SWEET WILLIAM OR VIOLETS?

Walking one day with a friend of mine through her gar
den we were discussing the beauties of the various flowers.
Inc gorgeousness of the peony, the simplicity of the violet,
the old-fashloned quaintness of the phlox, the peculiar odor OF
the marigold, the richness of the rose and the sweetness of the
honeysuckle.
Suddenly my friend turned to me and said, "You know,
| believe I'm going to call Sweet William my favorite flower,
because | can't make it grow, because l cant conquer it."
Strange reason wasn't it for liking a flower best. The
delicious odors, the rare beauty Of the really more handsome
blossoms were but secondary to the peculiar charm Of the UNI
conqnerableness of the Sweet William. How like some women.
The lure of the unattainable always fascnates.
In matters Of the affections, too, how true it often is. To
such a type of person to be too sure of another's affection kills
it. For them there is charm in uncertainty and conquest,
while to the opposite type there is comfort in surety and
safety.
1t is a characteristic which has its advantages. In such a
nature the spirit of of ambition is well developed. Such a per
son sets high standards and difficult goals for ones self.
Though they may never attain them they constantly strive,
and striving develops strength. It's disadvantages are apt to
be a continual restlessness and lack of poise and contentment.
In your garden of life do your Sweet William blossoms
hold for you the greatest charm, or do you love best the de-
pendable violet which without care greets you every spring?
Does the lure of the unattainable charm you more than the
Joy of accomplishment? 1t is all a matter of ones temperament.
But tis interesting, ism ii, to discuss ones various character
istics and ones personal preferments.

HOLLYWOOD, CaI.-When you
go to the movies, keep a close eye
on the popular actress of the play.
Likely as not she will be wearing
just the kind OF creation you'd like
to have; just the kind of dress most
suited to your taste and needs.
More likely, even, the star of the
movies will be showing you the lat
est model fashion has decreed for
the coming season. In fact, she will
try to go even further and anticipate
the trend of fashion for at least half
a year.
The reason for this is that movies
last SO long, going their rounds of
the country, the stars costumes
would be considered old-fashioned
toward the end of the movies run.
The costumers for the films have
the additional problem of selecting
a mode before the enc are taken,
and yet having their designs at the
height of fashion when the film is
exhibited.
Examples
Yet is generally safe to appropri-
ate fer oneself modes shown OF the
films. Here are the cases of two
actresses, for example, to show how
successfully they anticipated the
styles of today.

For Head Wear

Two of the latest %conceits from
Paris are the bandeau of flowers to
cover the knot for evening wear, and
the breakfast cap that does duty just
where you would least expect 1t. The
sketches give you the idea.
For evening, French flowers OF
satin and velvet or silver cloth are
arranged on a silk foundation with a
bone hairpin concealed on each side
to hold it in place.
The boudoir cap is a band of lace
and insertion with a pink satin rose
placed directly in the back and blue
satin streamers on one sidb and a
puffy little bow on the other.

BROADCASTS
BY LORA KELLY

College girls are always subject to
a lot of advice. Their position as
students apparently renders them
liable to attack by their elders who
claim a corner on wisdom.
How to manage a husband is no
new topic. One finds the more on
less celebrated Madame de Main
tenor, consort of Louis XIV, dispens-
ing oral morsels of wisdom to the
girls of the college of st. Cyr, and
her ideals still pass current in our
best heart-throb columns.
In fact, they could be taken as a
model for articles of faith by most
brides who do not believe the sum
and substance of welded happiness
lies wholly in the injunction to Feed
the Brute"
At any rate, here they IRE
when you have acquired a husband,
love him.
After marriage, study him.
IF he is honest, honor him.
IF he is generous, appreciate it.
when he is annoyed, divert him.
"If he wishes to discourse, listen to
him
IF he is of noble sentiments, praise
him.
"If he is faithful, encourage him,
"If he is jealous, cure him.
IF he loves to go in society, accom-
pany him.
IF he does you a favor, be CRATE
full.
when he merits it, embrace him.
ION the whole, act so that he will
believe himself to be the head,
but will never perceive that you
are governing him."
Now if Mr.. de Maintenon had only
left behind a similar schedule on
"How to Manage a Wife," the set
would be complete.
