Father. / fear, will rue the day
that cousin Angela descended upon
Biarrit1, fresh from Paris. with
clothes that made my small ward.
robe look positively niggardly.
could have been unmoved by her
dozens Of beautiful evening gowns,
and her beach ensembles, but when
! was obliged to yield her supremacy
in hats, ! really reached the point
OF ,emotion where tears must balm
the soul.
She Looks Diffcrent
Angela. you see, Is tall and beauti-
fuI. and even in these dull days when
women all look alike, she manages to
look different. She has frocks just
overlaid with embroidery, coats drip
ping with fur. negligees that are vi
sions in mauve and -jade-and even
in her millinery she manages to con-
vey the idea that she will not bend
her proud head to the obvious.
Two of her hats have been scnsa-
lions here, and had them photo
graphed for you--perhaps you would
like to copy them. Both are from
Agnes. and you know she knows her
millinery.
O.. Challenging Chapeau
That aviator chapeau, which ought
to be named Lady Lindbergh If it
isn't, is in the most marvellous deep
blue-something Of the color of tho
sky at night, and it Is fitted marvel
ously so that 1t outlines the lovely
line Of her head at the back and
sides. The front is slashed to give
an excuse for very nifty ornament
Of silver threads.
l can't begin to tell you how ro-
mantle and imaginative this looks in
these days when hats have 50 little
courage. But the other ID even more
challenging. This turban with the
big butterfly bow ut the back Is made
Of Spanish red velvet. When Angela
appeared one rather chilly day in a
black satin freck, this hat and a sill
yer fox fur dangling about her shoul-
ders. decided there was no justice
in the world. She wanted to give me
the hat-hut she was safe. I could
never have carried it. knew it
and she did. So I insisted that she
keep. il so that I might retain the
pleasure Of looking at it rather than
yield It by possession.
Diamond Shaped Trimming
She has the most lovely white chif-
fon gown with DIAMOND shaped pet
ais over which she wears the most
beautifully tailored coat Of black
crepe with huge crimson rose on
her shoulder.
Another gown that is too lovely
is . pale gray chiffon evening gown,
the skirt Of which is entirely covered
with diamond shaped points all heav-
lily beaded in tiny gold beads. The
blouse has a square neckline and a
tailored belt with a gold buckle.
When, she affects simplicity, she
does it with such distinction that you
marvgl at the artistry. For instance,
she. has one black satin gown that is
quite plain, with very simple bodice
and straight plain sleeves, and skirt
draped slightly in the front. This
drapery is held in place by large
ornament Of rhinestones in onyx
eheckerboard, design. 1t is the sort
Of gown any woman would adore to
possess, and yet most Of US would
find it too severe.

7" OF course, when her outfit was re-
vealed to me in all its splcndor,
realized that l had not done right
by myself at all, SO il we return to
Paris next week, without even going
to the Lido. there is going to be no
complaining from me. And ! shall
haunt the couturier's mirror-lined
rooms until have the inspiration !
need.
Gray, of course. promises TO be
very smart, but I shall avoid it.
There is no color that is capable Of
more double dealing than gray. On
some women it is marvellous, but
even 1T it's best distrust it. How
ever, I am expecting to look upon
green with mind open to conviction,
and combination Of black and white
will find me an easy victim.
Back to Paris
Another reason why I'm glad to
10 back to Paris is that Jacques is
on his way home. Need say more :!
At any rate. you know ] will. 90 be
prepared.
All sorts Of loving messages and
best wishes accompany this some
what incoherent letter. Mother joins
