The conflict of authority between

Cnuer our very noses.
Once lecturer made this state
ment: Opportunity is all about us
and we need only be Alert to discover
it. Look but six feet in front of YOU
and il YOU are sufficiently alert, you
will discover it."
One member of his audience looked
directly in front Of him. not six feet
but two or SO. and was confronted
only by a woman's back hair He be-
gan to ask himself how her hair or
anything about her could afford him
opportunity? Not a very promising
situation. was It? But. as he looked.
studying the possibilities. he saw one
OF her hairpins fall. 1t was straight
hairpin. He asked himself the question.
III one straight hairpin falls from the
hair, must not all? And if this be true,
what waste and expense it must be.
to say nothing of the annoyance to the
wearer, the sense Of insecurity she
must feel. How can I remedy itY
The obvious conclusion was that the
pin fell because it was straight. Then
obviously again. the solution would be
10 invent pin with some sort OF
simple device that would hold it in and
yet not alter to any appreciate ex-
tent. the simple design of it. But
what? Alertness. too. dwelt upon the
possibilities Of sale and concluded that
they were limited only to every woman
in the world that dressed her hair
Alertness had discovered the oppor-
tunity. great opportunity. and had
handed il to him. And he. in turn. had
discerned clearly the problem and had
earnestly set about to solve IL. And hs
did.
The solution was so simple that

could have. but. YOU hadn't thought Of
il. Alertness had not discovered il to
you but had to the other follow.
And what was the solution?
Merely putting "wiggles" in the
hairpin!
That's all. But it works. They hold

What We want to do is to discover

young girl who was so gay and good
tempered and who made one forget
disagreeable things?
About half past twelve a stir caused
him to look up. There was Muriel
coming to lunch with him after he
had particularly requested her not to.
For a moment he could not control
his features and plainly showed his
annoyance. One of the younger men
Uttered and he flushed darkly red as
he rose to greet his wife.
Il came down to have lunch with
you. Bruce" she said in a perfectly
composed manner. oblivious to the
others. although she had acknowl-
edged Tom Mason's greeting by a stiff
bow. "HOw soon will you be
I'm ready now." He was anxious
to get her out of the office and to
get out himself. His face was Grim
son as he took his hat and walked
quickly out beside her.
Don't look at me like that. Bruce"
she said when they reached the
street. you should be proud l love

Proud" he repeated through set

"Well go in here" He turned into
the door of a small restaurant. 1--WE

They sat down at small table near
the door. Bruce ordered. He saw
Muriel start, and, raising his eyes.
looked directly into the black eyes of

away, annoyed that Muriel was with
him, more because it prevented him

Tailor-made Girl Stages Snappy Comeback
BY MARIAN HALE

We welcome back the tabernacle
girl.
We haven't seen much of her for
a season or so.
Her sketchy sister with flowing
panels and wrappy coats succeeded
in getting her quite into the back
ground.
But she refused to stcy there.
She cleverly crossed the severely
tailored suit with the popular sports
model and achieved a result that Ic-
tains the best qualities of both.
Good Figures Scarce.
Probably it was consciousness
which ended the vogue of the severe
tailor-made. 1t isn't seen TO advan-
tage except on the good figures and
good figures are the exception these
days.
The sports costume always had che
comfort and color that the tailor-made
lacked. but it never attained the Sc
verer styles trimness and neatness.
Tn, new soprt-tailleur possesses all
these qualities.
It's appropriate for business, street
or sports wear. It's neither too con-
spicuous nor too plain.
Suits the 1928 Girl.
It's the typical costume for the 1923
American girl.
There's a tendency to combine plain
jackets with checked, striped or other
wise figured skirts, and to unite the
two by bindings or trimmings of the
figured material on the plain.
Skirts are narrow, but not unconl-
fortably so. They're. of medium
length.
Jackets generally are of hip length
and belted or unbelted, to suit the
type of coat.
Sometimes the plain sack coat is
modified by a side closing and long
reverses.
Belt Is Variable.
The belt may eliminate itself en-
tirely, or it may select practically any
parking place between waist and hips.
Or it may be wide, and finish the
jacket in a band or cuff. But The
commonest place for it is at the nor
NAL waistline.
Materials are flannel. jersey, tricot.
kasha cloth, twill and the new
knitted fabrics Of wool, silk and silk
and-wool, woven together.
Such suits as those shown in the
picture are the last word in style.
They're bound to come in for good
share of attention on the Easter
parade.

1t was unlike Muriel to drop the
subject, but she believed Bruce i'm

have blown on his coat. Her mother
had warned her about showing jeal-

what she had said: Don't belittle

Had any one suggested to Bruce

such a thing was impossible. Lulu
