Just
Every
Day
Sense

1T is probable that no one ever
L has had from life all the gifts
for which he had hoped. A little
less than our dreams is the
measure of mortality. Women,
because they anticipate too much.
often get far less than they de-
serve or could have from
existence.
They expect too much from life;
they expect too much of their
men; they expect too much of
their children. and therefore, are
doomed to continual disappoint-
ment.
From the cradle to the grave,
woman chases some mythical
bluebird of happiness. # you
should ask her what she means by
the word, the chances are very
good that she could not define it.
Miseries they can not analyze for
ever are dogging the footsteps of
the feminine.
From some inimical source we
seem to have received the urge to
pursue an elusive rapture. 1t turks
for us just around the next corner
and we believe that if we could
but grasp it once We might know
peace.
q
THUS, having our eyes fixed
l. SO intently upon some dream
Of a perfect Tomorrow, most of
us let our lives slip by without
having appreciated the good
things that have been ours.
We miss most of the pleasant
and comfortable rewards of living
because Of this constant search
for the superlative. We miss
friendly contacts with people; we
miss the solid satisfactions of the
commonplace. And half the time.
being absorbed with the unattain-
able, we do not recognize true
happiness when we hold it in our
hands.
Men seem to me much wiser
about life. They take from each
day the gifts it has for them.
They practice reasonable
amount Of resignation with con-
ditions as they are. They COM
promise with Fate.
They know the solace OF a pipe
a book and an easy chair: thew
taste to the full the flavor Of
tood, and they understand the
wisdom Of accepting reality.

What's in Fashion?
Special Bag for Special Costume
Directed Bg AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, June 17-Every
IN smart handbag has a job to do
this summer. Besides carrying your
money and whatnots, it has to
carry out your costume color
scheme.
That's why the well-dressed wo-
man has so many more handbags
this summer than she usually does.
In the daytime-for general use
with street costumes-the handbags
carried by fashionable women usu-
ally match the coat or suit. Match
it in color and in texture.
So-because rougher surfaced
fabrics like crepey woolenS are
fashionable rougher surfaced
feathers like pin seal, morocco, peli-
can, ostrich, pigskin and grained
calfskin make many of the fashion
able handbags.
Smooth feathers like calfskin and
patent go with the smooth silks Of
dresses. Linens and shantungs are
ready to be carried with summer
suits of those materials.
To match the costume colors
there are bags in black, navy, brown
and beige. But occasionally it's
smarter to make a contrasting ac-
cent-such as white bag carried
with a navy suit when white gloves
or scarf are worn. Or a red one
when some other accessory is red.
And because printed dresses are
best liked of all, there are bags in
many other colors so some color in
the print can be copied and ac-
cented in the bag.
Accents on White
But it's quite another story when
you come to sportSwear. Watch the
best-dressed women and you'll see
they wear much white. All-white
costumes or white costumes with
bright accents.
And many of the bright accents
are found in handbags. Reds,
greens, pastels, stripes-any color to
match any other accessory. Or
white to match the dress.
What kind of bag with your linen
dress? Linen, of course. With vour
shantung? Naturally, a shantung
bag. And pique with piqCe.
Patent leather to match your
patent leather belt. Calfskin to go
with your calfskin shoes. Straw to
ensemble with your hat of straw.
Envelope Is Smart
Smart ideas, don't you think so?
And thousands of womenagree with
you.
The envelope is still the most
fashionable day time and sports
wear handbag. Newest ones are
made on rigid frames concealed
under the flap that help the bag
keep its shape.
And some of the new sports en-
velopes are almost square, instead
Of the usual rectangle shape.
Pouches, too, are being built on
rigid frames, and for sports the bag
with top handle is convenient as it
can be carried hung over the arm.
Evening bags, too, are smartest
when they match something. If it
isn't the dress, it's the shoes or the
chiffon handkerchief or the jewelry.
Pearl Bead Ones Useful
Crepes, moires and failles take
color beautifully-one good reason
why they're more in fashion than
anything else.
But pearl bead bags are smartly
useful-Since they go with almost
anything.

White NeUe7~
More Smart
for Summer"
BY JOAN SAVOY,
NTA Service Writer.

You can make your sports things
do lot of two-timing this sum-
mer, if you pick them right.
The most correct sports things
behave in chic manner on the golf
links or tennis courts. Then you
add a scarf or one Of those little
sports frigole affairs Of knitted
gaudy stuff or a bit Of topping
Of printed linen
Presto, you have just the thing
to wear when you step into the
grand stand to watch others playl
Every well-built sports outfit this
summer gets a head start if it is
white. Never was white so impor-
tant. Nor so chic. Everything un-
der the sun from piques through
fancy and gorgeous linens to the
rough and ready and essentially
smart shantung silks come in
white.
Just Change Lipstick
Nor need you shy from white
because you look better In color.
Merely change your lipstick and
white is the most fiattering thing
you can wear.
One Of the smartest two-time
sports things seen this year is an
active sports frock, in two-piece
cut, made of white shantung silk,
with skirt gored and jacket over
blouse beIted and slightly fitted,
with a round neckline and no
collar.
Put this on and you are fixed
for any sport on links, court or
field, Add the aquamarine blue
and white scarf and beret and
there you are, all dressed up to
go to the yacht races or the tennis
tournaments.
Scarf Is Novel
The scarf is cut in new manner,
with a narrow band around the
neck so as not to burden you on
hot days, with two squares of blue
and white that hang down the
front from under the chin.
There is a touch of blue to the
modernistic crystal belt buckle of
the dress, just to indicate what can
be done in color contrast.
The diminutive beret Is blue
around the outside, white at the
center.
Your sports shoes can be white,
with blue bows, or plain white
sports shoes, if you are playing in
this outfit.

Develop this model in a crepe silk
print as sketched-and you'll love it.
1t will meet everyday occasions per-
pectly.
And while it looks just as smart
as can be in the crepe silk print,
it also looks exceedingly well in thin

Plain crepe silk also makes up
splendidly. A navy blue, for In
