck and
long full sleeves cuffed at the
wrist. The tunic Is split at the
sides to reveal q navy blue &C
Gordon pleaAed skirt. An elab-
crate bead girdle marks the log
waistline. and Is clasped at the
front.
Many Of the snartest blouses
are of a plain color with figured
sleeves and trimming. For in
stance. tobacco brown crepe with
sleeves of tan and brown and
gold figures is interesting. The
underslip is of the plain brown.
Some of the blouses are of plain
crepe with hrocaded chiffon
sleeves. Black satin crepe, with
long wrist-length sleeves of black
and gold brocaded chiffon, makes
an unusually lovely tunic blouse
and when worn with a scant long
skirt of the crepe satin is suitable
for afternoon occasions.
The short hip length over
blouses Of batik design are well
liked also. Very often, one may
have several blouses with a sep
arate black skirt to form a num-
Der of costumes. An exquisite
blouse is of flame georgette
sprinkled with gold motifs. and
trimmed with monkey fur. There
is an oval neck, 50 becoming to
the average woman, and very
short kimono sleeves. The sleeves
are edged with monkey fur, and
the bottom Of the blouse shirred
into a broad band at the hips.
With this lovely blouse, a cir
cular skirt of black chiffon velvet
is worn.
One might try this same model
in turquoise or deep amethyst
with gold motifs, or perhaps gold
with brown motifs could be used
with a skirt Of brown velvet.
Fine lace tunic blouses are
still seen, but these have the
long pointed drape at the side,
so much in evidence this season.

WHIMPERING WOMEN

Meetings.

But suppose. instead Of trying
to ape youth and giving only a
tawdry and savorless imitation Of
what is so charming when it Is
real, this woman had used her
own assets to charm. With the
coming Of the years which take
away the bloom Of youth. there
comes also poise, the knowledge
gained through experience, tOler-
alton, understanding and--sonle-
times the wisdom to smile at the
fleeing charm which always must
fade and give way to new youth.
What good does it do woman
to sit and weep over her lost
youth? What has any woman to
gain by moaning over any treas
ure which once was hers and is
hers no longer? No one can stay
permanent eighteen" physically.
Any one should detest staying
there mentally.
None of US can make the mill
grind again with the wateIS that
are past. But each Of us has it
in her power to use the present
and it's gifts.
To sit gazing In retrospect over
the days that have been is folly.
The time 10 now. And whatever
our yearning, however we agonize,
none Of us can turn the calendar
back to yesterday. So why
whimper about what has been?
Each Of US has today-which
is the sum of our yesterday and
the forerunner Of our to-morrows.
Don't whimper about the faded
glories Of the days that are gone.
Don't whimper about what you
desired and did not bring to pass.
Don't whimper about the diff
culties and disappointments of to-
day. Don't whimper in anticipa-
ton of tomorrow. Don't whimper
about anything!
Sit down quietly with yourself
and think Of your blessings, your
assets, your opportunities. And
adding them all up cheerfully and
hopefully-make the best you can
out of them and Of yourself.

Clancy felt sure Of that. She
didn't know whether to be pleased
or alarmed over that surety.
She felt annoyed with herself
that she was even interested In
Randall's attitude toward her.
She had come to New York with
a very definite purpose. and that
purpose contemplated no man
in it's foreground. Entering
Mrs. Gerand's 1odging-house, she
passed the telephone fastened
against the wall in the front
hall. 1t was the idlest curiosity,
still-it wouldn't do any harm to
know Randall's address. She
had brought.
rectory. He had offices in the
Guaranty Building and lived In
the Monarch apartment-house on
Park avenue.
She was more exhausted than
she realized: Not even fear could
keep her awake tonight, and fear
did it's utmost. For, alone in her
room, she felt her helplessness.
She had avoided the police for q
day-but how much longer could
she hope to do so7
In the morning, courage came
to her again. She asked Mrs.
Gerand for permission to look at
the morning paper before she left
the house. The Beiner mystery
was given less space this morning
than yesterday afternoon. The
paper reported no new discov-
cries.
And there were no suspicious
looking persons lettering outside
Mrs. Gerand's house. Three rods
from the front door and CIancy's
confidence in her own ability to
thwart the whole New York de-
tective force had returned.
Mrs. Gerand had recommended
that she breakfast in a restaurant
. on Sixth avenue, praising the
coffee and boiled eggs highly.
Clancy found It without diff
Guilty. 1t was q sort of bakery,
lunch-room and pastry shop.
Blown by a brisk wind, Clancy
stopped before a mirror to read
just her hat and hair. In the
mirror she saw a friendly face
smiling at her. She turned. At
handicapped table sat Mrs.
Carey. She beckoned for Clancy.
Short of actual rudeness, there
was nothing for Clancy to do but
to accept the invitation.

her, "as though you'd been out

HOW TO TREAT
COLDS

HE highest Of medical authori-
ties, the Journal of the Ameri-
u can Medical Association, has
recently discussed the prevention
and treatment Of common colds,
and q summary Of it's teachings
should interest everybody.
The Journal thinks there is no
sure way Of preventing on acute
cold in children and adults, but
much may be accomplished by at
tention to minor details. One
should dress so as to be warm,
which does not mean wearing such
heavy flannel underclothing as to
keep the body damp with perspira-
ton when indoors.
One should avoid wet feet, and
not sit in drafts, especially when
tired or rundown" An evening
in a crowded room that is poorly
ventilated will often result in a
cold, particularly II the feet are
damp, IL the overcoa& ID kept on,
and one is tired to begin with.
Then much can be done, says the
Journal, by seeing that the child,
or the adult, gets fresh air at night
and is out doors In the daytime
as much as possible, even In cold
and perhaps unpleasant weather.
Cool baths in the morning help
materially in the hardening process
that enables one to resist the in
lection that would otherwise result
in a cold.
Offending adenoids and tonsils
should be removed. and the sinuses
about the nose kept in as good con-
dition as possible. By these sim
ple and common sense methods
alone, declares the Journal, large
proportion of common colds may
be avoided.
The active treatment Of the sim
pie cases is largely one Of ordinary
care, little medicine being required
The patient should stay at home a
day or two, preferably in bed, take
light food, a laxative, a hot foot
bath, hot lemonade and wrap him
self in warm blankets until free
Precipitation in induced. Gargles
and sprays do good chiefly because
of their cleansing effect.

The waiter brought her change.
She gave him Is cents, an exact
10 per cent OF her bill, and rose.
Then she bent over to pick up her
evening paper. Randall forestalled
her. He handed It to her, and his
eyes lighted on the want ad" col
