SsT rs nice day outside" remarked
4 the Hotel Stenographer as she
removed her coat, shook her umbrella
and prepared to go to work.
Il don't think" agreed the House
Detective.
Il know you don't, Kelly" answered
the girl. "That's the reason you are
a success as house cop and with
the ladies. All the old hens in this
hotel cackle around you like you had
your pockets full of corn. That's be-
cause you don't think, too Kelly, no
woman likes to have man think in
her presence. 1t is like closing a door
in her face. AS long as a man talks
to a woman he does not have to think.
In fact, he better not or she will in
terrupt him.
when he stops to think he gets
her all fused up, because woman
always acts on impulse without think
ing. While man is paused to think,
she is worried sick for fear he is
going to put his brains to the prob
lem before them in which case she
always gets the worst of it.
"As long as man Is talking, she
can keep up with him. But when he
stops to think, he's got her buffaloed.
That's why men get into so many
messes with women. Women will not
let them stop and think. Lots of men
walk home from women's houses talk
ing to themselves because they did not
stop to think. Alimony. matrimony,
hush-money and a lot of other male
complications have their origin in
womens ability to keep men talking
and not thinking.
"But a man like you, Kelly, whose
face states that thinking is not your
habit, is a great hit with my sex.
Most men of your type haven't any
thing to lose, it's true, but what little
there is they are willing to lose it,
and that's all any woman asks Of any
man.
what are you doing? Trying to-
kid me?" asked the House Detective.
"No," said the girl sadly, Just do
ing it and making you think ! am
not"

Relief for Rickshaw Men

Efforts to preserve the picturesque
rickshaw from extinction, due to the
increased popularity of automobiles
in Japan, prompted the Tokyo pre-
fectural government to announce that
hereafter rickshaw men would be ex-
empted from paying taxes on their
conveyances. There are 1885 rick
shaws in Tokyo and 1922 in the
suburbs. Owners Of these vehicles
In the city have been required to pay
a tax of so sen for each rickshaw.

Hen1lirae Flare Is
Seeking Admirers
Mode Still Persists; Same In.
Auence May Dominate
Autumn Fashions.

1t will come as something of re-
lief to learn that the Paris midseason
collections have not furthered the re-
action toward the slender silhouette.
Indeed, even the hemline flare. once
the leading insurrectionist against the
simple and narrow outline, but more
lately snubbed by an ungratefuI mode,
has returned to claim some of its
early admirers. Despite the many pre-
dictions of a return to the straight
silhouette, the spirit of the flare still
persists, declares fashion writer in
the New York Herald-Tribune. and
1t is our belief that the same influence
will dominate the modes of next au-
tumn.
The flare, in its present connotation,
does not exclusively mean the hem
line distension which was its first and
most popular manifestation. 1t now
indicates any deviation from the
strictly parallel outline which was the
essence of the postwar silhouette.
The question of skirt length, about
which so many conflicting ideas have
been broadcast, remains In status quo.
Despite rumors of greater length, aft
ern0On dresses are as short as ever
and sometimes a little shorter. Eve
ming dresses are clearly longer but
that is not of great significance. In
dications at the moment are that late
summer and early autumn will wit
ness a slightly lowered hemline. 1t
will be no more than few inches at
most, however, and 1t will not be the
forerunner of the ankle-Iength skirt.
For which you may be duly grateful.
Two-Piece Erocks.
Generally, the present midseason
collections confirm the various ten
denotes that were launched earlier in
the spring. Outstanding is the uni
versal prevalence Of the two-piece
frock, though for day wear rather
than evening dress, in which realm it
has given way to the more feminine
and deliberately worked gown that
contrasts sharply with the sports-like
tendency of the daytime mode.
Jean Patou shows jumper frocks
even for the afternoon in town, and
of such material and make that they
are suitable for the bridge party or
the tea dansant as well as the street
One particularly smart model is made
of black satin, and has that touch of
pink which is particularly fashionable
just now 1t appears in the cravette,
the cuffs and in two narrow rows In
the skirt above the hem. The whole
skirt is finely plated.
Another charming example of the
jumper frock in the Patou collection
is a dainty model that will be much
worn at Deauville and Biarritz
throughout the summer 1t is made
of beige crepe de chine, finely hand.
tucked In horizontal lines with small
square yoke, the latter left untucked.
A narrow gold leather belt gives the
final touch of originality to this pretty
frock, which has the skirt plated with
the same degree of fineness as the
tucks on the jumper.
Contrast In Coat and Dress.
Also noteworthy among the general
tendencies of the demi-season offer
ings is the contrast between coat and
dress in the two-piece ensembles. A
Louiseboulanger model illustrates a
very happy Interpretation of this idea.
She shows a straight coat in mauve

THE SUNFLowER FAMILY

MOTHER SUNFLOWER told the
4NA Sunflower children she wanted to
tell them something of Sunfower his
tory.
The Sunflower children looked so
bright that Mother Sunfower knew
it would not be hard to teach them,
And then, too the children would not
object because there would be no
dates to remember and they would
not have to answer questions at the
end of the lesson.
TN the first place. said Mother
Sunfiower, I'VE are all made up Of
many little flowers"
The Sunfiower children all nodded
their heads as though to say: Yves,
Mother dear"
"'The rose is a flower all by itself.
It is made up of many little roses.

in the shape of some flower or motif
of the same color as the dress. Molly
neux varies this very slightly by US
ing marquisette instead of chiffon, and
the effect is as light and airy as If
the fabric were chiffon. Pale tur-
quoise blue and beige that is ranged
from palest champagne to light nut
brown are the most popular new color
ings for these gowns, though there is
still a great deal of currant red, gera-
mum rose and a beautiful bright
green with a hint of blue in 1t like
the color of Kentucky grass. White
is also used and there is great deal
of very simple black that Is being
worn by young girls
The other school of evening gowns
is what is known as the glittering
type 1t depends for its effect on
the richness and sparkle of it's en-
broidery or fringes which are car
ried out in the beads and sequins and
sometimes .diamante and crystal. The
form of the latter species is straight
er than that of the chiffon gown, for
the fullness necessitated by filmy
material is replaced by fiat fiounces
and slashed panels In a gown that Is
weighted by embroidery. Another con-
trast in their elaborate types is the
often one-sided effect given by
drapery in the plain chiffon gowns,
whereas the embroidered dress is usu-
allv symmetrical in form
For the Traveller.
The urban exodus is about to be-
gin. Two things are uppermost In
the mind of the prospective feminine
traveller. What shall she wear for the
trip itself and the incidental touring,
and what types of dress will insure
her certain smartness, even when So
journing in a strange country.
The first consideration for the trav-
eler is that she arrive at her des-
tination as fresh and trim, or almost
so, as when she started out. Nothing
is more disillusioning than to leave
home In a fresh frock of some light
weight material and descend from the
train or motor hours later in some
thing that is so wrinkled and rum
pied as to bear almost no resem-
blance to its former self. Therefore
when travelling choose a costume of
soft wooden mixture These are adj
mirable for retaining their lines and
, not showing dust and soil. AS the
present tendency is toward great
expression of color, the dull, drab
checks are not so desirable as those
of a gayer tone.
Mohair provides an alternative for
the woman who finds the wooden too
warm, particularly for train travel,
! and it has the further advantage of
cleaning easily when necessary. If one
chooses this material il Is important
| to avoid those combined with artificial
silk, as this is apt to crease and frill
in an unbecoming manner when trav-
cling. Skirts are usually plated to
insure freedom of movement and come

Japan Makes Cheap Fuel

A fuel manufactured in Japan made
from charcoal dust, chaff and chopped
straw, is claimed to reduce greatly
costs Of heating and power. After the
mixture is made into a paste by grind
ing and mixing with moisture it is
rolled out, cut, then formed into
blocks or balls of various sizes. 1t is
said that the resulting fuel can be
sold profitably at 81 a ton.

CROSS
BY JEAN NEWTON

~ HIS is a word which from early
a childhood we used to describs
i'll temper or harshness or a dis.
agreeable mood. Yet there is no
genealogical derivation to be found
to justify this significance
Our practice Of calling a sulking or
an angry person cross goes back TO
the pictorial representation of cross,
its two lines crossing or in opposition
to each other. It was this physical
disagreement of the horizontal and
the vertical line. no doubt, which in
spired the old expression or colloqui-
alism. "don't cross him."
Crossing some one meant an all
tercation. Hence the term "cross"
to describe such frame of mind.
