FASHION FLASHES
BY Anne Anglin

It's far from a bull market
this spring, as red is 4 primary
color favorite, daytime and night
time. Hence the copious amount
Of red silk crepe purses and
bags which meet the eye on all
sides. Marcasite and less ,elabor-
ate mountings make them suit
able for many occasions.
The blouse takes on q partner
and displays a most unusual ap-
pendage: A white satin blouse,
trimmed with bands of black
Valenciennes lace, has attached to
it white satin panties with a
deep hem Of the same lace. This
unique innovation is worn with a
severe tailleur of black.
The fur cOllarette is an impOr-
tant niche in the mode, and is a
most desirable adjunct to the
spring coat. White caracul lined
with black moire makes a charm
ing frame for the face, and the
black bow which ties it in front
gives a most demure air.

when she is out with others,
there Is no sign of sleep and she
will be out til two or three in
the morning. ! am getting very
discouraged with this practice,
and / write to you, knowing
you can help me out"
Thank you, Billie-In try.
Yours is an odd situation, Billy,
quite.
Can't you make your conversa-
ton a little more exciting? 1t Is
said of Mark Twain that once
when he moved into a certain
Connecticut city. being con-
genial sort, he made friendly ad'
vances to his next-door neighbor,
which were received with indif-
ference.
A few mornings later. he saw
flames bursting from the rear of
this neighbor's house. He walked
quietly across the front lawn and
remarked genially to his friend on
the front porch: Good morning,
neighbor. Your house is on fire!"
then walked nonchalantly back
home.
Now, If you could manage to in
ject some similarly vital matter
into your conversation. perhaps
the young lady would not fall
asleep.

also great l.elp in keeping the
mouth sweet and clean. If you
take a trip to the dentist each
six months, to have your teeth
looked over, they will cost you
less in time and trouble than II
you let them go until they be-
come badly decayed.
Lovely hands and immaculate
finger nails mean just moment
or two of daily care and they are
a great beauty asset.
Since l am quoting celebrities in
this article, believe l will con-
clude by printing few lines from
a letter written by your great ex'
President, Thomas Jefferson, TO
his young daughter in 1888.
"Above all things and at all
times," he wrote to Patsy" "let
your clothes be neat, whole and
properly put on. Do not fancy
you must wear them until the dirt
Is visible to the eye. You will be
the last one who will be sensible
of this. Nothing is so disgusting
to our sex as a want of cleanliness
and delicacy in yours. hope,
therefore, the moment you arise
from bed your first work will be TO
dress yourself in such style as that
you may be seen by any gentls-
man without his being able to dis
cover a pin amiss. or any other cir
cumstance of neatness wanting"
This fatherly advice to the be-
loved Patsy, flapper of 1888, may
VIZ be needed also by the delight

The Bashful suitor

Tn@ baSn1W Su1bOf
Brunette asks, in substance,
whether there are not ways Of
encouraging a young man to take
the initiative.
'Not being able to solve my
own problem" writes Brunette,
"I am bringing it to you, hoping
you will help me.
For q couple Of years I've had
q very dear friend, and now !
find that I care for her brother.
Henry, as shall call him, is
about 81. He has shown in diff.
ferent ways that he cares for me,
50 / don't think my caring is a
wholly one.sided affair. He also
has a very good chum Of about
IS, from whom he is inseparable.
This chum has good deal Of in
fluence over him and doesn't
want him to go with girls.
Henry sees me home nearly
every night when / go to see my
girl friend. The other night he
suggested that we go out to-
gether-just we two. / told him
yes, but he has never broached
the subject again. Would it be
too forward of me to remind him
in a joking way? ! really care
more for him than for any of the
boys ! have gone with-and
there have been quite a few.
Wont you please answer and
help me? It means so much to
me. Thank you so much"
Under the circumstances, Bru-
nette, do not think it would
seem forward, or indeed be so,
for you to take the matter up as
suggested in your letter. Henry
has taken the initiative by sug.
gesting that you and he go out
together. In reminding him Of
this in a friendly, tactful, half
joking way you will make It
easier for him to make a definite
engagement. If he should not do
so, you would. of course, never
mention the matter again.
Many a bashful young man, no
doubt, would appreciate and be
helped by a little modest, tactful
encouragement. Your case seems
to call for apprehension or under
standing even more than for
patience.

 All trucks are one-ton capacities. and were crated and loaded on sondola cars on the special train Bodies are now being built in Shanghai where the trucks are to be assembled.

 China is developing similar to the progress in the United States century ago. The interior is still unsafe just as our western frontier was before settlers pushed west ward. In cities along the eastern coast. life and property are prac. tically as safe aS in any American city.
