| BREAKING AN !
ENGAGEMENT
RY Beatrice Fairfax,
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I've been going about with
a young man for two wears. He
is steady and kind-hearted and
tries his best to get along. But
as yet he hasn't money enough
to get married. Lately don't
seem to be as happy in his com
pany as / am in the company OF
my other friends. When he's
away few days / don't miss
him very much.
Shall / break the engagementf
! I've never met anyone so con.
siderate, but I've met other men
I could like just as we'll. am
twenty years old. GEORGINA.
WITHOUT being a mind reader,
w Georgina, / suspect that
you have met some man who you
like better than your fiance. I
wouldn't break that good young
mans heart by playing fast and
loose with him. Unless you're
positive that you love him, why
not tell him that you have de-
cided you're too young to know
your own mind. thus setting
yourself free, and also freeing
him.
Talk 1t all over quietly and
kindly with him. You may be
actually helping him by taking
the first step. For it's possible
| that he also is hanging on" as
! a matter of habit = and from a
sense of obligation. Ask him to
be your good friend.
You'll know well enough when
you're in love. You won't have
to ask.

FIJCHSIA VERY
POPULAR
BY Alice Langelier-

Correspondent.

PARIS.
fashions were certainly never
i more colorful than at the
present moment. Whatever mi
lady wears, from her dainty shoes
to the top OF her hat, is gay and
cheerful, or at least has some
bright touch OF color in it.
Although one sees practically
everything that can come under
the wide classification of beige,
brown, purple, green, blue and red,
there are certain shades that
predominate decidedly. Fuchsia,
is very popular, but beige and
browns, in a gamut of shades
from gray-beige to maroon. are
: notably In the lead. Satinwood
brown, which is called hos de
rose in French, ranging from
pale beige to a' reddish brown,
makes many afternoon frocks,
Then there are pastel shades Of
green and many Of blue. including
lavender and ''bleu lessive" wash
ing-bluel which was said to be the
favorite shade OF Queen Alexan-
dra at the Riviera last season.
Pale blue kasha. powder-blue
georgette, turquoise and peri
winkle blue six muslin are being
rmade up into coat frocks and en-
sembles for the afternoon.
Combinations OF hunters green,
with almond, marine blue. with
periwinkle, and brown with beige
are very effective. For the spas
and watering places frocks and
coats, with designs punched out
in small holes the size Of confetti.
will be popular. It is the revival
of an old fashion WHICH is very
effective on floating ~.panels and
on coats with different colored
Innings, and it makes a pleasant
change from the ever-present en-
broidery.
The coIors in themselves are 50
lovely that every woman will be
tempted to indulge in things she
shouldn't wear. The one good
rule laid down by the designers
is to choose the shade that is
most becoming and select the cos
tune and accessories in harmony
with it. Bright color to be ef-
fective must be used sparingly,
and the well-dressed French
woman introduces the vivid color
note in her costume by wearing
a flower on her shoulder or by a
bright colored hat. In fact,
bright colored hats are on every
handsome head. after long win
ter season of black. Often too,
the color note appears on the
shoes. 1t is better to err on the
side of the soft rather than, too
vivid colors and keep as nearly
as possible to a single tone or
two-color combination.

HONOR SWEDENB0RG
BIRTH ANNIVERSARY
Followers Here Pay Tribute to
Theologian, Astronomer and
Philosopher.

Failing as it has just a few days
after a total eclipse of the sun, the
Garth anniversary of the birth of
Emmanuel Swedenborg, scientist
philosopher and theologian of the
eighteenth century. has been cele-
brated by his followers of the New
Church throughout the United States,
with many tributes to his pioneer
work as an astronomer.
President Coolidge, unable person
ally to participate in the functions
TO which he was invited. has written
n letter in which he says:
Il desire to express my deep in
terest in the work and life of this
advanced scientist and thinker who
was a pioneer 200 years ago In much
Of the progress and advancement in
the mechanical, biological and medi-
cal science of the present day, and
whose great learning and deep un-
derstanding of the mysteries of life
was supplemented by the strong re-
1igious faith which has had devout
followers many generation after the
founders death. l beg to extend my
compliments and good wishes to the
people who will participate in the
memorial to Emmanuel Swed enborg." ."
The commemorative services held in
the Church of the New Jerusalem in
this city were led by the Rev. Paul
Sperry, pastor, and there were ad
dresses by Miss Maud Sewall on ''Swe-
denborg the Scientist and Astronomer; ;
by DIR. John r. Swanton, on sweden
borg the Philosopher" and by Mrs.
Alice Thatcher Post, on Swedenborg
the Theologian." All of the speakers
followed President Coolidge in en-
phasizing the influence of Swedenborg
on modern science and modern
thought. Although the modern ap-
rlisnces and Technology of science
were unknown to the great Swedish
scholar, it was shown that his bases
of reasoning were all true.
