THE BLUES
BOMB PARIS

PARIS.
TUE 'Blues" are bombing Paris

and nothing with the civil war
veterans.

Champs Elysees. along the bouIe-
wards and in the Bots de BouIogne

we mean. Never since the pre-
war days has blue been 50 popu-
lar. Until this season the only
correct blues were the good old
navy and midnight, with an oc-
casional lighter shade at night.
No one ever though Of wearing
4 bright blue on the street.
Today the smartest blue tone
has a kind Of mauve tinge to it,
which makes It particularly sbe-
coming to both fair and dark
women. Pervenche blue Is also
very popular and goes to make at
least one out Of every three hats
and costumes seen on the streets
today. BoeuiIlet is using q deep
navy-pervenche blue for q de-
lightful midsummer coat. banded
with lighter shade and with co.'s
lar and cuffs of beige brown.
Worth has even dyed the fur blue
with which he trims a bright navy
coat, which is cut IN an extremely
smart way.
Molyneux is bringing out q duh
and decidedly purplish navy blue,
which someone has called ''hya.
cinth.% but which Is really too
new to be labeled yet. It has a
slight flare from the neckline.
where it is gathered into the long
scarf that forms both collar and
decorations, with its long, tas-
seled ends. Rows of tassels trim
the sides Of the coat. and the
sleeves are loose, with kimono
tops.
Jean Patou is showing q genu-
Inc pale baby-blue costume, which
is especially attractive for the
golf course. It is embroidered IN
strong Rumanian colors. with
brilliant reds. oranges and puppies.
The blouse is a jumper Of the
proper length, worn over q skirt
with pleats.
It is really smarter to wear two
shades OF blue at the same time
than just one, and milady may
even indulge in three or more IL
she is very much interested In the
blues.

did Perseus say?"
"Perseus said he would go at
once, and asked which sister the
king wanted killed.
1.-THE king told him he wanted
him to cut off the head of the
Medusa-the worst of all the
sisters-and he reminded him
that any one who looked into the
faces OF the Gorgons was turned
into stone.
Naturally, PerseuS was taken
aback at such a prospect; but
being very courageous, he simply
said he would go as soon as he
had hidden his mother good-by.
HE said good-by to his mother
but didn't tell her Of his awful
undertaking.: and then he lay
down to take a nap before start
ing on his journey.
"Curiously enough, while Per-
seus slept he had a strange dream.
He dreamed that Pluto, Minerva,
and Mercury came to his bedside
while he slept, and that each one
gave him a parting present.
pluto gave him a helmet; Min
erva presented him with a shield.
and Mercury's offering was a pair
of sandals.
"Then Perseus woke up; and 1t
was very strange, but there by
his bedside were the helmet, shield
and sandals. He thought, of
course, that the king had given
him these things. So he put the
helmet on his handsome young
head, strapped on the sandals,
took the shield in his hand and
started off,"
"Then what happened?" asked
Bobby.
Just then the cuckoo clock
struck. Bobby looked disappoint-

Bobby, one evening after
he had finished his home work
and had a few minutes before 1t
was time for him to go to bed.
you promised to tell me some
more about Perseus. / remember
that Jupiter was his father and
that his mothers father had heard
that he would be killed by his
sons daughter, so he turned Per-
seus and his mother out in a
leaky boat and put them to sea-

gotten them as far as an island

that tho fisherman and his wife
knew about them was that the
mothers name was Danae and
that her baby's name was Per-

see what happened" and I
scratched my head to help me re-
member.
This island on which they
were was very small-not~ more
than a dozen miles in length
and when the mother and baby
were quite rested. the fisherman
thought 1t would be a good thing
for them to go to see the king.
"Polydestes was the kings
name, and he was much struck
with tho beauty and high-bred air
OF Danae. In fact. he was SO
charmed with these poor ship
wrecked people that he invited
them to stay at his palace as his
guests.
"Perseus became very popular
with everyone on the island-so
popular in fact that the king be-

THE DEMON
JEALOUSY
BY Beatrice Fairfax.
NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am a girl of nineteen,
engaged for the past two years
to a young man twenty-three, and
I expect to be married in another
six months.
But he has one terrible fault.
His line of business brings him
in contact with lots OF women,
and, to use the slang expression,
he has a habit of kidding them
along"
Do you see any happiness ahead
for me, married to a man who
does not give me one minutes
peace Of mind? He truly loves
me. as everything he does IS for
my comfort; but he knows how /
feel about his actions. and just
laughs and calls me a silly little
goose.
HEARTBRoKEN LEoNoRA.
FRoM your letter I don't quite
understand just what It is
you object to. II by kidding
them along you mean your fiance
jokes with and compliments the
women he meets in the course Of
his business, see nothing in that
to upset you. Be sure that you
are not allowing jealousy. to de-
stroy your peace Of mind.
Be tolerant and good-humored.
Suppose he has small faults.
Haven't you?
If, however. you mean to infer
that he has serious flirtations with
other women, that is another mat.
ter. You would be foolish to
marry a man who cannot be true
even during the period OF your
engagement.

SAVING YOUR
STEPS
BY Hannah Wing
A Recognized Authority on All
Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.

UIHEN you take time to look
dispassionately at the arrange
ment Of your kitchen, especially
Of its larger equipment, you may
be astonished to find that you
could easily make simple changes
and lessen the number Of steps
you take every day in preparing
and clearing away meals. For ex-
ample. In getting ready to cook
any thing you probably bring ma
terials from the refrigerator to a
table or counter where they are
to be prepared. II this is as near
as possible to the refrigerator less
step taking In necessary.
Dry materials and pans should
be at the work table or within
reach of 1t. From there one would
move next to the range where the
food Is to be cooked. You may
discover that you have been re-
peatedly crossing your own tracks
in doingA such ordinary tasks.
A change in the location of the
dish closet may make 1t possible
to route soiled dishes from the
table directly to one of the sink
drain boards. wash them, drain
them on the other side, and put
them away as they are taken out
of the drain basket, all without
any unnecessary steps. A change
as simple and as obvious as having
the salt and pepper on or by
the stove for seasoning may never
have occurred to you as a STEP
saver.
One woman recently changed
the place Tor keeping cooking
spoons, pots and pans and saved
fifty steps; she assembled all the
baking supplies and equipment in
one part Of the kitchen and saved
from sixty to seventy-flve more;
by separating her dishes, keeping
certain ones in the kitchen and
others in the dining room, from
80 to 100 additional steps were
made unnecessary. Even II one
actually likes the extra walking
or thinks 1t is good for one, how
much better to do it out in the
fresh air.
