COlOrS of New Season
Stress Shades of Blue

{ The importance of blue would be a
fitting chapter head in book dealing
with this seasons fashions. Never be-
fore has blue been such an important
cool-weather color. There are many
shades of blue to be seen, but as mat
ter of convenience they may be classified
under just three headings
The slate blues. silvery blues that
look not so much dull as that they had
been overcast with mist. These blues
came into Importance at the late Sum-
n1er collections in Paris, and have met
with great favor in this country.
Bright blues. the sort of blue we as

Bright navy blue. or, more correctly,
Just navy blue, because the darker
blues that we had come to accept as

important, and so is the newest beige

Reds are either very bright. true scar
lets or else wine -colored, like old Bur-
gundy.
Greens for street wear are either de-
cidedly grayish or else of blush cast,
suggesting Natter of other seasons.
Yellow is important for evening, and
is used with distinction as trimming
for navy blue.
There is not as much combination of
different colors, perhaps, as usual. Pink
and black are still smart for evening

satin was worn by a smartly dressed

suits the jersey blouses are made of a
combination of colors. With a black
suit the blouse is of gray black. yellow
and white. With a brown suit the jer-
sey blouse IS of brown, beige, white and

using pailettes of iridescent tones

The Sixth Sense.
DESPITE the progress of physiology

DESPITE the progress of physiology
the study of the human body is full
of mysteries. Some of it's we'll known
organs have never revealed either their
uses or the reason of their creation.
The part played by the spleen in human
life was discovered but recently. It is
now regarded as one of the chief agents
in the circulation of the blood But
there are in the marvellous human or
ganlsm mysterious parts which it is
possible that no savant, however pro-
+ und his learning may ever under
stand. For instance, in the skull be-
hlnd the cartilage of the nose, there is
a little cavity of unknown origin. Phys
lologists believe that at one time, sew
eral thousand generations ago, it con-
talned gland consisting of two lobes
joined by their common base.
This cavity, the delta turcica, is. IN
the opinion of certain authorities the
vestige of sixth sense which was of
great use to the antediluvian ancestors
OF man. 1t is believed that this little
gland enabled them to see in the dark
ness when they had not yet learned the
secret of procuring light; that it was
the seat of the mysterious sense of
direction or locality, the power to orient
their course. the sense so highly de-
veloped to this day in savages and cer-
tain animals. The theory is plausible
but it is doubtful whether man will ever
acquire any real knowledge of the rea
son for the existence of the delta
turcica.

or go marketing with his mother And
just think what such a situation does to
a child, either daughter or son (because
there are equally as exclusive mother
and daughter relationship; it develops
no initiative in him, for it is father who
thinks up the games and probably IN
mistaken kindness makes himself
pleasant loser. Another child would
never do that. He would demand to do
what he wanted to do and he'd fight to
win. Every child needs that sort OF
competition and friction. He'll never
get it when his father, or mother. is his
exclusive companion"
You feel very deeply about this"
said Mr.. Wilson. Il suppose our IDEAS
are more or less influenced by our per-
sonal experiences. We children always
wanted to be home nights because
neither and dad played with us-cards,
authors. checkers, dominoes, sang songs
with u.s. read to U.s. All the neighbors'
children wanted to stay away from
home because their fathers couldn't be
bothered giving any time to the chill
dren. They used to go and sit through
reel after reel of a movie so that it
would be time to go to bed when they
got home. Nothing interesting there"
You see," said Mrs. Moore how
to a child. I have one idea and you
have another You aren't describing
palship (Which means to my notion be-
ing everything to your child to the ex-
clusion of any interests but you), but
conpanionship, which means entering
into the child's life in healthy and
natural manner. Your kind of home
life is ideal, if it isn't so perfect that
it weakens the child's courage to live
in other surroundings when the tine
comes. Parents dare not overlook the
educational value of reading to chill
dren and the opportunity to get closer
to them, and the playing together you
described is desirable and memorable
privilege for parent and child, but pal
ship boils down to this: If a parent
sacrifices his own normal interests to
be with his child constantly he is bound
to overdo it; if he has no other interest
but the child he arrives at the same
point. The perfect parent (if there is
such) has so excellent an idea of what
is for the child's best interests that he
intuitively knows when it is expedient
to be sympathetically present in spirit
and absent in the flesh, or when to be
seen and not heard -

The clever woman does much in the
way she dresses to accentuate or de-
crease her apparent height.
There are always smart shoes to be
had with heels not too high. A wide
brimmed hat makes the taller woman
seem shorter. Rather voluminous
clothes, too, help with this trick.
Not, Of course, clothes that are bulkily
the coat makes tall woman look much
shorter than she looks with collar of
fiat fur-fox against lamb, for instance
The short woman, of course can do
as much to make herself appear taller.
BY the flatter heels and the lower hat
the tall woman really makes her height
less. So buy hat as high as fashion
allows. and as one finds becoming a
woman may add actually a little to her
height, and high heels add more frac-
tions of inches, too.
And the short woman who is dressed
with great trimneSs also looks taller
Not, OF course. II you measure her off
against her tall escorts shoulder or
arm or ear. But still she gives the ap-
pearance of being taller than the short
woman fuSsily dressed.
Did you ever notice how often we
speak admiringly of the girl who is
not tall but appears to be SOP"
The French novelist Balzac frequently
describes his heroines as belonging 10
this class--and 1t would not be hard to
find many instances. in the writing of
other we'll known authors, of heroines
of this sort
1t Is usual and natural for a man to
admire a woman shorter than himself.
A man who Is actually short himself
feels that a taller woman draws atten-
ton to his own diminutive stature. A
mans sentiments regarding the height
of women are usually subjective matter
and as a usual thing tall men give the
subject far less thought than do the
short men
short man likes to be seen with a
shorter wonnan-but If the shorter wom-
an actually appears tall so much the
better. Casual observers judge by the
effect, not by actual measurement, and
if John Smith. who is but feet S, is
seen walking with Mary Jones. who is
