GATHERINGS
Harold NJ. Parsons to Give Dinner Party-Gaietics of Interest.

In this busy season when partc8 come thick and fast plans are made
 well in advance and invitations are going out weeks ahead of the ac-
 tual party. This is particularly mo- ticed with gaicties out at the shut tie Meadow club this fall, since tn" regular club calendar offers but two football dances, one falling on Oc- tobcr 2Gth and another taking place
 on the 1Gth of November. 1t goes without saying that invitations must
 be issued at an early date or con- nicting engagements will arise.
 The Bennett dance on the first of November occasions many dinner parties. These of course are large and small. some of them no-host parties and others progressive dlH- ner gatherings.

LISTEN TO IT

II you wish to try an unusual
experience, find a clump OF Gu.
lalia. Then stand quietly and
listen to it grow. You will soon
hear a sharp click among this
hardy tall-plumed plant that grows
on lawns in all parts of the coun-
try. says Nature Magazine. 1t will
sound as loud as a snap OF your
fingers. New shoots are trying
to push between the stalks of last
year, and the flinty hardness VI
the dead culms holds them back.
Youth will not be denied. The
shoots shoulder their way be-.
tween the bases of the old canes,
expanding quickly in the spring
sunshine The strain increases
until the old wood gives way with
a snap. New grass Is being born.

PRLNTEDS LLKSFOR SUMMER

Lightweight WOOIens
and Printed Silks
For Tr0UeLinq

NOR the woman whose vaca.
u ton Is to be spent travelling,
several printed silk frocks are
an almost essential part Of her
wardrobe. Lightweight woolens-
for the actual travelling are the
best selection, but when one stops
over in order to do bit Of sight
seeing the printed silk frock is al
most indispensable.
Dark in color and light In
weight, the two frocks illustrated
are charming examples of the
printed silks being shown this
season.
On the left, navy blue and pink
plaid is fashioned into two.piece
frock essentially of the season.
The blouse shows the popular
bow and jabot treatment and the
tight hip band adds further chic.
The material is cut on the bias
for TIE blouse, making cnafm-
ing contrast to the pleated skirt.
A tight blue felt helmet IL worn
with the costume.
The frock on the right Is of
black and white foulard, the al
most invisible dots being unevenly
spaced. This bolero dress seems
to have a mere powdering Of
white over 1t, and the white
chemisette and cuffs and the
tight hips make 1t one of the
most charming frocks Of the
season.
Very smart, indeed, are the
jackets OF plain material worn
with plaid skirt and either a
tailored blouse ora more feminine
style.
You can have too much of a
good thing. but we never seem 20
tire OF matching our accessories.
A new. development is to match
ones cigarette. case with the
handbag. and of course the hand.
bag already matches ones shoes.
Try it in one Of the pastel kids.

The blouse I'm showing today
will provide novelty and chic to
your summer wardrobe. II is
favorite Paris Riviera fashion, and
one of the most popular ever. It's
utter simplicity is what caused
its widespread popularity.
It's a secret, but I'm going to
let you in it. You can make it
in three different ways. Even
your most intimate friend won't
suspect you used the same pat
tern.
A styIist to whom / was talking,
who had just returned from
abroad. described these adorable
blouses. And you can make any
one or the three at a very NOM
inal sum.
The first was as illustrated In
egg shell shade crepe de chine,
with the applied neckband, mar
row cuffs of long gathered sleeves
and hip bow showing vivid con.
trast in eggshell crepe dotted in
orange. 1t is worn with plated
crepe skirt in orange. 1t can
also be worn with black plated
skirt. with rajah silk in orange
tones, or with silk crepe skirt in
eggshell shade.
The second idea is typically
sports in sky-blue and white ging-
ham check. The bow is omitted
from hip, because 1t is worn as
'tuck.in' with white flannel skirt
that > plated and stitched to
wide hip yoke. 1t is decidedly
jaunty. The applied neekband
and cuffs are made of the ging-
ham cut on the bias, which serves
as a smart trimming.
The third is interesting for va
cation, with the sleeves omitted,
rather suggesting a sweater in
white rajah silk with self-trim.

over your left shoulder. You will
not be able to do this stunt
unless you are an expert acrobat,
but the effort is good exercise and
refreshing.
Sensible diet has much to do
with the shapeliness of the legs
as well as of the entire body.
Eat enough. but eat slowly and
see that seach day you include
milk, fruit, fresh vegetables and
either lean meat or fish or eggs
in your menus.
Oil massage may fatten scrawny
legs. but it is the massage rather
than the oil that does the work,
since oil applied externally does
not feed tissue, but massage stimu-
latcs circulation of blood, which
Is tissue food.
Modern fashions are designed
for slender, graceful athletic figures,
with fine straight arms and legs
So If you wish to look well in
your new clothes. develop the
symmetry and grace Of your
limbs.

INVESTMENT
IN AMERICA

There is a significance in the
fact that 100000 Americans
bought securities in 1921 while
the number Is years ago was
only 500 600. The number is in
creasing by leaps and hounds to-
day and will continue to mount
higher and higher as the months
come and go. While some OF this
increased activity will be reflected
in unwise speculation and in the
purchase OF unsound investments,
most of those who compose this
vast new army of investors are
choosing their securities with
discrimination and sound juig-
ment.-Thrift Maya zine.
