In your once, on the beach, at lunch
con at fashionable restaurant, guests
at a garden party-wherever you see q
group of women together, notice the
predominating color. Because almost
always there is a predominating color
account for it as you will.
Seyenty-five per cent of the women
at country club dance wore white the
other night. Today in the Office more
than half Of the girls wore blue. AT
luncheon tomorrow you may ind green
the predominatine color, and when you
20 to the beach next week end you may
find the majority Of women dressed IN
yellow. That does not necessarily mean
that white Is the most popular evening
tone this Summer, or that blue Is most
highly favored for Offices, green for
luncheons or yellow for beach wear.
Put 1t down as q coincidence If you
like or ascribe 1t to the weather. The
fact remains that there is something
contagious about color and that the day
you look through your wardrobe and
decide to wear q white dress, other
women who are doing and thinking
much the same thing that you are, will
doubtless be affected by the same M
fluences.

year, During the last five years he,
with his family, has spent Christ
mas in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan,
West Virginia and Indiana, and in
each new home, he has taken his
Christmas festivities with him.
The tree is a large one, lighted
brilliantly with more than seventy
bulbs, fashioned to represent all
manner of birds, beasts and flow
ers, with three lights in likenesses
Of st. Nicholas, st. Peter and the
Pied Piper.
The ornaments number more than
two hundred. Some of the lights
Burkhart has had since 1907, before
his marriage, and some Of the deco
rations are even older.
At the base of the tree is an cleo

scaping within the tracks.
Behind the tree is the back

Santa sailing across the heavens in

Above the stable, in The Year"
the angel carrying the banner,

of the Virgin and her son, st.

familiar since his childhood.
