New Things Make
Gayer Card Party

IT'S the time of year for card
parties-because every time of
year is right for them-no time, per-
haps, more than another. because we
find cards among our greatest diver
sions, and contract has given a boost
to them
There isn't much work in getting
ready for a card party. Refresh
ments NAV cost as much. of both
time and money, as you wish. But
they may also be of the simplest sort
and still be satisfactory. Sandwiches
and tea, in the afternoon, answer well
all social requirements. Ice cream
with little cakes in the evening does
the same thing So there is no need
for worrying about refreshments.
An elaborate one-course refreshment
may be served, or two-course refresh
ment, if you wish. Strawberry short
cake with whipped cream, served with
coffee and Salted nuts may be served
either afternoon or evening. So may
a frozen or jellied fruit salad. Or
creamed chicken or chicken salad, fol-
lowed by some frozen dessert, with
coffee and nuts and candies, can be
served for elaborate two-course re-
freshmentS.
The shops are full of things to
make the card party interesting.
There are new card tables every time
we turn around. Some are made so
that they tip up, or down, screen
fashion and can be placed before
fireplace or against wall when not
in use in a decorative manner.
Some of the new tables are lacquered,
red or green as you choose, and have
black tops. There are, OF course, all
sorts of covers to slip over the table,
including some made in honor of the
Washington Bicentennial, decked with
stars and other patriotic emblems-
and done, of course, in the trlcolor
1t is possible now TO get playing
cards that are not expensive, but still
are attractive. 1t is, however. still
possible to spend more money than a
little on really nice cards. These more
expensive cards are beautifully finished
and have most attractive designs. The
cheaper cards, too, it must be admit
ted, are smooth and pleasant to use
and are decorated in charming fashion.
They. show modern designs OF angles
and lines, as well as perky little dogs
and pretty little girls.

Mending May Not Be
Always Worth While

IN the household of today there is
L always the very fair question as to
whether a certain article, worn or
broken. is worth repairing. In days
long gone the question almost never
arose so long as there was any OF the
original article to be mended. But now
so often a new article can be bought
for no more or for even less than it
would cost to have the older one
mended. In days gone by all we'll
regulated households had the where
withal for making simple repairs, but
now about the only repair tools in
many homes are needles, threads and
equipment for mending and darning
clothes.
In our departure from the old
method We have gone too far in the
other direction. We often discard
things that are well worth mending,

Dots, too, are much in favor, and

ton against the floral prints that are
usually nominated for first honors at
this time of the year.
PlaidS, too, are used by some Of the

rate blouses as well as for facings and
Innings and scarfs
Short, just-to-the-wais blouses of
plaid gingham are worn with neutral
toned sweaters and sport skirts-and
perhaps that is the most effective use
of plaids that we have.

Eye Strain Mars.

THE face will become wrinkled and
haggard in consequence of eye
strain. II the daily work is of such a
nature that the eyes become tired, it is
good plan frequently to get up and
look at some other object, preferably
out of the window.
Always keep the head as erect as
possible. To be constantly looking
down is very bad for the eyes. The
moment the eyes are tired, the work
upon which they are engaged should
be put away.

~ APARTMENT STORE executives
tell us that when buyers use
\ bad Judgment Of color in max
~ ing their selections, mark
downs" are sure to follow.
That is to say, if the buyer of the
suit department bought a great many
suits of colors and color combinations
that proved not to be fashionable, the
store has to take loss by selling these
suits at loss. The same thing is true
of shoes, jewelry, handbags and every
thing else that women wear.
So it is that color is an important
factor in choosing merchandise, and 1t
is just as important to you personally
in choosing your own things.
THIS year color has to be considered
with special care, because fashion
permits SO much greater freedom in its
selection. A few seasons ago you could
play safe and buy all your things to
match the dress with which they were
to be worn. This season costume is
likely TO look drab and characterless
unless it contains some sort OF color
contrast Not only should your colors.
and color combinations be becoming to
you personally, but they should carry
with them the conviction of smartness
and indication of current trend OF
fashions.
The color combination is often pre-
determined for you in the making of
dress. In other cases the dress itself Is
monotone, while the necessary contrast
is carried out by means OF accessories.
You may choose accessories to give
colorful touch to dress of neutral or
dark color; you may choose them to
match the color accent of the dress, or
you may choose dull or neutral acces-
sories to tone down the vivid hue of the
dress The whole question of color is
thus closely associated with the question
of accessories. One cannot be conSid-
cred without the other.
7 ETS begin with navy blue, which
- has turned out to be-as most
fashion reporters predicted-the most
widely fashionable color of the season.
Navy with pure white is considered de-
cidedly smart, especially for the suit of
tailored sort. 1t has the same crisp
correct appearance that black and white
did a season ago.
Navy with a brighter, lighter tone of
blue has been featured by many of the
smart French dreSsmakers, who also
combine navy blue with bright green.
A subtler combination-slso approved
in Paris-consists Of navy blue with
eggshell navy blue with citron, or navy
with dusty pink
Sometimes navy or brighter than
navy is combined with white and yell
low. Navy and strawberry is decidedly
smart, and last, but by no means least,
navy and gray, which Is especially
smart in flannel
The all-black ensemble, like the black
andwhite costume, is less in evidence
than it was last season, though all
black dresses and coats are abundant
in the Wardrobes of we'll dressed women.
Usually they are worn with some con-
trast of color. Pink, ranging from pale

UNCLE WIGGHY AND

Uncle Wiggily and Baby Bunty

At the meetings, Weller said. such
subjects as poverty, race and re-

THE PIONEER PERIOD ENDS

UE would be stolid indeed who failed to
- get an emotional jar out of the news
that Tor the first time in history more
people are leaving America than are ar
irving.
The answer, of course. is obvious
hard times. The land of promise doesn't
gleam quite as brightly as it used to, and
as result the number of immigrants to
the United States is only about one-third
the number of emigrants.
This condition. beyond any doubt. is
only temporary. Yet it does bring to a
full stop one of the most amazing move
ments of people in the story of mankind
the movement that began before the
18th century was over and that ended
just the other day.
Even though we have seen and read
about this movement since we were child
rem, we don't always appreciate its mag
nitude.
Consider the bare facts. At the time
Washington began his first term as Pres
ldent, what is now the United States con-
tanned perhaps five million people
counting all the Indians, the Spanish and
French at New Orleans and the Spanish
and MeXicans in the southwest and along
the west coast.
1oudy IL contains upwards OF lZO,UOO,
600. In less than century and half an
almost empty continent has been filled
up-filled up so thoroughly, indeed, that
now there is no room in it for ambitious
immigrants from beyond the seas. The
worlds most dazzling era of expansion
is over at last The last moments of the
pioneer period are finished
In the next few decades this change is
going to have profound effects on every
aspect of national life. The days of easy
money, boom times, ever-new opportun-
tiles are done for. Life is going to be
less fluid, class lines are going to harden,
the path from the log cabin to the great
mansion is going to become little more
difficult to travel.
But those are things for the economist,
the sociologist and the historian to dis
cuss. At the moment we can get only
the emotional side of it. A period in
history has come to a close. The peo-
pie of the United States are beginning a
new day.
