Vivid Red, Note of Smart Distinction
By MARY MARSHALL.

whatever the shade, they have this
much in common. They have been
almost universally popular and al
most as universally urbecoming. For
weeks of the Spring Fifth avenue nc
less than Main street was generous
ly dotted with hats of this perSua-
sion.
In the meantime. unless worn by a
woman with a great amount of chic,
hats of this color soon ceased to
look smart at all. Other shades seen
here and there carried with them far
more smartness. A woman wearing
hat of the blue ti.as ;s IKE q ball
or cube of bluing looked more dis
tineu:shed and there were shades of
green that carried conviction.
The other day at the tea hour
at rendezvous of well dressed
women quite the most distinct i'm
preston that one gained was. that
red was very much in favor among
the smart women present, and
that it was becoming in almost
every instance. Somehow it look
ed right, whether it were a deep
dark red of the sort that we are
calling Black Prince or red of
the more vibrant color of salvias.
What gave the red worn by
these women such decidedly good
effect was that in every instance
it was worn in combination with
black or navy blue-it appeared
as a scarf, a facing, lining. or
appeared in the design of a frock
worn beneath a black or navy blue
coat. Especially smart was the effect
of the combination of black, gray and
red.
The sketch shows a frock of this
ilk. There is a black chiffon tunic
worn over a taffeta frock of clear
red and gray plaid. There is a red
galalith buckle on the belt and a neat
little red felt hat.

The Lazy One.

There's q little juniper tree in my
garden. one of those silvery green
things that look as though they mad
been frosted and fretted by some
master fairy jeweler. 1t IS a reat ana
precise little tree in its form, groWlni;
in fiat layers which grow narrower
and narrower as they approach the
trembling Spire. But each gray-green
layer is thick with prickly wee needles
as thick as a mattress, and many
tiny bird finds warm shelter there In
chilly evenings.
Last Spring pair Of birds, Phoebes,
built their nests there, and before you
could wonder about it the family or
three had arrived and were driving
the parents hard from dawn TO
eventide. They were just three empty
sacks headed in enormous gaping
mouths. When they opened their
mouths there was scarce room for
their tiny beads of eyes. All day
credit be it known, they profited by
the feeding and became fine, healthy,
well feathered children.
One day Mother Phoebe told Fa-
Their Phoebe that today was a fine
day and she thought she might as
well give the children a lesson III
getting about, and he nodded and
nodded and stood ready u help. At
the chirp of command two little fell
lows trembled and finally staggered
over the edge, and mother and father
encouraged and aided them to stand
alone and shake out their wings.
But that third one just sat stodgilY
in the nest and pretended he didn I
hear, and knew nothing about the
lesson. When father or mother came
near he opened his mouth and cried
hunger. BY and by they gave up
and fed him.
Soon the two cheerful Strugglers
were up in the morning early carr
ing their daily food about the flower
beds, but the last one sat on the
porch, right out on the cushiony
| juniper fronting the nest, and waited
to be fed. He refused to move a
feather. His parents coaXed and
scolded and prodded and sat back
and discussed him. They showed
him his brother and sister hard at
work, soon to be first citizens, real
! pillars of the community, while here
| he sat, refusing to even grow up. ale
seemed to hear them Inoodily enough,
twittered sulkily, but bestirred him
self not at all.
His mother. moved to wrath and
| perhaps driven by despair, showed him
head over heels off the porch, and
he sat on the grass diSconsolate ball
of fluff. while the family went cheerily
on their busy way. Father would edge

lion the day of. my arrival in b. A
received "Tarjeta de Invitacion"
from the Jockey Club. My friend Tex
Richard had seen to that.
This club Is said to be the RICHEST
in the world. 1t looks it-inside. The
income from the races at the Hippo
dromo is so great that they hardly
know what to do with all the pesos.
Beautiful paintings, tapestries and
sculptured works contribute to the
complete inside elegance of the in
stitution and the efficient snobbish-
ness of the members.
The Hipodromo is thing of beauty
and a Joy forever-if you pick EN-
right. There is no racetrack any
where outside OF South America that
even ranks as a rival. However, let
me whisper, or 1 die the death of a
dog at the hand of Jockey Club paid
up member, the track at Santiago de
Chile is larger and more beautiful,
which means that 1t is the finest race
course in the world-although no Ar
gentino will admit it.
How they do 1t l don't know yet.
But have an idea, although | lost

come away with a few hundred of the
Jockey Clubs pesos had l not fallen
| for a horse by the name of Rip. or
course l had to play that one.
Did he win?

here: LAS likely as that your aunt Is

dromo is a beautiful park with lawns,

pie. There are three tracks, one in
side of the other, the outermoSt being
two miles in length. The infeld Is an
artistic Japanese garden with arched
bridges, lakes and lanterns. 1t Is all
SO beautiful that it really is privi-
lege to lose money here.
The ride back to the city IS just
as alluring as we pass through the

Avenida Alvear is claimed to be the
] finest avenue on this hemisphere
although l am not so sure about that.
