cry, and the metallic effect is secured
by using glass beads with metal sheen.
Then, metallic threadss are used in
elaborate embroidery as well as in
simple stitching designs.
The furriers have also acquired the
touch of King Midas and have made
furs that sltstcn with a golden sheen
sometimes bronze or silver instead.
Even handkerchiefs have their
metallic glitter. They are made from
little squares of seorgette with edging
Of fine gold or silver lace.
Nowadays it would be hard to find
an evening ensemble that did not con-
tain some bit Of metal about it
often much more than touch. a
velvet wrap is lined with gold brocade
and worn over a frock Of gold brocade
and lace, or a gold lace coat trimmed
with fur is worn over a chiffon bro.
cade frock, somehow ornamented with
gold threads or beads. The smart aft
ernoon frock has some bit Of metallic
leather about 1t. and many Of the
tailored cloth suits have metal cloth
cassequins to be worn under the coat.
OF all the metal tones, perhaps cop.
per is the newest and In a measure
the smartest, though, of course, gold
will remain the choice for evening.
But copper is favored because it may
be used 50 well with the bois de rose
or rosewood shades that are in such
high fashion. Interesting combina-
tionS of metal are sometimes seen.
The sketch shows copper-colored satin
trimmed with green and gold metallic
braid and tasSels and embroidered
With metal threads.

"Oh, no, 1 am not superstitious, but
/ take no liberties with 49,"
This inconsistency Is not peculiar
to the person quoted above. 1t seems
TO be one of those common paradoxes
which link our modern, practical,
cold.blooded world to the romantic
eerie, goblin-tenanted ages Of the past.
We are emphatically not super
stitious, yet, though we may not walk
around all day on the thirteenth with
our fingers crossed. how many of US
are there who will start an impor.
tant business arrangement on that
day, or who do not find 1t expedient
to alter our arrangements when we
think there will be 13 at table?
It may be because of the absolute
unequivocal penalty that this super.
stition, above all others, has carried
into this interpretations age. One Of
the 13 Is doomed to die and nobody
is sufficiently interested in delivering
posterity from its tentacles to try the
experiment
The unpopularity Of "13" started
with the Last Supper, at which Christ
and his disciples numbered 13. The
implication we all know. The reason
why the first to rise from the tabe
is supposed to be the one to die is
the fact that Judas. who was the first
to leave the supper table, very soon
after hanged himself

SUB ROSA
by MIMI.
Weekly Letter.

Dear Girls: After our somewhat
dreary stay In Hamburg we were
certainly glad to get back to Berlin,
SO much gayer and prettier. Here,
too. we have many friends, and our
four days have been in a whirl Of
gayety.
We dined last night on glassedin
balcony overlooking sort of min
iature Coney Island wherein water
chutes chuted and merry-go-rounds
turned briskly and roller coasters
dashed madly UP and down while
their passengers shrieked and prayed.
In the center of all this hubbub
was a large, raised platform, where
a continuous show took place-a sort
of one-horse-town vaudeville show,
In which an enormous quantity of
fat women sang at the tops of their
voices and executed weird dance steps.
1t was almost impossible to keep
ones mind on food. with the sound
Of all this babel going on, but for
all that we did fair justice to our
dinner.
After dinner we decided to take in
few OF the amusements ourselves,
SO we piled into a roller-coaster and
did little serious screaming.
However, they were really rather
tame after the we'll known American
giant scenic railways, 80 we wearied
of that sport and sought the water
chutes.
In the same boat with us were two
young Americans-boy and girl--quar-
reling their heads off in a really mar
ried fashion.
She hadn't wanted to go on this
horrid expedition and she hated water
chuteS and he never cared whether
she was having a good time or not.
To which he responded with brutal
candor that she was always grabbing.
anyway, and why shouldn't she like
water chute-she'd never been on
a German water chute--for all she
knew it might be much nicer than the
usual kind.
Well. the boat gave a tremendous
heave: we took a plunge down, down
into darkness-all of US were too
breathless to scream-and theh in a
second we had hit the water with a
terrific swish.
AS soon as our young compatriot
had found breath to speak she spoke
vehemently. NO, ! hated this one
just as much as any others, and /
hate this place and I'm going home"
she stormed.
Our boat drew up alongside the
dock. we disembarked, Miss America
stepped out. slipped. screamed and
was In the water.
Now she shrieked triumphantly,
struggling to catch the helping hands
stretched out to her; nov you see
what this darned old place has done
for me-
And the poor young husband saw
thoroughly. III bet he never takes
her to a German amusement park
again as long as they both shall live

Kindly give me a diet for girls OF
and 4 years, and please state things
that must be avoided.-Mrs. G.
Here is a dietary for the 3year-old
blespoonfuls two or three times a
week. Other days a soft-cooked egg or
a slice of bacon. A slice of graham
toast, buttered, a glass Of milk two
or three times a week, half a cooked
peach or a sliced orange or six strain
ed prunes.
For dinner a cup Of chicken or lamb
broth with a slice Of roast lamb, two
tablespoonfuls Of scraped beef or a
small serving Of chicken, with two
tablespoonfuls Of mashed or baked
potato and three tablespoonfuls of
some other vegetable such as squash
or stewed tomatoes or mashed car
rots. One slice Of bread and butter
and a dessert consisting of two table,
spoonfuls Of tapioca pudding or ice
cream or a cup Of junket.
For supper on days when no egg
has been given for breakfast serve a
soft cooked, coddled or poached egg
and slice of bread and butter. On
days when no egg is given at night
serve a cupful of clam broth or one
of cream of vegetable soup with two
tablespoons Of rice or rolled oats. a
cup Of mily to drink and on days
when fruit has not been served for
breakfast a small cooked pear or
baked apple or q heaping tablespoon
full OF apple sauce.
The 4-year old should have prac-
tically the same diet. The only diff
ference is that portions of certain
foods may occasionally be slightly
larger.
The evening meal may also be a
little more hearty. For instance, a
heaping tablespoonful of cottage
cheese may be added to the supper
menu or half a baked potato or a
slice of graham toast or small serv-
