THE LUCKY SEXTET

THE LUCKY SEXTET
Six of Americas most beautiful
girls are being sought by Jean Pa
tou, famous Partisan designer, to
act as models in his Rue de la Paix
shop this year. He has sent an
emissary to America, a recognized
authority on maidenly beauty, to
find the six who can make every old
dowager think that she will look just
as alluring in the gowns which they
will wear. Patou insists that he does
not want flappers, but typical
American girls" That distinction
should be encouraging to those who
have feared the worst. She must
be tall, blond, slender, athletic, be-
tween 20 and 25 years old, and very
feminine" The old old ideals of the
maiden beautiful seem to persist
through the ages!
OLD STANDBY!
If you are just "a poor working
girl" who believes that no dress so
fits the wardrobe bill as a a good
practical navy blue crepe, ready and
willing, you may be interested to
know that all the swanky ladies on
the Cote dAzur are touching up
their navy frocks with f1ecks of vio-
let in the way of shoulder flowers,
heads. handkerchiefs, or cuff and col
larssets.
CANT BE DONE, DEAR"
When Daddy phones that he
cant be home for dinner, as he
has a deal to put through" he is
probably telling the truth, and real
ly is continuing to work right
through the evening whT he would
much prefer to go home, dissertates
a male in a current magazine. He
warns wives that if they would quit
nagging about might work" and
wondering why their husbands can't
be home to wipe dishes, or mind the
children, their own days Of drudg-
cry might be over sooner, as 1t Is
the might work" with it's social
business contacts that brings in the
lucre.
Sounds reasonable at that!
SHE DIDN'T HAVE "IT"
mo woman is really afraid Of old
age until she can no longer honestly
complain that she is constantly in
suited by strange men," This is an
old old bit Of sophistication, saying
more or less smartly that the worst
evil which can befall any woman is
to be found unattractive.
Mrs. Cora Dorian of Brooklyn
demonstrated this to T In open
court the other day The lady faced
charges preferred by her husband of
misconduct. Ridiculous! said Mrs.
Dorian. Look at me-fat and short
and near-sighted. Do l look as II
would have much chance at 'miscon-
duct?'"
The jury acquitted her after short
deliberation and Mrs Dorian broke
into wild sobbing-which every wo-
man can well understand.
COAL STOVE FOLKS
We're only "coal stove folks" after
all. We hear so much about Amer
lea, land of luxuries and conven-
fences that common folks in the
Old World never dream of, that we
1ust naturally take 1t for granted
that the entire population lives with
bath tubs, electric lights, furnaces
and vacuum cleaners, to say nothing
of electric fans, toasters and percol
ators.
OLD ROUND OAKS
But a recent survey says that
even today the coal or wood stove is
used in the great majority Of homes
in this country. Then they sigh
But why? After all, most Of us
spent our youth around wood OF
coal stoves and look back upon those
days as about the happiest Of oul
lives. After all, was it much harder
work to build stove fires than fur
mace fires, and after all, is furnace
with its attendant radiators or reg
listers much more Of a thing OF
beauty than a stove?

an odd little Russian stove in theii
