Hobbies May Be
Turned to Account

The woman of today who finds her
self faced with the necessity of earning
her own living or helping with the
family expenses often solves her problem
by turning her hobby to account. Facts
show that there is far more chance of
winning the race by riding your hobby.
whose gait and peculiarities you know.
than by mounting a strange horse Of a
more swift-gaited appearance.
one prominent society woman in the
days Of prosperity kept rabbits as a
hobby. Now she makes both ends more
than meet by breeding angora rabbits
for their fur. Yet when she suggested
taking up rabbit breeding as A liveH
hood, friends told her that IL would be
wiser for her to learn stenographv and
go to work as private secretary.
Another woman whose only hobby was
playing the ukulele decided in the day
of adversity to turn this to good ar
count. She sought out three other
ukulele players and formed a ukulele
quartet, which has met with decided
success.
Whatever your hobby happens to be
embroidery, raising tulips. concoctine
homemade cosmetics, motoring IamY,.
shade making, book collecting private
theatricals-the chances for success are
far greater in some one Of these actiy-
tiles than in some cut-and-dr dried profess
sion or business that other people sug-
gest to you.
Not only does the hobby often show
the way to success for the adult woman
who finds herself faced with the prob
lem OF earning her daily bread. but the
hobbies Of children-trivial as thew NAV
seem-may very often point the wav n
the selection Of successful sareer for
them. Not only does a boy or girl ac-
qulre considerable proficiency in the
pursuit of hobby, but since hobbjes
are almost always chosen voluntariI.,
they. give very good index of the
childs native abilities.

Careful Speech Is
Not Affected

There are some persons who seem to
imagine that every one who speaks with
more precision or greater cultivation
than they do is affected. The country
peIzon thinks the city dweller is put
tin9 on" when he uses words and
phrases not in the country mans vo-
cabulary. The meagerly educated per-
son is inclined TO regard as affectation
the lingo Of the college man, and the
man who scorns books regards as
'sidey" the wide vocabulary of the man
whose diversion is reading Most per-
sons OF SUFFICIENT wealth to enjoy a GER
tain amount Of leisure and social inter-
course, TO travel and TO see the world at
various angles, acquire a certain fuency
of speech that snnoys the man or
woman who has little opportunity to
cultivate ease in conversation.
Let us say that you meet a group of
artists. They talk in an exaggerated
manner about matters of art, speak of
certain matters of technique that YOU
have never even heard OF as if they
we're of colossal Importance, rattle on
about this artist and that-wllose names
mean nothing to you-as II they were
the greatest men in the world: and use
art terms that you have always hesi-
tated to pronounce aloud with amazing
glibness.
All bA1o aAilApyS you. III uOtSn I seem
as II any one could talk that way
naturally. You condemn these artists
as abominably affected. And yet-were
YOU suddenly to abandon your present
vocation, and devote your time and
energy to the study and practice Of art,
% work with artists and talk with
artists and think with artists, the
chances are that in six months you
would be talking in very much the same

SO there you are. It Is very easy tc

Styles Introduce In
genious Ensembles in
Way of Accessories.

A CCESSORIES, like cards in a gooo
4 a poker hand, come in pairs and trios
when they want to win for their owners
this Summer.
Nothing is more forlorn. as a mat
ter of fact, than a lonesome, single
accessory of one kind or another.
You must match this up with that
II you want chic. And the different
ways you can find of matching acceS-
sories up is perfectly amazing
A new Paris frock has its black
gloves trimmed with ebony and pearl
buttons and its black suede gloves and
pumps also trimmed with the same.
A trio Of real beauty!
Shoes seldom walk alone this Sum-
mer. The very newest affinity they
have is belts There are multitudinous
kinds of belt and shoe combinations.
All of them are colorful, all give the
high-light in tone to the costume they
accompany. Some are of fabric, some
are of fancy skins, like baby sharkskin
and horoso kid Many are embroidered,
many inlaid with other feathers in de-
sign
One of the very SmarteSt is q pair
of white kid oxfordS and matching
belt, all handstitched in bright red to
go with q white shantung suit or frock.
The belt has a modernistic buckle in
white enamel with q wide diagonal
line of red, matching up the diagonal
stitchings Of the belt and shoes.
One Of the outstanding styles features
for Summer is found in the fabric
berets that match up scarf and purses.
The latest ones are of shantung or of
wash pique. They come in all colors
and some are perfectly stunning.
One such set is made of hand-blocked
shantung in a startlingly gay design OF
yellow, black and white. The same de-
sign appears in the three pieces of this
ensemble and 1t is excellent with a
tweed suit of a yellow and black mix
ture, with plain black silk suit, or
with white shantung OUTFIT. AS q

young girls dancing at the country
club, middle-aged women playing bridge
on the verandas Of Summer hotels, ste
nographers taking dictation In city Of
fces-you saw them all in many-hued
f1oral printed chiffons
1t is not surprising that plain-toned
materials were much in evidence this
Spring and that many wen dressed
women were rather cautious about
choosing prints of any sort. But this
seasons printed materials have proved
too tempting to resist and have come
to us as something quite different from
last years sprawling designs.
A s a rule, the printed materials eho-
sen for daytime dresses are rather
small, neateT and somewhat more
formal. There is less striving for orig
inal effects and unusual color combina-
tions, a greater willingness on the part
of the designers, II would seem, To 20
the past for inspiration.
Many of the most charming hgures
for daytime wear this Summer are
produced by eyelet embroidery on nain-
sock or other cotton materials These
materials are used for sleeveless blotIses
to be worn under jacket suits, for Ac-
cessory collars and cuffs and sometimes
for whole dresses. Dotted swiss Is also
decidedly smart this Summer. either
with dots matching the material or In
contrasting color. while batiste and
other sheer cotton materials sometimes
show embroidered, colored. floral de-
signs.
ONE of the smartest frocks I have
~ seen for the Summer wardrobe was
made of white handkerchief linen
showing a design of embroidered daisies
IN green, yellow and brown. Short
sleeves and neckline we're outlined with
bands of yellow and brown linen, and
the white hat was banded with yellow
and brown ribbon.
Printed cotton broadcloth, printed
linen and printed pique are all mate
rails for the practical morning dress or
the sports dress that is such a useful
addition to every woman's vacation
wardrobe. Printed cotton voile and cot
ton net are chosen for many afternoon
and evening dresses by way of depar-
ture from printed chiffon and silk nets.
Powered taffeta makes a strong bid for
popularity this Summer, full ankle
length skirts, closely nodded bodice out
lining the curve of waist and hips, pos
sibly bouffant bow of plain toned taf-
feta at back or side.
-
THOUGH there Is always n plentiful
supply Of printed silk crepe, chiffon
and cotton dresses among the displays
OF the less expensive sort-practical little
dresses that do not exceed SIS In price
--one sees printed materials aplenty in
the shops OF the more expensive sort.
Cne Is impressed with the number of
black and white prints in the more ex-
elusive collections usually rather small
designs showing black on a white back
ground rs well as white on q black
background. White and green make
another smart combination this SUM

Accessories Come in Pairs

matter of fact, it looks fine with many
different types OF costume.
Sports things have a way of intro
ducing ingenious ensembles in the way
of accessories. The newest is the twin
fabric idea carried out in a figured silk
tie, of foulard or necktie silk, and
matched up in design and color in
linen.
One of these sets comes In two tones
of blue. with all-over floral design, dark
blue on light. The handkerchiefs in
these sets, incidentally, are just as big
as a mans handkerchief.
Other new and novel ensemble sets
include a white pique and black patent
leather outfit of sports shoes. gauntlet
gloves and beret. The different pieces
are made of the white pique and have
the edges bound in patent leather
The shoes heels are Of the same pat
ent leather. too.
For evening. it is quite the thing
nowadays for one who wears quaint
drop-shoulder frock OF fine lace to have
old-fashioned mitts made of the same
lace. Gloves and purses also match
up the gloves. and scarfs are matching
up in silks for Summers outdoor world

Now the long legs. stretching away to

Carvel semi-precious stones-lapis
lazuli, amethyst, jade, rose quartz-are
much used for brooches, necklaces and
earrings. They may even be bought in
sets, though many women HESITATE to
wear these three pieces at once.
The earrings are long pendants
matching in shape and often Identical
in size with the pendant which hanos
from q fine chain for the necklace
Frequently the necklace chain is inter
spersed with several small beads of the
carved stone.

New Skirts.

The new, fiaring-skirt silhouette is
achieved in different ways, but the de-
gree of the fare depends to some extent
on the type OF the dress. On suits and
street clothes generally it is slight. In
thin materials for sports wear 1t is
sometimes produced by pleats stitched
from the waistline well below the hips.
In tweed and other suit materials the
fare Is often accomplished merely by a
slight goring OF the sections of the
skirt.
Sometimes there is a deep shaped
skirt yoke to which a slightly circular
lower section is attached.
