Mrs. Christy and Mrs. Miller, club

got out of Mrs. Gilbert's coupe and sur

|O most Americans Summer time
is holiday time, whether they
take four months vacation, the
i conventional two weeks or only
stop work Saturday afternoons,
Sunday and the Fourth of July. And
more and more American cities, where
the great majority of people must stay
on and toll, are presenting the ap-
pearance of Summer resorts during the
warm months.
Tennis courts in the city parks and
vacant lots, swimming pools in clubs
and hotels, golf courses within easy
access of office districts, roof gardens,
restaurant tables set in open court
yards and reclaimed back yards Of old
city houses give the city dweller an OPP
portunity to share in the holiday spirit
which seems to belong to warmer
weather.
To most of us the more formal sort
of social life makes very little appeal
after the first warm days in May. The
conventional sort of dinner party is
given up in favor of the less cere-
monious sort Of supper party, and the
prospect of motoring to the country
for dinner pleases us more than a
formal dinner in town.
1t is hard for us to realize that a

is still on the program in London at
the close Of May when by the first of
May we are beginning TO lose interest
in formal parties Of any sort.
X X X X
A LII of this has very definite rela-
ton to the problem of feminine
fashions during Spring and Summer
The fact that we no longer dine very
formally does not mean that we do not
wish to dine fashionably, nor does the
fact that the men of our acquaintance
are increasingly loathe to don formal
evening clothes mean that we are con-
tent to neglect the convention of dress
ing for dinner and the evening. 1t does
mean, however, that we wisely choose
evening dresses of less formal sort
and very often they are of the sort that
may be worn in the late afternoon as
well as evening.
For dresses of this sort nothing is
more attractive or smarter at present
than plain pastel-toned chiffon, which
Is usually handled quite simply, with
short, pulled sleeves or a cape collar

Women Have Long
Used Cosmetics

Some people seem to think that the
use of powder and rouge is an entirely
modern innovation. They speak of the
use of cosmetics in general as a modern
tendency.
They draw their conclusions in too
personal way. The woman of so recalls
that neither her mother nor her grand
mother used face powder-much less
rouge or lipstick Ergo these aids to
beauty were not used in the old days.
The fact of the matter probably is
that mother lived In small town and
grandmother lived in the countryside

sees something of fashionable life and
spends q month or so every year in

of course, in the best sense of
the word, means ultra-fem' nine
Il No one reviewing the recent
Paris openings could fail to see
the fashion details that contribute t.
they more IN evidence than in the soft
dressmaker suits. 1t is these soft
touches that take the suit out of the
tailored class and make of 1t an article
OF smart apparel as varied in form as
the dress may be.
The suit has become an increasingly
important fashion. 1t is doubly-one
might say triply-so this season. For
never have silk suits looked so inspir
ing. With the dressmaker suit pre-
cedent, the soft feminine touches, the
new delightful silhouette, to inspire our
famous designers, they are creating
suits that are really works of art--aGd
individual in each of their many smart
ways.
WHAT is the smartest of the new
suits? Well, almost, which one
isn't? There are two-piece suits of one
material, plain or printed-a dress and
coat, which may be jacket, bolerC,
or In three quarter length. These in
all sorts Of small prints and plain
COiOTS, dS tuey are Deu1B QOne, are

print in which the good old polka dot
becomes a star literally and in two

the star print with dark background
for the skirt and coat-the reverse of
the color combination being used for
the blouse.

Social Diversions

You will usually find that the house
wife who has no taste for society and
prefers to spend her leisure hours at
home as a feeling, either expressed or
cherished that the woman who goes
away from home when her housework
is done is 'gadder." She is sure that
her work is not properly done and she
is sorry for her husband.
Yet the surprising thing is that often
those women whom we see leaving their
houses in the early afternoon dressed
for social diversion, women vino are
frequently busted in charity and church
activities, are excellent housewives. They
seem to be able to work more rapidly,

Study of Periods in
Gardening.
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

A FEW years ago few people who did
not have large country estates with
at least one gardener thought very much
about producing distinctive effects in
their gardens. They planted their ia
vorite flowers, had trees that they
thought suitable for shade, put in
shrubs to conceal too-apparent founda-
tons, with latticeS or arborS here and
there to hide back doors or clothes-dry-
ing yards But that was usually the eX-
tent of their efforts. Surely they sell
dom strove to produce distinctive period
effectS-theSe persons OF moderate
means and moderate property.
Now even the owner Of house with
a back yard barely 20 feet square is apt
to think of this patch Of earth as the
foundation for an interesting and dis
tinctive garden-not something to be
looked at from windows indoors or to
show a patch of green with the color of
flowers to passersby. but as an outdoor
living room, bit of outdoS:s in which

He served the church in which he worshipped and the people whom to loved. Thousands |Iaid homage as he lay in state under the dome of the capitol and then later when he was taken to the All Souls Church high up on 16th Street. He received the sim pie offices of the Unitarian faith in which he lived and the Federal Government claimed him last of all for a military burial in Ar lington cemetery. A great flag vas draped over the. man who dur ing life time had been both President and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He was the only man in American history who ev- Ter held both positions.

Many of the high government of ficials stood on the steps of the White House with the President and his wife, remaining barehead- led until the body had passed on.
 The Taft pew in the church was heaped high with flowers when the Rev. Ulysses Pierce read some bits of poetry and enboned few lines of the scriptures and said a prayer over Taft in one of the shor- test and most simple ceremonies ever given to such high dignitary las William Howard Taft.

Dr.. Braafadt also ascertained that sev- eral racers would come up the coast for the big race.

BENCH SHOW COMING
 FEATURE OF FAIR

The grand opening of the First Annual Northwestern Alaska Fair | is soon here. Thursday, March l 27, is the day set for the opening. The first big feature is the first annual bench show, set for 2 o'clock in the afternoon. This is the first bench show in Nome, and the managers are making it an Alaskan affair. It is fitting that in our first fair, the dogs of the trail should be the first feature. Mala- mutes, Siberians and Mackenzie River huskies are all especially lfeatured.
 The grand opening of the main Fair is at o'clock on the evening of the same day, March 27, at the Eagle Hall. Space is being reserved by the different depart Eents and the argument now is to allot it fairly without leaving anyone out.
 l The first annual fair is already attracting attention on the outside. l Wholesale houses such as the Ma tional Grocery, handling Reliance
 brand canned goods, Carnation Milk Company. selling their fam ous Carnation milk. and other
 houses are making offers and send ing donations for the fair.
 The committee in charge of the reindeer department is work ling diligently. Housing facilities
 for the deer have been secured at Fort Davis and the supplies
 oi reindeer moss have been plac- ed there for the use of visiting
 reindeer teams.
 | Space does not permit dis cussion of the activities of each depa but suffice it to say that interest is very keen. Not only that. but the interest is crys-
 tallizing to real activity which will no doubt reach fever heat in lthe last few days prior to the
 grand opening. There will be something doing every minute. l Ee sure to arrange to take in ev- erything. Season tickets will soon be on sale. Out-of-town folks. we hope that you will enjoy the visit which you are planning to make to Nome during Fair Week. IL will be gala week for Nome iites and We hope that you will join us. Special airplane excur- Ision trips to the fair have been made by both airplane companies. And the planes, it is said. will
 have all the business they can handle during fair week.
