Use Care in Selection of Your Accessories

No chain is stronger than its weak
est link and if you want TO JOIN the
ranks of the sartorial impeccables you
must be as meticulously careful about
the selection of gloves, bag and otllef
accessories as you are about the cos
tune itself, says correspondent In
the New York Herald-Tribune.
Gloves require particular attention
this season and advice on the subject
can best be given by series of don'ts.
The reason is that here again the
strictest simplicity is the prime essen
tial of good taste. The lace gauntlets
and colored stitchings of other sea-
sons are as forgotten as if they had
never been. Plain suede gloves cut
in a simple sac form, with inconspic-
uous self-colored embroidered ribs on
the back of the hand, sometimes an
elastic band inside the wrist but more
often none, are en- regle and evidence
the still modish process Of elimination.
The suede should be of the finest and

inappropriate in the short-visiting

itself on a certain lack of convention

Green Lane looks a sight a perfect
sight"
Mrs. Cucumber Green changed her
voice then and answered for Jane:
"Yes ma'am, that we must surely
do. The house does look a sight. What
with the children playing so hard,
bless their little hearts, and mussing
things up so, the dreadful little things
we must put everything to rights"
To-day would be a good time for
house-cleaning," Mrs. Cucumber Green
said
"As good as any" Jane Eckler an
swered.
So Mrs. Cucumber Green put on az
apron which she wore when she was
pretending" she was Jane Ecker. She
had little pail and in it was dry
water.
Dry water, of course, is water which
Green's mother was afraid she would
! catch cold if she used wet water, she
always used the dry.
| She dipped her rag into the pail and
wrung out the pretend" water.
Then she scrubbed the windows of
the doll house and put everything In
order.
OF course she had to send the chill
dren out to play when she did this,
and she put them on big chair which
| Hoi
Grandma sat.
Grandma always made the children
so happy. Sometimes as Mrs. Gu
cumber Green was being very busy
she would hear Grandma talking to
the children.
There were some grown-ups who
wouldn't do that. They would only
speak to your children when you were
with them. But Grandma could be
heard every now and again saying:
"Well, Allie Baa, l hear you went
up street with your mother this morn
ing. hope you got the very best OF
oranges for u.s."
Then Grandma's voice would change
so as to sound like Allie Baa, AMI AL
lie, in Grandma's pretend" voice
would say:
"Yes. Grandma dear, the very best.
The man said they were very fine, the
finest in town"
Grown-up people came to the house
who sometimes would say to Mrs. Gu
| cumber Green's mother:
How well your mother looks-she
| doesn't show her age at all"
That seemed so very silly to Mrs.
| Cucumber Green. Grandma was one
of the youngest people in the whole
world--and never could Mrs. Cucum-
ber Green quite understand how she
happened to be her mothers mother.
1t could have been the other way
around just as easily.
Grandma called her little cub
which was a very sweet, affectionate
pet name.
And she had pet names for Mrs. Gu
cumber Green's children. too.
But Mrs. Cucumber Green, or Jane
| Ecker as she was now pretending
to be, couldn't listen TO the talk now.
For Green Lane simply had to be
tidied up.
There were the dishes to put in their
proper places and the little make
believe lamp which should always be
in the best parlor of the dolls house
was in the kitchen.
