tween the fashions Of 1924 and those
of 1927 there will be surprising
difference.
But the change is marvelously
gradual. 1t insinuates itself upon us.
Fashion works like the writer of a
detective story-offering many details
upon any one of which may hinge
the whole plot. And she almost
seems, like the detective story writer.
to keep you from guessing the real
outcome by focusing your attention
on details that are never to develop
into real Importance. So it was that
a season ago there were bustles on
the new clothes. 1t seemed almost
as If there were to be a revival Of
bustles and the fashions of the 1S80s.
Now we know that the hustle was OF
merely passing significance, while the
thing that counted was the skirt that
fiared about the knees.
So it seems now as il n sudden
change really had come about-for
hanging in your clothes closet and
in mine there may be a frock still
wearable. that measures a scant yard
and half around the hem. while be-
side it hangs new frock that Is not
an inch less than eight yards.
Many women-very we'll dressed
women, too-cling quite tenaciously
to the very scant straight skirt. A
skirt of that type still seems to be
in the picture. Certain of the lead
ing dressmakers, realizing the fond.
ness Of many Of their best dressed
customers for the straight. fiat lines
of the past few seasons, will continue
to make frocks and wraps OF this de-
scription. Meantime the f1ared skirt
the skirt that measures eight yards
around the bottom-is becoming more
and more firmly established.

Giving In Gracefully.

How many lovers quarrelS would
be ended without tears or broken
hearts If only one of the young peo-
pie had learned the art Of giving in
gracefully.
How many true friendships might
remain unmarried by violent alterca-
lions If both friends were not obsessed
with the idea that to give in would
be a sign Of weakness.
it's not only the matter of false
pride which prevents girl from adj
hitting she's wrong-that she wants
TO close the discussion or argument.
Very often her pride will wilt, her
anger will die down, she'll have every
good intention Of closing the battle
and she simply can't find the words to
ease out of the situation.
Some repentant damsels, anxious to
make up, but afraid of sounding like
weak, yielding creatures, eXclaim,
'Oh, all right. Have it your own way.
/ don't care"
They are apt to say this petulantly
with a shrug Of the shoulders to indi-
cate their supreme indifference to any,
thing a mere male may say or think.
Their pleasant little speech has the
effect Of starting things all over again,
usually. The mere male retorts,
warmly: you don't care about any
thing. You're just backing out now
because I've beaten you"
And of course after that there is
open warfare again. You can't help 1t.
Now If only the anxious-to-make-up
girl would twist her features into some
semblance Of a smile, would lower her
voice to normal pitch and surprise
the irate swain with some such re-
mark as: We'll. anyhow, I'm sorry
we're quarreling about this thing. 1t
doesn't nj m
TO start it," she'd knock her man COM
pletely off his feet. He'd be left speech
less and defenseless. His only possible
course would be to call her a good
skate and forget the whole thing.
You may say that the girl who al
ways gives in always gets the worst
end Of it.
Girls shouldn't give in when a really
important principle is involved.
But now honestly, how many times
have you started an argument about
the color Of some ones dresser the
character of a complete stranger?
How often have you kept it up, pure
ly through a feeling Of irritation that
your opponent should be so tiresome
as to disagree with you?
Sometimes you've gone on and on,
knowing all the time the issue at stake
wasn't worth q hoot-until suddenly
you've found yourself saying really
nasty things, and you've wanted to
call halt. but couldn't frame a grace
full speech.
The next time you find yourself run
ming into a senseless argument which
doesn't mean anything. but may de-
veloE into a real quarrel, give in
Make a nice. calm speech-don't
look as if you were still sore-tell him
it's your fault and watch the sunlight
hurst forth.
You'll save yourself a lot of needless
pickering and weeping il you learn
this little trick.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper. provided q stamped,

Clues to Character
The Affectionate Eye.
BY j. o. ABERNETHY.

The eye is the facial register of
the body, and its motions are due to
the development of that system. Sight
and motion are the two principal func-
tions of the eye. 1t is both a phys
ical and a mental feature. The bright
ness, the luster and even the color
of the eye arrest our attention and
give brilliancy and an appearance of
life to the entire countenance, without
which it would resemble statue.
1t is the movement as well as the
brightness of the eye that makes it
attractive, not a fixed gaze. The eye
in repose gives us the general tone
of the mentality, as well as the tenn
per and morality.
The eyl tells more of the emotional
than tho intellectual nature. 1t ex-
presses the emotions rather than the
purely intellectual processes. for the
movement is better adapted to feeling
than to thought. It is this great ca
pacity for motion which leads us to
conclude that the reasonably large
eyed individuals are more affectionate
and emotional than the smalleyed
creature.
The large, full eyes receive sensa-
lions more wildly, but lose them
quickly. This individual is quick to
grasp things, but he does not retain
them.
