that mingle a collection OF small pop
pies. daisies and corn flowers in red
white and blue colorS. There are bou-
Quets of tiny fruits, too, that may be
worn with tailored suits or sports
dresses.
There is definite trend away from
the shaggy, dropping flowers, at least
for daytime wear, and flowers made
from fabric are less often seen. De-
cidedly new are boutonnieres contain
ing four or five blossoms that look
something like morning glories. made
from colored leather.
Smartness demands that the artifi-
cial flowers chosen should harmonic
perfectly with the color of the ensem-
BILE, and demands also that flowers
should be Immediately fresh. Unless
one can afford to replace ones bouquet
often. it is better to forego flowers en-
tirely.
To wear with the red, white and bl .
ensemble, which Is even more in fash
ion this Summer than last, there are
the little bouquets of tiny peoples, corn
flowers and dwarf daisies just men,

scheme there are sets of three bangles,
one red. one white and one blue, to be
worn together on one wrist.

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Sox Appeal.

o0X appeal
New York has been excited, OF late,
by statement from a woman professor
who advises girls to invest one-tenth OF
their wardrobe budget in silk stockings.
Her idea is that trim, If not tricky,
appearance is necessary for success, and
who can make a good impression with
poor hosiery?
But what seems funny about this soX
advice is that it should have been given.
The average girl knows it all too we'll
and invests in hosiery all too fully
What does not go into the silk of stock
ings is used up by the leather and suede
of pumps.
II there was ever an age when the
feminine foot had its day it's the age
We have with us. The slick sock, which
Is not -; fitting in cold weather as 1t is
at other times and in other ways, is a
necessary part of milady's toilet. There 5
no longer any chance TO get away with
dowdy hosiery.
Hosiery and Harmony.
The various parts of woman's toilet
are harmonious as to both cause and
effect. When woman decided to get out
into life for fair she had TO dress the
part. AS soon as her hair was bobbed
the skirt had to be docked. for there Is
necessary connection between these
tonSorial and sartorial effects.
Just as the bobbed head had to have
its tricky hat, so the short skirt had to
be accompanied by exotic hosiery. IL
only one could actually capitalize the
saving in skirt material and turn 1t into
its stocking equivalent there would be
real economy in the minimum of cloth
ing which woman wears. The price is
about the only thing which hasn't been
6ocked.
But there is a sort of psychology
about hosiery which does more than
make the appeal of sickness and smart
ness. When girl is foot-free there's a
sense of liberty which pervades her
whole personality She can move about
upon her own initiative the way a
steamer comes into port under her own
power without being towed in.
The Freedom of the Knees.
Then these free feet. which make 1t
possible for woman to cross a street
while the traffic is on, suggest that
woman is having her fling in the world.
There was q time when we were all held
back like Chinese ladies whose feet were
bound and whose range OF travel was
limited
But we have broken with our tradi-
lions just as the Oriental women did
with theirs. We are free at last and en-
JOY the freedom of the knees.
Men have tried to initiate us with
their knickerbockers, but it's only here
and there that We see grown-up man
in plus fours, and he seems little out
of place in the street where pants are
the rule.
Some people fear that women who
get themselves up like men will become
mannish, but as long as we emphasize
silk. we maintain our feminine appear
ance.
(Copyreht, 1921
