GRAY FOR GAY
: PAREE
BY Mildred Ash

HRAY for Gay Paree has be-

that, even for the most formal
evening wear. long, glace kid
gloves of pearl gray are con-
sidered better form than white.
Prettily piquant are the cum
ming little ball watches so in
tensely Partisan in style. Enam-
eled in any one of the gayest
colors, such watch swings from
a. sautoir Of narrow black gros-
grain ribbon. The dial is ever
so tiny, but bears clearly marked
legible figures. There is wide
color range: French or dark blue,
gray amethyst, gr%en, rose, yell
low and black.
Pongee novelties have entered
the handkerchief line. Natural
pongee squares carry deep white
linen borders, and white linen
kerchiefs are likewise bordered in
the silk.
Not confined to golf are the
so-called ''gclf stockings, of heavy
appearance and masculine style.
In ribbed or plain weave, they
reproduce the same checks, blocks,
stripes and foreign figured de-
signs as have been seen in mems
hosiery for several seasons. Smart
ly tailored women are using this
type Of hose for street as well
as for sport wear.
Checked in time to become the
most stunning fabric for the Sc
verely plain spring suit, black
worsted shows a white hairline
check that is newer and smarter
than the hairline stripe that has
been worn so frequently this
season. Tailleur frocks as well as
suits favor the white hairline
check.

fabric scarfs and the gloves to
match. The scarf Is trimmed in
fringe, monogram or embroidery

DO MEN LIKE YOU?
Beatrice Fairfax Contrasts the Pretty
Plaything and the Woman With
Brains and Feminine Sweetness.

persons who are not equipped for
marriage amdse themselves with
the pretty butterfly. But the
average fine citizen, the sort of
man whose love brings a woman
happiness, looks beyond the daz-
zling clothes and through the
tawdry makeup and sees the
soul Of a fine, sane, balanced,
tender and kindly woman.
Attracted by the soul Of a
Huldah, men find out how stirnu-
lating her mind is, and then yield
to the soft, feminine charm of her
and there you have the formula
for something bigger than popu-
larity. You have the safe. way
to find love. Soul attraction,
mental stimulation and feminine
sweetness. If you want to be the
sort of girl men like, cultivate
those three things-and you'n
find you are the girl the fine
man loves.
But I've been talking the Ques-
ton, of feminine popularity over
with several men recently, and
one or two Of them were fairly
clear about what it is that makes
girls popular with men. So lets
match up what they said with
what Huldah indicated and see if
we can't come somewhere near
a solution of that problem SO
important to girls-"How am I
going to be popular?"
X, a fine, ideaIistic, artistic
chap, with a great deal of charm
for women, declares:
"A woman must have soul and
spirit to be charming. She must
respond to the moods of the peo-
pie she's with and then cleverly
change their moods until the man

For, 10! mans love must be held with many
devices; but womans love, as porous plaster,
is presumed to stick forever without holding.
Who, then, will teach a man that, when he hath
lighted the flame in a damsers heart, he cannot
safely depart and leave her to supply ALL the
fuel and tend the divine fire?
Who will apprse him that flattery is as sweet
to the ears of woman to the ears of man,
and that hOneyed words are the best mucilage
wherewith to hold wife's devotion?
