Theories of Fletcher.

theories of Fletcher.
Fletcher never fails to impress
upon his players that they did not
finish last in 1922. The Phillies have
held down the tail-end position for
so many years that Fletcher wants
his players to keep in mind the fact
they did not finish there last year.
The other point that he keeps driv-
ing home is that by finishing sixth
the club will show a substantial inn
prOvement. In various ways he tries
to show where the team is stronger
than last year and should make a
better showing.
Sixth place is the spot Fletcher is
shooting at There are some who
will insist that he might as well
shoot at the moon, but the Phillies
manager refuses to see it in that
light.
Sidestep Last Place.
KeeA out of last place. Fletcher
keeps preaching that theory to his
athletes. He doesn't want his team
to hit the cellar a single time during
the season. He seeks to stay out Oh
last place because of the psychology
cal effect he is certain it will have.
Pitching that is certain to be bet
ter. An infeld that will be 25 pea
cent better Catching that will be
worthy of a pennant winner. An
outfield that will show a much inn
proved player in Curtis Walker, pick
ed up by Fletcher to soon develop
into a real star. There you have the
reasons for Fletcher's optimism.
Fletcher feels that Boston is better
than an eighth place team. However,
since the Phillies beat out Boston
why they cannot repeat. Incidental
ly Brooklyn is the other club that he
feels he has more than an even
chance to nose out.
The Probable Lineup.
Unquestionably the Phillies of this
year will be considerable improve
ment over last year. The club will
present practically the same Lineup
of last year, with the exception of
Sands a short and Holke at first.
Sands looks good.
In all probability Williams, Wal
ker and Lee will start in the outfleld.
The ability of Williams is well
known Lee has promise, while Cur
It's Walker looks like a sure enough
star Walker is the youngster Sc
several deals made by PhiHy with
New York.
Fletcher's ball club doesn't look so
much on paper, but it is 'displaying
spirit in training that will be
something entirely new to the Philly
fans. Even that should help.

Care of Finger Nails
Fine Art, SAYS Actress

"Care Of the f%ingernails Is such q
fine art-much finer than it Is usually
ranked-that | have devoted time and
attention to learning about it," OBJ
serves a prominent movie star. "a
girl, really, should show the same
care in the treatment of her nails that
she does her complexion.
First, the cuticle should be
jabbed at, because the nails will i'm
mediately resent it and the moons
become imperfect. Care should be
taken in polishing that q too high
luster doe not detract from the beau
ty Of the finished operation.
"Soak the nails for a few minutes
In warm, soapy water. Wipe gently

warm olive Oil-this is invaluable il
the fingernails are at all brittle-wipa
dry and polish with nail powder, or II
g brilliant polish Is not desired, rub
each hand briskly on the palm Of the

Neglected nails really reveal a pro

girls would resent being accused OF
possessing. Just a few minutes q
day spent in caring for the hands

Should Choose Colors
That Will Suit Eyes

For those who wear blOuSeS AMI
s~hir:vaists the most important point
TO remember is that the cut Of the
neckline makes or mars the contour
of the face-just the right cut forms
a setting for the head. Ribbon ties
bows, medallions, jabots of different
coIors add greatly to the fresh look
of q waist also add variety and make
one blouse seem many. Ribbons worn
at the neck line should be carefully
chosen as to color. Color worn near
the face affects the shade Of the eyes.
The right colors brighten, intensity
and beautify the eyes; wrong colors
dull, fade or spoil the cOloring or ex-
preston of the eye.

Sport Clothes Still

Use Ribbons and Cords
TO Hang the Pictures

The day of the hideous wire hang
ings for picture and mirrors is past.
Ribbons and gay colored cords now do
u"tilitarian service ever as they deco
rate. Most attractive ribbon hangings
are designed so that Il ribbon c0ckade,
cOnventionaliZed flowers or even bows
end the ribbon where it catches to the
holding or hides the nails from which
the mirror is hung. Sometimes n
streamer Of flowers falls from the
COckade.
Some ribbons are strong enough TO
hold the object to be hung. Where
the. object is very heavy, put a wire
or heavy cord back of the ribbon.
Small objects need 5rl one hanger.
Larger and heavier ones need two.

American Women
Are Best Dressed
Adverse Criticism Is Unfair,
Declares Fashion Cor
respondent.

The American woman is constantly
the subject of a great deal of adverse
criticism In the matter of dress. Most
Of this criticism is unfair, asserts a
fashion writer in the New YORK IT'D
une. One rarely hears that the women
Of our w country are the pest
dressed women Of the world, although
this is undoubtedly a fact. The state
ment is made continuously that the
women of this country show no origl-
nality in the matter of selecting
clothes-that each woman wants TO
look just like every other woman.
This statement is refuted by the
fact that so many of the ideas launched
this spring have been adopted by
them. Women have not run TO one or
two styles in dress. 1t is true that
any style that is becoming will be du-
plicated again and again, because
everybody knows that there is not an
unlimited supply Of ideas in dress
either here or in any other country.
Skirts may have plaits either on one
side, botL sides or directly in the
front. There is usually Il plain skirt
beneath these plaits TO which the
plated section is stitched, so that 1t
does not widen the skirt. When they
are used at the sides they are very
much like a fan stitched at each side
Of the garment.
A remarkable model is a frock Of
black crepe de chine with the lower
part embroidered with Il scattered de-
sign of garden flowers such as sun
flowers or bright red hollyhocks in

she was not helping him to run away (;
he was no longer hunted-at least he
was not only hunted; he was hunting
