Handkerchief on Sleeve
BY. MARY MARSHALL.

sleeves today; because today the
handkerchief tucked into the sleeve
Is put there for merely decorative
purposes--it is part of the adornment
of the sleeve.
Certain smartly dressed young
women who have been going in en-
thusia astically for the boyish tailored
suit this winter have adopted the
trick of tucking gayly printed
silk or linen handkerchief part way
up the sleeve, leaving one end float
ing in the breeze.
A newer trick is to have a small
pocket in the sleeve. into which Il
trinity folded handkerchief is tucked.
Or you may follow the other fashion
and tuck lace and embroidery hand
kerchief through a slit in the sleeve,
and wear a lingerie collar to match.
If you would rather you may wear
your handkerchief tucked through a
wrist strap. An odd little vanity
shown in one of the shops consists of
a strap studded with rhinestones.
through which the handkerchief is
thrust and from which hangs little
pouch wrought with steel beads devised
to hold the powder puff.
a tiny mirror is actually Fastened
into the lower part of the lining OF
some of the coat sleeves. so that the
Wearer may, see her reflected image
by a simple turn of the arm. BESIDE
the mirror there is a small pocket
where one. may keep powder, npst1cks
and the other war paint which women
still persist in applying when ana
where they list.

Before a Woman Becomes Engaged.

Recent discussions make 1t con-
stantly more dificult for the pros
pective bridegroom to evade his duty.
which Is to obtain a certificate Of
health from a reputable physician
and present It to the father or guar
dian Of the. prospective bride when
he asks for her hand In marriage.
No man worth marrying can object
to presenting such certificate. In
fact, 1t Is rather a suspicious circum-
stance when a man attempts to dodge
this formality.
/ am directing this plea to every
parent who may have to face this
vital responsibility of consenting to
marriage. / cannot express the
warning too plainly. 1t is terrible
thing for a parents conscience when
this formality of the bridegroom $
health certificate is neglected and
the health and happiness of the bride
are wrecked in consequence, as too
often happens.
that certificate and hand it over at
the time the parents or guardians 8
consent to the marriage is asked for.
1t isn't quite fair in any case to walt
until the young woman's guardian
asks for such certificate. 1t isn't
the manly thing to do.
Assuming that the young man in
the case is of the finest character and
reputation and all that, still he Is
member of the sex that sanctions the
double standard Of morals. Conse-
quently he owes it to himself to OBJ
tain and present his certificate Of
health Just as though he had been q

his wild oats and settled down II
he thinks enough Of the girl to wish
to marry her, he ought to think
enough Of her parent or guardian to
save the poor old duffer embarrass-
ment.
