brellas. handkerchiefs-sucha are just
a fsw Of the accessories that con,
tribute to the happiness II not to the
| smartness OF the fashionable woman
Of today.
Incidentally these innumerable and
unnumhered little objects are the
things that make dressing doubly diff
, f1cult for many women. They keep
their heads while they select frocks
and wraps and even hats. In simple
froek and hat these women look well
dressed. But by the time they have
fitted themselves out with handbag
and gloves, an accessory collar ana
belt, scarf and other up-to-date gew-
gaws the result is enough to make
the dressmaker weep-that ts, II
dressmakers had not all become hard,
ened to such happenings y
You and a friend of yours may both
select tweed suit with a small hat
for early Spring wear. but you will
wear gloves OF one shade and she
of another-and you will carry plain
handkerchief Of fine white linen while
she will select a colorful crepe de
chine square. You will wear a white
gardenia in your buttonhole, while
she will sport bunch Of Parma
yiolets. That green jade bracelet that
you have worn SO much that 1t has
taken on something of your person
ality will peep below the cuff Of your
coat, while wide silver armlets will
appear when your friend takes Off
her gloves.
Really such matters are as much a
part OF you as your tone of voice
and have as much to do with the i'm
preston you present as the cosmetics
Or lack of cosmetics-that you
employ.
One can hardly solve this accessory
problem by letting them alone. To be
sure, during war days we went with
the minimum Of small things. Our
frocks called for neither collars nor
cuffs. They were beltless and grid
less. They went on in ono piece and
over the frock went a cape, which,
with q hat, was about all one needed.

left us more time presumably to knit
and sew and attend committee meet
ings and otherwise do our patriotic
bit.
We grew SO accustomed to frocks
that went on In one piece that some
Of us shall never willingly wear any
other sort. Still, the two-piece idea
has gained ground, and scarfs and
sometimes belts are now made detach-
ed from the gown. The new Tuxedo
suits for women are made up Of many
parts-skirt, waistooat, coat, jabot.
etc.
Well dressed women are buying
generous supplies OF gloves this
Spring. For one thing. there is no
longer anything smart about going
eloveless. The very women who a
few seasons ago vowed that they
would never get back into the habit
of wearing gloves--save when abse-
lutely necessary--noww wear them con-
stantly, save for dinner and other eve
ming occasions. Yes, and at Palm
Beach they even wear them with their
beach costumes and take them Oft
only on going into the water.
Moreover, the gloves that are con.

For your own peace OF mind 1t Is 81

Is a pale flesh, so is the other. You
may see women at your stocking

The vogue for ornate cuffs contin-

Of very well dressed women never

Of ornamental gloves that are shown

Gloves that are edged with metal links
silk embroidered in raffia, or cuffs
trimmed with metal nailheads.
The time has passed, at least for
the present, when women were con-
tent to possess a single handbag or
even two handbags-one for day and
one for evening. Yet plenty of wom-
en- used to carry one bag for every
and all occasions. They preferred to

lowers Of Vesta were not allowed to
marry, and the two little boys were
left in the woods to die. There q wolf
found them. cared for them as though
they were her own children. and they
grew to manhood. Later Romulus
founded the city Of Rome.
Rome, which was a warlike city,
always revered Mars, the god of war,
and had great feasts for him during
the month of March. In olden times
the armies of Rome could not march
in the Winters SHOWS, so that March
and the beginning Of Spring meant for
them the opportunity for more glori'
Gus battle and more victories for the
brave Roman soldiers.
For us, too, the coming of Spring
means a chance to get out of doors
again. And although the month Of
March Is stormy and windy. We must
remember that 1t Is dedicated to Mars,
god of war, and marks the final battle
between Winter and Summer. Sum-

Jewelry First Thing Savages Made.

One of the first ways in which man
used his brain, even while he was still
but a savage, was In making things
with which to adern himself. Thus
began the making Of jewelry.
The most uncivilized people in the
world are found to have some sort Of
personal decoration. Shells. dried
berries, small stones pierced with q
sharp instrument and brightly col
ored feathers are strung or tied to-
gether and hung around their arms,
legs and necks. Many savages even
make holes through their ears and
noses so that they will have still other
places to wear their crude jewelry.
In many ancient countries the orna-
ments worn by men and women were
thought to be symbols Of good luck
and therefore when the owner died

+ Imagine taking Il bath in butter
Yet that's what people did long
ago instead Of eating it on their food.
That Is, they used butter as an oint-
ment. rubbing il over their faces and
limbs.
There are still some Europeans
who do this. using olive oil OH their
food.
The Arabs are thought TO have dis
covered the process of making butter
because they were obliged to take
long journeys over the desert carrying
their milk on the backs of the camels.
The constant motion of the animals
had the same effect as hours of churn-
ing on our own back porch at home,
and the result--butter.
In India butter will not keep. so

more willing to invest in number Of
really worthwhile bags-knowing as
they do that they will continue to he
in good style for many seasons to
come.
When women's frocks came to be
made without pockets handbags came
into fashion as a matter Of necessity,
and 80 long as fairly close skirts con-
tinue handbags Of some sort will
doubtless continue. Cenceivabiy, Of
course, we might contrive to put our
odds and ends somewhere else--in the
folds of turbans like the Arabs or un-
der wide girdles like the Persians. But
there is little chance OF that because
women have grown so devoted TO their
handbags. If they had not little odds
and ends to carry they would want to
carry handbags. They are so attrac.
tive and have proved such useful
means to carry d note OF color or q
hit OF decoration. and moreover they
give the hands something to do.
Wernen Of today would be as lost with.
| cut their handbags as men would be
without their pockets.
Nowadays when one talks Of bags
one usually considers two general
sorts-pouch bags and envelopes.
| There are numerous sorts Of pouches,
''roomy pouches pouches wider than
they are deep. and pouches that really
look like pouches. Then there are fiat
pouches that might be mistaken at
| first sight for envelopes. Some of the
pouches have short finger strap and
| others a long strap or chain for the
arm. And so with the envelepes--some
have O. short strap through which the
fingers may be passed and some have
a longer strap which may be passed
over the arm. 80.
There seems TO he no first choice in
fabric for the new bags nor could one
make list of IL or even 90 materials
from which the new bags are made.
Just think Of any material from which
bag might be made and the chances
are that 1t Is somewhere to be found
in the shops where bags are had for
sale.

that with the normal increase of

that the Treasury win have a
